But since the eldest daughter of the Chu family can catch the eyes of the queens and the princes, why would she marry a mere son of a marquis?

Jiang Huaizhu thought it through, but a gentle smile appeared on his face:

"To answer my aunt, Princess Jingyi just told Shu'er that she likes him very much and wants to make friends with him. She also asked him to visit her often in the future."

Hearing this, Lu's face turned pale instantly.

But in front of the younger generation, Lu concealed her worries and smiled:

"Princess Jingyi has always been favored, and her standards are very high. Since she has taken a fancy to you, you should cherish this opportunity and spend more time with her."

She said this, but she didn't think so at all.

Jiang Huaizhu couldn't help but realize that Madam Lu was testing her. She lowered her head and said, "Princess Jingyi has a spoiled temper. If Shu'er gets too close to her and accidentally offends her, wouldn't that implicate her uncle and aunt's family as well? So, Shu'er should keep a low profile and follow her uncle and aunt's instructions in everything."

Seeing her niece so well-behaved and sensible, Mrs. Lu's smile immediately became sincere. "Good girl, it would be great if you could be your aunt's daughter."

As she spoke, she complained, "Look at your cousin. Compared to you, she's just a rude and unruly girl who doesn't know any manners. I raised her with so much effort, but she always contradicts me. She even threatened to disown me as her mother because of some trivial incident..."

As she spoke, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears. Jiang Huaizhu took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears, and comforted her gently.

The more Lu listened, the more she enjoyed it. She felt that this girl was really sensible and every word she said touched her heart.

However, she did not notice the coldness in Jiang Huaizhu's eyes, nor did she notice that her daughter was standing not far away, frowning and showing a sarcastic smile, and heard all her complaints.

Shen Tingsi looked at Lu and understood in his heart.

There are only hypocritical bitches and evil people who openly bully Jiang Xiancao in this marquis's mansion.

No wonder she hated the Jiang family so much and refused to let them go.

He had only been staying in the Jiang family for a few days using her identity, but he was already going crazy.

But she had been bullied by the Jiang family for more than half a year. How did she, a weak woman with no one to rely on, survive?

On the other side, when Jingyi was passing by the lake with a purse in her hand, she was suddenly bumped by a palace maid who was walking with her head down.

She swayed before she could steady herself, but the purse in her hand fell into the lake.

The palace maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize.

Princess Jingyi didn't bother to blame the maid for her mistake and quickly shouted, "Quick, someone who can swim, please fish out the purse for me!"
