Murong Dan only thought about how difficult her life would be after marrying into the Dong family, but she never considered her aunt's situation...

The third sister was right. This time, the aunt caused the third princess to lose capable personnel and money for her, and most importantly, she lost face.

When has the third princess ever knelt in the ancestral hall?

Murong Yan was also punished. Later, the third princess came out of the ancestral hall and called Murong Yan over. It was obvious that Murong Yan would not have a good ending.

Those two people were of high rank, and the grandmother's ordinary use of "filial piety" could not suppress them.

If it weren't for the grandmother catching them this time, the two of them wouldn't be willing to be punished -

Therefore, the Third Princess and Murong Yan must have resented her aunt and her.

She escaped disaster by getting married, but what about her aunt?

After the storm settles after her marriage, how will the third princess deal with her aunt?

Thinking of the consequences, Murong Dan felt cold all over.

She held Murong Zhu's hand tightly, her teeth chattering.

"Third sister, my aunt..."

"Don't worry, there are still father and grandmother--"

Murong Zhu patted her back gently and comforted her.

"But my grandmother doesn't like my aunt, and my father has no right—"

Murong Dan's tears fell again. She didn't know that her...mother had done so much for her.

She is so unfilial...

Too stupid, too slow, too weak...

My mother must have been frightened many times because of her since she was a child...

"younger sister."

Murong Zhu wiped her tears and spoke in a serious tone in a low voice.

"Father is still the master of the mansion, and that woman's husband - everything depends on whether Father is willing or not.

“And my grandmother likes younger generations who are useful to the family.

"You must know that a son is honored by his mother, but a mother is also honored by her son."

Murong Dan looked at her third sister's determined, hopeful, and somewhat burning eyes.

Suddenly, she felt a surge of courage and strength from deep within her heart.

At this moment, Murong Dan thought a lot.

She felt that the things she used to care about or worry about, such as beautiful clothes, jewelry, compliments from servants, praise from others, and other people's opinions...

It all becomes distant, vague, childish, and irrelevant.

The most important thing now is that she survives first and lives well.

If her husband is not ambitious, she will give birth to a child who is ambitious.

As long as she can gain a foothold in the Dong family, her aunt will be safe in the Murong family.

If she could make a name for herself in the Dong family, her aunt could enjoy her old age in the Murong family.

Murong Dan made up her mind: she was protected by her mother in the past, and in the future she would protect her mother.

She also has the ability to protect her mother!

"Thank you, Third Sister..."

Murong Dan thanked her again and again, feeling that her third sister was truly her benefactor.

After her third sister left, she thought for a long time and asked her servants to invite Murong Wenhan.

With a face as red as a crying kitten, she laid her head on her father's knees just like she did when she was a child.

Recalling every little detail of the past, she tells of her and her aunt's respect, love, and dependence on her father.

Murong Wenhan was a very soft-hearted man. In the past, many children had been abandoned by the third princess, and he truly loved the few children who survived.

So, after listening to this, Murong Wenhan also cried and promised to visit Aunt Yao often in the future...

Before Murong Wenhan left, he left behind his only three thousand taels of private money...

Murong Dan thought that her mother had given her all her personal money, so she hid the banknotes in her mother's dressing table.

After washing and dressing, she went to see her grandmother again.

A quarter of an hour later, Murong Dan came out of the old lady's room with a smile on her face.

Only then did Murong Dan realize that, in fact, she could accomplish many things as long as she made up her mind.

At least she had taken the first step.

With the care of her grandmother and father, at least for the next one or two years, those two people will not let the third princess do anything to her mother.

From now on, it all depends on her achievements in the Dong Mansion.

*

The wedding at the Dong Mansion was quite lively.

Perhaps it was because many powerful people witnessed the process of Dong Bing and Murong Dan's "engagement" with their own eyes.

Or perhaps people from the Princess's Mansion and Prince Qi's Mansion were preparing to attend, so other officials and their families came to show their support.

Because the wedding banquet started in the evening, the guests only arrived at Dong’s house in the afternoon.

The Dong family’s house is not very big, but it is quite exquisite.

It has been extremely hot in Kyoto for a long time now. I heard that the people's vegetable fields are almost drying up, and the rivers in many places outside have turned into streams...

But the water level in the lotus pond in the Dong family's back garden did not drop at all, and the lotus flowers were blooming beautifully.

There is a water pavilion in the lotus pond, which is filled with iced drinks, tea, fruits and snacks.

A group of beautifully dressed young ladies were chatting in the pavilion or leaning on the railings to admire the flowers.

From a distance, it looked as if the lotus flowers in the pond had transformed and held a fairy tea party...

The people from the Sheng family arrived at the Dong family earlier.

Sheng Minmin took Huang Yaning, Huang Xianjing and Sheng Mingzhu to the women's area, and let the three of them move freely after arriving there.

Huang Yaning and Huang Xianjing both dislike crowded places.

So they did not go to the waterside pavilion to join in the fun, but instead took a walk on the gravel road beside the lotus pond. The road was shaded by green trees and was quite cool.

And Sheng Mingzhu also secretly moved away from the crowd...

These days, Sheng Mingzhu's life has become more difficult than ever before.

At first, many people outside laughed at the Feng family for being poor, humble, and not presentable.

The people at that time did not dare to mention her often...

Ever since the news spread that the other two daughters of the Feng family were also slaves in the Sheng family—

Everyone's impression of her has completely changed.

Every time those low-class people made fun of the Feng family, they would mention her.

Her last name wasn't Feng, and she had never lived in the Feng family for a single day.

Why tie her together with the Feng family?

Why don’t they tie that little bitch up with the Feng family?

This is such a great humiliation for Sheng Mingzhu!

When Sheng Mingzhu thought about how people outside would mock her, she lost her appetite, couldn't sleep at night, and her hair fell out in clumps...

In a short period of time, he became so haggard that even his senior brothers rarely came to visit him.

She realized belatedly that her appearance must have frightened her senior brother...

After realizing this, Sheng Mingzhu felt bitter, sour and bitter in her heart. She thought her senior brother really liked and loved her...

But it turns out that Senior Brother only cares about her appearance...

Is there anyone in this world who truly treats her?

In a trance, Sheng Mingzhu recalled her childhood life. Before she was six years old, she lived like a princess.

She is the apple of her parents' eyes and the treasure of her brothers. She has everything she wants...

Everyone praised her as a fairy...

How did such good days change beyond recognition step by step?

With the recent incident of Gelsemium elegans, everyone thought that she wanted to murder Dongkui, and that was why she killed Xiaoye and Jixue.

Sheng Mingzhu felt that she was so wronged. She really did nothing this time.

It’s all the fault of that little bitch from Haitangyuan!

And there’s that old bitch in Mudan Courtyard!

A pair of bitch mother and daughter!

Those two must be her bad luck. Everything goes wrong because of them...

Sheng Mingzhu is like this, she never looks for the reasons in herself.
