"Yuhan, shut up!" Pei was really fed up. This niece from her mother's side really disappointed her. She was just a little petty and crying before, but now she framed her sisters without thinking. This is not a problem of upbringing, but a problem of character. Especially when An was watching coldly from the side, Pei knew how much her sister-in-law loved her daughter. If she didn't give an explanation, the relationship that had finally improved would probably fall into a state of stiffness again.

"Aunt, I mean well." Pei Yuhan tried to argue.

"That's enough! Whatever I taught you, it's all in vain. You've disappointed me so much. Why don't you just shut up and stand aside? We'll talk about it when we get back." Pei's tone was more severe than ever before.

Su Wenyue watched coldly from the side, thinking that it was enough. She still had to consider Pei's face. Pei's cousin was immature, and she couldn't let Pei's face be too embarrassing. So she said, "Don't be angry, Auntie. Cousin Yuhan is young after all, and it's normal for her to be immature. I believe she has no ill intentions."

After Su Wenyue finished speaking, she looked at the wife of the prefect, with an apologetic smile on her face: "Please forgive me, Madam Prefect, it's not that I don't want to do my best for you, but the money is out of the question. I really have the will but not the ability. Because I was injured in the previous difficult childbirth, the doctor specifically told me to take good care of myself. My husband didn't allow me to work too hard. I don't have much time to sew on weekdays. It took a long time to embroider my aunt's clothes. After all, it takes too much effort. Even the one I'm wearing was made by the embroiderer at home."

"Was the dress you are wearing made by an embroiderer? The needlework looks very similar to the one worn by the marquis' wife." The prefect's wife asked with some surprise. It was not that she doubted Su Wenyue's words, but she was just mistaken.

"No wonder the Magistrate's wife didn't give it away. My embroiderer has good skills. Because I have limited energy, not only my body can't bear it, but there are also a lot of things to do at home. I think it's a pity to let such a good skill go to waste in my hands, so I taught the embroiderer. If the Magistrate's wife likes it, I will draw a pattern and let my embroiderer make one for you. How about it?"

"That's great. I'll just wait to wear the clothes." When the prefect's wife saw that Su Wenyue was willing to draw Yang to let the embroiderer make clothes for her, she happily accepted Su Wenyue's kindness. She was not the ignorant niece of the marquis's family. Although Su's status was not as high as hers, she was also the wife of a sixth-rank captain in the court. How could she be treated as an embroiderer? As for the marquis's wife, she was her aunt and had a high status. She would not compare herself with her.

Seeing that Su Wenyue solved the problem she posed so easily and satisfied both Mrs. Pei and the prefect's wife, Pei Yuhan became more and more angry and unwilling. However, due to Mrs. Pei's stern warning, she did not say anything and just sat there with a gloomy face.

Many ladies shook their heads secretly when they saw Pei Yuhan like this. They originally thought that Pei Yuhan was the daughter of the governor of Jiangzhou, and her aunt was the wife of a marquis, so her status was quite high. A girl brought up by such a person should be good, so they let their daughters go to make friends with her. Some families who had boys of marriageable age even thought about marrying into the family, but after seeing Pei Yuhan's actions and performance, they all gave up the idea.

No matter how high their status is, they cannot afford such a person's character. If they marry a virtuous wife, but marry a troublemaker, it will be difficult for them to live a few days of peace, let alone respecting the elders and taking care of household affairs, let alone other things.

Pei Yuhan was a sensitive person to begin with, so she could not fail to notice the change in the attitude of these ladies towards her. As she became more angry, her face became increasingly gloomy.

Although Mrs. Pei was talking to someone, she did not ignore Pei Yuhan's performance. She felt more and more disappointed and helpless. It would be better for her niece to get married off as soon as possible, instead of raising her to become an enemy. She had previously blamed her step-sister-in-law for raising her astray, but now it seems that this may not be her sister-in-law's fault. Some people are bad at heart. Her niece has been with her for quite some time. She thought that her aunt was good to her and tried her best to educate her. However, she could clearly feel the resentment in her niece. There was no gratitude at all. If that was the case, she would not have said such words to embarrass her today.

When it was time for lunch, the prefect's wife took them to the hall to sit down. Maids brought the meals up one after another. Those sitting in the hall were all people of some status. She basically knew them all from outside just now. There were only two people sitting not far from her whom she didn't recognize. And judging by the seating arrangement, they were of high status. She took advantage of Mrs. Pei's status, otherwise she would have only been able to get a seat in the middle back.

The governor's wife's banquet was naturally of high standard, and the dishes were considered sumptuous at that time. Those who were seated at the front had several plates of fruit on each table, while those who were seated at the back had only one plate, and the portions were not that large.

Many people praised the delicious food at the governor's wife's house. Su Wenyue was used to the food at home, so she thought the food here was just average. However, when she saw the way the girl at the next table ate, she felt a little hungry.

Su Wenyue looked at this little girl and found her very interesting. Although many people praised the dishes for being delicious, they ate very politely and paid attention to table manners. Only this little girl did not talk to others. She was only focused on the food on the table. She ate with such delicious smells that people could not help but feel hungry when they saw her.

To be precise, the description of "little girl" is a bit inaccurate. This little girl also has a baby face and looks very young, but she is already dressed like a woman. In fact, she is not much different in age from Su Wenyue. It's just that Su Wenyue has lived an extra lifetime and her mentality has changed, so she treats her as a little girl. In the eyes of others, Su Wenyue is not much different from that little girl. After all, both of them look young, and Su Wenyue dresses more maturely.

Su Wenyue saw that the little girl had finished the magnolia meat slices on the table and was still reluctant to eat more, so she asked the maid beside her to bring the meat on her table to the little girl. The little girl was stunned at first and looked at Su Wenyue. Su Wenyue looked at the little girl with a smile on her face, and the little girl responded with a sweet smile.

This magnolia slice was sent by Su Wenyue. She knew the taste just by tasting it. Although a small amount was given to the prefect's wife at the beginning, it was not much if used for a banquet. Therefore, there was only a small plate on each table, and only those who sat in the front seats could have this dish.

Su Wenyue saw that the little girl had no guard at all and quickly finished the plate of magnolia slices that she asked the maid to bring over. The corners of her mouth twitched. This little girl was really a little foodie, especially after she finished eating the magnolia slices, her eyes were shining with wolfish light when she looked at other dishes.
