After Ruan Sanniang left, Ruan Xi pretended not to see the flickering eyes of the two maids, and sighed with a smile.
"Why did my mother let my third sister come to me to borrow jewelry, if it spreads out, it will not be good."
"Suyu, Suzhu, what do you think?"
Ruan Xi also guessed the intention of the aunt Zhang's intentions, didn't she just want to scare her and make her confront Ruan Sanniang
Ruan Xi doesn't play tricks.
At this moment, Suyu's anger was still in her heart. When she heard what the young lady said, she curled her lips: "Who knows what madam thinks, she even murdered young lady back then."
In Suyu's heart, the wife is not only vicious but also cruel.
Suzhu also thinks the same way: "That is, the servant thinks that Miss San doesn't need to lie."
"Miss, do we want to spread this matter?" Suyu looked eager to try.
Ruan Xi chuckled, her eyes were cold: "Tell me, why don't you tell me, if I don't make any moves, my mother will think I'm a soft bun."
Who told Zhang that she hadn't recognized the essence of Ruan Sanniangzhu's teammate, and she would be sorry for the opportunity she sent here if she didn't return.
Even if Mrs. Zhang knew it, she would only swallow this breath first. For such a trivial matter, Mrs. Zhang didn't want to lose the reputation of being small-minded.
"Miss, don't worry, this servant will definitely handle this matter well." Su Yu and Su Zhu agreed in unison. Both of them were very excited. After holding back for so long, the young lady finally made a move.
Ruan Xi looked at the fighting spirit of the two, the corners of her lips curled up, and she got up and went to take a nap in the house.
I believe Suyu and Suzhu will not disappoint her.
Suyu and Suzhu discussed in private, and finally talked to Yang's mother. After receiving Yang's approval, the two started to act.
When they saw Mrs. Qian, the most talkative in the mansion, passing by, the two sang together and deliberately complained about Madam asking Ruan Sanniang to borrow jewelry.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qian's eyes lit up.
No wonder she saw that Miss San had a jewelry box in her hand after she came out of Chengxin Garden. It turned out that the madam asked Miss San to borrow jewelry from Miss Si.
Mrs. Qian rolled her eyes, and heard that Miss San would also attend Mrs. Wen's birthday banquet tomorrow, so the matter of Miss San borrowing jewelry might not be fake.
In private, Mrs. Qian excitedly gossiped with a few women, and the women wentssiped with other servants.
After the news spread, all the aunts in the mansion knew about it, and they all secretly contributed to the flames. In just half an afternoon, the rumor spread throughout the uncle's mansion.
Mrs. Zhang soon learned of the bad news, and was angry and annoyed. Before she could do anything, the old lady sent someone to ask her to go over and give her a hard training.
In the end, Ruan Sanniang was not allowed to attend Mrs. Wen's birthday banquet.
Mrs. Zhang hated the high-profile impostors and Si Niang that dead girl, even a small matter could make a big fuss. After she suppressed the rumor, she called Ruan Sanniang to lecture her.
"Sanniang, you have no brains yet, did I ask you to borrow jewelry from Siniang?"
Ruan Sanniang looked aggrieved: "I didn't lie, it was my mother who asked me to borrow it, I remember it clearly."
Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she fell on her back. A counterfeit is a counterfeit, as stupid as a pig, and even cheated her.
"Can't you just say that you want to borrow it yourself? Can Si Niang make things difficult for you?"
"My fourth sister and I had a dirty time, if I don't move out of my mother, my fourth sister will definitely not lend me jewelry."
Ruan Sanniang was even more aggrieved, and her mother didn't turn to her. Although she hurt her mother's reputation, she didn't do it on purpose.
The fourth sister is too narrow-minded, and she still spreads such a trivial matter.
Seeing the aggrieved look of this impostor, Mrs. Zhang almost vomited blood out of breath.
She felt that if she continued to talk to the counterfeit, she would probably be angry with herself, so Zhang directly waved Ruan Sanniang to go back.
When Ruan Sanniang left, Mrs. Zhang smashed the things in the room with a gloomy expression.
After a while, the house was in a mess.
Neither Madam Sun nor Mama Gao dared to say anything. After Mrs. Zhang's anger subsided, Mama Sun called someone to come in to clean up the house. Seeing the fake third lady, why don't you let her get married earlier?"
