FSC [QT] Chapter 106.3

Everyone knew that Ling Zhuo looked neither like her nor like Ling Yaodong. These days, Mrs. Fan had looked through all the family trees of the Fan and Ling families’ relatives before she found a portrait of her grandmother and discovered that Ling Zhuo was somewhat similar to her grandmother.

As for Ah Wu, there was no need to say more. Just that face was enough to prove that she was her daughter.

When she said this, Mrs. Fan was even smiling. She held Ling Zhuo with one hand and Ah Wu with the other. She was very doting on her two daughters.

At this point, most of the speculations of others were dispelled. At least, Ah Wu’s identity was no longer in doubt.

Who would specially bring back a girl who had nothing to do with their family and recognize her as their legitimate daughter?

Not to mention that the Ling family had no shortage of girls. Even if they wanted to find someone for marriage, there were many candidates.

Mrs. Xiao Wu on the side rolled her eyes. Fortunately, even though she had a pig head, she had some sense of the overall situation. She kept a stiff face and smiled as she responded to Mrs. Fan’s words.

“It’s boring for you young girls to stay with us. Come on, take these young ladies to the Eldest Young Lady’s yard.”

Mrs. Chengyi saw that Mrs. Fan was cunning and could not find any flaws in her, so she could only stop trying for the time being and ordered the maids to take the girls from the Marquis of Changping Mansion to the backyard.

She thought that it was impossible for Ling Wu to have a qualitative transformation in just over a month. Perhaps what they saw now was just a superficial glamor.

As long as she let her daughter try, she would know whether the Seventh Young Lady of the Marquis of Changping Mansion was really as steady and generous as she looked.

Moreover, it was more appropriate for girls of the same age to bicker and joke with each other than for her, an elder, to take action personally.

If the Ling family girl made a fool of herself, others would not be able to accuse her, the madam of the Marquis of Chengyi, of bullying the weak.

Mrs. Fan didn’t know that the Marquis of Chengyi Mansion was so hostile to the Marquis of Changping Mansion. Because from the beginning to the end, Mrs. Fan had no intention of marrying her daughter into the royal family.

This was her attitude toward Ling Zhuo before, and it was still the same attitude toward the two children, Ling Zhuo and Ling Wu.

Moreover, Mrs. Fan thought that the attitude of the Marquis of Changping Mansion not wanting to get involved in the prince’s fight for the throne was very obvious.

But she did not consider that these women in the Marquis of Chengyi Mansion had already regarded her daughter as a competitor and wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

So, she let the girls follow the maid downstairs without any worries.

She thought that on such an important occasion, the Marquis of Chengyi Mansion should pay more attention to its reputation than her, the guest.

“Sister Jin, your headdress is so beautiful. This pearl is round and flawless. It is a rare and top-quality product.”

Jin Ruyi was dressing up. Today was her coming-of-age ceremony, so her makeup and clothes were naturally extremely luxurious and expensive.

At this moment, Jin Ruyi’s maid was helping her put on jewelry. A hairpin inlaid with deep-sea gold beads the size of longan caught the attention of several girls.

“This pearl is…”

There was a gleam of satisfaction in Jin Ruyi’s eyes, but she quickly concealed it and showed a gentle smile. She turned around and looked at her girlfriends as they were about to briefly explain the origin of the pearl.

At this moment, a maid brought in several girls from the Marquis of Changping Mansion.

Everyone’s attention was focused on Ah Wu.

Her outstanding appearance and demeanor, as well as the set of top-quality pink bead headwear she was wearing, instantly attracted a large wave of hatred.

These pearls were of top quality and were in no way inferior to the golden pearl on Jin Ruyi’s head. However, Jin Ruyi only had one pearl, while Ah Wu had countless pink pearls on her head.

Just based on this point, Ah Wu made the speech that Jin Ruyi had been brewing for a long time become a joke.

“Who is this…”

Jin Ruyi almost bit her teeth off.

The wealth of the Marquis of Changping Mansion was well-known to everyone. In addition to the first generation of the Marquis of Changping’s fortune from the war, the generous rewards from the subsequent emperors also played an important role.

In addition, the Marquis of Changping had few descendants, so when the family was divided, the bulk of the property was in the hands of the eldest son of the direct line. It was passed down from generation to generation, and the wealth was still concentrated.

Every time they gathered, the girls of the Ling family always dressed up the most attentively. Even Ling Ying, the concubine’s daughter of the second branch, dressed better than the legitimate daughters of ordinary officials.
