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

The third item is a dagger, which is light blue in color and has a purple gem inlaid on the handle. It is elegant and noble. At first glance, it is just an object played by women in the boudoir.

But judging from Xu Jingxiao's temperament, he would not give a flashy object.

Zhou Jiaqing pulled out the dagger with a "whoosh". The tip of the knife was triangular, and the blade had a silvery white luster and was extremely sharp.

Zhou Jiaqing held it in his hand and couldn't put it down, which made Dongmei worried, fearing that she might accidentally scratch the young lady.

The fourth item was a simple white jade comb. Apart from being expensive, there was nothing special about it. Zhou Jiaqing couldn't figure out what it meant.

Perhaps only Zhou Jiaqing was happy with the thank you gift given this time. All the servants in the Duke's Mansion also secretly complained about why their prince gave such a gift. Which girl would be happy to receive it? It seems that the Duke's Mansion will spend this year in a deserted state again.

The next day, at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

Li Yaxuan had already prepared three carriages. Zhou Jiaqing still had one carriage alone, one for her and Zhou Jiayun, and the rest belonged to the two concubines and the cousin.

The carriage prepared for Zhou Jiaqing was the most spacious and exquisite. Li Yaxuan always did a good job in these things. She never treated the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jing'an badly, and she even gained a good reputation as a virtuous person in Da'an City.

With his own efforts, he broke all the suspicions of others about the second wife of the Hou Mansion and took care of the house. He managed the Hou Mansion so well and gave preferential treatment to his eldest brother's daughter. It didn't matter whether the two brothers were separated from each other, and the second master's career was The reputation on the Internet has also become better involuntarily.

"Qing'er is here."

Li Yaxuan was at the gate of the Marquis Mansion. After arranging the carriage, she was explaining something to the servants. When she heard the footsteps and turned around, she saw Zhou Jiaqing and couldn't help being surprised.

Li Yaxuan had watched Zhou Jiaqing grow up, not to mention that Zhou Jiaqing had always trusted and relied on her in the past few years. It could be said that they were as close as mother and son, but when they met today, she felt so strange to her.

Zhou Jiaqing has a calm temperament. She is wearing an azure-colored satin dress with silver threads. She looks particularly cool and noble. Her hair is combed into an exquisite bun with hanging clouds. She has a pretty face and dark almond eyes. He is approaching her step by step, all for no reason. There's a bit of a chilling air that makes people unable to look at it!

Li Yaxuan almost didn't squeeze the Xiupa in her hand and stood there stupidly.

Until Zhou Jiayun gently shook Li Yaxuan's arm and said with a smile: "Hello, second sister."

A greeting instantly woke up everyone who was stunned.

Zhou Jiaqing allowed himself to be punished twice in a row, and he was so outstanding today that he compared Zhou Jiayun and Qin Xingyue, who always loved to dress up.

Zhou Jiahua had a plan in mind for a moment, swallowed the sarcastic words that were on his lips, turned around and pretended to be worried, and said hypocritically: "The second sister is so young, but she wears this color, she is really old-fashioned. I remember the fourth sister. There is a newly made bright yellow moiré skirt, which is exactly the color we wear at our age, and it looks playful and lively when worn."

"Listen to what Third Sister said, it's true. Second Sister, your skin is so beautiful, you will definitely look good in that bright yellow dress." Qin Xingyue said kindly.

Zhou Jiayun kept looking at Zhou Jiaqing, and saw that she no longer wore a flat bun, and actually wore the azure dress in a noble and elegant way, she also agreed: "Yes, second sister, don't dress so plainly, second sister is My legitimate daughter, the clothes she wears represent the face of our Hou family, so she must look her best. Mother, let Zi Shi take the second sister to change clothes."

Chuntao lowered her head and curled her lips. She knew that the young lady looked so beautiful in this sapphire dress, but she was telling lies with her eyes open. She was obviously uneasy about her good intentions. She knew that the bright yellow dress was sent by a tailor shop. Although it was brand new, But the Fourth Miss doesn't want it. It's a tacky color and the workmanship is average, so she's about to throw it away.

"Second Miss, I will take you to change clothes right now." Zi Shi quickly walked to Zhou Jiaqing and said.

Chuntao was about to stop Zi Shi when she heard Zhou Jiaqing say softly: "It's too troublesome to change back and forth. Today is the exam. The ranking is important, and the clothes are second."

Zhou Jiaqing looked at the passers-by, raised the corners of his mouth, and continued lightly: "Second Aunt, do you think Qing'er is right?"

The people passing by the gate of the Hou Mansion naturally heard these words and couldn't help but cast curious glances. They could see whether Zhou Jiaqing was dressed well or not.

Li Yaxuan glanced around and gritted her teeth. Zhou Jiaqing dressed so well today and said these words at the door. If she had to change her clothes because she said she didn't look good, then in the eyes of outsiders, what was her intention?

Zhou Jiaqing smiled slightly and continued: "Second Aunt, if nothing happens, Qing'er will get on the carriage first." She saluted Li Yaxuan and got on her carriage.

Li Yaxuan had hypocritical kindness on her face again and said with a smile: "Qing'er is right, today's exam is the most important. Changing clothes takes too much time. It's getting late now, it's time to set off."

Zhou Jiahua was still a little unconvinced, but he did not dare to refute his mother's order, and everyone got on the carriage one after another.

This year's exams at Pinghu Academy were different from the past. A test to test the students turned into a competition among students. The bet between Wang Chuchu and Zhou Jiaqing attracted everyone to the academy to watch.

"Miss, let's take a rest. I didn't sleep well last night, and I got up so early today." Xia He glanced at Zhou Jiaqing with some worry, and sighed in his heart. After a while, if Miss loses to Wang Chuchu, they will seize the opportunity to punish them. She was so embarrassed that she actually hoped that the young lady would pretend to be asleep and sleep through the whole day.

Zhou Jiaqing knew what Xia He was thinking and patted the back of her hand: "Okay, I'll take a rest first. You don't have to worry about the exam."

After saying this, Zhou Jiaqing closed his eyes. Xie Yuanfu will also be present today. People who look cowardly and harmless are the most ruthless and unjust.

Zhou Jiaqing's fingertips couldn't help but tremble at the thought of meeting his former enemy soon, wishing he could strangle him immediately.

She now has dozens of ways to kill Xie Yuanfu without being suspected by others.

But she must resist the urge to kill him and cook him. Not only will she not help him in this life, she will also slowly torture him and watch him lose everything little by little.

Many students have arrived at Pinghu Academy now.

Although the exam is not divided into men and women, the seats sitting down to watch are still divided into men's seats and women's seats on the left and right.

The men at the men's table were busy getting to know each other and frequently walked between the seats. The women were all sitting together in groups of familiar friends.

Feng Mengyu picked up a piece of pastry on the small table, looked around and said, "I don't think Zhou Jiaqing dares to come to the exam today."

"This time has not come yet, I must be hiding somewhere and dare not show up." The woman next to her looked like she was trying to please Wang Chuchu, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect so many people to come today. She would make a fool of herself if she came. , I don’t know how to do any homework on weekdays, and you still dream of surpassing my sister in just ten days. It’s really a fool’s errand.”
