At this moment, there was another commotion at the door, and Marquis Huai En had returned.
Normally, Marquis Huai'en's favorite daughter was Liu Lu'an, but at this moment, when he entered the house, the first person he looked at was not her, but his eldest daughter who had been lost and found.
He originally thought his daughter was dead, but she was standing in front of him alive. Even though he had been displeased with his daughter for the past few years, the moment he saw her, Huai Enhou's eyes were still red.
"Xixi."
Liu Tangxi walked from the corridor to the courtyard and saluted to Huai Enhou, "Dad."
Seeing his living daughter, Marquis Huai En couldn't help but reach out and hug her.
"Good, good, good." Huai Enhou said three good words in a row.
After holding her for a while, when Huai Enhou let go of his daughter, his eyes were already moist.
"Oh, Dad thought I would never see you again in this life, but I didn't expect you to come back." Huai Enhou sniffed and said.
Although Liu Tangxi was touched, she did not have much affection for Marquis Huai En. Moreover, the original owner did not seem to have any affection for this biological father who only knew how to protect his concubine sister and was not on her side.
So Liu Tangxi just smiled and said nothing.
Liu Yanan stood aside and watched for a while. At this moment, he looked at the quiet Liu Tangxi, then looked at Huai Enhou, and said, "Congratulations, Daddy, congratulations, Big Sister. Now that my sister is back, our family can finally be reunited."
Huai Enhou glanced at his second daughter and said with a smile, "Well, your elder sister is back. This is indeed a happy occasion."
After saying this, thinking of his still sick wife, Marquis Huai En sighed slightly and looked sad.
"If your mother's illness can be cured, it will be double happiness."
Although he had many complaints about his wife in the past two years, she was still his first wife after all, and they had been together for decades.
Now that I know she is very ill, I feel a little regretful for the last argument with her.
Thinking of this, Marquis Huai En thought that he had just been talking to his daughter and had not had time to go in to see her, so he walked in. After entering, he saw that Yin was asleep, and he sat by her bed for a while.
After a while, he came out and asked Madam Shao.
Ever since Liu Yunan took out the purse, Madam Shao's expression became ugly. Even though Liu Yunan put the purse away, Madam Shao was still a little distracted.
Seeing Madam Shao like this, Marquis Huai'en thought she was worried about Yin's illness, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After giving a few instructions to Madam Shao, Marquis Huai En went outside to see his daughter.
When he went out, he saw his two daughters, who were not arguing, but looking at each other with smiles.
One is his legitimate daughter, and the other is his most proud daughter.
He had been thinking about this scene for more than ten years and finally saw it.
For fear of disturbing Yin who had just fallen asleep, the three of them sat down in the pavilion in the main courtyard.
After sitting down, Marquis Huai En looked at his eldest daughter again.
Although he had disliked his eldest daughter before, he was filled with joy when he got her back.
However, there are some things that need to be clarified.
"By the way, what exactly happened that day? Weren't you pushed off the cliff by Xing'er?" asked Marquis Huai En.
Hearing this, Liu Tangxi glanced at Liu Luan.
"How did Dad know?" Liu Tangxi asked.
Huai Enhou said, "Xing'er was the one who confessed it. Also, your second sister saw it with her own eyes."
"Oh~ Second sister saw it with her own eyes?" Liu Tangxi looked at Liu An.
However, Liu Luan'an's eyes flickered and his left hand moved towards the right cuff.
"Yes, my sister saw it with her own eyes." Liu Luan'an said with certainty.
Liu Tangxi pursed her lips.
Although they had just reached a consensus, Liu Luan still held the purse.
Although Liu Tangxi is not a particularly smart person, he is not stupid either.
Therefore, she would never admit that she had really fallen off the cliff.
After all, if she admitted it and Liu Luan handed over the purse, wouldn’t it be miserable for her and Yin?
"Is this true? How did you escape afterwards?" Marquis Huai En did not notice the eye contact between his two daughters and continued to ask anxiously.
"My daughter doesn't remember." Liu Tangxi said.
After saying this, Liu Luan stopped moving and looked at her.
"Huh? You don't remember?" Huai Enhou asked in surprise.
Liu Tangxi nodded and said, "I really don't remember. My daughter only vaguely remembers having a headache, as if she fell off a cliff or was knocked unconscious by someone. Then it seemed like someone put her in a carriage."
