The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

He Yue'e was ultimately unable to enter the Duke's Mansion.

Qiao rejected her post.

He Yue'e was somewhat unhappy when she heard the news.

Seeing his mother's gloomy face, Lin Yuzhong became worried: "Mother..."

"Nothing." He Yue'e breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, mother had a plan in advance."

He Yue'e took out a gold-embossed letter, which turned out to be the invitation to Princess Fu's banquet.

"Mother!" Lin Yuzhong was immediately surprised, "Mother is so amazing!"

He Yue'e smiled complacently: "Don't worry, my son. Mother will definitely let you go to Princess Fu's banquet."

"Mother is so nice." Lin Yuzhong took He Yue'e's hand and acted coquettishly.

He Yue'e touched her daughter's hair and said, "Daughter, you must behave well at the Princess Fu's banquet."

Lin Yuzhong nodded repeatedly, feeling very excited.

She didn't have to follow Jiang Zhiyue to go to Princess Fu's banquet, and her fighting spirit was rekindled.

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Lin Yuzhong bowed gracefully. She was confident that she would impress Princess Fu at the banquet.

He Yue'e looked at her beautiful daughter. Yu Zhong's beauty would surely make those noble young men feel like they were seeing a fairy from heaven!

Qiao prepared everything for Jiang Wanbai for the banquet in detail. Her eyes fell on the complete set of Bohai pearl, gilded and silver-inlaid headpiece, and she was very satisfied.

When Jiang Wanbai came, she saw such beautiful jewelry and couldn't help but admire: "Mother, you actually have such a good thing!"

Mrs. Qiao touched Jiang Wanbai's face and smiled, "My Wanbai is elegant and generous. These jewelry are just the icing on the cake for you."

No one likes to hear good things.

When Jiang Wanbai heard what Qiao said, her face became even redder.

She could almost imagine how dazzling she would be when she wore this headdress and appeared at the banquet hosted by Princess Fu.

She will definitely succeed in getting Princess Fu's attention!

But the next moment, the maid came to report that Nanny Cheng was outside and asked the Second Madam to go to Chunhui Hall.

Jiang Wanbai was stunned. It was so late, was grandma looking for mother for something urgent?

Jiang Wanbai subconsciously felt that it was not a good thing and looked at Qiao worriedly.

Mrs. Qiao smiled and asked Jiang Wanbai to wait here, she would be back soon.

But when she walked to the door and saw Nanny Cheng's face, Qiao's heart skipped a beat.

"Madam, I wonder why my mother is looking for me?" Qiao smiled at Madam Cheng.

Nanny Cheng bowed to Qiao in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. She showed no emotion on her face and said calmly, "I don't know. The Second Madam will know when she goes there."

Seeing this, Mrs. Qiao stopped asking questions and followed Nanny Cheng nervously all the way to Chunhui Hall.

When they arrived at the inner room of Chunhui Hall, Qiao heard the old lady shout angrily: "Kneel down!"

It had been a long time since Qiao had seen an old lady speak so harshly, and since she felt guilty, she just knelt down.

"Mother! Son, what did your daughter-in-law do wrong? Please tell me clearly."

Seeing that Mrs. Qiao was still so stubborn, the old lady closed her eyes, calmed down her anger, and then said, "You are also from a wealthy family, why are you so short-sighted!"

When Qiao heard this, her heart trembled. These words were too harsh!

"Mother!" Qiao's eyes turned red because of these words: "Mother, your words are too harsh! How can I, your daughter-in-law, behave like a human being..."

"You still feel ashamed?" The old lady never thought that Qiao could be so short-sighted!

"If a mother wants to punish her daughter-in-law, she must give her a reason!"

Qiao argued with reason, his face full of dissatisfaction.

The old lady looked at her disappointedly, her eyes sank and her breath was heavy. "How do you explain that set of Bohai pearl gilded silver headpiece?"

Mrs. Qiao's face turned pale and she looked at the old lady in disbelief.

Seeing Qiao's expression change drastically, the old lady was completely disappointed. She tapped her cane a few times and said, "How can you be so short-sighted!"

Mrs. Qiao moved forward a few steps in panic, grabbed the corner of the old lady's clothes, and cried, "Mother! Mother is not like this, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law just wants to borrow it, not... not..."

Qiao couldn't bring himself to say the word "theft".

The old lady looked at Qiao, who was crying bitterly, and her face had never looked so ugly.

"You don't have to go to tomorrow's banquet. Stay in the mansion and reflect on your actions."

The old lady closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she decided on Qiao's punishment.

Mrs. Qiao never expected that the old lady would be so arbitrary. "Mother, mother! Tomorrow's banquet is so important! If, if my daughter-in-law doesn't go, what will happen to the children?"

"I'm not dead yet, and I'm not too old to go out!" The old lady looked at Qiao sternly: "As a mistress, you act like this, it's simply ruining the family tradition!"

"Mother! I..."

"No need to say it!" The old lady's eyes were still full of anger, and she gave Qiao a strong dose of medicine: "If others find out about this, how will Wanbai deal with it? And how will your daughter of the Qiao family maintain her dignity?"

Qiao was shocked by the question and said in defense: "No, it won't be discovered. I just borrowed it once..."

The old lady looked at Qiao with a heavy gaze. Even after this, she was still quibbling.

Qiao felt uneasy at this look.

"At this point, if you still don't admit your mistakes, then go back and reflect on yourself. Come out again when you have figured it out."

"Mother! I know I was wrong, mother!" Qiao was completely panicked.

The old lady's eyes became more and more indifferent, "If you continue to lose your composure like this, your Second Madam's face will be lost, and there will be no way to recover it in the future."

Qiao was so frightened by the old lady's words that she dared not refute anymore. She let go of her hand that was holding the corner of the old lady's clothes in a daze and sat on the ground dejectedly.

The old lady glanced at Madam Cheng, who stepped forward to help Madam Qiao up, "Second Madam, I will take you back."

Qiao was so heartbroken that she even forgot to say goodbye to the old lady.

After Nanny Cheng helped Mrs. Qiao leave, Jiang Zhiyue slowly walked out from behind the screen.

Jiang Zhiyue looked at the old lady's disappointed expression and felt a little distressed. He squatted beside the old lady and said, "Grandma."

The old lady sighed softly and patted her granddaughter's head, "Luckily you discovered it. If Wan Bai wore that set of jewelry to the banquet..."

Jiang Zhiyue was silent. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

Changying was choosing jewelry for her to wear to the banquet, and she remembered a set of precious head ornaments her mother had left her. She went to the storehouse to get them, but found that they were missing.

After checking, I found out that it was my second aunt who took it away.

Qiao was in charge of the household affairs of the mansion and had the right to open the storehouse.

Jiang Zhiyue certainly knew what Qiao was going to do with this set of headgear.

But that was something her mother left her, how could she let others take it away so easily?

Besides, Mrs. Qiao is a very generous person and dares to touch things that don’t belong to her.

In this case, Qiao should learn a lesson for his recklessness.

The Bohai Pearl, which is unique to the Yu family in Jieyang, cannot be worn by everyone.
