Qi Caiwei felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

She stared blankly at Jiang Ziyan, wishing she could shut him up.

All I could hear were the women's mocking laughter.

"Madam, try to think more positively. What man doesn't have an affair? What's wrong with keeping a mistress? Xing'er gave birth to a girl. Just get rid of the mother and keep the child."

“Sister Qi, whether that mistress is your husband’s childhood sweetheart or his beloved, she’s still a concubine once she enters the household. How can she possibly surpass you? You are, after all, a secondary wife…”

"That's right. No matter how much she cherishes someone, she's still just a country girl. How can she compare to the daughter of a high-ranking official!"

"Lady Qi, you are my only equal wife. Even if I take ten or eight more concubines, they will still be concubines in the end..."

"Sister Qi, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Think about it more. Your husband is actually quite good; he only has you as his first wife and doesn't even have a concubine. If he takes another one now, it will keep you company, and if he can have more children, the family can prosper..."

……

The women were talking all at once, almost turning Yu Yan Zhai upside down.

Yu Yan Zhai was the best rouge shop in Jiangzhou, and its customers were almost all wealthy ladies and young women.

The young ladies watched the commotion from the sidelines, covering their mouths, while the women, whether they knew the women or not, all wanted to chime in.

Naturally, some of them recognized Qi Caiwei.

Even though she was wearing a veil, I could still recognize her.

The women came forward in twos and threes and surrounded her.

Some were her friends in the past, while others were friends with Madam Qin but had fallen out with her.

Qi Caiwei covered her ears, shook her head, and shouted hoarsely, "Stop talking, stop talking..."

She felt a headache, a face pain, a chest pain, pain all over her body.

It's like a swarm of flies buzzing in your ear.

I'm about to suffocate...

With a cry of "Ah...", he fell straight down.

“Mother…” Jiang Zijin’s face was ashen, her eyes red from crying. Together with Granny Gong, she pushed through the crowd and rescued her mother.

At that moment, she felt as if her small body was being crushed and unable to breathe.

She couldn't take it anymore.

At such a young age, he already has endless family matters to worry about.

Her parents, who always have so many worries, never give her a moment's peace.

This is the Jiang family.

It's absolutely awful!!

It wasn't like this in my previous life...

Back then, mothers were kind and children were filial. Fathers didn't have any childhood sweethearts, nor did they keep mistresses, let alone have a little sister.

Everything has changed...

How could this be?

Seeing the cosmetics shop in chaos, Jiang Ziyan grabbed his sister and ran away.

These women have mouths that are laced with venom; one woman is worth ten censors, and they always find a way to stab people in the heart.

Terrifying, terrifying!

It's really scary!

Don't set a bad example for your younger sister.

Jiang Zifeng looked bewildered and ran after her younger brother.

Fearing that her younger brother wouldn't be able to run fast while carrying his younger sister, she took the baby cub from his arms.

Keep running...

The older brothers ran faster than the next one, as if a bear was chasing them.

Little Miaomiao's chubby little face twitched.

She could only feel the wind whistling past her ears, and the shops and people on the roadside seemed to lose their senses.

Wow! That's so exciting!

The young maid Xi'er has a gossipy heart.

She was enjoying the conversation when she turned around and saw that her young master was gone.

She took off running.

The three of them inexplicably started chasing each other, seemingly engaged in a contest.

Jiang Ziyan originally didn't want to run away anymore, feeling like a fool.

But the thought of finally venting my pent-up anger made me feel relieved.

They chased after it...

Running in the evening breeze.

It's even more enjoyable.

The three of them ran all the way home.

Then he ran back into the house without anyone noticing.

As soon as Jiang Miaomiao got home, she slept soundly for a long time. Although her older brother carried her for several blocks and it was her brother who did the work, she still felt tired.

She was just tired from crying.

Xi'er dared not let her guard down any longer, so she kept her eyes fixed on her young mistress, afraid that she might suddenly get up and ask for her help again.

Or perhaps his eyes darted around, and he came up with some mischievous idea.

Ask her for help...

evening.

Smoke curls from the kitchen.

Those who were away from home have returned.

Jiang Miaomiao slept soundly, feeling that the back of her head was flat.

She was served as soon as she opened her eyes, and was taken care of very well. She also experienced the life of a lady from a wealthy family.

"Sister Xi'er, don't look into Mother's eyes later. Mother will judge whether you're telling the truth or not based on your eyes," the little cub instructed.

Xi'er: ...

Good heavens, what kind of people live in this family!

My heart is pounding.

Like mother, like daughter.

Jiang Miaomiao, wearing a new, pretty little dress, trotted towards the dining room.

Mother, Aunt Xiuxiu and Auntie have returned, but Godfather and Uncle are nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Miaomiao yawned, looked around and asked her mother: "Mom, where are Dad and Uncle?"

"They have official business to attend to, they'll be back in a few days," Lu Qingyao replied absentmindedly to her little girl.

Her face was gloomy, as if she had something on her mind.

Jiang Miaomiao was a little disappointed.

The father I just recognized has disappeared in the blink of an eye?

She quite liked this handsome dad.

They have power, influence, and money; you need to cultivate good relationships and curry favor with them.

"Was Miaomiao well-behaved today?" Lu Qingyao asked.

She noticed the little one was unhappy and kissed her little head.

Hmm! Why is there a faint scent of perfume?

“Good girl, Miaomiao is very good.” Jiang Zifeng and his brother, along with Xi’er, replied in unison.

Lu Qingyao then noticed the maid Xi'er and her daughter's newly styled double buns.

Two small tufts of hair were combed smooth and neatly, and tied with a red ribbon with a small bell.

It makes a tinkling sound when it walks, which is quite pleasant.

I could tell the little guy was coming from afar.

The stitching is actually quite good...

However, the little maid kept her head down and kept tugging at the hem of her clothes.

If she tugged again, the hem of her clothes would be torn off...

"Xi'er, my son is naughty, I'll have to trouble you in the future." Lu Qingyao patted the little girl's shoulder.

The young girl trembled with fright, but still kept her head down, curtsied, and replied, "This servant will do everything in my power to take good care of you, madam. Please rest assured."

Lu Qingyao smiled and glanced at the three children again.

The eldest and second eldest brothers didn't even look up; they just kept eating in silence.

After eating one bowl, he got another.

I've already had three bowls!

Feng'er eats three large bowls of food at every meal, so her eating habits today are not surprising.

But what's strange is Yan'er.

He usually only eats one bowl, but today he actually ate his third bowl!

Look at the little cub, it looks very well-behaved, slowly putting food into its mouth spoonful by spoonful.

They didn't complain about eating roast chicken.

After finishing her meal, she raised her little face, pouting her oily little mouth, and said, "Mommy, wipe it off."

Lu Qingyao, interrupted by her, didn't delve any further into the matter. She took the handkerchief Xi'er offered and wiped her little girl's face and mouth.

Xiuxiu, however, remembered the rumors she had heard when she returned.

"Sister, the news about Tao Tao is all over the place. Did you have it spread?"

She went to follow Judge Qin today, and when she came back, her older sister was already at home.

But my sister said to keep it a secret for now, and to reveal it when the Lu family's case is resolved, the Lu family is pardoned, and there is hope for an overturned case, so that it can help her get a divorce.

Revealing this now might backfire...
