Over the years, her mother has been in charge of all matters in the mansion, and her father has doted on her so much that she has long forgotten the status of a concubine's daughter.

Because she was loved by her father and her mother was the housekeeper, the servants in the mansion dared not neglect her. Since she was a child, she was treated better than her elder sister Xu Jinyi.

Moreover, her father had no other concubines except her mother in these years, so she always called her mother mother in the mansion.

In the past, Xu Jinyi was weak and never cared about these things, but I didn’t expect him to be so arrogant now.

But this was also outside. It was not until the two of them squatted until sweat broke out on their foreheads that Xu Jinyi slowly spoke, "You must learn the rules from now on. Acting like you will bring shame to the Marquisate."

"If I didn't know, when I heard you guys calling me that, I would have thought that Daddy had already made you, Aunt Wang, his wife?"

"If this gets out, wouldn't it be forcing Dad?"

Aunt Wang's face turned pale. As the Marquis's wife, she naturally knew that the Marquis was the one who cared most about face.

If there were such a rumor outside, the Marquis would definitely think that she spread it deliberately in order to force him to make her his legal wife.

Although they usually call each other that way, they never felt there was anything wrong with it.

It seems that I have to be careful in the future. Now that Xu Jinyi is back, it is inevitable that she will spread the news, which will cause a rift between her and the master.

"I will pay attention to this in the future. Thank you for the reminder, Miss."

"Just remember your duties. Don't forget the rules just because your father dotes on you. Giving you some respect in the mansion doesn't mean you'll become complacent or arrogant."

"If you cause any trouble to the Marquis' Mansion, I will not forgive you. Go to the ancestral hall and kneel before me for three hours before you can get up. This will teach you a lesson."

"Get up."

Xu Jinyi's voice was calm and didn't sound harsh, but Aunt Wang could sense her change.

In the past, Xu Jinyi didn't care about these things. Over the years, she had made many small moves, but Xu Jinyi had never been like this today.

What's more, this lecture really sounded like scolding a maid. How could she dare!

He actually dared to treat her and her daughter as slaves. Every word he said reminded her that she was just a lowly concubine. It was very heartbreaking.

However, Aunt Wang, who had lived for many years, could tolerate Xu Jinyi's words, but Xu Jin'er could not.

She stood up excitedly, clenched her fists, and said in a sharp voice: "Why do you make us kneel? Do you really think you are the legitimate daughter of the Marquis' Mansion? If Dad loved you, how could he let you fend for yourself in the manor for three years?"

"My mother is your elder. You asked her to bow to you, and you dared to accept it!" Xu Jin'er became more and more angry. She pointed her index finger at Xu Jinyi and trembled all over.

“Pah.”

Xu Jinyi slapped her hard without any hesitation, feeling very happy.

"You dare to hit me, Xu Jinyi, you bitch..." Xu Jin'er's face turned red and her teeth chattered like an enraged lion.

The sound of slapping rang out again, and this time it was Aunt Xu who did it. "You are not allowed to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children. You dare to offend the eldest lady?"

Aunt Wang was confused and didn't understand how things turned out like this. She was clearly planning to bring her servants out today to give Xu Jinyi a warning.

But now it is clearly the other way around.

If she were in the mansion, she would really dare to let someone fight back, but how could she do that outside.

Otherwise, how can we maintain the weakness that has been operating for so many years?

And this time, Xu Jinyi actually asked the six guards to stand behind her.

Even if they take action, they will not get any benefits.

Those six guards were gifts from her maternal grandparents. They were all top-notch masters and could not be defeated by ordinary guards.

In the past, these guards were always hiding in the dark, and Xu Jinyi had never called them out.

Her maternal grandfather's family was a powerful general stationed on the frontier. Because it was far from the capital, they specially left guards.

She has always known about the existence of these guards, so she didn't dare to target Xu Jinyi too harshly over the years.

Seeing that someone was starting to pay attention to this side, Aunt Wang hurriedly pulled Xu Jin'er to kneel down.

"It is my fault for not disciplining him properly. I beg you to show some mercy, Miss. I will definitely discipline him strictly when I return."

"Mom, why are you begging her? She's not favored..."

Aunt Wang saw someone starting to walk towards this side, and quickly covered her mouth, shedding tears to show her weakness.

If people knew what just happened, it would probably bring disaster to the Marquis.

Under Xu Jin'er's sad and angry gaze, Xu Jinyi spoke again: "As expected, he is from a small place. Even his daughter is so uneducated."

"How dare a concubine's daughter contradict her elder sister like this? She has no respect for superiors or inferiors, and has no respect for rules. This is simply treasonous."

The people around nodded in understanding and pointed at the mother and daughter.

I had heard before how glorious and favored Concubine Wang was in the Marquis's mansion, and how the Marquis even pushed away his legitimate daughter for his concubine's daughter.

I have also heard that this concubine's daughter calls her aunt mother, but these things have not been confirmed. I didn't expect them to be true.

From the moment Xu Jinyi opened her mouth, Aunt Wang secretly felt that something was wrong.

Now seeing these people pointing and talking, Aunt Wang felt even more dizzy.

It’s over!

It’s over!

If these words were to get out, the Marquis would probably be furious when he returned.

Xu Jin'er didn't care what others said. She only cared about how others praised Xu Jinyi's beauty.

Now her heart and eyes were filled with jealousy.

This is just the beginning, Xu Jiner, can't you stand it?

Then, Xu Jinyi continued, "When the legitimate daughter returned home, Aunt Wang was here to greet her. You, a lowly concubine, left through the side door, but you didn't even open the middle door. Could it be that I, the legitimate daughter, am not worthy of going through the middle door?"

A row of servants behind Aunt Wang hurried to open the door.

These servants were used to changing their attitudes according to the situation. Seeing Xu Jinyi's domineering look, they dared not neglect him.

It can be said that just now those beauties did not believe that this concubine had the guts to bully the legitimate daughter, but now they followed Xu Jinyi's words and took a look.

really.

Even the middle door is not open. In a family, if the legitimate daughter cannot go through the middle door, then who can go through the middle door?

Is it possible that the Marquis can leave alone? This concubine Wang is too bold.

As usual, the two of them would definitely not go to the ancestral hall to kneel as Xu Jinyi said after they entered the door.

But Aunt Wang knew that the Marquis might hear the discussions after leaving court today, so they had to kneel.

This way, when the Marquis returns, his anger won't be directed at them.

"Mom, it's all your fault. Why did you let Xu Jinyi come back? Look at how charming she is. I'm almost outshined by her."

"Look at how arrogant she is today. If she marries some high-ranking official, will there be room for us mother and daughter in the mansion in the future?"

Xu Jin'er was so anxious that she wanted Xu Jinyi to disappear immediately.
