Chapter Fifteen: Family and Dwelling

  Xiao Min stared at the melancholic man, but this refined man actually had such a cold and stern side?

  In her heart, she secretly felt grateful that Yueliang had appeared at just the right moment.

  "Oh, sister is also here!" However, at this time, another person's charming voice sounded outside the door.

  Lin Su saw her beloved brother being beaten to such a state, and she was heartbroken. Adding Lin Suli's salt-rubbing and vinegar-pouring description, she naturally became even more furious.

  But when she heard that someone had beaten up her brother, Lin Suwen fell into deep thought. She wasn't a reckless person, and she was well aware of what her brother did outside every day. It's just that the two of them had been bullied since they were young, and now that they had finally turned things around, her brother wasn't stupid either, and he had never caused any big trouble for her. So naturally, she had always turned a blind eye to his actions.

  Thinking of this, Lin Suwen naturally knew the severity of today's events and hurried to Master Xiang's study. Who would have thought that they would run into each other here?

  Xiao Min stood in the house, silent.

  She didn't even need to think about it, she knew that was the big madam who threatened her, and immediately got up and pushed the door to leave.

  As soon as she came out, the originally bewildered Moon Daughter saw Xiao Min and rushed over. Delighted to hold her hand, but Xiao Min clearly saw the sinister look in Madame's eyes.

  Lin Su gave a nonchalant glance at Yue Niang, then looked at Xiao Min with profound meaning, and smiled politely: "Hehe, today sister and Master Xiao have some matters to attend to, let's catch up another day!", while seething with anger, still maintaining a warm smile on her face.

  She said to Moon Lady and then turned around, twisting her waist like a water snake, and hastily went into the house.

  She was afraid that if she slowed down by half a step, things would have already changed, but seeing Yueniang not entering the house, her heart also put down, after all, that ugly woman was her own person!

  Xiao Min supported Ruyi, and they went out of the courtyard. As soon as they walked out of the gate, they saw Lin Si standing anxiously on one side, pacing back and forth impatiently.

  Xiao Min was somewhat surprised and had not expected this audacious person to be openly waiting here.

  At this moment, Lin Su stood there, seeing her and Yueniang beside her, obviously losing the calmness of just now, especially when looking at Yueniang beside her, even with some fear!

  Xiao Min also didn't bother with him, thinking that since Master Xiang was so respectful to this person, he certainly wouldn't let those guilty guys get away easily. He immediately pulled Ruyi and gradually walked further and further away, also distancing themselves from the trouble.

  On one hand I'm happy, on the other hand I'm worried! Watching my own beloved younger brother being sent back to our hometown by Master Xiang, how can this older sister still have any face?!

  Lin Suwan's breath quickened as she looked at her tearful younger brother. Since their parents had left early, she had become the head of the song and dance troupe at a young age. It wasn't easy to have achieved today's success, and it was understandable that her brother would feel some resentment. But must they really be separated because of this?

  That woman's position in Master Xiang's heart has never wavered, and sooner or later she will inevitably become his stumbling block! It's just that due to her identity, he can't rashly make a move on her.

  Her cold eyes gazed at the fallen leaves in the courtyard, and there was only a cold glow in her phoenix-like eyes! Her hands were tightly clenched, and in her mind, Xiao Min's ugly face suddenly appeared. That woman actually broke her promise and took advantage of the situation to climb up? Was it not necessary for herself to burn the bridge after crossing the river?

  Lin Suwen sneered and in her mind emerged Xiao Min, although his appearance was ruined, but he still exuded an air of unwavering confidence!

  A cold smile flashed across the corner of her mouth, did she really think she was a young lady from the Xiang family? Her deep eyes stared at the distant gloomy sky, she would let her know the consequences of betraying herself...

  Three days later

  Today is a recognition meeting held by Xiao Min and the Chancellor's Mansion, where all the officials and dignitaries have gathered.

  For a time, various young masters and misses also used the pretext of getting to know Xiao Cong's daughter to gather together with their own thoughts, wanting to choose their ideal partner from among them.

  If these people's ideas were known to Xiao Min, she would surely spit out blood. Is this really a plan that kills two birds with one stone?

  At this moment, Xiao Min was led into the house by the maid and sat in front of a copper mirror. For the first time, she looked at her current appearance so clearly.

  At this moment, facing the woman in the copper mirror, the maid was still busy trying to dress her up, and she couldn't help but find it laughable.

  However, she did not stop the maid's dressing, but only chose some simpler things when selecting headwear.

  Looking at Liu'er who was combing her hair in the copper mirror, she was the first maid to find trouble for herself after crossing over.

  Through the mirror, I can see that he seems to be jealous at this moment. Pouting his small mouth, his eyes are full of resentment.

  At this moment, Liu Er's heart is depressed, and she doesn't know how such an ugly woman can have such good luck?

  I've been serving the young lady since I was a child, without any achievements, but with hard work! Looking at this ugly woman in front of me who is inferior to me in every way, I really don't know what kind of luck she has encountered?

  Liu'er had an idea in her mind, but looking at the half-silk fabric in her hands, she didn't dare to slack off. After helping Xiao Min wash and comb her hair into a cloud-shaped bun, on top of which was simply inserted a sheep-fat jade hairpin according to Xiao Min's intention, it looked simple and elegant. Liu'er glanced at the largest golden step shake on the table and shook her head!

  When Xiao Min put on the pink palace dress changed by Yāo Niang, her whole demeanor immediately became completely different. If not for the scars on her face, she would certainly be a stunning beauty capable of captivating the city.

  Liu Er looked at Xiao Min's face and felt a little comforted, even forcing a smile on her lips. 'Indeed, you're just a country bumpkin! Even if you wear silk and satin, you can't hide the ugliness on your face!'

  In her heart, she was secretly criticizing, although she felt that after dressing up, the girl's demeanor was obviously different from before, but in her heart, she just couldn't admit it!

  But at this moment, a little maid's voice came from the door "Liu'er sister, are you ready?" The little maid's voice pulled Liu'er back to reality.

  "Alright!" Although Liso agreed, he was extremely unhappy in his heart and kept thinking that if he wore this outfit, he would be no worse than Miss Xue'er!

  In an instant, Xiao Min had already been led away from the small courtyard by Xiaoyu, heading towards the most bustling front hall of the Xiang Mansion.

  All along the way, passing through those exquisite pavilions and towers, delicate artificial hills, before you know it, we've arrived at the front hall.

  The voices of the people talking grew clearer, Xiao Min took a deep breath, and although this kind of gathering was what she disliked the most, she had to face it head-on.

  Someone with sharp eyes looked at Xiaomin being led over by the maid and exclaimed "Is this...the young lady?"

  But took a cold breath in the next moment!
