Su Houye's face was very ugly, and his eyes when looking at Mrs. Zhou were cold, "You have to go even if you don't want to go. Isn't this all a good thing you did? The King of Beiliang has returned to Beijing. If he doesn't go, Do you want Xueer to marry that evil star?"

The emperor has decreed that all the women of suitable age from official families should participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet for a few days.

On the surface it was to choose a concubine for the prince, but in fact it was to choose a concubine for the King of Northern Liang.

I heard that the Northern Liang King was already in his late twenties, a bit old, and his appearance was ruined by the war.

What was even more frightening was that his blood-red eyes gave enemies on the battlefield chills down their backs.

He was also destined to be a lone star in the sky, and I heard that none of the women who had been engaged to him could survive.

Therefore, all the ladies in the capital are engaged or married, but they are unwilling to choose a concubine.

Mrs. Zhou trembled all over and looked at her daughter distressedly, "No! I can't let Xue'er jump into the fire pit. Xue'er is the best candidate for the crown princess. When the princess dies of illness, our Xue'er can marry Enter the Prince's Mansion and become the concubine, I will go and bring you back tomorrow."

No matter how unwilling she was, she still wanted to get her back. Only by letting her marry that evil star would her Xue'er be safe.

Su Zhiyun also looked at her sister with a gentle look on her face. Her sister had been pampered since she was a child and she definitely couldn't marry that evil star.

The conditions in Beiliang are difficult, and Xueer will definitely not be able to bear it.

The only choice is to let the little girl who came back from the country marry the evil star. Anyway, she grew up in the country and is used to suffering.

"Mom, I will go with you tomorrow." Su Zhiyun was afraid that her mother would be too stubborn and could not be coaxed by her grandmother to let her little sister come back.

As long as he goes, grandma will definitely let him go.

"I'll go with my mother too. My sister must be unfamiliar with everything in the capital when she comes back. As a younger sister, I have to take good care of her." Su Zhixue said understandingly.

Secretly, she was extremely angry. She wanted to see what that woman was like. Her grandmother actually liked her so much.

Grandma was neither cold nor cold towards her, but she was different towards that country girl. Why?
They are all her granddaughters, how can she be inferior to that country girl?

The next day.

No matter how reluctant Zhou was, she still had to go to the Duke Protector's Mansion to pick her up.

Looking at the mansion that she had not set foot in for more than ten years, Mrs. Zhou frowned slightly.

The Protector's Mansion had a noble lintel, but the Marquis Mansion was in decline. The obvious contrast made her unwilling to accept it.

She had fallen in love with Mr. Su Hou at first glance, so she had to marry him.

Marrying into the Hou family was not as wonderful as she imagined. Lord Su not only had a wife but also a concubine.

If she hadn't had a strong natal family to support her in these years, life in the Su Mansion would have been difficult.

Zhou didn't want to think too much, so she entered the Duke Protector's Mansion with the support of her two children.

"Why are you wearing this jade pendant! Take it off quickly!" Lu Yin's voice was filled with anger.

He reached out to grab the jade pendant around Ji Yao's neck.

That was my grandmother's jade pendant. It should obviously belong to her. Where did this bitch come from and dare to take possession of her jade pendant?
"This is my lady's jade pendant." Yulian stood in front of Ji Yao.

Lu Yin didn't catch the jade pendant, so he raised his hand to hit Yulian.

Yu Lian is not a soft persimmon. Before she could fight him, he had already dumped her several times in a row.

Ji Yao secretly clicked her tongue twice when she saw Yulian's fierce look.

This girl is not easy to mess with.

"How dare you hit me, you cheap maid? Do you know who I am?" Lu Yin covered his face and stared at Ji Yao fiercely.

She became jealous when she saw Ji Yao's appearance, and when she saw her grandmother's jade pendant on her body, she became even more jealous.

"I don't know who you are. I only know that when you come up, you want to snatch my jade pendant and beat my maid. You deserve to be beaten." Ji Yao sat in the pavilion and ate a grape carelessly.

Lu Yin couldn't refute. Her grandmother was too partial. She had clearly promised that the jade pendant would be given to her as a dowry, but now it was given to someone else. How could she be reconciled? "You must have stolen my grandma's jade pendant, right? Who are you?" Lu Yin asked.

As long as she is charged with stealing, we will see how she can go out to meet people.

"My grandma gave this to me. I didn't steal it, but you came up and wanted to take my jade pendant. Are you planning to steal it openly?" Now Ji Yao finally understood the identity of this person.

I heard that my grandmother gave birth to two sons and two daughters. This woman should be her aunt's biological daughter, right?
I heard that her aunt did not marry well. Her husband died of a heart disease just three years after they got married, leaving only the mother and daughter.

Her mother didn't come to the Duke's Mansion often in these years, but his aunt came often.

Lu Yin stared at Ji Yao angrily, "So what if it was a robbery? This jade pendant should have been mine."

She had been thinking about this jade pendant for a long time. She often came to stay at the Duke's Mansion just to coax her grandmother into giving her this jade pendant.

You don't have to kneel when you meet the emperor with this jade pendant. How much dignity does that mean?

For so many years, she had been trying to get this jade pendant, but her grandmother had no intention of letting go.

"You should be beaten if you rob it! This is what my grandma put on me. This is my thing. Since it is my thing, no one can take it away." Ji Yao looked at her coldly.

Lu Yin met her cold gaze and couldn't help but shake his hands. Then she looked at the woman in front of her.

"Are you the girl who came back from the country?" She heard from her mother early in the morning that her aunt's lost daughter had returned.

Only then did she look at the woman carefully.

Back then, my aunt didn't like this daughter, so her grandmother raised her personally. After losing her, my grandmother cried so hard that her heart broke.

Later, her mother sent her to her grandmother, hoping that she would replace this woman's position in her grandmother's heart.

Over the years, her grandmother was nice to her, but she was never that close to her.

Today she saw her grandmother's most precious jade necklace on her body, and she was almost crazy with jealousy.

"So what?" Ji Yao replied lazily.

Seeing Ji Yao's whole body glowing, Lu Yin became even more jealous of her.

How could a country girl be so beautiful? She didn't look like she grew up in the country.

"Hmph! How dare a country girl argue with me? I'll go find my grandmother to judge." Lu Yin went to Ci'an Hall crying with a pig-headed face.

Ji Yao's eyebrows furrowed. As expected, people in the capital had complicated hearts.

She thought about going back to Jiangnan.

"Miss, this person is so rude." Yu Lian looked dissatisfied.

They had never seen such rude people at home in Jiangnan.

"Don't worry about her, let's go pay respects to grandma and take a look at the excitement."

Ji Yao left in a good mood.

I heard that her mother came to pick her up.

As soon as Ji Yao arrived at the old lady's place, she heard Lu Yin crying and complaining.

"Grandma, you clearly said you wanted to give that jade pendant to me, why did you give it to that bitch!"

Lu Yin screamed, wishing he could lift the roof.

The hall was full of people, and Lu Yin knelt on the ground and accused Ji Yao relentlessly.

Little Zhou looked at her daughter distressedly, "Mother, we were kind enough to come and see my lost niece, but she actually had Yin'er. Mother, you must make the decision for Yin'er!"

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
