The doorman came out and saw a group of people. He recognized them as people from the palace, but judging by the rules, it didn't seem like they were the masters of the palace. He thought they must be some eunuch and asked with a smile, "Which eunuch is visiting?"
Eunuch Cheng got out of the carriage and said, "We have followed the Queen's order and personally brought back your eldest daughter. Why don't you come and greet her as soon as possible?"
The doorman was shocked when he heard this. He quickly sent a servant to report the matter to the lady, and then came out to greet her: "I apologize for not coming to greet you from afar. I hope you will forgive me. I wonder if the young lady..."
Eunuch Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "The young lady is naturally in the carriage. Why don't you quickly spread a blanket on the steps in front of the door, prepare the brazier, and welcome the young lady into the mansion?"
If Yuan Xi had not come forward, Eunuch Cheng would at most have sent Xue Huan to the Marquis' Mansion. However, after knowing that Xue Huan was very likely to become Princess Yan, his attitude towards her became extremely serious. Not only did he behave respectfully himself, he also required the people in the Marquis' Mansion to be respectful as well.
The doorman was stunned by his rebuke. Didn't he know how the mansion treated this young lady who had been abandoned in a remote area? Several masters in the mansion were not prepared for this young lady's return.
Therefore, after hearing what Eunuch Cheng said, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Eunuch Cheng: "What are you still standing there for? Do you need me to teach you how to do this? The servants in the Marquis' Mansion are too slow in their work. When we return to the palace, I will definitely speak to the Empress about this."
The concierge was frightened and hurried to do as he was told.
After a while, the gate of the Marquis' Mansion opened, and a bright red carpet was laid from the threshold to the front of the carriage that Xue Huan was riding in. A brazier to dispel bad luck was also placed inside the door.
With such a respectful welcome, if you didn’t know better, you would think that the master of the palace had come to visit.
When everyone in the Marquis' Mansion received the news, they saw Eunuch Cheng helping Xue Huan down from the carriage with great respect.
This scene had a great impact on everyone including the Marquis' wife.
You have to know that Eunuch Cheng is the second most popular person around the Queen. Even when facing Marquis Changyang, he would not be so respectful. But in front of Xue Huan, he behaved so servilely. What qualifications does Xue Huan have to do this?
This is a heavy shock.
The second shock came from Xue Huan's beautiful face that resembled Lin Lanxiao.
Seeing Xue Huan's face, Madam Hou's pupils suddenly shrank, and her well-maintained nails suddenly dug into the palm of her hand, breaking one of them.
This face, like a nightmare, lingered in her mind for a long time, until she married the Marquis, the man she had admired for a long time, until she sent Lin Lansheng's daughter away, until she eradicated everything related to her in this Marquis's Mansion.
Lin Lan's face finally disappeared, and the shadow she brought to him also dissipated.
Who would have thought that after so many years, Lin Lan's daughter would appear in front of her so unexpectedly. She looked exactly like Lin Lan!
Wasn't my sister unhappy with this engagement? Why did she send someone to bring Xue Huan back? Even if she wanted to, she could have just pretended to do so. Why did she actually bring her back? Isn't this just to make things difficult for her?
However, no matter how much he disliked Xue Huan in his heart, he showed excitement, surprise, magnanimity and kindness on the surface.
She hurried over to Xue Huan, who had already stepped onto the stairs, and made a gesture to hold her hand, calling out affectionately, "Huan'er, I've been waiting so long for you to finally come back."
What a loving mother.
Unfortunately, Xue Huan had no intention of playing coy. She simply avoided her hand and said coldly, "Really? If you're so eager for me to come back, why didn't you bring me back earlier? Instead of waiting for the Queen to send someone?"
After saying this, regardless of the Marquis's wife's expression, he stepped over the threshold, entered the Marquis's mansion, and walked towards the brazier.
Mrs. Han originally thought that Xue Huan had lived in the remote village of Pengcheng for so many years that she had become timid and petty, so she planned to take a conciliatory approach. However, she did not expect that she would be so tough as soon as they met, and did not give her, her stepmother, any face at all.
"How dare you, a wild girl from the country, talk to my mother like that! Who do you think you are?" A boy of about ten years old rushed out from the side and ran straight towards Xue Huan.
It was Xue Cheng, the legitimate son of Han and Xue Zhi.
As the only legitimate grandson in the Marquis's mansion, this child was pampered and grew up in a honey pot. However, as he was pampered to this extent, he turned into a naughty child that was hated by everyone.
Like an enraged bull, he rammed his head into Xue Huan's back, intending to knock her into the brazier.
Although he has a bad temper, Xue Cheng inherited the martial arts talent of Marquis Changyang and has very good qualifications.
In Dayong, the qualifications for martial arts training range from ninth grade to first grade, with ninth grade being the lowest and first grade being the highest, and there is also the legendary super grade.
Xue Cheng's qualifications are of the third grade, which can be said to be not far from the top talent.
After all, there are very few people in this world who can reach the second or first grade. The second grade is already rare, and the first grade is almost non-existent.
The third rank is already the best talent known to the world.
This is also the reason why Xue Cheng was spoiled to the point of being ignorant of the immensity of the world.
He has good qualifications and is the only grandchild in this marquis's family. Wouldn't he be spoiled to the sky?
Although he is only ten years old, he has been engaged in martial arts since he was detected to have the third-grade martial arts talent at the age of six. Now, after five years of practice, his realm has reached the sixth level of body refining.
His cultivation level is higher than that of many adults who have practiced for many years.
This resulted in his arrogant and conceited character.
In this marquis's mansion, he is a real little bully.
Originally, he felt unhappy when he heard about Xue Huan's arrival. He only had one sister, Xue Yun'er, who was born to the same mother. Where did that Xue Huan come from?
From Pengcheng? What is Pengcheng? I've never heard of it. It must be a poor and remote place. Xue Huan, who grew up in such a place, must be a wild girl, a country bumpkin, and an ugly freak!
Xue Cheng had already disliked Xue Huan in his heart. When they met, he saw that she dared to ignore his mother in front of her and bully her. The malice that he had accumulated burst out instantly, and he rushed towards Xue Huan without thinking.
He already had the strength of the sixth level of body refining, and rushed over very quickly. For a moment, no one present could react, or did not want to react, and just watched coldly.
Seeing that Xue Huan was about to be knocked into the brazier by Xue Cheng, "Ah!" Xue Qin, the concubine of the first wife, screamed in surprise, somewhat afraid to look.
However, the next moment, what was heard was Xue Cheng's scream.
Xue Huan actually moved aside quickly the moment Xue Cheng bumped into her. However, Xue Cheng was unable to stop in time and fell headfirst into the brazier.
