The Little Angels who did not subscribe enough saw abnormal chapters,

It made up for it.

In order to promote the rouge and face powder in the shop,

She and Jia Gu personally went to the field. They changed their previous style and attended all kinds of banquets held by the noble ladies every day.

Moreover, they followed Jia Su's suggestion. Not only did they let the maidservants and the others use the rouge and face powder in the shop, but the two of them also changed the rouge and face powder they used to the ones that were about to be sold in their own shop.

The effect was very good at the beginning. Firstly, it was novel. Secondly, these rouge and face powder looked really good after makeup.

Many ladies who were not very outstanding in appearance were even compared to the maidservants by the two of them, which angered some people.

However, they later found out that this was all because of the rouge and face powder, so they were not happy.

However, one by one, they could not help but privately visit them, wanting to ask them for some rouge and face powder.

There were only a few famous rouge shops in the capital.

Which one of these noble ladies was not close to the shop in their hearts?

There was no need to ask.

They knew that the rouge and face powder used by Jia Zhi and Jia Gu would not be bought from the shops outside.

However, they did not think that Jia Zhi and Jia Gu wanted to open a shop.

They only thought that they had a maidservant who was good at making rouge and face powder or that they had obtained some secret recipe from somewhere.

Because Jia Su did not say how to deal with such a situation in the beginning.

Jia Zhi thought about it and simply gave a box according to everyone's skin color.

Then, these ladies at the next banquet.

As expected, they all seemed to have changed their appearances.

They were swept away from their previous mediocrity.

In the middle of a group of glamorous women,

They could also attract some attention.

These changes naturally caused a sensation within a certain range.

Jia Gu saw this.

He also followed suit.

But in the end, the reason why the Color Pavilion was so popular was because of her.

Ever since she started using different methods to use the rouge and face powder from the Color Makeup Pavilion, her husband, the Marquis of Jin Yang, for some reason, gradually began to pay attention to her. There was even a time when she returned home late from a banquet, and he personally rode a carriage to the family holding the banquet to pick her up.

This had never happened before.

Not to mention that the Marquis of Jinyang had always been famous in the capital for being deeply in love with his first wife, the news about her as a second wife was not very good.

Even those who were rumored to be in love and harmony with the couple had never seen the husband lowering himself to personally receive someone.

These women were trapped in the backyard every day. As long as their husbands were clear-headed and did not favor their concubines and neglect their wives, most of them would spend most of their energy fighting for favor in the backyard.

And Jia Su had given them the best example.

At this time, if the news that the Caizhuang Pavilion was about to open for business was revealed, how many women would be able to resist?

Even Jia Gu, who was initially resistant to the rouge and face powder from the Color Makeup Pavilion, became much more positive after seeing this.

The reason why she was so happy today was because her husband, who had never taken her seriously, finally noticed her when they bumped into each other this morning. Not only did he praise her beauty, but he also seemed to have remembered that she had a miscarriage a month ago. He said a few words of concern and promised to rest at her place for the next few days.

Jia Gu's thoughts were similar to those of the other noblewomen, so after her husband gave her the signal to "reconcile," she naturally felt happy.

She even trusted Jia Zhi and Jia Su more and more.

However, Jia Zhi only felt that it was ridiculous. The recent events were just men's lustful nature.

After a while, those concubines, who were originally good at using their looks, would also start to use the rouge from the Color Makeup Pavilion. Those men would still revert to their old ways.

Of course, this would be good for the business of the Color Makeup Pavilion, but it was hard for her to be happy when she saw her elder sister indulging in such an illusion.

Unfortunately, Jia Gu was currently in high spirits, so these words were in vain for her to hear.

The carriages moved forward one by one. After about an hour, Jia Su and Mother Lin's carriage finally arrived in front of the Color Makeup Pavilion.

Jia Zhi looked out the window and happened to see Jia Su's carriage.

Before she got married, she had been out of the house a few times, so she naturally recognized that this carriage came from Rongguo Province.

