Rebirth: Daughter of Marquis

"Father, please investigate this matter clearly." Xia Weilan said indifferently.

She knew that Xia Zhengyan definitely wanted to shield Xia Yuying, but she definitely wouldn't do what she just did.

Xia Zhengyan's face was a little ugly. He looked at Xia Weilan's indifferent expression and the who was at a loss as to what to do.

"Alright, this matter has naturally been confirmed. Since Yu Ying has done such a disgraceful thing, why don't we go out and live for a while. Reflect on it, Second Aunt will accompany us." When he said these words, the expression on his face became slightly subtle, but she still said them out loud.

"Father!" Xia Yuying's pair of eyes stared widely, and with a look of disbelief, she was completely stunned.

If she continued to live outside, didn't that mean she wouldn't be able to live in the Hou Mansion?

"Master! Please don't be like this, Yuying was just muddleheaded for a moment, if you kick her out, I'm afraid you won't know when she'll return, Master, I beg you, please love your daughter! When Second Aunt saw this, he panicked and kneeled to the ground with a "plop" as he cried with a miserable expression.

Xia Zhengyan looked impartial and selfless, but his eyes were filled with unwillingness to part. He did not want to see the outcome of this incident turning out like this either.

Seeing Xia Zhengyan's gaze cast towards his, Xia Weilan guessed that he was hoping for her to say some kind of pleading, and upon thinking about it, her face revealed a bright smile, and revealed a look of pity: "Father, I also cannot bear to see Sisters like this."

"Right." Xia Zhengyan nodded and continued to look at Xia Weilan, hoping that she would continue speaking.

"But daughter feels that Sisters should be taught a lesson. This way, Sisters can remember what happened today and not make the same mistake again in the future." Xia Weilan said slowly with a gentle smile on her face.

Xia Weilan could understand Xia Zhengyan, after all, he still liked that woman. As for her mother, he had probably already forgotten about his.

Xia Zhengyan's face turned ugly, and he did not say anything for a long time.

Just as the situation was at a stalemate, a voice came from outside the door.

"I think this is fine, but the punishment is still too heavy. I think from now on Second Aunt will no longer have to manage the affairs of the palace. As for Yu Ying's words, she should close her doors and think them through." With one hand on her walking stick, the Old Mistress Xia slowly walked in while hunching her back with a body. She was wearing expensive clothes and her grey hair was combed meticulously.

"Grandmother, haven't you had a headache recently? Leave such a small matter to Lan Er." When Xia Weilan saw her coming in, she immediately walked over. She stepped forward and supported the Old Mistress Xia with her arm, and smiled.

When Old Mistress Xia saw her coming over, her face also revealed a smile. She grabbed onto Xia Weilan's hand with one hand, and said while walking: "I also hope that this matter won't get out of hand, and that's why I can only let you down." She whispered into Xia Weilan's ear.

Xia Weilan's face revealed a knowing smile, the expression on her face was unfathomable, but it carried the aura of a noble daughter, and she lowered her head and said: "Understood granddaughter, I will follow Grandmother's instructions."

A few people were listening to what Xia Weilan was saying. Xia Yuying could no longer hold it in, her face was filled with caution and fear, and in her heart, she was thinking that no matter what, the Old Mistress Xia would not ignore her.

"Mother, since you're not feeling well, don't come out and walk. Your son feels that your mother's thoughts are very good." Xia Zhengyan stood at the main seat, and his heart was slightly at ease. It was all thanks to her, otherwise, this matter would not have been easy to handle.

Old Mistress Xia's eyes looked back and forth between and Second Aunt, but did not reveal any expression, making it hard for people to see what she was thinking.

"Since that's the case, then this matter is decided. Second Aunt will hand over all of his matters to me tomorrow, so Xia Yuying will also go and close up his doors and reflect on it. " She waved and sat down.

"Mom, this, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!" The Second Aunt had great authority, everything in the palace was managed by her, so how could she be willing to hand over power now to others?

"Alright, I've decided on this. You don't need to say anymore. I'm tired too, so I want to go back and rest." The Old Mistress Xia stood up as she spoke, she used her walking stick to leave.

Second Aunt's expression became ugly. If that was the case, then she would have a chance to stand up for herself in the future. However, what should she do: "Mother, the affairs in the manor are very complicated. She said worriedly and ran over.

When Old Mistress Xia heard this, her footsteps paused. She glanced in Xia Weilan's direction, and Second Aunt's heart sank even more.

"This isn't a big deal. Weilan isn't young anymore, so I can leave the matters of the mansion to her to gain experience. Otherwise, when we get to the Fu family's residence, we'll only be able to experience the wind and snow." Although her voice was a bit hoarse, her entire person seemed to have suddenly regained their spirits.

Second Aunt was speechless, the hand under her sleeve was clenching into a fist, it was obvious that she was extremely angry, her face turned from green to purple, but she could not say more, because this was already the best result.

When everyone had left, there were only Xia Weilan and Second Aunt left in the main hall.

"Aunt, you are tired after taking care of the affairs of the manor. Now I am willing to help you." Xia Weilan whispered into her ear as she brushed past her.

Second Aunt's face became ugly, but in the end, she was still an old man so she could calm her heart. She raised her hand, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and lightly wiped the tip of her nose: "I was afraid that you would not be able to complete your task, Hou Mansion is a rich and powerful family, and right now, I'm afraid that you have been unable to complete it."

"There's no need for Aunt to worry. If there's anything I don't understand, I will ask Second Aunt about it." Xia Weilan stopped and said indifferently, looking back, and even revealed a smile on his face.

That smile was naturally extremely dazzling in Second Aunt's eyes. She even had the impulse to kill her, but she endured it.

"Alright, if anything happens, don't hide it." There was some disdain in Second Aunt's tone. She didn't believe that the girl in front of her could take care of Hou Mansion properly.
