The sky outside the window was full of stars, but Xu Mansion was already busy.

Not for anything else, just because today is the day when Xu Rongrong returns home.

Xu Minmin yawned, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and entered the next room. She saw that her second sister Xu Yaoyao was already dressing up carefully.

She muttered: "Father, it's true, no one is allowed to sleep before dawn!"

Xu Yaoyao was sitting in front of the dressing table. Yu Jin, the girl next to her, was combing her hair, while she herself was slightly bowing her head to trim her nails that had just been dyed yesterday.

The nails are very short, and at first glance they don’t look like the hands of a lady from a wealthy family.

She trimmed carefully while listening to Xu Minmin's complaints.

After a moment, he smiled lightly: "Today is the day when the eldest sister returns home. She is now the wife of the Hou Mansion. Things are different now, so father should be more cautious."

"Bah!" Xu Minmin spat.

The life in Zhuangzi not only did not smooth out her edges, but actually taught her a lot of vulgar behaviors from her mother-in-law.

"Father is rushing to make arrangements, I'm afraid they may not come today." Xu Minmin sneered, the flickering candle made her face darker and darker, and made her look even more sarcastic.

"No way, how could the eldest sister insult my father's face like this?" Xu Yaoyao pretended to be surprised.

Xu Minmin looked coldly at the second sister in front of her who was accustomed to acting, and remembered that she was locked in the woodshed on the day of Xu Rongrong's wedding. She was not discovered until the people who were welcoming her had dispersed and people from the Lu family came to clean the other courtyard.

She was in a state of embarrassment after being harmed by Xu Rongrong that day, but today she still welcomes her home as if no one else is around. Do you really think others can't see the hatred in her eyes?

Xu Minmin didn't want to see her pretentious, so she changed the topic: "The girl next to my sister is getting better and better at her skills. Why don't she help me comb my hair soon? My sister also knows that there is no one around me to help comb my hair."

Yuxin, the girl who had been with Xu Minmin before, was taken over by a man from the village in the second month after following Xu Minmin to the village. Xu Minmin couldn't protect herself at that time, and she couldn't care about others, so she decided to make the decision. He rewarded the man with the words to fill his house.

When Xu Minmin returned home a few days ago, Yuxin couldn't bear being teased by her husband, so he cried and begged her to take him back with her.

But Xu Minmin thinks that she is a young lady who has not yet left the court. How can she be accompanied by a married woman? Not only did he not agree, but he also told Yu Xin's man. In a rage, the man from the village beat Yu Xin until he couldn't get out of bed.

After Xu Minmin returned home, Xu Yaoyao briefly asked about Yuxin, only said a few words of pity, and then nothing more happened.

Not even a word was mentioned about reassigning a big girl to Xu Minmin.

Nowadays, the affairs in Xu Minmin's room are taken care of by the second-class girls in Bai Cuiyuan.

Today, she asked Yu Jin to comb her hair in front of Xu Yaoyao, just to get Xu Yaoyao to arrange someone for her as soon as possible.

But who is Xu Yaoyao...

She looked at her combed hair in the mirror and responded with a smile: "You and my sister, what else do you need to say? I'll let Yu Jin go over and comb your hair later."

A light sentence, as if you can't understand Xu Minmin's voice-over.

"Then thank you second sister." After saying that, Xu Minmin sneered and walked away.

Yu Jin looked at the back of Third Miss as she stepped out of the threshold, and hesitated: "Second Miss, slave..."

"Go ahead." Xu Yaoyao patted her hand comfortingly, "Zuo just helped her comb her hair. She can't cause trouble in the Bai Cui Courtyard."

Yu Jin's face turned gloomy: "Yes."

It is true that in the Patriot Courtyard, the third lady will not cause too much trouble with the second lady, but even if the master does not make trouble, there are still many ways to make the girl's life difficult.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, a loud slap was heard from Xu Minmin's room:

"You bitch! You broke my hair!"

"Snapped!"

"You bitch, you hurt me!"

Although Yu Ji did not say a word, everyone in Bai Cuiyuan knew that this morning would be difficult for her.

Xu Yaoyao lowered his eyebrows as he listened to the sounds outside.

She looked at her neatly manicured nails, turned over her hand, and gently blew on the blood stains on her fingertips that had not yet dissipated.

Those were the scars she made in the woodshed of Zhuxiang Yayuan.

That day, all her long green nails were broken. Even so, she couldn't get anyone to open the door for her.

Very good, Xu Rongrong...

you are fine!

……

At the beginning of the morning, people from the Xu Mansion were already waiting in the front hall.

Xu Chaoqian hurriedly asked for leave and returned home after finishing ordering from the Ministry of Household Affairs today.

He is now the prefect of Weizhou in exile. He could only return to Beijing for a short time because Xu Rongrong got married. Although he went to Hubu Dianmao to see each other every day when he was in Beijing, in fact, no one could make friends with him.

He will return to Weizhou in three days. If he wants to stay in the capital, today is his only chance!

As long as Mu Rong is willing to stand up for him, it will not be difficult for him to continue to be a Beijing official.

He has no hope for his daughter, but if he asks his son-in-law in person, he doesn't believe that the other party will refute his face.

The family waited until three o'clock, but still no one came from the Hou Mansion.

Xu Minmin has said something strange and sinister several times, and Xu Chaoqian's face is getting more and more ugly!

"Father, I'm afraid the eldest sister won't be here today. Regarding the upgrading of my son's academy... I guess she won't be willing to help." Xu Ming looked at his father.

On the day Xu Rongrong got married, his father urged him in every possible way to talk to the dignitaries who came to watch the ceremony.

But that day, from beginning to end, no one wanted to pay attention to him at all.

My father said that there is still a chance today.

As long as he can show his talent in front of the Marquis, he will definitely help him get promoted to the Bishui Hall of Baiyang Academy as soon as possible!

But looking at the situation today... my wish is just wishful thinking.

Xu Chaoqian was already waiting impatiently, but when he heard his son say this, he became even more angry: "This unruly beast! I'll just pretend that I never gave birth to this daughter!"

After saying that, he stood up and was about to walk away.

But the next moment, I saw Manager Xu rushing over with a smile on his face: "Come on, come on! Someone from the Hou Mansion is here, and they have brought a lot of gifts!"

Xu Chaoqian's expression suddenly changed: "Seriously?"

"It's absolutely true! My young lady and the Marquis, how can I admit my mistakes?" Manager Xu said with a smile on his face.

Xu Chaoqian immediately put on a smiling face: "Hahahaha, I knew that this girl has me as her father in her heart!"

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Let's go to the door to welcome the guests!"

Xu Minmin looked at her father with shock on her face - is this the same person who scolded Xu Rongrong just now?

Xu Yaoyao, on the other hand, followed Xu Chaoqian with a calm expression.

Very good. I was really afraid that you wouldn't come today.
