There is a hall in Yueming Building that is specially used to greet wives and ladies with imperial identities. Lin’s mother took Yuan and Chu Xinyu and the others in, and saw a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting in the hall, with her almost flattering appearance than her master.

When Chu Jiaqi saw that the noble ladies here respected the wife of the Duke of Ying so much, he couldn't help but envy her. She secretly swore that one day in the future, she would have such a situation, so that the entire Marquis' mansion would respect her so much. Her children had noble backgrounds and would do whatever they wanted, without having to look at the faces of others.

Mother Lin smiled and stepped forward and said, "Madam, Mrs. Zhongyi is here."

The wife of Duke Ying was talking to someone, but when she heard Lin's mother's words, everyone turned around. Since Yuan often brought Chu Jiating to banquets in various prefectures in the past two years, naturally some people knew her, but Chu Jiaqi and Chu Xinyu had a very good face.

Yuan smiled and introduced Chu Xinyu to everyone, saying, "She is my stepdaughter Chu Xinyu, ranked fifth, Yu'er, this is the wife of Duke Ying, this is Mrs. Chen, that is Mrs. Zhongwu..."

Yuan introduced it to Chu Xinyu one by one.

Chu Xinyu stepped forward and saluted all the ladies in turn. The rich face of Duke Ying Guo, with a smile on his face, took Chu Xinyu's hand and said, "What a beautiful girl, Mrs. Zhongyi. I have seen many girls from famous families and noble families, but they are not as good as the fifth girl in your family. You are so blessed."

Chu Xinyu's reputation was not very good. Although it was two years later, some people still remembered it. But when he heard the wife of Duke Ying praised her so much, the wife present couldn't help but look up to Chu Xinyu.

Isn't it time to introduce her to her first? Chu Jiaqi felt like he was blocked by something and couldn't laugh. Chu Jiating glanced at her quietly, and when she saw her clenching her fists, an unknown smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Then, Yuan briefly introduced the identities of Chu Jiaqi and Chu Jiating. Chu Jiaqi stood up and bowed forward, smiled slightly, and looked like a peach blossom.

The wife of Duke of Ying nodded faintly, "I am also a good girl."

The winner will be decided immediately.

Chu Jiaqi's heart suddenly failed. She clenched her fists hard. Why wasn't she? How could she be worse than Chu Xinyu?

The Duke of Ying did not care what others thought. She seemed to like Chu Xinyu very much. She pulled her to say some common words, such as how old she is, what books she read, what she likes to do on weekdays, and her tone was very friendly.

Chu Xinyu didn't want to answer truthfully, but she couldn't belittle herself in front of so many noble ladies. After all, she still needed to enter the circle of nobles with a good image in the future, so she replied in a real way.

But her answer did not disappoint the Duke of Ying, but instead praised Yuan's good fortune.

When Chu Jiaqi saw the two of them having a good time talking, she bit her lip angrily. Then she saw the wife of Duke Ying take off the jade bracelet she was wearing and gave it to her as a meeting gift. She was extremely jealous.

When Yuan saw the jade bracelet, his eyes lit up and he felt happy.

Things are done!

This is her secret code with the Duke of Ying. If she is satisfied with Chu Xinyu after meeting her, the Duke of Ying will give Chu Xinyu a jade bracelet, otherwise, she will give you nothing.

Yuan's excited expression did not escape Chu Xinyu's eyes. He lowered his eyes and looked at the bracelet that was forced into his wrist, sneering in his heart. Yuan wanted to sell her like this?

If she hadn't maintained her beautiful image, Chu Xinyu really wanted to throw the jade bracelet back to the wife of Duke Ying in person and beat Yuan hard. But it doesn't matter. Some people don't want her to live a good life and will eventually take action.

She then said, "Madam, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."

As he said that, he took off the bracelet and returned it to the wife of Duke Ying. The ladies around him thought Chu Xinyu was too ungrateful, but Duke Ying thought it was normal for Chu Xinyu to refuse, which means that she is noble in character and will not be tempted by money.

