Sure enough, just like in the previous life, there was an exquisite jade pot in the brocade box.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
"pretty."
"This is a one-of-a-kind jade pot in the world. If it belonged to someone else, I would definitely not want to give it up."
Looking at the reluctance on Xu Wanqing's face, she was extremely grateful in her previous life.
"Thank you, sister. Why are you so nice to me?"
Xu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Wanyan, of course I have to be nice to you. In all these years, you haven't been to such an important place. How can I let my sister fall behind?"
Xu Wanyan lowered her head to hide the sneer in her eyes.
"You must keep it well and give it to Master Shen on his birthday. He will definitely be happy."
Xu Wanyan nodded, "I will."
Xu Wanqing's eyes never left her sister. She looked like she really liked her.
I felt relieved when I saw her nod.
"By the way, I was too busy a few days ago and forgot to give my sister some tea. Today is the perfect day, you can bring it back."
A bag of tea was pushed in front of Xu Wanyan, and she looked at it in a daze.
"Wanyan, don't you like it?"
She blinked, a girlish agility appearing on her face: "How could that be? I like it very much."
Xu Wanqing was slightly stunned. She was so beautiful.
Suddenly, the gentle whispers changed completely at this moment: "Sister, go back. I need to catch up on my sleep."
Xu Wanyan observed her changes accurately through her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth.
This sister has always been very jealous.
"Sister, take a rest first. I won't disturb you."
Looking at Xu Wanyan's back, Xu Wanqing clenched her fists, then released them.
In a few days, she will become a laughing stock in the whole capital. So what if she is pretty?
She is the only legitimate daughter in this family, and she doesn't want Xu Wanyan as her younger sister.
"Miss, the eldest lady is so kind to you."
Xu Wanyan looked at Qiao Yun: "Do you think this jade pot is beautiful?"
Qiao Yun nodded honestly: "Beautiful."
"But it's fake."
"What?" Qiao Yun was shocked.
Although she had not seen much of the world during her many years in the Grand Tutor's Mansion, she knew that it was unforgivable for a legitimate daughter to give away fake goods.
The eldest lady actually gave the young lady a fake item. Isn’t this harming the young lady?
Qiao Yun was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"Qiao Yun, don't be afraid. Do you know the maids at Mingzhu Garden?"
Qiao Yun thought for a while and shook her head.
Xu Wanyan sighed. That was true. Qiao Yun stayed with her in Hengwu Courtyard, so how could she recognize other people?
"...Miss, what should we do?"
If the young lady gave out a fake jade pot on Master Shen’s birthday, wouldn’t the sky be falling?
"There is a maid in Mingzhu Garden named Xichun. You can chat with her when you have time and ask her about the origin of this jade pot."
"Will she know?" Qiao'er was a little worried.
"Well, she knows."
In the previous life, when Qingping and his men found the real jade pot, Xichun was obviously shocked.
"Okay, Miss, I'll go and ask around."
“Don’t take it too seriously.”
"I understand. I will do as you say. By the way, Miss, what should I do with this packet of tea?"
Knowing that the jade pot was fake, she understood that the eldest lady had no true feelings for the second lady, and that the bag of tea might have been tampered with.
Xu Wanyan looked at Qiao Yun approvingly. She didn't expect that she had grown up so quickly.
"This packet of tea is fine, take it back."
"Oh, but it's better to be safe than sorry."
She didn't believe that the eldest lady could be so kind, otherwise, why didn't so many people care about the young lady?
In the next few days, after Qiao Yun finished her work at Feiyun Garden, she went to try to get close to Xichun.
Sure enough, soon Qiao Yun came to Xu Wanyan's inner room mysteriously.
"Did you find out?"
Qiao Yun nodded heavily, "Miss, it took me so much persuasion to get Xichun to speak."
"Tell me about the origin of the jade pot."
"Xichun said that this jade pot is real. There used to be a pair, one with the master and one with the mistress. This is just one given by the mistress to the eldest daughter."
Xu Wanyan sneered, Zhao Yaru's will come out later.
"Qiao Yun, let's go see father."
Qiao Yun hesitated a little: "...Is the master at home?"
"Of course it's here at this hour."
Tomorrow is Master Shen's birthday, he should have prepared for it long ago.
I don’t know if the fake jade pot incident in his previous life had anything to do with him.
After all, she didn't believe he didn't know that she was chosen to replace Xu Wanqing.
After all, the prince will attend the banquet tomorrow!
"Second Miss, the master and the mistress are resting inside."
Xu Wanyan swallowed the nausea in her heart, smiled and nodded: "Uncle Han, I will wait outside. I will go to see my father when he wakes up."
The butler nodded. Although he had only met the second young lady twice, he had a very good impression of her.
Normally, the eldest lady would just barge in without caring about anything.
Of course, the master and the mistress won't blame me.
Han Xinyuan sighed, this is the difference between love and not love.
"Second Miss, the master has woken up and is in the study. You can come in."
"Thank you, Uncle Han."
Xu Wanyan entered the study and saw Xu Maocai sitting alone at the desk with a serious expression. There was no sign of Zhao Yaru.
She must feel ashamed for committing adultery in broad daylight.
"What are you doing here?"
"Father, tomorrow is Master Shen's birthday. I'm worried that I might have done something wrong, so I'm here to ask for your advice."
