After the emperor's banquet was announced, the second wife couldn't sit still and walked around the garden, thinking hard about how to make Xie Jingyi stand out from the crowd and show her uniqueness.

But she thought hard for a long time and couldn't come up with any good ideas.

In terms of appearance, Xie Jingyi cannot compare with the beautiful Xie Jingyan. Even the fifth lady Xie Jingya cannot be compared with Xie Jingyi. In terms of talents, her daughter’s embroidery skills are not as good as Xie Jingting’s double-sided embroidery, and even Xie Jingyan’s embroidery skills are also different.

Some.

After thinking about it, there is nothing about Xie Jingyi that compares to others in terms of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and appearance.

In terms of respect, Xie Jingyi can't even surpass Xie Jingyan now. Regardless of whether she is an orthodox daughter or not, she will always be Xie Anbang's daughter. The status of the second master and Xie Anbang are incomparable.

Thinking of this, the second wife's heart became colder and colder, because she felt more and more that the status of the second bedroom was almost non-existent in this mansion. If she wanted to find a good marriage for Xie Jingyi in the future, she would have to rely on the honor of the second bedroom.

.

When she was thinking hard, she suddenly saw two shadows flashing next to her, still saying something. Out of instinct, the second wife ducked behind a big tree nearby, which could block her sight.

What the two women were talking about was the suffering that Xie Jingya and Tang Yaru suffered in the past two days.

"If you ask me, Mrs. Hui is not that lucky. She thought that going to Yunshan would win the favor of the fifth lady, but who knew she would risk her life by going to Yunshan?" The old woman, wearing navy blue clothes and pants, looked at her.

Her face seemed to be that of a nun from the Su family.

"Yes, this is just fate. Madam Hui doesn't have that kind of luck." The old lady who said this must also be a second-class person, and she was Grandma Dai next to Su.

"When it comes to blessing, I really have to say that Fifth Miss is a lucky person. After such a big disaster happened, she just met a noble person to help her. She didn't get hurt at all and returned home safely."

As she said that, the woman in navy blue clothes looked around, and when she saw no one she dared to speak, her expression was still secretive.

"If the fifth young lady is gone, then the fifth young lady's wonderful marriage will be at the expense of other young ladies in the house!" The old lady said to Grandma Dai.

"Ah..." Grandma Dai was startled and said with some doubts, "Mrs. Ping, what do you mean? What do you mean if Miss Fifth is gone, the marriage will be fine for someone else?"

"You are said to be a non-plagiar, and you really are." Mrs. Ping said very proudly, "This marriage that the emperor has indicated cannot be returned or exchanged. There is only one situation in which it can be exchanged."

Aunt Dai suddenly realized from her eyes, "You mean, if the fifth lady disappears that day, then the marriage will fall on the other ladies in the house."

"That's for sure!" Mrs. Ping said confidently, "In your opinion, if the fifth young lady is gone, which young lady will have the best chance?"

Then Grandma Dai thought about it seriously and then said: "Logically speaking, the young lady in the eldest room should be chosen first, which must be the third young lady and the fourth young lady. However, the fourth young lady is a concubine, so the third young lady must have the greatest hope."

"

Mrs. Ping gently pulled Nanny Dai, and took a step closer, "Your analysis is correct, but have you ever thought that the third lady looks like a fairy, and she might fly up a branch and turn into a phoenix in the future.

"

When Mrs. Ping said this, Aunt Dai suddenly realized, "It's really possible. A few days ago, I heard that this old man intends to train the third young lady. It seems that he really has other plans."

"So, such a good marriage can only fall on Miss Fourth."

"There is also the seventh lady. The seventh lady is also a young lady from the Xie Mansion. She is a direct descendant, so she is better than the fourth lady!" Nanny Dai said casually.

Seeing that Grandma Dai was becoming so serious, Mrs. Ping patted her shoulder lightly and said, "You bastard, I'm just kidding. You should be more serious, but you have to be careful about what we say. If

If you get into trouble, you will suffer the consequences."

Grandma Dai hurriedly slapped her forehead twice, and then cursed: "It's not like you, a woman seeking death, turned me into that ditch, so much so that I almost thought it was true.

"

"So, this fifth lady is really as lucky as the Taoist said. You see, there is nothing wrong with this good thing. Although she has suffered some minor grievances, the marriage in the Duke's Mansion is iron-clad.

No one can take it away!"

"That's right, we should be more attentive to Miss Fifth when we see her in the future!" Mrs. Ping said as she pulled Grandma Dai over there.

Seeing the two people walking away, the second wife walked out from behind the big tree, but her mind kept thinking about what the two women said just now.

She couldn't deny that although they said it unintentionally, it was all true. The emperor was referring to the marriage contract. If one party dies for some reason, then the clan will choose a more suitable person to continue the marriage.