Mama Sun: "..."
Madam Gao, an idiot, what kind of bad idea did she come up with
Mrs. Zhang laughed angrily: "Mother Gao, are you being too confused? Don't even think about letting that impostor get married earlier. I will definitely not give her any dowry. She doesn't deserve it."
Mama Gao turned pale.
"But, but the counterfeit Third Young Lady has a marriage contract with Second Young Master Qi, and they will marry sooner or later."
Mama Sun glanced at Mama Gao speechlessly, not sympathizing with her at all, knowing that Madam hated the fake Third Miss to death, and still saying such things, she deserved to be scolded.
"Gao Mama, you're really going back as you live, so what if you have a marriage contract, and it's not impossible to break it off. I will definitely not let the counterfeit have an easy life!"
Zhang's eyes were full of hatred.
Gao Mama finally realized what she said, and she wanted to cry but had no tears.
At this time, Ruan Sanniang didn't know that when she was exposed, her marriage with Qi Yue'an would end no matter what.
She also felt that the initiative of her marriage contract with Qi Yuean was in her own hands.
…
As soon as Ruan Xi woke up, she learned from Suyu and Suzhu the rumors in the mansion and the news that Mrs. Zhang was called to Ningshou Hall by the old lady.
Seeing Suyu and Suzhu's complacent looks, Ruan Xi asked in surprise, "How did this matter spread so quickly?"
Suyu and Suzhu giggled, and quickly told them about their intentional complaints when the naughty Mrs. Qian passed by.
Ruan Xi smiled slightly and praised: "Well done!" Then he generously gave the two generous rewards.
Mrs. Qian is an old man in the mansion, although her mouth is broken, but her daughter is the old lady's confidant maid, and sometimes when Mrs. Zhang fights with the aunts in the mansion, she will rely on Mrs. Qian's mouth.
Unexpectedly, Suyu and Suzhu also took advantage of Mrs. Qian.
Suyu and Suzhu were very happy to receive the silver reward, and they didn't take all the credit for it, so they recruited Mama Yang.
Only then did Ruan Xi realize that it was Mother Yang's idea to use Mrs. Qian, and she was deeply moved.
No wonder the noble ladies are accompanied by one or two competent mothers.
With the guidance of experienced mothers, things will be much easier.
At the beginning, she was always wary of Mama Yang, but after knowing Mama Yang's real background, she trusted Mama Yang a little more.
Ruan Xi also gave Yang's mother a generous reward.
"Miss, this servant also heard some news, I don't know if it's true or not." Suyu hesitated for a while but decided to speak out.
If it is true, Miss should be very happy.
"What news?" Ruan Xi raised an eyebrow and asked.
"I heard that the old lady forbade the third lady to attend Mrs. Wen's birthday banquet."
Ruan Xi was surprised.
"However, this servant thinks it's impossible. If it's true, Miss San should come over and return the jewelry."
"It's hard to say." Ruan Xi intuitively felt that Ruan Sanniang would definitely show up tomorrow morning.
Suyu and Suzhu both sighed.
That's right, after all, the third lady is the eldest daughter of the uncle's mansion, so how could the madam not take her to the princess mansion.
Ruan Xi gave them a funny look.
Because he was going to meet Mrs. Wen tomorrow, Ruan Xi continued to recharge his batteries, read calligraphy and paintings, enjoy flowers and scenery, and feel relaxed and happy.
On the contrary, Uncle Chengyi was in an extremely bad mood.
Although the rumor that Mrs. Zhang asked her daughter to borrow jewelry from the concubine was suppressed, but when Uncle Chengyi came back, a servant reported this to him, and Uncle Chengyi's face turned dark instantly.
"Ms. Zhang has been getting more and more outrageous recently."
He went to the main courtyard with a gloomy face, didn't know what to say, left blankly and went to Chengxin Garden.
Ruan Xi was not surprised when she saw Uncle Daddy coming, she believed that Uncle Daddy would not come here to scold her for making a fuss out of a molehill.
But Ruan Xi was not stupid enough to admit to her face that the rumor was spread at her behest.
"The father forgives the sin because the daughter is incapable of discipline. If the father punishes the daughter, the daughter will never complain."
