Yu Xiu went out to arrange things, and in the quiet room of the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang sighed softly after a long time: "Its still you three who think about things, not disappointing my good intentions." As soon as these words were heard, Xiao Jiang knelt down, and Mrs. Jiang looked at her shaking her head saying: "Get up! I didnt mean to blame you. I just couldnt help but sigh, all of you have been by my side since childhood, so I naturally treat you differently from others. Youve seen how humble my fathers concubine was in front of my mother.

  Alas, when I chose her to come with me that day, my mother privately told me that her temperament was too proud and not a down-to-earth person. At that time, I thought it was all because of my habituation to people, and leaving her alone at home would make her life difficult. Moreover, she cried in front of me and begged me, so I didnt want to abandon her and brought her along with me. Because of her appearance and character, I even carefully selected a servant for her from among the servants, but unfortunately, she had her mind set on pursuing glory and wealth.

  In the eyes of Madame Jiang, Xiaojiangs family slowly stood up, bowed and stood behind her, saying softly: "Master, your kindness and benevolence are well known to us. Guiyu doesnt understand, dont worry about her again." Madame Jiang shook her head and said: "She became a concubine, had Yuqing, she was more docile. I watched her accompany me for those days, I wont let her suffer either. Now, its all ruined by herself, also affecting Yuqings future."

  Madam Jiang mentioned Guiyu, thinking of Jiang Anhes temperament, she shook her head slightly and said in a low voice: "My mother said it right, for the legitimate wife, the man really moving his heart is the most terrible place. Like this, from time to time favoring one or two people, is the root nature of men with status, cant be eliminated. Although the husband and wife of ordinary families may have many shortcomings, in this matter, women can still take charge of many things."

  Listening to Madam Jiangs sighs, Xiao Jiang thought of the beautiful and delicate girl she used to be before marriage, and smiled innocently: "Ill try my best to make sure he doesnt have so many people around him in the future." Her eyes suddenly felt hot, and she quickly blinked away tears, smiling: "Master, look at the present situation - the eldest young master is engaged, and the second young masters marriage will also be arranged this year. The eldest miss has a gentle temperament similar to yours. There are great days ahead, waiting for you to experience them one by one."

  Madam Jiang, somewhat stirred up, smiled and said: "Look at me, what am I saying. The children growing up is my greatest joy. The concubines are obedient, the new girls, as long as theyre not momentarily reckless, being a bit arrogant, whats there to worry about? Have them come in, Ill ask them properly, whats going on with Concubine Guiyu?" Little Jiangs servant saw Madam Jiangs warm smile and hurried over, slightly lifting the thick door curtain, saying to the outside: "Are Jiyan and the others here? If they are, have them all come in together. The master has something to ask them."

  Yu Xiu replied from outside, "The auspicious words have arrived. Fang Zhengs family is following her. She asks the master to grant a favor, saying that Jiyu is too young and timid, wanting to follow her in to accompany her in answering the masters questions, fearing she wont understand and offend the master?" Xiao Jiangs family turned to look at Madame Jiang, seeing her slightly nodding her head, said to the outside, "Then let her come in together."

  Jiyuan tightly held her mothers hand, lowering her head as they entered the mistress room. She listened to her mother say to Mistress Jiang: "Thank you. The child doesnt understand things, causing trouble for both Master and Mistress Jiang." Before Jiyuan could react, she was gently pulled down by her mother. Remembering her mothers words, she let go of her mothers hand and immediately knelt down in front of the mistress, shaking her small body as she cried out: "Mistress, I wont greet the sisters or respond to their questions from now on. Please dont scold my mother."

  Mr. Fang looked at his daughter, stretched out his hand to touch her head, and said, "Its clear that you were wrong, why make a fuss?" But unexpectedly, his own daughter would do such a thing. She immediately knelt down and said, "Master, its my fault for not teaching her well." Madame Jiang had a smile in her eyes, gesturing to Xiao Jiang to help her up, and said lightly, "Good words are spoken in our courtyard, but she has been here for several months. Its Yu Xiu and the other maids who havent taught her well." Mr. Fang heard Madame Jiangs words and stood up straight at Xiao Jiangs gesture, but didnt dare say another word.

  The maid of Gui Yu Niang, with a cloth stuffed in her mouth, was pushed forward by the other maids. She saw Ji Yan kneeling there, his head bowed to the ground, and immediately softened, following suit and kneeling down. Yu Xiu signaled with her eyes for someone to remove the cloth from her mouth. After the maid knelt down, she slightly raised her eyes to look at the people on the main seat. Jiang Da Fu Ren saw her sly gaze, then looked again at Ji Yan who was about to fall to the ground and coldly said: "Tell me, how did Ji Yan provoke Gui Yu Niang to smash the new brides courtyard?"

  Ji Yan heard this and immediately looked up to respond. Yu Xiu, who was standing behind her, immediately used her foot to step on Ji Yans foot. Ji Yan continued to tremble with fear, staring at the ground. The little girl looked at Mrs. Jiang, whose face was as stern as water, and tearfully explained in a small voice: "I didnt say it was Ji Yan who provoked Auntie, I just said that Ji Yans words made Auntie angry."

  Tears instantly flowed from her eyes and slowly gathered on the ground, forming a small pool of water. She lowered her head and said: "I only saw this sister in the morning, I didnt see my aunt." Fang Zhengjia looked at Jiang Das expression, then listened to his own daughters words, immediately knelt beside her, covered her mouth with his hand, and bowed his head, looking at his tearful daughter, whose tears continued to fall.

  Madam Jiang looked at the three people kneeling in front of her, softened her tone and said to Xiaoyu: "You tell me what you and Jiyuan said, let me hear how Jiyuan offended Madame Guigui." Xiaoyu recounted the conversation she had with Jiyuan that morning, without leaving out a single word.

  Madam Jiang looked at Jiyuan and nodded towards Fang Zhengs house, asking: "Jiyuan, was what she said wrong?" Jiyuan lowered her head and said: "Sister is right, I was wrong. I shouldnt have listened to Yuxiu sisters words. In the courtyard, whenever I see someone older than me, I should take the initiative to greet them. Madam, I just thought that if I didnt do so, people would say that the people from your courtyard are so unrefined, and it would hurt you and the kindness that my sister taught me."

  Ji Yan continued to cry after finishing speaking. Under the indication of Jiang Dafu, Xiao Jiangjia and Yu Xiu went forward together. Xiao Jiangjia pulled her mother, while Yu Xiu personally came forward, helped Ji Yan up, and scolded her in a bad temper: "The master has not spoken yet, what do you have to be so wronged about as a little maid? You cry like this. We wasted our hearts teaching you for several months." While speaking, Yu Xiu casually pinched her, Ji Yan was shocked and looked up at her, then gave her a sharp glance that made her lower her head, listening to her lecture: "When the master speaks, just listen."

  Miss Jiangs family saw Miss Xiaos family personally supporting her, and she stood up straight with the momentum. She had just heard the maids words and immediately knew that there was no daughter of her own family, and she had only suffered a disaster for nothing. In her heart, she secretly resented Madame Guiyu for finding fault in everything to oppress these lower-class people, not even sparing their own young daughter. At the same time, she felt relieved that her own daughter, who had never been clever, this time spoke words that were extremely pleasant to hear and also knew how to flatter Mrs. Jiang and the people around her.
