The Green Tea Lady was reborn as the God of House Fighting

But when she was going downstairs, she saw the waiter approaching her mysteriously and whispering a reminder to her.

"Madam Ruan...the guest in the box at the end of the second floor invites you to come over for a chat."

The girl then turned her eyes and saw a servant standing outside the door. He noticed her gaze and nodded slightly at her.

As he moved, the token on his waist was revealed, shining slightly in the sunlight today.

There was a word "Xuan" engraved on it. The girl's eyebrows moved slightly, and then she understood.

She walked slowly forward, pushed open the door of the wing and stepped in. She raised her eyes and saw a figure sitting between the table and chairs. When he saw her coming, a slight look of joy appeared in his clear peach blossom eyes.

"Aluan." He stood up and walked forward to greet her, calling out in a soft voice.

The girl couldn't help but pause slightly. This call seemed too affectionate, making her feel a little sad.

"...Xulang." She called out softly in return. Before she finished her words, and before others could see anything, her cheeks were already flushed and slightly hot.

She heard the young man chuckle softly, but he didn't tease her. He extended his hand and led her to sit down.

The two sat opposite each other, and Yin Xu explained in a low voice: "I saw you enter the door of the wing room over there, and thought that you might go out to meet someone, so I waited for a while..."

As he spoke, he coughed softly, and there was a rare hint of embarrassment in his tone.

"...I want to see you."

The girl said "hmm" softly, pretending to be calm, stretched out her fingertips to pick up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup. She took a sip of the warm tea to cover up her suddenly accelerated heartbeat.

This is common sense. After all, there is a rule in this dynasty that newlyweds are not allowed to see each other before the wedding... After that, they will probably be separated for more than a month, so it is not against the rules to see each other now.

"Actually, besides that," the young man said in a serious tone, "I have something else to tell you, so that you won't be completely in the dark when you walk in."

The girl's eyelashes, as long as a palm leaf fan, blinked unconsciously: "What are you talking about?"

Yin Xu patiently explained: "... my family has a large population and complicated relationships. If you don't make preparations in advance, I'm afraid you will be caught off guard."

I see. Yu Luan had also worried about this. In her previous life, the relationship between wives and concubines in the Fushan Palace was already complicated. For a large family like the Xuanguo Palace that has lasted for hundreds of years, there must be quite a few relatives and side branches.

The young man then slowly and methodically began to sort things out with her.

It turns out that there are four rooms in the Duke Xuan's Mansion. The old Duke married the eldest princess, the legitimate daughter of the late Emperor's Empress Yuan, who is now the old Duke Xuan's wife.

Except for the eldest daughter and the fourth daughter who were her biological children, the second and third daughters were born out of wedlock.

The old Duke had fought for the dynasty all his life and was a veteran of three dynasties. He died when the new emperor ascended the throne. The new emperor came in person to offer his condolences and, in recognition of his lifelong contributions, announced that the title of Duke Xuan would be passed down forever.

These words saved the prosperity and wealth of the Duke Xuan's Mansion.

But naturally, this will also give rise to many undercurrents of people wanting to take the title for themselves.

The old Duke's eldest son married the late emperor's twin brother, Prince Ping's eldest daughter, Princess Ruixiang, who is now the wife of the Duke Xuan.

After marrying into the family, Lady Xuanguogong had been busy with household affairs. In addition, she was born weak, and had not been able to give birth to any children in the four or five years since her marriage.

The second wife rushed to give birth to the eldest grandson, and the third wife was not willing to lag behind and rushed to give birth to the second grandson.

In this case, the pressure on Lady Xuan Guogong was naturally great. If she could not give birth to a legitimate son... this huge family business that she had spent so much effort to manage would fall into the hands of others.

Therefore, Lady Xuanguogong handed over power to the second and third wives decisively and stayed at home to recuperate. Finally, more than a year later, the good news came.