Jia Su was the only person who would still ride a carriage of this standard.

Jia Zhi said goodbye to Jia Gu and the other guests, then quickly went downstairs to pick up Jia Su.

But when she went downstairs, her gaze was immediately attracted by the old madame beside Jia Su. She could tell that the old madame had an extraordinary temperament.

She walked forward and looked at Jia Su in confusion: "Third younger sister, who is this madame?"

Jia Su hurriedly introduced: "This is Marchioness Wen 'an."

Jia Zhi immediately realized Mother Lin's identity and became much more respectful. She quickly led her to the VIP room on the second floor.

-

After a period of time, the Color Makeup Pavilion's business was on the right track. Although it wasn't as popular as it was at the beginning, the daily flow of customers was still very impressive.

It wasn't that no one had any ideas about the Color Makeup Pavilion, but when they discovered that this small rouge shop was backed by the four influential families of Rongguo Province, the Xiu Country, the Marquis' Household, and the Count of Wen 'an's Household, they all gave up on this idea.

Because of this, Jia Su had a lot of free time. She only needed to lie in her room and collect money every day.

But today was a little different.

Not long after breakfast, Cui Yan pattered into the room from outside the courtyard. His bangs were wet with sweat, and he didn't have the slightest bit of image.

Chi Xia hurriedly stopped him: "Cui Yan, stop!

You're so impudent in front of the young miss. Are you itching for a beating? "

Cui Yan quickly stopped and stood by the door, but his eyes were still astonishingly bright: "Young miss, someone from the Lin family came!"

Jia Su didn't react for a moment: "Why did someone from the Lin family come?"

Cui Yan cried out in alarm: "Young miss, the six rites of engagement!"

Although the Jia family and the Lin family already had a verbal agreement, the engagement could be overturned at any time without the three letters and six rites, even if everyone knew about it.

Cui Yan had always felt that it was unreal when the Lin family's joyous event fell on Jia Su's head. Several months had passed, but the six rites still hadn't been carried out. She had always felt that the engagement might be ruined.

But her young miss's flowering period had already been delayed. How would she get married in the future?

Moreover, she didn't want her young miss to lose this engagement with Tanhua Lin.

But she only dared to ponder these little thoughts in her heart. She didn't dare to let anyone else know.

Now, the two families had finally begun the formal engagement process. How could she not be happy?

Not to mention Cui Yan, even Chi Xia, who had always been calm and unflustered, had a bit of a blush on her face.

Obviously, this kind of news made more than one person happy.

Jia Su was still a bit confused: "Didn't they already have an engagement before?"

In order to deal with a little Lin Ruhai, he even dared to give up a second-rank official like the Chancellor. She didn't know if this prince was too careless.

Or could it be that there was something behind this that they hadn't thought of?

He pulled open the curtains of the carriage window and looked at the empty street. His expression was obscure and difficult to understand.

Soon, the carriage entered the Forbidden City.

The Holy Emperor of Qi brought up a few important matters that he had been paying attention to during this period of time. After confirming that everything was going well, he nodded to the head eunuch next to him.

The head eunuch immediately raised his voice: "If there's something to report, I'll report. If there's nothing to report, I'll dismiss the court —"

Jia Jing hurriedly stepped forward: "Reporting to the Emperor, this subject has a report to report."

The Holy Emperor of Qi looked at Jia Jing in surprise and nodded: "What's the matter?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, this subject wants to impeach the Chancellor, Hu Yao, for condoning his family's evil servants to forcibly occupy the people's fields, pillage the villages, and kill and injure many people. Also, his son forcibly separated an unmarried couple, forcibly abducted a woman, injured her fiancé, and ordered the medicine shop in the city to not treat him, which led to his death from serious injuries …"

Jia Jing listed dozens of crimes that Hu Yao had committed before stopping. The little eunuch standing at the bottom of the stairs hurriedly came forward to take the report and the evidence that Jia Jing had collected. He walked up the stairs in a few steps and handed it over to the head eunuch.