Ningguo Gongfu, this is really a noble relationship. If this marriage really falls on the seventh lady... Not only will the seventh lady benefit, the entire second wife will become important in an instant. This Zhao Shizi and himself

We have always had a good relationship with Xie Ruiran, our son, and he is related by marriage to Duke Ningguo. Are we still worried that Xie Ruiran will not be stable in the officialdom in the future?

The second wife could no longer control her thoughts at this time and wanted to stop herself from having those evil thoughts, but the more she tried to stop her, the more she thought about it. Unknowingly, cold sweat broke out on her body, which showed that she was concerned about this matter.

She was so caring and nervous. When she returned to her yard and sat on the chair, she could feel her legs still shaking.

The second wife is not a soft-hearted person, and it is not that there are no maids and wives who have died in her hands, but those people are worthless in her opinion, and they will die if they die. But if it is Xie Jingya who dies, then

The meaning is completely different. After all, Xie Jingya is not only the fifth lady of the Xie Mansion, but also the only granddaughter of Prime Minister Wang. This is no joke. If something goes wrong, she may be the unlucky one.

But the temptation is so great before. I have never thought about it before, but now the more I think about it, the more it feels like it is real...

The things right in front of you can be seen and touched, but it is such a heart-breaking thing to not be able to eat them!

That night, the second wife turned everything upside down. She didn't sleep for most of the night, and even if she fell asleep, she was very light. She would wake up and fall asleep, and she would toss and turn until dawn. This matter was hidden in her heart and she couldn't digest it.

On the second day, the dark circles under her eye sockets were so heavy that she asked the maid to put ice on them for a long time before they faded away, and then covered them with a thick layer of foundation.

Xie Jingyi ran to her yard with joy, calling sweetly: "Mother...Mother..."

When she saw her mother, she was surprised and said: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? Is it because you didn't sleep at night?"

The second wife felt a little better when she saw her daughter's pretty face.

"I didn't go to say hello to my grandmother, but I came to my place first." Seeing her unconcealable joy, the second wife knew what was going on in her daughter's mind.

"Oh, my daughter wants to go with her mother to pay her respects to her grandmother!" She was used to acting coquettishly.

In this Xie Mansion, if we say that the most heartless young lady is, it is really Xie Jingyi.

"Then let's go!" The second wife took her daughter's hand and walked towards Mrs. Xie's yard.

Xie Jingyi struggled for a while and said to the second wife: "Mother, do you think grandma will take me to the banquet in the palace?"

"Do you think you can go to that banquet if you want to? If Miss Tang hadn't been in our house, how could she have enjoyed such glory?" At this moment, the second wife suddenly didn't want her daughter to go to that place, especially when she saw the look in her eyes.

You must know that all the ladies and ladies who go there are of high status, and Xie Jingyi also has an unruly temper. If there is a conflict or something, it will not be a trivial matter.

"Will the fifth sister and the third sister go?" Xie Jingyi raised her head and asked in a low voice.

If they both go, but she cannot go, she will definitely not comply.

"Of course your fifth sister can go. Even if there is no Miss Tang, it is feasible for your fifth sister to attend the banquet in the palace, because your fifth sister's grandmother is a first-grade lady, so you can't compare with your fifth sister.

"She doesn't know Xie Jingyi's desire to compare.

After hearing this, Xie Jingyi felt a little disappointed. She also knew that Xie Jingya had always been more noble than them.

"Will the third sister go? She was just a concubine before." Xie Jingyi replied while holding her tongue.

When the second wife saw her daughter saying this, she might have become accustomed to it. If Su heard it, she might secretly create some obstacles.

She hurriedly warned her daughter: "Jingyi, you are not allowed to say that your third sister is a concubine in the future. You must know that her mother is the eldest wife Su, and she is a legitimate child like you."

Xie Jingyi felt uncomfortable after hearing the second wife's warning.

"Not all phoenixes are necessarily phoenixes flying on the branches, there are also crows!"

Xie Jingyi has always been unforgiving in front of Xie Jingyan.

The second wife sighed sadly. If the second wife really had to work under Su's hands in the future, how would she live her life?

Looking at Chang Mian's road, the second wife suddenly became a little confused. Working under Su's hands was a day she never wanted to see.

If you don't want to please the Su family, there are only two possibilities. One is that Xie Jingyi marries into a high family, and the other is that Xie Ruiran wins the first prize.

Her son was excellent, but he was not sure that he would be the number one scholar.

In contrast, it would be best if Xie Jingyi married into a high-ranking family and her husband's family could support Xie Ruiran. She looked at the road leading to Mrs. Xie, her eyes became blurred, and Xie Jingyi pushed her several times before returning.

Come to God.

"Mother, you have to intercede with my grandmother for me at the banquet that day. My daughter really wants to see it!" Xie Jingyi was only concerned about whether she could go to the royal banquet.

The second wife did not respond to her words, but just smiled and took her hand into Mrs. Xie's yard.
