The Jiang Mansion is bustling today. The eldest son escorted the second young lady back from Old Madam Jiang's parents' home. I heard that he brought back a lot of things.

The front yard was so festive that it looked like a wedding was about to take place at home; even the somewhat deserted Qingfang Courtyard could hear the noise.

Baozhu was afraid that Jiang Nian would be unhappy, so she wanted to say a few words of comfort, but before she could open her mouth, Jiang Nian said calmly, "No need to comfort me."

She knew better than anyone what kind of people the Jiang family was. In her previous life, because of her elder brother, the Jiang family treated her very well and even helped her break off the marriage with the Yan family. So she really believed it.

Oh, one can’t be stupid for two lifetimes, right?

If she still fantasizes about the Jiang family's false affection in this life, it only proves that the poisoned wine was not strong enough, and the sword was not sharp enough...

The front yard was bustling for a while, and around noon, someone finally came outside.

A servant from Shou'an Hall came to invite her: "Young lady, the old lady wants you to come over for dinner."

"Got it, let's go."

I walked all the way to Shou'an Hall, and before I even entered, I heard laughter coming from inside.

Someone at the door announced, "Madam, the eldest girl is here."

The laughter in the room stopped abruptly, and the maid led her out.

There were only three people sitting at the table: Old Madam Jiang, Mrs. Feng, and the second daughter, Jiang Nian.

Madam Jiang said kindly, "Come on, come sit down, it's a good opportunity to meet your second sister."

Jiang Nian didn't stand up, but just nodded at her and called her sister.

Jiang Nian is one year younger than her. She is petite and lovely, with a well-behaved and delicate face, and tender and innocent eyes. When she smiles, she is truly charming.

No wonder her elder brother likes her.

"Why don't you see big brother?"

"Your eldest brother is busy. He was called away as soon as he came back. Let's eat and ignore him."

Hearing this, Jiang Nian looked at Jiang Nian calmly, with a barely perceptible smile on her lips, feeling proud in her heart. When her elder brother left, he specifically told her about it, but he never even looked at Jiang Nian.

The dinner table was dull and no one spoke.

The meal was almost over when Old Madam Jiang finally couldn't help but speak: "The Yan family sent an invitation today, saying there will be a flower viewing banquet at the mansion tomorrow. You should prepare well and go to the banquet with Shuyu tomorrow."

Shuyu is Feng's name.

Jiang Nian didn't ask any more questions, just replied, "Yes."

Jiang Nian looked at Jiang Nian from time to time, his watery eyes full of inquiry.

Jiang Nian pretended not to see it and ate the meal calmly.

At this moment, the servants outside rushed in: "Old Madam, Old Madam!"

Feng shouted angrily, "What are you making such a commotion about? You're such an unruly person!"

"Madam, please forgive me, there's someone outside... outside... outside!"

Seeing the servant so flustered, could it be some important person?

"You slave, hurry up and tell me!"

"They said they were from Princess Huaining's residence."

What! Madam Jiang and Mrs. Feng were both shocked.

"Have you asked clearly? Is it someone from the Princess's Mansion?"

"After asking carefully, it turns out that it is indeed someone from the princess's mansion. He sent a letter saying that he is looking for our girl." After saying that, the servant quickly handed over the letter.

Madam Jiang and Mrs. Feng read it word by word and were instantly overjoyed.

Feng was overjoyed. The girl in the mansion, wasn’t that her daughter?

She knew that her daughter was the best. Look, even Her Royal Highness the Princess knew it.

He glanced at Old Madam Jiang and reminded her, "Mother, please invite them in quickly."

"Yes, yes, please come in quickly."

Shou'an Hall became busy, removing the used food and replacing it with new tea and snacks.

Princess Huaining is the aunt of the current emperor. His Majesty values filial piety and is extremely loyal to this aunt. Princess Huaining has a say in the imperial court.

Sending a letter to visit means it is a good thing. If Sister Nian can really establish a relationship with the Princess's Mansion, it will be a great fortune for the Jiang family!

Jiang Nian smiled to herself. She didn't know Princess Huaining, but her elder brother told her today that he would accompany Prince Jin to pay his respects to Princess Huaining.

My brother is on good terms with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and Princess Huaining is His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin's great aunt, so it is indeed possible that he mentioned her in front of the princess.

The more she thought about it, the more likely it was, as her eldest brother had always been good to her.

Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Nian who was silent in the corner, with a hint of pride in his eyes. So what if she was his biological sister? She was raised outside since childhood, so she was not his biological sister.

Madam Jiang also looked at Jiang Nian and said calmly, "Shou'an Hall is going to entertain distinguished guests. You have been uneducated since childhood. You should go back first to avoid losing your manners."

Jiang Nian didn't ask any more questions, but bowed and said, "Then my granddaughter will take her leave first."

After leaving the yard, he turned around and glanced at Shou'an Hall. Was he so sure that he was here to find Jiang Nian?

There will be some fun to watch next.

Not long after Jiang Nian left, someone from the princess's mansion was invited into the palace. It was a nanny. After all, she was from the princess's mansion, so she had a different aura.

The nanny came in and bowed politely.

"I am from Princess Huaining's residence. I am here to pick up the young lady from your residence on the princess's orders."

When Madam Jiang heard this, she was delighted. Feng, who was beside her, hurriedly pulled Jiang Nian to the nanny and said, "Madam, this is my daughter."

Jiang Nian bowed obediently: "Mammy."

"Madam, my daughter is very well-behaved. It is her blessing that you come here in person." Mrs. Feng was very proud. Her daughter was about to get married.

The nanny looked at her for a while and nodded with satisfaction. She was indeed a well-mannered and polite girl.

"In that case, please ask Miss Jiang to follow me and leave. Don't keep His Highness waiting anxiously."

Jiang Nianfu bowed and walked out first. The nanny turned around and looked at Old Madam Jiang and smiled, "The Jiang family is so lucky to have such a beautiful and intelligent girl. Not many can catch His Highness's eye. The Jiang family can just wait to be rewarded."

Upon hearing this, not only Mrs. Feng, but even Old Madam Jiang smiled with wrinkles all over her face: "Thank you, Madam. Being able to serve His Highness is a blessing she has earned in eight lifetimes."

Jiang Nian stood not far away and watched the people from the princess's mansion leave, with a smile on his face.

Baozhu felt wronged: "Miss, His Highness clearly wanted to invite you. Why did he invite the second young lady? Is she trying to claim credit for your work?"

Jiang Nian deliberately didn't bring Baozhu with him when he went to Shou'an Hall just now, for fear that he would be recognized if he didn't leave in time.

Princess Huaining is old and in poor health. She has been relying on medicine for many years, but her condition has not improved.

She asked Baozhu's cousin to hand the prescription to Wanfutang, attracting people from the princess's mansion, and then asked Baozhu to take the sachet to meet the people from the princess's mansion. Now it seems that the sachet has been handed to Princess Huaining.

The reason why the princess came to invite someone today was because of the sachet.

The people in the front yard were so happy that they were almost setting off firecrackers. The Yan family could not be compared with the princess's mansion. Old Madam Jiang instantly forgot about her and even sent the things that were originally intended for her yard to Jiang Nian's yard.

Baozhu stood up for her daughter and said, "My daughter, those are obviously yours, but now they are all taken by the second daughter."

Jiang Nian sat at the desk, writing something. He didn't look up, and said calmly, "What belongs to me is mine. No one can take it away."

After that, he handed the written things to Baozhu: "While the front yard is busy with us, give this to your cousin and ask him to take it to Wanfu Hall. By the way, ask Mama Pang if what I want is finished. Also, buy some food for dinner when you come back."

Baozhu didn't understand why she had to buy food. Wasn't every meal delivered to the mansion?

But she always followed the girl's instructions.

"Yes."

When Baozhu came back in the evening, she found out why the girl asked her to buy food.

The front yard was bustling with activity as the family celebrated the Jiang family's good fortune. Jiang Nian was so excited that he asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner to celebrate, but he forgot about Qingfangyuan.

"It's really too much!"

Not only did the second girl pretend to be her daughter, but now the people in the mansion are treating her daughter harshly and don't even send her food!

Jiang Nian burst out laughing: "You little girl, you have a bad temper. Come on and eat. We don't have a small kitchen in the yard. If it gets cold, there's no place to heat it up for you. Go to bed early today and watch the fun tomorrow."

Hearing that there was some excitement, Baozhu didn't sleep well all night and went out to find out the news before dawn.

As soon as Jiang Nian woke up, Baozhu came back from outside and couldn't wait to share the good news with Jiang Nian.

"Miss, the second girl is back and she doesn't look well."