Jia Jing didn't return to his position until the Emperor personally took the report.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jia Jing wouldn't give up until he completely suppressed Hu Yao.

The other officials couldn't help but look askance. They were curious as to how Hu Yao had offended Jia Jing. Ever since he entered the Imperial Censor's Office, he had only participated in some trivial matters and had never offended anyone.

The Holy Emperor of Qi narrowed his eyes. After receiving the report, he opened it and asked: "Is Hu Yao here?"

Hu Yao hurriedly stepped forward: "This subject is here!"

"Imperial Censor Jia accuses you of these crimes. Do you have anything to refute?"

Hu Yao was drenched in cold sweat. He directly knelt on the ground: "This subject pleads guilty."

Jia Jing's eyebrows twitched. He couldn't help but look at Hu Yao. However, he found that although Hu Yao's face was full of fear, deep in his eyes, there was a sense of 'it's finally here'.

It was as if Hu Yao had already expected that Jia Jing would accuse him today.

At this moment, Jia Jing had a bad premonition in his heart. He turned his head to look at Jia Daishan, who was standing in the generals' camp.

Jia Daishan just happened to turn his head. When he met Jia Jing's gaze, he only shook his head slightly.

Jia Jing's heart was at ease. He obediently lowered his head and continued to be invisible.

The Holy Emperor of Qi flipped through the report. The more he flipped through it, the angrier he became. In the end, he lost his composure and threw the report in front of Hu Yao: "Plead guilty?"

Hu Yao trembled and didn't dare to say a word.

The Holy Emperor of Qi was so angry that he laughed. His gaze swept past Hu Yao and landed on the princes standing at the forefront: "Hu Yao said that he pleads guilty.

My good sons, what do you think? "

The princes were alarmed. They didn't know how this matter had anything to do with them.

The Crown Prince was the first to speak: "This subject thinks that Hu Yao's son is guilty of the most heinous crimes. According to the law, he should be beheaded. The Lord Hu failed to discipline him and should be exiled!"

The other princes didn't dare to offend the Holy Emperor of Qi and hurriedly agreed.

The Holy Emperor of Qi said indifferently: "Oh?

His son should be beheaded. Hu Yao should be exiled?

Do you all think so? "He singled out the Third Prince:" Third Prince, do you also think so? "

The Third Prince's heart skipped a beat: "This subject agrees!"

"Ha!"

The Holy Emperor of Qi sneered. His expression was dignified without being angry: "Pick up Imperial Censor Jia's report and take a look."

The Third Prince became more and more worried, but he didn't dare to disobey the Holy Emperor of Qi. He could only walk in front of Hu Yao and bend down to pick up the report.

He stood in place and flipped through the report. However, after a short while, the Third Prince knelt down beside Hu Yao in a panic: "Imperial Father, this report says that Liu Hu helped Hu Yao's son commit evil and reaped benefits from it. This subject didn't know about this beforehand!"

Liu Hu's father hurriedly stepped forward: "Your Majesty, there must be an inside story. My son couldn't have done such a heinous thing."

The other princes looked at each other in dismay. They didn't dare to believe the Third Prince's words.

Liu Hu was the only son of the Third Prince's maternal grandfather. Because of his ability, he controlled most of the power of the Third Prince's maternal family.

If he was really involved in Hu Yao's matter, it wouldn't end well for the Third Prince. This would be greatly detrimental to his future plans.

Only the First Prince, who stood shoulder to shoulder with the Crown Prince, frowned, as if he didn't understand.

However, this wasn't worth much consideration. In any case, the Third Prince had his eyes on the chair under his Imperial Father's butt. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to cut off part of his power, it would also be beneficial to him.

Thinking of this, he tilted his head to look in the direction of the minister on the other side and nodded.

Not long after, another Imperial Censor stood up from behind Jia Jing: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this subject also has a report regarding Lord Hu's crimes."

