Main courtyard, inner room.

"Fifth Lady, although she is still young and very immature," Mama Liu said with a smile, "there is a hint of sadness between her eyebrows and eyes. She is a sickly beauty, with some of the beauty of Madam Lou."

Among the concubines of the Ruan family, Concubine Xu was the most beautiful and eye-catching. She looked as beautiful as a flower. She also loved to wear fine clothes and was so beautiful that she was almost vulgar.

Aunt Lou is a completely different kind of beauty. She is like a bright moon hanging in the night sky, emitting a soft and gentle light, and the clear moon reflects the snow. People often say that beauty does not need to be dressed up. She usually dresses simply, but her jade-like beauty is even more prominent.

In front of Mrs. Ji's eyes, Ruan Yuluan's beautiful profile, as beautiful as a silver plate, appeared involuntarily.

But he was timid, and even when he raised his eyes there was a hint of fear.

She couldn't help but sigh softly, "Let's wait and see."

The four concubines of the Ruan family are still young and it is hard to tell what they are like.

"It's that bitch Xu Qingyan..." Ji's expression revealed a mixture of anger and pride, "She said that I didn't care about the Fifth Lady, but she loved to worry about the mistress. Now the Fourth Lady has been confined, which is a disgrace to them and their mother!"

"Yes," Mother Liu couldn't help but sigh, "Looking at the Fifth Lady who is silent, she seems to be quite shrewd."

Ji recalled the sight of the Fifth Lady yesterday, who looked so thin and pitiful, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Let Chunxiao go over and let Fifth Lady serve me. This will prevent people from saying that I am a mean illegitimate daughter!"

Hearing this, Mama Liu couldn't help but say, "Chunxiao is still very young, two years younger than Dongyu, the girl in Fifth Lady's room right now. I'm afraid she won't be able to help."

"Then who do you think is suitable to go?"

Mother Liu smiled.

"I dare not make the decision for you, Madam, but I think Qiu Xiu is smart and steady, so she might be more suitable."

Madam Ji couldn't help but frown slightly and repeated, "Qiu Xiu?"

But this girl was extremely beautiful, and she had originally wanted to keep her as a useful girl and transfer her to the eldest master's courtyard to serve...but now she couldn't keep up with the changes. She thought about it carefully and realized that the main courtyard was not the place she was used to serving, so there were only some little maids left who did the rough work and were clumsy.

It seems that Qiu Xiu is the only one who is suitable.

"Well... let her serve Fifth Lady."

The next day, during the morning and evening visits, Ji's brows couldn't help but soften. She glanced at Aunt Xu, who was playing with her handkerchief with her head down, and talked about something with a smile.

"Speaking of which, the Duke Xuan's Mansion will hold a flower-viewing banquet at the beginning of next month." Her eyes turned around and fell on three of them. "The third lady, the fifth lady, and the sixth lady will go with me."

This combination was quite novel. Usually, the third and fourth ladies went, and the sixth lady was only eight or nine years old, so she was obviously just a bystander.

The main guests were still the Third Lady and the Fifth Lady. However, the Third Lady had been to the banquet several times, so the Fifth Lady was probably invited this time just to let her see the world.

Aunt Xu knew very well that this was a slap in the face deliberately given by the mistress, and her expression became a little colder.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but give Ruan Yuluan a reminder in a sweet voice as she passed by her.

"Fifth Lady has never been out of the house or attended any banquets. You must be careful in every way, so as not to lose face for our Ruan family."

This remark was a mockery of her being unpresentable and implying that she would make a fool of herself.

The girl raised her eyes and spoke slowly and calmly.

"Thank you for your reminder, Auntie. I'll keep it in mind."

Her reply made Aunt Xu feel like she had punched cotton, which was quite boring.

Aunt Xu twisted her slender waist, hummed softly, turned around and left.
