Hearing the words, Liu Ruoyu showed a trace of crimson on her face, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "Sister Wei praised me too much, I…I am clumsy. It's only because the seventh sister does not give up on me and think about me all the time." Her voice was low and soft and was little floating, which made it sound insufficiency of middle-warmer energy.

Wei Changying smiled and said, "Sister Liu is too humble. As soon as I see that you have slender fingers, I know that you are a clever person." She came over today and was ready to meet Liu Ruoyu so that she had already prepared a bracelet. And now she took it off from her wrist to give it to her as a gift.

Liu Ruoyu quickly refused. Mrs. Liu smiled and said that Wei Changying was too polite. Seeing that she was determined to give it to her, Mrs. Liu let Liu Ruoyu accept it.

Originally, the three people wanted to make a few polite remarks, but Shen Shuyan ran over and held the skirt of Wei Changying to ask her to hug her. Wei Changying had to lean over and pick her up. Seeing this, Mrs. Liu beckoned everyone to take their seats.

Taking advantage of the situation, Shen Shuyan suddenly took off one of the golden hair clasps that Wei Changying had worn at the sideburns. Wei Changying noticed that her hair was falling so that she subconsciously cried lowly and reached out to press it. Shen Shurou, the seven-year-old sister of Shen Shuyan, saw this and hurriedly reprimanded her sister, "Fourth Sister, listen to me and give the hair clasps back to the third aunt!"

Yet Shen Shuyan joyfully held the hair clasp in her hands and tried to wear it on her head. A four-year-old child, she could now only stick a few small silk flowers on her head. Wei Changying's golden hair clasp was more than four inches long, how could she wear it on her head? On the contrary, she broke up the neatly tied pigtails.

Wei Changying held her in one hand, pressed her hair on the temples in the other, and laughed and said, "I thought Shuyan likes me, yet she actually took a fancy to this hair clasps?" The body of her hair clasps was gold, but the hairpin head was woven into the style of a phoenix bird with the string of gold wire. The phoenix bird was holding a string of coral bead, and its eyes were embedded with obsidian. It had a colorful body inlaid with agate gems, which were very luxurious.

Of course, the children might not know anything about luxury, but this colorful hair clasp could attract their attention. No wonder Shen Shuyan would put aside her familiar aunt and Liu Ruoyu, who had taken care of them these two days and took the initiative to ask the new aunt to hug her.

Mrs. Liu laughed as well when she saw it and said, "I didn't know Shuyan liked the hairpin ring so much. I'll ask someone to craft a small one for you tomorrow. You can't wear this one until you grow up." She stretched out her hand to Shen Shuyan to ask for the golden hair clasp and planned to give it back to Wei Changying.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shuyan liked this hair clasp very much so that she hugged it and refused to give up. Seeing that she was about to take the things of the third aunt as her own in front of so many people, Shen Shurou blushed with shame, ran over while holding her skirt, and tiptoed to grab, "Give it back to the third aunt!"

Seeing that Shen Shuyan put her arms around her neck, lifted the hair clasp straight up, and refused to give it to his sister, Wei Changying said, "It doesn't matter! It's just a hairpin. Shuyan likes it, and I'll just give it to her to play."

Shen Shurou blushed and said, "Thank you, but my mother said that we are not allowed to take things given by the eldest aunt and the third aunt at will, so as not to become a habit and hurt the character."

So she intimidated Shen Shuyan, "Aren’t you going to give it back to the third aunt? If you don't give it back, when mother comes back, I'll tell mother and see how she will beat you!"

Shen Shuyan listened and looked at her sister again. In a dilemma, her big black grape-like eyes flickered, and she burst into tears. Now everyone could not care about the meal and was all busy coaxing her.

Mrs. Liu said softly, "Don't be afraid. Your mother is still at your great-grandmother's house. She won't be able to come back and hit you now. Your second sister is only scaring you. Don't cry, ah, stop crying!"

Shen Shurou said while pouted, "First Aunt, when my mother comes back, I will definitely tell her. Fourth Sister shouldn't have taken the things of the third aunt in the first place!"

When Shen Shurou said this, Shen Shuyan cried even more. Wei Changying hurriedly promised to intercede for her, but Shen Shurou said seriously, "Third Aunt, this is not right. If all the sisters see the good things of the third aunt and take them without saying anything, what is the difference between this and the stealing? Besides, Fourth Sister is still young now. Will her mother not prepare a hairpin ring for her when she grows up? What's the use of her taking away the golden hair clasps from the third aunt now? On the contrary, she pulled it out quietly and made the third aunt loosen her hair!"

