Chapter 231

"That's because our Marquis... to put it bluntly, he's just a spoiled brat who lives off his family fortune. He only started to have some ambition after he got married."

"Later, it was only after the young master proved himself that the family started to look presentable."

Yunxi suddenly realized.

That's not surprising.

At this moment, Jixiang finished tying up Yunxi's hair, and the three of them got up and went to the next courtyard to watch the excitement.

——

Several more days passed.

That afternoon, news came from the front yard that guests had arrived.

Yun Wan didn't take it seriously, so she didn't dress up specially and just went straight there.

Outside, a magnificent carriage, though worn and faded from days of travel, stood. A pretty young girl in a pink dress stood beside it, her posture unsteady. A woman stood nearby, directing people to move luggage.

The woman was dressed in fine clothes and adorned with jewels, but her posture of standing with her hands on her hips and shouting was really out of place with her attire.

Seeing Yun Wan approach, the woman raised an eyebrow: "So you're the young mistress of this Marquis's mansion?"

As she spoke, the woman's eyes swept over Yun Wan, and she said disdainfully, "She looks just so-so!"

Yun Wan scoffed inwardly.

This person doesn't even look at himself; he acts like a vulgar shrew and looks down on her.

Yun Wan didn't even bother to get angry at this kind of person: "The courtyard has been arranged, please come in, Madam."

Luo looked up and hummed in agreement, then turned to call Yao Susu. The mother and daughter followed Yun Wan into the backyard.

Although the Marquis's mansion's backyard was very well maintained, the mother and daughter were not unsophisticated people, and they didn't glance at each other once along the way.

Upon arriving at Huicao Hall, Madam Luo looked at the plaque above the door with displeasure; "How can this courtyard be named after grass? It's so despicable!"

Yun Wan glanced at her: "The fragrant grass is known as the gentleman among grasses, how can you say it's derogatory?"

Ignorant.

"Even a gentleman is still grass!" Madam Luo glared. "You're just a junior. If you see that your elders are not satisfied, why don't you hurry up and get things done? What are you arguing with me about?!"

Luo's attitude clearly indicated that she was treating Yun Wan as a servant to be ordered around at will.

Just as Yun Wan was about to lash out, Yao Susu, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Mother, we've been traveling for so many days, I'm exhausted even if you're not! Can you let me go inside and rest first?"

Her tone was full of impatience.

The arrogant Luo Shi who had been so haughty just moments before vanished completely upon hearing her speak: "Alright, alright, let's go back and rest first!"

After saying this, Madam Luo led Yao Susu into the courtyard, and the servants followed closely behind.

Then, with a "snap," the courtyard gate was slammed shut right in front of Yun Wan.

“…” Yun Wan took a deep breath.

Don't get angry, don't get angry, anger will only make you sick and no one can take your place.

However, she finally understood why Madam Zheng disliked these two.

Yun Wan tilted her head and glanced at Ji Baiju not far away, a smile playing on her lips.

This mother and daughter are both incredibly difficult to deal with. They don't even respect her, the proper young mistress, let alone a mere concubine.

Now that's great! While they're fighting like dogs, she can just sit quietly in Liuyun Garden and watch the show!
