The Third Lady opened her mouth and had nothing to say. In addition to reputation, the second most important thing for a daughter is talent and appearance. Who doesn't want to have a slim figure? Jiang Ruohua said this, and it was indeed reasonable. The Third Lady couldn't stop her.
As a mother, she couldn't watch her child go hungry every day, otherwise there would inevitably be rumors of abuse. The Third Lady always weighed the balance between controlling Jiang Ruohua and managing her reputation outside, and she was exhausted. But she couldn't do it.
"Okay, okay." The Third Madam touched Jiang Ruohua's head. "Our Hua'er has her own ideas. Auntie is happy, but don't hurt yourself. As a daughter, you should be careful not to get hurt on your body and face."
Jiang Ruohua nodded in agreement. If the Third Madam wanted to monitor her, she could let her do it. After all, she was just exercising during the day. If she wanted to practice, she would go to her master at night. She wouldn't get hurt on her face. If she got hurt, it would be too easy for people to find out. She couldn't take care of her body. No one would get hurt when practicing martial arts. She didn't care. The
Third Madam's eyes were gentle. She told Jiang Ruohua earnestly that she would prepare a copy for Jiang Ruohua as well as for her daughter. Looking at the exquisite and wonderful jewelry, Jiang Ruohua sneered in her heart.
Although she was not greedy for jewelry, she was a little upset that Jiang Ruoting took away half of the good things she got from her mother's dowry. One of them alone was more than the monthly allowance of the eldest daughter in the mansion. And the Third Madam always took out such good things "unsparingly" every now and then, and "generously" gave half to other children, saying that they were all children raised by her, and there was no difference.
"Thank you, mother." At this time, Jiang Ruoting always stood aside and "generously" gave her mother to others.
Jiang Ruohua smiled. The mother and daughter were really good at acting. She snuggled in the Third Madam's arms and said, "Auntie is the best to me!"
"By the way, Auntie." Jiang Ruohua changed the subject calmly, "If Princess Shangyang invites me to the palace in a few days, what should I prepare? Please help me take a look!"
She threw the trouble directly to the Third Madam. Jiang Ruohua coquettishly pulled her arm and begged her that since the Third Madam liked to use the money left by her mother to buy things for herself, she might as well worry about more things for herself.
After all, it was to be presented to Princess Shangyang, so it must not be sloppy. Moreover, the Empress would probably see it. If it was ordinary supplements, it would seem too casual. If it was something hidden in the bottom of the box, it would seem too flattering. If it was just something that common girls like, Princess Shangyang would not lack it. Jiang Ruohua looked at the Third Madam pitifully: "Auntie, please!"
The Third Madam didn't want to, but Jiang Ruohua entered the palace and represented the face of the Jiang family. If she made a fool of herself, it would affect all the girls in the Jiang family. She had to grit her teeth and said: "Okay, Auntie, help you."
This little bitch!
She had to take on this trouble again!
He racked his brains to think about how to save face and make Jiang Ruhua displease the princess, but after thinking for a long time, he felt that his efforts were in the wrong place. It would be a waste of effort to get entangled in that little thing. It would be better to think about whether to find a marriage for this girl. However, he could not be anxious at the moment, and he could not let this little bitch see any clues!
After all, marriage is the easiest thing to tie this girl down. How can a little bitch who has not experienced much of the world know what will happen after getting married? Wouldn't it be the same as before? This little bitch would do whatever he said?
Jiang Ruohua took two maids and left the Third Madam's yard, and turned to go to Aunt Yuan. After some concern, Jiang Ruohua punished a maid who was delivering things to Aunt Yuan. She was obviously careless and careless. The majesty of the eldest lady of the Jiang family was here, and she killed one to warn the rest, which immediately calmed down the whole of Aunt Yuan
's yard. At the same time, she personally checked the things prepared for Aunt Yuan, and asked Yinqiu to check every day, which cut off the opportunity for some people with bad intentions to act.
Aunt Yuan no longer concealed it, her belly was getting rounder and rounder, and she was happy every day. She no longer hid that she was pregnant with a boy, but this was a thorn in the eyes of the Third House. Now Jiang Ruohua protected her well, and the Third Madam allowed it herself. Others could only look at Aunt Yuan's belly and grit their teeth.
"Miss, Princess Shangyang appreciates you very much. Is it really okay to hand that matter over to the Third Madam?" Hua Chan was a little worried.
"She will not let the Jiang family lose face." Jiang Ruohua was not worried at all. The Third Madam was not stupid. Jiang Ruohua knew all the calculations in her mind. She was thinking about her face and how to ruin herself. She kept trying to balance. It would be best if Jiang Ruoting could take everything from her in the end. How could she mess up the overall situation because of her current unhappiness?
And this is what she wanted, to add some pressure to the Third Madam, and not to do everything too obvious or too excessive. The Third Madam could boil her in her dreams, so why can't she do the opposite now?
Treat others in their own way!
Hua Chan nodded: "Miss, do you need to prepare anything extra for Princess Shangyang?"
"No."
Jiang Ruohua didn't have this idea at all. Although she knew what Princess Shangyang liked, she was a princess, so what could she not have? If she brought her favorite things right away, wouldn't she be suspected of secretly snooping around?
It would be best if Princess Shangyang told her in person what she liked, and then prepare it for her the second time, so that it would seem natural.
Seeing Hua Chan's confusion, she reached out and flicked Hua Chan, chuckling: "Silly, deliberately trying to please someone is different from sincerely caring about her."
There are so many people who want to please Princess Shangyang, and almost every day there are people who inquire about the princess's preferences and present her with things she likes, but what's the use?
Born in the deep palace, Princess Shangyang has probably seen too many such tactics. It is difficult for those who actively try to please others to be sincere. Princess Shangyang sees everything clearly. What she needs is not flattery, but a friend who can truly put himself in her shoes and think for her.
So she followed the routine, doing boxing in the morning to stretch her muscles, putting some pressure on the third wife, taking care of Aunt Yuan's body, getting familiar with the current fashion among the noble ladies in the afternoon, practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and going to the kitchen in the evening to get some exquisite snacks. I only felt that the chef's cooking skills were getting better and better. I chose some sweet and delicious but not choking buns, and after dinner, it was almost time.
After changing into night clothes and chatting with grandpa for a while, she left the Duke's Mansion while most people were resting. Xu Weiqing had indeed been waiting for a long time. Hu Xingxing must have been following him the whole time. When she arrived, she saw the little girl lying on the ground after being beaten.
