"The new wife is truly a model of a noble lady, a noble lady that everyone should look up to as a role model..."

There is a saying circulating in Shangjing.

Zhu Qingxu and Liu Pianran both have qualities that are admired by the world.

Two years later, Liu Pianran gave birth to another legitimate son, Zhu Yuanzheng, and the Wuding Marquis Mansion prospered.

The only flaw is the stupid, eccentric and violent eldest daughter Zhu Xianyue.

…

Although her biological mother passed away, her aunt became her legal mother and took good care of her. Zhu Xianyue should be grateful.

But she was stubborn.

Not only did she repeatedly offend her stepmother during family dinners or garden outings, she also openly scolded her younger sister Zhu Yulan for stealing her things and calling her a robber.

Unlike her, Zhu Yulan was brought up to be gentle and polite. She understood the manners and virtues of a woman at a young age, and was quite like the former wife of Marquis Wuding, Liu Qiuyi.

Everyone said that Zhu Xianyue didn't even look like Liu Qiuyi's biological daughter.

Whenever they heard such words, Liu Pianran and Zhu Yulan would defend Zhu Xianyue.

Liu Pianran: "Yue'er is not that kind of person, she is just... just... sigh..."

——But it would be better not to say this rebuttal, as it makes people wonder whether Zhu Xianyue was so arrogant and domineering in the Wuding Marquis Mansion.

Zhu Yulan: "Sister was very kind to me when she was in the mansion. She even gave me this red jadeite pearl hairpin..."

Zhu Yulan touched the hairpin stuck in her hair.

It would have been better if she didn't say anything, but when she saw the red jadeite beaded hairpin, Zhu Xianyue became even angrier.

"That's mine!"

She rushed over to get it back.

She really just wanted to get her hairpin back... because it was part of the dowry her biological mother left her.

But just as she walked over and her fingertips touched Zhu Yulan's hair, Zhu Yulan fell down.

“Ah…sister…it hurts…wuwuwu…”

"If you regret it and want to take it back, you can just tell me directly. Why are you pushing me?"

Zhu Yulan fell quite badly, and her arms under the gauze were bruised.

Our bodies and hair are given by our parents, let alone a young girl. If this scratch leaves a scar, it will ruin Zhu Yulan's life!

"I, I just wanted to get my hairpin back, I didn't mean to push you..." Zhu Xianyue's face turned pale.

Of course, she also knows the seriousness of this.

But at this moment, everyone was paying attention to Zhu Yulan who had fallen, and no one listened to her weak defense.

Even if I heard it, I wouldn't believe it.

…

Fortunately, Zhu Yulan was not seriously injured.

However, Zhu Xianyue committed a serious crime by pushing his sister, and it would be difficult to talk about marriage in the future.

No one in a prominent family would want to marry such an arrogant and domineering woman, even as a concubine.

Zhu Xianyue, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wuding and of noble status, became a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to kill.

This matter even spread to the palace.

When the Empress Dowager heard about this, she felt sorry for Zhu Yulan and decided to let her enter the palace.

Zhu Yulan had a good reputation and was the second daughter of the Marquis of Wuding. She was named a noble concubine three months after entering the palace.

Meanwhile, Zhu Xianyue was living in dire straits in the Marquis of Wuding's mansion...

…

After losing face in front of everyone that day.

After returning to the Wuding Marquis Mansion, he was immediately punished by his father Zhu Qingxu.

Zhu Xianyue knelt in the ancestral hall and was severely whipped by Zhu Qingxu's willow whip.

But she refused to admit her mistake.

"I didn't push her..."

"She stole that hairpin from me. I didn't give it to her..."

"I just want to take back what belongs to me..."

“Why doesn’t anyone believe me…”
