After the banquet, Mrs. Qi Pei happily took her daughter-in-law and daughter to say goodbye to all the relatives in the Prime Minister's Mansion and took a carriage back to the Qi Mansion.

When getting on the carriage, Zheng glanced at her sister-in-law and said to Pei with a smile, "Mother, there will probably be quite a few matchmakers coming to our Qi Mansion tomorrow."

"Prepare more red envelopes as rewards." Pei made arrangements with a smile and was helped onto the carriage by the old woman.

"Yes, mother." Zheng bowed, winked and smiled at her sister-in-law, then got on the carriage.

Qi Wan got on another carriage with a faint smile on his face.

The Prime Minister was very satisfied with the matchmaking banquet held by the Prime Minister's Mansion. After the guests left, he praised his daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law:

"You have done a good job this time. Our Ah Wan will definitely be able to get married this year."

Mrs. Xie, the eldest daughter-in-law of Prime Minister Pei and the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, said with a smile: "Our Ah Wan has changed a lot since she grew up. She is getting prettier every year. She will never have trouble finding a husband."

"Before the New Year, we will probably have to go to the Qi residence for a wedding banquet. We need to prepare a box of gifts for A-Wan, haha..."

In the main courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was laughter from the crowd.

Prime Minister Pei and his wife only had four sons and no daughters.

After the four sons got married, they all gave birth to sons.

Of the three generations of Prime Minister Pei, only his sister, Mrs. Pei, left behind a granddaughter, Qi Wan, who became the treasure of the Pei family.

Prime Minister Pei came from a noble family and had been the prime minister for many years. In fact, he knew very well that it would be difficult to propose marriage to Awan, as she was neither high nor low.

The prince wanted to marry Awan as his princess, but Awan's family background was too powerful, stronger than that of the crown princess. Not only was the crown prince wary of her, but the emperor was also unwilling.

The Prime Minister's Mansion will not agree to marrying down, and the Qi Mansion will not agree to it even more.

There are many families with similar conditions.

However, in the eyes of the aristocratic families, Qi Wan has the bloodline of a military general, and they are worried that she will act rashly.

In the eyes of the generals, Qi Wan has the blood of a noble family and they are worried that she is too rigid.

Add to that the rumors, "Miss Qi is a little silly and is often cheated out of her jewelry."

"Miss Qi is still stupid. She listens to the servants in everything."

"Miss Qi can't read or write, and she doesn't even know how to keep an account book."

……

Many people think that Qi Wan cannot be a good mistress.

If you can’t make decisions on everything and can’t distinguish between good and bad, how can you manage your household?

Even though several families had been satisfied with the meeting before, they finally rejected the proposal on the grounds of incompatibility of horoscopes after being well-intentionedly persuaded by relatives.

Now, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion felt that "Awan has grown up."

They couldn't tell what had changed about Qi Wan.

I just felt that Awan spoke calmly, acted steadily, and seemed to be surrounded by a thick aura that made people dare not underestimate her.

Prime Minister Pei thought to himself, "I wonder which lucky person is able to marry A Wan."

Qi Wan returned to the upper courtyard of the Qi Mansion with his mother and elder sister-in-law.

She sat in the living room, watching her mother and elder sister-in-law handle household chores, and did not return to Yilan Courtyard for the time being.

Pei and Nanny Lin chatted and laughed, "You handled these few things in the mansion today, and you did a good job. You are capable."

Nanny Lin said respectfully, "It's because Madam taught me well. I'm afraid I won't do well and cause trouble for Madam."

Pei smiled and affirmed, "There are not many people in our mansion now, and there is not much to do. You can do it well."

The little maid guarding the gate came in and saluted and reported, "Madam, the Yuan family..." Before she could finish her words, a figure came in and pushed her. The little maid almost fell down and took a few steps forward before she could stand firm.

Everyone in the room took a closer look and was stunned.

Yuan Pandi pushed the little maid aside and rushed into the hall without waiting to be greeted. Her eyes were wide open and flashing with ferocity, her face was full of anger, her nostrils flared, and her teeth were gritting. She looked exactly like her mother Qi Yuehua.