Wei Changying did not expect that Shen Shurou looked soft and quiet and was very young, yet she had a lot of ideas. So she had to say with a wry smile, "Yes, third aunt is wrong, but Shuyan is still young...."

"She is young, so we have to teach her well." Shen Shurou looked at her sister solemnly with a straight face. "Fourth Sister used to be disobedient, so she used to cry to avoid punishment. Mother ignores her every time. Yet the eldest aunt, the third aunt, and the aunts from the Liu Family, the more they coax her, the noisier she gets. So let's just leave her alone and ask her to go out on the porch to reflect herself!"

Mrs. Liu smiled bitterly and said, "How can this work? She hasn't eaten yet."

"Then wait until she admits her mistake before she can eat!" Although her pretty lineal sister was crying tearfully, Shen Shurou was obviously a very stubborn elder sister. Therefore, she was not soft-hearted and said with a cold voice and serious face.

Mrs. Liu and Wei Changying looked at each other in speechless despair. Shen Shurou was Shen Shuyan's lineal sister and also carried out the Mrs. Duanmu rules. It was right for her to teach her sister. But as aunts, they were having a meal here yet left the little niece alone on the porch to reflect herself...

When they were troubled by this, Liu Ruoyu winked at Shen Shuyan and whispered, "Good Yan, give the hair clasp back to your aunt and eat first, will you?"

Maybe she was taken care of by Liu Ruoyu these days or was afraid of Shen Shurou's complaint. Shen Shuyan thought for a moment with tears, looked at her sister, then looked at the hair clasp, and finally looked at Liu Ruoyu, hesitantly letting go.

Mrs. Liu and Wei Chang both breathed a sigh of relief and meditated together, "All right, no one is at fault. Since Shuyan has known her mistake, then that's it."

Shen Shurou, who disagreed a little bit, wanted to say something, and Wei Changying said with a busy smile, "Shurou knows how to teach her sister when she is so young. She is really a good girl. It's just that the third aunt loves you, too. If you are all unhappy, will the third aunt dare to wear it in the future? Don't you think?"

Mrs. Liu also said, "Let it be, and your third aunt can still wear it in the future. But if you still want to punish Shuyan, your third aunt will have to always remember this and maybe transfer her anger on to this hair clasp. What a pity that this hair clasp is not worn in the future?"

It was only in this way that the event was over. When the meal was over, Liu Ruoyu and Shen Shujing took the rest of them to retreat. Mrs. Liu asked Wei Changying to have tea, and when they chatted, they could not help but mention the sisters from the second branch just now. Wei Changying said, "Although I have just married in, I can see the strictness of my second sister-in-law's education. If they are older, they will be just like Shujing."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "The second sister-in-law is serious in nature and has always taught her daughter to be fastidious. I didn't restrain Shujing much. I put the rules there, and I had my own punishment if she doesn't listen to it."

"Then first sister-in-law is nourishing everything quietly, Shujing’s demeanor is extremely good and has the demeanor of the eldest lineal granddaughter. In a few years, she must be famous among the boudoir."

"The third younger brother and sister are overpraised. She is still young and has to study hard." Mrs. Liu said so, but her smile was much deeper, and she was obviously very proud of her eldest daughter.

They said a few words about their sons and daughters. Because Wei Changying did not have children, she generally praised Shen Shujing and Shen Shuming, and Mrs. Liu spoke humbly on the behalf of her children. After a few words, Mrs. Liu gradually turned the conversation to her sister Liu Ruoyu and said emotionally, "It's not that I speak for my sister, but Ruoyu is really a good girl. Unfortunately, her fate is ill-fated. The third sister-in-law is not an outsider, so I will not hide it from you. The child's mother passed away early, my step-aunt has a quick temper so that she doesn't get along very well with Ruoyu. And she has her own daughter...So it's hard for her not to neglect her."

Wei Changying felt that Mrs. Liu gave a sincere talk to her with such a shallow relationship and could not figure out her intention, so she tried to say, "I saw that Sister Ruoyu didn't look very good. I thought she was born weak, but how could she be…She is worrying about family matters? First Sister-in-law, don't blame me for speaking bluntly. In fact, I think Sister Ruoyu is already at this mature age. Even if she worries about her family, she will not worry for too long, right?"

"It is because she is mature that she has a lot of worries. If she is still young, how can she be wronged like this now?" Mrs. Liu sneered, retreated the servants around, and lowered her voice. "First Miss of the Song Family, your lineal cousin, minister of the public resigned her position of the Crown Princess on her behalf because she had hurt her appearance last year. Do you know who the Crown Prince is going to take as his concubine now?"