Uncle Chengyi is a person who puts interests first, so he doesn't think that Siniang's actions are wrong. People are a little bit temperamental. Although the jewelry given to Siniang by his mother is not as precious as Mrs. Wen, it is not a dignified aunt of the Zhang family who pulls her face down and makes her three The reason why the mother came to borrow jewelry.
Given the status of the Bo Mansion, what about wearing second-class jewelry
If Si Niang seemed to be soft and silent, Uncle Chengyi would still be disappointed.
Now seeing that Siniang is very stable, Uncle Chengyi can't tell the truth, but Uncle Chengyi is very satisfied with Siniang's performance.
"No, dad didn't mean to blame you, on the contrary, dad is very happy."
Si Niang is going to marry into the Wen family in the future, she must not be soft-tempered, otherwise even a servant will dare to step on her head.
That's fine.
Uncle Chengyi stroked his short beard with a look of relief.
Ruan Xi: "..."
She found that she couldn't keep up with uncle's brain circuit.
"Si Niang, Mrs. Zhang is your mother after all. Whether you did it or not, you must not admit to spreading rumors. Just say that your servant girl couldn't see it and complained a few words that were heard and passed on." Sincerity Bo straightened his face and exhorted.
Ruan Xi blinked, and said with a blank face: "Father, this matter is indeed as you said, but before you came, I had already punished the maids who talked nonsense, and punished them for three months."
Who knows if Grandpa is cheating on her.
Anyway, the results of their investigation will not involve her.
After all, the original owner had borrowed jewelry from Ruan Sanniang at the beginning, and she borrowed ordinary jewelry, but she refused without hesitation. Now Ruan Sanniang pressured her to borrow the most precious jewelry from the old lady. It's normal for the master to feel wronged.
Sincerity Bo laughed.
Even he couldn't tell the truth from Siniang's performance, either it was as Siniang said, or it was Siniang's instruction, and he was inclined to the latter.
Under Mama Lin's teaching, Si Niang is getting better and better, while San Niang is getting more and more rebellious and stupid.
The balance in Uncle Chengyi's heart almost tilted towards Ruan Xi.
"Si Niang, you are going to meet Mrs. Wen tomorrow, how are you preparing for your birthday?"
Mrs. Zhang and the old lady were supposed to be responsible for this matter, but since it was related to Mrs. Wen, Uncle Chengyi was a little worried.
Mrs. Wen is the princess of the royal family, so she will definitely receive countless treasures and antique characters. As for the birthday gift from the younger generation, Mrs. Wen values the kindness more.
Ruan Xi was helpless, uncle had asked her several times, and her birthday gift was prepared two days ago.
"Father, I am the only one who excels in handwriting, so I burned incense and prayed and copied a copy of the Huayan Sutra for Mrs. Wen."
"This gift is quite satisfactory, it's not outstanding, it's safe, but you're only fourteen years old, you can do it if you want it." Chengyi nodded with a smile.
Ruan Xi smiled inwardly, what she wanted was to be safe, not to show off at Mrs. Wen's birthday banquet.
Almost all the men of the Wen family's age have become married or settled for marriage. This time, at Mrs. Wen's birthday banquet, as the fiancées of the Wen family's men, they will definitely compete with each other with all their strength.
As the fiancée of Wen Shangshu's eldest son, Ruan Xi is also the one with the lowest status in her family, so she will definitely be used as a stepping stone. In order to avoid other people's picks or troubles, it is the best policy to be safe.
The fight between women is cruel and realistic.
She wouldn't tell Uncle Uncle about these things.
When Bo Chengyi left, Ruan Xi recruited Suyu, Suzhu, and Yang's mother to come in and talk about it.
…
In the early morning of the next day, the dawn was slightly dew.
Ruan Xi put on a brand-new crimson skirt, the red gold jewelry inlaid with gemstones given by Mrs. Wen, and a pair of fine jade pendants around her waist. As she walked, the rings jingled, the voice was melodious, elegant and yet young girly. Lively and bright.
"Miss has been reborn under the guidance of Mama Lin, and her gestures are all elegant. The servants can hardly remember what Miss used to look like." Suyu looked at the carefully dressed lady and sighed.
Ruan Xi smiled slightly: "Okay, let's go to the main courtyard quickly, and don't keep parents waiting for a long time."
After finishing speaking, Ruan Xi turned and stepped out of the room to the main courtyard, followed by Suyu Suzhu and Mama Lin and Mama Yang.
