Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

The Yong'an Marquis Mansion has been very peaceful these past two days, but...it seems like something has changed.

In Tangfeng Courtyard, as soon as Yuntang came back, the four maids immediately surrounded her excitedly.

"The young lady is back!"

"The other day, the eldest lady suddenly said she was going to Yunshang Temple. We thought she wouldn't be able to make it back to attend the banquet at the Duke of Weiguo's mansion."

"Miss, you will take us to see the world today, right?"

"My lady, you must wear a skirt and jewelry today."

"Stop shouting and let the young lady go into the house to warm up first. It must be much colder in the sky than on the ground this morning." Mother Yang hurried over with a hand warmer.

When they saw the eldest lady coming back just now, the four maids rushed over without caring about anything. She had to quickly prepare the hand warmer herself. The freshly burned silver charcoal was just the right temperature for her hands.

Yun Tang took the hand warmer and said with a smile: "Hurry up and prepare some hot water for me to bathe. Don't wear the dress anymore. Change into a blue cloak."

What she said meant that she wanted to dress like she did on the first night back home. The fourth maid was slightly startled, then she answered "yes" with understanding and went back to get busy.

Upon learning that Yuntang had eaten some vegetarian food at Yunshang Temple, Mrs. Yang went to the small kitchen and brought back some breakfast that had been prepared early in the morning. While waiting for hot water, Yuntang ate some more.

Afterwards, she bathed and changed into a silver-purple quilted brocade robe embroidered with plum blossom and cloud patterns in silver thread, a green jade buckle belt, a white jade ruyi pendant around her waist, and a silver bell sachet that she always carried with her.

Yuntang wanted to dress up as a young boy, so the maids didn't hesitate and brought her a few jade hairpins to choose from. In the end, she chose a white jade plum blossom hairpin.

Wear a blue cloak embroidered with auspicious cloud patterns in gold and silver thread on the outside, and change into short boots and you're done.

Yuntang also asked Mrs. Yang and the fourth maid to clean up as well.

As the first-class maids and head maids in the master's courtyard of the marquis's mansion, they were dressed more decently than the servants in other parts of the mansion.

Yun Tang was sitting in the warm room drinking tea when he saw the four sisters hurrying in. Jiang Yingrou, who was walking in front, called out, "Is the eldest sister back?"

Yun Tang raised her hand and waved it gently, and the window of the warm room opened. She smiled and said, "I'm back."

Hearing her voice, the four sisters immediately trotted in happily.

"Big sister, you were not at home these two days. After discussing with my grandmother, my uncle handed over the management of the family to my mother."

"Today, mother will take us to the Duke of Wei's mansion and ask Third Aunt to take care of her in Songhe Hall. Grandmother is ill and cannot go out."

Jiang Yingrou quickly told the situation at home.

Yuntang asked softly, "Is grandma really sick?"

If you say he's angry, of course he'd be angry, but if he really gets sick from being angry, that's a bit over the top, right?

Jiang Yingrou bit her lower lip and explained in a low voice:

"It's true that grandma is not feeling well. We asked the court doctor to come and check her pulse. He said that she is depressed and has excessive internal heat. She also coughs and can't sleep well at night. Isn't that a disease?"

It's just an old age disease in the fall and winter.

This matter could be a big thing or a small one, but it would actually be disrespectful to drag a sick body to another old lady's birthday party, so this arrangement was made.

As for Princess Corning?

Now even Prince Cheng's Mansion is not helping her. Marquis Yong'an had said before that he would not let her be the head of the family and wanted her to recuperate in Jinhua Hall. Without the obstruction of Prince Cheng's Mansion, he carried out his plan.

It's equivalent to house arrest in disguise.

Princess Kangning did not make a fuss again. Yesterday, she even invited the wife of Duke Pingguo to come into the mansion to talk. After all, they were engaged in-laws, so it was normal for them to visit each other on a regular basis.

Although Princess Kangning lost her power as head of the household, she was also placed under house arrest.

But she rarely went out of Jinhua Hall in the winter when she was in the Marquis' Mansion. Now if she invited a guest to Jinhua Hall to talk, no one in the Marquis' Mansion would stop her.

The Second Wife, who had just taken over the family power and was busy taking over, and had even invited the Third Wife to help with the accounts, naturally would not meddle in other people's business.

The second and third wives are now in the same interest group for the sake of their children's marriage and future, and they plan to teach the fourth sister how to manage the accounts once the accounts are sorted out.

The four sisters chattered about everything that had happened in the mansion in the past two days and the matter of taking over the management of the household.

Yuntang smiled but did not agree with those topics. Instead, she gestured for them to take the cakes on the kang table. Without hesitation, several of them took two pieces and started eating happily.

They had not been to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion yet. They were busy dressing up early in the morning and had not even eaten two bites of breakfast. They were wondering whether their eldest sister had returned.

With my elder sister around, I won’t be afraid even if I go to the palace.

The atmosphere was just right as they ate and talked. Mrs. Yang and the fourth maid finished packing and came in to let Yuntang take a look. After getting the right answer, they all laughed happily.

Not only the four sisters were happy to be able to go out to the banquet today, but Grandma Yang and the fourth maid were also very excited.

They have only been with the eldest lady for a few days, and have always been kept in Tangfeng Courtyard.

Today, they can go out with the eldest lady. This is the eldest lady's kindness to them and also the eldest lady's recognition of their performance.

The group happily followed Yuntang out. Mother Yang followed behind and instructed the other servants in the yard to guard the yard, then quickly followed.

As soon as they walked out of Tangfeng Courtyard, Zhou Siyue also came over here with a maid. When she saw Yuntang, her eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled.

"Big sister, I was worried that you hadn't returned from the palace. There was no news from the gate."

Yun Tang thought that he didn't even go through the main gate, so he couldn't help but smile and didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "Second sister-in-law, are you going to the Duke of Wei's mansion together?"

Zhou Siyue smiled and nodded, explaining:

"This morning, my father sent someone to tell me to go with your second brother. He has to go to the Ministry of War first and will go there at noon."

Yuntang nodded and understood what Marquis Yong'an meant.

The birthday banquet held at the Duke of Weiguo's mansion was not a grand celebration, nor was it held with many invitations sent out.

If this news had been known in previous years, given the not-so-close relationship between the two families, the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion would have simply sent gifts early, and it would have been up to the individual to attend the banquet or not.

But that night Yuntang mentioned that she was going to the birthday banquet at the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, and later she said that the boys in the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion would also call her "Little Master Uncle", which meant that it was all related to Taoism.

He also knew that Yuntang's brothers were all in the capital, and were either rich or noble. Naturally, he wanted to know who these brothers of his daughter were.

Before meeting these senior brothers, as Yuntang's family, they could no longer treat the birthday banquet at the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion as ordinary people, but had to treat it as grandly as visiting relatives.

Therefore, Jiang Yanxuan had sent a cart of gifts to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion yesterday, which was regarded as a formal greeting between the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion and the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

Today, the Second Madam brought Zhou Siyue and the four sisters to follow Yuntang, so they could be closer and avoid being rude.

Yuntang also learned that Wei Yulan had returned to her parents' home with her children yesterday, and today she would go to the Duke of Wei's Mansion with her family, spend time as a guest, and then return to the Marquis' Mansion.

This is probably the reason why Marquis Yong'an asked Zhou Siyue to go with him today.

The eldest daughter-in-law will go there, and the second daughter-in-law should also learn to network with the noble families in the capital.
