"If she wanted to, could she still openly smile at the banquet?! I heard that during the sacrificial ceremony this morning, she was worshipping alone in the temple. It was really bizarre."
"Although the former owner of the Pei family always introduced her as the Pei family's mistress, let's not even talk about the six prestigious families. Even in the imperial capital's chaebol circles, which mistress isn't married through formal marriage?! She's truly a woman of humble origins, capable of adapting to any circumstances."
"That's her brilliance. Only by enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens can she become the headmistress of the Pei family."
"Heh~, so what if she becomes the mistress of the Pei family?! Pei Yucheng completely ignored Ning Ruyan for her own sake. How long do you think she can stay the mistress of the Pei family?!"
"How does that saying go: The one who is truly favored is Madam Pei."
"Did you see the word 'City' on the chest of her shirt?! Why does it feel more and more awkward the more I look at it?!" Just as a socialite raised the question, she caught a glimpse of Zhong Yi passing by not far away. She quickly called out, "Xiao Yi!"
As Zhong Yi walked over and politely greeted her, the lady asked, "You and the Patriarch of the Pei family have been close since childhood. Look at the word 'City' on the mistress of the Pei family's clothes. Is it the Patriarch's handwriting?!"
Zhong Yi didn't look at Ji Yuqi straight in the eye.
Originally, she didn't want to pay attention to the boring gossip of these socialites.
However, she still said calmly: "Yucheng likes cursive writing."
As soon as the words fell, there was silence for a few seconds, and then a famous lady exclaimed, "That word 'City' is in regular script. Oh my god, the name of the master on her clothes was not written by the master himself. I suddenly feel a little pitiful for her. What should I do?!"
According to the customs of Jingcheng.
The six major families have important clan ceremonies. The head of the family’s wife and children all need to have their names written on them and then have them embroidered on their uniforms.
This is not just a symbol of identity and status.
It is also a symbol of harmony.
"This is clearly not the worst. According to the news from the servants at the Pei residence, the Patriarch of the Pei family doesn't even let her sleep on the bed. I heard that she sleeps on the floor. I didn't believe it at first, after all, they already have a child, but now, I inexplicably believe it. What should I do?"
"Serves her right! Isn't this what she deserves?!" The socialite glanced at Zhong Yi, who was standing nearby and exuding a noble aura. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "All matters concerning the six major families in Jingcheng are secret and never publicized. However, the fact that the Pei and Zhong families are interested in forming a marriage alliance is well known to all the foreign clans."
At this point, the socialite paused. She looked up at Ji Niancheng who was leaning against Ji Yuqi, and then turned to ask Zhong Yi, "Miss Zhong, when the head of the Pei family ignored the opposition of the entire clan and insisted on going to the Zhong family to cancel the engagement, was Ji Yuqi already pregnant?! According to the birth date and horoscope of the direct line ritual, she should have been, otherwise the head of the Pei family would not have made such a fuss. Ji Yuqi is so bold that she dared to interfere in the first intra-clan marriage of the six major families since ancient times. Is she tired of living..."
"Ji Yuqi is just asking for trouble. Without even considering her own status, she's trying to climb the Pei family's high branch. How can she compare with Miss Zhong?! Putting aside the fact that the four major families have collapsed, even if they were still the most prestigious family in the imperial capital, so what?! In front of the Zhong family, she's utterly demeaning. A daughter from such a family, marrying into the head of an ancient family, would definitely not be valued. If she hadn't interfered, Miss Zhong would definitely have married into the Pei family. And would Pei Yucheng dare to keep a celebrity daughter outside today?! With the Zhong family's backing, would Pei Yucheng dare to disappear in such an occasion?!"
