[True and False Heiresses + Mind Reading + Gossiping + No Romance + Slacker Life]
Yue Fuguang died hastily while saving someone.
Then, for the same reason, she was bound by a merit syst...
They never expected that the third daughter-in-law's love or lack thereof would be so obvious, and they certainly never expected that the seventh girl would look like this.
What's the deal with that faint golden lotus-shaped mark on her forehead?
When she first arrived, the child didn't look very well because of the long journey, her clothes didn't fit, and her thick bangs covered her forehead. I didn't even notice that there was a light golden lotus mark on her forehead.
When I first saw most of her face, I just thought she was a beauty in the making, but I never expected that after she dressed up properly, she would be the most beautiful among all the girls in the family.
The lotus mark, in particular, makes her even more divine; now she looks every bit the celestial child.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Yue Fuguang nodded secretly. Very good. Because they were not familiar with each other, no one suspected the changes in her.
This body was originally formed by inheriting the best features of its parents, making the explanation of it undergoing tribulations for the sake of becoming a deity more believable.
She began preparing from her appearance, first having the system imprint a six-petaled lotus mark on her forehead that was quite divine and would shimmer in the light.
If the system manifests in the future, it will be a seven-colored spirit pearl bearing a lotus mark.
Secondly, she exchanged a Marrow Cleansing Pill from the system these past few days. After taking it three times, she was cleansed of all the filth, and her complexion improved a lot. No wonder she looked so fair and ethereal!
"Alright, everyone's here, let's go." The old lady spoke, and the group of more than a dozen people got to work.
Upon arriving at the gate of the mansion, the old lady said, "Seventh girl, come with me in the same carriage."
She had just witnessed her third daughter-in-law's behavior and didn't want to further upset her granddaughter, who was already not close to them and whom she had just brought home.
We had no choice but to bring people with us first.
Yu Ningrou tugged at Sun's sleeve, and Sun understood and said, "Mother, no need. Let Seventh Girl and Sixth Girl sit with me. We can still have some time to get along."
The old lady glanced at Madam Sun suspiciously. As her grandmother, she was still a distant relative and couldn't stop the mother and daughter from getting along.
So he instructed her, "Seventh girl is still young, so please take good care of her."
The old lady hoped that her third daughter-in-law would be smarter this time and not make the same mistake again, otherwise, once she lost touch with her child, it would be difficult to win her back.
Yue Fuguang didn't care who she rode in the same carriage with, as long as she could get into the palace smoothly.
However, it's quite nice to sit with the mother and daughter from the third wife's family. They're showing off their mother-daughter bond there, and it won't disturb her chat with the system.
Moonlight closed his eyes, feigning sleep, but in his heart he was telling the system, "System, remember we are immortals, they are mortals. Below the immortals are all ants. Be distant from people and things."
My persona also includes being unpredictable and vindictive, unable to tolerate the slightest loss.
Only in this way can we avoid being easily manipulated.
Also, when I call you "System" or "All," it's our private chat time; when I call you "Little Bead" or "Boundary-Breaking Bead," it's my voice amplified.
[I know, I know, my persona is that of a loyal servant, a divine artifact, and the Boundary-Breaking Bead, possessing great power and being arrogant...]
The system went through the list and concluded that apart from being loyal to Yue Fuguang, he had no feelings for anyone or anything else!
At the palace gate, the Yu family members alighted from their carriages, and Madam Yu and Madam Yu immediately began chatting with the ladies of other families who had arrived shortly after.
"Oh, this must be your seventh daughter. She's so beautiful, like a fairy attendant in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Faced with such praise, Madam Yu smiled broadly.
Moonlight was also very happy, proving that her disguise was quite successful.
At least when she reveals her identity as an 'immortal,' people will have fewer doubts because of her appearance, and will be more likely to accept the idea of an immortal undergoing tribulations.
The group followed the palace maids and eunuchs to Guangning Palace, where banquets for major palace festivals and celebrations were usually held, simply because it was large enough.
Outside Guangning Hall is a large garden, which, although not as grand as the Imperial Garden, is still quite beautiful.
It's still autumn, and various osmanthus and chrysanthemums are in full bloom, not only fragrant but also very beautiful.
The ladies and young women liked to stroll around here before the banquet, since it was a very important place in the palace and they couldn't just wander around in other places.
Yue Fuguang followed behind Old Madam Yu and the others, watching them walk and stop to greet the ladies they knew. They hadn't stopped along the way, and Yue Fuguang felt tired just watching them.
Fortunately, once she reveals her 'true identity,' she shouldn't have to live the life of an ordinary noblewoman anymore.
The conversations between the old man and the ladies were nothing more than the kinds of topics that women love to talk about, such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation. The content of their conversations was perfectly safe.
We wouldn't discuss anything else here. Everyone in the inner palace is very cautious, afraid of saying the wrong thing and causing unnecessary trouble for themselves.
Sun's family was not prominent, and the ladies she knew were all wives and daughters of officials of the fourth or fifth rank.
When people saw Yue Fuguang, a stranger with an unfamiliar face behind her, who was already exceptionally tall despite her young age, they couldn't help but ask her a question.
Actually, everyone here is shrewd. Apart from the Seventh Miss who returned home a month ago, there is no one else who would follow her.
I heard that this seventh young lady was raised in a Taoist temple. Now it seems that the Taoist temple really knows how to raise children.
Look at the seventh young lady of the Yu family, she looks like a fairy. They say she's an adopted daughter, but did the Yu family adopt her because of her appearance?
If they have time, could they go to the outskirts of Beijing to see if there are any other girls who look like that?
Madam Zhu and Madam Sun, wives of Hanlin Academician Wu, greeted him and asked, "How has Madam Yu been lately? My master said that a new young lady has been born into the household. Is she the one behind you, Madam?"
Madam Sun said, "Indeed, this is my seventh young lady."
Then, looking at the moonlight, he said, "Little Seven, come here quickly and greet Madam Wu."
Yue Fuguang performed a standard curtsy, dignified and graceful, without the slightest hint of embarrassment. Madam Wu couldn't help but praise, "Madam is truly adept at teaching children. Seventh Miss has learned manners and etiquette so well."
She doesn't look like a little girl from a remote Taoist temple at all.
Madam Sun said, "Madam, you flatter me. When it comes to etiquette and manners, it has to be my Rou'er. Her manners and manners were personally taught by Granny Yu from the palace."
Yue Fuguang was speechless for a while. She had lost count of how many times today, when others praised her, Sun Shi would steer the conversation toward Yu Ningrou to garner more attention for her.
I wonder if Sun will regret her actions when she unleashes her big reveal, and how she will feel when she becomes the biggest laughing stock and a fool in the capital?
She was really looking forward to the banquet starting soon!
At this moment, Yue Fuguang was unaware that because of Sun's actions today and her subsequent revelations, Sun would later become synonymous with an unmarriageable wife.
Whenever someone was looking for a wife, they would tell the matchmaker, "It can't be someone like Madam Sun, the third wife of the Yu family." This became a common saying, something Yue Fuguang hadn't anticipated at the time.
