Upon seeing the eldest princess coming, the shopkeeper immediately stepped forward to greet them and asked someone to lead the two of them to the private room on the second floor.

The ladies brought various precious and famous horses into the private room.

Xiao Ningyao looked at the gorgeous cloth in front of her, her eyes showing approval, "Is this Liuguang Brocade?"

The girl nodded in agreement.

"Your Highness, that's right. The luster of this Flowing Light Brocade is as soft as moonlight indoors, but under the sun, the brilliance fluctuates like flowing light, hence the name."

Xiao Ningyao touched it and found it to be soft and thin, indeed top quality.

She immediately called a girl to make clothes for her and Su Yuejian.

Su Yuejian's lips moved, and Xiao Ningyao said directly, "Yue'er, you are not allowed to refuse. Just consider it as a thank you gift for what Brother Yanzhou did."

Su Yue smiled helplessly and had to agree.

The two were being measured in the inner room when they suddenly heard laughter coming from next door.

"She's not a talented woman at all, she's just blind."

"That's right. How could she read and write poetry if she couldn't see? She must have heard that from someone else."

"But Sister Yue is very capable. She is in charge of the mansion now. Uncle even asked Doctor Qi to treat her face."

"So what? Even if she is cured, she is just an adopted daughter. With her background, how can she marry the prince?"

"She's just a bastard of unknown origin. How can she be considered a lady of the Su family? If you ask me, our Xue Wei is the real lady of the Taifu Mansion. Who the hell is she?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuejian curled her lips and sneered, what a coincidence.

She lost her sight early in life, and her facial features are more sensitive than those of ordinary people. She is very familiar with the voices of these people.

Su Yuejian took the measurements first, and just then the girl came in with tea. The door was open, and Su Xuewei and others were passing by when they were leaving.

Seeing Su Yuejian and Yuzhu in the private room, Su Xuewei was stunned.

Su Xiaoshi, Su Caner and Shang Huilian behind him also looked guilty, wondering if Su Yuejian heard them talking.

Su Xuewei's face was stiff for a moment, then she put on a gentle smile and walked in to greet him, "Sister, what a coincidence, why are you here?"

Several people behind him also walked in.

Su Yuejian sat coldly in his seat drinking tea and ignored her.

Seeing Su Yuejian didn't say anything, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Seeing that she and Yuzhu were the only ones in the room, Shang Huilian breathed a sigh of relief and became bolder, not caring at all whether she had heard their conversation.

She noticed the flowing brocade hanging nearby, and with a look of sarcasm and disdain, she said, "Su Yuejian, who are you to be worthy of wearing this flowing brocade?"

Su Xiaoshi also looked over when she heard the sound, and saw that the brocade was gorgeous and colorful. She had never seen such precious fabric before, let alone made into clothes.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Su Yuejian was full of undisguised jealousy. Why could an adopted daughter live better than her, the young lady of the Su family?

Su Xuewei glanced at the two of them, curled the corners of her lips slightly, and pretended to be angry to defend Su Yuejian.

"Lian'er, how can you say that to my sister? My sister is in charge of the household now, so it's only natural for her to spend as much money as she wants on her own appearance."

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoshi's eyes rolled and she immediately questioned, "This Liuguangjin is very expensive. Even if you are the head of the family, Sister Yue can't afford it with her monthly allowance."

Shang Huilian looked at her with disdain upon hearing this, and deliberately raised her voice, "Su Yuejian, the Grand Tutor trusted you and made you the head of the household, but I never thought you would dare to embezzle the money from the household for your own use! How could such a dignified Grand Tutor's household raise a woman as vain and sinister as you!"

Su Yuejian glanced at Su Xuewei and saw that the corners of her mouth were raised, and she looked proud and ready to watch a good show.

I sneered in my heart, thinking that he was so stupid and short-sighted.

Doesn't she know that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer?

Upon hearing the noise, the guests in the surrounding private rooms came out and looked over here, whispering to each other.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoshi immediately added fuel to the fire and said, "Sister Yue, the old lady trusted you so much, and you actually did such a despicable thing!"

A few people convicted Su Yuejian in just a few words.

Su Xuewei stood in front of Su Yuejian and pretended to be innocent and defended her, "I believe my sister. She just took the wrong path because she was confused for a moment."

Su Yuejian couldn't help but roll her eyes. It was the same old thing again. It was like this every day. Su Xuewei didn't feel tired, but she was annoyed just watching it.

She said coldly, "Which eye of yours saw me embezzle it?"

"Miss Shang just now insulted and belittled me in the private room next door, and now she is slandering me with empty words. My Taifu Mansion cannot compare to the upbringing of the Shangshu Mansion. I wonder if the Shangshu knows about your ability to slander and humiliate people behind their backs?"

Shang Huilian was speechless after being confronted by her, her face turning pale and red.

The Minister of Rites had many wives and concubines and many children. She was originally a concubine's daughter and was not favored by her aunt. Therefore, she could not bear to see Su Yuejian, an adopted daughter, being treated like a jewel in the palm of his hand.

She was so angry that she said, "You are an adopted daughter of unknown origin and low status. You are completely different from us."

Shang Huilian didn't believe that she could really tell her father. She had already heard from Su Xuewei about her cowardly and weak character.

Seeing that Su Yuejian didn't say a word, he thought she was scared.

Then he slowly walked up to her, snorted coldly, and said sarcastically, "Even if I really said that about you, what can you do?"

A majestic and sharp female voice came from the inner room.

"She can't do anything to you."

Xiao Ningyao slowly walked out from the inner room, with a cold expression on her face, and spoke word by word.

"What about this palace?"
