“Wow—wow—”
"What should we do, Madam? The young master keeps crying, what if someone hears..."
"Idiot, can't you stop yourself from crying? You still need me, your madam, to handle such a small matter..." Xihe opened her eyes and saw a baby being held in the hands of a maid, waving her hands and crying loudly.
Below him was the shimmering lake water, his mouth was covered, and he was crying breathlessly.
Xihe's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he snatched the child away: "What are you doing?!"
The little maid's hands were empty. She looked at her mistress in bewilderment, at a loss as to what to do: "Young Madam, I, I..."
Xi He immediately interrupted her: "You are a traitor! The young master is so noble, how can we allow you to be so presumptuous? Hurry up and kowtow to the young master and apologize! Be careful, this lady will not forgive you!"
The little maid's face turned pale instantly, and she knelt on the ground: "Please spare my life, my lord. I will never dare to do it again!"
Xihe patted the little fellow's back and snorted, "For the sake of our many years of master-servant relationship, this lady will spare your life this time. Remember, this lady saw that the weather was fine and brought the young master out for some fresh air to strengthen the mother-son bond. Don't talk nonsense!"
The little maid kowtowed: "Madam, you are so kind. I will remember this."
"Young Master? Young Master? Where are you?"
Just then, an anxious call was heard from a distance.
Xihe glanced at the little maid, and Luwu's face was shocked. She quickly got up and tidied herself up in a few seconds.
Xihe raised the corner of his mouth, walked around the rockery, and came to the gravel road. The servant who was looking for the young master's eyes lit up and shouted, "We found the young master!"
In an instant, a group of people came running out from a distance.
The maidservant and the wet nurse cried with joy: "My lord, I have finally found you!"
The old lady came running over hurriedly on her crutches, tears in her eyes: "My son Chen!"
A group of people surrounded the young master, asking about his well-being and checking him over. They breathed a sigh of relief when they found that the little fellow was safe and sound. The old lady then looked at Xihe and said with a dark face, "Qiang, kneel down!"
Xihe knelt down obediently, but with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Why are you angry?"
The old lady stabbed the ground with her cane and glared at her. "You still dare to ask me why I'm angry? Who told you to take Chen'er away without permission? What are you thinking? I'm telling you, Chen'er is the legitimate grandson of the Meng family, the young prince personally appointed by His Majesty. If anything goes wrong with him, you'll be the only one held accountable!"
Xihe's face was pale, and she bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Lu Wu quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Old Madam, you have wronged my young mistress. She just wanted to be close to the young master, so she took him to the garden to get some fresh air. She absolutely had no bad intentions!"
Xihe shed crystal tears: "Grandma, Chen'er is also my son, how could I possibly harm him? You are really wronging your granddaughter-in-law."
Everyone:... Bah, as a stepmother, how dare you say that the young master is your son?
However, judging from her status, she was the wife of the prince of the Marquis's Mansion and the legitimate mother of the young prince. It was reasonable for the young prince to call her "mother".
But can a stepmother really treat her stepson well? They don't believe it.
Xihe took in everyone's expressions and curled the corners of her mouth slightly. Oh, luckily she arrived in time, otherwise if people found out that she was abusing the young master and trying to drown him, it would be irreparable.
This is a story about the rebirth of a legitimate daughter in ancient times.
The heroine, Xie Wan'er, is reborn with hatred. She punishes her stepmother, punishes her female partner, and finally marries the regent, leading a happy life.
Xihe’s target of this mission is Meng Huaiyu, the prince of the Marquis’ Mansion.
One of the heroine's golden fingers.
He has a handsome face and a tall stature. He never hides his affection for Xie Wan'er and helped her clear many obstacles in the early stages.
However, from the hero's perspective, this guy is an out-and-out political enemy, ruthless and resourceful, causing him considerable trouble. In the final showdown, Meng Huaiyu could have killed the regent, but because of the heroine, he chose to surrender and committed suicide in the prison.
The heroine cried bitterly, and the regent couldn't help but feel jealous, so he threw her on the bed and gave her a good "punishment".
This incident later became a regulator of the relationship between the male and female protagonists. It would be brought up from time to time and their relationship became even better.
Xihe: ...This rebellion ended in vain.
The reason why Meng Huaiyu treats the heroine so specially is that he was thrown into the water by his stepmother when he was a child, and he has been afraid of water ever since.
As soon as I entered the water, my limbs became weak and I had difficulty breathing.
Taking advantage of her rebirth, Xie Wan'er jumped into the water without hesitation to save Meng Huaiyu when he fell into the water.
And she left immediately after saving the person. This noble attitude of not coveting the Marquis's house for a reward made Meng Huaiyu feel that she was different. From then on, he regarded her as his salvation and carefully protected her everywhere.
Xihe touched his neck, still feeling scared.
As good as Meng Huaiyu is to the heroine, he is as cruel to the original owner.
The original owner tried to drown Meng Huaiyu. After being discovered, because her family was powerful and there was no solid evidence, she continued to be the wife of the Marquis.
Afterwards, during the more than ten years that Meng Huaiyu grew up, he had been tirelessly harming him, directly forcing Meng Huaiyu into a pervert.
He appears gentle and kind on the surface, but is actually gloomy and cruel, and likes to torture small animals.
Later, he cut the original owner into a human stick, shaving off her flesh piece by piece, letting ants gnaw at her body, and even forced the Qiang family's parents to eat the original owner's flesh...
Xihe: Ugh~
Fortunately, she arrived in time and the human stick was still far away from her.
All her thoughts and worries were gone for a moment. Xihe raised her head with a look of joy in her eyes. "Grandma, I just want to be a good mother and never thought of hurting the young master."
The old lady stared at her intently, and Xihe's eyes were frank. Anyway, she didn't want to harm Meng Huaiyu.
The old lady snorted coldly: "You'd better remember what you said today!"
He flicked his sleeves and left.
Everyone hurriedly followed, holding the young master in their arms, and soon the garden became quiet.
Lu Wu looked at her young lady cautiously and said, "Young Madam, I will help you up."
Xihe put his hand on it, used the force to stand up, raised his hand, touched the little maid's face, and smiled charmingly for no reason: "Good girl, you performed well today."
Lv Wu's heart dropped to the ground, and she couldn't help but smile: "Young Madam, shall we go back?"
Xihe nodded, and the two left the garden and returned to the Peony Garden.
The maids and old women had been waiting for a long time. She ordered "prepare water", then took off her outer clothes, removed her gold hairpins, stepped into the bathtub naked, and closed her eyes comfortably.
Madam Liu massaged her shoulders and scolded her, "Young lady, why are you so careless? If you want to do something, just let the servants do it. How can you do it yourself? It's really too risky."
"But so is the old lady."
She couldn't help but complain, "You are the daughter of the Prime Minister after all, and nominally the mother of the young master. She actually asked you to kneel in front of so many servants. This is simply too much!"
