A month later, a group of carriages and horses slowly entered the capital.
"Although Madam is the niece of the Madam, you are the eldest granddaughter of the Madam."
"...Even for your grandmother's sake, they would never dare to bully you!"
In the carriage, Nanny Zhou had changed back into her maid's attire.
She sat next to Han Jiaojiao and said words of comfort that she herself didn't quite believe.
Han Jiaojiao lazily leaned against the car window, secretly complaining:
Yes, they really don’t dare to bully me openly.
But there will inevitably be backstabbing, sarcasm, and indirect criticism.
If the Han family was a good place, her mother would not have died.
I will not develop a cowardly and inferior character.
Fortunately, there is Auntie——
Oh, how nice it would be if I could stay with Auntie forever?
Ten-year-old Han Jiaojiao has grown up. She has seen more of the world with Gu Qingcheng and has begun to think more.
Suddenly, she thought of something, and a blush appeared on her palm-sized face.
However, it is not easy to achieve what you want.
My family background is too high, and——
Not afraid!
I still have a trump card.
A strange light flashed in Han Jiaojiao's eyes.
Soon, the carriage stopped outside the gate of a wealthy family.
Nanny Zhou was right, the Han family valued her very much.
Her stepmother, her father's favorite concubine, and the outstanding half-sister who had been the shadow of her childhood, all came to the door and greeted her with great fanfare.
What is this for?
On the surface, they care about her, but in fact they want to label her as an arrogant and disrespectful stepmother?
A stepmother is also a mother, even if she never gave birth to her or raised her. As long as she has this status, she is her elder.
Let the elders come to greet him. Wow, he is really spoiled and arrogant.
Han Jiaojiao sneered secretly, but she had already entered the "state".
The car door slowly opened and Nanny Zhou jumped out first.
She didn't bother to greet everyone in the Han family, and carefully supported Han Jiaojiao.
A thin girl in an apricot-yellow dress staggered down from the carriage.
Stepmother Han first glanced at the clothes critically: it was not too plain, which was in line with her status as someone who had already left mourning; but it was not too ostentatious either, after all, she had only been out of mourning for a short time.
Then, Stepmother Han's gaze fell on the girl's face again.
Well, the little girl lowered her head and hunched her shoulders, so her appearance and expression could not be seen at all.
However, just looking at his huddled, hunched appearance, he is almost no different from three years ago.
Still that unpresentable little piece of trash!
Even though she was thinking this, Stepmother Han still had a standard smile on her face.
She took a quick step and went to meet him, "Oh, Jiaojiao, you're finally back!"
"You are such a cruel child. You haven't come home for three years."
"Do you know how much your grandmother misses you! She was ill some time ago—"
Tsk, what a big pot to be blamed for.
Her stepmother was scolding her for being "unfilial".
For a ten-year-old girl, this is a serious crime.
Of course, under the influence of Gu Qingcheng, Han Jiaojiao doesn't care about "reputation".
However, not caring does not mean that some people can unscrupulously accuse her of anything.
Han Jiaojiao was initially hesitant: should she go so far? Although her stepmother wasn't particularly close to her, they didn't hold a grudge against each other.
My mother’s death is more of a heartache.
It was not as outsiders commented, that she was angered to death by her husband, favorite concubine and cousin.
Han Jiaojiao understood this very clearly.
In the past three years, my stepmother has not taken the initiative to provoke me.
If Han Jiaojiao targeted her, it would be a bit unfair.
But now, seeing her stepmother who was kind but treacherous, Han Jiaojiao's embarrassment disappeared.
This person!
Should!
"I was wrong! Mother was right!"
Han Jiaojiao slowly raised her head, revealing her delicate little face.
While she was "admitting her mistake", she began to perform -
cry!
She cried like pear blossoms with tears in the rain, and Du Juan cried like blood.
Nanny Zhou, who was supporting Han Jiaojiao, had a numb look on her face:...This scene looks so damn familiar.
Nanny Zhou had long been accustomed to it in her heart, but on the surface she had to cooperate with her young lady and showed a worried and flustered expression.
She hurriedly persuaded him, "Don't worry, Madam is just teaching you, not scolding you for being unfilial!"
Stepmother Han: ...
She was dumbfounded, okay?
Her impression of Han Jiaojiao still remains that of the timid, cowering little figure from three years ago.
She had only heard about Han Jiaojiao's frailty.
After all, Han Jiaojiao fell seriously ill on the way back to Beijing, and stayed in an unknown small county for three years to recuperate.
It took three years to recover, which shows how serious the disease was at the time.
But today, Stepmother Han realized that she was childish.
What does "raise well" mean?
This girl is clearly dying of illness!
What kind of nice girl would vomit blood at any time!
I'm really vomiting blood.
Stepmother Han was frightened by Han Jiaojiao's blood-stained handkerchief, and she didn't realize for a moment that she seemed to have become the most vicious stepmother in the capital.
