The least intelligent of the three brothers had accumulated some experience during his years of service in the provinces and then tried to get someone transferred back to the capital. He originally intended to keep this fool by his side and keep an eye on him, but even so, he still managed to cause all this trouble!
"I know, it's my fault. I only asked the third son's wife twice, and Sun Shi said that the child was afraid of strangers since he was new here, so I believed her. Sigh..."
The main reason is that they genuinely believed that the child was an adopted daughter, and neither they nor their eldest son's wife paid much attention to her.
Madam Yu deeply regretted her decision regarding her third daughter-in-law, who was otherwise useless except for her pretty face.
She shouldn't have softened her heart and agreed to let the third son marry her.
The old lady continued, "I always thought that among all the children and grandchildren in this mansion, whether they were born of the principal wife or illegitimate children, only the sixth daughter of the third branch didn't look like anyone from our family, nor like anyone from the Sun family. It turns out she wasn't originally one of our children!"
The child was only considered pretty; if it weren't for the fact that the third son's wife raised him with such pampering, he wouldn't even be as good-looking or imposing as her head maid.
Unlike Qi Yatou, who immediately felt that she should be a member of the Yu family.
Similarly, the eldest son and his wife were also discussing this matter. The eldest wife, Madam Zhang, sighed, "The third brother and his wife really did something unethical."
The legitimate daughter was being called an adopted daughter, and the audacious servants in the household, especially those from the third and fourth branches, were even secretly calling the seventh girl "cousin"!
When she found out, she punished a group of people, but the third brother's wife protected her, so she, as the eldest sister-in-law, couldn't interfere too much in her brother's wife's affairs in the yard.
As a result, the fourth branch of the family, which was born out of wedlock, calmed down considerably, but the eighth daughter would still cause trouble sometimes.
"Keep a close eye on Seventh Girl; she's suffered a lot these past few years."
Master Yu read the evil deeds that the Zhou family had committed against the young girl over the years, which his father had sent people to investigate.
If the little girl hadn't been sold into a Taoist temple, she wouldn't be alive today.
"I know. I never thought Sixth Sister was a good girl. Like the most mischievous Eighth Sister, she's strong-willed and competitive among her sisters, and she's also good at pretending."
My third sister-in-law is neglecting her own child because of her.
Yue Fuguang felt that the wind in the Yu family had suddenly changed. The old lady and the first lady had sent people to send her a lot of things, including food, clothes and other necessities, all of which were good things.
The people serving her were all replaced; none of the people Sun had given her were left behind.
After the fourth branch of the family sent gifts, even Sun Shi, whom they hadn't seen for almost a month, surprisingly came to her courtyard.
Yes, the courtyard she lives in now was just moved; the small, dilapidated courtyard she used to live in was just randomly chosen by Madam Sun.
It's out of the way, old, and small!
Now the courtyard is much more spacious and bright, and she feels much more comfortable living there.
"Seventh girl, don't blame your mother, and don't blame your sixth sister either. Now that you're back, you'll have plenty of good days ahead of you."
Don't try to fight for things that don't belong to you; make sure you get along well with your brothers and sisters in the future.
As soon as Sun arrived, she sat in the main seat and spoke at length to Yue Fuguang. In short, she told him not to harbor resentment about his past experiences and not to covet what belonged to her, Rou-jie!
Screw her! If I don't resent, fight, or retaliate, I won't be Yue Fuguang!
She truly suffered for almost a month at the hands of the Zhou couple after she transmigrated!
Thinking back to when I first arrived, I was so sickly that I couldn't even run. My body was so weak that the system didn't dare to replenish it. It took me two days to recover. Sigh! It's all tears!
So she's going to give everyone a big surprise, let's see if they can handle it!
In order to attend the Celebration Banquet smoothly, she endured it!
So Yue Fuguang looked timid and whispered, "Yes, I will do as Madam says."
When she heard her call her "Madam," Madam Sun was taken aback. This child had been brought back for so long, and it seemed that he had never called her "Mother" before.
Sure enough, those who aren't raised by your side aren't close!
Sun immediately lost interest in continuing the conversation; to be honest, she wasn't very familiar with this daughter.
They didn't even remind her that she should call herself "mother" instead of "madam."
Without her reminder, Yue Fuguang breathed a sigh of relief. She really couldn't bring herself to call her "Sun's Mother."
It's not about age; after all, she has accepted the fact that she is only eight years old. Due to the influence of her body, she can clearly feel that her mentality has become younger along with her age.
She couldn't bring herself to call her that simply because she felt that Sun Shi was unworthy of being a mother. The original owner of this body didn't have a mother like her, and neither did she.
"The day after tomorrow is the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. You should prepare well and practice your etiquette. I don't expect you to be as outstanding as your sixth sister, but don't embarrass our third branch of the family."
After saying that, he patted his butt and left, as if it were just a routine matter to make his presence known.
Who is she trying to impress?
Someone like her would be better off not coming at all; it would give everyone peace and quiet.
"Master, what do you think the Third Madam is here for?"
Surely you didn't come all this way just to say a few words to her?
The old lady sent her over, saying she'd add you to the family genealogy at the beginning of next month.
Originally, the Yu family's third branch did not mention that Yue Fuguang was their adopted daughter, and the Yu family did not plan to include her in the family genealogy for the time being.
“She didn’t tell me about this, so let’s pretend we don’t know anything about it.”
Thinking of something, Yue Fuguang suddenly smiled, hoping that the three unruly couple could withstand the wrath of the Yu family's patriarch and matriarch after the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.
Time flies, and these past few days have been the most comfortable days Yue Fuguang has had since she transmigrated.
If we disregard the rigorous training in etiquette and the fact that Yu Ningrou, that fake, was showing off in front of her, it could indeed be considered a good day.
Although the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet started at noon and continued until evening, the Yu family masters started preparing early.
Yue Fuguang, too, after having breakfast, let her head maid, Lüzhu, and the nanny fuss over her.
"Our seventh young lady is such a beautiful girl."
Looking at the Seventh Miss, who had been dressed up so beautifully, Zhao Mama felt a sense of satisfaction.
Green Bamboo chimed in, "Indeed, Granny is so skillful. With your styling, Miss looks like a fairy child who has stepped out of a painting."
The main reason is that Yue Fuguang looks much younger than her age. Although she is said to be eight years old, she looks only six or seven years old, and she can still be considered a child.
Yue Fuguang followed the third branch of the family towards the old lady's main courtyard.
With one hand holding Yu Ningrou's hand and the other holding her ten-year-old second son, Yu Ninghao, who was the sixth in his family, the eldest son of the third wife, Yu Ningchen, who was thirteen years old and the fourth among his brothers.
Yue Fuguang followed behind the group, quietly listening to the mother and her four children chatting and laughing intimately in front of her, her face calm.
There was no discomfort of being neglected, nor did it reflect the longing for family affection that children of this age have.
However, her head maid, Green Bamboo, felt sorry for her young mistress. Her young mistress was such a good girl, but for some reason, the Third Madam just didn't like her.
Upon arriving at the main courtyard, the family was taken aback when they saw the three main members of the family, as well as Yue Fuguang, who was lagging behind.
