The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

At that time, Jian Yue didn't have a name yet. She heard the servants gossiping all day long, saying how lowly and shameful they were. As a result, she really loathed the woman next to her.

Why? Because she was born to a lowly maid.

In her heart, if it weren't for her mother's shameless desire to sleep with him, how could she have ended up like this?

And she wouldn't have such a shameful background.

Until noon that day, the godlike Murong Chuan appeared in her sight, finally pulling her away from that filthy woman and completely changing her fate. But what she didn't know was that from that moment on, it was the beginning of her descent into endless darkness.

Shaking her head, Jian Yue scoffed and shook off the memories in her mind, looking towards the gate of the Qiu residence.

The plaque still shines as brightly as I remember, its gilded characters proclaiming the glory of the Qiu family. But I wonder if the Qiu family will be able to maintain its current splendor in the future.

Perhaps, from the moment she returned, things will be rewritten.

"What kind of Miss Qiu is this? You're delusional! What kind of young lady do you look like? Get out of here and don't defile my Qiu family's territory."

Her memory was interrupted by the gatekeeper's words. Jian Yue looked up and saw Xiao Cui glaring angrily at the gatekeeper, arguing with him.

"You are extremely rude, young man. If my young lady were not a member of the Qiu family, why would I come here to speak to you? You are lowering our young lady's status for no reason. You should go in and announce our arrival. If you delay the young lady's arrival, be careful that the madam and master will punish you."

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper hesitated for a moment, but it quickly disappeared. The two exchanged a glance and then pushed Xiao Cui down the steps together, almost causing her to fall. If Jian Yue hadn't stepped forward to help her up in time, Xiao Cui would definitely have fallen.

"Get out, get out! I've never seen such a down-on-her-luck young lady. My family does have a young lady coming back, but she's not this shabby. Look at you all, dressed like beggars. Even if my young lady is down on her luck, she's not dressed like this."

"Sigh, you guys..."

Xiao Cui was so angry that she wanted to step forward and argue, but Jian Yue interrupted her. Xiao Cui said angrily, "Miss, look at them, they are really looking down on people."

Jian Yue blocked Xiao Cui behind her, turned around and said softly to the two gatekeepers, "Young men, please don't be angry. My girl is used to living in the countryside and naturally doesn't know how to speak. I apologize to you both."

However, I am indeed a young lady here. It's just that I've lived on the estate for several years, and life there has been too difficult. I'm not good with words and have never written to the manor, so I've been living a bit frugally. That's why I've neglected my attire. I hope you two will forgive my poor appearance.

"However, cough cough, it's not good for us to stay here like this. Why don't you two inform them? It won't take much time. I've been frail since childhood, and if I wait here too long, something might happen to my health, which would be a burden on the Madam and Master, wouldn't it?"

The implication is that if you don't inform me, I can only wait here. It's alright if I wait too long and accidentally fall ill and die. Then I won't be able to marry in place of your young lady, and your young lady will really have to marry a crippled, ugly man.

Upon hearing this, the two gatekeepers were indeed somewhat frightened.

It was obvious that they had received instructions from above to make things difficult for the Sixth Miss when she returned.
