"Ya Er, it's done. I'm fine. I'm back, I'm fine." The Xiao family's old patriarch comforted her as he held her hand.

Lian Shiya finally said, "Mom, why don't you think of a way to save me? Why aren't you coming to see me?"

"Ya Er, it's not that I don't have any ideas, I've thought of everything, but …" "It's really …"

"Do you know? During the month I spent in the princess' palace, the princess said that since I liked this set of clothes, she would give it to me and not bother about it anymore. However, she wanted me to wear this outfit every day, so I didn't take it off. I wore it for an entire month! Those lackeys from the princess' mansion kept calling me their county lord, but when they turned their heads, they all laughed at me, saying that they had never seen a county lord like me! Now, the word 'county magistrate' was like a joke and was being mocked by others. Mother, I've had enough. I don't want to be a county magistrate anymore. " She felt a kind of irony now, no matter who it was that called the county governor, so much so that she felt uncomfortable at the word.

"…" When the Xiao Clan heard that Lian Shiya had received such a great insult in the Princess's estate, they gritted their teeth and bitterly lowered their voices. "That woman is really poisonous!"

"Then how did Third Miss come over this month?" Senior Servant Zhen stood to the side, wiping away her tears.

"Learn the rules!" As she spoke of this, Lian Shiya became even more furious. "The princess has hired a teacher's senior servant from the palace who specifically taught me the rules and learned them for an entire month."

"What are the rules?" The Xiao Clan asked.

"Just some basic etiquette. Kneel, sit, stand, speak, learn everything you say. I heard that this Jiang mama was even someone close to the empress dowager, so she was extremely strict.

The first day, you made me learn how to kneel and always told me that my kneeling was not good, either because my back was not straight, or because my head was lifted too high, or because my body was off balance. If I wasn't able to kneel properly, then I would have to kneel continuously, and every time I would kneel for a few hours.

Lian Shiya cried as she spoke. Madam Xiao reached out to touch her knee; indeed, the originally delicate area felt hard through the cloth. It had turned into a thick cocoon. One could only imagine how many times she had kneeled these days!

Let me stand in the middle of the lobby with a cup of tea in my hand. If the tea is placed parallel to my waist, it can't even be a little higher or lower, and my hand will soon feel sore. Put it down a little, and she'll say start over and start over. I said, there's no need to torment others like this. Jiang mama then said that the princesses and empress of the palace followed the rules like that as well, does the county governor not want to learn? How could I dare say no? I could only carry a cup of tea from morning until the day after, and finally fell to the ground. My legs were numb and I couldn't even take a step, but I was still carried back to my room.

I have to learn how to walk. I have to walk from one end of the garden to the other. If I don't walk properly, I have to walk again. I have to walk again and again.

"Mom, I've had enough. I've had enough. I want to die everyday …"

Lian Shiya threw herself into the Xiao Clan's embrace with tears streaming down her face. When the Xiao Clan heard this, their hearts felt as if they were being pierced by needles!

This caused Lian Shiya to be tormented to the point of not being able to say anything to her. This was because her reasoning was extremely righteous: Carry out the rules!

"Ya Er, it must have been hard on you. Princess An Guo is truly a formidable person. She did not spend a single needle and thread on you, and instead tortured you to the point of collapse." Madam Xiao used a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on Lian Shiya's face.

"Mom, I don't have the face to go out and face others anymore. I don't have the face anymore." Lian Shiya was heartbroken.

"No, Ya'er." "The scariest thing about a person is that you underestimate yourself. You must pull yourself together and live your life as if nothing had happened. Lian Ruyue wants to see you as a joke, so don't let her see you as a joke. Lian Ruyue wants to see you cry, then you laugh! You want others to know that I, Xiao Xianmin, cannot defeat your daughter! In the future, you still need to dive deeper, just like Lian Ruyue, and silently make yourself stronger. Then, you can kill her and catch her by surprise, understand? "

"But, but …" "The Princess of An also said that in the future, I can't wear red, I can't even wear red during weddings. I can only wear white, and once this news spreads, who would dare to marry me in the future? Who would dare to marry someone who married and wore white, who would be so unlucky?"

"…" Mrs Xiao gritted her teeth, enduring the humiliation as she said, "Ya Er, don't be afraid. However, if the person you marry in the future holds a higher position than her, then your position will be higher than hers. As for what you should wear when you marry, it is not up to her to decide. At that time, she will have to kneel down and bow down before you! "

When Lian Shiya heard this, she finally stopped crying. Blinking her reddened eyes, she asked, "Mother, is there still a possibility today?"

Lady Xiao smiled and raised her hand to smooth out Lian Shiya's messy hair. She said, "Didn't Mother tell you the story of how you went to bed when you were young? From today onwards, you have to learn to abstain from humiliation, to quietly wait for the right moment, do you understand? "

"…" Lian Shiya nodded, as if she understood something.

"Right now, the person we have to deal with is Lian Yue Yue. As long as we can get rid of her, the obstacles in front of us will be much smaller." After thinking for a while, the Xiao family's Lian Yue Yue was their number one enemy.

"But how can I get rid of her?" Now, when Lian Shiya spoke of Lian Yue, she felt a chill in the bottom of her heart. She only felt that she was too strange!

"Wait, there will be a chance." She twisted the handkerchief in her hand and exerted her strength.

After the new year, it was the first day of the Chinese New Year.

At this moment, Lady Xiao finally found an opportunity. A message came from the palace: Imperial Concubine Su was to return to peace on the last day of the Origin Festival. At that time, she would also bring Thirteenth Princess Feng Yunyao along with her.

The entire Prime Minister's Mansion became nervous, and under the supervision of Lian Yan Qing, the Moon Observation Platform was renovated without restraint. On top of the original foundation, they added a flower pavilion, a cruise ship, and even transplanted water lotuses into the pond. At the same time, the courtyard that Imperial Concubine Fu lived in before her death was thoroughly renovated by over a hundred craftsmen every day.

Every corner of the mansion was decorated with lanterns and dancing phoenixes.

When there were still ten days until the Spring Festival, Eunuch Feng Degui was sent by Shufei to the Prime Minister's Estate to check on the progress of the affairs there. He also instructed everyone on how to receive the carriage, how to arrange the banquet, and so on.

Even the people in the manor were worried and didn't dare to make any mistakes.

Even his mother had specially bought new clothes, jewelry, shoes, and boots for all the rooms. Even Yan Qing begged esteemed wangfei to send a senior tutor to the estate, so everyone in the estate would act according to the rules and be very cautious.

Even his mother summoned everyone from their rooms to the Qingan Courtyard, instructing them to do their best when Imperial Concubine Fu arrived. She even said:

According to the news from the palace, Imperial Concubine Su will be in the Prime Minister's Estate for around ten days or so. I calculated and determined that Princess Thirteen's birthday would also be passed in the palace. At that time, all of you should prepare some gifts.
