After Liu Ziqi coaxed Tao Ge'er to play for a while, seeing that it was almost time, he asked the maid Cuizhu to take Tao Ge'er back to Madam Liu's courtyard. He went next door to pick up Yu Jiao and took her to the old lady's Baoshou Hall.

There were already quite a few people in Baoshou Hall, filling the entire room. When Yu Jiao came in, the chattering in the room quieted down. Yu Jiao and Liu Ziqi bowed to the old lady. The old lady stood up, smiled, helped Yu Jiao up, and introduced her to the people in the room, "This is the third girl from our mansion."

The wives of Yu Jiao's family, whom she did not recognize, praised her in unison, "The third girl is so pretty. Look at her demeanor. She must be our child!"

"Finally she's found. The third girl has suffered a lot out there these years."

The old lady took Yu Jiao's hand and introduced the women present to her one by one. Yu Jiao smiled and called people. Her attitude was graceful and she did not show any timidity. Old Lady Liu was very satisfied.

She then turned to a woman wearing a red satin jacket sitting on a chair and introduced her to Yu Jiao, "This is the wife of the Marquis of Annan."

Yu Jiao saw that she had an imposing manner and a heroic look between her eyebrows, which was quite different from the other ladies in the room. Thinking of Gu Yun's father, the Marquis of Annan, who had been stationed in Lingnan and fought in wars for many years, the Marquis of Annan's wife was considered a military family member, and was naturally different from ordinary women in the inner house.

She bowed and greeted the wife of Marquis Annan.

The wife of the Marquis of Annan hurriedly supported her hand and said with a friendly smile, "Don't be so formal. Gu Yun told me earlier that he had seen you in Qingzhou, and I liked you very much. When you have time in the future, come to the mansion often to chat with me."

The other people in the room couldn't help but be thoughtful after hearing what the wife of Marquis Annan said. The wife of Marquis Annan has been living in seclusion for many years. Even if someone invites her, she rarely goes to other people's houses. Originally, when everyone saw her in the room, they just thought that it was because Gu Yun was on good terms with the eldest son of the Liu family that the wife of Marquis Annan gave her this favor and condescended to come.

But if you think deeply about the meaning of these words, could it be that the wife of Marquis Annan has taken a fancy to the third girl that the Liu family has just found? The young Marquis Gu has also reached the age to get married. Although he is known for being a playboy and a vicious person, and often beats up the children of aristocratic families, he is not like the Prince Qin of the Jingyuan Earl's Mansion, who attracts many women and is promiscuous.

What's more, Marquis Annan has only one son, and Gu Yun will inherit the title in the future. He is handsome and has been in the army for many years. His bravery and heroic spirit have attracted many girls. Many families in the capital want to marry into the Marquis Annan's family.

Although the family of Liu Ge Lao was not inferior to the Annan Marquis Mansion, the third girl of the Liu family had been living outside since she was young. She was not a proper young lady who was carefully brought up in the mansion. For a while, everyone in the room had different thoughts.

Yu Jiao seemed unaware and just responded to Mrs. Annan's words with a faint smile. She then listened to the old lady introducing several ladies sitting next to Mrs. Annan. Yu Jiao bowed and greeted them one by one.

When it was the turn of one of the ladies, Mrs. Shen, Yu Jiao was slightly startled when she saw the young girl standing next to her. It was Shen Wan. She then remembered that Shen Wan's father was a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, so it was normal for her to appear in the Liu Mansion today.

The surprise on Shen Guan's face was no less than Yu Jiao's. She opened her eyes wide in shock when Yu Jiao entered the room. If it wasn't inappropriate, she would have wanted to go up to Yu Jiao and ask her how she suddenly became the third lady of the Liu family.
