Su Tong looked at her daughter indifferently, without a trace of warmth in her eyes. She slowly took out an engagement certificate from her pocket and threw it in front of her daughter without hesitation.

The piece of paper seemed to carry an infinite weight, falling gently to the ground with a crisp sound.

An Changle widened his eyes and looked at the words on the engagement book in disbelief. It was clearly a great joyous event, but an inexplicable fear and uneasiness surged in his heart.

"The third place winner is engaged to the sixth branch of the An family. You can also choose to stay in the Marquis' Mansion and continue to be your eldest daughter, but this marriage..."

Before Su Tonghua finished speaking, An Changle hesitated for a moment, then picked up the engagement book without hesitation and held it to her heart.

"Of course I will marry the one I love." An Changle didn't believe that his parents would be so heartless. The so-called adoption of him was probably just a way to scare him.

It doesn’t matter. After I get married, my parents will reconcile with me.

However, Su Tong felt very disappointed. The original owner had spent a lot of effort to raise such a daughter, but in the end she was willing to abandon her parents for a man. It was really not worth it.

Su Tong didn't say much and asked the five maids in the room to pack up the things for the sixth lady. The valuable gold and silver jewelry must not be taken away. The rest were some clothes and some common items. Although they were worth some money, there was no use in keeping them. So he just let them take them away. At least it would be a one-time solution.

An Changle did not realize the importance of his gold, silver and jewelry. On the contrary, he was still immersed in the good news of his engagement to his beloved. He happily went to the sixth room with his things. As soon as he entered the yard, An Changle's face fell.

"Are all the family members crowded into one courtyard? When I was in the Marquis' Mansion, I lived alone in a courtyard, and there were so many people serving me. I am a guest after all, and I can't stay for a few days anyway. Otherwise, you can let me live in this room alone."

An Changle didn't want to live together with the younger generations, so he asked them to live somewhere else, but the little girls shook their heads, indicating that there was no extra room in this house.

"Aunt Changle, there are only a few rooms in the house. Apart from the study, the rest are where Daddy and Mommy live. Do you want to live with them?

But there is a single room at grandma's place. Although it is a little small, grandma lives there alone. Why don't you go live with her?"

An Changle immediately shook his head. He had seen the grandmother of the sixth room, a skinny old lady who was extremely unrefined and sloppy. He didn't want to live with such a disgusting person.

An Changle was used to living alone, and had always had someone serving her. Suddenly, he was living with his daughter, without even a maid to serve him. He couldn't adapt at once, and even ordered a few juniors to help him get dressed.

The children didn't think much about it, as it was just a piece of cake after all, but their parents were reluctant.

They are all children of the sixth room. Although An Changle was the eldest daughter of the Marquis's house, she was adopted into their family. Why do they enjoy special treatment? Do you really think you are the daughter of the Marquis's house?

Those women couldn't just turn hostile directly, after all, the man was still receiving 100 taels of silver a year from the Marquis's Mansion. They had to give face to the Buddha, but they didn't want to swallow their anger either, so they rolled their eyes and told their children something in their ears.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring me the water for washing." An Changle said righteously while sitting on the bed.

The little girl pouted and said, "Aunt Changle, I can help you with the work, but how are you going to repay me? I think the hairpin on your head is very beautiful, why don't you give it to me."

An Changle touched the hairpin on her head. It was a silver hairpin with a peanut-sized pearl inlaid on the top. It was inserted in her black bun, looking luxurious and beautiful.

There were many beautiful jewelry in An Changle's jewelry box, and this hairpin was not worth mentioning at all, so she took it off without hesitation and threw it in front of the little girl.

"What are you still standing there for? Go get me some water. By the way, when you talk at night, speak softly and don't disturb me while I sleep." An Changle said.

The little girl got what she liked and went out happily. Then she gave the hairpin to her mother and got several candies and even some cakes in return.

The woman looked at the silver hairpin and wiped it gently. Such a beautiful hairpin should be worth dozens of taels of silver.

She is worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. She gives away such precious things right away. It seems that I have to think of a way to trick her into taking away all the valuable things from her.

At first, An Changle didn't notice these things until her clothes were taken away by others and even there were only a few pieces of jewelry left on her body. Then An Changle realized that something was wrong.

"If you want me to help you wash your clothes, you have to give me your bracelet." The little girl fell in love with the green bracelet on An Changle's wrist again. Her mother had told her that if she could coax the bracelet into her hand, her mother would buy her a lot of cakes and even big buns.

An Changle's expression changed immediately. "I gave you so many things before, and now you still want to ask me for a bracelet. You are too greedy."

Only then did An Changle realize that the Sixth House was not as clean as the legend said. At least no one would ask for money from relatives who came to visit.

Seeing that she couldn't get her beloved bracelet, the little girl's face changed immediately. "Why do you talk to me like that? You live in my house and eat and drink my food. You are just a beggar, so what if I ask you for something? Hand over the bracelet quickly, or don't blame me for being rude."

An Changle was so angry that she laughed, "Do you know who I am? I am the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion. It is your blessing to be able to live in your house."

"No, my mother said that you were kicked out of the Marquis' Mansion. It was the adults in our family who forgave us and took you in." The little girl pouted and retorted, "You are a child that no one wants. Unlike me, at least my father and mother want me."

An Changle slammed the table and said, "It's not like that. I just didn't go back because I was getting married.

My mother will take me back sooner or later, and when I return, I will drive you away from me."

Although An Changle said this, he felt empty in his heart. He had been away from home for a while, but his mother had never said anything about taking him back. Could it be that they really didn't want him?

An Changle shook her head vigorously and put the idea behind her. Her parents loved her so much that they would never abandon her. They were probably still angry. When the time came for her to get married, they would naturally come to see her off.

When it was time for dinner, An Changle looked at the food on the table and was about to explode with anger. A few days ago, there were at least meat and vegetables, but today it was just pickles and a few bowls of rice porridge. It was so terrible that even the maids around him had never eaten such bad food.
