The post from the Changning Marquis' Mansion went directly to the hands of the Marquis's wife, Liu Diejing. Thinking of what she had done to her eldest daughter-in-law during this period, she began to panic!

To show how urgent the situation is, I feel like I am feeling unwell all over and a little sick!

She just felt that this time when she posted the post, she felt like she was at the Hongmen Feast, thinking:

Otherwise, let the two daughters-in-law take the two concubines' daughters with them. It would be difficult for them to be too harsh on the younger generation!

However, as soon as this thought came to her mind, she suppressed it!

I just heard my son's analysis yesterday. This relative of theirs must be coming back for a promotion. Since they failed in their previous attack on the Su family, they can only keep a low profile for now!

If the two families have to meet, even if they suffer injustice, they must endure it so as not to alert the enemy!

Moreover, as a son-in-law, I have to go and please my father-in-law and see if I can follow his lead and get promoted to a high position!

Therefore, in order to show her importance, Liu Diejing specially invited someone from the embroidery workshop to come to her house to tailor the clothes for her!

Although this embroidery shop is not as luxurious as the one that embroidered Luoshang, its products are of good quality and low price, and the styles of its clothes are in no way inferior to those of the one that embroidered Luoshang. It is a place frequented by the wives of officials from the middle-class families in the city!

Su Qingling had already known her mother's intention in advance, and she felt both happy and sad. Having lived this life again, she knew very well how much a mother loved her own flesh and blood!

Caixia came to Ruixueyuan and explained her purpose:

"Madam, there is an invitation from the Xin'an Marquis's Mansion. A flower-viewing banquet will be held in three days... Madam said that she wants to make two sets of clothes for you and the young ladies. Please ask me to go to Jinxiu Hall to take your measurements and have the clothes tailored!"

Su Qingling agreed, and followed Chunlan and Xiahe to the main courtyard!

The second young lady Liu Meixuan was already sitting beside them, and even Xie Yinyin and Xie Yinyun were one step ahead!

As soon as she stepped into the door, Xie Yinyin couldn't help but speak:

"Sister-in-law, you are so arrogant. You made everyone wait for you just to make a piece of clothing. If you wait a little longer, will you ask others to invite you three or five times?"

Su Qingling is no longer the person who was tolerant of facts and could give in whenever possible. His smile was like a spring breeze, but it made people feel cold.

"Fourth sister has probably learned all the rules and teachings for women. If word gets out, people will laugh at us at Changning Marquis Mansion for not knowing the rules!"

"Let alone other things, you can't bear the accusation of disrespecting your eldest sister-in-law! If it's just you, it's fine, but don't bring shame to the reputations of the sisters in several mansions!"

The implication is that you don't know the rules and don't respect the inferiors. Do you still want to find a husband? If your reputation gets out, it will affect the reputation of the women of the Xie family in Changning Marquis's Mansion, whether they are the real family or the side branches!

This sentence made Xie Yinyin depressed. She was just jealous of her elder sister-in-law, who married into a wealthy family and had a rich dowry and was confident, making a concubine like her feel ashamed!

However, seeing the murderous look in his stepmother's eyes, he had no choice but to shrink his neck like a quail, not daring to say anything more!

Several people came to the embroidery workshop, bringing about twenty rolls of fabric, including Hang silk, flower-sprinkled soft silk, transparent white plum-colored cicada-wing gauze, brocade...

Su Qingling looked at her mother-in-law and smiled:

"Mother has measured the size!"

Liu Diejing waved her hands and sighed:

"At her age, mother doesn't need new clothes anymore, so let's make some for you youngsters!"

Su Qingling looked at her sister-in-law, who was smiling awkwardly, and understood:

"If our mother doesn't do this, then even if we, as children, wear new clothes and go out, others will laugh at us for being unfilial and only caring about ourselves!"

It’s not that Liu Diejing doesn’t like wearing new clothes, but her eldest daughter-in-law has changed her temperament and is not as easy to talk to as before. To make these clothes, including the materials and labor, one person would need at least two taels of silver, right?

The daughter-in-law and two concubine daughters need at least ten taels, and the annual salary of the Marquis is only a hundred or so taels. Although the family does not rely on this salary of the Marquis, if they have to pay the money themselves, it would be like digging out their own flesh and blood!

However, this daughter-in-law seemed really rude, and I was hoping that she would take the initiative and help to pay for the expenses, but in the end, she didn't even mention it!

Liu Diejing wanted to say a few more things, but with the people from the embroidery workshop present, she couldn't say it out loud. She could only smile and pretend to brush her sleeves!

"Never mind, since that's what you said, I'll do it reluctantly!"

So, several people chose a pattern each!

Liu Diejing chose a piece of Shu brocade with a conch indigo color. In fact, she liked the one with soft gold thread more, but the color was a crimson purple that she couldn't support!

Su Qingling didn't have any requirements. She was now in her prime, and her skin was fair with a rosy glow!

After looking around, I picked out a piece of lilac-colored gauze with a cloud pattern. It has a light and textured feel, and the material is thin, breathable and not stuffy, which is perfect for this season!

Liu Meixin was petite and not the type to show off. As they had only been married for a few months, she finally picked a silver-red color, which was neither glaring nor dull!

Xie Yinyin walked back and forth several times before finally choosing a piece of persimmon-colored material!

Xie Yinyun had no part in this event, but Lord Xie reminded her that the girl was already thirteen years old and it was time for her to go out and walk around!

In his eyes, there were not many daughters in his family, so even if they were concubines' daughters, they had to be sold like commodities, waiting for a price. Even if he couldn't marry into a high-class family, he still wanted to find a family from a fourth-rank or higher baron's family that could be of help to the Marquis's Mansion!

Although Liu Diejing was unhappy, she also knew the importance of purchasing equipment!

In the end, Xie Yinyun chose the Xizi-colored satin!

Of course, there is another lining!

On the third day, the embroidery workshop delivered several sets of dresses!

Su Qingling actually had several new sets of clothes that she hadn't worn yet, so Nanny Zhou and Chunlan took time out to do some stitches on them, for fear that her belly had grown too big and the clothes wouldn't fit her anymore!

However, seeing her mother-in-law looking so distressed but having to pretend to be a loving mother, Su Qingling wished she could make two more!

After trying on the clothes, I found this coupled color long skirt paired with a light purple jacket with a pattern of fish playing with golden lotus. Only a person who is confident yet low-key can wear such a unique beauty!

"Miss, this lilac color looks dull when worn by ordinary people, but you look like a fairy who is about to fly away in the next moment!"

Dongmei was eating the candied beans she had fried herself on the plate while clapping her hands with stars in her eyes. The others were all amazed!

Su Qingling is only a hundred days pregnant now, but she no longer feels nauseous when she smells fishy smells, and she can now eat!

Nowadays, Dongmei has to add two more meals to the three meals a day, which is somewhat similar to feeding pigs!

Since I was able to eat, I have fish soup at least twice a day, and I also drink milk at night!

She felt that the flesh on her face had visibly swelled up, but Nanny Zhou smiled and teased:

"You little face, when the little master in your belly comes out, I will be thankful if you can look like a girl again!"
