Jing Jing'er was very dissatisfied because her request to buy clothes and jewelry from Liuxian Pavilion was rejected.

Although my aunt had no dowry, she had embezzled a lot of money from the public treasury over the years. She wanted to leave all the money to my second brother and was reluctant to spend it on herself.

She stayed in the room sulking for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. How could a peasant girl dress better than herself, the daughter of a marquis? If she had been sensible, she should have given it to herself.

When they arrived at Ran's yard, the servant said that Ran was tired and was resting.

Jing Jing'er said she was looking for Miss Danruo.

The servant brought the person to Danruo's room and went to inform Ran.

When Jing Jing'er saw Dan Ruo's expression, she was surprised and jealousy appeared in her eyes.

There is such a smart girl in the mountains. Looking at the room full of gold and jade ornaments, her stepmother is reluctant to give her even a single good thing.

She stepped forward and took Danruo's hand on her own initiative, thinking she had adjusted her expression and put on a gentle smile, but she didn't know it was very ferocious:

"You are the future sister-in-law that my eldest brother brought back. I am the third daughter of the family. You should give me some of your things. This is the normal rule of a wealthy family."

After saying that, he opened Danruo's wardrobe and took out what he liked.

Dan Ruo's clear and crisp voice spread far away:

"Catch the thief."

The servants guarding the door came rushing over, and Ran, who had just fallen asleep and was woken up, also rushed over.

Jing Jing'er's face turned ugly. She didn't expect that this peasant girl would have such a personality. Shouldn't she have married into the Marquis's Mansion from the lower class, be very cowardly and inferior, and accept everything that comes her way?

Ran's face was as black as ink, and he rebuked coldly:

"Jing Jing'er, what are you doing? Are you running into my stepmother's yard to commit thieves?"

Jing Jing'er argued: "I'm not."

But she was still holding two pieces of Danruo's clothes in her hands.

Jing Jinger looked at Dan Ruo angrily and turned the tables:

"Didn't you give it to my sister?"

Before she came in just now, she had dismissed all the servants. Only she and the new peasant girl were in the house, and there was no way to verify their conversation. Even if Ran helped the peasant girl, she still had her aunt and father, so she was not afraid.

Dan Ruo was not afraid at all of her distortion of right and wrong, because Jing Ruchen was in the house just now.

When Jing Ruchen heard Jing Jing'er breaking in, he hid in the dark inner room, intending to wait for Jing Jing'er to leave before coming out. Unexpectedly, he became a witness.

After Jing Ruchen exposed Jing Jing'er's lies, she broke down and cried, pointing at Dan Ruo:

"How dare you, a man and a woman, be together in a room in broad daylight?"

Dan Ruo mercilessly knocked away the hand she pointed at him:

"We've already been married, and we haven't done anything in the house in broad daylight. Aren't you just stealing in broad daylight? Taking something without asking is stealing. Third Miss, as a noble lady of the Marquisate, actually acted like this. I'm afraid the reputation of the Marquisate has been ruined by Third Miss."

Jing Jing'er touched her red arm and tears came out of her eyes due to the pain. She was undoubtedly a peasant girl. How could she be so strong?

Ran directly asked the maid to take Jing Jing'er back to her own courtyard, and punished her by making her copy the family rules a hundred times and confining her to her house for three months.

It was too late for Aunt Sun to get the news. How could her daughter be so short-sighted that she would even care about a few pieces of clothes and jewelry?

It happened that Marquis Jing'en came back from the farm and learned what happened at the gate yesterday. He came to find Aunt Sun with a rage.

When Aunt Sun heard the news, she changed into the white dress she wore when she first met Marquis Jing'en and sat in front of the window. No matter how angry Marquis Jing'en was, it turned into a sigh.

He walked forward and embraced Aunt Sun, lost in memories of the past: "As soon as my cousin entered the mansion, I had no eyes for anyone else."

Aunt Sun cried bitterly:

"My cousin already had Ran at the time, but Qing'er fell in love with him and became his concubine. I've suffered all my life without complaint or regret, but I feel sorry for my two children. Now that Jing Ruchen has been injured, can't I still make some plans for Sheng Wen?"

Marquis Jing'en was filled with guilt. He also wanted to give the title to Sheng Wen, but Jing Ruchen was too capable. As the patriarch, he naturally had more considerations.

But just like Aunt Sun said, Jing Ruchen has now damaged his masculinity. Even if the child is eventually adopted by Sheng Wen, why not let Sheng Wen inherit the title directly?

Seeing that Marquis Jing'en had softened his attitude, Aunt Sun became even more obsessed with him, and the two of them returned to their former sweet love.

The next morning, Aunt Sun mentioned Jing Jing'er's matter again. Not only was her house arrest lifted, but Marquis Jing'en also allocated money from the public treasury to dress Jing Jing'er up.

He even went to find Ran in person and asked her to bring Jing Jing'er to the prince's banquet and to protect Jing Jing'er and Jing Shengwen.

After Marquis Jing'en left, Nanny Yu looked at Ran with heartache, and Ran wiped away her tears.

I comforted myself in my heart: "There's nothing to be sad about. As long as Jing Ruchen is well, those people won't be able to cause any trouble."

Ran just felt guilty that her daughter-in-law had a miserable life with her, so she took out the most precious ruby ​​headpiece from the bottom of her dowry and gave it to Nanny Yu and Danruo.

At the same time, Nanny Yu was arranged to teach Danruo some etiquette and manners for attending banquets.

After Yu Ma came back, she praised Dan Ruo for his intelligence and said he understood things immediately.

Ran thought she was just trying to cheer her up, but when they got to the banquet, she saw Dan Ruo's demeanor, which seemed like that of a natural noble lady.

Even the Crown Princess praised Dan Ruo's smooth and pleasing manner of etiquette, and gave her a special reward so that the women around her would not dare to look down on Dan Ruo.

Ying Nianrong had almost picked all the flowers in her hand.

She was originally a performing girl who fled with her parents. When she was six years old, she was seen by the old lady of the Duke of Ying who went up the mountain to worship Buddha. Because she looked very much like the old lady's little daughter who was abducted in her early years, the old lady was quite moved and immediately took her back to the Duke of Ying's Mansion and adopted her as her daughter.

She tried hard to play the role of the funny guy to please the old lady, and looked no different from the other girls in the mansion.

The difference only became apparent when it came to marriage. The daughters of the Duke of Ying all married well, but her target was some Juren, or minor officials, or the sons of nobles and concubines.

She was unwilling and found various excuses to avoid it. Now she is eighteen years old, and the old lady of the Duke of Ying is getting anxious. She told her not to be so picky anymore.

When the wife of Marquis Jing'en came to her, she considered it carefully and decided that it was a good marriage.

As the legitimate mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, even though Jing Ruchen is not humane, it doesn't matter, as long as she has power and status, if that doesn't work, she can secretly keep a lover.

But all this was interrupted by a country girl who came to disrupt the process.

Today, the old lady of the Duke of Ying was not in good health and did not come, so she was brought here by the eldest lady. But the eldest lady was chatting with that country girl, so she couldn't save face.

Jing Jing'er came up to Ying Nianrong and said, "Sister Nianrong, I heard that you are very good at pitching pots. Can you compete with my future sister-in-law later? Let me see Sister Nianrong's style."

Ying Nianrong looked at Jing Jing'er meaningfully, an ally who came to her doorstep.

Jing Jing'er concealed her panic and decided to complete her aunt's instructions today.
