Originally, Jiang Yanting planned to go to Prince Cheng's Mansion with his second brother early in the morning to ask his mother to return home before returning to the barracks.

But when they arrived at Prince Cheng's mansion, they found that their mother was very stubborn and did not listen to their words of comfort at all, and they were even scolded.

Even their grandmother, Princess Cheng, disliked their sister, saying that a wild girl who grew up outside had no rules and brought shame to the Marquis's mansion.

They said that my sister had lived in the palace when she was a child, and even the emperor summoned her to the palace for meals, so she was not really a wild girl who knew nothing.

But my grandmother didn't believe them at all.

He also said that they dared to tell such lies in order to flatter Yuntang, and they were not afraid of being punished if the news got to the emperor.

They said they would invite the third prince to Prince Cheng’s mansion to explain his sister’s true identity.

However, the mother scolded them for inviting the third prince to support the event, which was an embarrassment to her.

Finally, they were driven out of Prince Cheng's Mansion by their grandmother and mother and were forbidden to go there before the New Year.

As for Xue'er... they had never even met each other.

It’s so infuriating!

Yuntang just made it snow again through some tricks.

Use snow flakes to smooth out the areas in the yard where footprints were left and a walkway was swept out, to make the snow scene look better.

Then I saw my two brothers appear at the gate of the yard.

They walked in without noticing anything, all with depressed expressions on their faces, and a few more lines of footprints appeared on the smooth and clean snow...

Yun Tang smiled faintly, changed the fingering of the strings in his hand, and the soothing sound of the piano rang out.

As the two brothers crossed the yard and walked into the open pavilion following the sound, they felt inexplicably calmer.

But when they saw their sister playing the piano with an elegant and leisurely posture, they all sighed in their hearts.

This sister who is as elegant as a Taoist immortal and free-spirited as a wild crane is actually regarded as a wild girl by her mother and grandmother.

If he wasn't a direct elder, they really would have to have a good talk!

What a look!

No, my mother has never seen my sister, so how would she know what she looks like?

Not to mention my grandmother, who only listened to my mother's one-sided story and hated my sister.

Yun Tang's piano playing had not stopped yet, and they did not interrupt him. They just walked to the tea table in front of the window and sat down.

Tea was already boiling on the tea table, so they made tea themselves.

A cup of hot tea with a fragrant aroma warms the body, soothes the stomach, and relieves the mood. Listening to the melodious and elegant music, the expression on my face also relaxes.

Yuntang finally stopped playing the piano, stood up and walked to the tea table and sat down.

He took the cup of hot tea handed to him by his second brother and took a sip, then looked at them inquiringly.

Jiang Yanxuan then briefly recounted what happened during his trip to Prince Cheng's Mansion early this morning.

He could only talk about the results, but he could not talk about the bad behavior and words of his mother and grandmother.

After hearing this, Yun Tang smiled nonchalantly, took another sip of hot tea, and then said:

"Don't worry about it. Taoism believes in fate. If there is no fate, don't force it."

"But given the situation right now... the family reunion party... I'm afraid it won't go too smoothly." Jiang Yanxuan's tone was a little weak, with his eyes lowered and a look of worry on his face.

Jiang Yanting frowned and thought about the solution.

Although he is the eldest son of the marquis's family, his mother is a princess of the royal family and his maternal grandfather's family is a prince. The gap in status and position is too great, so he can only persuade but not force.

But this is their family affair after all. If they really ask the Third Prince to intervene and even alarm the Emperor...

If the matter gets out of hand, the Marquis's family will lose face, which will be bad for both my father and my sister.

Seeing that they were still worried, Yuntang advised them:

"As long as my father wants to hold the family recognition banquet, I am willing to cooperate. Nothing else matters."

"I don't even need to check the progress and attitude of Feng Dao in Prince Cheng's Mansion." Yun Tang lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup in his hand, sneering softly.

"After all, starting to worship Taoism now is for the sake of merit for next year. For people like this... I'm actually not willing to give them merit, believe it or not."

"My family reunion banquet can be held on a date when my father comes back."

"Who the invitation is sent to is a matter of personal relationships in the Marquisate. As for who is willing to come and who is not, that is their attitude, and we cannot force them."

"If you are unhappy, then make a copy of the invitation list and give it to the emperor. Those who don't come or are unfriendly will be dealt with by the emperor."

"It's not difficult to hold a banquet without a host. Just ask Second Aunt and Third Aunt to come out and entertain the female family members. If the Marquis' wife hasn't returned by that day, and Prince Cheng's Mansion still has such a bad attitude..."

"The Emperor will vent my anger for me. I don't need to do anything." Yun Tang's eyes darkened slightly, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She has a very violent temper, and Third Senior Brother won't let her do it on her own for fear of hurting others.

Of course, Third Senior Brother would not let her face these things alone and would support her.

In her first life, she didn't want to worry her senior brothers, so she got herself into trouble and died tragically.

When she returns in this life, she will no longer be so self-righteous and low-key.

Her senior brothers loved and protected her, and she accepted it with gratitude.

If Prince Cheng's Mansion is as my brother said, the attitude will be even worse. No wonder it can cultivate a character like that of Princess Kangning.

Then it’s not her fault for not recognizing her relatives and not giving them face.

"Tang'er, can the emperor really do this for you?" Jiang Yanxuan looked at Yuntang in disbelief.

Jiang Yanting frowned worriedly and reminded:

"Sister, the Third Prince calls you Junior Uncle Master. It must be because the Emperor is devoted to Taoism and is close to your senior brothers, which gives you the advantage of seniority at such a young age."

"But this is the emperor's favor. You must keep it with care. Don't use it casually as a token of authority and waste the emperor's favor."

"Now, whether it's your mother's attitude towards you or your attitude towards your mother, it's just a misunderstanding and rift between mother and daughter. It's a family affair of the Marquis' Mansion."

"Grandma has never seen you, so she doesn't know how good you are. She is bound to trust mother and Xue'er, whom she has doted on since she was a child. When she sees you, she will regret treating you so harshly."

"I think it's better not to alert the emperor about this matter. Let's discuss it after father comes back. We will take you to Prince Cheng's mansion this afternoon."

Jiang Yanting considered more and never dared to bring the matter from a family affair in the mansion to the imperial court and make it known to the whole capital.

By then, it would not only be about my mother's face and the face of the Marquis' Mansion, but also the relationship between Prince Cheng's Mansion and the Emperor.

If things get out of hand, it won't be good for anyone.

Yuntang tilted his head, looked at his elder brother with scrutiny, thought about it, and nodded in understanding.

"I promise you that I won't ask the emperor for support, but I won't go to Prince Cheng's mansion."

Prince Cheng's Mansion is not worthy of her bowing her head and showing goodwill.

"In fact, it doesn't matter if we don't hold a family recognition party. The news of my return has spread all over the capital. As long as you and father accept me, I don't need the recognition of others."

Yuntang said calmly.

She didn't care in the first place, but her father wanted to show more favor to her after he found out that she was famous in the imperial court.
