Jiao Niang still remembers that she was pregnant at that time and was favored by King Rui. Her father was promoted. The Hua family had a high rise and there were endless proposals for marriage. The most valuable one was the Duke of China's Mansion.

Although the prince of Duke of China lost his wife, he had a noble status and countless people wanted to marry him. However, Duke of China was very optimistic about King Rui. Even if the Hua family had only two concubines left, they would have to become in-laws.

As Li Niang was the leader, this marriage naturally fell on her.

But the night before getting engaged, Li Niang was found drowned in the lotus pond, and Rouniang, who was the alternative, naturally replaced Li Niang to get married.

But Jiao Niang would not forget that night, Prince Rui went to war and she went back to her parents' home to stay for a while. Because it was hot, she went for a walk in the garden. Behind the rockery, she watched Rou Niang push Li Niang into the lotus pond.

She was cowardly and weak, and did not dare to speak out, for fear of revealing that she would cause death, and even more for fear that it would damage the reputation of the Hua family if it was spread, so she had to ruin the matter.

As the saying goes, a dog that can bite people does not bark. Even though Li Niang usually relies on the main house and always relies on Wan Niang's power to run rampant in the mansion, she always excludes her. However, compared with Rouniang, it is much simpler. On the contrary, Rouniang, who is not vicious and vicious, is truly terrible.

The girl smiled sweetly, and couldn't see any grudges. "Sister I'm here just right, I'm packing up, let's go together."

He turned around and said to Li's mother: "Mom, don't forget what I told you."

After saying that, he took Shui Xiang and Rou Niang out of the house together.

Old Lady Hua lives in Bailingtang, not far from Xiyan Pavilion. She exits from the corner gate in the southwest corner, passes through a bridge, and passes through a corridor, which is the east side of the old lady's main room.

As soon as the two of them turned from the corridor, they met Wanniang who was going to pay tribute to her, wearing a big red plum blossom patterned cloak with her round face, which was very festive.

They gave each other a fair gift, and the three sisters walked together.

Wan Niang was arrogant and walked halfway before talking to them.

The sweet girl Yu Guang glanced at her, and her heart moved, and said to Rou Niang: "I heard that the fourth sister received praise from the Marquis of Chang'an a few days ago. She said that you are both talented and beautiful, and are beautiful and wise?"

Rou Niang's cheeks were flushed and she lowered her head shyly, "Fifth sister, don't joke with me anymore. It's Chang'an Hou Miu who praised me, so I can't take it seriously."

"Missing? Chang'an Hou is famous for his poetry and calligraphy. He said that the fourth sister is good, so it must be good." Jiao Niang glanced at Wan Niang, and then said ambiguously with Rou Niang: "I heard that Chang'an Hou is handsome and elegant, and the women in the city are flocking to him. If he can get a word of praise, many people can't even envy him. Could it be..."

Rou Niang was embarrassed, bit her lip and said angrily: "Fifth sister, don't talk nonsense."

"Yes, don't talk nonsense if you don't know!" When Jiao Niang mentioned the three words Chang'an Hou, Wan Niang listened with her ears. At this time, Rouniang and the two of them were ambiguous, so how could they hold back their anger?

He looked down on Rou Niang and said disdainfully: "What kind of character is Chang'an Hou? How could he fall in love with a concubine? It's just a saying, "What's there to show off?"

He turned around and continued to walk forward, raised his chin, "A person like Chang'an Hou married, it is obvious that he is a woman's family background and identity. So what if he writes good poems and essays? What's the article for scholars?"

Wan Niang fell in love with Chang'an Hou. She took some effort to marry him in her previous life, but as far as Jiao Niang knows, Rou Niang had an ambiguous relationship with Chang'an Hou in private.

The red color on Rou Niang's face slowly faded away, and there were signs of twitching on her cheeks. Jiao Niang looked at her and covered the smile at the corner of her mouth quietly. Then she spread her eyes to Wan Niang's cloak and said, "The second sister's dress is so beautiful, with exquisite embroidery, and the plum blossoms are vivid, just like the real, are they newly made, right?"

Wan Niang likes to be flattered the most. She stopped and turned around, touched the embroidery on her clothes, and showed off: "If you say you don't know, you don't know. You can't see that this material is made of Yunjin, and one piece is less than a hundred gold. Oh, by the way, I forgot that you were filial piety a few days ago. When you were rewarded in the palace, you didn't come out, but even if you came out, you wouldn't get such good material."

She looked at Rou Niang with contemptuous eyes, "I remember that the fourth sister wanted to compete with me that day, but she could not compete with anyone. She was like this, and she was like this. Is the fourth sister said I was right?"

Jiao Niang could hear Rou Niang's breathing subtly, but she saw that her expression was normal, she smiled at Wan Niang gently, and said, "What the second sister is saying is that you can only wear this dress to look good."

The curtains in the old lady's house were lifted up high, and the nanny who was serving came out to invite them into the house. Wanniang hummed softly, turned her head and walked into the house, "It's good that you know, it's not yours, you can't take it away no matter how you rob it."

Jiao Niang pretended not to understand anything, and looked at Rou Niang with her big watery eyes, puzzled: "What are you human, you rob me? What mystery did the second sister beat me?"

Rou Niang smiled slowly and took her hand into the room, "There is no mystery, it's just a joke."

She pretended to be relaxed, but the girl felt that her bones were about to be crushed.

The room was very warm, and the two basins on the ground were burning brightly. Old Mrs. Hua sat on the big kang, her eyes closed and her lips moved up and down, chanting Buddha's name.

It was not until the nanny put it in her ear that she said that some girls were coming to pay their respects, and she opened her eyes.

After the salute, the maid brought a few slaps and the girl sat down in order.

The visitor from Li Niang replied that she caught a cold last night and could not pay tribute to the old lady.

After hearing this, the old lady sneered, obviously not believing it. Seeing this, Rou Niang said, "My third sister was indeed cold yesterday. She also wanted to come over to pay her respects to her grandmother this morning, but she really couldn't get up."

The old lady glanced at her faintly and said, "It snowed yesterday, but there was no wind. Why did she get cold? Old woman, I am old and my body is useless. I got sick after a lot of trouble. What kind of illness did she get young and strong? I think she was deliberately lazy."

Rou Niang was about to explain, but the old lady continued, "You don't have to defend her. It's really a mother's belly, and none of them have the truth."

Rou Niang was embarrassed, and saw Wan Niang gloating on the side, and became even more embarrassed. She looked up at the girl sitting opposite her and looked at her looking for help.

The girl looked at her and stood up and said, "It's time for grandma to take medicine at this time. I'll serve you."

The old lady looked at her with less sharp eyes and said, "It's because you are determined. I still remember when my old woman will take medicine."

The girl smiled and said, "My grandmother is a bit by bit. We grandchildren are all in mind. This morning, my fourth sister told me that if my grandmother is not good at taking this medicine, she will invite an imperial physician to prescribe a good dose of medicine and must recuperate her grandmother."

The old lady looked at Rou Niang and nodded, "You are not bad."

Rou Niang was in a good mood and threw her gratitude to Jiao Niang.

The old lady's medicine is made into pills, and she can take it with boiling water when she is taken. The girl served her and asked for water to rinse her mouth.

Seeing that Wan Niang had the opportunity to flatter her, she hurriedly poured a cup of tea to bring her. Unexpectedly, she left too quickly and stepped on the corner of her skirt. She leaned forward and was about to fall, and she screamed in a flash.
