"You have a sharp tongue, Third Brother. My sister just came back, so you should give her more time."
Third Brother Xu's eyes widened: "Second Brother, are you kidding me? Did you hear what that damn girl said? How could you speak for her? Wanwan must be so sad if you do this!"
Xu Jingwan looked at her second brother Xu thoughtfully. Having grown up together, Xu Jingwan knew that her second brother Xu was not as carefree as her third brother Xu, who showed all his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness on his face.
Her second brother has something on him.
"After all, she is our biological sister. We will be a family when we live together. Sister Xiaoyi, you can try to get rid of the thorns on your body. We should get along well with each other."
Minister Xu nodded. "I, your father, have heard about what happened outside today. You were wrong in doing this, but considering that you just returned home and don't understand the twists and turns of the capital, I'll let it go."
"From now on, learn etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy and painting from Wanwan. You don't have to be proficient in them, just a basic understanding will be enough."
"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet will be held in two days. You sisters will come to the palace together. I hope you will both be favored by the Queen Mother."
Sure enough, this face is a killer.
She remembered that on the first day she came back from her previous life, her father punished her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall according to family rules.
Xu Jinyi stood straight with an expression neither humble nor arrogant, which made Minister Xu more and more satisfied the more he looked at her.
She is worthy of being my daughter. Even though she has been living away from home for more than ten years, she has not become dull and dim.
Only Xu's mother understood Xu Jinyi's mouth. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was so infuriating.
She could imagine her husband's furious look as soon as she opened her mouth.
The next second, Xu Jinyi spoke coldly, "Daughter, I don't know what I did wrong today. I'm just telling the truth. Isn't Xu Jingwan a fake? Aren't you planning to sacrifice your own daughter for the reputation of a fake?"
"Is a fake girl qualified to let me learn from her?"
Minister Xu half-closed his eyes and looked up and down at his newly found daughter.
Xu Jinyi let him look at her without any fear on her face. Even her second brother Xu was surprised at her calmness.
He kept calling her a fake, and Xu Jingwan's eyes turned red with grievance.
When Brother Xu San saw this, he stood up immediately.
"Isn't it just blood relationship? Don't think you can replace Wanwan just because you're back. I'm telling you, recognize your place, or I can tell you to get out at any time!"
"You only dare to be so arrogant at home and bully your own sister. If you have the guts, go out and tell everyone how the Shangshu Mansion treats its own daughter for a fake." Xu Jinyi was not afraid at all.
Just kick her out, she doesn't want you anyway. She has money, so why would she worry about having no place to stay?
Minister Xu frowned, very dissatisfied with Xu Jinyi's temper.
A good-looking daughter is one thing, but a disobedient one is another.
If she is not properly disciplined and her bad temper is not cured, I am afraid that she will be of no help to their Shangshu Mansion after she gets married.
Thinking of this, Minister Xu directly punished Xu Jinyi by making her kneel in the ancestral hall for a night and not allowing her to eat, on the grounds that she was disobedient and talked back to her elders.
"Sister, you should apologize to father and tell him you were wrong, otherwise you will really be locked up in the ancestral hall for a night."
Xu Jinyi dodged her claws: "Stop being so hypocritical. If you want to pretend to be a good person, please put away the smile on your lips first, otherwise your disgusting and contrived look will make people feel sick."
Xu Jingwan shook her head desperately: "Sister, I'm not. I'm really worried about you. The ancestral hall is in a remote and dark place! I'm afraid you can't bear it."
"Wanwan, don't plead for her. A vicious woman like her is not worthy of you pleading for her." Brother Xu San pulled Xu Jingwan away.
At this time, Jiang Ma stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation to Xu Jinyi.
Xu Jinyi knew that her father wanted her to beg for mercy, and the submissive look in his eyes was very obvious.
But she is not one to follow the beaten path.
He stepped out of the living room and followed Jiang Ma to the ancestral hall.
As soon as she left, Madam Xu couldn't hold back any longer: "Master, I knew this damn girl wasn't a good person. She's like a mad dog, and her tongue is so sharp. I shouldn't have decided to take her back then. Now she's ruined Yan'er's appearance."
Minister Xu was also getting annoyed: "Alright, there's still time. Give her a good lesson. If that doesn't work out, just let her get married. Of course, you have to choose the right person carefully."
When Minister Xu said to choose carefully, he naturally didn't mean to choose based on family background or character, but to let Xu Jinyi marry whoever can bring him the greatest benefit.
Mrs. Xu nodded in agreement.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Xu Jingwan's panicked heart calmed down a lot.
As long as Xu Jinyi's family doesn't like her, it doesn't matter how pretty she is.
Madam Xu touched Xu Jingwan's head and said worriedly: "Master, today has caused such a commotion. Now everyone knows that Wanwan is not our daughter. Do we really have to let Wanwan stay as an adopted daughter?"
"Will the prince agree to marry an adopted daughter? Our Wanwan is so sensible and well-behaved, we can't let her feel disappointed, let alone let her suffer such injustice."
Minister Xu was also worried: "Now that the matter has been exposed, Wanwan can no longer claim to be the legitimate daughter. Tomorrow, Madam, please get some banknotes from the treasury for Wanwan."
"Let Wanwan go shopping with her little sisters and buy some good things so that others will know that even though Wanwan is our Shangshufu's adopted daughter, nothing will change. We still love her the same way."
Xu Jingwan was so moved that she threw herself into Xu's mother's arms: "Dad, Mom, thank you."
"Silly child, you have been wronged today."
Over there, Jiang Ma took Xu Jinyi to the ancestral hall in the deepest part of the mansion. Along the way, Jiang Ma kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word.
In fact, she really wanted to mock Xu Jinyi's fate right now, but she was just afraid that Xu Jinyi would slap her again.
Inside the ancestral hall, as soon as Xu Jinyi walked in, the door was locked from the outside by Jiang Ma.
Xu Jinyi looked at the tablets of his ancestors one by one, and his eyes fell on the chickens, geese and fruits offered in front of them.
Xu Jinyi raised the corner of his lips slightly, reached out without hesitation, picked up the chicken being offered, tore off a chicken leg and started eating it happily.
Her mother believed in ghosts and gods very much, so she would offer sacrifices in the ancestral hall every morning and evening, and the offerings were always fresh.
The chicken was now at the perfect temperature and was at its most delicious. Xu Jinyi ate a chicken leg and a chicken wing, then returned the chicken.
Then I tore off two goose feet and ate them. The goose was braised in soy sauce, and the two goose feet were particularly tasty.
While eating, Xu Jinyi simply moved the things on the table and sat down on the table where the offerings were placed.
His legs were swaying, and his mouth was smacking the food. He even felt that it was not satisfying enough, so he picked up the wine offered and started drinking from the jug.
"fragrant!"
Xu Jinyi couldn't help but sigh, and then continued to eat goose wings while praising the chef's craftsmanship.
