"Grandmother, there's still some time before the banquet begins. The plum blossoms in our garden have bloomed, so I would like to invite the ladies to take a look." Eldest Miss Xue's clear voice sounded.

"Go, take good care of the ladies." Eldest young miss was usually very steady, otherwise she wouldn't have said that to her.

"Grandmother, don't worry." He told the elders of the various young mistresses that only the young miss of the Zhang Family seemed somewhat unwilling. After being persuaded by Lady Zhang a few times, she followed him to the middle of the young mistresses. Not long after, she stood together with the Third Miss of the Xue Family and whispered a few words between them from time to time.

Big Miss Xue took a long time to get down from the stage. The ladies and I were already standing together, talking about what we usually did at home. Seeing that Big Miss Xue had returned, everyone went out after squatting down and saluting. The two ladies from the Jiang family were always very friendly as they surrounded me and asked me questions.

Miss Xue led Miss Xue and Miss Xue to follow Miss Xue while skipping along behind her. Miss Xue left Miss Xue and walked behind the Fourth Miss and the Fifth Miss with an awkward expression on her face. Miss Jiang and I walked while Miss Xue and Miss Zhang slowly walked behind us. Miss Xue and Miss Chang talked in whispers, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

"Ling`er!" It seemed that Miss Xue had also noticed her second sister walking alone on the road. She felt a little lonely, so she stopped and quickly walked up to Miss Xue.

"I'm kind of busy. Can you help me?" Eldest Miss Xue purposefully raised her voice. Second Miss Xue's face was a bit red as she said, "Elder sister, please do as you say."

"Take Qiu He to the kitchen to have a look!" And it never came. " With that, Miss Xue left with the maidservants by her side. Miss Xue was the first child of her parents, so the Xue family must have put in a lot of effort to nurture her. From her trust in her, it could be seen that the banquet of letting her take all the young misses was only to prepare them for the future. At this time, Miss Xue let Second Miss Xue participate, but she wanted to tell everyone that Second Miss Xue was being valued by this family.

Second Miss Xue was a smart person and saw through her sister's intentions very early on. Although she was a bit shy, she could still be said to be very generous. She turned around and led three or five maidservants into the kitchen.

"Do you think that hugging Big Sis's leg can make others think highly of you?" A sneer came from behind, followed by the giggles of Third Miss and Miss Zhang.

Second Miss stopped and opened her mouth, but no words came out. Fourth Miss said loudly, "Eldest Sister wants Second Sister to trust Second Sister!" Her cheeks were flushed red and her eyebrows were tightly locked together. It was obvious that Miss Xue Si was angry.

"Isn't she my sister? Why don't you go? "It seems like you are not as good as second sister in elder sister's heart?" Third Miss revealed a sly smile. A row of pure-white teeth stood out in the sunlight.

"You!" She suddenly jumped out and pointed at Miss Xue San. Fifth Miss Xue, who was being held by her, staggered a little, while the Second Miss quickly went forward to stop the Fifth Miss. When the Fifth Miss saw this sword-and-crossbow situation, she was so frightened that she immediately went into the Second Miss' arms. The Second Miss gently caressed her back to comfort her.

The two young misses from the Jiang family had serious expressions on their faces. They clearly didn't agree with what the third miss and the Wang family's young miss were doing, but they didn't say anything as they stood by my side.

"Big Sister's words are wrong!" I went forward and pulled Miss Xue Si. "Miss Xue naturally trusts every single Miss in the family, but the Second Miss is a bit older and more stable than me and the Fourth Miss. However, the Big Sister feels that the Fourth Miss should not trust the First Miss. I said to Third Miss with a smile, saying that she was thinking incorrectly, that she was narrow-minded, that Second Miss was steady, that she was not young but still did not know etiquette.

"Miss Yang is saying that the eunuchs raised by a taxi like us don't understand the rules!" Miss Zhang chuckled. Her voice was ethereal, but the words she said were not pleasant to hear. She was implying that I came from a merchant family, and that I was a despicable person.

"Miss Zhang, where did you get the silks, jewelry, and shoes from?" I turned my head to the side and mischievously asked Ms. Zhang.

Miss Zhang did not speak any further and only smiled at the Third Miss beside her.

"My third sister has such a temper?" She gave a self-deprecating smile. "Miss Yang, please don't mind it!"

"Elder sister, go quickly! Don't forget about the young miss. " I stepped forward to take Fifth Miss's hand. Second Miss nodded with a smile and led the servant woman by her side away.

"Quickly go and tell your fourth sister not to lower herself to the same level as a mad dog." I whispered to the Fifth Miss, who covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed.

Not long after, she heard Fifth Miss telling Fourth Miss in a childish voice not to lower herself to the same level as the mad dog. Fourth Miss said loudly, "Alright, I'm not going to lower myself to the same level as the mad dog!" He happily led the Fifth Miss back.

"You're really naughty." The Jiang family's eldest daughter smiled gently at me. The second young miss continued, "A person like him should be called a mad dog." Second Miss' words were quite candid. I couldn't help but glance at her a few times as she stuck out her tongue.

"To tell you the truth, my sister is a straightforward person." Big Miss Jiang said to me, "Just now, I only pretended to be a young miss for a short while before being unable to hold it in."

"You don't even know how much I wanted to quarrel with that Ms. Zhang just now!" Second Miss Jiang put her hands on her waist and, after a while, her face turned gloomy. "If it wasn't for my sister holding on to my waist, I would have already taught her a lesson!" As she spoke, her gaze towards Eldest Miss Jiang carried a hint of complaint, while Eldest Miss Jiang's expression seemed somewhat helpless.

"Sister Yang!" Fourth Miss arrogantly walked back with the Fifth Miss, her face still showing some excitement. "You're awesome!" Her eyes were sparkling, and her expression was very much like that of Xuelang.

"Are you saying that my mouth is too strong!?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at her as if I were angry.

"No, no!" Fourth Miss thought that I was really angry and quickly surrounded me to apologize. Second Miss Jiang pulled her back: "You silly young man, she was just teasing you, you really took it as the truth!" Fourth Miss turned around and pretended to whisper, "I know she lied to me! I lied to her too! " Seeing Fourth Miss's mischievous actions, everyone laughed.

"Let's go quickly! In a while, Miss Xue will be anxious. No matter how hard we wait, it won't be enough. It can't be that we took her sisters away, right? " Big Miss Jiang smiled and took Fourth Miss' arm.
