On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, just as dawn broke, Yin and Qingyan took the three children to the main hall. Qingyan walked along the familiar corridor, feeling very happy, with a smile constantly on her face.
"Mother, are you very happy today?" Yiken asked, looking at Qingyan with a puzzled expression.
Inside the mansion, Qingyan was also very happy, but not like she was now.
"Of course, this is where Mother lived for more than ten years!" In Qingyan's mind, it seemed as if she was recalling the years she lived here. Every New Year, she would go from here to Fei Yanggu's study to pay her respects.
In the dining room, Jue Luo was watching her two daughters-in-law prepare breakfast. Yesterday, when they returned from their parents' home, they heard that Yin and Qingyan were staying at the new house, and their faces showed surprise.
They all knew that the Fourth Prince Consort was their sister-in-law, and that Prince Yong was devoted to her. In addition, the Ulanara family had a good reputation; neither Saituo nor Eshuo had concubines, which made them the envy of the women in the family.
"Greetings to the Fourth Princess Consort!" The two daughters-in-law were married when Qingyan went to Guangdong and Guangxi, and were considered to be well-matched with Ulanara.
"My two sisters-in-law, please get up quickly, you're really making me feel bad!" Qingyan looked at her two sisters-in-law and saw that they were both kind people, without the tendency of ordinary girls to fight amongst themselves.
The two sisters-in-law exchanged a glance. Qingyan wasn't as arrogant as outsiders said. It seemed that these people must have misunderstood Qingyan.
"Suzhu, bring up those two sets of jewelry!" Qingyan had specially prepared two sets of jewelry with auspicious meanings and handed them to his two sisters-in-law.
"This..." Lady Saito looked at the precious headdress in front of her and looked directly in the direction of the Jue Luo clan.
"Keep them, Xiao Guai doesn't need these things!" Jue Luo Shi was very grateful to see her daughter treating her two sisters-in-law so well.
"Thank you so much, sister-in-law, you've gone to so much trouble!" Both of Saituo's and Eshuo's wives were tactful and spoke with gratitude in their voices.
"I want to thank my two sisters-in-law. You have taken such good care of Father and Mother. Even if it wasn't hard work, you have certainly done a lot. I can only express my gratitude with these mundane gifts!" Qingyan smiled.
The two sisters-in-law quickly expressed their gratitude. Both of them came from prominent families, and neither of them expected Qingyan to be so kind.
“Your eldest sister-in-law is Ga Lu, and your second sister-in-law is Buyechuke,” Jue Luo Shi said quickly as she watched Yin go to the study.
"Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I was with Grandpa at the naval port when you got married, so I couldn't come back for your wedding. However, I did send over the gifts!" Qingyan liked her two sisters-in-law very much.
“Master said that Fourth Master’s important business is important.” Ga Lu said to Qing Yan. She had never met Qing Yan before and was very nervous. Sai Tuo had also told her that her sister was a very easy person to get along with.
Before meeting Qingyan, Ga'lu was still worried. But after chatting with Qingyan, she realized that she had been overthinking things.
"Sister-in-law, I'll be staying at home for the next few days, thank you for your help!" Qingyan said a few polite words. Since she was staying at home, she definitely needed to explain things clearly to Sou Azi.
"You're being too polite, sister-in-law. I'd be happier if you could stay at home all the time!" Garu smiled, pursing his lips.
"That won't do, Master will be furious!" Qingyan found his sister-in-law amusing; she spoke without thinking in front of his people.
"Eldest daughter, what are you saying!" Jue Luo was speechless. What Garu said was sure to hit a nerve with Yin.
"Mother, don't talk about sister-in-law. You're making me a little tempted. If only I could stay at home!" Qingyan really likes staying at home. Every time she's at the Prince's Mansion, she acts like the mistress of the house. Apart from acting cute with Yin, she relies on her for everything else.
Jue Luo shook her head helplessly. Among the royal sisters-in-law, which one was as leisurely as Qingyan? Didn't they all have various things to deal with? Besides, which household only had one female member?
"Little sister-in-law, have you heard that when Eighth Prince's wife went back to her parents' home, she changed into an old winter outfit?" Buyechuk said to Qingyan, "Mother..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Buyechuk remembered that her mother-in-law was also from the Gioro clan.
"Didn't I tell you to go to your parents' home and find out about Jue Luo's affairs? What are you hiding here for? Tell me clearly what's going on." Although Jue Luo doesn't care much about her parents' home anymore, she hopes that her parents' home can be better.
After Buyechuk saw that he had explained things to her, the four of them went to sit down in the flower hall next door.
"When I returned, I happened to see the second master of the Jue Luo family, looking at the things that the Eighth Prince's wife had brought back at the gate. In their mansion, the youngest son is a good-for-nothing. He only comes to the old house when he wants something, and he never goes there at other times." Buyechuk explained the details one by one.
When the Eighth Prince's wife returned, all her brothers came back and gathered at her parents' home. This scene surprised the Eighth Prince's wife greatly. Later, she realized that her brothers had not returned to support her, but rather to ask Yinsi for favors.
"I heard that Eighth Prince didn't go back to his wife's family home with Eighth Prince's wife?" Ga Lu asked suspiciously.
“Of course, if we could have gone back to my parents’ home together, none of this would have happened!” Buyechuk quickly said.
At her maternal home, the Eighth Prince's wife held a low status. She was not even given proper greetings at the gate. She was surrounded by royal maids, which ruined the rules of the Jue Luo clan and the reputation of the girls.
As a result, Lady Jueluo did not realize that she was wrong. Instead, she thought that her daughter was incompetent, so the Eighth Prince's absence from the house thwarted all her plans.
"No way, how could there be such parents?" Ga Lu was shocked. In this way, they were completely using the Eighth Prince's wife as a stepping stone, without even considering that she might be punished by Yin Si after returning home.
"Hehe, of course, I heard it all. Those brothers all said that Eighth Prince's wife is too dull, and that the noble lady in the family is better than Eighth Prince's wife. If Eighth Prince comes, he will definitely take a liking to her!" Buyechuk's words stunned Qingyan.
Isn't this a self-made pillowcase?
“This family’s rules are really not right, Mother. Should we send two nannies over? If your family’s reputation is ruined, it won’t be good for you!” Qingyan asked Jue Luo Shi.
"No need. I've been married for decades. If I still need to guard against such a small thing, I would be truly incompetent," Lady Ulanara shook her head.
The maternal family has indeed declined with each generation. The noble ladies of this generation have been taught to be very fond of power, so they will do other things.
