Although Su Tong complained and his handwriting was crooked, he learned to read like a decent person after half a month, and even copied a copy of "The Book of Filial Piety" for Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su was still considering whether to let her daughter attend the flower-viewing banquet. But when she saw the Book of Filial Piety, a hint of relief appeared on her face.

"Forget it, let's just take a look at what my daughter has become." Mrs. Su sighed softly in her heart, hoping that her daughter's change this time would be bigger. However, when she really saw the real person, she was really shocked.

Although Su Tong did not dare to make any drastic changes, he no longer wore old-fashioned makeup. He even changed his ugly drooping eyebrows into curved willow-leaf eyebrows. After this change, not only did his eyebrow shape become simple and generous, but his whole person exuded a natural and translucent look.

She put a light layer of powder on her face, applied a touch of rouge, lightly drew her eyebrows, and even combed her hair into the Yuanbao bun that ordinary girls often wear. She changed into a green dress, looking very much like willow buds by the river. With the wind blowing gently, she was faintly visible, which was eye-catching.

Mrs. Su smiled. Her daughter finally looked a bit like she did when she was young, and even learned the rules well.

"Mother." Su Tong deliberately called out in a voice as soft as jade. Seeing the other person's dark eyes, he felt relieved. It seemed that he had acted quite well.

Mrs. Su's expression changed again and again. Finally, thinking about the future of the Su family, she decided to give her daughter another chance.

"The flower-viewing banquet at the Marquis' Mansion will be held the day after tomorrow. I have asked someone to make a few clothes for you, and also asked the silver shop to prepare a few pairs of jewelry. You can try them on later. No matter what happens when you get there, ask the nanny beside you. Don't act on your own. Don't speak if you can." Madam Su was afraid that her daughter would offend a large group of people as soon as she opened her mouth.

Su Tong nodded obediently, pouting, "My daughter is a natural beauty, unlike my second sister, who needs to be dressed up in clothes."

Madam Su sighed heavily and waved her hand impatiently, "Okay, I've prepared everything for both of you. The rest is up to you."

Mrs. Su was still worried that Ruyu would mess things up, so she gave the two maids many warnings and instructions, completely ignoring the fact that her daughter's appearance had changed. She just thought that her daughter had grown up, and because she used to wear heavy makeup, her facial features could not be seen clearly.

"The outfit you just wore is very good. Keep it like this in the future. Young girls should dress freshly, otherwise it will look old-fashioned. It may look dignified to outsiders, but it will lose the freshness and elegance." In order to prevent her daughter from wearing those messy clothes, Mrs. Su specifically instructed the three maids around her daughter. There were originally four maids, but one of them was seriously ill and said to have returned to her hometown.

Mrs. Su was originally worried about her daughter's participation in the flower-viewing banquet, so she didn't pay attention to the maid's affairs. Now that everything has been settled, thinking that her daughter only has three senior maids, she wants to promote one from the lower level.

Su Tong discussed it with the three sisters, and then found an honest and obedient girl from the lower classes, saying that she was his maid, but in fact he just sent her out and usually did not let her get close to him.

"Mother, speaking of maids, I have something else I want to discuss with you. Several of my maids are getting old, so I want to find them a proper marriage and train them to be capable."

Mrs. Su almost burst into tears when she heard this. Her daughter had finally grown up and knew how to plan for her future. Sending away the old people around her and replacing them with a group of new people would make it easier for her to get married.

Madam Su asked with concern: "So what are your plans?"

"My daughter does have a few people in her mind who can be used, but I still need to take a closer look." Su Tong pursed her lips when she said this, revealing a shy little girl's posture, "After sending my daughter here and being taught by the nanny, I think I was too narrow-minded before, always only seeing my own gains and losses, and never considering the interests of the family.

Mother, if it weren't for your careful teaching, I would probably still be a child who knows nothing. I know I was wrong, and I will definitely repent in the future. I will never be as selfish as before."

Mrs. Su's tears suddenly fell, and she was regretting at the same time. If she had noticed that something was wrong with her daughter in the previous life and stopped her, perhaps her daughter would not have developed such a character, and would not have watched her own brother die. To be honest, she was also wrong about everything that happened in the previous life. Fortunately, she had the opportunity to repent this time.

Su Tong lowered his eyes so that people could not see the thoughts in his eyes. He first replaced the old people around him. After a long time, most of the new people were familiar with his new face, and then he slowly changed himself.

Here, after the second young lady received the clothes for the flower-viewing banquet, she was completely stunned. The Madam and the eldest sister have been acting more and more abnormal during this period. The two of them haven't made trouble at home for a long time. This is obviously not right.

"I heard that the eldest lady is learning the rules from the nanny. But judging from the way she is acting, I'm afraid she won't be able to learn anything." The maid covered her mouth and laughed when she said this.

The second young lady snorted coldly, "Isn't it that I am a good sister who relies on the good birth I have? What's the big deal? Ha, if I hadn't seen that the first lady has been very well behaved recently, I would have replaced her long ago."

The maid nodded, "But the medical department has also been informed. After this flower viewing banquet is over, we will continue to implement this plan. We will ensure that the young lady's reputation will not be tarnished, and we can kill two birds with one stone."

The so-called killing two birds with one stone is to dethrone Su Tong's identity as the eldest daughter. Her own Qingliang reputation will be gone, and the reputation of her biological daughter will also be gone. I really want to see the desperate expressions of the mother and daughter at that time.

On this side, after Ruyu was transported to a faraway place, the three maids were still kind-hearted and did not throw it directly into the beggars' den. Instead, they left it a chance to survive and threw it into the charity cemetery.

That was a place dedicated to storing the dead and helping the poor, but because the imperial court allocated very little silver, the place was particularly desolate, and dead bodies and the like were often placed there, so it looked particularly gloomy, which was just right for someone like Ruyu who was neither human nor ghost.

Ruyu woke up slowly and felt a burning pain on his face. He was about to ask someone to bring him a glass of water, but after shouting "ah" for a long time, only a slight sound came out. When he touched his face, he was so scared by the marks on it that he fainted.

When she woke up again, there was an urgent noise in the room. Ruyu wanted to faint, but she had been unconscious for several days. She couldn't faint this time. She could only hide in the corner with a terrified look on her face.