In the hall of the main courtyard, everyone gathered together.
Uncle Chengyi and Mrs. Zhang had already dressed up and sat in the first place drinking tea.
Ruan Yuwen also stood aside.
Seeing the well-dressed Ruan Xi coming in, Uncle Cheng smiled in satisfaction, and Mrs. Zhang narrowed her eyes.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's go."
Uncle Chengyi immediately put down the teacup and got up, Mrs. Zhang hesitated to speak, and couldn't help but glance at the door.
Ruan Xi was slightly surprised, it seemed that the news Suyu found out yesterday was true, the old lady refused to let Ruan Sanniang go to the old lady's birthday banquet.
It's just that Ruan Xi has a bad premonition in his heart that Ruan Sanniang will definitely appear.
A group of people walked out of the gate of the main courtyard, and Ruan Yuwen smiled and walked to Ruan Xi to talk to her.
At the gate of the mansion, Ruan Xi's premonition came true. Ruan Sanniang was wearing a gorgeous dress and a set of exquisite jewelry, standing beside a carriage.
"Father, mother, you are finally out. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Ruan Sanniang greeted her cheerfully.
Uncle Chengyi's face darkened, and Mrs. Zhang secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking of the blatant threat of this imposter, Mrs. Zhang hated to death when she told her about the sterilization pills, and hurriedly settled the matter when the uncle was angry.
Sincerity Bohei looked at Mrs. Zhang with a sullen face for a long while, and finally threw up his sleeves and got into the carriage.
Ruan Yuwen looked at his mother worriedly, and went over to comfort her a few words, hating her fake sister so much, Zhang smiled and patted her son on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, your father will calm down soon."
After speaking, Mrs. Zhang got into the carriage with the support of Madam Sun, Ruan Yuwen said to the two younger sisters and got on the horse beside him.
Ruan Xi, who was still in place, raised her eyebrows. Mrs. Zhang and Ruan Sanniang were really interesting. After seeing the jewelry on Ruan Sanniang, an unknown smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
In fact, this set of red gold inlaid gemstone jewelry she wears is quite similar to the set of jewelry given by the old lady. It is just a high-end atmosphere, exquisite workmanship, and the inlaid gemstones are huge and clear. Against this background, another set of jewelry is also quite precious. Forcibly lining up a low-grade imitation.
With such a strong contrast, whoever wears that set of jewelry will be embarrassed.
In fact, this is also one of the reasons why she is willing to lend to Ruan Sanniang.
When Ruan Sanniang's eyes fell on Ruan Xi, she also discovered this cruel fact.
Qiao's face darkened in an instant, and she was trembling with anger.
Ruan Xi smiled brightly at her, and when Ruan Sanniang wanted to rush over, she simply turned around and got into the carriage.
Suyu Suzhu was very relieved.
Ruan Sanniang held back her anger.
After driving for more than half an hour, the carriage finally arrived at the princess mansion.
This time there were several times more carriages than the ones I saw when I came to the flower feast last time, and the specifications were different, but the marks on the carriages were very eye-catching, almost filling up the entire street.
There are dozens of stewards responsible for welcoming guests.
Although Chengyi Bo's Mansion has a post, its status is only considered to be middle-low among the elites in the capital, and it is not conspicuous among the elites.
The steward who came to welcome them arranged for their carriage to be parked, and asked them to take them into the mansion.
The princess's mansion is bustling with visitors.
The male guests enter the main hall through the main entrance, and the female relatives enter through the side entrance.
Mrs. Zhang led Ruan Sanniang and Ruan Xi to the main hall under the leadership of the mother in charge.
Ruan Sanniang looks quite peaceful, if one ignores the excitement in her eyes.
When we arrived at the spacious, bright and joyful main hall, all the male guests sat on the left, and all the female relatives sat on the right.
In the middle is the position of the birthday star. The auspicious time has not yet arrived, and Mrs. Wen has not yet appeared.
Ruan Xi and his party attracted the attention of most people within a short while.
Wen Tingzhou was greeting guests of the same generation at the male guest's side, and when he saw Ruan Xi coming, the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.
Xu Shi had a tacit understanding, and after sitting down, Ruan Xi looked up and met Wen Tingzhou's smiling eyes in the distance.
