Yuntang stood up from the cushion, straightened his Taoist robe carelessly, turned to look at Yong'an Hou, and suddenly performed a Taoist salute.

"Father is the first person who claimed to be my relative since I came to the mansion."

"May you be blessed with infinite blessings, I am glad that I have not come to the wrong door or recognized the wrong relative."

Marquis Yong'an's angry expression froze, and he couldn't help but look at Butler Hu beside him.

"Hu Wei, tell me what happened. Why was Tang'er treated so coldly when he returned home?"

Marquis Yong'an knew that Yuntang had been found in a Taoist temple in the East Territory, so he sent someone to bring her back and decided to keep both daughters.

I never asked about it again after that, and I really had no idea what happened today.

Butler Hu now understood what Yuntang wanted to do, so he told him everything he knew.

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture and Censor Yang were speechless after hearing this and didn't know whether they should get involved in the trivial matters in the rear quarters of the marquis' mansion.

After hearing this, Marquis Yong'an sighed helplessly and his tone softened a little.

"Your mother caught a cold a few days ago and has been ill for many days, so she didn't care about anything and the housekeeper was lazy."

"Father will deal with those servants later and support you."

"But you are the eldest daughter of the Marquisate after all. Your every word and action will affect the honor and disgrace of the Marquisate."

"Don't speak so loudly in the future. If this gets out, how will people view the Marquis' Mansion?"

"Your grandmother is a Buddhist. She has been a vegetarian and chanting for decades. She also often goes to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha."

"You grew up in a Taoist temple, and you just came back and call yourself a Taoist priest. How can your grandmother get close to you?"

"Don't get angry with your elders. Just get along well with your family members."

"And here you are..." Marquis Yong'an said as he looked around the room, his eyes once again unable to conceal his anger.

Princess Kangning was too ruthless. She gave the child a handle for no reason, which caused him to make a fuss and made him lose face in public.

In front of him were the Shuntian Prefecture Governor and Censor Yang, who were waiting for him to deal with the result.

The fact that these two smart men did not intervene directly but just watched from the sidelines was already giving face to the Marquis' Mansion.

"Hu Wei, go and pick out four first-class maids, six second-class maids, eight junior maids, a head maid, and six maids for the young lady."

Marquis Yong'an was thinking in his mind and began to give orders to Butler Hu.

He personally decided on the number of maids and servants, which were higher than Jiang Yingxue's standards.

Before the incident of the real and fake daughter happened, Jiang Yingxue was the legitimate and only daughter of Marquis Yong'an.

The Xuexinyuan where Jiang Yingxue lives is spacious and magnificent, with elegant scenery.

However, there were only two first-class maids, four second-class maids, six little maids, one head maid, and four servants.

In order to appease Yuntang, Marquis Yong'an raised her standards to a higher level.

"Also, arrange a large courtyard for the eldest lady in the east courtyard. It cannot be smaller than the courtyard of the second lady."

Princess Kangning wanted to show her power to her newly adopted daughter.

As a result, the servants also looked down on his eldest daughter, and even Xue'er, the adopted daughter, dared to come and demonstrate arrogantly.

Then he could only support his own daughter himself.

As long as she has his support, no one in the mansion will dare to look down on the eldest lady again.

He was right.

Even the Shuntian prefect and Censor Yang nodded in agreement. If it were them, they would have handled it in the same way.

Yuntang, however, looked indifferent, not showing much surprise or expectation.

She walked to the long table, burned incense and bowed to the statues of the Three Pure Ones.

Then he turned around and said, "It's nice here, quiet and suitable for me to practice."

"My child, your life in the Taoist temple before, your father has no right to say anything."

"After all, it was your father and your mother who failed to protect you that left you stranded outside."

"If you want to continue to maintain the familiar life in the Taoist temple, your father will not stop you."

"But you have to understand that you are now the daughter of the Marquis's family, and the legitimate daughter of this Marquis."

"You have already returned to the secular world. Don't call yourself a Taoist priest anymore. Just practice in your heart."

"You still need to learn the etiquette and rules that a lady should have."

"From now on, when you move around the capital and attend banquets and outings in various mansions, you are a noble lady, not a Taoist priest."

"You will make many boudoir friends and handkerchief acquaintances in the future, and you will marry a husband of your dreams."

"I won't force you to do this now, but you have to figure it out and change yourself."

Marquis Yong'an had an earnest look on his face, and every word he said came from his heart, and was spoken sincerely.

The Shuntian prefect and Censor Yang nodded in agreement.

They looked at Yuntang dressed as a Taoist priest and felt worried for Marquis Yong'an.

It won't be easy for this child to turn things around.

"What my father said makes sense, but I am not a hermit, and I don't know anything."

Yuntang looked at their earnest expressions like old fathers, and the faces of several senior brothers appeared in his mind.

Her almond eyes were suddenly filled with tears.

She had been in seclusion for three years, and she returned to Beijing immediately after coming out of seclusion, but...

This is what the master and fellow practitioners know about her.

No one knew she was reborn.

After she was murdered in her previous life, she traveled through nine lives with her memories and obsessions.

In every life, he practiced the Way of Heavenly Master, accumulating countless merits and magic weapons, magic talismans, and magic pills...

Finally, he was reborn into the first life with the merits of nine lives.

When she returned to the familiar world, she knew that it was God's response to her obsession, allowing her to come back to fulfill her long-cherished wish.

The Yong'an Marquis Mansion is just a small episode.

"Father, I appreciate your kindness today. I am not angry anymore." Yuntang said quickly after coming to his senses.

"Father, there is no need to prepare a large yard. This yard is quiet and peaceful, so I will live here."

"I don't need any servants to serve me. No one should disturb me. No one should trip me up or make things difficult for me when I go in and out of the house."

"You are the master of the family. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you, let Butler Hu deal with it. Don't let yourself be wronged."

Yong'an Hou quickly expressed his opinion and advised:

"But you are my legitimate daughter and you have just returned home. Even if you like this yard, I cannot let you live here."

"If this gets out, how will I, as a father, save my reputation?"

"Good boy, let your father take care of these chores for you, okay? Then we can build a house like this in the big yard."

"If you want Wuweiju, then you don't have to give it any other name. Is that okay with you?"

Seeing that Yuntang's expression had softened a little, Marquis Yong'an continued to persuade him.

Seeing him act like a loving father eager to please his daughter, the prefect of Shuntian and Censor Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Yong'an Marquis only has three sons and one daughter. Daughters are favored. But now there is another one, the eldest daughter.

"My Lord, I don't know what the rumors are saying about your daughter... I should go back and record today's events impartially."

Censor Yang interrupted when he thought of this.

Since the conflicts in the rear quarters of the Marquis's mansion were resolved by the Marquis of Yong'an himself, he was happy to take advantage of the situation.

It’s just that Yuntang is returning home today, and this matter involves the issue of “being separated thirteen years ago”…
