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

"My grandma just arrived and she's not very happy..." Jiang Yanting also lowered his voice.

Marquis Yong'an remained silent, not knowing what to say. He just looked at Yuntang helplessly.

"Tang'er, your grandmother is old and has a bit of a temper. If she has anything unpleasant to say, don't listen. After dinner, just go for a walk with your brothers."

Yuntang nodded and understood that the family dinner would probably be the same as the last time.

However, compared to Princess Corning's reckless madness, the old lady's attitude was relatively restrained.

Ever since she was named the Princess Protector of the Nation, the old lady must have wanted to change her attitude and treat her better, but she couldn't do that without losing face.

He wanted to wait for her to take the initiative to humble herself and show goodwill, but she seldom even returned to the Marquis's Mansion... He thought that she was not filial and obedient enough, and thus was very dissatisfied with her.

How hypocritical!

Yuntang sneered in his heart and took the little hand that Xiao Ming'er extended to him.

The little guy jumped for joy, and the string of golden bells hanging around his waist rang crisply.

Different from the muffled sounds of other bells, the sound of this string of golden bells is very close to the Qingxin Bell. Wherever the bells ring, evil spirits will not invade and monsters will retreat.

Yuntang took Xiao Ming'er by the hand and walked towards Nuanxiang Pavilion. On the way, she kept responding to the flowers that the little guy showed her with his other finger.

Occasionally, a butterfly flew through the flowers in the evening. When Xiao Minger saw it, he was so excited that he wanted to pounce on it and catch it. He pulled her hand hard and wanted to rush over...

Yun Tang had no choice but to pick up the little guy and said, "Ming'er, eat first."

"Oh~food!" Little Ming'er also remembered that he followed his father to call his aunt for food, so he responded obediently, shyly twisting his fingers with his little hands.

The father and son, who were more than ten steps behind, looked at each other, and Yong'an Hou asked in a low voice: "Have you notified your mother?"

Jiang Yanting nodded and replied in a low voice: "My second brother went there. I told him not to force it if mother doesn't want to."

Marquis Yong'an sighed and decided to go to Jinhua Hall first. He did not want to invite Princess Kangning in person, but was afraid that Princess Kangning would vent her anger on her son and make things difficult for him.

At the last family dinner, he personally invited Princess Corning, but Princess Corning took her anger out on him.

He left in anger, and Princess Kangning later went to Nuanxiang Pavilion by herself, but she didn't say a word. Not only did the mother and daughter become embarrassed, but the family scandal was also seen by the young men at those tables.

Although no gossip was heard in the capital later, the inevitable consequence was that the family's dirty laundry was exposed.

For Yong'an Hou, the unhappy things in the past could not be turned over even after the New Year. They were still vivid in his mind, leaving him with bitterness that he could not express.

When they reached the fork in the road, Marquis Yong'an turned to Jinhua Hall.

Jiang Yanting took a few quick steps to catch up with the aunt and nephew who were chatting in whispers, and smiled as he looked at the child whose little face was excited and mumbling but who insisted on talking.

"Ming'er's speech has improved a lot since the New Year. He can often say two words now."

For example, daddy, hug, Wuwu, mommy, meal, play...

Yuntang lowered his eyes and smiled. Ming'er's birthday is on the eighth day of June. He is still a little over one year old, but he is growing every day, and his progress will become more and more obvious.

When we arrived at Nuanxiang Pavilion, we saw the brothers and four sisters standing outside talking, and no one else was there.

Yuntang put Xiao Ming'er down and led him away. The four sisters ran over first.

"Big sister, grandma is here..." Jiang Yingrou reminded in a low voice.

"It was said that you didn't spend the New Year at home, so I didn't have the chance to give you the New Year's money I prepared a long time ago. You didn't go to Songhetang when you came back, and now that the New Year has passed, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for your New Year's gift."

Jiang Yingrou quickly recounted the conversation her grandmother had made not long ago, omitting some of the unpleasant words.

Jiang Yinghe also added quietly: "This New Year's greeting gift has two meanings."

Jiang Yingrou nodded quickly and lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of being heard by her grandmother's people.

She explained: "Grandmother mentioned that you went to Prince Cheng's mansion to pay New Year's greetings on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and that you prepared a New Year's gift for Princess Cheng before the New Year. I heard it was... a jade bracelet?"

Jiang Yingrou tilted her head as if a little uncertain as she spoke, then looked at Yuntang.

Yuntang nodded and spoke with a chuckle.

"Years ago, Prince Cheng's Mansion gave me several carts of jade, and I returned it with a jade bracelet as a small gift. When I first returned to the Marquis' Mansion, I bought a jade Guanyin for my grandmother. It cost tens of thousands of taels. You all know this."

The four sisters nodded vigorously. They knew it all. They had seen their elder sister buy many jade articles with just a wave of her hand.

On the day after returning, the eldest sister and eldest brother personally sent it to the grandmother, but they could not even enter the door of Songhe Hall because the grandmother did not want the Jade Guanyin.

How can I blame my elder sister for not preparing a gift?

But whenever the grandmother came to Nuanxiang Pavilion, she had a stern face and looked angry. Their mother, who was serving her, didn't even dare to speak loudly.

They were also very nervous, and it was their brothers who suggested going outside to watch the sunset and then took them out.

In other words, although they were all standing outside at this time, they were also very clear that the atmosphere in Nuanxiang Pavilion was not very good.

Yuntang understood from their reactions and smiled indifferently.

"Let's go, the food will be served soon." Yuntang handed little Ming'er to her eldest brother, and she walked into Nuanxiang Pavilion first, and the others followed quickly.

In Nuanxiang Pavilion, a large round table has been set up. This is only a place for family banquets. Normally, the various courtyards do not come here for their own meals, so there are no other decorations here.

The old lady sat on the main seat at the top, looking at the door with a stern face.

The second and third wives sat beside her and told her several funny family stories or anecdotes from the capital, but they failed to ease the old lady's expression.

Several concubines from the two rooms stood behind them, laughing along but not daring to say a word.

Jiang Mingli and Jiang Mingwei were also here, both listening to their wives' forced smiles with sullen faces, feeling helpless.

This was the scene Yuntang saw when he walked in. He smiled slightly and walked over there.

"Oh, I didn't know the elders had arrived earlier. Yuntang is late. It's also my father's fault that he went to talk to Yuntang and forgot the time."

Yuntang smiled as she walked and talked, and easily blamed the reason for being late on Marquis Yong'an. In fact, it was Marquis Yong'an who went outside Tangfeng Courtyard waiting for her to talk.

"Luckily, big brother and Ming'er went over, and Yuntang hurried over here, so he didn't miss the feast, did he?"

When Yuntang finished saying "I hope you didn't miss the dinner", he had already walked to the main table, stood in front of the old lady, and bowed with a smile.

After all, she was dressed as a noble lady at this time, not as a Taoist priest or a man.

"Yun Tang pays respects to Grandma and wishes Grandma a happy New Year! I wish Grandma good health and a long life!"

A table of people with complicated thoughts looked at Yun Tang, their expressions were all a little stunned, and they were confused by Yun Tang's enthusiastic operation...
