"Miss, Madam wants you to come to Anhua Courtyard." A maid came over.

Li Jiaojiao quickly got up and left with the maid.

Before long, they arrived at Anhua Academy.

The Duchess of Pingguo, dressed in luxurious clothes, sat on a long couch, with a row of maids standing below her, holding various fabrics and jewelry in their hands.

As soon as Li Jiaojiao entered, the Duchess of Pingguo smiled and said, "Jiaojiao, you've finally arrived."

“Mother.” Li Jiaojiao sat down beside her affectionately.

Lady Pingguo held her little hand and said, "In another half month, it will be the sixtieth birthday of the old lady of the Marquis of Dingguo. You will come with me then."

"Really?" Li Jiaojiao was overjoyed. The unpleasantness caused by Gu Han just now disappeared immediately. This was her first time appearing in front of all the nobles!

"Here are some clothes, take a look and see which one you like. We'll also add some jewelry and headwear, so that our Jiaojiao will look beautiful."

As she spoke, the Duchess of Pingguo affectionately patted Li Jiaojiao's delicate face.

Standing to the side, Granny Yu was utterly speechless.

The lady never interacted with ordinary people, nor did she take her servants seriously.

Moreover, the lady had two sons and two daughters; she did have daughters as well.

When the lady lost something, the whole household was searching for it. Li Jiaojiao found it; that was her duty.

Even if he was happy, a reward of ten or eight taels would have been enough. How could he suddenly gain the favor of the lady, who not only took him in as her goddaughter but also doted on him to the extreme?

She really couldn't see what was so charming about Li Jiaojiao.

Lady Pingguo pulled Li Jiaojiao to pick out fabric, and finally chose a peach-colored one, followed by matching jewelry.

Li Jiaojiao stared blankly at the Duchess of Pingguo, who was busy serving her: "Mother, why...why are you so good to me?"

Lady Pingguo was taken aback, then smiled gently and kindly: "I don't know either. Anyway, I liked you so much the moment I saw you. It must be because Jiaojiao is a special person!"

Li Jiaojiao was taken aback. A special person?

She had always believed this, ever since her rebirth...

Thinking about it, Li Jiaojiao was a little dazed. In the past year, she had experienced too much. It seemed that she had been constantly hit, tormented, and manipulated!

She had almost forgotten that she was a reborn person!

Yes, she was reborn! That's what makes her different from others; she's special!

I still remember when she was first reborn, she was fearless and rampaged through the Sun family, but later...

Thinking about it, Li Jiaojiao trembled: "I used to think I was special, that I was invincible, and that my life was good. But then...we moved to another place, and then all sorts of disasters happened...my parents died...sob..."

The Duchess exclaimed in surprise, “Oh dear... how could you all be so careless? All sorts of disasters have occurred since we moved; it must be bad feng shui!”

Li Jiaojiao was stunned: "Is it because of bad feng shui?"

The Duchess pulled her to sit on the long couch: "Of course! Otherwise, if things had been going smoothly for you, and then suddenly things went wrong, wouldn't that be bad feng shui? Look, now that you've left that place and come to the capital, good fortune has immediately come your way!"

Li Jiaojiao suddenly understood after hearing these words!

For a while, she was shrouded in gloom, as if a giant net was covering her, making her feel suppressed and bound.

Now that she's left Lijia Village, her luck has returned!

Her intuition was right; she was indeed a person with great fortune! Otherwise, how could she have been reborn!

It's all because Li Family Village is cursed against her! Or rather, it's because Li Zhiyuan is cursed against her!

Thinking about it, she gritted her teeth, making a grinding sound. She would rather die than let her mother marry Li Zhiyuan!

He got himself imprisoned for nothing, leaving a stain on his record.

No, she'll have to find a Taoist priest or a monk to tell her fortune later!

The Duchess said, "Alright, the bad days are over. From now on, my Jiaojiao can just enjoy life."

Li Jiaojiao nodded, both moved and delighted: "Being able to be my mother's daughter is my blessing."

"Quickly, pick out a nice set of jewelry. My Jiaojiao is so adorable, she's sure to win over Old Madam Shen. Old Madam Shen's three grandsons aren't married yet!"

Granny Yu choked.

Li Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, but she also had some questions in her mind.

She is now a young lady of the Duke's mansion.

These past few days she has been focusing on learning etiquette, knowing that a duke's mansion is a level above a marquis's mansion.

My mother is the Duchess of the State, so why should a young lady from a noble family like her be favored by an old lady from a Marquis's family?

Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

Shouldn't it be the old lady of the Marquis's mansion who is currying favor with them?

It seems that it's only because she's an adopted daughter that she's looked down upon.

But she is, after all, a daughter of a duke. If the duke's mansion puts in a little effort, it should be possible for her to become the wife of the heir of the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion, right?

At this moment, a maid came in and said, "Madam, the head steward has delivered the accounts and is waiting for you in the outer hall."

"Alright, coming right away. You all help Miss San try on her new clothes!"

After instructing the maid, he patted Li Jiaojiao's hand and then turned and left with Granny Yu.

Li Jiaojiao happily opened her arms, allowing the maids to help her change her clothes.

At that moment, she finally understood what it meant to be waited on hand and foot.

The life of a noble lady is so blissful. Li Jiaojiao deserves this kind of wealthy life surrounded by servants.

......

The Duchess led Granny Yu out of the courtyard and headed towards the main hall.

Granny Yu frowned and said, "Madam... that Marquis of Dingguo's mansion is not to be trifled with... the Third Miss is just an adopted daughter and a maid. If we let her marry into the Shen family, I'm afraid they'll think we're disrespecting them."