The Holy Emperor of Qi's expression became more and more unfathomable: "Bring it up!"

The Imperial Censor originally opened his mouth to speak, but when he heard this, he could only hand the report to the young eunuch and then retreat.

The Holy Emperor flipped open the report. He was too lazy to say anything more. He straightforwardly and neatly ordered: "Drag Hu Yao down and behead him!

Have the Supreme Court strictly investigate Liu Hu. If the evidence is conclusive, act according to the law. "

Act according to the law?

If the evidence was found, was the Emperor really going to behead Liu Hu?

The entire court was shocked.

More than an hour after the court was adjourned, the Supreme Court finally released the news. It turned out that Hu Yao had actually stretched his hands into the Jiangnan Salt Policy. In just two short years, he had madly seized hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and the majority of this money had been sent to Liu Hu.

If Hu Yao had been beheaded, how could Liu Hu get away with it?

If it weren't for the Third Prince's face, the Emperor would probably have ordered him to be beheaded during the court session today.

At night, Jia Jing came to Rongguo Province with a belly full of doubts: "Second Uncle, today's matter …"

"We were used as tools." Jia Daishan's face was ashen.

Jia Jing was shocked: "Who was it?"

Jia Daishan shook his head: "I don't know who it was for the time being.

That Hu Yao's son had eyes but didn't recognize Mount Tai. He kidnapped a civilian girl and actually managed to kidnap a subordinate of the First Prince. "

Jia Jing was at a loss for a moment, then immediately reacted: "That fiancé who died of illness?"

"He was the son of the First Prince's trusted aide. Because his father failed in the imperial examinations, he didn't have an official position.

That Liu Hu took a fancy to his daughter-in-law and saw that his family had no power or influence, so he kidnapped a civilian girl. "

"In order to appease that aide, the First Prince had no choice but to avenge him and send Liu Hu's family to prison."

After thinking carefully, Jia Jing had another guess: "Was there someone else behind this?"

Jia Daishan shook his head and sighed: "I don't know …"

Jia Jing pursed his lips: "Second Uncle, you should have received the news before I submitted the memorial, right?

Why did you rush to take action when you knew that we were being used as tools to deal with the Third Prince? "

"Because we had no choice."

Jia Daishan raised his head and looked in the direction of the Forbidden City. "It's a fact that Ruhai was schemed against by Hu Yao. If we don't punish him as an example to others, we will be in trouble in the future.

Moreover, we belong to the Crown Prince's camp and are enemies with the other princes. It's necessary to deal with the Third Prince and the other princes. "

However, they couldn't rest easy as long as they didn't know who was behind all this.

It was easy to dodge an open attack, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.

Moreover, this hidden arrow was laced with poison, and the person who shot it was even more intelligent.

"But won't people think that we are working with the First Prince?"

"I have already explained to the Crown Prince in advance."

"Is Hu Yao really the Third Prince's subordinate?"

"Even if he was before, he definitely isn't after offending the First Prince.

The Third Prince is a very stingy and cowardly person … "

Cui Yan stared: "What …"

Hu Yu wasn't the only maidservant in this courtyard. How could she leave her Young Miss here just because something had happened?

She didn't see any other maids coming to serve her.

Cui Yan was still indignant. Chi Xia helplessly pulled her: "Cui Yan, shut up. This is the Fourth Miss's courtyard!"

Wasn't she afraid that the Fourth Miss's maid would hear her and tell the Fourth Miss?

Cui Yan pursed her lips and reluctantly shut her mouth. However, her eyes couldn't stop glancing at Jia Min's room.

Jia Su couldn't help laughing. She rubbed Cui Yan's forehead and walked inside.

If she didn't hear it wrong, the person who screamed just now should be Jia Min, who had already laid down to sleep.

Cui Yan didn't dare to say anything more. She and Chi Xia quickly followed.

