"Okay, don't say that anymore." Jiang Ruohua blew on the still hot porridge while eating breakfast, "Don't be busy, both of you, go eat."

"Miss..."

Yinqiu and Huachan were both stunned, but when they saw Jiang Ruohua nodded and waved to let them go, they didn't insist. Normally, they had to wait for the master to eat before they could eat. She

left with some worries, and Jiang Ruohua accelerated the speed of eating. She called the maids to eat early, because she had something to do next. If, as she guessed, they were full, someone would come to her.

Since the possibility exists, she will be fully prepared. She quickly wiped the food on the table, wiped her mouth silently, tidied her clothes, took the things she bought yesterday to the table and opened them. They were

all finely crafted jewelry. After going to the opera, she and Liu Xiyun went to several other jewelry shops to have a look. Although they were not as precious as the things in Qianzhen Pavilion, they were all top-notch goods in the store, and the ones sold to her were not cut corners at all.

"Why are you here, Second Miss? I'll go and tell them."

"No need, is the eldest sister awake?"

A familiar voice sounded outside, Jiang Ruohua raised her lips and smiled: "Is it the second sister? I'm awake, come in quickly!"

Isn't the person she was waiting for here?

Jiang Ruoting walked in with her maid smiling. When she saw the things on the table, she was surprised: "Why did you buy so many jewelries?"

"After I bought some things for the manor yesterday, I thought it was still early, so I went to buy some jewelries with Sister Liu. Second sister, please sit down!" Jiang Ruohua pulled her to sit down, took out one of the butterfly hairpins and put it on her hair. "I think it looks pretty, so I bought it to share with you."

Then she said to the little girl next to her: "Go, invite the other sisters. I bought a lot of jewels, so it's better for all the sisters to share them together."

The little girl agreed. Jiang Ruoting was still a little unresponsive when Jiang Ruohua took a mirror and said with a smile, "Second sister, take a look. I'll tell Sister Liu that this one will definitely suit you. Your dress has many butterflies embroidered on it. This hairpin is the most suitable for you! Do you like it?"

Jiang Ruoting glanced at herself in the mirror. She didn't care about hair accessories. Her mother told her that when she succeeded, everything that belonged to Jiang Ruohua would be hers.

But she never thought that Jiang Ruohua would bypass her and go out to play with Liu Xiyun yesterday. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench her fingers in her sleeves. It took her a lot of effort to get familiar with them. Why would Jiang Ruohua do this just because she met them once?

"It looks good." Jiang Ruoting suppressed her unhappiness and couldn't help saying, "Why did elder sister think of asking sister Liu to go out together yesterday? I didn't even know about this." She

really couldn't hold back any longer.

Jiang Ruohua pretended to be defenseless, with a pair of eyes flashing with innocence: "I originally sent a letter to invite Sister Liu and the others to visit the manor. Sister Liu learned from the servants that I was going out yesterday, so she replied to the letter saying that she was bored at home and wanted to go out for a walk."

"I originally wanted to invite the second sister, but suddenly I remembered that the teacher was going to check the second sister's homework yesterday, so I gave up." Jiang Ruohua reached out and took Jiang Ruoting's hand, "Good sister, as a sister, I don't mean to leave you behind, but auntie has been worried about your homework. It was not good to ask you to go out yesterday. Why don't we go out together next time?"

Jiang Ruohua thought that Jiang Ruoting's slightly uncontrollable sour face was the disappointment of not going out to play. The more she knew that Jiang Ruoting was jealous, the less she said that.

How could she make Jiang Ruoting feel good, right?

"By the way, the theater I went to yesterday with sister Liu was really good at singing. When second sister is free, let's go to see a play!" Jiang Ruohua pulled her and said, "Don't be angry, okay? Sister has bought a lot of things to make up for you! Second sister, just take the ones you like!"

But the more she said this, the less happy Jiang Ruoting was. In order to fit in with this group of noble ladies with good character, she had sent invitations again and again and tried her best to ensure her perfection. It took her so much effort to fit in with them. Why did Liu Xiyun take the initiative to ask her out as soon as Jiang Ruohua came?

There is jealousy in friendship as well. Jiang Ruoting, who has always been in the center of the crowd, suddenly lost the pursuit and attention of this group of people. How could she accept such a gap?

"Big sister, you are joking. How can I be angry?" After enduring for a long time, Jiang Ruoting smiled and reached out to touch the hairpin on her head. However, she had the illusion that she and Jiang Ruohua had switched positions.

In the past, she was the one who took all kinds of things and balanced between people. But without the constraints of the engagement, Jiang Ruohua did it much easier than her!

Sure enough, no matter how close they are, they still can't compare to family background.

Jealousy made Jiang Ruoting feel pain and hatred in her heart. Xie Shuyan and Liu Xiyun were either from famous families or their fathers and brothers held important positions in the court. In Beijing, they were the ladies of the family with excellent character and reputation. Jiang Ruohua had no idea how much effort she had put in to make friends with this group of people. How could they take away everything from her so easily!

Why did Jiang Ruohua, who was born as the legitimate granddaughter of her grandfather, the daughter of a real Duke's mansion, and the daughter of a first-rank general, and she had nothing to show for herself, now, she was going to snatch away her friends and reputation that she had worked so hard to build?

Young ladies of good family backgrounds in Beijing would often attend banquets of other families with their elders. Their performance would be noticed by the ladies at this time. The ladies knew who they were close to and what kind of character they had. This was the best opportunity to gain reputation.

If a young lady wanted to get a compliment from a respected lady, praising her for being well-educated, gentle and modest, she would definitely rise to prominence. You must know that when other families choose wives for their sons, in addition to family background, the most important thing they value is character.

Jiang Ruoting doesn't want to lose everything she has now, and she doesn't want to just give it to Jiang Ruohua!

After all, it's all Jiang Ruohua's fault. If Jiang Ruohua hadn't been born in this world, she wouldn't be in such a dilemma, and she wouldn't be in the current situation where she can't advance or retreat!

Without Jiang Ruohua, her life will be better!

"This is also very suitable for big sister." Jiang Ruoting picked up a hairpin from it. While hatred was shrouding her heart, the words that the third lady always said to her were also buzzing in her mind. She can't lose the big picture for the small, and she can't vent all her dissatisfaction because of a momentary displeasure. She wants to get everything from Jiang Ruohua perfectly, so she must endure it! There

are a total of eight sisters in the Jiang family. Except for the youngest daughter, Jiang Ruohan, who is only three years old and doesn't know anything, the others have all come.
