After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 20 Flowers on cow dung

In Rong Peilan's memory, his father was an open-minded man. Even though he had to live in the open air, he never cared about the reputation of a proud scholar.

The words "fragrant all over the world" were what he often used to exchange for food when he was starving.

When I was eight years old, my mother became pregnant, and my parents had smiles on their faces every day.

But the laughter did not last long. Just three months after they returned to Yanjing, their father was killed by robbers on his way to send his mother to burn incense.

Rong Peilan leaned against the railing of the pavilion by the lake, and the warm breeze from the lake made her ears tremble slightly.

The hairpin is shiny and smooth, and it is obvious that it has been often held and wiped in someone's hands.

Her eyes drooped slightly, and her fingertips rubbed the two words under the leaves, but the knot in her heart could not be untied.

My father was a poor scholar whose ancestral home was in Chihua County, Fengyang Prefecture.

She had heard the story of how her mother and father met and got to know each other thousands of times, but the eldest princess had never been mentioned in it.

What role did the eldest princess play in this, and how did her father encounter the bandits?

Thinking about it now, every detail is full of questions.

"You are Rong Peilan."

A contemptuous voice sounded from behind.

Rong Peilan turned around and saw a young woman wearing an elaborate palace dress. The red hairpin on her head was inlaid with huge pearls, and her cheeks were also covered with the most popular pearl makeup of the time.

Before coming, Mrs. Zhong explained that the most dazzling girl in the audience was Princess Danyang.

"Princess Jin An."

Rong Peilan put the hairpin into her sleeve pocket and bowed.

Danyang chuckled lightly, then took two steps forward, stretched out her nail-painted index finger, and lifted her chin.

Rong Peilan bent her knees but was forced to raise her head.

The face in front of me was extremely beautiful, but she had a pair of gentle eyes that did not match her beauty. However, her eyes were full of arrogance, an arrogance that would not tolerate any infringement.

Danyang suddenly laughed, retracted his finger, and said with disdain, "Get up, it's really dull and boring."

"Yes."

"Have fun." Danyang left as quietly as he came.

Xie Shuning, who saw it from a distance, did not step forward. Just when she thought that Rong Peilan would be troubled by this princess with a bad reputation, Princess Danyang let her go easily.

Xie Shuning felt a little unwilling.

In her previous life, she came to the banquet with the Zhong family, but was humiliated in public by Danyang. Afterwards, she shamelessly began to harass Ji Yunzhang.

It was not until His Majesty arranged for the princess to marry the new top scholar that this ridiculous princess finally calmed down.

Later, the princess died of childbirth complications, leaving two lives.

It’s a good death, it’s retribution.

She was so happy about it that she drank a pot of wine.

Seeing the princess walking away, Xie Shuning stepped forward.

"Sister, what a coincidence."

Xie Shuning came up with a fake smile on her face. She had run into Ji Yunzhang three times on the street in the past two days, and they were always the same person.

In her previous life, she had already sent Liuyan to the kitchen. Although she was able to take advantage of the situation later, although Ji Yunzhang was not at home at this time, he had never been in and out with Liuyan.

Rong Peilan has a soft personality, and now that it is her turn to go to the Marquis' Mansion, her life will be even more difficult than hers.

"elder sister."

Seeing that it was Xie Shuning, Rong Peilan was a little too lazy to deal with her.

I don’t know if it’s because my aunt took too good care of her, but she seems to be becoming more and more ignorant of the world.

But she still doesn't realize it.

"Sister, why do you look a little haggard?" Xie Shuning pretended to be a little surprised and raised his voice a little, "Sister, you have only been married for more than a month, how come you have lost so much weight!"

Rong Peilan took a deep breath speechlessly, and her waist felt a little tight again.

This place is close to the lake and not many people come here, but it is not far from the crowd either. If you speak louder, people will always hear some of the excitement.

"My sister has only been away from home for a month, why is her voice so loud?"

The two girls who were closer heard it and couldn't help but laugh.

There was also a beautiful young woman with a big belly next to the two girls. She looked at Xie Shuning and Rong Peilan with interest.

Xie Shuning didn't expect that Rong Peilan's mouth had become so sharp. The humble and submissive demeanor he used to display in Xie's house was just a bluff.

The corners of her lips twitched, "Sister is just a little happy to see her sister."

Then she said aggrievedly, "Sister, you have a very strong temper. If you are wronged, I don't mind letting you vent your anger."

Rong Peilan looked at her with surprise, "Are you serious, sister? I just don't have enough strength. I'll come back to practice and come back to you."

The girl in blue laughed out loud again and almost choked from laughing.

The words Xie Shuning had prepared froze in his mouth for an instant, and the expression on his face changed again and again.

Do you think you can lead her astray by acting crazy or stupid?

Thinking like this, he pretended to care about you, "Your sister has only been married for a month, and your brother-in-law has already taken your nameless concubine with him without any regard for your dignity. Your sister should take good care of the backyard."

"As the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, how can you let them step on your head?"

After Xie Shuning's heartfelt words, the voices around him became quieter.

Rong Peilan looked at her with a half-smile, "It seems that the elder sister cares about the younger sister very much."

Xie Shuning smiled even more, "That's natural."

Rong Peilan's smile suddenly disappeared, and her voice suddenly became colder, "Sister's concern turned out to embarrass me in public. I don't dare to accept such concern."

Xie Shuning's smile froze; Rong Peilan's words were like a slap in her face.

Of the two girls who laughed just now, the one wearing the blue jacket said sarcastically, "I've really opened my eyes in the Princess's Mansion today. There is someone who is even more talkative than Mrs. Wang in the kitchen of our mansion."

The girl in pink next to her pulled her sleeve, but she shook off her hand and walked in front of Xie Shuning.

"Which family are you from? I want to see which family can raise a girl like you."

The blue-dressed girl's words were blunt and harsh, turning Xie Shuning's face pale and blue.

She didn't recognize Xie Shuning, but Xie Shuning recognized her.

Princess Huayuan of Prince Qing’s Mansion.

In her previous life, she met Princess Hua Yuan at the Jin family’s wedding banquet. Hua Yuan and Jin’s eldest lady Liu were close friends.

Although Ji Yunzhang is a good friend of Mr. Jin, she is not familiar with Mrs. Jin.

Hua Yuan looked at Xie Shuning with disdain, "Why would Danyang invite someone like you? It's really disgusting!"

Xie Shuning's expression became even uglier.

In this life, she was replaced by Rong Peilan. Until now, she is still just the daughter of a fourth-rank civil official. Facing noble ladies like Hua Yuan and Danyang, no matter what their situation will be in the future, she cannot compete with them now.

Thinking of this, even though Xie Shuning was furious, he could only hold his nose and walk away in shame.

Rong Peilan blinked. She was ready to go all out, but this girl dealt with Xie Shuning in just a few words!

"Thank you for speaking up for justice, young lady."

Hua Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly, then looked around Rong Peilan twice.

"Are you Ji Saner's wife?"

Just when Rong Peilan was confused.

Hua Yuan said with a sigh, "What a beautiful flower stuck in cow dung."
