Chunzhi left through the side door early in the morning while the delivery of food and other things was in a hurry, and no one noticed her at all.

Lu Zhu searched in front of the wardrobe for a long time, and said in frustration, "Miss, there are so many people here today, and I don't even have a new piece of clothing."

Her daughter is a legitimate daughter, but look, she is not treated like a legitimate daughter at all.

Jiang Yuan didn't care at all. Today's topic was not her.

She casually pointed to a light-pink dress in the closet and said, "Let's take that one."

In the past two days, Jiang Yuan has also turned over her clothes. They are all narrow-sleeved. Only servants wear narrow sleeves to make it more convenient for work.

All the young ladies from wealthy families have big sleeves, but she doesn’t.

As far as I can remember, her clothes used to have wide sleeves, but ever since her mother fell ill, her clothes gradually became narrow-sleeved.

But Jiang Yuan didn't care. Clothes were just for covering up, not for being naked. She didn't have so many requirements.

After changing her clothes and casually putting on two pearl hairpins, she walked towards the front yard.

As soon as he reached the front door, he ran into He Xiang, the maidservant beside Jiang Wan. He Xiang squinted at Jiang Yuan, and reluctantly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "How are you, Second Miss?"

Jiang Yuan ignored her and just walked past.

He Xiang hurriedly followed, "Second Miss, there are a lot of people here today. Madam said to arrange for you to sit there." As she spoke, she pointed to a table.

In the corner of the garden, next to the rockery, the table is laid out with fruits and snacks like the other tables.

Jiang Yuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, walked over in the direction of He Xiang's finger and sat down.

Seeing that she was sitting quietly, He Xiang trotted over to report the news.

"She didn't say anything? She just sat down?" Jiang Wan was dressing up and was a little surprised.

Although she didn't take Jiang Yuan seriously, she was aware of her outrageous behavior in the past two days. She was worried all morning, afraid that she might have a mental breakdown again.

He Xiang nodded, "She didn't say anything and just went over to sit down."

Jiang Wan sneered, "Sure enough, you are just pretending, a coward with a strong appearance but a weak heart. Have you arranged everything?"

"The second young lady likes hazelnut pastry the most. Don't worry, young lady. I have prepared everything for you."

The old lady’s sixtieth birthday celebration lasted for three days. Many people came and it was very lively.

Jiang Wan acted like the eldest daughter of a legitimate wife, moving among the crowd like a colorful butterfly.

He chatted with the ladies, joked with people of his age, and occasionally exchanged glances with Qin Yunzheng.

Everyone who came noticed Jiang Yuan in the corner, and the sound of whispering could occasionally be heard from Jiang Yuan.

"That's Lord Jiang's legitimate daughter, right? The second daughter of the Jiang family?"

"Why are you so shabby? You look good, but too thin. You don't look good. Are you not eating enough? Hehehe."

"Oh, how is that possible? But I heard that Lord Jiang's concubine's eldest daughter is now the legitimate eldest daughter. She is no longer the only legitimate daughter. I guess she is so sad that she can't eat or sleep."

"Alas, it's pitiful. Look at her. She doesn't look like a legitimate daughter at all."

Jiang Yuan held his chin with a snack in his hand, and looked coldly at the drama in the yard.

Qin Yunzheng stood up and touched the tea tray held by the little girl. His clothes were stained with tea, so he made an excuse to change his clothes.

Everyone was chatting excitedly and no one paid much attention to his departure. It was not until dinner time that Qin Yunzheng came back with a gloomy face.

night

There was a crackling sound of something breaking in Jiang Wan's courtyard, and the maid's trembling cry, "Miss, I don't know either. The second young lady likes hazelnut pastry the most. She will eat it as long as it is available. I don't know why she didn't eat a single bite this time."

"Why are you crying? Do you know what the prince told me? How many heads do you have, or how many heads do you think I have, to dare to play tricks on the prince?