Jia Min's bedroom and the guest hall were separated by a beaded curtain and a screen. After the three of them entered, they could only hear the sound of persuasion from the bedroom. They couldn't see anyone.

Cui Yan walked past Jia Su and opened the beaded curtain first. Jia Su followed closely behind her.

Bypassing the screen, the three of them immediately saw the lingering fear on Jia Min's face.

Jia Su looked at Jia Min's sweat-soaked pajamas and finally at her sweat-drenched face: "Did you have a nightmare?"

To be honest, even though she had seen all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women in her previous life, Jia Min's appearance was still one of the prettiest in her impression.

The key point was that she was as beautiful as Little Sister Lin. She was delicate and had no offensive power.

In the past, Jia Min's life had been smooth sailing. She was the only daughter of the first wife of this generation and was doted on by her parents. Therefore, she was in high spirits and gave others a feeling of confidence and nobility.

Very few people noticed that her facial features didn't match her temperament.

After her rebirth, Jia Min's confidence and nobility had decreased a lot. There was always a touch of melancholy lingering between her eyebrows.

Now that she had just woken up from a nightmare, her beautiful eyes were full of panic and fear. It was easy to arouse people's desire to protect her.

It was also at this moment that Jia Su connected the woman in front of her with the peerless beauty Jiang Zhu in Dream of the Red Chamber.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Sure enough, this is what Little Sister Lin's mother should be like.

But to have a nightmare on the eve of a wedding is always inauspicious …

Jia Min's face was pale and her body was weak. But when she saw Jia Su, she still forced a smile, "Third Sister, come and sit down!"

Jia Su replied with a "hmm" and then turned to Chi Xia, "Chi Xia, bring the dowry I gave to Fourth Sister."

Then she looked at Jia Min, "Fourth Sister, you know that I didn't save much money in these years, so …"

Chi Xia came forward with a two-palm-wide mahogany box and opened it in front of Jia Su and the others.

As Jia Su said, the dowry she gave was not very valuable. The small mahogany box only contained two not-so-exquisite white orchid jade hairpins.

Jia Min's dressing box was filled with jewelry that was even rarer and more precious than these two jade hairpins.

But when she saw these two jade hairpins, she still took them carefully, "Huyu, this is Third Sister's gift. Put it carefully in the dressing box and don't forget it tomorrow."

Huyu nodded and took the mahogany box and put it away carefully.

Jia Min and Jia Su sat opposite each other, but they didn't say anything for a while.

Jia Min murmured and finally put down her pride of being the mistress of the house for more than 20 years. She apologized to her sister who was much younger than her, "Third Sister, I was muddle-headed when I robbed you of your marriage. I haven't said sorry to you for so long. I'm really sorry."

Because of her own thoughts, she disrupted the trajectory of Third Sister's life and made her happy and bright life unpredictable. She didn't know whether it was good or bad …

Even if she knew that with Third Sister's ability, after marrying Ruhai who was better than Dingnan Houfu's son, it was very likely that she would have a better life than her previous life.

But the future was so long. How could she guarantee that there wouldn't be an accident like her robbing the marriage?

Jia Min had been very guilty. During this time, she kept dreaming about her previous life. Among them, she dreamed about Third Sister's happy life in the beginning, but it took a turn for the worse because of her interference.

Just now, she dreamed about Third Sister who hadn't been pregnant for many years after marrying into the Lin family. Even if she took concubines for her husband, she still chose to commit suicide under the attack of rumors and the concubines in the Lin family.

It was also because of this that she woke up.

When she woke up and saw that Jia Su was alive and well, Jia Min calmed down and made up her mind to make up for her mistakes.

Because of her guilt, Jia Min drove the maid out of the room and carefully took out a stack of rice paper full of Hairpin-style Small Regular Script from under the pillow, "Third Sister, this is what my … mother found out about the Lin family and the Tanhua. Now you need it. Keep it. There will be a time when you need it."

Jia Su glanced at it and didn't refuse.

