I fought back after reselling my engagement

Su Qinnan didn't like to hear this and pouted. Her brother and mother had both talked about this recently, but she just couldn't do it.

“It is very difficult to explain things in this world. Make it convenient for others and for yourself.

Those who look fierce and evil are not necessarily bad people, and those who look kind and gentle are not necessarily good people.

Do not rely on your strength, do not bully the weak, do not fear the wicked, and do not bully the good..."

Su Qiniang said repeatedly: "Good sister, please stop talking. Next time, just don't bully or laugh at her."

"You and her met in Yueyang because your grandfather was appointed to a post in Yueyang. You are old friends. Who knows, she may not be the one to help you when you are in trouble. You and her are also half-acquaintances, so why bother to make things difficult for her? In your opinion, Mao Liuniang was quite cunning in hiding her shortcomings earlier, but how do you know that she was not forced to do so?"

Zhen Su only hoped that Su Qiniang could have more friends. Su Qiniang did not listen, but Xie Siniang, who came with her, listened very seriously. In the past, she only knew that Su Qiniang kept talking about how despicable Mao Liuniang was and how she had a bad character. Although Xie Siniang knew Mao Liuniang, she had never been on good terms with her and had never even spoken to her.

Zhen Su looked at Xie Si Niang gently and said to her, "Sister Xie Si, please remember my instructions. Do not rely on your strength or bully the weak. Do not be afraid of evil people or bully the good. Only by sticking to your original intention can you succeed."

Xie Si Niang said gratefully, "I'll remember what my cousin said!"

Zhen Su held her hand and said, "It's a good thing that you can successfully join the company today. You can pick a piece of jewelry that suits you from my jewelry box later. It will be my gift to you!"

Su Qiniang immediately shouted, "Sister, I want one too! I passed the assessment and joined the company today."

Zhen Su reached out and gently touched Su Qiniang's head twice, "When have I ever forgotten you?"

She called Chunyue and took out her jewelry box, "Fourth sister Xie is the guest, she gets to choose first this time."

The jewelry box was opened. It was a rotatable box with five layers, which were opened in a staggered manner. Jewelry was neatly placed on each layer, including hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Although they were not a complete set, each piece was extremely exquisite.

Su Qiniang's eyes widened, and she immediately saw the layer where the gold and jade bracelets were placed. "Gold-wrapped red agate bracelet, sister, I like this, the combination of gold and red is the most festive and beautiful."

Xie Si Niang walked up to them. Although the Xie family was a relative by marriage, they were not members of the Su family. Su Qin Niang said she liked this pair, so she couldn't choose. There was also a pair of mutton-fat white jade bracelets and a pair of jadeite bracelets. Either pair was worth a lot of money.

She picked out a lotus hairpin inlaid with gold and rubies from the layer of hairpins. The value of this hairpin was no less than two thousand taels of silver. It was a rare treasure. Its texture and style showed that it came from the palace.

Zhen Su had a faint smile on his face.

Su Qinnan was very unhappy that Xie Sinan chose this one. Among the many hairpins and hairpins, this ruby ​​lotus hairpin was a rare treasure and was one of the best among the top-grade hairpins.

Zhen Su took out the pair of gold-wrapped red agate bracelets and put them on Su Qinniang's wrists. "Congratulations, sister, on passing the Pearl Society's assessment."

Su Qiniang looked at her snow-white wrist, turned it over and over again with both hands, and examined it carefully: "I knew it would suit me best, it really looks good."

Chunyue took the jewelry box back into the house.

Su Qiniang said, "Sister, tomorrow is the third competition for calligraphy, painting, and poetry. Are you going to watch it?"

Although Zhen Su had the ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting, she had no experience in appreciating poetry. The experience she had was only from her past two lives, so she decided not to go and embarrass herself. "I'm not going."

"Sister, it must be boring being at home alone, why don't you go and have a look?" Su Qinnan continued to lobby. Mao Yuanniang also asked her to plead that Zhen Su must go and have a look as well. Although this was a talent competition among the young ladies, it was hosted by Princess Changle and Princess Shouning.

Princess Changle's status in the court is on par with the Ninth Princess. She is Prince Gong's most beloved daughter and his only legitimate daughter. Although Prince Gong's mansion has concubines, those three concubines had married more than ten years ago. They are respectfully called princesses but do not even have a title or a fiefdom. How can they be compared with Princess Changle?

Zhen Su said in a warm voice: "Tomorrow, several stewards will come to the mansion to answer questions. I have to check the account books. This is a monthly routine and cannot be delayed."

Su Qiniang said coquettishly, "Then go for half a day, go to Mingzhu Pavilion in Yaxian Manor in the morning, and look at the account book in the afternoon? Good sister, is this okay?"

Zhen Su watched Su Qiniang pestering her to agree, and she narrowed her eyes slightly, looking up at a jade hairpin in Su Qiniang's hair, "Where did this red jade hairpin come from?"

It's not that they are bad, but whether it is red agate, ruby ​​or red jade, they are not suitable for Su Qinniang to wear. She is too young. Usually, this kind of bright red color can only be worn by young girls who have just come of age or newly married women.

Su Qinnan was a little young, and the bright red and purple could not overpower the color.

It is called the red jade hairpin, also known as the blood jade hairpin. Just because of this name, many people think that wearing a red jade hairpin is somewhat unlucky.

Su Qinnan rolled her eyes.

Xie Si Niang said, "Before I went out today, I didn't see my seventh cousin wearing this hairpin."

Su Qinnan just came back from outside.

"This..." Su Qiniang stuttered, "It was... it was given to me by Sister Mao, to congratulate me on joining the Pearl Society."

This red jade hairpin is of considerable value. Zhen Su has quite some foresight.

Someone gave Su Qinniang a hairpin, and when she got home, she pestered her to attend the banquet.

With Su Qinnan's personality, I'm afraid she would sell out her relatives if she got any benefits.

Zhen Su lowered her head calmly. When she lowered her eyes, a cold light flashed across them. She tried hard to recall the person Su Qinniang married in her previous life. She still remembered that Su Qinniang married the nephew of Cui's natal family.

She doesn't know whether she is happy after marriage.

From her previous life until her "death from illness", Su Qinnan had been pregnant three times, but all of them failed to keep the baby. Later, she took two concubines for the son of the Cui family and raised the eldest son under her lap.

Given the temperament of my grandfather and uncle, they would not marry Su Qinniang back to the Cui family unless it was absolutely necessary. Could it be that Su Qinniang was a little confused? Or maybe she had disappointed my uncle and aunt, so they made such a decision.

Although the Cui family is a family of officials, their background is far inferior to that of the Su family.

When Cui married into the Su family, it was considered a marriage of high status, and when Su Qinnan married back into the Cui family, it was considered a marriage of low status.

Su Qiniang continued in a tender voice, "Sister, how about going to Mingzhu Pavilion to watch the calligraphy and painting and poetry group's entrance competition tomorrow?"

Zhen Su smiled slightly, "Why do you always drag me along? You wouldn't sell your sister just because of the hairpin on her head, would you?"

She was half joking, but when Su Qinnan heard it, her cheeks suddenly turned red: I know!

knew……

My cousin knows everything.

Mao Yuanniang gave her a valuable gift, hoping that she would bring Zhen Su to Mingzhu Pavilion.

She said, "Sister Su Qi, as long as you ask Princess Jiarou to come to Mingzhu Pavilion to watch the fun, I will give this hairpin to you as a gift."

This is the condition!

Being seen through and exposed, Su Qinniang felt ashamed and angry.