"Can you see clearly who that person is?" asked Marquis Huai En.
As a marquis, Marquis Huai En believed that there was a conspiracy.
Liu Tangxi glanced at Liu Luan and shook his head, "No. My daughter was in Weijia Village when she woke up."
Hearing the words Weijia Village, Marquis Huai En frowned slightly and asked, "Then why don't you hurry back to Beijing?"
Liu Tangxi said, "I don't remember. I only remember that my name is Liu Tangxi, but I don't remember where my home is or who my parents are. If I hadn't gone to the Wenchang Marquis's mansion today and the old lady of the Wenchang Marquis told me, I still wouldn't have remembered."
Huai Enhou sighed and said, "I heard outside that although you came back, you lost your memory. I thought it was a lie, but now that I see that your personality is different and you can't remember anything, I have to believe it. Remember the things you forgot slowly."
After saying this, Marquis Huai En thought about the troubles his two daughters had caused before, and looked at his eldest daughter. "You are also responsible for what happened that day. You wanted the traffickers to sell your second sister, so you had fewer people around you. But ever since you got into trouble, your second sister has been unable to eat or sleep, and she is worried, guilty, and sad. In the past two years, she has often gone to the temple to pray for you. Don't bully your second sister like you did before."
Hearing this, Liu Tangxi sighed slightly in her heart. It was no wonder that the relationship between the original owner and the heroine was getting worse and worse, and the relationship between the original owner and Marquis Huai En was getting more and more distant. As the legitimate daughter of Marquis Huai En, she had not returned for two years, but Marquis Huai En said this in front of her.
As a bystander, she felt a little uncomfortable, let alone the original owner.
Liu Yanan looked at Liu Tangxi.
Huai Enhou often said this kind of thing, and every time he said it, Liu Tangxi would make a fuss.
However, today, she looked up slightly, smiled at her, and said, "Daddy is right. Thank you, second sister."
Liu Yanan also smiled and said, "You're welcome, sister."
However, Huai Enhou found the scene very pleasing. He smiled with his eyes narrowed, looking pleased.
He held one of his daughter's hands, then put their hands together and said, "You two are my favorite daughters. As long as you get along well, I will be relieved."
Liu Tangxi smiled.
Liu Yanan was also laughing.
The two people's smiles are more brilliant than the other, but also more fake than the other.
As the three were talking, something suddenly happened in the front yard and Huai Enhou was called away.
Liu Tangxi and Liu Luan stood up at the same time to say goodbye to Huai Enhou.
Huai Enhou held his two daughters' hands together and said with a smile, "You two sisters haven't seen each other for several years. Have a good chat. Daddy is going to the front yard first."
"Yes, Daddy, Daddy, take care."
Liu Tangxi held Liu Luan's left hand with his right hand, then Liu Tangxi raised his left hand and Liu Luan raised his right hand to say goodbye to Huai Enhou.
When Marquis Huai En's back disappeared in the main courtyard, the two men's clasped hands immediately loosened.
They looked at each other and no one said a word to each other.
Liu Tangxi went into the house to see Yin, while Liu Yanan sat in the pavilion for two quarters of an hour before leaving.
After all, Marquis Huai En wanted the two sisters to have a good chat. If they left at this time, Marquis Huai En would inevitably be displeased.
As soon as Liu Yanan left, Liu Tangxi looked at Nanny Shao who was standing beside them with a pale face.
"Mammy, what's the matter with that purse?"
Madam Shao didn't want to tell Liu Tangxi, but now that she had the evidence against her, she had no choice but to tell her. So, she told her everything.
"Madam prepared that purse a few months ago. There was medicine in it. Madam wanted Ju'er to poison the second young lady, but the second young lady was fine. The purse was also taken by the second young lady. Ju'er is also missing. Young lady, what should we do? What if the second young lady tells the Marquis? Wouldn't Madam be punished by the Marquis's Mansion?" As she spoke, Madam Shao looked at Yin, who was lying on the bed with a pale face.
Hearing these words, Liu Tangxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she guessed correctly just now. If things really got out of hand, Marquis Huai En would definitely be angry.
See, this is the plot. This is a cool novel with a heroine as the protagonist. The vicious villain will never succeed in anything he does, but will be caught by the heroine.
"Madam is seriously ill now. The imperial physician said that she cannot get angry or torture herself, otherwise her life will be in danger. I'll take responsibility for this matter. If the Marquis asks, just say it was me." Madam Shao said with determination.
