The moment Qin Xiaoyao uttered these words, she instantly attracted the gazes of the three people in the courtyard.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao realize that the three of them had already changed into the clothes that she had asked someone to prepare in advance.

She had helped her family buy clothes before and knew their size.

However, she did not expect that after they put on these luxurious clothes, their bearing would be so refined.

Madam Liu had turned into a dignified, noble lady.

As for Song Yun and Song Ye, they had the bearing of a young miss and young master.

When she recalled her in-laws’ family background, Qin Xiaoyao suddenly felt that this was how things should be.

“Sister-in-law!” Song Ye and Song Yim immediately shouted when they saw Qin Xiaoyao.

“Mm-hmm,” Qin Xiaoyao smiled and responded before quickly walking towards the three of them.

“Did you rest well, Mother?” she asked Madam Liu.

Then, she looked at Song Yun and Song Ye.

“You two! Did you disrupt your mother’s rest?”

“No, they didn’t. The doctor came and gave me a check. He said that I’m fine.

“After washing up and taking a bath, 1 rested for a while. 1 felt refreshed after that.

“Then I asked the siblings to chat with me.

“We’ve only been chatting for a while before you’re here,” Madam Liu said and laughed.

“I heard that you’re busy with work. Are you done?”

When she married into the Prime Minister’s family, her father-in-law was also often busy at home.

Sometimes, he would be busy for half a day, so it was not easy.

“It’s not much. I’ve already finished my work. I can spend the rest of today with you guys,” Qin Xiaoyao said with a laugh.

“Lunch should be ready by now. Mother, follow me to the front hall to eat.”

Madam Liu smiled as she answered, “Mm-hmm!”

Following that, she asked Song Yun to help her up.

Madam Liu suddenly thought of something and said, “What about Father Qin and your brother…”

“I’ve already asked the caretaker to invite them. If we go over now, they might all be there already,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

Madam Liu fell more relieved when she heard that. She continued chatting with Qin Xiaoyao as she walked to the front hall.

Along the way, Song Yun and Song Ye’s eyes never stopped looking at the flowers and greenery beside the corridor as well as the exquisite garden structure.

If not for the fact that their sister-in-law was talking to their mother ail the while, the two of them would have grabbed their sister-in-law and prattled for half a day.

The Marquis s residence certainly lived up to its name. It was so beautiful!

Sister-in-law was too amazing. To think that she could move into such a residence.

As they chatted and walked, they arrived at the front hail.

Qin Xiaoyao helped Madam Liu into the room. True enough, her father and big brother were already there.

Not only were Qin Dazhuang and Qin Dahu there, but Princess Xiangyang and Liu Ling had also returned.

Moreover, the Qin family’s father and son and the two guests of the Marquis’s residence were clearly already acquainted with each other.

She could tell when she saw how cautious they were and did not dare to look at Princess Xiangyang directly.

After Madam Liu entered the door, she quickly noticed Liu Ling.

A look of shock flashed across her eyes instantly.

As for Liu Ling, when he saw Madam Liu, he was also taken aback.

However, it was only for a moment before he withdrew his odd reaction. It was so fast that no one noticed it.

“Master Granny! Why took you so long?” Princess Xiangyang suddenly spoke. Then, she rushed to Madam Liu and grabbed her other hand.

“Did you have a good rest, Master Granny? Are the maidservants to your liking?”

“If you don’t like any of them, you can tell me directly. 1 will arrange another one for you! ’ Princess Xiangyang said to Madam Liu in a very friendly manner.

T his made Madam Liu a little confused.

Upon seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao smiled.

“Mother, this is my new disciple, Xiangyang. Now, she is also staying with us in the Marquis’s residence.

“The servants serving the courtyards that you, Yun’er and Ye er are staying in were all procured by her.”

As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao looked at Qin Dazhuang and Qin Dahu.

“Father and Big Brother, the servants in your courtyard were also procured by

Xiangyang. Consider it a little token of her appreciation.”

Everyone looked at Princess Xiangyang.

Princess Xiangyang blushed under the intense scrutiny.

“Little girl, thank you!” Madam Liu held Princess Xiangyang s hand and spoke kindly.

Princess Xiangyang felt a warm sensation in her heart and was about to demur politely.

Qin Dazhuang and Qin Dahu then spoke up.

“Thank… thank you, Your Highness! ” As they spoke, they even bowed to her.

As soon as they uttered this, the whole hall instantly fell silent.

Madam Liu’s hand that was holding Princess Xiangyang’s hand froze.

Then, she looked at Qin Xiaoyao stiffly.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled awkwardly.

“Xiangyang is indeed the youngest princess of His Majesty and the Empress,” she explained to Madam Liu.

Madam Liu’s face instantly turned pale, and her legs buckled…

Qin Xiaoyao used more force to hold Madam Liu up.

“Mother, don’t be nervous.

“Although this girl is a princess, she is also my disciple. When she lives in the Marquis s residence, there is no room for her to act like a princess.

“Right, Xiangyang?” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao tipped her head at Princess Xiangyang.

“Yes, yes, yes! ” Princess Xiangyang quickly answered obligingly.

“Over here, I’m just Master’s disciple and your good grand disciple, Master Granny.

“Master Granny, please don’t despise Xiangyang.” As she spoke, Princess Xiangyang put on a pitiful expression.

T his playful look made people lose their tense emotions very quickly.

However, Madam Liu only glanced at Princess Xiangyang and then looked away.

Although she was no longer as fearful of Princess Xiangyang as before, she still deliberately avoided her.

Qin Xiaoyao did not persist when she recalled the enmity between the Song family and Empress Jia.

After giving Princess Xiangyang a reassuring look, she helped Madam Liu to sit down at the table.

In contrast, Song Yun and Song Ye gave Princess Xiangyang a smile to show their friendliness.

Song Yun was particularly friendly, as she was about the same age as Princess Xiangyang.

As soon as their eyes met, they had a good impression of each other.

As such, Princess Xiangyang did not think too much about the awkwardness anymore.

She also sat down at the table.

From time to time, she would exchange glances with Song Yun.

T he two young girls had not even said a word, but they had already formed a friendship.

At this moment, everyone had already taken their seats and started eating.

Qin Xiaoyao took the opportunity to talk about the upcoming arrangements.

“I’ll be free in the afternoon. If Mother isn’t tired, I’ll bring you around rhe streets. I’ll buy some things for you, Yun’er, and Ye’er.”

Madam Liu hurriedly refused.

“There’s really nothing to buy.

“I… I’m not going out.”

When she saw the disappointment on Song Yun and Song Ye’s faces, Madam

Liu said, “Just bring Yun’er and Ye’er out.”

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Madam Liu, thought for a moment, and relented.

“Alright. Then please stay in the residence to rest, Mother. If we see anything nice, we’ll buy it for you.”

Her mother-in-law didn’t want to go out probably because she was afraid of being recognized.

Carrying such a big secret on her shoulders was really hard on her.

A smile finally appeared on Madam Liu s face as she replied, “Alright.”

Qin Xiaoyao then looked at her father and big brother.

“Father, Big Brother, do you want to come with us?

“If there’s any place you want to go, you can also ask the caretaker to send you there.”

The places that womenfolk and children liked to go were definitely different from the places her father and big brother liked, it was not appropriate to arrange for them to go out together.

Qin Dahu and Qin Dazhuang exchanged looks with each other.

Then, Qin Dazhuang spoke up.

“Don’t worry about us. The caretaker has already arranged it for us. We can take care of our own itinerary.”

Qin Xiaoyao smiled and nodded..
