The Marquis's Mansion is a cannibalistic hell, the daughter of the emperor is being bloodbathed

Early the next morning, Su Qingwan helped Jiang to meet the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion, Mrs. Kang.

Jiang had met this stepmother-in-law before, but they had spent less than a month together, so she couldn't say she knew her well. Moreover, during this time, she had been criticized by her many times. Therefore, before they even reached Rong'an Hall, Jiang was already so nervous that her palms were sweating.

Su Qingwan noticed her mother's nervous look and smiled gently at her: "Mother, Grandma Kang is a kind person, don't be nervous."

Jiang looked at her daughter's innocent look and thought of what she did yesterday, and couldn't help but sigh.

"When you meet Grandma Kang later, you must not act recklessly again."

"Yes, mother, don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Su Qingwan agreed and helped her walk towards Rong'an Hall.

Her mother came from a merchant family, but because she was the youngest girl, she was spoiled by the elders and brothers and sisters in the family. After she married her father, her father also took good care of her. As a result, her mother developed a weak character, but was obedient.

For example, they followed Su Qingwan's arrangements all the way from Mo'nan to the capital, and were even willing to accompany their daughter in the lowest-class carriage. And last night, when they were the only family left, Su Qingwan explained to her mother and two brothers why she didn't show off her wealth.

Su Qingwan didn't tell them about the people in the Marquis' Mansion who were after their money, she just said that she was doing this for her father's good. Her father was ordered by Emperor Wen Jin to inspect the prefecture, and it would take about half a year before he could return to Beijing, so it was better for his family to keep a low profile.

Jiang didn't understand the affairs of the officialdom, but she remembered that her father and brothers had told her before she returned to the capital that she should listen to Qingwan in everything after arriving there, so she decided not to think about it any more.

Su Yuewen exchanged a glance with Su Qingwan. He had a hunch that the people in the Marquis' Mansion had some plans for them.

Although the two aunts had concealed their expressions yesterday, Su Yuewen still discovered it. What's more, Su Yunrou gave them cheap clothes and jewelry in front of them. The two aunts did not stop her. They probably wanted to test their third room. They didn't expect their sister to be so straightforward and make them lose face.

As for Su Yuewu, there was no need to say more. His sister's arrangement had its reasons, so he just listened.

The whole family chose to listen to Su Qingwan's arrangements in silence, so when they came to see their elders today, they just changed into slightly more decent clothes than when they came yesterday.

Several people went to see the old marquis first. The old marquis only nodded to the third daughter-in-law, and asked her and Su Qingwan to go see the old lady, while he stayed with Su Yuewen and his brother to question them.

Led by the maid, Su Qingwan and Jiang entered the courtyard of Rong'an Hall. When they passed the small garden in front, they saw a peony half a person's height.

This peony is a rare treasure, named 'Er Qiao'. When it blooms, it will show two different colors of petals on the same flower. It is very gorgeous and beautiful. It was given to the Chengping Marquis Mansion by my mother eight years ago.

In the previous life, after seeing this peony, I proudly told everyone in the mansion about its origin and disclosed all the money I spent on it. My original intention was to let my step-grandmother know that my mother was filial to her, but the result was only to make these evil spirits more greedy. It can be seen that I was also stupid in my previous life.

If she hadn't experienced ups and downs, she wouldn't be what she is now. Looking at this peony now, she is no longer the ignorant Su Qingwan in her previous life.

When the maid who led the way arrived at the main hall, she said loudly, "Old Madam, the Third Madam and the Fourth Miss are here to pay their respects to you."

The maid in the main hall immediately drew the curtain and invited them in. However, when she saw the clothes worn by Jiang's mother and daughter, she immediately froze in her tracks. However, she was a servant of the Marquis' wife, so after a moment's pause, she immediately said, "Third Madam, Fourth Miss, please come in."

"Mom, let's go in."

Jiang nodded. Even though she felt uneasy, she couldn't avoid seeing the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion.

The mother and daughter walked into the main hall, walked around the carved screen, and the first person they saw was the old lady of the Chengping Marquis's Mansion, Mrs. Kang.

The old lady was wearing a snow-green brocade shirt with a longevity pattern on it. Her hair was half white and combed neatly. She wore a emerald green jadeite and gold filigree headpiece, and emerald green jadeite earrings on her ear tips. She also wore a lot of fine items on her wrists and fingers.

Before they entered the room, the eldest aunt, the second aunt, and several pretty young girls were chatting with the old lady. It was obvious that they were having a very happy chat because the smile on the old lady's face had not yet faded.

"The third daughter-in-law pays her respects to mother." Jiang bowed.

Su Qingwan also did the same: "Qingwan pays respects to Grandmother Kang."

Old Madam Kang looked at the way the mother and daughter were dressed and frowned slightly.

Su Zhiru was not born from her belly, and he had never been on the same page with her stepmother. After getting married, she kept Jiang and her sons by her side under the pretext of being sent away.

As the step-grandmother, she didn't mind this. After all, they had received a lot of money as tributes to the Marquis' Mansion. It was just that Jiang, the daughter of a merchant, was becoming less and less presentable.

Seeing that Madam Kang did not ask her and her mother to stand up, Su Qingwan stood up on her own and pulled her mother up as well. Jiang was in a dilemma, and Su Qingwan gave her a comforting smile.

"As expected, people from small places have no manners!"

A sneer came from Su Qingwan's right side, and she looked over.

She knew this person, Su Yuning, the third daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, was just the illegitimate daughter of the eldest wife. Her biological mother was gone, and now she depended on her aunt for a living, so she flattered Su Yunrou in everything.

In her previous life, she had cheated many people out of her, and what she often said was "Fourth sister is so kind to me". But it was this bastard whom she treated with such sincerity who cheated her out, causing her to be branded as having an affair.

In this life, she was the first to jump out. It turned out that the saying of respecting the clothes first and then the person made sense everywhere.

The eldest aunt Liu and the second aunt Kang did not say a word, and neither did the other masters. The old lady even frowned, as if she thought Su Yuning's reprimand was correct.

Su Yunrou sat beside Liu, lowering her eyebrows and slightly curved her lips. She had completely grown disgusted with the people in the upper third room. When she returned home yesterday, Nanny Zhou came over and took away her peony hairpin and pomegranate bracelet. Those were new jewellery she had just got this month, and she was really treasuring them!

It’s all Su Qingwan’s fault, that little bitch from Mo Nan. She just entered the Marquis’ Mansion and she dared to snatch things from me. Now she is being humiliated in public. She really deserves it!

None of the other maids and servants said anything. They all looked at Jiang mother and daughter as if they were watching a fun event.

The old lady hasn't said anything yet. It seems that the Third Madam and the Fourth Miss are no longer favored by her. The people from the Third House will have a hard time in the Marquis' Mansion in the future!
