Just because she is an illegitimate granddaughter, she is ignored completely.
But Nalan Jinlian is legitimate, so she receives such attention.
Nalan Huanhuan glanced at Nalan Mingzhu, smiled slightly, and continued eating her al.
Her appetite suddenly improved.
Nalan Mingyi sat beside Nalan Mingzhu, picked up so food and placed it on the plate in front of Nalan Mingzhu, "Sister, are you used to the food?"
"Yes!" Nalan Mingzhu nodded.
If she’s not used to it, then so what? Who would specially prepare it for her?
No one would.
The old Marquess looked at Nalan Mingzhu, knowing she is the third son’s illegitimate daughter, he smiled and said, "If you need anything later, tell your eldest aunt!"
Although she is an illegitimate daughter, she is also the daughter of the Marquis Residence and should be pampered.
"Yes, thank you, Grandfather!"
Nalan Mingzhu understood in her heart that even if she spoke up, her eldest aunt could decline, or deal with it slowly.
Completely different from her legitimate sister.
A al where so are happy and others worried.
Mrs. Xu asked Nalan Jinlian to go to her courtyard and took so fabrics for Nalan Jinlian, "These were part of my dowry from your maternal grandmother when I got married. I planned to keep them for your dowry, but you’re about to co of age, so you must dress beautifully!"
"Thank you, Mother!"
Mrs. Xu smiled.
"Tomorrow, spend quality ti with your grandmother. The day after, we’ll return to your maternal grandmother’s house, stay there for two days, then return to the Marquis Residence. Take these fabrics back and have the maids asure you, and quickly make an outfit. As for the style, the two seamstress maids ought to know!"
Mrs. Xu said, her eyes smiling, "But my Lianlian is good-looking, she looks good in anything she wears!"
Nalan Jinlian laughed.
"Alright, go back now, your father will co over later!"
Nalan Jinlian stood up.
Mrs. Xu carefully tied Nalan Jinlian’s cape straps and placed the hat on her, "Lianlian, having a kind heart is good, but sotis, rember it’s necessary to be cautious of others. The people in this residence aren’t as nice or as purely kind as you imagine. Keep good track of your stuff, don’t just give it away when others ask. Especially with Liao Mistress and her three children, be extra careful with them. What kind of life did they have before? Even though they were outsiders, your father gave them plenty of money, so they lived carefree and at ease. But now in the Marquis Residence, everything must follow the rules. As the saying goes, the human heart is never satisfied, and those whose pride is higher than the sky are the most likely to harbor malicious intentions!"
Just like Nalan Mingzhu.
The more carefree she lived before, the more stifled she feels now.
Nalan Jinlian nodded, "Mother, rest assured, I will rember!"
"It’s good that you rember, go on!"
After Nalan Jinlian left, Mrs. Xu then instructed Mama Zhao briefly and finally sighed, "Though she’s not my legitimate daughter, she’s always respectful to , calls mother, and I must protect her thoroughly, so those good-for-nothings don’t make her sad!"
"Madam, don’t worry, the young lady is perceptive!"
"She’s a good one, I know!"
While wanting to protect her, there’s also the desire to know her past.
Yet she can’t bear to let her go.
Such a contradiction indeed.
Nalan Bo ca over, and after being intimate with Mrs. Xu, he got up, dressed, and left.
As a father, he deeply cares for Nalan Mingzhu, but for the sake of his future, he can’t do anything.
Nor does he dare to show favoritism towards a concubine over his wife.
Mrs. Xu lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
Mama Zhao personally attended to Mrs. Xu, "Mama?"
"I’m here!"
"When can I escape such a life?"
