"Don't be afraid. Dad and mom are in the Northwest military camp all year round. They don't interact with many people in Shengjing City. No one will make things difficult for you. As soon as I heard that you were in Shengjing, I immediately rushed back. I will arrive in half a month. With mom here, all this is not a problem."

Zhou Caiyao understood what was said. Apart from the royal family, the General's Mansion could act arrogantly in Shengjing City. No matter whose noble family the lady was, they had to bow down in front of her, the second lady of the General's Mansion.

"What about the Lotus Class? My indenture is still there."

Li Shuangwan helped Zhou Caiyao sit down: "There is no rush for this matter. I will talk to the class owner when my mother comes back."

Zhou Caiyao didn't say anything. The indenture had her date of birth on it, but it didn't matter. She could say that she was afraid something might happen, so she deliberately reported it as two months younger.

Once she got the indenture, she burned it immediately.

It's not a big deal.

Li Shuangwan: "Yizhu, Luoman, the two of you go get the things from the car."

The two maids answered yes, and soon they came over with two large packages.

As soon as she opened it, Zhou Caiyao couldn't take her eyes away. There were silks and satins, jewelry and jade, and even the packages that contained these things were made of excellent fabrics.

Although she had nice clothes to wear and pearl hairpins to wear in the opera troupe, it was nothing compared to these.

Whenever he went to the mansions of wealthy families to perform, the ladies would give him rewards, and occasionally he could get five or ten taels of silver.

But all of these have to be handed over to the class owner, and he can only keep 30% at most.

The things were bought by Li Shuang at a shop when he arrived late at night, and they were of pretty good quality.

Zhou Caiyao swallowed hard: "Are these all for me?"

"Well, they are all yours. I took a small part of them. The rest will be left when you return to the mansion. You can pick out the ones you like. The General's Mansion has its own embroiderers. You can ask them to make anything you like, including embroidered shoes."

"As for the head jewelry." Li Shuangwan glanced at the jade hairpin on Zhou Caiyao's head. She was wearing this one the last time she saw her. She thought this was the only one she could afford. "I'll take you to the Treasure Pavilion tomorrow and you can choose for yourself."

Yi Zhu smiled and said, "The Treasure Pavilion belongs to the princess. It has all kinds of head ornaments and jewellery in it. The styles are novel and unique. The ladies and wives in Shengjing City like to buy there. Miss Yao will definitely be able to pick out what she likes."

Zhou Caiyao opened her mouth in astonishment. How much money would it cost to open a jewelry store?

"Sister, sister, are you going to let me live alone in the General's Mansion?"

"What's wrong? I do want you to go back, after all, that's our home, but Second Uncle wants you to go back after Mother comes to see you and confirms that you are OK. I came here today to ask what you think. You are the biological daughter of your parents, and if you want to live in the General's Mansion, you don't have to pay attention to what Second Uncle and Second Aunt say."

Zhou Caiyao felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart, so she could only timidly say, "I, I don't know anyone, my father and mother are not here, I'm scared. This place is too big, I don't dare to live alone. Sister, can I live with you in Prince Heng's Mansion?"

Li Shuangwan looked embarrassed: "This matter requires the consent of His Highness."

Sure enough, even if they are reborn once, the desire to curry favor with the rich and powerful is engraved in the bones of some people.

So even though her second uncle had clearly told her to live here before her mother returned to Shengjing, she still asked specifically.

But she never expected that she would have to live with her in Prince Heng's mansion!

From the time she came in until now, the expression on Zhou Caiyao's face changed several times, and she saw it all.

Zhou Caiyao: "Hmm? Isn't my sister a princess? The princess is the mistress of the palace. Isn't it okay for her to bring her own sister to stay for a few days?"

Roman rolled his eyes. Before anything happened, he started to sow discord between His Highness and the Princess. He said calmly, "Miss Yao, you don't know that the Prince's Mansion is different from other mansions. There are always more rules. I guess Miss Yao has never been to the Prince's Mansion in all these years since she joined the troupe?"

Li Shuangwan glared at Luo Man and said, "How about this, if you don't want to stay at the General's Mansion, then you can stay here for two more nights. I'll ask His Highness tomorrow. If there's no problem, I'll have the driver take you back the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Caiyao was a little unwilling again, and said timidly: "Then, then we won't go to the General's Mansion?"

"I've already told my second uncle about your situation. Let's wait a couple of days until mother comes back, and then we'll take you back to meet my second uncle and aunt. Don't worry, since there's evidence and witnesses to prove that you're my biological sister, you can't run away."

Zhou Caiyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you are the daughter of my Li family, Daddy has given you a new name, Li Shuangyao. Our generation all has the character 'Shuang' in it."

Zhou Caiyao readily agreed: "I'll listen to my parents and sister. Li Shuangyao sounds good. Sister, I like this name very much."

She knew very well that she was living in the General's Mansion, and the Li couple were not around. She was new there and didn't know the tricks of the wealthy families. She didn't know how to be bullied by the second wife.

What's more, as Li Shuangwan said, her identity as the daughter of the General's Mansion could not be escaped.

But the Hengwang Mansion is different.

With Sister Li Shuangwan around, families would visit each other as the year draws to a close. As long as the princess sister feels that she owes her, she will always take her with her, and she will be able to meet many noble young men.

Even the prince.

Her identity is no longer the same as before.

There is still one month left until the Chinese New Year.

At the same time, Ling Heng of the White Horse Temple received the news shortly after Li Shuangwan returned to Prince Heng's Mansion from Lu Mansion that day.

Of course he knew that one of the twins Zhu was pregnant with died on the day she was born, but now he was told that the baby girl was not dead?

The girl named Zhou Caiyao followed the Lotus Class into Shengjing and was discovered by Li Shuangwan at Lu Mansion!

He immediately asked Sipo to send someone to inquire, and the next day he received news that Li Shuangwan had sent Chen Ping out of the city. So he changed his strategy and asked Sipo to send someone to follow Chen Ping.

"Your Majesty, Chen Ping is back."

Ling Heng slowly wiped the sword in his hand: "Where did Li Shuangwan send him?"

Sipo lowered his head and did not dare to look at his master: "Reply, reply to the prince, our people followed the wrong person."

Ling Heng quickly placed the sword across Sipo's neck: "What did you say? You followed the wrong person!"

Sipo knelt down and said, "It is my fault that I did not do my job well. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Ha, ha, when did the people in Prince Heng's Palace become so useless that they even followed the wrong person. Chen Ping has been back for so many days, and now you come to tell me that he followed the wrong person! And Li Shuangwan inexplicably has a younger sister?"

If he had known about this person earlier, he would never have let her appear alive in front of Li Shuangwan.

The General’s Mansion can only have one daughter, and that person can only be Li Shuangwan, who is already married to him!

But she has already arrived in Shengjing, it would not be easy to kill her.
