C15

Afterwards, the things that the Xiao family sent over were all kept in a book in the storehouse. They said that they would return them to her when she reached the age of 15.

In the end, her marriage to Mu Yufeng resulted in her losing all of those treasures to the Second Madam. In the end, she was only able to cling onto a maid's body and die.

Linglong carefully took out the jade ruyi from the dressing case. It was exuberant with green and clear and bright, especially the jade butterfly carving that was vivid and lifelike. The tassels hanging below were also carved with fine jade.

Although it was missing a hairpin, it still didn't affect its beauty. It made Du Mu Zhou look like a dewdrop on a lotus leaf, as smooth as water, tranquil and serene.

"There are many madams who came today. I think it's better to just accept this step." Du Mu Zhou extended his hand and shook off the motion above his head.

The Empress had been attracted to one step by the Emperor, so she loved it, and had ordered that only a woman with a title could wear a one-winged step. Only first rank mistresses, as well as nobles and princesses in the palace, could wear a Three-Winged Golden Wing, while only empress could wear a Six-Winged Phoenix.

The rank of a secondary concubine was not allowed to be shaken by gold. In order to comfort Du Ruanyu, she had spent a large sum of money to create a similar peacock hairpin, but she had never thought that the one the other party wanted was not her golden peacock, but her identity as the sixth prince's consort.

Du Mu Zhou withdrew his gaze. The head of Ru Yi was given to her by the Xiao family. They gave her a set of jewelry that she didn't know anything about and didn't have a mother's guidance. Wasn't that waiting for her to make a big mess?

The Duke of Xiao had a son, Mu Yigao, before he had even gotten married. No one knew who his mother was. He only knew that he and the Grand Princess's daughter were born on the same day and that the young prefecture lord died when he was born. Mu Yi Shao was adopted as an adopted son by the Grand Princess and had the Emperor grant him a surname.

After so many years, the Grand Princess could no longer reproduce after injuring her body, so she was especially fond of Mu Shao. There have been rumors among the people that Mu Yigao is the illegitimate son of the Grand Princess and the Duke of Xiao.

Unfortunately, there was no evidence. The Duke of Xiao quickly married his first wife, the Zhou family, and gave birth to a second son. Rumors were also suppressed, but Mu Yinshao's position as the eldest son of the Xiao family was always controversial.

Du Mu Zhou's fingers fiddled with the bead as he smiled. It seemed that this unmarried daughter-in-law of his was a great threat to the Duke's wife. He had started to scheme against her so early on.

He looked at Du Mu Zhou in the mirror. Linglong couldn't help but shiver. She didn't know why, but she felt that Miss seemed to have changed a lot, but she couldn't say where.

Du Mu Zhou brought Ling Long to pay his respects to the madame, and the madame left him to eat breakfast.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was a bustling place, but Yu Rui was extremely depressed inside. The maidservants were all very cautious, afraid that they would make a mistake.

Hong Yuan walked in from outside. Looking at the fragments on the ground, she said anxiously, "My second young miss, what's wrong with you?"

Today, Du Mu Zhou brought along a set of jade like jewelry to pay his respects to the madame. When he was halfway to his room, Du Ruanyu came back. Second Madam knew that Du Ruyu was angry and asked her to bring a set of white jade lily headdress.

Du Ruanyu grabbed the rouge box on the table and threw it onto the ground, "I know it's Grandmother's birthday and Mother isn't even willing to buy me a decent set of face. I don't want to bring these trash."

Hong Yuan put down the box in her hands, picked up the comb on the table, and began to comb Du Ruanyu's hair. "Second Miss, the Madam had a servant bring you a set of Mascot Cloud Pavilion's headdress. It will definitely make you look gorgeous."