-

The next day was Jia Min's wedding. There were many guests.

As Jia Min's older sister, Jia Su quietly stayed in her courtyard and chatted with the maids. She didn't go to her courtyard to join in the fun.

Because of Jia Daishan and his wife's attitude, no one in the Lin family had any objections.

Jia Shu originally thought that no one would come to disturb her today, so she had already made arrangements for today.

Wake up, eat breakfast, chat, eat lunch, sleep, eat dinner, and sleep.

She didn't make an exquisite pig girl in her previous life, but she could make up for it in this life.

Jia Su was very happy in her heart.

Who knew that not long after breakfast, Jia Daishan's manservant came over to pass on a message, "The Lin family's Tanhua came over today and brought a gift for Third Miss.

Master asked if she wanted to see Tanhua Lin. "

If she wanted to see him, today was the best opportunity.

The social background of Dream of the Red Chamber was a combination of the Ming and Qing dynasties. But whether it was the Ming or Qing dynasties, the etiquette was very strict. If one wasn't careful, they could force someone to death.

Engaged men and women couldn't meet directly, even if their elders were present. They had to be separated by a screen or bead curtain. They also couldn't talk too much.

This kind of meeting didn't have much use in understanding their future marriage partner. Jia Su's attitude towards this was always to refuse.

Rongguo Province's rules were lax, so they didn't mind these customs.

But Jia Daishan was worried that Lin Ruhai, who had studied the four books and five classics, would mind. So he didn't try to create an opportunity for them to meet.

Today, he sent the manservant to call for them. Presumably, he asked Lin Ruhai and he didn't mind.

Jia Su went to the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the garden to wait.

After a while, she saw Jia Daishan's manservant leading a refined and elegant young man slowly walking towards her.

Every time they wanted Miss to please Master, she would have a 'stomachache'. After so many times, she didn't even change her excuse.

Their Miss clearly wasn't as afraid of Master as her sisters, but she just didn't make any progress.

But if their Miss didn't make any progress, as maids, it was useless no matter how anxious they were.

Cui Yan was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Miss, your husband is about to be snatched away. Why aren't you worried!"

Chi Xia couldn't help but advise Jia Su, "Miss, if we asked Miss to please Master and find a better husband, it would be fine if Miss didn't want to. After all, the other two Misses married into similar families. Even if you went, it wouldn't change anything. Master might even think that Miss was dissatisfied with Madam and thus dislike Miss.

But now your marriage is ruined because of Fourth Miss. No matter what, Master has to give Miss an explanation! "

Jia Su glanced at Cui Yan and Chi Xia, and then collapsed on the bed, "Then I'll wait for Master to give me an explanation. Be good, let's not bother Master, lest we annoy him and offend Madam.

What if Madam does something to my dowry? How am I going to reason with her? "

No matter how hard she fought for the marriage, it was just that.

There was a fixed dowry, and in order to shut her mouth, Madam Jia would not be stingy with the money.

After all, she was going to marry out of the family. If she said something unspeakable in her husband's family, Madam Jia couldn't be so far away.

No matter how Chi Xia and Cui Yan persuaded, Jia Su just wouldn't go.

Just when Chi Xia and Cui Yan were about to give up on Miss's marriage, they didn't expect things to take a turn. Madam Jia personally sent someone to inform them that the next month's wedding would be held as usual, but the bride would be changed.

Yes, it wasn't the groom, it was the bride that no one expected.

Jia Su couldn't hold back and spat out a mouthful of tea in front of Yuan Yang.

Chi Xia glanced at Jia Su indifferently. While cleaning up the mess for her, she scolded Cui Yan, "Cui Yan, what did you do? You brought the tea to Miss before it was warm. If there's a next time, I'll send you home directly!"

She turned to Yuan Yang and explained, "I've made a fool of myself in front of Sister Yuan Yang. Cui Yan has always been careless. I've told her many times, but she didn't listen. I didn't expect that she scalded Miss this time. I'll teach her a lesson later."

