Chapter 8 Return 1
Xie Shuning knew that everything Rong Peilan had now was just a flash in the pan, but she still couldn't hide her jealousy.

She looked at Rong Peilan with a sneer in her heart, then held her hand like a close sister.

"Sister, I heard that Prince Ji has been behaving absurdly, hanging out in brothels and gambling dens every day, and even went to Yinhualou with his friends yesterday. If you have been wronged, you must speak up."

Everyone in the Xie family nodded their heads after hearing this. That was right. The kind of person that Prince Ji was had been rumored for a long time. It was just that Prince Ji was born into a good family, being the only son of Marquis Xinling. If the marquis's mansion had had another son, his status would have been gone.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Rong Peilan with pity. An orphan with no one to rely on would probably have a hard time in the Marquis' Mansion.

Rong Peilan blinked and did not respond to her words, but asked, "How did cousin know the whereabouts of the prince?"

The smile on Xie Shuning's face froze. How did she know that? Of course it was something that happened in her previous life.

In the previous life, on the second day after getting married, Ji Yunzhang went to a brothel to drink with his friends. Drinking wine after getting married, how could she put her face? She was so angry that she took people to the brothel to look for him, and the two ended up having a big fight in front of the brothel!
Ji Yunzhang even said bluntly in front of outsiders that if he had known she was a shrew, he would never marry her, and said that she was not even as good as a finger of the girls in the brothel.

But such a secret naturally cannot be revealed.

"Yes... Yuzhu saw the prince entering Yinhua Tower when she went shopping yesterday."

As Xie Shuning said this, he pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "Although my sister's parents are both dead, we in the Xie family still treat her as our own child. Who would have thought that as soon as my sister came into the family, Yuzhu, Taoxi and other maids were all sent back. Now my sister doesn't even have anyone to serve her!"

"Sister, if you have any suffering, you must speak it out. Even if they are from the Marquis' Mansion, so what? Our Xie Family will support you!"

Everyone in the Xie family nodded repeatedly, wanting to know more secrets of the Marquis's Mansion, but they dared not say a word. At least among their group of relatives, none of them could compete with Marquis Xinling.

Xie Shuning secretly glanced at Rong Peilan's face again, but he still didn't see any embarrassment on her face from being exposed.

Her eyes changed slightly and she added another handful of firewood.

"Everyone in Yanjing knows about Prince Ji's behavior. He has a lover in a brothel outside, and a woman named Liuyan beside him. Let's not talk about the outsiders, but I'm afraid that little bitch Liuyan has been Prince Ji's bedmate for a long time."

She looked at the people in the hall, all with different expressions and craning their necks to watch the show, and she held a handkerchief and pretended to cry.

"My sister is such a miserable person. Her aunt and uncle passed away early, and I thought she finally found a good match. But who knew that the Marquis' Mansion was so powerful that it bullied people and made my sister unreliable."

Liuyan, who was waiting outside the flower hall, turned pale and blue in the face.

This, this girl from the Xie family is so outspoken, she is so shameless in front of the Xie family. How can she look like a lady from a noble family! Fortunately, she didn't marry into the family!

Everyone's expressions changed when they looked at Rong Peilan. They had come to the right place today. Today, they had heard enough gossip about the Marquis' Mansion.

Young masters of aristocratic families are not allowed to take concubines before marriage, but some of them take concubines as maids. This is common, but if the maid is kept by their side to serve them all the time, that is not ordinary.

Rong Peilan's expression was a little strange. "Cousin, it's true that Liuyan is a maid in the Marquis' Mansion, but where did you get the news?"

A few of the Xie family members who had some foresight now figured out the whole thing.

Lan Jie'er had only been married for three days. How did Ning Jie'er know all this? How sincere was Ning Jie'er's hasty confirmation?
Xie Shuning thought he had pried open Rong Peilan's mouth, and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

She naturally couldn't say that these were all her experiences in her previous life. Although Liuyan didn't lift the concubine at this time, she would lift the concubine with a big belly later. It was impossible for her to suppress it. Who knows if she was taken away early. "Sister, it is common for some disciples of this family to have concubines. As the mistress, you still have to have your own way!"

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and covered her mouth in fear, saying, "On the first day my sister came home, all the maids and servants were driven out. There was no one around her, so it's no wonder that she was trampled on by a concubine."

The surroundings were silent except for the slightest gasps, as if everyone was feeling excited and stimulated by having a glimpse into the secrets of the Marquis' Mansion.

Xie Shuning became even more proud. In her previous life, when she got married, her mother gave all the capable women around her to her, and she could not live a good life in the quagmire of the Marquis' Mansion.

On the first day of her marriage, she learned from the maid that the marquis's mansion had actually built a new garden, but Ji Yunzhang didn't like it so he decorated the new house in Yuhui Garden.

She took the initiative to move from Yuhui Garden to Xinyuan, but Ji Yunzhang got angry and refused to even enter the Xinyuan. They did not consummate their marriage on their wedding night, causing those gossipy women in the first house to gossip about her for years.

She didn't believe that Rong Peilan could get through all of these things.

Could it be that she has three heads and six arms and can do extraordinary things?

Rong Peilan felt speechless. How come Xie Shuning became even more stupid?

When the Marquis's Mansion made the decision, her uncle warned her to keep a low profile and wait for her marriage, but she made it known to everyone. Now that the bride has changed, no one knows what kind of rumors have spread outside.

It is said that the Marquis's Mansion would rather have an orphan than the legitimate daughter of the Xie family.

Now she is returning to her parents' home, the Xie family. She will have an unbreakable relationship with the Xie family throughout her life.

If any unpleasant words were heard from the return banquet, would the Xie family be able to get away with it by just splashing her with dirty water?
Rong Peilan looked at Xie Shuning leisurely.

"Sister, you seem to be hoping that my sister will have a hard time surviving in the Marquis' Mansion."

Xie Shuning's face changed slightly. He didn't expect her to say it so bluntly.

"Sister...sister, why do you think like this? I just..."

Rong Peilan interrupted, "I just want to see how an orphan like me, who has no support and no father or brother, can survive in the Marquis's Mansion, and how I will cry bitterly at the Xie family's homecoming banquet."

Song didn't expect Rong Peilan to be so ruthless and not give her face at all.

I really raised an ungrateful person.

Song, who had only wanted to watch from the sidelines, could not help but speak out, "Sister Lan, what you said is really hurtful. You have lived in our family for six years, and your aunt treats you as her own daughter. Your sister is just concerned about you and her words were a bit sharp, but you think so badly of your sister."

"Sister Lan is very capable, but now she has become rich and powerful. She looks down on our Xie family and doesn't acknowledge the kindness of her uncle's family in raising her. This really makes my aunt sad."

Oh, use filial piety to pressure her?
Rong Peilan raised her hands above her head and knelt down to pay her respects, "I will never forget the kindness of my uncle and aunt in raising me."

Song's eyelids jumped. Such a grand ceremony was only used to honor parents and clansmen. If Rong Peilan was allowed to pay respect to her in such an occasion, people would say that the Xie family was bullying an orphan girl.
