FSC [QT] Chapter 105.3

In the days that followed, Mrs. Fan was even more attentive in educating Ah Wu. She even set aside the nanny specially invited from the palace and taught Ah Wu the etiquette and rules step by step.

“Isn’t it strange? Xiao Wu’s manners are not perfect, but her every move is indescribably beautiful. I think, instead of forcing her to learn those rigid etiquettes, it is better to let her keep her own characteristics.”

Mrs. Fan herself received the most stringent teachings since she was a child, but she was unwilling to be so strict with her daughter who was lost and found again.

If she didn’t know that she would be laughed at if she didn’t learn the rules well and entered this circle, she would not even want her daughter to bear this little bit of hardship.

“The young lady is the daughter of the Marquis and the Eldest Madam. The noble bloodline in her body cannot be changed in any way.”

Nanny Fan had a proud look on her face. She was a conservative person who only recognized blood ties.

In her opinion, the Seventh Young Lady was the daughter of the Marquis and the Eldest Madam, so no matter how outstanding she was, it was natural.

“Don’t worry, Eldest Madam. The Seventh Young Lady will definitely shine tomorrow.”

Nanny Fan knew what the Eldest Madam was worried about.

No matter how much her family doted on her, in this era, the most important thing for a woman was to marry an excellent and loving husband.

And the performance of the Seventh Young Lady in the Marquis of Chengyi’s Mansion tomorrow would largely determine her future.

If the Seventh Young Lady’s performance pleased the madams of other families, her future marriage would not be affected by the fact that she had been wandering outside for eleven years.

But if the Seventh Young Lady’s performance was not good, even if the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion was powerful, those who were willing to marry the Seventh Young Lady were destined to be those who were trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful.

“I still feel a little uneasy in my heart.” Mrs. Fan touched her brow.

In fact, according to her opinion, her daughter Ling Wu’s official appearance in this circle should be postponed for a month or two. It would be best to hold a banquet hosted by the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion.

The Eldest Young Lady of the Marquis of Chengyi’s Mansion was destined to be the protagonist at her coming-of-age ceremony. When dressing up her daughter, she must maintain a certain degree of control and not overwhelm her.

“And this Marquis of Chengyi’s Mansion…” Mrs. Fan paused.

She didn’t have much contact with Mrs. Chengyi, but she had heard about the bad-tempered Marquis of Chengyi many times from her husband Ling Yaodong.

The other party was a staunch member of the First Prince. Not long ago, he publicly accused Yan Zhongying of being a eunuch in power and disrupting the government.

According to Yan Zhongying’s narrow-mindedness, she was afraid that the Marquis of Chengyi had already been on the other party’s list of people to be eliminated.

It just so happened that the Marquis of Chengyi and the Marquis of Changping had been friends for generations. More than a month ago, the other party sent the chief butler to deliver the invitation, so it would be a bad idea not to go.

“I hope nothing will happen.”

Mrs. Fan rubbed her swollen and painful head.

The title of Marquis of Chengyi was also conferred by the late emperor. No matter how bold Yan Zhongying was, he couldn’t attack a marquis directly.

“Send my amber headdress to Ah Zhuo.”

These days, Mrs. Fan’s mind was on Ah Wu, and indeed, she had neglected her adopted daughter.

Before, Mrs. Fan blamed her for pretending to be sick, but as time went by, her past feelings prevailed.

Thinking that her adopted daughter seemed to be much more obedient these days, Mrs. Fan’s heart softened.

“Yes.”

Nanny Fan didn’t comment.

As long as the Eldest Madam did not regard the adopted daughter as more important than her own daughter and just gave her some clothes and jewelry, it didn’t seem stupid to Nanny Fan.

***

On the day of the Marquis of Chengyi’s banquet, the girls in the Marquis of Changping’s Mansion were all dressed up very exquisitely. Just standing there was a beautiful sight.

Ah Wu put on the set of pink pearl head ornaments made by the craftsman. Each of these pearls was the size of a thumb, round and flawless.

What was rare was that the colors of each pink pearl were roughly similar, which was very rare.

“Auntie is so good to my Seventh Sister.” Ling Wei leaned close to Ling Zhuo and murmured in a low voice.

The jealousy in her eyes was directed at Ling Wu, and the gloating in her eyes was directed at Ling Zhuo.

Today she also wore a set of pearl head ornaments on her head. This batch of pearls was the top quality sent by the pearl farm in the South China Sea.

Unfortunately, they were white pearls, and they were freshwater pearls, which were far less precious than the one Ah Wu wore.

Both of them were daughters of the Marquis of Changping Mansion, so why were they so partial to one over the other?

Ling Wei was a little jealous. Before, it was Ling Zhuo, and now it was Ling Wu. There was always someone above her.