Cui Yan simply admitted her mistake, "Miss, I was wrong. I won't do it again."

Yuan Yang was well aware of the truth, but she calmly looked at Chi Xia lying through her teeth. She didn't intend to expose her.

As a servant girl, she should be prepared to take the blame for her master at any time.

Jia Su wasn't used to their way of doing things. She felt guilty and hurriedly changed the topic, "Sister Yuan Yang, are you kidding me?

Both of my sisters are already married, and there's no concubine's daughter next door in Ningguo Manor.

Who are you going to change the bride to? "

At the mention of this, Yuan Yang's expression was indescribable, "Madam said that Miss Si and Prince Zhou are in love."

"…"

The room was silent for a long time.

Jia Su said, "… Then, then congratulations, Little Sister.

Ha, haha, hahaha … "

Jia Su was so embarrassed that she was about to cry. Chi Xia and Cui Yan didn't dare to say much, but their expressions were somewhat indescribable.

Miss Si and Prince Zhou are in love?

As long as Yuan Yang thought about how Prince Zhou was Miss Si's fiancé before, she still boldly ran to Miss Si and said that Prince Zhou and Miss Si were in love … Even if Miss Si's status was noble and she had the right to be willful, Yuan Yang still felt embarrassed after saying this.

Yuan Yang felt uncomfortable staying in this courtyard. She could only lower her head and count the ants on the ground.

Cui Yan was outspoken and hurriedly asked the question she was most concerned about, "Then what about my family's Miss's marriage?"

Yuan Yang was stunned. Her expression was as if she had eaten feces, "Master said that the marriage between Rongguo Province and the Lin family was not allowed to change.

Madam was kind and allowed Miss Si to be registered under her name. "

If it weren't for Miss Si's reputation, Madam Jia would never agree to register Jia Su, a concubine's daughter raised by a concubine's mother, as the legitimate daughter.

Jia Su was older than Jia Min. If she was registered as the legitimate daughter, her status would surpass Jia Min's and she would become the eldest legitimate daughter of Rongguo Province.

Not to mention other things, in terms of dowry, Jia Min would fall behind Jia Su. Many of the dowry that Madam Jia had originally prepared for her would have to be canceled.

Jia Su took advantage of it for free.

However, this matter couldn't be blamed on Jia Su. She was well-behaved and prepared for the wedding in the courtyard. She didn't even leave the courtyard. Even if Madam Jia wanted to slander Jia Min, she couldn't stand. After the incident, Jia Min seemed to have been bewitched by Zhou Yu. In front of Jia Daishan and Madam Jia, she made a solemn vow of undying love.

Jia Daishan was so angry that he almost vomited blood because of Jia Min.

Madam Jia wasn't any better.

In fact, at this point, if Jia Min insisted that there was no relationship between the two of them, the Marquis's Mansion would never offend Jia Daishan for a concubine's son due to their status in Rongguo Province.

However, Jia Min said in front of Jia Daishan that the two of them already had physical intimacy.

Jia Daishan wanted to marry Jia Min into the Lin family because he saw Lin Ruhai's status in both the noble and noble families. He felt that he had a bright future. Therefore, he wanted to form a marriage alliance with him so that they could help each other in the future.

He didn't want to make enemies with him!

Jia Min wanted to completely destroy the marriage alliance between the two families!

Jia Daishan was so angry that he picked up the vine whip and wanted to whip Jia Min. If Madam Jia didn't suggest that Jia Su be the legitimate daughter in exchange for marriage, Jia Min might have been lying in bed recuperating or beaten half to death or even died.

Jia Daishan was born as a general. Jia Min's weak body couldn't withstand his anger.

However, things had already happened. Even if he was extremely disappointed with Jia Min, Jia Daishan could only think of a way to deal with the aftermath.

