After realizing that there was no changes on their expression, she continued: "Fortunately, the fortune teller said that when Banxia reaches adulthood and held her hairpin ceremony, all bad luck will turn into good fortune. Now the time has come and you have come to pick her up, right?"
Although Madam Jin was in her early forties, but because she did a good maintenance to her appearance, she looked like a lady in her thirties.
Madam Jin picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, covering up the disdain in her eyes.
Putting down the tea cup, Madam Jin's eyes returned to normal, and her tone remained like a kind-hearted Bodhisattva: "Who can say otherwise? This child has a hard life. I, as her mother, must take good care of her from now on."

As soon as she walked out of the room, the glare of the sun made her squinting her eyes.
This rebirth seemed as long as centuries, yet as short as last night.
Whether it's a dream or reality, she wants those who bullied and harmed her to go to hell.
In the main hall, the stepmother was talking to her uncle and aunt from the countryside.
This branch of Yao Family was considered a well-known big family in this small village. Who didn't know that this small Yao family has a cousin hailed from Marquis Yao Mansion in the capital, so no one dares to mess with them who dominates this area.
Therefore, although Yao Banxia has not been with her parents since she was a child, no one dares to bully her in the slightest.
When she walked into the main hall, she heard her stepmother's Bodhisattva tone. "Sigh! I feel sorry for this little daughter the most. She has lost her mother's care since she was a child and has been raised in the countryside for more than ten years. She can't see her father. How pitiful!"
"You can't be blamed for this. Who would expect a fortune teller will say that Banxia will harm the life of her mother and father. At first, my cousin in-law didn’t believe it, but after Banxia's biological mother passed away, my cousin in-law couldn’t help but to believe it, so he had no choice but to send Yao Banxia to this little village to be fostered in our family." When Banxia's aunt who was also the wife of Marquis Yao's cousin spoke, she looked at Banxia's and Madam Jin's expressions.

Although Madam Jin was in her early forties, but because she did a good maintenance to her appearance, she looked like a lady in her thirties.
Madam Jin picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, covering up the disdain in her eyes.
Putting down the tea cup, Madam Jin's eyes returned to normal, and her tone remained like a kind-hearted Bodhisattva: "Who can say otherwise? This child has a hard life. I, as her mother, must take good care of her from now on."
Hearing Madam Jin's words, Aunt Yao was relieved. .
Although Yao Banxia was not her daughter, she has raised her since she was a child. All this time, she has only given birth to sons and has no daughters, so she naturally treats Banxia as if her own daughter.
People say that country girls are vulgar, but Aunt Yao would never raise Banxia as a country girl.
There were rules that should be followed, and the things that should be taught has been taught to Banxia, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poems.
This was also where the Jin family gnashed their teeth with hatred. Mother Jin originally thought that she could raise Banxia in the countryside just like a village girl.
However, every time she come to visit, she found that Banxia was getting better and better.
Whenever Banxia was framed, she was able to turn danger into good fortune.
Because there were so many accidents, Aunt Yao took precautions and had people following her every day, so that the bad guys couldn't find any chance to attack.
Banxia walked in, hiding the hatred in her eyes.
She stepped forward and bowed politely: "Mother, it's this daughter's fault that this daughter fell into the water and became feverish, which made her worried."
The moment Madam Jin saw Banxia, there was a hint of disappointment and disgust in her eyes. But she concealed it very well, quickly squeezed out two drops of tears, and pretended to say: "Banxia, you finally woke up, are you still feeling unwell in any way? You have made mother feel bad."
Madam Jin pretended to pull Banxia to her side, which was imperceptibly avoided by Banxia.
Yao Banxia turned to look at her aunt and said, "Aunt, it's all Banxia's fault. You must not punish my sister. I believe she didn't mean it."
This sudden change of tone made everyone stunned.
Yao Banxia remembered the same scene in her previous life, she was confused by her stepmother's fake tears, and she clung to Madam Jin to act out a scene of a loving and affectionate mother and daughter.
