The matter of selecting a residence for the Marquis' Mansion has finally been settled. Both Chu Xiaoyi and Wei Jiayan felt relieved, as the heavy burden on their hearts was finally resolved.

Over the next two days, with Xunfeng's assistance, the money was exchanged, the title deed was transferred smoothly, and a group of servants were purchased. After careful calculation, an auspicious date was determined for the move to the new house: ten days after receiving the title deed.

However, before the Chu family could relocate, there was one crucial matter: the Dugu family was about to move to the new residence of the Yunnan Prince's Palace in Chang'an City. Just before officially moving into the new residence, most of the luggage and supplies had already arrived at the Yunnan Prince's Palace.

On that day, the sky was clear and blue, and the breeze was gentle and pleasant. Everyone in the Dugu family got up early, dressed and dressed, and everything was ready.

Since the Crown Prince needed to go to the court to attend the morning court session, and as the Crown Princess, it was not appropriate for her to leave the palace easily, Li Neng and Li Ruo were sent as representatives to express congratulations and present the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess with the generous housewarming gifts specially prepared.

After Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue kowtowed to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess on behalf of Dugu Xin to express their gratitude, they boarded the carriage with Li Neng, Li Ruo, Wei Jiayan and Chu Xinyu, drove out of the palace and headed straight for their destination.

When they arrived at the Yunnan Palace, the entrance was bustling with activity. Big red lanterns were hung high, and Dugu Xin, Li Chu, and Chu Xiaoyi were all there to greet the guests.

When Liu Jingyue saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel that she was about to have a social anxiety attack... There are actually more people moving house than celebrating a birthday or even getting married in modern times?

Dugu Jingyao couldn't help but frown, thinking: Didn't father say that he didn't send out many invitations? Why are there so many people?

Just as they were thinking about this, Dugu Xin came over with a smile, "You are finally here, come in quickly!" Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue followed Dugu Xin into the mansion.

By this time, many guests had already arrived at the mansion. Seeing Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue, they all came up to greet them. Liu Jingyue was a little shy, while Dugu Jingyao responded politely. Dugu Xin led the two to the living room and asked them to rest for a while.

Dugu Jingyao looked around the new mansion, which was elegantly furnished and exuded a sense of nobility and elegance. She secretly sighed that this place was even more magnificent than the mansion in Yunnan, although it was slightly smaller.

At this time, Dugu Xin walked over. "How is it? Do you still like it here?" Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue nodded in unison. "I like it! It's very beautiful. Thank you, father." Dugu Xin smiled. "I'm glad you like it. From now on, this will be our new residence in Chang'an. I still have to greet the guests. You can also help take care of the women!"

After saying that, Dugu Jingyao and Liu Jingyue said, "Yes, father." Dugu Xin went to the front to continue greeting the guests, while the two sisters came to the backyard to greet the female members of the family.

It could be said that these two were responsible for entertaining the female guests, but in fact most of the arrangements were made by Dugu Jingyao, while Liu Jingyue simply bowed with a smile and then stood quietly by to listen to their conversation, rarely interrupting.

In addition, Wei Jiayan and Li Ruo were also busy assisting in entertaining the guests. After all, one of them was the wife of a marquis and the younger sister of the Crown Princess; the other was the Crown Prince's only legitimate daughter. With such a rare opportunity to curry favor with them, they naturally rushed to show off.

Fortunately, no major incidents occurred today. After all, the jealous and narrow-minded Cui Caiping was still under house arrest in the Cui Mansion due to her previous offenses and could not come.

However, even so, some women still harbored jealousy. Those who admired Li Chu would occasionally mutter sourly, "Look at this so-called royal palace! It looks even smaller than my home!"

Someone else chimed in, "That's right. Even if she's a princess, so what? After all, she still comes from that remote Yunnan province, exuding a certain family air!"

Dugu Jingyao was fine, and Liu Jingyue didn't bother to pay attention to them, knowing that they were "sour grapes". But Si Jian was always impulsive and almost rushed up to pick a fight with them...

Fortunately, Shi Jian discovered the situation in time and calmed Si Jian down, thus avoiding a conflict.

However, Li Ruo, although young, was a princess after all, so she reprimanded them with her dignity as a princess, and punished them by sending them home to copy the "Female Instructions" and asking them to follow the teachings of their ancestors.

The two young ladies did not dare to contradict the princess's order, and their mothers were also there. The two mothers' faces turned red and white when they were scolded, which was very beautiful.

After receiving the princess's order, no one dared to stay any longer. It was already embarrassing enough, so they left first, either on the grounds of feeling unwell or having something to do at home.

Seeing this result, Si Jian felt that the anger in his heart had dissipated a lot.

Later, when the father of the two young ladies returned home and heard about what happened in the Yunnan Palace, he severely punished the two and personally went to apologize.

Dugu Xin was not the type to swallow his anger, and he declared to the outside world: "Since you look down on our house, there is no need to come here anymore. It is better to have less contact with us, so as not to pass on our poverty to you!"

Those two were so embarrassed... They had originally wanted to curry favor with these powerful people, but now, because of a word from their daughter, they have offended all these people!

So, after returning home, they received another severe lecture. Before they returned to Yunnan, these two young ladies from official families never showed their faces again... Of course, this is all a story for later.