However, some people couldn't see it anymore. Just as Chu Xinyu and the wife of Duke Ying pushed each other, the bracelet that was originally in Chu Xinyu's hand suddenly fell to the ground and broke into three pieces.

"Ah, jade broken, jade broken, it's too unlucky..."

Chu Jiaqi next to him suddenly blurted out, and as if he had noticed that he had said something wrong halfway through his words, he immediately covered his mouth, but everyone understood what she wanted to express.

Yuan's face looked very ugly and shaved Chu Jiaqi hard.

Looking at the broken jade on the ground, a gloomy flashed in the eyes of Duke Ying's wife, but she quickly covered it up and smiled and told Yuan that it was okay. The broken jade meant peace every year.

But Mother Lin beside her blamed Chu Xinyu for not understanding the rules in her heart, and for accepting things from elders, and why are you pretentious? Seeing her standing aside and looking at her a little helpless, she couldn't help but wonder if the wife's choice was wrong.

The good atmosphere was destroyed, and the ladies were indifferent. Without saying a few words, they moved to the theater next door to watch the show.

...

After coming out of Yueming Building, the three Chu Xinyu and his three sisters took their maid to the back garden. The spring scenery of the garden was full of rare flowers and plants, blooming in the garden, colorful and beautiful!

The luxuriously dressed female family gathered together in groups of three or seven. Some were rushing to butterflies beside a flowerbed, some were watching flowers in the garden led by the maid, and some gathered together to chat and talk, which was very lively.

As soon as Chu Jiaqi and Chu Jiating arrived at the back garden, they met several acquaintances. Chu Jiating was about to ask Chu Xinyu to say hello together, but before he could speak, Chu Jiaqi pulled him over.

Chu Xinyu was not familiar with these people, and she didn't want to enter their circle of friends. She stood there and looked around the garden, planning to find a quiet place to sit.

Zhu Bo looked at Chu Jiaqi not far away, and saw her talking to a few noble girls with a roar. She didn't know what she said, which made those people laugh. Thinking of the scene in Yueming Building just now, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her girl.

She pulled Lan Yi aside and said indignantly: "The Fourth Girl is so hateful! She just now hit the girl's elbow, but she pretended to be innocent and said the misunderstandings to others, which made everyone misunderstand that the girl broke the bracelet of Duke Ying's Duke's bracelet, but the Fourth Girl not only did not apologize to the girl, but did not even regret at all."

The bracelet is green and transparent, and it must be of extraordinary value. Although the Duke of Ying is a good lady and does not blame the girl, the girl did not explain, while the noble ladies looked at the girl with red eyes, which was ignorant.

Lan Yi sneered: "Even without eyesight, you can see Chu Jiaqi's idiot's actions. Do you think the wife of Duke Ying did not see it? She just didn't want to embarrass the eldest lady, so she didn't pursue it."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bo frowned worriedly and said, "Will the marriage between that girl and Mr. Jiang San continue?"

Although the girl did not agree to Lan Yi asking someone to investigate Yuan that day, Lan Yi asked Danqing to privately in the mansion to find out that Yuan's purpose of taking the girl back to the mansion. It turned out that she wanted to betroth the girl to the third young master of Duke Ying's mansion, in order to pave the way for the marquis' career.

The sixth girl is one year apart and is almost at the age of marriage. If the young master of the Jiang family is a good match, how could it be the girl's turn?

The girl said there is no free lunch in the world. If someone gives you lunch for no reason, you must use your brain to think about whether the lunch is poisonous? If a person who wants you to die suddenly gives you a bunch of gold, silver and jewelry, you will definitely doubt whether there is any poison in it and whether it is a stolen thing?

Therefore, there must be a reason for them to choose a girl. As for the reason, the girl has ordered Lan Yi to find someone to check it, and I believe there will be a result soon.
