Reborn, I was pursued by the Prince of the Broken Sleeves

A nice pleated skirt?

snort!

Su Manman snorted in her heart.

Yesterday morning, Aunt Liu kindly sent someone to deliver a set of skirts.

She opened the box and saw that it was an ordinary-style skirt.

The skirt is covered with red clusters of light pink camellia flowers hugging each other.

Taohong and other maids saw this and sneered.

Taohong said angrily, "Madam Liu is really mean-spirited. How can such a colorful dress suit a girl?"

"The ready-made dress we bought at Jinli Embroidery and Textile Shop is much prettier than this one."

Su Manman thought about it, put away the clothes and jewelry her mother had bought for her, and put it on again.

She grew up in the countryside, exposed to the wind and sun, and her skin was covered with a layer of gray and black.

Wearing such a bright red dress, standing among the group of beautiful girls in the princess's mansion, her dark complexion and extravagant clothes looked even more out of place, making her stand out from the crowd.

At noon, when Bai Huanyi met her, his eyes were indifferent, and the corners of his mouth were raised, "The camellia on this dress really suits you."

Her expression and tone definitely didn't indicate genuine praise.

In her previous life, she had a simple mind, and she was happy for a long time because of this straightforward compliment.

Who knew that the words of these people would become her death warrant, dragging her into the hell of despair.

Su Manman's eyes were cold as she watched these people's performance indifferently.

"Sister!"

Su Jiaojiao looked sad. She hugged the sleeve tightly with trembling hands and sobbed, "You have inherited your mother's health and have had urinary problems since childhood. That's why your father sent you to the countryside to recuperate. I never thought that once you arrived in the capital, you would..."

Her crying attracted everyone to stop and look sideways, curiously gazing towards the Orchid Fragrance Garden.

Some girls who were about to leave also turned back, stood at the gate of the courtyard, and looked inside.

Tears as big as beans welled up in Su Jiaojiao's eyes. "Eldest sister, you like the freedom of the countryside and the camellia trees in the country yard. For this banquet, I specially made your favorite camellia dress..."

"You came here happily yesterday, but I never thought that..." She choked with sobs and couldn't continue.

编！

She's really good at making up stories.

She can turn black into white just by talking.

In the capital, the biggest rumor about the Minister of Rites, Lord Su, is that he treats his two daughters differently.

The legitimate daughter, born to the wife, was sent to the countryside for education.

Although she was a concubine's daughter, she was brought up in the capital. Many famous masters were invited to teach her music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In her daily life, she was treated exactly like the legitimate daughter of the Su family.

To put it simply, he is partial to his two daughters.

To put it bluntly, it is a precursor to favoring a concubine and killing one's wife.

He ignored his wife and their two children, but treated his concubine very highly and as if she were his wife.

Everyone else knows the personal affairs of these officials, but they just don't say it out loud.

Now, Su Jiaojiao wants to take advantage of Su Manman's death to overturn her previous bad reputation.

"Eldest sister, even if you die, I will find your body and bring you back home!"

Su Jiaojiao screamed, and rushed into the rubble without caring about anything else. She used her bare hands to pick up the remains of the collapsed roof beams, crying and shouting, "Eldest sister, where are you, where are you?"

A pair of slender, snow-white hands were stained with fireworks ashes in just a moment.

"what you do!"

Ye Zhi was the closest to her, and he didn't care about etiquette. He grabbed her arm with one hand, dragged her out from in front of the ruins, and scolded her: "Stop using your hands."

"Your Highness, I want to find my elder sister. I want to find her as soon as possible." She cried breathlessly and collapsed in Ye Zhi's arms. "She is most afraid of pain. Such a big fire, burning her, how scared she must be!"

The petite body nestled in his arms, trembling slightly, made people feel inexplicably soft-hearted.

Ye Zhi held her arm and said, "Your hand is injured. Come on, someone, find some burn ointment."

"My hand, it's okay!"

Her voice was weak and she looked at him with tearful eyes. She looked so pitiful that people couldn't help but feel pity for her.

"How can it be okay?"

He grabbed her arm, his expression solemn. "Even though the bright fire is out, there's still a dark fire. How could you do this to your own hands?"

"For my elder sister, I don't need these hands anymore, so what!" Su Jiaojiao raised her eyes, tears rolling down her clear eyes.

The pair of slender, snow-white hands were now pitch black, with red marks visible to the naked eye on the back of the hands, shocking the onlookers.

The only goal in life for these official ladies living in seclusion is to find a good husband.

To find a husband of your dreams, one must have family background, appearance, and knowledge.

For a woman, a pair of slender, white hands is even more precious than a beautiful appearance.

If my hand is injured, which young man in the mansion would be willing to marry me?

Everyone was moved by this scene.

"I heard something unexpected happened yesterday. She stayed here all night and refused to listen to anyone's advice."

"Su Jiaojiao and Miss Su are not born of the same mother. I never thought she would be able to do this when her elder sister was in trouble."

"Yesterday I was making a presumptuous remark that the concubine in charge of the household affairs in the Su Mansion was treating the legitimate daughter harshly, forcing her to attend the banquet in a tacky long dress. It turns out that long dress was Su Manman's favorite."

"It's normal for a girl raised in the countryside to be so short-sighted and like to dress like that."

"Looking at the deep affection between these sisters, the Su Mansion must be peaceful."

"No wonder a concubine is in charge of the household chores. It turns out the mistress is not in good health."

"The mother is not in good health, so her daughter is naturally weak as well. Lord Su braved everyone's criticism and sent her to the countryside for education. It is truly rare."

"You still have to raise him in the countryside. If he returns to Beijing, he'll be dead."

"Poor thing, so pitiful!"

"..."

Su Manman felt a chill in her heart.

Su Jiaojiao's self-torture trick successfully helped everyone in the Su family get rid of the past infamy and clear their names.

What a scheming person.

Ye Zhi was also moved by her and said with emotion: "Your eldest sister actually has such a good sister like you."

Bai Huanyi loosened the handkerchief that was tightly wrapped around her and walked forward to hold Su Jiaojiao's hand.

She pulled her out of Ye Zhi's arms and said gently, "This is the Princess's residence. His Royal Highness Prince Jin is here too, and all the guards and servants are here. How could we let a girl like you do it yourself and hurt your hands?"

She gently brushed away the ashes on the back of Su Jiaojiao's hand, her face full of sorrow. "If Lord Su comes, the eldest lady is gone, and the second lady is injured, he will be so distressed! Right?"

They are all White Bone Demons, and no one understands anyone else’s tricks.

There are so many people in the Princess's Mansion, you don't need to be in the spotlight.

If you try to step forward and get hurt, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Princess and His Highness?

Su Jiaojiao understood the hidden meaning behind Bai Huanyi's words, tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to act recklessly anymore. "Sister Bai, I've never experienced anything like this before. I panicked for a moment and lost my composure."

She turned sideways and bowed deeply to Ye Zhi, "Please forgive me, Your Highness Prince Jin.
