When Butler Hu finally expressed his concerns, Yuntang couldn't help but laugh.

"I used to wear gorgeous clothes and expensive jewelry, but they want to see me? Have they been to the family recognition banquet?"

"It's just a casual thing today. Whether they dislike it or not, it doesn't matter to me."

Yuntang smiled calmly, not caring at all.

Butler Hu had nothing more to say upon seeing this, so he bowed quickly and left.

When he saw the carriage coming back, he had already asked the doorman to report to the Marquis. He rushed up now just to inform the eldest lady and the second young master of the situation.

After Butler Hu left, Jiang Yanxuan glanced at Yuntang and said with a smile:

"Although I am also worried that if my sister refuses to come back, she will miss an opportunity to meet the king without going to the palace, but you don't need to worry about what my sister wears."

Today, my sister was in the Prince of Qi's mansion, in front of the Crown Prince, the Prince of Qi, the third prince, and the princesses. Wasn't she also wearing this simple Taoist robe?

The princes and princesses were all used to it, and it was obvious that my sister was like this in the palace.

Yun Tang looked at Jiang Yanxuan with a smile and asked, "Didn't they say that grandma got sick from anger? Did second brother go to see her?"

When this was mentioned, Jiang Yanxuan's smile fell again.

"I went there, but I couldn't enter the courtyard. Madam Ge said that grandma was tired and needed to rest, so she didn't let me disturb her."

"When I went to look for you, I asked someone to tell your second sister-in-law to go to Songhe Hall to check on the situation in the evening. Mother's condition...my eldest sister-in-law has to take care of the children, and your second sister-in-law is the only one in our eldest house who can go over to show her filial piety."

Yuntang nodded and looked at his brothers who were standing nearby and whispering about whether they should go to Jinhua Hall together to explain to their aunt.

There were also four sisters standing quietly by, and they did not go back to their own west courtyard or south courtyard.

"Now that I'm back, I can't avoid paying my respects to Prince Cheng and his wife. They are my elders, and it would be against the rules if you guys who came back with me didn't pay your respects."

So, let’s go together. Isn’t today’s conflict just because they went to the Third Prince’s Mansion for a banquet?

"Remember not to talk nonsense, Prince Cheng's Mansion is watching." Yun Tang glanced at Jiang Yanxuan, who had a conflicted expression, and reminded him again.

I guess the second brother is worried that these brothers who are already dissatisfied with the eldest aunt will speak impolitely, causing the conflicts that have just been eased to be stirred up again.

After receiving her instructions, Jiang Yanyu nodded first, his expression was relatively calm but also a little solemn.

"Don't worry, Tang'er, we are just going to pay our respects to our elders. Don't give them a chance to make things difficult for our parents."

Others nodded.

Yun Tang smiled and said, "Okay, after you're done paying your respects, you can go to Songhe Hall."

"Please tell grandma for me. I wanted to visit her when I came back after learning that she was ill, but I didn't want to go because I thought she wouldn't like a Taoist priest like me disturbing her peaceful place of worship. I was very concerned about her illness."

Yuntang's words made Jiang Yanxuan's mouth curl up high, and there was an uncontrollable smile in his eyes. The other brothers also turned their heads and looked around, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

The four sisters lowered their heads.

Whenever they thought of that night in Nuanxiang Pavilion, when their grandmother deliberately made things difficult for their eldest sister but was left speechless by her rebuttal, they wanted to laugh.

Soon, the brothers and sisters went to Jinhuatang together.

Jiang Yanlang followed at the back. He heard everything his sister, second brother and others said just now. Although he was worried, he didn't say much.

He now has a sense of presence in front of his sister, and his sister no longer bullies him, but the relationship between them is still far from being a brother and sister.

This is a feeling that cannot be expressed in words, but that's how he feels.

Looking at the way his sister spoke to his second brother and the way she used words, he firmly believed that his feeling was not wrong.

The group entered Jinhua Hall. The servants were surprised to see so many people coming together, but they did not dare to step forward to stop them.

A table was set up in the small side hall of Jinhua Hall. Only Prince Cheng and his wife, Princess Kangning, Marquis Yong'an, and Jiang Yingxue were eating there. As they had been making a lot of noise all afternoon, they did not call anyone else to come over.

Even Wei Yulan, Jiang Yiming and his mother, and Zhou Siyue did not come.

When they arrived, they had just finished their meal in the small side hall and were about to go to the warm room to have tea, but when they learned that they were coming, they went to the small hall first.

After Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng sat down at the top, Marquis Yong'an and Princess Kangning sat down on each side.

Jiang Yingxue stood beside Princess Kangning, took the hot tea from the maid, and served it to Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng first, smiling sweetly:

"Grandpa, tea!"

"Grandma, tea!"

Then he carefully served a teacup to Marquis Yong'an, and then served tea to Princess Kangning, receiving a satisfied smile from Princess Kangning.

After finishing this trip, Jiang Yingxue turned around to look at her brothers and sisters standing in three rows in the hall, put on a timid and ingratiating smile, and stepped forward to salute.

"Second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother..."

It took them a long time to keep shouting like this. Seeing how polite she was, the brothers could only respond in a low voice.

When she walked up to Yuntang, bowed and called her "Big Sister", Yuntang just glanced at her indifferently, slightly curled his lips, and said nothing.

At the side, the four sisters also saluted Jiang Yingxue with serious faces and shouted in unison: "Second sister."

Princess Kangning was very satisfied with the daughter she had raised. In contrast, she glanced at Yuntang with disdain, pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Miss Jiang, have you finished your greetings?" However, Princess Kangning didn't want to speak, but Yuntang spoke instead, with disdain in his eyes and a teasing tone.

Jiang Yingxue's pretty face turned red, and she hurriedly bowed to Yuntang again with a flustered look, and said anxiously: "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean it..."

"I know you didn't mean it, you're just acting too much." Yun Tang smiled.

"We are the ones who came here to pay respects to our elders, but you rushed in first, offering tea and greetings, leaving so many of us standing here watching you busy."

"Or... do we have to greet you as our master first before we can meet the elders?"

"How dare you!" Seeing that she was full of malice towards Xue'er right after she came, Princess Kangning's heart, which had just calmed down, was furious again. She glared at Yuntang and shouted, "Someone, come and slap the young lady in the face ten times, so that she will learn some rules!"

Princess Kangning only needs to think about how she lost face today and realize that it was all caused by this culprit. If she hadn't sent people to pick up the maids from the second and third rooms, how could things have turned out like this?

She felt so angry just looking at Yuntang that her teeth were itching.

Don't even mention what's hers or what's just a piece of flesh that fell off her body. She hasn't taken care of him for even a single day in these thirteen years. In terms of feelings, how can she compare to Xue'er, whom she raised?

"Want to teach me the rules?" Yun Tang looked at Princess Kangning, who was furious and had a ferocious expression, and sneered, with mockery in his eyes.
