On the afternoon of the second day after returning home, the girl had just woken up from her nap when she saw Mother Lin, who was beside Lady Xuan Guogong, coming towards her. She bowed to her with a forced smile on her face.

"Madam, please ask the third lady to come over. She has something to ask you."

The girl responded, and while changing her clothes and dressing, she had already seen through the gap in the window that Yinzhu was no longer at the door. She understood that it was probably because of this matter, so she glanced at the maid, who nodded slightly in understanding.

The girl walked slowly into the flower hall, lifted her skirt with her fingertips, bowed slowly, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Luan Niang pays respects to mother-in-law."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a faint "get up" from above, and she sat down.

Lady Xuanguogong seemed to be worried about something. She frowned and asked directly, "Have you given Yinzhu her position? How come such a small matter has caused such a stir in the mansion..."

The girl told the truth: "My wife asked the prince, he doesn't like the silver bead, let alone give her a position. As for her making a fuss... she did it willingly. It's her own business if people laugh at her."

"You don't even care about it!" Lady Xuanguo slammed her hand on the table. She couldn't help but cough violently because she was angry. "Outside... cough cough, people say that our house is full of smoke and dust, and the wives and concubines are fighting each other... This reputation is not good!"

The girl, who had been sitting quietly, stood up slowly upon hearing this. She took a few steps forward, knelt on her knees beside the woman, and kowtowed three times in a proper manner.

Lady Xuanguo had a bad feeling in her heart: "What are you doing..."

Before he could finish his words, the girl looked up. Her oval face was full of tears. Her complexion became even paler and she spoke in a loud and sorrowful voice.

"Luan Niang didn't know what she had done wrong... She asked her mother-in-law to give her husband a concubine on the second day after the wedding! Was she afraid that I wouldn't be able to have children?" She simply pretended to be desperate, her voice mournful and desperate, "There's no need to rush it!"

"If mother-in-law really doesn't like Luan Niang, just tell her directly. Write a divorce letter and send me to the temple to practice. Wouldn't it be less troublesome than hanging around under your nose? I'll go, and you can pick a noble lady from a high-class family to be Xu Lang's second wife!"

As the saying goes, "The bad ones are afraid of the cruel ones, and the cruel ones are afraid of the crazy ones." She had to make some noise so that she could gain a foothold in this huge mansion.

Otherwise, even if the two sisters-in-law are so vicious... they will cause trouble today and tomorrow, and there will be no peace!

As he said this, he began to take off the golden hairpin from his bun, letting his smooth black hair fall loose, and called out, "Bring me the scissors!"

The maid who was trimming branches by the window was holding a pair of scissors in her hand. She stood there in an awkward position, frightened for a moment and dared not move forward.

The girl was about to reach out to snatch the scissors from her hand, but her maids Qiu Xiu and Dong Yu stepped forward to stop her.

Lady Xuanguogong could hardly have expected that she would be so stubborn. When she said she wanted to practice Buddhism with her hair uncut, she was in a hurry to cut her hair.

She was extremely anxious at the moment. Forcing the bride to become a nun just five or six days after the wedding would really bring shame to the entire Duke Xuan's Mansion!

The anger with which she had originally called the other party over to question him was largely extinguished by her action.

The girl was quick-witted and knew that she should not lie in such matters, so she simply cut off a strand of her hair with a pair of scissors. The woman hurriedly tried to stop her, saying, "Stop it!"

Then the girl seemed to have no strength left, and was slowly sat down on the chair with the help of her maid, with two tear marks still on her cheeks.

When Lady Xuan spoke again, she was naturally less aggressive than before.

Things have come to this point. If she doesn't appease him properly, her only legitimate son will say that he wants to marry the woman who comes into the family... and then he will probably not let it go.

She was also out of her mind. She listened to the instigation of Yang and Chen and insisted on establishing some "rules for a bride". Why?

It would be terrible if my son became alienated from me.

"…Since Yinzhu is not a docile and obedient girl, and you are a new bride, it is not appropriate for you to chase her away," the lady said in a gentle voice, "I will make the decision to send her to work in the outer courtyard. There is no need to get angry over such a maid."

While the two were talking, Mother Lin happened to come in with a cup of tea. After hearing what they said, she paused and said in a low voice: "Madam..."

Lady Xuanguogong couldn't stand her instigation any longer. She frowned and scolded in a low voice, "I thought you were an old servant in the mansion, but I didn't expect you to be such a fool! Your daughter is so arrogant and domineering that she wants to bully the mistress... It's better to get rid of her!"

Seeing that Mother Lin looked unhappy, the young girl's eyes flickered as she reminded her, "I think she is very proud. If she is sent to the outer courtyard to work and cannot see the master and son of this mansion, I am afraid she will not be willing in her heart..."

"Why not send her to my eldest brother's courtyard," Yu Luan said lightly, "to learn how to serve my second sister-in-law... If she has a child in the future, she will be my concubine. Isn't it better than suffering in the outer courtyard!"

Mother Lin immediately looked towards her, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

The girl smiled and said, "Mother Lin, why do you have to look at me like that? How did I offend you? Please tell me directly."

Mother Lin quickly restrained her expression and explained in a low voice: "How dare this old slave..."

"That's a good idea." Lady Xuanguogong thought so too. They would instigate and put someone in their son's room. Such a troublesome maid could be left with the second room and let them do whatever they wanted.

She ordered repeatedly, "Tell the second son's wife to take the girl away and make her his concubine. Don't let anything like this happen again!"

Mother Lin complained bitterly in her heart, but she had no choice but to do what she was told.
