Jiang Xuening stayed in the room obediently for three days, and the Duke's wife finally summoned her.

The Duke's wife took her hand and pointed to the two sets of clothes in the maid's hand, "These are new clothes for tomorrow's flower viewing party. Xuening can choose the one she likes."

The flower-viewing banquet hosted by the Xia family's legitimate daughter and the noble Duke's wife, and of course the banquet for the noble ladies of the clan in Jiangnan's officialdom, was a good time to stir up trouble!

Jiang Xuening glanced briefly and pointed at the bright red one, "I want that one."

The Duke's wife said with a smile, "Dress up nicely tomorrow. The second lady of the Jiang family will also come."

She only said this sentence and said no more. She has been given the opportunity. Whether she can seize it depends on whether she is smart enough.

The next day, Jiang Xuening was woken up early to dress up.

Caiyue personally gave her a beautiful hairstyle and brought a set of golden butterfly chains. The exquisitely crafted butterflies were wrapped around the hair and lifelike.

She is wearing the gorgeous and elegant Yunyan Ruanluo dress she chose last night. The layers of the skirt are so beautiful.

If Jiang Xuening was a fair-skinned and beautiful girl, this bright and breathtaking outfit would be extremely beautiful.

It's a pity that the person in the mirror is thin and dark, so dressing up like this makes her look more like a clown.

Caiyue looked at her at a loss, "Miss, let me comb your hair again."

Jiang Xuening looked at herself in the mirror and said, "No, it's fine just like this."

She wanted to give Mrs. Jiang Er a "surprise."

Soon Mu Pingting came to her with cheerful steps, "Mom asked me to come over and take you with me."

She was stunned by Jiang Xuening's outfit, and pretended to be calm and took the initiative to hold her hand, "Let's go."

The flower banquet was placed in Qinfang Garden. Qin Weiyun, the second wife of Jiang, was sitting in the middle with her legitimate daughter, talking quietly to the lady next to her.

The wife of the governor of Jiangnan smiled and talked to the Duke's wife, "Why don't you see Pingting?"

The Duke's wife smiled fondly, "She went to find her new sister. She will be here soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mu Pingting, wearing a goose-yellow gauze skirt, walking lively and briskly with a girl on her arm, "Mom, I'm bringing my sister."

Everyone's eyes were attracted to the girl next to her. Her brightly dressed and dark figure couldn't hold up at all, and it just made people feel weird.

When did Jiangnan have such a girl?

Concerned about the Duke's wife, everyone exchanged gossipy glances and suppressed the questions in their hearts without speaking.

Jiang Xuening shivered and called out, "Aunt Su Qiu," as if she was extremely uncomfortable with such a banquet.

The Duke's wife waved her to her side, "This child is the son of an old friend and has a hard life. If I hadn't saved him by chance, he would have died long ago."

The ladies present were all human beings, and none of them had come out of a fight in the back house. As soon as they heard this, they knew there was something good to watch today.

The prefect's wife spoke politely, "Poor child, I don't know which family she is from."

The Duke's wife smiled and patted her hand without saying a word.

Jiang Xuening wiped her eyes with the handkerchief dipped in "material", walked step by step to Mrs. Jiang Er, and looked at her timidly.

Mrs. Jiang Er's heart skipped a beat, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, "Girl, what is this?"

Jiang Xuening suddenly burst into tears and began to cry loudly, "Please, aunt, spare my life. I will be obedient..."

This sentence contained so much information that the banquet was completely silent. Qin Weiyun's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Jiang Yusheng stood up and said, "Girl, what are you talking about? We don't know you."

Ha, Jiang Xuening sneered in her heart and quickly took her hand, "Yusheng, I am your sister, don't you recognize me?"

Caught by her dead branch-like hands, Jiang Yusheng subconsciously shook her hand away as if it was stained with dirt, "I don't have a sister like you."

Jiang Xuening took advantage of the situation and fell to the ground, weak, pitiful and helpless.

"Oh, my mother is Gu Yuchan, and I am Jiang Xuening!"

Qin Weiyun's expression changed drastically, and he was suddenly confused.

Half of the ladies present had seen her as a child, soft and cute, completely different from the girl in front of her who looked like a beggar pushing her out.

Qin Weiyun took a step forward, showing a heartbroken look, "Is Xuening really you?"

Seeing that Qin Weiyun was about to perform the "deep love between mother and daughter" with her, she backed away in panic and begged tremblingly, "Auntie, please don't kill me. I will definitely be obedient..."

The anger in Qin Weiyun's eyes could hardly be suppressed. If today's incident was not handled well, her reputation would be completely ruined.

At this point, she could only grit her teeth and swallow the blood into her stomach, with a smile on her face, "You kid, what are you talking nonsense about? How could I kill you..."

Jiang Xuening cried and sobbed as she recounted what she had experienced in the past three years. The life of the rich lady was worse than that of a dog. Everyone looked at her with a bit of sympathy.

Qin Weiyun looked angry, "Those slaves dare to abuse you like this, I will never let them go!"

"But when Zhou Daming tried to drown me, he said that every injustice has its own owner, and that he blamed me for blocking other people's way. If he wanted to find me after I died, he would go to the Second Madam..."

Jiang Xuening cried heartbrokenly, but her mouth kept bashing. Qin Weiyun wanted to rush up and cover her mouth.

"Uuuu, no one has ever visited me in the past three years. Everyone in Zhuangzi said that Dad doesn't want me anymore..."

As she spoke, she "accidentally" exposed her scarred hands, confirming that she had been abused on Zhuangzi for three years.

Qin Weiyun was speechless for a moment and wished he could faint.

Jiang Yusheng's clear voice sounded from the side, "Sister, father sent you to Zhuangzi for your own good. Don't resent him..."

She would not give Jiang Yusheng a chance to confuse right and wrong, and looked at her with an innocent face, "So you don't give me food, and you make me kneel when I work every day. You said you want to sell me to a brothel because of me, okay?"

"You..." Jiang Yusheng's face turned red.

Jiang Xuening lowered her head and said sadly, "Then should I thank my father for his kindness?" Then he murmured, "So this is what a good father is like..."

If this word gets out, Jiangzhou's official career will come to an end. The stain of torturing and killing the young daughter left behind by his legitimate wife is enough to finish him off in the officialdom.

Qin Weiyun quickly realized the seriousness of the matter and angrily said, "Yusheng, don't talk nonsense, I never meant this."

"Xue Ning is all a misunderstanding, and she is just being a slave to her master."

Jiang Xuening looked at her pitifully, "Does dad and madam want to kill me?"

Qin Weiyun was shaking with anger, if she dared to say yes. If she steps out of this yard, they will be finished.

"Xue Ning, you have suffered all these years because of my negligence and failure to discipline the people under you. Your father and I absolutely love you!"

There was a lady next to her who couldn't help but laugh out loud. Who didn't know that she, Qin Weiyun, was the aunt's superior, and that she would love the legitimate daughter left by her first wife, what a liar!

The laughter seemed to turn on a strange switch, and whispers rang out around him.

Qin Weiyun looked ugly. She had never been so embarrassed in her life like today!
