The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

The master and servant came to a bush of peonies that were about to bloom. Qingyun found a blooming purple-red flower from among the numerous buds and showed it to her with a smile.

"Look, my lady, this flower has bloomed."

Jiang Muxia snorted lightly and turned to look at the round-faced girl who had been following her. The little girl was standing on tiptoe and stretching her head to look in the direction Qingyun pointed.

Seeing Jiang Muxia looking at her, she smiled generously and told her name.

"My name is Qi Sifang, and my aunt is the wife of the Sixth Master of the Marquisate."

Jiang Muxia nodded gently. Last night, she asked Nanny Jiang about the origins of the several branches in the Marquis's mansion and the family of his wife.

The girl in front of you has an aunt, Madam Qi Liu, who married the Sixth Master, who was born out of wedlock to the Marquis’s family.

The Qi family was a wealthy merchant family in the Wu Dynasty. It seemed like a high-class marriage for a merchant's daughter to marry into a marquis's mansion, but in fact, Mr. Xue Liu got a great advantage. Mrs. Qi was the legitimate daughter of the family, and the dowry she brought was quite generous.

Mr. Xue Liu obeyed Madam Qi's every word and had his own small business. His room was clean and he lived the best life in his lifetime in the Marquis's mansion.

"Miss Qi, why are you following me?"

The little girl blushed and stammered, too embarrassed to speak.

Jiang Muxia did not urge her, but looked at her with a smile. This little girl had clear eyes and a simple mind. She liked her the first time she saw her, and she was willing to listen to her.

The girl looked around and blushed as she asked, "I want to ask Madam Tang Er, if I have feelings for Mr. Yi, how can I make him notice me and how can I make him stay loyal to me."

After Qi Sifang finished speaking, her face turned as red as a ripe fruit. She lowered her head and dared not look at her again.

Qingyun was frightened by her straightforwardness, but was only surprised for a moment and did not show any contempt.

"Have you ever met that gentleman? How did he react to you?"

"This..." Qi Sifang's face tightened, remembering that when she greeted that man, he just looked at her coldly and was unwilling to say a word to her.

Jiang Muxia understood when she saw her expression. It was obvious that the concubine had feelings for him, but the husband was not interested.

Seeing the sad expression on the little girl's face, she didn't want to say anything harsh that would make her even sadder.

"Well, let me put it this way. If he is interested in you, he will definitely find a way to find you. If he is not interested, even if you stay in front of him every day, he will not pay any attention to you. Girl, you can't force fate. You are still young, and you will definitely meet a man of your dreams who will hold you in his hands."

Qi Sifang asked doubtfully with sadness in her eyes: "Really? Is it because I'm not good enough that..."

"No, you are very good, and I like you very much. Silly child, don't think that someone ignores better people just because he or she is cold to you. I think you are a sincere child, and you will definitely be loved by your family. As long as you treat others sincerely, the rest will be left to time."

Because Jiang Muxia liked her, she was very patient and talked to her a lot. Qingyun was afraid that she would be tired, so she advised her to rest on the lazy bench under the corridor.

Seeing that she looked tired, Qi Sifang thanked her and left.

Jiang Muxia didn't expect that he would see this girl again in Suanzao County a few years later.

She came with her younger brother to propose marriage.

She sat on the porch, looking at the flowers and plants in the yard, feeling the warmth of spring, and smilingly discussed with Qingyun about returning to Suanzao County to clean up the empty space in the backyard and plant some flowers and plants. When the flowers bloomed, they would also organize a flower viewing banquet.

The two were talking animatedly when a shadow loomed over her and a hand pulled her upright.

When she smelled the person behind her, she knew it was Tang Zhongbai.

With a look of surprise on her face, she asked, "This is the back garden, all of us are women, why are you here?"

Tang Zhongbai looked nervous and looked her up and down, "Are you okay?"

Jiang Muxia brushed off the grass leaves stuck on his collar and said with a smile, "What can happen to me? How many people in the whole mansion can get close to me?"

Tang Zhongbai looked at her slightly bulging belly and scolded her with a sullen face, "In the future, if you encounter such a thing, just leave it to Qingyun. Why bother to argue with them and make yourself angry."

When he looked up, he found that all the ladies in the garden were looking at him. He frowned and glanced at them coldly. He lowered his head and said to Jiang Muxia in a gentle voice: "How about I take you back? This kind of banquet is really boring."

Jiang Muxia was about to persuade him when that familiar clear voice sounded again.

Aunt Fang came from one end of the corridor with two maids. She could smell a strong scent of powder from afar, which made her cough lightly and rub her nose with her hand.

But after a while, Aunt Fang changed into a pink hibiscus patterned silk dress and wore a golden crabapple tasseled hairpin on her head. Her makeup was more refined than before, her eyebrows and eyes were redrawn, and her cherry lips were re-applied with bright red lip balm, which made her skin look whiter.

For some reason, Jiang Muxia just couldn't like this woman from the bottom of his heart.

Today was a banquet held by the old lady in the mansion, and a concubine like her should not show up in public. She had said it in a high-sounding manner to save the mansion, but it was a huge joke when she said it.

If she really cared about Marquis Chengyang, she would consider him in every way. She should stay in her own yard today.

But she still came out and jumped around in a big way, relying on her favor and believing that the old lady and the lady could do nothing to her.

This kind of person who doesn't know when to advance or retreat is exposed here.

Jiang Muxia saw her looking at Tang Zhongbai without any scruples with spring in her eyes.

It made her feel a little disgusted.

Aunt Fang chuckled, "I heard that Mr. Tang holds his wife in the palm of his hand. Today, I see that it is indeed true. It is really enviable."

Qingyun took a step forward to stand in front of the two masters and said with a smile: "Please forgive Aunt Fang, my wife is pregnant and cannot smell too strong fragrance. Aunt Fang's body is too sweet, I am afraid that it will hurt the baby in my wife's belly, so my wife will not accompany you."

Having said that, she was about to help Jiang Muxia leave.

Aunt Fang said calmly, "Well, there was a banquet at home today, so I put more perfume on my body. I was careless and forgot that Madam Tang was pregnant. Don't move, I'll go somewhere else."

Before she left, she did not forget to wink at Tang Zhongbai and said to Jiang Muxia, "I like Madam Jiang's personality very much. I will visit you at your house another day."

Tang Zhongbai's face suddenly turned dark.

Seeing the person walking away, Qingyun cursed at her back: "Bah, you have no shame."

Jiang Muxia thought of what she had said to Xu Wanhua, and burst out laughing, teasing Qingyun, "Don't say that in front of her, or she might give you her face."

Qingyun's face fell and he spat, "Bah, I find it dirty."

After sending Tang Zhongbai away, the master and servant sat for a while, and then Liu Ying sent someone to call her to the old lady's yard for dinner.

Aunt Fang and Xu Wanhua were not seen at the banquet. When Mrs. Xu saw her again, her expression was indifferent. It seemed that the aunt and niece had talked to each other, and Xu Wanhua felt embarrassed and left early.

She didn't care and was pulled to the main table by the old lady. She stayed beside them and told her the jokes that old lady Yu Tang had told her, making her laugh heartily and praising her as a considerate and good child.

Liu Ying's mouth never slackened, and he ate half a bowl more than when he was at home.