Liu Tangxi said, "No need."
Madam Shao looked surprised and asked, "What do you mean, young lady?"
"My second sister probably won't tell father."
"Why?"
"If she wanted to say it, she would have just said it." Liu Tangxi said, "My mother had someone poison my second sister a few months ago, but my second sister is still fine, which means that my second sister had discovered it a long time ago. But she never said anything."
Thinking of this, Liu Tangxi felt more relieved. It seemed that the heroine didn't really want to kill Yin, otherwise, she could have stabbed Yin again after the last quarrel between Yin and Huai Enhou, and guaranteed that Yin would be abandoned by Huai Enhou and die like the ending in the book.
Nanny Shao was stunned.
Recently her lady fell ill, and she was busy taking care of her illness and managing the household for her, so she neglected many things.
"The girl has become smarter." Nanny Shao looked at Liu Tangxi with eyes full of relief.
Liu Tangxi felt embarrassed when she was praised. She was not smart at all. She just read the book and had some understanding of the heroine's character.
"Let's go in and see mother first."
"Oh, okay."
All day long, Yin slept in bed except for waking up to eat and take medicine, and Liu Tangxi sat beside her to watch over her.
Although the mistress of the Marquisate, Yin, was ill, Liu Tangxi's safe return was a major event and a happy occasion, so Marquis Huai'en discussed with Yin and the family gathered together for dinner in the evening.
Liu Tangxi didn't want to go through so much trouble and didn't want to make any efforts. She just wanted to stay by Yin's side, but Yin felt that her daughter was the eldest daughter and she deserved it.
Since she insisted on doing so, Liu Tangxi had no choice but to agree.
When they said they were going to have a meal together, it meant that all the concubines in the mansion and Liu Tangxi's brothers and sisters were gathered together.
Liu Tangxi knew that these brothers, sisters and aunts all had their own thoughts. Some of them sided with the heroine, while others attached themselves to the Yin family.
Yin had no son, so the aunt who gave birth to a son naturally wanted to register the son under Yin's name.
Liu Tangxi was not smart enough and did not want to bother with these matters, so he ate in silence.
Normally, Liu Tangxi had a hot temper, and even if someone disliked her, no one in the mansion dared to confront her. But now that she had returned safely, and there were so many rumors outside, everyone was looking at her cautiously, but no one dared to ask.
Probably no one was happy at this meal except Marquis Huai En.
The meal was finished in a strange atmosphere. After the meal, everyone sat in the hall and talked.
Liu Tangxi always had a smile on her face, but she still didn't say much and looked very gentle.
Everyone was very surprised, as if they were looking at a completely unfamiliar Liu Tangxi.
At this moment, the steward came over and reported, "My Lord, Wei Xiuzhuan is here. Do you want to see him?"
After saying that, he glanced at Liu Tangxi.
Liu Tangxi was suddenly startled and then she remembered that she had been in a state of nervousness the whole day and forgot to ask someone to tell Wei Hanzhou that she was coming to the Marquis' Mansion.
Marquis Huai En frowned slightly.
Liu Tangxi didn't even look at him, and quickly said to the steward, "Let him in quickly."
Huai Enhou glanced at his daughter and said in a bad tone, "Then let him in."
After a while, Wei Hanzhou arrived.
Everyone in the room looked over there.
Wei Hanzhou was wearing a green court robe, black boots, and a pair of...
Shabby look.
Everyone looked at Wei Hanzhou, and then at Liu Tangxi.
It's such a pity that the daughter of a marquis is married to a minor official of the sixth rank.
Among them, Marquis Huai En had the ugliest expression.
He felt that Wei Hanzhou was marrying above his station when he married his concubine's daughter to him, but now, his legitimate daughter is marrying him.
He had a stern face, trying to intimidate Wei Hanzhou.
However, at this moment, Liu Tangxi, who had been acting gentle and virtuous all day, ran over like a gust of wind, grabbed Wei Hanzhou's hand, and said excitedly, "Husband, you are finally here."
She felt like crying when she said this.
This day in the Marquis' Mansion felt more difficult than the previous two years.
Seeing Wei Hanzhou now is like seeing a relative.
Huai Enhou's face became even uglier.
He had coaxed his daughter who was lukewarm to him all day, but she was so close to this man in green?
