Even though they are all concubines' daughters, those sisters have their birth mothers; the other side, even if they cannot return to the residence, still have some means—they can file a complaint to the Marquis of Jin Yang and let Xu Yue Yao learn a lesson.

Sui Sui

Concubine Su

Zhuangzi

Doctor

The residence's original third and fourth young ladies disdain to compete with these concubines' daughters over anything, so they are not a threat for now.

But the eldest daughter Xu Yue Ling, the second daughter Xu Yue Jiao, the original fifth daughter, and after the concubine daughters are added, the one who ranks eighth, Xu Yue Ting, are none of them easy to provoke.

Residence

Marquis of Jin Yang

Marchioness of Jin Yang

Old Matriarch

Marchioness

Gate? Not present.

Her psychological defenses kept collapsing, yet because she was trapped in that square place in the backyard and couldn't get out, she had to rebuild them again and again.

At this moment, Xu Yue Yao, who had just been beaten, stared blankly at the Flower in her courtyard.

She thought, it's coming soon, it should be coming soon.

She had previously leaked so much information; seeing Xu Yue Nong's mother going back and forth to the Marquis's Residence several times, she must have known quite a bit.

Maybe in a few days she could expose the big secret of the Marquis's Residence.

By then, Xu Yue Ling wouldn't be able to act domineering even if she wanted to.

Because she is fundamentally not the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Residence, but rather a concubine's daughter that Concubine Su had swapped in years ago.

Xu Yue Jiao is the biological daughter of the Marchioness!

In her previous life, Xu Yue Yao already knew this.

It is said that at the time the Marquis's Residence handled it very discreetly, without making a public announcement, after all it wasn't exactly an honorable matter.

They simply recorded Xu Yue Jiao under the Marchioness's name, making her the legitimate daughter; Xu Yue Ling was sent far away to marry, sent so far that no one could see her, and they didn't want to think about these unpleasant matters.

Concubine Su was also discarded by the Marquis of Jin Yang because of this.

That person was originally not a sentimental one, so they soon took a new favorite and forgot this concubine.

Xu Yue Yao asked about Sui Sui only out of curiosity.

At first Sui Sui didn't want to say, but in the end she was pestered by Xu Yue Yao until she had no choice, and then she said something vaguely.

After Xu Yue Yao analyzed it herself, she reached a conclusion.

This lifetime…

She didn't want to keep being bullied by Xu Yue Ling, so Xu Yue Yao, from the moment she entered the residence, had been secretly leaking information to a few sisters of Xu Yue Nong.

These people have their birth mothers protecting them, and their birth mothers also very much want to enter the Marquis's Residence openly and aboveboard.

They not only need to pillow‑talk the Marquis of Jin Yang, but also need to pull down the elders in the Residence.

They really need to tackle both fronts to have more chances.

Xu Yue Yao herself is small and weak, but she knows how to borrow strength.

After suffering a series of losses, Xu Yue Yao has now learned to be honest and no longer insists on taking the lead in everything.

She thought, let others take the lead while she picks up the fruit from behind!

Because the elder brothers have returned today, Sui Sui didn't go to class this afternoon.

Over the past month and a half, Sui Sui's studies haven't been neglected.

Liu Dafu took on the responsibility of a teacher, instructing the three children in their daily studies.

Of course, archery and horsemanship etc. were not neglected either.

Perhaps Liu Dafu himself never imagined that one day he could still serve as a teacher.

Fortunately, he's only teaching young children, so his pressure isn't great.

Sui Sui and they had a wild playtime for an afternoon.

By the time the elder brothers returned, everything had already been tidied up neatly.

When Feng Xuanze saw his sister, he was very happy.

After being separated for over a month, he still missed his sister greatly.

Feng Xuan Yu previously had no sister, and didn't know what it was like to miss a younger brother at home.

This past month, however, he has begun to feel a tug at his heartstrings.

At this moment, having dismounted from the carriage and striding over, he felt as if the earth itself were trembling: 'Little sister, Second Brother is back!'

That shout startled all the birds in the trees into flight.

Although Sui Sui still isn't used to her second brother's loud voice, knowing he means no harm, she happily rushes over: 'Second Brother!'

The little girl, so tiny, felt like a toy when Feng Xuan Yu picked her up.

Pocket-sized and cute, as if it could be tossed away casually.

Feng Xuan Yu held it carefully, looking as if he weren't cradling a rare treasure but some unsolved world mystery—dangerous yet precious.

Feng Xuanze watched from the side, unable to keep from curling his lips into a faint smile.

The family chatted and laughed as they went to eat.

After the meal, Feng Xuanze, as usual, checked his younger brothers' homework.

Feng Xuan Yu felt he too should shoulder the elder brother's duty, so he also began checking his younger brothers' archery and horsemanship.

After eating and fussing for a while, the sky had already darkened, making it inconvenient to practice outside.

Feng Xuan Yu hastily made a moving target, then took out a small bow to conduct close-range moving-target archery testing.

Younger brothers:???

No, second brother, you've changed!

Now you even mess with the younger brothers!

After half a month of practice, Sui Sui's confidence has skyrocketed, feeling she's terrifyingly strong.

Seeing the older brothers unmoving, Sui Sui stepped forward: "Second brother, I'll go first!"

Prince Qi listened to the commotion, silently turned his head, not daring to look more, already preparing in his heart to comfort the children if they were startled later.

He thought: "Goodness, you've only practiced a few days, and you dare to handle a moving target?"

The older brothers hadn't expected Sui Sui to go first; no one vied with her, each preparing this and that.

All that's left is to shoot arrows in place of Sui Sui!

Feng Xuanze watched from the side, smiling with narrowed eyes.

Feng Xuan Yu saw his sister go first, and he felt a bit nervous.

He wondered how he could help his sister shoot more accurately at the target later.

The teacher said cheating is not good!

They can cheat on the drill ground, but can they still cheat on the battlefield?

But the sister isn't going to the battlefield; she's just checking homework—so it's fine, right?

Feng Xuan Yu had never encountered such a situation before; at a loss, he quickly turned his head and looked helplessly at the eldest brother.

The second watch is at 7 PM