I tell you, I finally managed to coax the prince, if it still doesn’t work tomorrow, I will beat you to death first.”

The maid knocked her head loudly, "Don't worry, young lady, I went to check today and found that the second young lady didn't eat the hazelnut cake, but she ate a lot of cloud cake.

I think your taste has changed, and you like cloud cakes now. I will prepare it carefully tomorrow."

On the second day, Jiang Yuan still sat alone in the pavilion in the corner, looking at the bustling scene in the distance.

She fell out of favor, and the rumor spread that she was the one abandoned by Lord Jiang.

Rumors are just rumors, and there are still people who don't believe them. Even if she is not liked by Lord Jiang, she is still the legitimate daughter after all.

But when I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that she really had no status. Every noble lady was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had hair full of pearls and jade.

But she was wearing thin clothes made of old material and had no jewelry. She was sitting alone and there was not even a maid to bring her tea.

People in the capital are used to reading people's expressions, and they can understand at a glance that no one wants to offend others for the sake of an abandoned daughter.

Besides, it was obvious that the Prince of Jin was good to Jiang Wan, and who knows, she might be able to enter the palace in the future. No one would rush to talk to her disliked sister.

Jiang Yuan was left alone, so he sat in a corner and continued to watch the "show" in the yard.

It was Lu Zhu who stood behind her, and she was indignant all the time. "The young lady is the legitimate daughter of the Minister's Mansion after all. She has never suffered such injustice before. These people didn't even say hello to the young lady. This is too much."

Jiang Yuan smiled, not angry at Lu Zhu's words, "We will set off for Huangjue Temple the day after tomorrow. In everyone's eyes, I am just the one abandoned by my father. I don't know when I will come back when I go to Huangjue Temple. Why do you want to curry favor with me?"

As she spoke, Jiang Yuan glanced at the cloud cake on the table, which was closest to her, and her peripheral vision caught the pair of eyes staring at her behind the flowers not far away.

"Luzhu, go make me a pot of chrysanthemum tea."

"Eh."

After Luzhu left, Jiang Yuan reached out from the farthest plate, picked up a piece of walnut cake, and started eating it in small bites.

At night, there was another commotion in Jiang Wan's yard, which even alarmed Jiang's father.

I came to the courtyard and asked why he was so angry.

Jiang Wan could only make the excuse that she lost the game of chuiwan today, felt so ashamed and was in a bad mood.

Father Jiang thought it was some big deal, but when he heard it was such a small matter, he coaxed Jiang Wan with a few words.

After Jiang's father left, Jiang Wan grabbed He Xiang's hair, dragged her into the house, threw her to the ground, pointed at her, and said, "What happened today?

The prince is angry, thinking that I can't even handle such a small matter. Do you want to kill me, or are you in cahoots with that little bitch, you traitor? "

It was already the second day. Yesterday, Qin Yunzheng used the excuse that the maid accidentally spilled tea on him and that he wanted to change his clothes.

Today I played chuiwan with some good friends. I deliberately rubbed mud on the corners of my clothes and went to change clothes.

They waited in the arranged room for another whole afternoon, but Jiang Yuan was not seen. However, he was seen by several ladies, who forced smiles and explained to them.

When he was leaving, he saw Jiang Wan and his face turned pale and he wanted to strangle her to death. What a waste.

He Xiang cried and begged, hugging Jiang Wan's ankles, "Miss, my servant is sincere to you, without any selfish motives.

For some reason, the second girl only ate walnut cakes, hazelnut cakes and cloud cakes today and didn't move a muscle.

I have no other choice, and I cannot force the Second Young Lady to eat."

Before He Xiang could finish, Jiang Wan slapped her in the face, causing He Xiang's face to swell up immediately. "Are you stupid? Why don't you drug all her cakes? One plate is a disposal, four plates is also a disposal.

I tell you, tomorrow is the last day of the banquet. If nothing works out, I will peel off your skin first."
