Then, Ni Yueshan began to look around, and Ni Yueshuang's eyes were a little unhappy: "Sister, you got up so early, is it because this is not the general's mansion, so you are not used to living here?"
Ni Yueshan ignored Ni Yueshuang and just looked around like a country girl who had never seen the world.
"This screen looks quite nice," Ni Yueshan said as she reached out to touch it. The maid, Hua Wan, immediately stopped her, saying, "Miss, this was made by the renowned Treasure Pavilion in the imperial capital. There's only one of these, and it's priceless. Miss, you wouldn't even touch it."
So she'd better not touch it!
Ni Yueshan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air and then he retracted it.
A painting in the room caught her eye. She wanted to go forward and take a closer look, but Hua Wan said disdainfully, "This landscape painting is a unique piece that our young lady bought at a high price. The master painter has passed away and there are no more paintings. Therefore, this painting is a rare treasure in the world and is worth a fortune!"
Nature can't be touched...
Ni Yueshan smiled and said, "Second sister, there are so many precious things in your room. If you get married one day, don't take them with you. Otherwise, if you get divorced, it will be difficult to get the things back!"
Ni Yueshuang frowned. He cursed her and was divorced?
Seeing Ni Yueshuang's dissatisfied look, Ni Yueshan just chuckled, "Second sister, you have too many good things here. I originally wanted to ask you to go to my room to pick out a few things you like, but now it seems that I shouldn't show you that."
Ni Yueshan left, and Ni Yueshuang curled her lips coldly. She knew what Ni Yueshan's purpose was.
In Yu Shu Pavilion.
There are three daughters in the prime minister's mansion. Ni Yueshan was the first to come. Although Tian You was a concubine in the family, she was in charge of the household chores and the real power. In the eyes of the servants, she was the mistress and the mother of the family.
Tian You was a little surprised. "You got up early. Did you sleep well last night? Is the room arrangement to your liking?"
Ni Yueshan curled her lips and smiled, without the sharpness of yesterday. "Mrs. Tian's arrangements were naturally thorough. I was very happy yesterday and fell asleep early. I just went to my second sister's room and saw that the difference in treatment between legitimate and illegitimate children is really huge. I want to trade courtyards with my second sister!"
Ni Yueshan said it lightly, but Tian You's face darkened. "Jidong Pavilion is your courtyard! If there's anything you don't like, just tell me!"
"Sister, when you got married, you took away all the valuables in the room. Now that you've been divorced, you didn't take them back. Who can you blame?" Ni Yueshuang's voice arrived before her people did.
Yesterday, Ni Yingying reminded Ni Yueshan to correct the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and today Ni Yueshan used this issue to make trouble.
A hairpin and a pair of jade bracelets made Ni Yingying rebel.
Ni Yueshuang was still feeling contempt in her heart. She looked around and found that Ni Yingying had not arrived yet.
"So, the wealthy Prime Minister's Mansion can't properly accommodate a legitimate daughter? If people outside knew that I, a legitimate daughter, live in a room worse than a concubine's, I wonder if they would criticize Concubine Tian for being unfair in managing the affairs of the mansion? Or would they criticize the status of a divorced legitimate daughter as inferior to that of a concubine's daughter?"
Ni Yueshan looked at Tian You with a slight smile on his face, but his eyes were very unfriendly.
Tian You raised the corner of his lips slightly: "What Yue Shan said does make some sense. I was not thoughtful enough. When your father comes back, I will discuss with him how to rearrange your room."
"Thank you." Ni Yueshan said lightly and turned to leave.
As soon as Ni Yueshan left, Ni Yueshuang frowned, "Mother, she's clearly relying on her status to think she's a daughter of heaven! What legitimate child? Bah, she's just an ugly woman who's paying for me."
Tian You did not rebuke Ni Yueshuang for what she said, but was wondering in his heart why Ni Yueshuang's temperament had changed so much?
"Mom, Yingying is here to pay her respects to you."
In order to highlight Tian You's status, all the children in the family called Tian You "mother".
Ni Yingying appeared outside the door with a smile on her face. She was not dressed as elegantly as Ni Yueshuang, but looked pretty and charming, like a beautiful girl from a small family.
Seeing Ni Yingying bowing to salute, Ni Yueshuang slapped her in the face.
Ni Yingying's smile froze. She covered her cheek, which was hurt, and looked at Ni Yueshuang in surprise: "Second sister, what's wrong with you?"
"You bitch, Ni Yueshan called you over yesterday. What did you say to her? Did you tell her to correct the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children? You're so bold!"
There was a hint of ruthlessness on Ni Yueshuang's delicate face. Where was the submissiveness and obedience she showed when Ni Gaofei was around?
Tian You just calmly picked up the teacup and ignored it. The servants all lowered their heads and were silent.
Ni Yueshuang looked at Ni Yingying and did not see the so-called outstanding hairpin on her head. Ni Yueshuang's gaze moved down and landed on her wrist.
The emerald green color was hidden in her sleeves. She sneered, grabbed Ni Yueshuang's wrist and lifted it high.
A crystal jade bracelet, emerald green, appeared in her sight. "You didn't wear the hairpin, are you afraid of being discovered too obviously? Let me tell you, there are no secrets in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. For such a small amount of money, you gave advice to that ugly bastard? You are really brave!"
As she spoke, she pulled hard, Ni Yingying screamed in pain, and the jade bracelet fell into Ni Yueshuang's hands.
She pushed Ni Yingying to the ground. The pain made her eyes hot and tears fell uncontrollably. Her cheeks were red from being slapped, with the marks of five fingers clearly visible on them.
But she didn't dare to refute anything. She endured the pain and climbed up and knelt down: "Yingying knows she was wrong. Yingying will never dare to do it again!"
Tian You took a sip of tea and put the cup aside. She smiled gently and said, "You are almost coming of age. My nephew has had his eye on you for a long time. It just so happens that his wife has passed away, and now the position of wife is vacant. If you, a concubine's daughter, can marry him, it can be considered a closer relationship."
Ni Yingying's face turned pale instantly. "No, mother, Yingying knows I was wrong. Yingying will never dare to do it again. He, he has lost six wives in a row. This, this is said to be a wife-killer, but everyone knows in their hearts that it is just because he likes to abuse women and takes pleasure in it..."
Ni Yueshuang stroked the smooth and delicate surface of the jade bracelet and said, "Third sister, please don't be ungrateful. If you don't want to get married, that's fine. You can find someone to marry in your place."
Ni Yingying paused in her kowtow. Marrying in place of someone else?
Where can she find someone?
Ni Yingying seemed to have thought of something, her eyes lit up, "My, my maid!"
Ni Yueshuang snorted coldly: "Third sister, don't be silly, a maid is worthy of this?"
Ni Yingying looked at Ni Yueshuang in a daze. If the maid wasn't worthy, who should she find to marry her? The doubt lasted only a moment, and then Ni Yingying's face changed as she understood.
"Second sister, Yingying doesn't have that right!"
"How can there be none? Aren't mother and I here with me?" Ni Yueshuang patted Ni Yingying's face with her hand, and Ni Yingying couldn't help shaking.
They are pointing at Ni Yueshan!
