After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

At dinner time, news came from Lixue Hall that the mistress had asked the two young ladies to have dinner with her.

It was already the evening hour, Ling'er had already prepared dinner, and was just waiting for Yuan Ge to finish planting the peach saplings he had just bought. If he let her go at this time, I'm afraid that the dinner would be fake, and the rules would be real.

Yuan Ge took the handkerchief and wiped his hands. He smiled and sent the maid from Lixue Hall away and ordered the meal to start. He was not in a hurry to eat. While praising Ling'er's cooking skills, he also took care to ask Jianshu to eat more. After a quarter of an hour, he wiped his mouth and went to Lixue Hall with Shiyin.

Since she got married, except for the tea ceremony, Yuan Ge has never seen her mother-in-law. She has not asked her to greet her and serve her every morning and evening, and she consciously avoids offending others... But in fact, she also knows that if she doesn't like someone, she doesn't like him. Rather than saying that they have been at peace for the past few days, it is better to say that they have been waiting and testing. Now, what is supposed to come has come.

as predicted.

When we arrived at Lixue Hall, we saw a few side dishes and a bland soup. Wang Xiuru, wife of the Earl of Kejing, sat in the middle, with her eyebrows drooping and her face expressionless. She held a teacup in her hand and fiddled with the floating leaves in the tea from time to time. She looked careless, yet depressed and dull.

Li's aunt and nephew were both there, sitting on Wang Xiuru's right. Li looked at her nose with her eyes and her heart with her nose, also like a bystander. However, Li Jinfeng was young after all, and her expression still showed some joy and anger - that was the joy of a villain's success.

It seems that the complaint has been made in advance.

Yuan Ge had already made some calculations in his mind. He paused for a moment, put away his expression, and walked into the house obediently. He knelt down and saluted, "Mother, please don't blame me for being late."

Li Yushuang used her ability to make friends with everyone again, and she smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Luofengxuan is a bit far from Lixuetang, and my sister-in-law is new to the mansion. She is not familiar with the crooked roads yet, so it is normal to waste some time on the road. Mother, please don't blame her... When I first entered the mansion, in order to avoid making a fool of myself, I secretly walked around the mansion several times at night when no one was around!"

Wang Xiuru raised her eyelids and sneered, "How can Lixuetang be far from Jinxiu Pavilion? You go to Jinxiu Pavilion frequently! I don't want to be that vicious mother-in-law who makes you set rules every day and makes you hate her, but ask yourself, you are running out all day after just a few days of marriage, what kind of talk is that? Besides, you are not familiar with the roads in this mansion, so you just followed the maid and waited for so long? What's the big deal that makes the elders wait for you to eat? Is this the upbringing of a girl from the Wen family?"

After saying that, he raised his eyelids again, with an expression of contempt and disdain, obviously looking down on me.

Yuan Ge seemed not to notice and only explained in a gentle voice, "Mother, you are wronged. My husband said he loves to eat peaches, and I thought that Luofengxuan is big, so I went to buy a peach tree... Although there are peaches for sale outside, they are not as fresh as those grown at home, right? When the maid came over, my daughter-in-law was covered in mud, and it would be impolite to come to my mother's place, so I spent some time washing up."

As for whether Song Wenyuan liked to eat peaches or not, she didn't know. She was just certain that Song Wenyuan would not expose her and she was just using him as an excuse and talking nonsense.

Wang Xiuru's expression did not slow down at all, and she seemed determined to take this opportunity to make trouble for her and give her a warning. Hearing this, she just said sarcastically, "You are kind enough... but you are the new daughter-in-law after all. Don't you know how many eyes are watching your every move? You must always remember that your words and deeds now represent not the Wen family, but the Kejing Marquis's Mansion! People like you who are a little thin-skinned would not dare to go out, but you keep trying to get into the crowd..."

This is still about her going to Jinxiu Pavilion... Maybe this is what Wang Xiuru really cares about!

Yuan Ge nodded obediently and responded with a smile, "Yes... I understand. My husband arranged for the embroiderer to come to our house to make the two sets of clothes in Jinxiu Pavilion. I didn't have to go to pick them up in person. But on the way back, I passed by Jinxiu Pavilion and heard someone had a conflict with the waiter. It seemed that someone mentioned that she was Miss Li from the Kejing Marquis's Mansion... I thought it was my eldest sister-in-law, and thought that after all, we are a family and cannot be bullied, right? So I got off the car to find out the situation, but I didn't expect it to be my eldest sister-in-law's niece..."

After saying that, he smiled playfully and looked at Li Jinfeng, "Miss Li, don't you agree?"

The villain complains first. Does he really think that Yuan Ge is a soft persimmon that is easy to be bullied?

It was true that Wang Xiuru didn't like her daughter-in-law, but by comparison, she obviously disliked the Li family members who came to ask for money every now and then. Now that she knew that the Li family members were causing trouble in the name of the Kejing Marquis's Mansion, wouldn't she hate them even more? It seemed that the brains of these Li family members were not very good!

Look, Wang Xiuru's face suddenly turned cold, and she turned her head to look almost in slow motion, her cheeks stiff from biting her teeth, and she asked word by word, "Is that so? Miss Li? I don't know when there was a Miss Li in the Kejing Marquis's Mansion... Can you explain it to me?"

"Mother..." Li Yushuang just opened her mouth when Wang Xiuru put down the teacup in her hand heavily. With a "dong" sound, Li Yushuang trembled all over and her voice stopped abruptly.

"In the past, I didn't want to argue with you. Do you really think that I'm old and my hearing and eyesight are not sharp? I didn't say anything about you because Song Ziyao is not my biological son. If I say too much, it will make me look jealous and intolerant." Wang Xiuru took the handkerchief handed over by Yuan Ge, lowered her eyebrows and slowly wiped the tea on the back of her hand. She raised her eyelids and sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you are up to... I don't want to interfere in the affairs between you young people, but you have to remember that you are not Li Yushuang, a girl from the Li family. You are Li, the daughter-in-law of the Kejing Marquis's mansion."

Li Yushuang twisted Li Jinfeng's arm under the table with an unpleasant look on her face, and replied with a smile through gritted teeth, "Yes, mother's teaching is very right. This girl is still young, and I usually spoil her a little, but I didn't know she would act like this outside... I will teach her a lesson later. Today, I have to thank my sister-in-law for stopping it."

Yuan Ge was bending over to pour tea for Wang Xiuru.

She had a gentle and soft body. At this moment, she looked obedient as she smiled and poured tea, deceiving the world. Wang Xiuru looked at her from the side, and her complexion became much better. She raised her hand and said, "Let Mammy take care of these things. You can sit down too."

"Yes." Yuan Ge lowered his head and replied, sitting upright, then smiled and looked across, "Sister-in-law, that's right. People under the same roof should not talk behind each other's backs. But sister-in-law, my grandmother always told me that if the family members don't teach the child well, he will always be punished by outsiders when he goes out."
