Qiao Jinlan felt extremely wronged: "I didn't lie."

As she spoke, she displayed the same attitude as the original owner—unable to express her grievances.

The original owner was bullied before, and it was clearly not her fault, but in the end it was her fault.

She is always the one who is punished.

When Old Madam Qiao saw her petty appearance, she was furious: "You haven't lied yet?"

"I asked the prince if he was good to you, and you said yes!"

"now what?"

"No one can see the prince, and you want to snatch your sister's return gift. How else do you want to lie?"

Old Madam Qiao was angry, but Mrs. Tian was very happy.

However, Tian was used to putting on a show: "Mom, please don't get angry. If you get angry, we will all feel bad."

"I'm not angry? How can I not be angry? Someone is deliberately making me angry!" Old Madam Qiao glared at Qiao Jinlan viciously, as if she wanted to eat her.

This useless thing!

What else can I do besides lying to her?

Tian was embarrassed and made excuses for Qiao Jinlan: "The eldest lady must have her reasons for doing this."

"Mother, why don't you listen to what the young lady has to say?"

Old Madam Qiao snorted coldly and gritted her teeth in annoyance and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to her."

"Come on, speak!"

Old Madam Qiao was in a very serious mood that unless Qiao Jinlan gave a reasonable explanation, this matter would not be over today.

Qiao Jinlan sneered in her heart. Are you angry now?

They will be angry soon.

No matter what Qiao Jinlan thought, she still looked frightened and panicked: "Grandma, I didn't lie."

"Those return gifts are mine."

Qiao Jinlan opened her eyes and lied with a look of grievance, which made Qiao Jiaojiao laugh: "Sister, I know you care about your reputation. But, no matter how much you care about your reputation, you can't talk nonsense like this, right?"

"It's clearly my return gift, how can you say it's yours?"

"Who would believe this if I tell them?"

All the women in the Qiao family echoed her voice. They had just taken Qiao Jiaojiao's things, so naturally they stood on her side without hesitation.

Qiao Jinlan is still the isolated one, just like before she got married.

Qiao Jinlan bit her lower lip lightly with her pearly teeth, and seemed to have mustered up the courage to speak: "But my sister's husband lives in Anyang Marquis's Mansion, and all his food, clothing and expenses are paid for by the mansion."

"My cousin came to the Marquis's Mansion with nothing, so how could she have these things to give to my sister as a return gift?"

As soon as Qiao Jinlan finished speaking, the room suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The women of the Qiao family looked at each other. Tian's face turned pale and blue, while Qiao Jiaojiao's face turned red, as if she had been slapped dozens of times. It was so embarrassing.

Old Madam Qiao suddenly remembered the status of the man Qiao Jiaojiao married, and her joy suddenly cooled.

Qiao Jinlan twisted her handkerchief and stammered, "It doesn't matter what my sister says, but if this matter is reported back to Anyang Marquis's Mansion and my cousin knows about it..."

"My cousin has lived in Anyang Marquis's Mansion for so many years, and she has always been cautious and abided by her duties. Now my sister is like this..."

Qiao Jinlan did not say the rest, but from the gloomy expression on Old Madam Qiao's face, it was clear that the effect she wanted was achieved.

"You're talking nonsense!" Qiao Jiaojiao stood up angrily and glared at Qiao Jinlan.

"Grandma, these are what my mother-in-law gave me, asking me to bring them back to honor the elders at home." Qiao Jiaojiao turned her head and looked at Old Lady Qiao pitifully.

She is the best at pretending to be pitiful, and my grandmother really likes her tricks.

Old Madam Qiao frowned. She wanted to believe Qiao Jiaojiao, but the problem was... the facts did not allow her to believe it.

"If grandma doesn't believe it... why don't we go to Anyang Marquis' Mansion and confront him directly?" Qiao Jinlan took a deep breath and said it with all her might, as if she had made up her mind.

"These are obviously the Marquis's things, how did they become my cousin's?"

"If Madam Hou knew that her things were used by someone else... Madam Hou would naturally be magnanimous and would not say anything for the sake of our family."

"But... my cousin has been branded a thief for nothing. How can she live her life in the future? How can she bring my cousin to visit the Marquis' Mansion?"

Qiao Jinlan calmly emphasized the word "guest" slightly.

She is the owner of Anyang Marquis' Mansion, and Qiao Jiaojiao is just a guest living there.

"You're talking nonsense..." Qiao Jiaojiao was about to retort, but Tian covered her mouth all of a sudden.

"Kid, those are your sister's return gifts. Do you need to take them and give them to your family on behalf of your sister?" Tian scolded with a cold face.

Qiao Jiaojiao wanted to refute unconvinced, but was stopped by Tian's glare.

Qiao Jiaojiao knew that her mother would definitely not harm her, so she could only shut her mouth in frustration for the time being.

"You are just too enthusiastic, kid." Tian was trying to whitewash the situation, but no one in the room was a fool. That was not what Qiao Jiaojiao said when she gave the gift just now.

Tian didn't care whether others believed it or not, as long as he could cover up the matter.

"Come, let me go to the kitchen. Your sister is back today, so I specially made your sister's favorite food. Come with me and take a look." Tian found an excuse and dragged Qiao Jiaojiao away.

After Qiao Jiaojiao walked away, she lowered her voice and complained unwillingly: "Mom, those things were really prepared for me by my mother-in-law. Qiao Jinlan is clearly..."

"I know." Tian said.

Qiao Jiaojiao widened her eyes in disbelief: "Mom, you know you still..."

"You are confused!" Tian cursed angrily, "Do you really want that bastard to go back with you to confront him?"

"Let's confront each other. What's there to be afraid of?" Qiao Jiaojiao snorted unconvinced. She was right.

"How could you be so stupid?" Tian slapped her in anger, "Your mother-in-law is living in Anyang Marquis's Mansion. How dare she offend the mistress of the mansion?"

"Believe it or not, even if you confront her, in the end, your mother-in-law will not admit that she gave you these things!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was shocked and murmured in disbelief: "No way..."

"Why not?" When Tian mentioned this, she was furious. "I really don't know what you are thinking. You must marry that Lu Liangyi. What's so good about him?"

"Mom, don't worry. Your son-in-law will definitely have a bright future. By then, you will definitely be glorious." Qiao Jiaojiao has absolute confidence in Lu Liangyi.

The height that Lu Liangyi reached in his previous life was something she could not even imagine.

If she hadn't been reborn and seized the initiative first, she wouldn't have been able to get this advantage.

Tian knew that the matter was done and nothing could be changed, so she just gave Qiao Jiaojiao a few instructions and then took her back.

Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Qiao Jinlan, who was like the moon surrounded by stars in the room. She knew in her heart that she should endure it, but she just felt unhappy.
