At this time, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion began to become lively, and guests began to arrive one after another.

As the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo, Jiang Shuya's coming-of-age ceremony was naturally grand. Outside the mansion, there were several rows of sedan chairs. Ruan Shi was afraid that the door would be crowded, so she had people clear a lot of space for emergency use.

Yan Xiaojun looked at Jiang Shuya who was dressed in a gorgeous dress, and her eyes could not help but turn red. She was just a soft and tender little baby, but now she has grown into a big girl. Her body is not doing well, and Yaer has been worrying about her all these years. Now she has to cheer up just for Yaer.

Looking at Yuan Peishan's intimate look, Yan Xiaojun couldn't help but lower her eyes. She didn't expect that she would actually plot against Yaer. This was something she couldn't tolerate. Since that was the case, she would just take advantage of her.

Seeing Jiang Shuyu coming in, Yan Xiaojun's face lit up with joy. She looked at Jiang Shuyu and waved, "Yu'er, come here!"

Seeing Yan Xiaojun's greeting, Jiang Shuyu immediately walked over with a smile and bowed slightly: "Auntie, Second Auntie!"

"Hey, good boy, your big sister is in there! Go quickly!"

Jiang Shuyu nodded slightly and walked in.

Yuan Peishan looked at Jiang Shuyu's back, a hint of obscurity flashed in her eyes. Thinking of her own plan for today, she didn't say much.

As soon as Jiang Shuyu walked into the inner room, she attracted everyone's attention. Jiang Shuyu was wearing a peach blossom misty silk dress that showed off her tall figure. Her face was like a lotus, fair and rosy. Her whole body was full of vitality. There was no trace of her previous frail appearance.

Jiang Wanrong saw the amazement in the eyes of others and was very angry. She always knew that Jiang Shuyu was good-looking, which was why Jiang Xinxue instigated her to dress so that she looked sick. Before Jiang Shuyu fell into the water, she had always been under her control, but now her Jiang Shuyu was becoming more and more difficult to control.

"Third sister is really becoming more and more exquisite. However, today is the eldest sister's coming-of-age ceremony. If third sister attends in such a gorgeous dress, it will inevitably steal the show. I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"

Jiang Shuya's expression changed when she heard Jiang Wanrong's words. A hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Wanrong. Then she stood up and walked in front of Jiang Shuyu.

"It's just an ordinary outfit, why is it so serious as Second Sister said? Our Yu'er is beautiful and that's obvious to everyone. It's not just one or two days. Why does it taste so bad in Second Sister's mouth? Even if Second Sister is jealous, she should consider the situation. Don't make others laugh at her for no reason!"

"Big sister, I'm doing this for your own good. Why are you speaking for Jiang Shuyu?" Jiang Wanrong was immediately furious when she saw that Jiang Shuya not only did not hold a grudge against Jiang Shuyu, but instead scolded her.

Seeing Jiang Wanrong's pretentious appearance, Jiang Shuya's face darkened.

"That's not necessary. I know what's right and what's wrong. I know how Shuyu treats me. There's no need to trouble my second sister to teach me!"

It was already a relief that Jiang Shuya did not attack Jiang Wanrong and her daughter for their schemes. She did not expect that they would actually attack Yu'er at her coming-of-age ceremony. This was something she would never allow!

Seeing Jiang Shuya's angry face, Jiang Shuyu hurried forward to comfort her: "Big sister is a goddess, talented and beautiful, how can Yu'er compare to her? Second sister, you are really worrying about nothing. Although you are self-aware and know that your appearance is a little worse, you are still the daughter of the Jiang family, and you are not much worse. Why bother yourself with such trivial matters!"

"You, you're going too far!" Although Jiang Wanrong was not bad looking, she was just average in Kyoto, and there was nothing particularly outstanding about her.

After all, her skin was like Yuan Peishan's, with quite a few spots on her face, which she usually covered with rouge and powder, making her look much prettier. She felt uncomfortable when she saw people who were prettier than her.

Seeing Jiang Wanrong's angry expression, Jiang Shuya raised her lips slightly. Without waiting for her to say anything more, she glanced at the housekeeper beside her.

Mammy understood immediately and hurried forward to say, "Miss, please get ready. We are about to leave!"

These days, Jiang Shuya has been assisting in the management of the household, and she has a subtle aura of formidable dignity without getting angry, which is especially obvious in front of these young girls who have never experienced anything.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Shuyu looked at the dazzling Jiang Shuya with pride in her eyes. Jiang Shuya should be so noble and dignified.

At the coming-of-age ceremony, Jiang Shuya appeared in front of everyone in gorgeous clothes, looking graceful and elegant. Everyone was amazed at how calmly she handled these complicated and tedious ceremonies, which was pleasing to the eye and they praised her highly.

"As expected of the Duke Dingguo's daughter! She's so graceful and elegant, a true epitome of a noble lady!"

"Not bad, not bad. Although it's not as good as the one before, it's still pretty good."

The man glanced at him, then shook his head helplessly: "You! You really dare to say anything! But after today, I'm afraid the threshold of the Dingguo Mansion will be trampled down!"

"A daughter is sought after by hundreds of families! What's more, Miss Jiang is so outstanding, so naturally..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Jinjinrui's figure and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Look, isn't that His Royal Highness Prince Rui? I didn't expect him to come personally. Could it be that he wants to marry into the Jiang family?"

"More than that! Look over there, His Royal Highness Prince Jing has been back in Beijing for a while now. Have you heard of any banquets he attended? I didn't expect him to attend Miss Jiang's coming-of-age ceremony. I'm afraid he has ulterior motives!"

Jiang Mingxuan was startled as he watched the two approach. Suppressing his doubts, he stepped forward and greeted them. "I didn't realize your Highnesses were so kind to visit us. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. I hope you'll forgive me!"

"It's okay. I was passing by and saw that your mansion was bustling, so I stopped by. You just go about your business." Xiao Jingchuan looked around and didn't see Jiang Shuyu. He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed and naturally had no mood to deal with it.

Xiao Jinrui was different. He was determined to obtain the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. Although Jiang Mingxuan did not hold an important position, he still had a title. If he could gain his support, the military power in Jiang Zhongming's hands would still be at his disposal.

I'm afraid Xiao Jingchuan also saw this, otherwise he wouldn't come here in person. Xiao Jinrui thought for a moment, his face full of smiles, looked at Jiang Mingxuan and then said:

"Your Excellency the Duke is too polite. Today is the day when Miss Jiang comes of age. I am here to give Miss Jiang a gift on the orders of the Imperial Concubine! Someone, bring the gift here!" He then ordered someone to deliver the gift.

"Prince Jing, a golden inkstone!"

"Prince Rui, a jade-faced double-colored embroidered lantern."

"..."

When everyone heard the gift list being read out, they couldn't help but be shocked.
