Xiao Tao nodded rapidly, "Don't worry, Miss. Even if I die, I will never tell anyone this secret!"

"Go!" Su Jinyue said, "Don't talk nonsense and pack your clothes."

"Hey, I'll go right away!"

The next day, the sun had just risen and was shining under the shade of the trees in the courtyard.

The maid was sweeping the yard when there was a knock on Su Jinyue's door.

Boom boom boom!

Inside the house.

Su Jinyue turned over and wanted to continue sleeping, but the knocking sound outside the door continued!

Xiao Tao went to the outer room and opened the door. "What's going on so early in the morning?"

"Miss Xiaotao, this is what the lady sent from her room." The maid held the folded pink and red clothes in her hands, "She said she wanted the young lady to wear it at the banquet."

Xiao Tao's eyes lit up and she quickly took the clothes, "Okay, I understand."

She went back into the house, put down her clothes, and saw her young lady got up. She immediately fetched some water and came over to help her wash.

"Who was it just now?" Su Jinyue asked.

Xiao Tao said, "It's someone from Madam's room, coming to bring Miss some clothes to wear for the wedding banquet. Madam is still thinking about Miss!"

After packing up, Su Jinyue went over and saw the clothes on the table. She asked Xiaotao to open the clothes.

The fabric of the dress is okay, but the big pink peach blossoms embroidered on the pink dress looks tacky and ugly!

Xiao Tao also noticed the problem with the dress, "Miss, isn't this dress a little too gaudy?"

The word "charming" sounds nice, but to put it bluntly it is vulgar. If I wear this to a banquet, I will definitely be laughed at by those young ladies from wealthy families!

"This set of clothes must not be a gift from my mother."

Su Jinyue probably guessed that this must be a trick of Su Zhiyao. If it was sent to her in the name of her mother, she would have to wear it even if she didn't want to.

"Then..." Xiaotao hesitated.

Looking at the clothes, Su Jinyue smiled and said, "Wear the clothes they sent you tomorrow. You can put away the clothes I prepared yesterday and change into them in the carriage."

Xiao Tao nodded, "I understand Miss."

The next day, everyone who wanted to attend the banquet was waiting outside the door, but Su Jinyue didn't arrive.

Su Chengjiang became impatient, "Does she have any manners at all? She made so many of us wait for her outside the mansion for so long!"

"Maybe it's still early and my sister hasn't packed up yet." Su Zhiyao said from the side.

"It's already noon and they haven't cleaned up yet. I think they haven't gotten up at all!" Su Chengjiang said.

Su Zhiyao was secretly delighted in her heart, maybe because she was too embarrassed to even go out wearing that kind of clothes!

Jiang Caiping was also a little unhappy, and said to Yuehua beside her: "Go to the eldest lady's yard and urge her!"

"Yes, ma'am."

However, Yuehua just stepped into the mansion and came out again, with a smile on her face, "Madam... the eldest lady is here."

Seeing Yuehua unable to hold back her laughter, Jiang Caiping frowned, "What's wrong with you?"

When she looked up again, she saw Su Jinyue and Xiaotao coming out of the mansion.

Su Jinyue was wearing a pink dress and had heavy makeup on, which made people feel uncomfortable when looking at her.

Su Chengjiang couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Su Jinyue, you look like a country woman who came to the city and painted herself to look like a monkey's butt!"

As she wished, Su Jinyue put on the clothes and painted herself like this. Su Zhiyao smiled with her hands covering her lips.

Jiang Caiping felt that Su Jinyue's outfit was really embarrassing. "Why are you dressed like this? What kind of clothes are you wearing?"

Su Jinyue said innocently, "Isn't this the dress my mother sent me?"

Su Zhiyao hurriedly changed the subject, "It's getting late. Sister came out a little late. If you don't come into the palace soon, His Majesty will blame you."

It was indeed getting late, Jiang Caiping could only frown and say, "Yuehua, bring me my cloak!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Yuehua took out the cloak, and Jiang Caiping gave it to Su Jinyue, "Put it on quickly, don't embarrass our mansion when you get to the palace!"

"yes."

Su Jinyue took the cloak and put it on, then followed the others to the carriage.

Jiang Caiping got on the carriage. Just as Su Jinyue was about to get on, Su Zhiyao raised her arm to stop her. She smiled and said, "Sister, there aren't many seats in the carriage. I used to accompany mother."

"You'd better go to the carriage behind."

Xiao Tao was not convinced and said, "Why should my young lady sit in the carriage at the back?"

Su Zhiyao smiled at Su Jinyue, "I'm just worried that my sister doesn't know the rules. After all, I was always with my mother before, and those young ladies from aristocratic families are more familiar to me."

Xiao Tao angrily wanted to speak for her young lady, but was stopped by Su Jinyue.

Su Jinyue walked forward slowly, raised her hand and slapped Su Zhiyao on the cheek with a smile!

Bang!!

The loud slap made Su Zhiyao stunned for a moment.

"Sister! What are you doing?" Su Zhiyao covered her face in disbelief.

Su Jinyue smiled and said calmly: "I am teaching my sister the rules. My rules were handed over by the Marquis' Mansion. Do you mean that mother didn't teach me the rules well?"

"I am not..."

Su Jinyue interrupted Su Zhiyao's words of defense, "This slap is me teaching you to be careful with your words and actions!"

After saying this, she turned around and took Xiao Tao to the carriage behind without caring how Su Zhiyao was gritting her teeth behind her.

The carriage started to move slowly, and Xiao Tao said angrily, "Miss! They are too bullying!"

"I had no intention of sitting with them."

Su Jinyue asked Xiaotao to wet a handkerchief and wipe off her makeup, revealing her fair and beautiful face. She took off the clothes and put on her own clothes, then simply applied some lip balm.

"Even if Su Zhiyao didn't cause trouble, I would find an excuse not to sit with them."

"I know." Xiao Tao pouted, "I just can't swallow this anger on behalf of the young lady!"

Su Jinyue pinched Xiaotao's chubby cheeks and said, "If you can't even stand this little bit of anger, how can you achieve anything great?"

The two carriages went farther and farther away. The carriage carrying Jiang Caiping and Su Zhiyao arrived at the palace gate first, while the carriage carrying Su Jinyue was still far behind.

Su Zhiyao held Jiang Caiping's arm and said, "Mother, should we wait for my sister here?"

Although Su Jinyue was not dressed appropriately today, Jiang Caiping did not want to leave her alone outside. Just as she was about to nod, Su Chengjiang's voice sounded beside her.

"Mother, if I bring her in with me, I don't know how those noble young masters will laugh at me. I don't want to go with her!"

Su Jingnian also said calmly: "If we go in with her, I'm afraid it will bring shame to our mansion."

Su Zhiyao also sighed, "That's right. If mother meets Madam Jiang and the others, they will probably say something bad about mother again."

Jiang Caiping has never gotten along well with the noble ladies in the capital. If she brings Su Jinyue with her, wouldn't it really bring shame to the Ningyuan Marquisate?

After thinking it over again and again, Jiang Caiping said, "Let's go in first. She has hands and feet, so just let her enter the palace by herself!"

When Su Jinyue's carriage arrived at the palace gate, several carriages of dignitaries and nobles stopped outside the palace gate.

Several young ladies from aristocratic families got off the carriage and saw Su Jinyue's "broken" carriage. They couldn't help but start talking about it.

"Whose lady's carriage is this? It's so simple!"

"There's not even a sign of the mansion. I'm afraid it's some minor official who came to curry favor at the banquet!"
