She also resented her second brother for recognizing the eldest princess as his mother.
And his eldest brother is rarely home and doesn't care about them at all.
She also complained that her father only cared about things outside.
Because of her rebellious and immature nature, her grandmother naturally didn't dote on her or show her any favoritism. Her younger sisters, on the other hand, were sensible and well-behaved, and their grandmother praised them constantly.
She, this girl, was superfluous, utterly superfluous.
She was spoiled by her stepmother and became lazy and uneducated. She neglected her studies when she was young, and some of the girls deliberately led her to play instead of studying properly, making her more and more delinquent.
Under such circumstances, how could she possibly have a good impression of this second brother?
Even though my second brother was also spoiled, so what?
In her view, everyone in the Yan family had wronged her mother, and that was true.
Some people ignore it, some do it on purpose, but some know everything but pretend not to.
Growing up amidst such resentment, Yan Nangui's temperament is hard to like.
That's why she ended up being treated that way by the Meng family after her marriage, until she lost her life.
Yan Nangui, inside the carriage, took a slow breath and whispered in her heart: Don't worry, I will avenge you. And avenge me too. Now, may you be reborn peacefully.
From this moment on, there is no original owner; she is simply herself.
We arrived at the Crown Prince's residence. The carriage couldn't go straight in, so it stopped at the side gate.
Someone helped Yan Nangui off the carriage.
Yan Jincheng, who was riding a horse, had already dismounted. Seeing her get off the carriage, he walked over and said, "I'll see you off here."
His words were tinged with impatience.
Yan Nangui merely glanced at him indifferently, said nothing, and turned to look at the crowd welcoming them at the door.
There were quite a few people welcoming them, including several ladies of obviously lower rank, showing that they had put a lot of thought into it.
Yan Nangui smiled and said, "Thank you all for your trouble."
Everyone greeted her, and then someone came to help her into the mansion.
Throughout the entire journey, the wild geese flew south without ever looking back.
Behind her, her second brother just frowned as he watched her retreating figure.
Feeling a bit strange, he was angry that his sister was going to become a concubine in the Crown Prince's residence and was unwilling to come and see him off.
She's just a concubine, what difference does it make if I give her away?
The eldest princess pleaded earnestly: "My son, you are the only male in the family. How can you not go? She is still your sister, the eldest daughter in the family. Just go. No matter how unreasonable she is, she is still your sister."
Yan Jincheng snorted: "Mother is really too kind. She didn't even know to come back to pay her respects, and I still had to go to see her off!"
The eldest princess just sighed and didn't want to say anything more. In the end, Yan Jincheng still went.
Upon entering the mansion, the welcoming staff led her through the side gate of the front courtyard.
I walked through Ningxiang Garden, then passed Jiangyun Pavilion, and then walked along the path between Jiangyun Pavilion and Youxiang Garden.
After passing through a small grove of trees, we arrived at Jiyue Pavilion.
"Madam Liangyuan, we've arrived. This is Jiyue Pavilion. Her Highness the Crown Princess said that although you are only a Liangyuan, you are still the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. Naturally, you can't stay in anything too shabby, so you're staying here. As you can see, Her Highness the Crown Princess has carefully arranged everything inside. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just let me know," the head maid said with a smile.
But she kept emphasizing that she was referring to the Crown Princess.
Yan Nangui merely glanced at the grove of trees and asked, "What kind of trees are those?"
“In reply to Liangyuan, those are pear trees,” a maid replied.
"Yes, pear trees, that's nice." Yan Nangui smiled again, holding the maid's hand. "Thank you, Your Highness. I'll go pay my respects in a bit."
"No need for that. Her Highness the Crown Princess said you've had a long day, so please rest and we'll meet again tomorrow. We'll also prepare a banquet for you tomorrow," said the head maid.
"That's fine then. Cicada Robe," Yan Nangui called out.
Chanyi handed over a purse: "Thank you for your hard work, Granny."
The nanny in charge accepted it and was naturally delighted.
He described the furnishings in the pavilion again before leading the person into the main room.
On the surface, Jiyue Pavilion is indeed without any problems and is quite magnificent and exquisite.
It's a nice place to stay.
Yan Nangui was satisfied. After seeing off the people outside, it was time for the group inside Jiyue Pavilion to leave.
They had all inquired about it.
This lady... tsk.
Well, the information I gathered is a bit messy, it includes all sorts of things.
Some say she's extremely arrogant and ignorant, others say she's actually incompetent. Some say she has a soft temper.
But nothing seemed like the news that came from the Imperial Guards recently; this man had driven away more than forty people at once.
They didn't just drive them away; some were sold to brothels, others to join the army. Some were even beaten and thrown out.
Three people have died, and it's uncertain whether the other two will survive the winter.
It is also said that the concubine from the Meng family who offended her was eventually deposed by her.
Anyway, there's a lot of information, and some of it might be untrue, but everyone knows that this person is ruthless.
Yan Nangui changed into some lighter clothes, since she knew she wouldn't see the Crown Prince today anyway. She didn't care.
"Who is the head maid of Jiyue Pavilion?" she asked as she sat down.
A clever maidservant had already served her a hot cup of red date and longan tea. The incident involving Consort Yan had caused quite a stir, so it was common knowledge that she had been forced to have an abortion and nearly lost her life.
Therefore, offering these is the right thing to do.
A maid who looked to be around twenty years old stepped forward: "Reporting to Mistress Liangyuan, I am Xia Yu, the head maid who was assigned here."
The rest of the people knelt down with her, a total of ten people.
Before the lady, there were two first-class servants, four second-class servants, and four rough servants.
This setup is clearly correct. However, she brought her own people, which exceeds the limit.
“Chanyi and Luokui are my personal maids, so they are naturally first-class. Of the ten of you, those who are first-class can go back. The rest of you, just follow the rules,” Yan Nangui said.
The woman named Xia Yu hurriedly replied, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess has instructed us to keep any personal attendants you bring with you, and there is absolutely no reason for you to return."
"Since that's the case, then you can all stay. And you can change your names too." Yan Nangui thought for a moment and said, "You can be called Jiangxiang."
Xia Yu hurriedly kowtowed to thank his master for bestowing a name upon him. From then on, he was called Jiangxiang.
"You few, Yuanhua, Suye, Zelan, Sangzhi, Zicao, Huaimi, and the other three old women, you don't need to change your names, just call them by their surnames." Old women are just menial servants.
Everyone thanked her profusely.
"As for how to serve, I don't know as much as you do. Just do your job. Since Jiangxiang is the head maid, she will continue to be in charge. She will also be a first-class maid. If the manor doesn't provide your first-class monthly allowance, I will. The same as my two maids," Yan Nangui said.
Jiang Xiang was overjoyed and quickly thanked her.
Yan Nangui waved his hand, and Luo Kui hurriedly distributed the rewards. It was a generous reward, and everyone was delighted. They repeatedly thanked Liangyuan.