One can imagine how sad Aunt Yao must have been when she saw everything. She had loved Banxia like a treasure, but Banxia suddenly got so close to a stepmother who has only been here for two days. It would be strange if she didn't feel any discomfort.
Madam Jin's whole body froze, never expecting that Banxia would say this.
Although she had little contact with Banxia, she came to visit her at least once every year and knew her temper clearly.
How could she, who has always been soft-hearted, kind, ignorant, weak and incompetent, say such a thing.
"Banxia, what does this have to do with your sister? Don't talk nonsense."
Madam Jin quickly reacted and gave Banxia a wink to tell Banxia not to talk nonsense.
Banxia immediately looked like she was being threatened and frightened, and stood cautiously beside her aunt, not daring to say anything.
Uncle Yao, who was also Marquis Yao's cousin, he also sat in the lobby and noticed the clues. He put down the tea cup with a sullen expression on his face.
Aunt Yao and the other younger cousins also looked unhappy.
The atmosphere in the main hall instantly became extremely awkward, which made Madam Jin wanted to tear Banxia into pieces.
This Banxia deliberately acted like this, as if she had been oppressing her, so she was afraid of her.
In the lobby, Aunt Yao glanced at Madam Jin and found that her face was not very good and she couldn't understand the reason.
So she took Banxia's hand and asked: "Tell me, didn't you fall into the pond by yourself?"
Yao Banxia looked at Madam Jin with a fearful look, and it made people distressed to see that she wanted to say something but was afraid of saying it.
At this moment, Uncle Yao stood up and said: "Banxia, tell the truth. Don't be afraid because uncle will make the decision for you."
Yao Banxia finally said: "It's Banxia's fault. Banxia shouldn't have taken Sister Qingdai to the pond to play, maybe my sister was not careful..."
At this point, Banxia paused deliberately, and then looked at Madam Jin's expression.
Even if Madam Jin could disguised her expression very well, she may not look very good at this moment.
"That's enough, stop talking. Now that you know you're wrong, don't go to dangerous places like the pond."
The conversation changed and Madam Jin put all the responsibility on Banxia.
In ancient times, a woman's reputation was so important that she would never allow Banxia to say anything detrimental to Qingdai.
Yao Banxia knew this, and sure enough, all the goodness of Madam Jin from the previous life were all fake.
Just because Banxia didn't comply to her plan, Madam Jin's true nature was exposed. It was ridiculous that she would have believed in this kind of poisonous snake pair mother and daughter in her previous life.
She immediately shed a tear of grievance, holding back something she didn't dare to say anymore.
When Uncle Yao saw this situation, he was furious.
Yao Banxia was already got bullied at home, who knows how much she would be bullied later when she get to the capital?
"Banxia, you slipped and fell into the water, leaving a foolish image in the eyes of the onlookers. This will affect the reputation of a lady. Why were you so careless?" Although Uncle Yao sounded like he was blaming Banxia, in fact, he was blaming himself even more when he couldn't blatantly tell the truth and gave Banxia justice.
The method done by Uncle Yao was actually very good, using the woman's reputation to solve the case, so Madam Jin couldn't find anything wrong with it.
"Uncle, who said I slipped and fell into the water? Sister Qingdai accidentally pushed me down."
This sentence made everyone in the main hall silent. "Sister Qingdai accidentally pushed her down?"
That careless sentence was still a defense. Her elser sister almost killed her, but she still defended her sister who harmed her. This kind of character is really hard for people to blame.
Madam Jin suddenly became angry: "Banxia, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say those things so casually. Do you want to ruin the reputation of your sister?"
With a plop, Banxia knelt down. Tears immediately flowed out, and she said aggrievedly: "Mother, it's this daughter's fault. This daughter shouldn't have said anything, even if the daughter is dead."
This sentence once again pushed Madam Jin to the forefront.
What kind of mother is she? Her daughter was almost killed, but she still refuses to see the truth. She is so vicious!
Although Yao Banxia was not her daughter, she has raised her since she was a child. All this time, she has only given birth to sons and has no daughters, so she naturally treats Banxia as if her own daughter.
