Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

The other party also saw Xie Zhaozhao.

The man looked her up and down, a flash of surprise in his eyes, but his expression remained the same.

When Xie Zhaozhao saw her brother again, her eyes were a little hot, but since the man was present, she called him openly, "Brother."

"Sister, are you going out?"

Xie Yu was delighted when she saw her younger sister. Her mother had passed away when her younger sister was born. She had been well-behaved and sensible since she was young. At a young age, she had excellent appearance and virtues.

Xie Zhaozhao lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, then said calmly, "Brother, grandma asked me to meet the guests in the mansion, so I'll take my leave first."

With the man outside present, she couldn't stay for long, so after replying, she took small steps back and left.

Xie Yu looked at his sister walking away, feeling slightly annoyed.

Today is the first time that Lord Gu has come to the mansion. If he had known that his sister was going to his grandmother's Wutong Garden from here, he would not have taken Lord Gu to visit the garden.

Gu Shaoyu looked at Xie Zhaozhao who was walking away quickly, and the corners of his lips curled up.

The eldest daughter of the Xie family was indeed a lady from a prestigious family. She walked with an upright posture, and each step was measured to the last inch; the hairpins and earrings on her head were almost motionless.

Guanyin is dignified, and peony is stunningly beautiful.

Guanyin noodles are indeed worthy of their reputation.

Out of respect for her reputation, he said nothing.

If my guess is correct, the guests she is going to meet are the old lady and the wife of the Marquis of Pingyang, right?

When Xie Zhaozhao walked outside Wutong Garden, he happened to meet Xie Xiangxiang who was also coming to the grandmother's courtyard.

The maid at the door immediately went in to report: "The eldest and second young ladies are here."

Madam Tu was in the main hall of Wutong Garden, watching a pair of sisters coming over from afar with mixed feelings.

The eldest daughter was tall and wore an apricot-yellow round-necked jacket with peony embroidery, a moon-colored cross-collared coat, a peach-pink peony long skirt, and a bright red peony flower cloak.

Her color is like the morning glow reflecting on the snow, and like lotus emerging from the water; her hair is like spring clouds, her eyes are like autumn waves, and her mouth is like red cherry.

People say that Xie's eldest daughter has a face like Guanyin, and this is true.

The second young lady, Xie Xiangxiang, wore a peony-flowered gold-snow satin jacket with intricate patterns embroidered on the collar, a pink brocade skirt, and pearls in her hair, shaped like a phoenix hairpin, were shiny and round.

The two beauties of the Xie family are noble ladies from the capital.

Madam Tu was unwilling to accept this. The eldest daughter was not happy with her and the second daughter was said to marry the grandson of Prince Jing.

Both young ladies are destined to have no chance to be with their sons.

"Zhao Zhao, Xiang Xiang, come and meet the old lady and the Marquis' wife."

Stepmother Xu also had a complicated look in her eyes. She looked at Xie Zhaozhao calmly for a few times, and then affectionately asked the two young ladies to greet the guests.

Xie Zhaozhao politely saluted Tu, with full etiquette, without fawning or conceit, and was as noble as a fairy in the clouds.

Tu was so angry that he dared not even breathe a word, and felt humble and submissive in his heart.

Xie Xiangxiang, on the other hand, smiled brightly and politely saluted Tu, saying, "It's still chilly in spring, aunt, please take care of yourself."

Her kindness and humble attitude made Tu's skin, which had been suppressed by Xie Zhaozhao, relax immediately, and she felt a little annoyed with Xie Zhaozhao.

Madam Hou looked at Xie Zhaozhao several times with her shrewd old eyes and said lovingly, "Good boy, sit down and talk."

Xie Zhaozhao and Xie Xiangxiang sat in Wutong Garden for a quarter of an hour, and then their grandmother asked them to go back.

After leaving Wutong Garden, Xie Xiangxiang was in a good mood. She accompanied Xie Zhaozhao to look at the flourishing pear blossoms in the yard from the corridor.

"Eldest sister, I heard that the Living Buddha came to the mansion today?"

Xie Zhaozhao smiled lightly, avoided the topic, and only asked: "When will the engagement letter be exchanged for the grandson of Prince Jing that mother is looking for for sister?"

"My mother said she would ask more about this."

"Prince Jing's mansion is rich and prominent, and he has been honored and favored constantly. It must be very good."

Xie Xiangxiang's face instantly showed anger and ridicule: "What's so good about him? He's just outwardly outwardly clever but actually secretive! He visits prostitutes, walks his dog, and spends the whole day either in gambling houses or in brothels. If you really marry someone like this, you'll be unlucky for the rest of your life."

Xie Zhaozhao pursed her lips and smiled, "The daughter of the Xie family is marrying into the Prince Jing's mansion, which is a high-ranking marriage. No matter what, if she marries him, she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, and her status will be noble. I will have to bow to you when I see you in the future!"

Xie Xiangxiang paused, swallowed what she wanted to say, and said to Xie Zhaozhao: "Eldest sister, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

Xie Zhaozhao reached out and took a piece of snow-white pear blossom, her eyes and brows were gentle, and she was not surprised by fame or disgrace.

When they returned to the yard, the maid Manman came back from outside and gave a stack of account books to Xie Zhaozhao.

In the morning, Xie Zhaozhao asked her to bring the account books of the shops in East City and West City.

These shops were my mother's dowry. After my mother passed away, they were handed over to Aunt Xu, who was brought from my maternal grandmother's family.

Although my stepmother, Xu, was my mother's illegitimate sister, it was Nanny Xu who had always been in charge of my mother's dowry.

When Xie Zhaozhao was eight years old, Nanny Xu taught her how to manage the household and the shop.

The sunlight shone through the window onto her white hands, and the dust floated up and down in the sunlight, just like Xie Zhaozhao's face, which was always dignified, graceful and peaceful in the sunlight.

At the beginning of noon, Yuanyuan, who had been wandering around Wutong Garden to gather information, returned to the yard with a strange look on her face.

"Miss, what do you think the second young lady means? She is actually pestering Madam to marry the son of the Marquis of Pingyang!"

I heard from the maid in the lady's courtyard that Xie Xiangxiang woke up early in the morning and suddenly ran to her mother's courtyard, insisting on canceling the marriage proposal from Prince Jing's mansion and marrying the son of Marquis Pingyang.

The Pingyang Marquis's Mansion is not well-off. If the old Marquis of Pingyang had not saved Xie Zhaozhao's grandfather's life, how could the Xie family have married their legitimate daughter to the Marquis's Mansion?

Xu tried every possible means to secure a place in Prince Jing's Mansion for her biological daughter. However, when it came to the day to exchange the engagement letter, Xie Xiangxiang refused to do so.

No matter how Xu tried to persuade her, she refused, so she slapped her hard.

"The second young lady threatened to die, saying that if Madam stopped her from marrying into the Marquis's mansion, she would ruin her happiness for the rest of her life. She also said that the Marquis of Pingyang's son had caught the Crown Prince's eye and would surely rise to prominence. If she married him, he would be granted a first-rank imperial decree, and Madam Qing would wait to become the Duke's mother-in-law. Is she hysterical?"

Manman was also surprised: "Hasn't she always mocked young ladies for marrying down? Why is she trying to snatch them away again?"

"Let her be." Xie Zhaozhao said softly, "I don't want to have anything to do with the Prince of Pingyang."

Gu Chengyan, just a pair of worn-out shoes she discarded!

At noon, Xie Xiangxiang brought a basket of apricots to Xie Zhaozhao, and her eyes could not hide her pride and embarrassment.

"Eldest sister, the marriage has been decided."
