I was a housekeeper in ancient times

"Mother Lin, go check if Sister Wan is dressed properly."

Lin Weiqiao agreed and turned to leave.

Meng Xia's behavior is indeed annoying.

On such a happy day, he had to make things difficult for others, fearing that his younger sister would not live well in his uncle's house.

When I arrived at the Tingfeng Pavilion where Wan Jie'er lived, I heard Jia'er complaining, "Miss, you have changed three sets of clothes. How can we have any worse ones? If you wear better ones, she will be jealous. If you wear worse ones, she will say that the lady treats you badly."

Wan Jieer said, "I really don't want to see her. She's definitely up to no good when she comes. If I don't see her, she'll say I'm an ungrateful person who forgot about my mother now that I have her. She told me to remember that I still have her as my biological mother, but how can she still have me as her biological daughter in her heart? I wanted to claim illness and not go, but there are so many elders, I can't see anyone else just for her."

"Other mothers all hope that their daughters will live a good life. But she...wants to let her take all the good things her daughter has."

"Who made me have such a mother? Fortunately, I am not her mother. I only have one mother."

Lin Weiqiao, who was listening outside the door, didn't know what to feel. She knew that her elder sister was precocious and more sensible than her peers. Now it seemed that she was sensible only because she was disappointed.

Meng Xia didn't love Wan Jie'er, and even didn't want her. If it was any other child, they would have cried and made a scene. But it was said that when Wan Jie'er came to the Bo's house that day, she didn't make a scene, and let Meng Xia push her to Yu Muyan.

"Miss, are you ready? Madam asked me to take a look." She went in and saw that her younger sister was dressed in ordinary clothes, without even a necklace, bracelet, or jade pendant.

"Hey, girl, why are you dressed so plainly?" She counselled, "This is your own home, and you are meeting relatives, you don't have to care what outsiders say. Dress nicely for yourself, not for others to see."

Jia Er collected the clothes and complained, "The girl is just afraid that if she dresses too well, people will be jealous and ask her for things behind her back. If she doesn't give them, she will cry."

Wan Jieer sat on the bed helplessly, "Mom, I'm not afraid of embarrassing myself, I'm afraid of embarrassing Mom. When she comes, Mom and I will be unhappy."

She picked out new clothes for Wan Jie'er and told her not to dress up specially, just dress as she usually did, and then took Wan Jie'er to meet people.

As soon as she entered the house, Wan Jieer called out sweetly, "Mom!"

Meng Xia was sitting near the door. She thought it was Wan Jie'er calling her, so she happily held her son in one hand and greeted Wan Jie'er with the other.

Unexpectedly, Wan Jie'er walked right past her and ran straight to Yu Muyan to greet Old Madam Yu and the Yu sisters.

Everyone was having a good time here, but Meng Xia on the side awkwardly took her hand back. Fortunately, no one paid attention, otherwise she would have been embarrassed. She felt a little jealous when she saw Yu Muyan and Wan Jie'er being so intimate like real mother and daughter. "Wan Jie'er, why are you late?"

Wan Jie'er didn't even look at Meng Xia. She stood obediently beside Yu Muyan and didn't say anything.

Lin Weiqiao continued, "The third girl was a little late in changing her clothes."

Meng Xia started to discipline her again, "You are already grown up, but you are still so slow. You don't act like a sister. You might lead Sister Fan and Sister Yue astray..."

No one in the room paid any attention to her. What she said was too unpleasant to hear and she didn't know how to read people's faces. Yu Muyan's face was gloomy, but she still kept talking.

Besides her unpleasant words, there was also Old Lady Yu, who asked about Concubine Lian's pregnancy, and said, "Your pregnancy was not going well, so I hoped that Concubine Lian would do well this time and leave a descendant for your first wife. You are the same, I have long advised you to give your son-in-law more concubines, but you refused. Look at it now, your whole wife is full of daughters, who are useless. If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If you had a son, how could you be in this situation today?"

At this moment, Yu Muyan and Wan Jie'er were both equally pitiful, neither loved by their fathers nor their mothers.

There were too many children in the house, so Old Lady Yu asked Yu Muliu to take Wan Jie'er and other children out to play.

Yu Muliu was still not happy, and complained to Lin Weiqiao: "I am so old, but my mother always makes me stay with children."

Lin Weiqiao followed and patted Yu Muliu on the shoulder and said, "At least being with children is more fun. It's not fun for the girl to stay in the house, so it's better to go out for a walk. Knowing that the girl was coming, I asked the kitchen to prepare mung bean cakes, lotus root powder cakes, auspicious fruits, and a few sweet soups, all of which are the girl's favorites."

Arriving in the garden, Yu Muliu looked at the table filled with cakes and candied fruits, and said happily: "If mother hadn't forbidden me to come often, I would come to my second sister's place every day. It's much better to have my second sister and mother thinking about me than to be at home."

The Yu family was not as well off as the Pingrong Marquis's, and they had many children. Old Lady Yu could only take care of one, but not the other. Old Lady Yu cared most about her eldest daughter and youngest son. She would take care of them first, then Yu Muqin, and finally Yu Muliu.

As the youngest, Yu Muliu is always the last one to take part in anything.

"If you like it, eat more. This bowl of bird's nest was specially ordered by Madam for you to try. And this bowl of green plum soup is what Wanjie likes the most. She said she wanted to save it for you."

After all, they are still teenagers. When they see food, they forget everything else.

Lin Weiqiao looked at Yu Muliu eating contentedly and said with a smile: "You guys didn't come here just to see Sister Fan, right?"

Yu Muliu said: "Mom is smart and guessed it right away. My mother came to see my second sister, so it's naturally not a good thing."

"That is……"

"It's all because of my eldest sister. Didn't my second sister get a title and become a countess? So mother wanted my second sister to take my eldest sister with her wherever she goes."

"why?"

"Why else? It's for my eldest sister's marriage. My mother wants to use my second sister's status and reputation to find a husband for my eldest sister."

Lin Weiqiao's mother tongue is speechless. As the old saying goes, a weasel pays a New Year's visit to a chicken with no good intentions. Old Lady Yu is just like Meng Xia. She can't bear to see her daughter having a good life, so she has to interfere.

We were chatting happily when we heard a child crying from the other end of the garden.

She hurriedly got up to take a look. They were all a bunch of little ancestors, none of them could withstand any damage.

I ran over and saw Wanjieer and Huajieer fighting. Wanjieer didn't know where she got the strength from, but she pushed Huajieer, who was stronger than her, to the ground. She said with red eyes, "Come on, call me a bastard that no one wants, and try it?"

At this time, Lin Weiqiao stopped silently and waited for Wan Jie'er to finish before slowly walking over, "Third Miss, Second Miss, what happened? Third Miss, who scratched your face?"