When Wei Changying saw that she sent the servants away, she became more and more suspicious. She just married in, and she didn't know Mrs. Liu before. If what Mrs. Liu said before was making too profound a conversation, now this remark was already a bit of a heart-to-heart meaning. Why did Mrs. Liu believe in her so much? What did she want to do?

At this moment, hearing Mrs. Liu's mention of the new Crown Princess, Wei Changying was surprised and said, "Is it…?"

"It is Ruoyu!" Mrs. Liu sighed deeply and said, "There is no one else at this time, and I will not hide it. Although the Crown Princess is honorable, the palace is deep, how can the heavenly woman be as comfortable as ordinary people? Ruoyu's health is not good and has a delicate mind, I really don't know what she's going to do with her life in the future!"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Liu's tear started to fall.

Wei Changying was stunned and for a moment did not know how to answer: she and Mrs. Liu really did not have such a good relationship to say such things, let alone Mrs. Liu cried in front of her.

And what exactly did Mrs. Liu mean? Even though she speculated that the Wei Family played a role in breaking off the engagement of Song Zaishui with the Crown Prince, Song Zaishui was her own lineal cousin, coupled with the bridal relationship between the Wei and Song Family...What was Liu Ruoyu? Speaking of that, Wei Changying still had a personal feud with the Liu Family!

Did this first sister-in-law want me to help Liu Ruoyu refuse to marry again? Was this possible?

Wei Changying considered carefully about what she was going to say, but Mrs. Liu quickly took out the veil and wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a forced smile, "I have been worrying about Ruoyu these days, but I let the third sister-in-law see the joke."

"It is enviable that the first sister-in-law has such a good relationship with Ruoyu." Wei Changying could only smile.

Mrs. Liu sighed, "We all come from a big family, and we have so many brothers and sisters. My fifth uncle is only my father’s brother. There is also a reason for saying that I have a close relationship with Ruoyu. Do you know how Ruoyu's biological mother died? I wasn't married yet that year, and I was only eleven years old. A group of female members of the Liu family went to Mirror Lake outside the city during spring. I was not cautious enough so that I fell into the lake. At that time, everyone panicked, and only my original fifth aunt waded down against the chilly spring to carry me up. As a result, I lived, and when she got home, she fell ill. Within two days, she developed typhoid fever and was sent to a small town outside the city. She died in a few days. At that time, Ruoyu was only full-week old, because typhoid fever would infect other people, and the fifth aunt she…. She was not able to see Ruoyu again until she died!"

Mrs. Liu could not help but burst into tears and said, "So after that, I felt guilty when I saw Ruoyu! If I hadn’t been that naughty and hadn't fallen into the water and encumbered fifth aunt, how could Ruoyu have been so aggrieved that she could not be entrusted to a good person for the rest of her life? But Ruoyu, she never blamed me, I...I feel even more guilty!"

Wei Changying looked at her at a loss and hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, "Don't be like this, first sister-in-law. There's nothing you can do about it. The first sister-in-law didn't fall into the water on purpose. Sister Ruoyu certainly understands this, so she doesn't blame you."

... In other words, first sister-in-law, you sent the servants away, and what did you want to say?

Mrs. Liu took the handkerchief and wiped her face and finally said the purpose, "I know that Granny Huang, who accompanies you here, is specially cultivated by the Old Madam of the Wei Family for you. And at one point, Old Madam tried every means to make her follow Miracle Doctor Ji for some time. So I want to ask Granny Huang to take a look at my poor tenth sister. Can her body still be recuperated?"

Before the words were finished, Mrs. Liu burst into tears again and cried, "Originally the Crown Prince…If the tenth younger sister becomes the Crown Princess yet can't have a biological child, how can she live in the future? At that time, the eldest prince killed himself after he was abandoned, and the eldest prince's wife died with him, but after Duke Cai died, Princess Consort Cai is still alive, isn't it for the sake of the County Duke Cai? Third sister-in-law, I know you just married in. It's too much to talk to you now about this, and you may not believe me completely, but the imperial edict of marriage will come down in half a month at the most. After the imperial edict, she must go home to wait to get married, and I won't be able to interfere in between at that time...."

It turned out that she was only trying to borrow Mrs. Huang. Wei Changying breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly comforted, "First sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Isn't it just to ask Granny Huang to take a look at Sister Ruoyu? As a matter of fact, even if you don't tell me so much today, I also want to mention it to you in a few days. Sister Ruoyu, such a beautiful and lovely girl, yet her complexion is so bad that it hurts people from the bottom of their hearts!"
