Ji felt a headache when she heard the sisters bickering. She said coldly, "Stop talking. You are sisters from the same family after all. Who are you quarreling for?"

So the sisters stood up again to apologize. The lady was indeed annoyed by the fourth lady's call of "old-fashioned", so she waved her hand to signal them to leave.

When leaving the house, Sanniang turned around and walked with Ruan Yuluan, whispering about the latest fashionable clothing materials.

The fourth lady over there was filled with anger and wanted to stretch out her toes to trip Ruan Yuluan.

Unexpectedly, the Fifth Lady had anticipated this and knew that she liked to play dirty tricks, so she was on guard and stepped over without even blinking.

The plan failed, and she cursed angrily: "Little bitch!"

The maidservant beside her hurriedly advised her kindly, "Mrs. Xu is in favor, and your future is limitless... Why are you angry with an orphan like her? Don't lose your status."

Only by saying this did Ruan Yuxi stop. Seeing that figure leaving from afar, she at least cursed: "You have a mother who gave birth to you but not a mother who raised you."

Only then did he vent his anger and walked towards Jinxiu Courtyard.

Aunt Xu was favored and respectable, and the Jinxiu Courtyard where the mother and daughter lived was naturally one of the most luxurious in the Ruan Mansion. The courtyard was quite large, with pavilions and towers inside, like a small garden.

As soon as Ruan Yuxi stepped into the flower hall, he could not help but rush towards the beautiful woman who was playing with birds in front of the window, and told her what had happened today in an indignant manner.

Aunt Xu couldn't help but poke her forehead with her fingertips, which were painted with bright red nail polish, showing a half-helpless look.

"I told you to be careful with your words..." After she finished feeding the birds, a maid brought her a handkerchief to wipe her hands. The woman said in a cold tone, "You should do everything behind their backs. Don't confront them in person... Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will be the first one to be suspected."

This was the principle Aunt Xu followed for most of her life. It was a pity that her daughter was spoiled and only learned a little bit of her principles.

"Mother!" Although she was the one who started the fight, Ruan Yuxi felt very aggrieved. "It's okay for others, but Ruan Yuluan doesn't even have a biological mother. She's an orphan. If I can't even step on her... let alone others!"

Ruan Yuxi naturally wanted to be at the forefront of everything, as she was arrogant by nature.

Aunt Xu looked a little helpless, but she also thought seriously: "After Fifth Lady fell into the water and woke up, she really seemed like a different person..."

Perhaps she had grown a lot after going through hardships? Aunt Xu pondered for a moment and called in a maid.

"Cui Liu," the beautiful woman said softly, "In a few days, you will go to Guiyue Pavilion to serve Fifth Lady... If she makes any move, you must report it to me immediately. Do you understand?"

The maid quickly leaned down and said, "Yes."

Four or five days later, Liu Ma, the housekeeper in the mansion, came to visit Guiyue Pavilion.

She brought two maids with her, smiling, and said slowly: "I think that Fifth Lady is all alone, with only two maids serving her closely, and the rest are just two maids who do rough work."

"Therefore, two maids were specially selected to serve the lady. One is called Cui Liu and the other is called Hong Mei."

At that time, Ruan Yuluan happened to be sitting under the corridor to enjoy the cool air. When she saw the two of them, her eyes glanced at the girl named "Cui Liu".

She vaguely remembered that she had seen this girl by Ruan Yuxi's side in her previous life.

The girl understood something in her heart, but pretended not to know: "Thank you, Mama Liu, for caring about me. In that case, I'll accept it."

"Well, it's my duty." Qiu Xiu stepped forward and gave her a few pieces of silver as a reward. Mother Liu glanced at her with contempt, but still accepted it with a smile and turned to leave.
