"Why is he here?" Ji Chengjun said expressionlessly.
"Young miss may not know, but His Highness was specially invited by the master. He has been coming to our Duke of Song Mansion frequently recently, probably for the sake of Old Master's military power.”Haitang was an extremely intelligent woman. She saw through Xia Muyan's true intentions at a glance.
Unfortunately, Ji Chengjun was very foolish back then. In the face of love, he lost all rationality. She thought that Xia Muyan and she were a match made in heaven. Putting aside the political marriage of the family, the two of them were on the same page. However, after the bloody lesson, Ji Chengjun finally realized that everything was just a mirage. It was a beautiful thing that she had imagined.
"I didn't know that the Sixth Prince had arrived, so I didn't welcome you.”Haitang bowed in front of Xia Muyan, but Xia Muyan's gaze did not fall on the beautiful Haitang.
"You've lost a lot of weight recently." Xia Muyan's tone was filled with love and worry.
Ji Chengjun's heart suddenly trembled, but he still regained his calm.""I met the sixth prince by chance, how did you see that I was thin?”
Haitang was surprised. She only gently tugged at Ji Chengjun's sleeve behind her back, but she did not stop Ji Chengjun's nonsense.
"It seems that today is a joyous day for the Duke of Song Residence, but our Eldest Young Lady is not in a good mood.”Xia Muyan gave himself a way out, but Ji Chengjun didn't buy it at all.
"Who says I'm unhappy? Look at my Cloud Net Shirt, it was specially made for today's joyous occasion. I was the one who did all the preparations.”Ji Chengjun raised his eyes and said with a smile.
Xia Muyan only felt awkward and didn't say anything else.
"It's cold outside, why don't you go in and have a cup of wine?”Haitang stepped forward at the right time and invited Xia Muyan in with a smile.
Xia Muyan's eyes were fixed on Ji Chengjun. He didn't say anything, as if he was waiting for her to speak.
Ji Chengjun looked down and did not care about his every move. She didn't even invite him in.
The three of them just stood there. Ji Chengjun didn't speak, Xia Muyan didn't move, and Haitang didn't dare to cross over. At this moment, she was like a mute.
"The Sixth Prince is here." Gu Xianxiang appeared out of nowhere and looked at Xia Muyan with starry eyes.
"Hmm? And you are?" Xia Muyan scratched his head. There were simply too many servants in the Duke of Song Residence. It was impossible for Xia Muyan to remember every single servant girl in the garden.
"I…am the master's adopted daughter, Gu Xianxiang.”Gu Xianxiang pondered for a moment before introducing herself.
Xia Muyan only smiled perfunctorily and did not put the woman in front of him in his heart.
Gu Xianxiang's expression darkened, and she was unhappy.
She was an adopted daughter and not the daughter of the Song Duke's Mansion, so she naturally did not enter Xia Muyan's eyes. She came out to greet him, but she was just asking to be humiliated.
"I'll be leaving first." Xia Muyan paused for a moment before turning to Ji Chengjun. Then, he turned around and left for the main hall.
Gu Xianxiang looked at Xia Muyan's disappearing back and her heart was in a panic. She tightly gripped the handkerchief in her hand, but her smile was as beautiful as a flower.
All the high officials and dignitaries in the capital were present, and a pile of congratulatory gifts was piled up like a mountain.
Ji Chengjun couldn't care less about this and went to the Snow Song Garden.
Mei'e turned around to look at Ji Chengjun with a bashful expression after she had finished dressing up.
"You're really beautiful." Ji Chengjun's tone was calm. He didn't think that Mei'e would enter the residence as a side room.
"Thank you for your praise, young miss. Mei'e has such a good fortune from a humble background. Mei'e would never forget the kindness of the young miss and the old matriarch. In the future, she would definitely take the lead and follow the lead.”Mei'e tried her best to rope him in.
Ji Chengjun nodded casually." It's almost time. You should go out."”
"Who said it's almost done?" Aunt Du's voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire Hymn Snow Garden.
Mei'e immediately bowed.”
"Pa!" A loud slap landed on Mei-Er's face.
All the maids and old women were stunned on the spot, staring blankly at Aunt Du, not daring to make a sound.
" Sister, you..." Mei'e's tears fell like broken beads.
"Sister? What kind of sister am I? The day before yesterday, you still called me Madam. Who are you? You actually dared to seduce the Old Master and conspire with the Matriarch to make you a concubine in the Duke of Song's estate. I think you don't want to live anymore!" Aunt Du's voice became sharper.
"You…are such a bully." Mei-Er covered her swollen face and cried.
"Madam? There is only one wife in the entire Duke Song Residence, and that is my mother. You and she are the same, both are side rooms. If you embarrass my father on this wedding day, I won't forgive you.”Ji Chengjun looked at Aunt Du and snapped at everyone.
"You…I really raised an ingrate. Back then, how did I curry favor with you and your sister? Now, for the sake of a little girl, you actually joined forces with outsiders to oppose me.”Aunt Du looked at Ji Chengjun in exasperation. She no longer had her usual bearing and gentleness.
"This matter was arranged by the Matriarch. If Aunt Du has anything to say, she might as well go and talk to the Matriarch. As for raising us, hmph, if you didn't have such a small contribution, do you think our Ji family would still tolerate you?”Ji Chengjun's anger was ignited.
Aunt Du only opened her mouth in vain. She wanted to defend herself, but she didn't know what to say.
Ji Chengjun had always been a timid girl, and no one in the room could make a decision. Aunt Du had used this to bully and humiliate her for so many years. Ever since the last time she fell into the water, she didn't know why this girl's personality had changed so much. She talked back every time and even picked some irrelevant words to say, making Aunt Du very annoyed.
"As long as I'm here, Mei'e, don't even think about standing out in the Song Public House. Just you wait. If I can't deal with you, can't I deal with your family?”Aunt Du waved her sleeves and left angrily.
"What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and touch up Mei'e's makeup. If the guests see any clues, it will be a disgrace to the master.”Haitang's timely appearance made everyone, whose souls had left their bodies, busy again.
Amid the commotion, Mei'o finally appeared in everyone's line of sight. This woman was graceful and graceful, and her beauty could topple a country. With light steps, she arrived in front of Ji Xunyuan.
Ji Xunyuan stretched out his hand and held her boneless hand with a smile on his face.
The Matriarch sat in the middle. Seeing her son so happy, she felt relieved.
But what happened to Mei'e's face? It was swollen for no reason. Could it be that he was in the Snow Song Garden just now…
The Matriarch turned her head and looked at Aunt Du. The woman only watched coldly from the side, feeling displeased.
The Matriarch sighed deeply. She knew that Aunt Du was not the material to preside over the situation. On the other hand, Haitang was magnanimous and even helped out. The difference was obvious.
In the Matriarch's heart, Haitang was the best candidate for Ji Xunyuan's second wife.
