After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

The Marquis's wife received her embarrassed look and said with a smile, "It's nothing. Your aunt gave it to you. Just wear it."

Luo Shuiyao finally felt relieved and bowed to Zheng: "Thank you, aunt."

Zheng looked at her well-behaved appearance, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. "No need to thank me. I just had these two dim sums from your house and I found them very delicious. I thought that the elderly in the family like to eat dim sum, but as they get older, they can't eat too much sweets. I thought about having your chef come to my house in a few days and teach my cook to make some. What do you think?"

Luo Shuiyao nodded and said, "Of course. The kitchen maids are servants of the Marquis' Mansion, so everything is up to my aunt. I'm just giving them some advice, I'm not an expert in this."

Seeing this, Zheng was even more pleased with her. This girl was neither arrogant nor impatient, and she didn't take credit for herself. She was beautiful and had a good personality. She was a rare good girl.

Then, she turned her gaze to Lu Zhaozhao who was standing beside her and said, "This is Zhaozhao, right? This child is also very good-looking."

She turned her gaze to the Marquis's wife and said, "Sister, you are so lucky to have two such wonderful daughters for nothing."

The Marquis's wife pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this. "Who said it wasn't true? I never thought I'd get two such wonderful girls."

Upon hearing this, the Marquis's wife pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Who says it's not?"

Zheng withdrew her envious gaze and immediately took off the matching bracelet on her hand. "Since Yaoyao has received a meeting gift, Zhaozhao naturally has one too. This item was given to me by my aunt. It's my fault that I didn't expect this today and didn't prepare anything good. I just hope Zhaozhao won't despise it."

"Of course not."

Lu Zhaozhao smiled gently and said, "Thank you for the bracelet, aunt. I like it very much."

She took the bracelet from Zheng and held it in her hand, but instead of putting it on her hand, she tucked her hand into her sleeve. Hidden in her sleeve, she squeezed the bracelet so hard that the silver-threaded bracelet was almost deformed. Although the bracelet was exquisitely crafted, it was still slightly inferior to the double lotus bracelet.

Lu Zhaozhao secretly resented Zheng's actions. Who was she trying to belittle? She, Lu Zhaozhao, came from an aristocratic family. Why should that country girl get better than her?

But she still had a beautiful smile on her face, as if she was truly grateful. Only Luo Shuiyao could clearly see the anger that flashed across her face just now.

This scene also exists in the original work.

Lu Zhaozhao was favored by the Marquis's wife, who praised her highly in front of many other ladies.

In the original novel, she attracted a lot of attention as soon as she appeared, and was showered with praise. The double lotus bracelet was also directly put on her hand.

Meanwhile, the original owner was flamboyantly dressed, with her hair adorned with gold and silver jewelry, heavy makeup, and extremely vulgar behavior. This annoyed Zheng, so she simply plucked a hairpin from her head and gave it to her. Compared to the Twin Lotus Bracelet, the hairpin was vastly different in value.

The original owner was filled with resentment towards Lu Zhaozhao, which led to a lot of jokes at the welcoming banquet.

But now, it is still unknown who will make a fool of themselves.

"Okay, okay, stop praising these two girls, otherwise they will become so proud of themselves that they will be lifted up to the sky." The Marquis's wife smiled at Zheng.

Zheng glanced at the Marquis' wife in a reproachful manner, "How could that be? These two children are both good children."

Then he pulled Luo Shuiyao and the other two to sit down before giving up.

The ladies exchanged glances and chatted with each other, asking about the method of making the snack and the ingenuity behind it. The atmosphere was very lively for a while.

Lu Zhaozhao sat aside, watching this scene, with a gentle smile on her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes.

The Right Prime Minister's wife, Liu, inadvertently caught a glimpse of the fierceness in her eyes and could not help but frowned slightly. This girl from the Lu family must have a flawed character.

Lu Zhaozhao noticed someone was looking at her. She turned around and saw that it was the wife of the Right Prime Minister. She was slightly startled, then immediately put away the expression in her eyes, smiled and nodded at her.

Liu nodded slightly, then looked away. Whether the girl's thoughts were serious or not was none of her business. This was a family affair of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, so she didn't want to say anything more and just pretended she hadn't seen it.

Lu Zhaozhao breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not advisable to stay here for long. Now these people changed their minds and all gathered around the village girl, forgetting about her. There was no point in her staying here any longer. Instead, she would just be her foil.

Thinking of this, she even blamed the Marquis's wife. It was obvious that her mother and the Marquis's wife were as close as sisters, but she treated her so coldly. She really let her mother down.

Thinking of this, she feigned pain and clutched her chest. The Marquis's wife had been paying close attention to her, noticing her lack of conversation. Seeing her move like this, she asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Zhaozhao? Are you feeling unwell?"

Lu Zhaozhao took a few deep breaths. "Aunt, I just suddenly feel a little chest tightness. Can I go out and take a breath?"

The Marquis's wife nodded quickly. "How is it? Is it serious? How about I call a doctor to take a look at you?"

Lu Zhaozhao quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I'll just go out and get some fresh air and rest for a while."

The Marquis's wife carefully examined her for a long moment, and seeing that her complexion was rosy and that she looked fine, she finally felt relieved. "Okay, you can leave first."

She glanced at Luo Shuiyao again, who was being surrounded by several ladies, asking for advice on food. The Marquis's wife continued, "Tell Yaoyao to wait a while before coming out. If you feel unwell, remember to call me. Do you understand?"

Lu Zhaozhao's eyes swept over Luo Shuiyao, a cold look suddenly appeared, then she turned around and said obediently: "Okay, aunt, don't worry."

After saying that, he bowed and left.

…………

On the other side of Fangfei Garden is where the men gather.

At this moment, a variety of snacks were also placed here. Everyone in the Hidden Dragon Division was dressed in exquisite and neat brocade robes and tall hats, and everyone looked like a handsome young man.

Yi Xiaowei pulled his companion along, each holding an egg yolk pastry. They stood by the lake, looking out into the distance. Yi Xiaowei narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining the people across the lake.

However, because the distance was not close, he looked for a long time and only saw the noble ladies over there wearing colorful clothes. He could not tell who made the delicious snacks.

After looking for a long time, he really couldn't make out anything, so he couldn't help but complain to his companion, "Old Chu, can you see it? Why can't I see it clearly? Just now, our supervisor's brother said that the cousin of the Luo family is the most beautiful one, but now the distance is too far, and I can't see her face clearly at all."

The young man he called Lao Chu was also a member of the Hidden Dragon Guard.

Old Chu shook his head. "No, I can't see it either. It's far away, there's the lake blocking the view, and there are trees all around. I can't see clearly at all."