When this child was born, he was the third son according to the order of seniority. He was the legitimate son, but not the eldest. However, the wife of Duke Xuan had her own plan. As soon as the boy was born, she brought him into the palace to show him to the fourth aunt, who was the Imperial Concubine Jiajing.

The imperial concubine was naturally very happy to have a blood-related nephew, and she took the child to show the emperor.

The emperor saw that the child was young but very energetic and strong, and he couldn't help feeling happy. So he immediately issued an edict to make the infant Yin Xu the crown prince, who would inherit the title of Duke Xuan in the future.

Even though this decree made the eldest wife's succession clear, the people from the remaining two wives would not get against this younger brother in public, but they kept trying to obstruct him secretly.

But this is a common occurrence in the world. Even the concubines of the Ruan family compete with each other for a few silk hairpins or a word of praise from their father's wife, let alone a huge family business.

Who can watch a piece of fat meat without drooling? But if they want to fight for it, they should do it openly. It is really unacceptable to do bad things to children behind their backs. It is too insidious!

After returning home, the girl sorted out the details of the appearance and temperament of the palace staff that Yin Xu had revealed to her, and memorized them by heart, so as to avoid mistakes on the wedding day when there were too many people and too much noise, and the etiquette was too complicated, and she would be laughed at.

After a few days, the two families decided on the wedding date. Master Ruan wanted to announce his family's prosperity to the dignitaries in the capital, so he specially arranged for the weddings of his two daughters to be held on the same day.

The Duke Xuan's Mansion had no objection, whether the marriage was early or late, the marriage would still be passed on. Princess Fushan would not say anything either, it was just a concubine, whatever was fine with it.

However, when Ruan Yuxi learned about this, she smashed the teacups and utensils in the room to pieces, and her eyes were bloodshot with jealousy and hatred.

"What did you say!" She dug her sharp fingertips deeply into the maid's shoulder and shook her vigorously, trying to deceive herself and getting a negative answer, "Ruan Yuluan is going to marry into the Duke of Xuan's Mansion?! You are talking nonsense, how is it possible? Who is she to be the wife of the prince?!"

Logically, Ruan Yuxi couldn't accept this at all. She was going to be forced to be a concubine to the old man... and her concubine sister, whom she had always looked down upon, could marry the handsome, young and promising Prince Xuan? !

No...no, it's not like that!

The maid felt pain but dared not cry out. She could only bite her lips and whispered, "Madam, calm down. The Fifth Lady is indeed going to marry the Prince of Xuanguo..."

The girl in the red dress in front of her pushed her away with one hand, and sat down weakly in front of the dressing mirror.

She raised her eyes and looked at the beautiful face in the bronze mirror, the phoenix eyes, the cherry lips... She was so beautiful that none of her sisters in the family could compare to her.

Even if it's Ruan Yuluan... in terms of her beautiful appearance, she can't compete with me.

But...why is it that she can always turn danger into safety? Why can she succeed in everything?

What about me? What did I do wrong to end up like this?

It was obvious that at the beginning, Ruan Yuluan was just an orphan who had lost her aunt, and no one in this mansion took her seriously!

She just wanted a good future... Even if she hurt others to achieve her goal, would it be so wrong?

No - she was not wrong, it was just that this mansion had always been unfair to her!

Her heart was beating fast and for a long while, a hint of resentment appeared in her eyes. She glanced at the trembling maid beside her, picked up a heavy jewelry box on the dressing table with her fingertips, and handed it to her.

"Take these jewels and go find Manager Yao in the kitchen. She knows what to do..."

The maid trembled as she put away the box, but still couldn't help but whispered, "Madam... please don't do anything to hurt others anymore, okay?"

Before she finished her words, the girl's face changed, she turned around, stretched out her fingertips and slapped her.

She struck extremely hard, and instantly a clear slap mark appeared on the maid's fair face.

"Is it your turn as a lowly servant to teach me how to do things?" She was upset and shouted angrily, "Get out of here and do the job I gave you!"

The maid had no choice but to cover her face and quickly turned around and walked out the door.
