The old woman was stunned for a moment and couldn't say anything for a while.

Seeing that Madam Xie was truly angry, the maidservant hurried to comfort her, saying, "Madam, that's not what I meant... It's just that if the eldest lady is unhappy and makes trouble for Madam Ye, it will be embarrassing for everyone and the impact won't be good."

"Isn't this servant... worried?"

Madam Xie's brows darkened. After a moment's reflection, she said, "She suits something simple and elegant. She likes a slender figure. Those jade and pearls suit her, but this one doesn't suit her."

"Do as I say, and she won't be in any way."

The old woman didn't dare to say anything more: "I know, I will find it out right away."

Mrs. Xie nodded, thinking that Ye Nanyue's figure was excellent.

So plump that you can’t see the bones, so slim that you can’t see the flesh.

It makes people happy just by looking at it.

After a while, the old woman found the headgear.

Mrs. Xie said hurriedly, "Put it in a box and place it by my bed. Don't forget it when the time comes."

"Oh, right? Don't we have some Shu brocade? Ask the embroiderer to prepare a few veils for the girl, and bring me some fabric. I want to embroider a few handkerchiefs for her myself."

Considering that Ye Nanyue is doing business in the store, these should be necessary.

"Okay, I'll go right away." The old woman didn't dare to say anything more and went there immediately.

Shu brocade is precious and every inch of it is worth gold.

But the lady wanted to make veils and handkerchiefs for people, it seems that she really likes Madam Ye.

"By the way, if you want to decorate the veil with strings of tassels, you can use the pearls in my storehouse. They are just the right size." Mrs. Xie added hurriedly.

Mother-in-law: “…Yes.”

Just now you said that the eldest lady is suitable for pearls?

If it was just suspicion before, the old woman is now almost certain.

Madam, this... you really treat the eldest lady differently.

After a while, Mrs. Xie's yard began to bustle with activity.

Ye Nanyue brought her a stack of women's towels, and she felt much better now.

By the time the maid brought all the things, Mrs. Xie had enough strength to get up and was planning to write a note to Ye Nanyue first.

Madam Xie had just stood up and hadn't even started writing when she heard a maid come in and announce, "Madam, the eldest lady is here."

Madam Xie frowned slightly, but she didn't say much. She just said, "Please come in."

"Yes."

The servant hurried to invite the person in.

After a while, a young woman came in, surrounded by several maids.

She was wearing a long, white dress with a long trailing hem. It was embroidered with dark patterns made of silver threads, just like clouds and mist, revealing a simple and elegant air that was otherworldly.

The woman wore very few accessories, with a jade pendant hanging around her waist, which was warm, smooth and transparent, without any other superfluous ornaments.

Her black hair was loosely tied up and inserted diagonally with a white jade hairpin carved with orchid patterns. Her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, her eyes contained autumn frost, and her lips were extremely pale.

Just like the whole body attire, cool and elegant, isolated from the world.

This is Xie Wan Ning, the eldest daughter of the Xie family who was taken away by mistake.

When the person came in, Mrs. Xie saw him and frowned slightly again.

I used to think that this daughter was good in every way, extraordinary and different from others.

since……

Now I just feel that her increasingly simple and elegant dress is just a deliberate imitation of her words and deeds.

She thought she looked extraordinary in this white dress, but now when Mrs. Xie saw it, she felt it was very unlucky!

I couldn't help but think of Ye Nanyue again.

The same accessories are simple, yet exude nobility and are charming, which is invisibly the most similar to her character.

Mrs. Xie's expression quickly returned to normal, so quickly that Xie Wan Ning thought it was an illusion.

Xie Wan Ning smiled and walked to the desk in the room. She said in a friendly voice, "Mother, why are you up writing? If I remember correctly, you should be having a little day. Why don't you take a good rest?"

Mrs. Xie smiled adoringly and said softly, "It's okay. I got a good thing today. It's okay to get up. I'll write an invitation. It will be quick."

Xie Wan Ning asked curiously, "Who is this person? She actually wrote the invitation herself."

Madam Xie didn't answer Xie Wanning. She glanced at her and said, "This is an invitation to your grandfather's birthday. By the way, your grandfather's birthday is in a few days. You can't dress like this anymore. It will make people think that your status is not as good as before and that you are being neglected by the Xie family."

"If your grandparents saw this, they would probably feel bad too."

Xie Wanning choked for a moment, looked at Madam Xie and smiled bitterly, "Mother is right. I will make two new sets of clothes tomorrow."

"Yeah." Mrs. Xie nodded and lowered her head to write the post.

Xie Wanning glanced at Madam Xie, her eyes narrowed with a smile: "Mother, where did you get the milk tea today? I heard from the servants that you also brought back a lot of pine cakes."

"Well, I just found it by chance outside, what's the matter?" Mrs. Xie asked casually.

Xie Wan Ning said quickly, "Grandfather had some sent back, and my daughter got a piece too."

"I heard that my second uncle's sister also got some, and it was sent back by my cousin from the Imperial College. What a coincidence today."

Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows and quickly understood.

"The young lady who makes pastries is the younger sister of your grandfather's new student. I think she was sent here from there." Mrs. Xie said casually.

"Oh, is that so?"

Xie Wanning lowered her head, hiding the expression in her eyes.

Then he looked up at Mrs. Xie and asked with a smile, "Did mother get it from that Song Song cake shop?"

Mrs. Xie did not hide it: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Nothing. I heard that this thing came from the palace. I heard... it might be a tribute from the seventh prince." Xie Wan Ning said hurriedly.

Mrs. Xie paused and looked at Xie Wanning with a frown: "How did you know?"

Xie Wan Ning covered her mouth as if she had let something slip: "I...I heard it from Daddy."

Mrs. Xie nodded slightly: "Really?"

Her husband didn't tell her, but he told his daughter.

"Has the Seventh Prince returned to Beijing?" asked Madam Xie.

Xie Wan Ning nodded and said, "Well... Daddy said that the outside world is saying that the Seventh Prince has returned to the capital."

"It's just that my identity hasn't been made public yet, so no one dares to mention it."

Madam Xie simply put down her pen, took Xie Wanning's hand, and the mother and daughter sat down on the soft couch: "Even if the Seventh Prince returns to the capital, his status is sensitive, and I don't know when he can resume his position."

"And... I heard that he married and had children in the countryside."

"You...you should stop thinking about the marriage you arranged with him seven years ago. Wait for some time, until the Seventh Prince's status is confirmed. Then have your grandfather come to the palace and ask for an imperial decree to completely cancel this marriage."

In addition to Xie Wan Ning's background, she was also famous in the capital for her arranged marriage to the Seventh Prince.

Xie Wan Ning's face turned pale, and the smile in her eyes faded little by little: "Mother...when the Seventh Prince returns to the capital, he should marry me and marry me."