Fortunately, the Lin family chose to form a marriage alliance with Rongguo Province because of the power and connections in Rongguo Province. Although the legitimate daughter becoming a concubine's daughter made them unhappy, Jia Daishan promised that she would be the legitimate daughter and marry him as the eldest legitimate daughter in Rongguo Province. At the same time, he also promised Lin Ruhai that he would be promoted from the Hanlin Academy within two years. Naturally, they could only agree.

The Lin family agreed and the matter was resolved.

Therefore, the marriage between Jia Su and Zhou Yu, which was originally scheduled for next month, became the marriage between Jia Min and Zhou Yu.

Not only did she deny her problem, but she also praised Lin Ruhai. At the same time, she also pointed out to her future mother-in-law's views on Lin Ruhai's relationship with men.

What a talent!

Jia Su dug out the good points of this page boy and the idea of poaching him began to stir in her heart.

Lin Ruhai didn't feel it at all.

He lowered his head. The red on his face hadn't faded away. He stuttered, "Ah, yes, yes, mother also said that he was good at reading books. He was good at speaking. He was good at taking care of things."

Jia Su's fingers moved. She wanted to reach out and pinch Lin Ruhai's face to see if he would blush again.

But after thinking about it, she gave up this idea.

After all, it was the first time they met. It wouldn't be good if she scared him like this.

Lin Ruhai: "…" I was already scared, okay?

She turned around and took a scented sachet with rough stitches from the tray in Cui Yan's hand. "This is the first time I learned embroidery. I hope you won't dislike it."

The first time, no matter how small it was, was special enough.

After transmigrating into the body of the original owner, she worked hard to learn embroidery in order not to be exposed in the future.

This scented sachet was indeed the first time she practiced embroidery. It was a work she embroidered by herself.

At that time, she thought it was ugly, but she kept it because it had a special meaning.

Sure enough, after Lin Ruhai took the scented sachet, his cheeks began to blush again. "The first, the first embroidery work, is it really for me?"

He looked at Jia Su with eyes that were surprisingly bright.

Because he was so surprised, he forgot to use a humble address for Jia Su.

Jia Su couldn't help but want to tease him. "Yes, I left this scented sachet for my future husband."

Lin Ruhai's face was hot. "I, I will treat you well in the future."

Jia Su smiled with curved eyes. "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Although she felt that a man's promise was not trustworthy, when it was said by a handsome and pure youth, it still made her happy.

After all, they were engaged. If the two of them spent too much time together, it would be easy for others to gossip.

The two of them said a few more words and then separated.

Lin Ruhai took the page boy back to the front courtyard to attend the wedding ceremony. Jia Su leisurely returned to her courtyard.

For Lin Ruhai, there was nothing to see at the wedding ceremony, especially when one of the hosts was his original fiancée.

After the groom took the bride, Lin Ruhai said goodbye to Jia Daishan and left first.

The Lin family originally had three generations of marquises, but because of His Holiness and Great Virtue, he surpassed the previous generation and gave Lin Ruhai's father an extra generation of marquises.

But in Lin Ruhai's generation, he could only be demoted and only received the title of a first class earl.

But at the same time, because of His Holiness and Great Virtue, there were so many nobles in the capital that the title of earl could not intimidate others.

The Lin family also didn't have any clan members to help. After Father Lin's early death, Lin Ruhai gradually found it difficult to support himself alone. No one could plan for his future.

Fortunately, Father Lin had the foresight to let Lin Ruhai study the Four Books and Five Classics from a young age to prepare for the imperial examinations. This was why he had the glory of winning the third place in the imperial examinations at the age of seventeen.

Now that it was a time of peace, the imperial court gradually valued the civil and despised the military. Lin Ruhai was backed by nobles and had a proper background in the imperial examinations. Naturally, his future was promising.

But the Lin family's lack of people was still a shortcoming for him when he entered the imperial court in the future.

If there was no one to help him after he became an official, his official career would be much more difficult. That was why Mother Lin arranged for him to marry into Rongguo Province, the head of the Four Great Families.
