Xichun nodded, "However, after Aunt Huang left, the master did not take a concubine."
Xu Wanyan understood that it was probably just Zhao Yaru's trick.
"Didn't the other two concubines make a fuss about coming out?"
Xichun shook her head. "There was some turmoil in the past two years, but after the two concubines' families came to visit, things settled down."
Xu Wanyan felt that these two concubines probably relied on Zhao Yaru for their survival, so it would be difficult to get anything out of them.
"Go back and don't let anyone know about this."
Xichun nodded and walked out.
Xu Wanyan stared out the door in a daze. Everything seemed traceable, yet everything was so confusing.
"Sister, what are you looking at?"
Suddenly, the enlarged face in front of her startled Xu Wanyan.
She quickly stood up and bowed slightly, "Sister, why are you here?"
"I came to see you. Since the Shen family incident, you haven't come to see me. Are you angry with me?"
The way Xu Wanqing pouted was both cute and beautiful in the eyes of Xu Wanyan in the past.
Now, only disgust remains.
"Sister, who replaced Mr. Mo Bai's calligraphy and paintings?"
Xu Wanqing's expression changed, and her voice became a little gloomy. "I don't know who it is? If I knew, I would definitely kill him."
Xu Wanyan smiled in her heart, “Sister, don’t be angry, father will definitely find it if he intervenes.”
When Xu Maocai was mentioned, Xu Wanqing showed a hint of unnaturalness on her face. Then, she smiled and took Xu Wanyan's arm, "Let's not talk about these things. Are you used to living in Feiyun Garden? This is my first time here."
"I'm still used to it."
"That's good. Mom was always worried that you wouldn't get used to living here."
Xu Wanyan just smiled.
After Xu Wanqing looked around, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. After asking for so many things, she was still very shabby.
Then she saw the book on the table and walked over quickly.
Xu Wanyan was a little nervous and followed him over.
When she reached the desk, Xu Wanyan took two quick steps forward and closed the book on the desk.
"Sister, what are you doing? Are you...learning to read?"
As she spoke, Xu Wanqing reached out to take the book.
Xu Wanyan blushed slightly and nodded, whispering, "Sister, please don't laugh at me. I... was just taking a look."
Xu Wanqing was skeptical and opened the book, only to find it was a collection of poems without any annotations on it.
It seems that she was just looking around casually.
"Sister, if you want to learn to read, you can tell me and I will teach you."
After saying that, Xu Wanqing wrote the three words "Xu Wanyan" on the paper.
"Sister, this is..."
"This is your name. You must learn these three characters, and then others will not look down on you."
"Really?"
Xu Wanyan's face was full of innocence and admiration.
Xu Wanqing nodded proudly, "Of course, as the old saying goes, a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. If she learns too much, she will not be liked by her in-laws."
Xu Wanyan's face changed, and she hesitated, "So, doesn't that mean I can't learn to read? But, my father doesn't want me to be illiterate."
"Alas, my father is a man, and he cares about his reputation. He's afraid people will say his daughter is illiterate. In fact, men are most attracted to women who are not well-educated. I'm the only one who can tell you this sincerely."
Xu Wanyan was deeply moved and nodded repeatedly, "I know that my sister treats me the best, but, sister, you are not married yet, how do you know this?"
Xu Wanqing's face changed. This clearly meant that she was well versed in matters between men and women.
She is not married yet. If she gets such a reputation, what will Lu Mingxuan think of her?
Mingxuan is bound to pursue a career in politics in the future, so how could he tolerate a wife whose reputation has been tarnished?
Thinking of this, Xu Wanqing felt a little angry. This girl is so uneducated!
"Sister, of course I don't know. I heard this from my sisters. They all have sisters who are married, so they know something."
Xu Wanyan nodded in sudden realization and sighed, "I see. However, I heard that you are well-read. Aren't you afraid that your future brother-in-law won't like you?"
Looking at Xu Wanyan tilting her head with an innocent look, Xu Wanqing was so angry that she wanted to slap her.
What a good association!
Taking a deep breath, Xu Wanqing smiled and said, "Actually, my sister isn't as talented as the rumors say. It's just outsiders stirring things up."
Xu Wanyan still looked at her with confusion.
Xu Wanqing gritted her teeth secretly and said, "How about this, tomorrow, some of our sisters are going to get together, sister, you should come too, and you will know then."
"Really? Sister is going to take me to your party?"
"Of course it's true. My sisters all come from aristocratic families in the capital, so they know a lot."
"That's great, thank you, sister. I will definitely not embarrass you."
Xu Wanyan's happy look relieved Xu Wanqing's unhappiness a little.
Such a stupid girl, she must let her little sisters bully her, so that she doesn't know her place and speaks nonsense.
"Sister, don't be so reserved. We are all just girls, just chatting together."
Xu Wanyan nodded, but she was still very happy to prepare.
Seeing this, Xu Wanqing grinned disdainfully and said lightly: "Then sister, get ready. I will wait for you at the gate tomorrow morning."
"Okay, sister."
Xu Wanqing quickly returned to Mingzhu Garden, wrote a note and handed it to Qingping, "Give it to Sun Caiyun."
"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away."
Looking at Qingping's back, Xu Wanqing smiled triumphantly.
After the Shen family incident, Sun Caiyun was severely beaten by her father when she returned home, and she had already hated Xu Wanyan in her heart.
If she knew Xu Wanyan was coming tomorrow, she would definitely seek revenge.
So, she didn't need to do it herself, someone would naturally take care of that bitch.
All I have to do is say a few nice words to Xu Wanyan when she is bullied, and she will be grateful to me.
Thinking of this, Xu Wanqing looked forward to tomorrow.

"Miss, do you really want to go out with the eldest lady?"
Qiao Yun was a little worried. The eldest lady looked gentle and kind, but last time, she gave her a fake jade pot.
The most important thing is that the eldest daughter behaves indecently. She is involved with a man outside her family before she gets married, which is really immoral.
She didn't want the young lady to go with the eldest lady.
Xu Wanyan had a serious expression on her face, completely lacking the naiveté she had when Xu Wanqing was around.
"Go, you must go."
"But, Miss's sisters..., I'm afraid..."
"Are you afraid they will bully me?"
Xu Wanyan's expression softened considerably.
Qiao Yun nodded and muttered, "Miss Sun is her good sister. I'm afraid she will make things difficult for her tomorrow."
"No problem, it's just Sun Caiyun, I don't take her seriously. I have to leave the Grand Tutor's Mansion to find out what's going on outside."