She did not bow, but raised her chin high, rolled her eyes, stood in the hall angrily, and loudly accused, "Is this how you treat guests at the Qi Mansion? You drugged me and made me sleep until now, just because you didn't want me to follow you to the Prime Minister's Mansion. This is really too despicable."

Pei laughed out of anger. As an elder, she didn't want to argue with the younger generation, so she just sat there and said nothing.

Qi Wan slammed the table and stood up, shouting, "How dare you! Since you say you are a guest, do you follow the rules of being a guest? You come here without notifying us and start a quarrel with our elders."

Yuan Pandi put her hands on her hips and started to act like a spoiled child, "Am I a guest? I am the host! My mother is the legitimate daughter of the Qi family, and I am the legitimate granddaughter of the Qi family."

Qi Wan laughed, "Oh, you even know how to use the word 'wai'," she asked, "What's your last name?"

Yuan Pandi was in the wrong and could not argue with Qi Wan, so she yelled, "You are an old maid who can't get married, what qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson?"

"Whether I can get married or not is not something you, Yuan, need to worry about. It is obvious that you will not have a good ending even if you get married," Qi Wan replied.

Yuan Pandi couldn't win the argument with Qi Wan. She was so anxious that she lost her mind and started crying and cursing, "The eldest branch of the Qi family is bullying me by taking advantage of their power." She sat on the ground and threw a tantrum.

Qi Wan stepped forward and wanted to grab Yuan Pandi and throw him out of the yard.

Yuan Zhaodi walked in. She knelt down in shame and apologized, "I'm sorry, aunt."

She turned around and scolded her sister: "Don't embarrass yourself here, this is not the Yuan family."

Yuan Pandi screamed with all his might, "I don't want you to care. They drugged me and bullied me first."

Yuan Zhaodi told the truth, "It wasn't your aunt or the others who gave you the medicine. It was me who pierced your sleeping point with a needle."

She gave the reason, "You want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me, and I don't want you to go."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that this was the truth.

Yuan Pandi raised his eyes and saw that his sister was not joking.

She pounced on her sister like a madman, raised her hands, slapped her face and pulled her hair, "You whore, you..." The curses were unbearable to hear.

Aunt Wu hurried forward and covered Qi Wan's ears, not daring to let the young lady hear such filthy and vulgar curses.

The maids and servants from the Yuan family hurried forward to stop the fight, "Stop it, Second Miss, or the master will find out and use the family rules."

"Let go, Miss."

Everyone in the Qi residence was dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yuehua taught her little daughter to be so violent and mean.

Pei was completely furious. She slammed the table and stood up, "Hold her back. How dare you hit your own sister?"

A group of old women came forward, forcibly pulled Yuan Pandidi away, and covered her mouth. Yuan Pandidi was holding a handful of black hair in her hand.

Looking at Yuan Zhaodi again, she was sitting on the ground with her hands protecting her face. Her hands were covered in blood and her hair was pulled into a mess like a chicken coop.

Yuan Pandi was still struggling desperately, trying to run towards his sister.

Pei ordered, "Send her back to the courtyard and lock her up. Don't give her any food tonight. You must keep a close eye on her."

"Mrs. Yuan, go back and tell your old lady and Mr. Yuan what happened today."

"Yes, madam."

Several old women forcibly carried away Yuan Panddy, who was kicking and struggling.

Qi Wan looked at Yuan Zhaodi with sympathy as she sat on the ground and tried hard not to cry.

She said to the servants, "Help Miss Cousin up quickly."

The maids went up to help Yuan Zhaodi up. A little maid brought hot water and a towel to wash Yuan Zhaodi's face and re-comb her hair.

Nanny Lin came into the room and brought the ointment to apply on Yuan Zhaodi's hands.

Seeing that her cousin's hands were scratched with seven or eight cuts, she whispered, "Don't get wet, it will leave scars."

"I've got that in mind. Thank you, Ma'am Lin." Yuan Zhaodi said softly, enduring the pain.

Everyone just shook their heads and didn't want to talk about it in front of Yuan Zhaodi.

The sisters are born to the same mother, but have completely different personalities.

Qi Wan stood up and invited, "Cousin, come sit in my yard."

"Okay, cousin Qi." Yuan Zhaodi stood up obediently.
