The legitimate daughter is reborn, her life is still with her

Zhou Jiaqing just vaguely asked her not to get involved!

The eldest lady turned to look at Zhou Jiaqing sitting aside. After all, she treated her as her biological daughter. It was somewhat uncomfortable to leave her out of the matter. She frowned and said, "But I can't help but worry about you."

"Don't worry, mother, the princess did not make things difficult for me. I asked the princess to add the second aunt and fourth sister when posting."

"Why is this?" The eldest lady had no idea what Zhou Jiaqing wanted to do.

"The matter with King Qi should be settled!"

"Prince Qi? What does this have to do with the eldest princess?" The eldest lady became more and more confused as she listened.

"Mom, just take a look when the time comes. Mother, remember, no matter what you see when you go to the eldest princess's mansion, don't say a word!"

The eldest lady sighed and said leisurely: "Okay, it's all up to you." After saying that, she took out a wad of silver notes and stuffed them into Zhou Jiaqing's hand.

Zhou Jiaqing accepted it without refusing, and the eldest lady looked better.

Returning to Tao Ranyuan, Qiu Ju counted the banknotes, and when she saw the number on it, she was shocked and said: "The eldest lady is so generous every time she makes a move. I'm afraid not many people in Da'an City can do it!"

Chuntao picked up a banknote with a face value of one thousand taels, which was still a pile!

"Miss, you refused to tell the eldest lady your plan. Is it because you still don't believe the eldest lady in your heart? What you said means that you don't want the eldest lady not to interfere, right? But I see that the eldest lady is sincere to you, I am afraid that the eldest lady will feel uncomfortable after hearing what you said." Chuntao Gang was also in Xinan Court, and she heard the conversation between Zhou Jiaqing and the eldest lady, so she asked.

"My mother is a bright person with an upright temperament, and she can't do anything that involves manipulation." Zhou Jiaqing's eyebrows revealed a layer of sadness, "Besides, I'm not ready to be her daughter yet."

Two days later, the eldest princess's birthday banquet came as scheduled. The eldest princess always only invited members of the royal family and some close ministers and their children to attend.

For this birthday banquet, the Marquis of Jing'an, who had no contact with him, was invited, and everyone knew that the news that Princess Nan'an in the palace was angrily looking for Zhou Jiaqing had already spread throughout the palace.

There is a dispute between children. I wonder if the eldest princess's move is to appease Zhou Jiaqing or to support Princess Nan'an?

Early in the morning, the eldest lady came to Tao Ranyuan to wait for Zhou Jiaqing. For the past two days, the eldest lady only focused on the affairs of the house and no longer quietly inquired about King Qi's affairs.

She thought a lot about what Zhou Jiaqing said that day and figured out that it was best to be a solid backing for Zhou Jiaqing.

Since you don't have that ability at the moment, it's better not to act rashly and leave clues to make others suspicious. In the end, Zhou Jiaqing will have to deal with the aftermath.

The eldest lady was extremely puzzled: "Second brother, is this what you are wearing today? Where did you find these clothes? Do you have no money?"

As soon as the eldest lady entered the room, she saw Zhou Jiaqing, who had changed his clothes, and Xia He was combing his hair. She frowned slightly and asked, "Didn't mother ask Yingxiang to send some clothes and jewelry last night? Don't you look down on them?" The mother asked Yingxiang to go to the clothing store to buy some more now, so she can make it in time."

During these days, Zhou Jiaqing's daily outfits are refreshing. Suddenly, she is wearing a jade-colored light-colored top with gold and a long brocade skirt. If it weren't for the good material, Zhou Jiaqing would be so good-looking that she could look like a maid!

Qiu Ju chuckled: "Madam, the slaves have added several cabinets to the clothes you gave me, and they are almost full. Besides, our young lady likes every piece of clothes you gave me, madam."

"Miss, today I want to show off the beauty of the fourth lady." Chuntao said playfully, blinking her eyes.

The eldest lady raised her face and said seriously: "Nonsense, even if you are wearing a sack, my mother thinks you are prettier than Zhou Jiayun, that's all. The clothes are up to you, and the jewelry must be chosen by mother. Otherwise, when I go out, others will laugh at me. Second brother, do you want to hear those women say that Marquis Jing’an’s step-mother treated his first wife’s daughter harshly?”

When the three maids heard this remark, they all covered their mouths and snickered.

"Okay, just listen to mother." Zhou Jiaqing said with a smile. If she didn't agree, I'm afraid the eldest lady would drag her out of the house to buy clothes.

Xia He opened the jewelry box and handed it to the eldest lady, letting her choose.

The eldest lady saw a hairpin separated in the corner and took it out out of curiosity.

"Hey, when did the second brother buy this hairpin? It's so beautiful! How come my mother has never seen you wearing a hairpin?" The eldest lady said with surprise, and looked at it carefully: "It feels cold and warm to the touch, it must be high-quality jade material, simple and elegant But it’s extremely luxurious, it looks like...this...the entire hairpin is made of jade!"

Chuntao was shocked and said: "Jade Moyu?"

Qiu Ju was also startled: "But one gram of jade worth ten thousand gold?"

"Exactly! Needless to say its value, this is a legendary jade material. It comes from the remote Southern Chu Kingdom. I am afraid that few people in Da'an City have actually seen it." The eldest lady replied.

Zhou Jiaqing turned around to look, and what the eldest lady was holding was a double orchid flower hosta - it was Xu Jingxiao's congratulatory gift to her!

"This is not the brocade box that the young lady brought out from the palace..." Xia He stepped forward to take a look and said in surprise.

Chuntao secretly speculated in her heart: Someone gave the lady such an expensive gift, but compared it to the prince.

The eldest lady also remembered that she saw many brocade boxes in Zhou Jiaqing's hands outside the palace that day, and took a look at the hairpin. The style was simple but had an inexplicable sense of sharpness, which suited Zhou Jiaqing's temperament.

It seems that this person knows Zhou Jiaqing very well!

Seeing that Zhou Jiaqing was lost in thought, the eldest lady did not ask. She raised the corner of her mouth, picked out a hairpin from the jewelry box, and said with a smile: "The emerald jade hairpin is too expensive, and this dress cannot hold it down. I will wear this butterfly tassel inlaid with pearls and silver." Hairpin, the style is more complicated, it goes well with today’s plain clothes.”

Zhou Jiaqing finally came back to his senses and followed the eldest lady's wishes.

Outside the house, Li Yaxuan and Zhou Jiayun had just arrived at the door. Seeing that the person in the big room hadn't arrived yet, they helped Zhou Jiayun get into the carriage first, while she stood waiting at the door alone.

Zi Qing asked in a low voice: "Second Madam, will the First Madam blame the Fourth Miss..."

But I didn't dare to say the word "sensible" at the end.

"Humph," Li Yaxuan frowned and said angrily, "Yun'er's body has not recovered yet, so she can't be blamed!"

Zi Qing swallowed her saliva and didn't dare to continue talking. Now Li Yaxuan didn't even care about facial etiquette.

After a while, a "squeak" was heard, and the door of the mansion was pushed open by the guards.

"Hello, madam, second lady..." Zi Shi opened her mouth and stared at Zhou Jiaqing in surprise.

The girl wears a jade-colored light-colored top with gold embroidery, a long brocade skirt, and a silver hairpin with butterfly tassels and beads on her head inserted diagonally into her hair.

Zi Qing looked back blankly, her face full of incomprehension.
