Old Taijun Bai looked at the only great-granddaughter in front of her, and a trace of remorse crossed her heart.

At that time, the house was in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and she was exhausted by only worrying about Zhu Rong alone, and she somewhat ignored this great-granddaughter.

She followed the advice of her old sister and invited a well-known nurturing grandmother for Zhu Yue.

This grandmother came out of the palace in the former dynasty, and there was no one who was not praised by her husband's family after she got married, and she was very prestigious among the nobles in the entire Huizhou.

With the help of the old sisters, Mrs. Bai invited this Mama Wang, took care of her family, paid a lot of hush money, and sent it to Zhu Yue after preparing everything.

Zhu Yue was six years old that year. And Mama Wang also lived up to her reputation, although she was startled when she saw Zhu Yue for the first time, she quickly regained her composure and lived in the underground secret room like teaching other noble girls.

Everything seems to be going very smoothly, and the originally willful Zhu Yue is becoming more and more beautiful in everyone's demeanor.

Seeing that her great-granddaughter, who had some inferiority complex because of her appearance defects, cheered up and learned various things under the teaching of Mama Wang every day. Mrs. Bai also put her mind at ease to teach Zhu Rong and searched for famous doctors.

This teaching continued until Mama Wang died of illness five years later.

And it was at that time that Mrs. Bai realized that something was wrong.

In the past five years, she has often felt that Mama Wang's teachings are a little too harsh.

Mama Wang taught Zhu Yue, who was only six years old, the posture and etiquette that everyone should stand, sit, and walk.

Although the bamboo strip in his hand is thinner than Mr. Zhu Rong's ring ruler, as long as Zhu Yue's posture is wrong, he will immediately draw it.

Zhu Yue was not allowed to cry after being beaten.

Because no husband's family will like a lady who washes her face with tears all day long.

Old Taijun Bai had also seen Zhu Yue hang a special small bucket and small bell with a thin thread before, as long as the water in the bucket overflowed, or when the bell sounded, Zhu Yue would be punished.

or take the female precepts or punish them for not eating.

Old Taijun Bai was also taken aback when she saw it for the first time, but when she spoke out to dissuade her, she was politely but forcefully said by Mama Wang that since she handed over the girl to her, she asked Lao Taijun not to interfere.

When discussing with the old sister, he was looked at by the other party with rare and strange eyes, and even talked about the origin of the old lady Bai in his words.

Mrs. Bai knew that in the circle of nobles and nobles of the family, it was normal to learn the rules like this. It is better to say that only the ladies taught in this way can have a good upbringing, rules, manners and bearing that noble ladies should have.

In the future, you can marry a good family.

Bai Lao Taijun was born as a bandit, and he was a family member of a military general, so he was not treated well by the civil official family and the nobles of the family in terms of etiquette and bearing.

The old sister said openly and secretly that the British government has reached the third generation, and it can no longer be sloppy in etiquette.

Otherwise, the reputation of the girls when they marry will not be good in the future.

If you can't integrate into the circle of noble girls, the girl's life will be over.

Although her great-granddaughter's future is uncertain, Mrs. Bai still hopes that one day she can recover and finish this life smoothly like an ordinary noble daughter of a family.

Since the old sisters all said so, she gritted her teeth and did not interfere with Mama Wang's teaching.

But when Mama Wang died, when Mrs. Bai contacted her granddaughter again, she found that her great-granddaughter seemed to be a different person.

She also couldn't tell if the change was good or bad.

The granddaughter who was so naughty and willful has indeed become well-behaved and lovely, and every smile and every bowed head is so standard that she can't make any mistakes.

The demeanor between acting and speaking is even more similar to the noble ladies of the family that Old Taijun Bai saw at the banquet in the past.

She should have been happy.

But for some reason, looking at her great-granddaughter sitting quietly in front of the embroidery frame day after day, Mrs. Bai always felt that something was wrong.

She said she didn't understand, and she didn't know if it was a misunderstanding caused by her origin.

Every time I see my great-granddaughter, it's like seeing that nurturing grandmother standing in front of me.

And Zhu Yue can indeed only accept the mother's statement.

can only accept what everyone should do.

In the eyes of any family member, there was nothing wrong with what she did back then.

But after Zhu Yue's body gradually recovered, an idea flashed in Mrs. Bai's heart countless times.

Did you do something wrong back then?

Especially recently, this idea has become stronger.

Why?

Old Taijun Bai closed her eyes, and the figure of another girl flashed in front of her for some reason.

Old Taijun Bai opened her eyes, looked at the excited Zhu Yue in front of her expressionlessly, and said lightly, "I stopped her before she went to Ziyang Academy for the first time. ”

Zhu Yue's eyes widened.

"But it didn't stop." Old Lady Bai said, "But then I was relieved to hear that Ziyang Academy confiscated her. ”

Zhu Yue also breathed a sigh of relief, but raised her head eagerly, "It's ......"

"Later, someone sent a post inviting her to the Twilight Society, and there was nothing to stop her." Old Lady Bai said, glancing at Zhu Yue, "If you want to go out, I won't stop you." ”

Zhu Yue's brows furrowed.

"But then somehow she was accepted by two of the four courtyards of the Hui Dynasty at the same time." Old Taijun Bai took a breath and looked at Zhu Yue, who looked anxious, "You know, I have always wanted to send your eldest brother to the Fourth Hui Academy, and then Rong'er entered Tianquan Academy, and it was indeed the person she was looking for." ”

Whatever the reason, for the sake of her brother's future, great-grandmother could not have given up this opportunity.

Zhu Yue's nails clenched into the palm of his hand.

"Why did things develop to this point after that, to be honest, I don't know," Old Lady Bai's face was unwavering, "I originally thought that she would be eliminated soon, so I went with her, but I don't know why I ......"

She stayed until now.

There was a moment of silence in Shou'an Hall.

"How is it possible for a woman to get to where it is now? Grandma, don't you ever worry? Zhu Yue stared at Old Lady Bai, "Who knows if she did something in private or made a deal!" ”

Mrs. Chen, who was on the side, only felt creepy when she heard Zhu Yue's words.

However, Mrs. Bai just looked at her quietly.

"The national test in Da Zhou is not as simple as you think," the old man stood up with a dragon-headed cane and looked at his little granddaughter condescendingly.

Zhu Yue was stunned. Her great-grandmother was still imposing once she was moving.

"Maybe playing small tricks can start to work, but it will definitely not be able to get to a high position, at least the martial arts test of the township test is ......"

"What about the second day of the martial arts test?" Zhu Yue raised her head unconvinced.

"It's not like people who play tricks can't get into the top sixteen!" The woman's eyes widened, "Mama said that only the sons and daughters who are in the top eight are worthy of the noble daughters of the family to bend down and marry, so it is natural ......"

Before Zhu Yue finished speaking, the sound of the guard's announcement suddenly came from outside the door.

"Old lady, the eldest young master's falcon has sent a letter!"

Everyone was shocked, "It should be the news from the mountain," Old Lady Bai looked at Mrs. Chen, "Quickly let people come in." ”

A guard walked into Shou'ando with an eagle standing on his shoulder.

There was a note tied to the eagle's feet, and after the guards took it off, Mrs. Chen handed it to Mrs. Bai.

Mrs. Bai opened the note, and the whole person was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yue frowned, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Could it be that girl really made it into the top eight?" It seems that our Huizhou is really not ......"

"No," Old Lady Bai interrupted her to look up.

"Not? Of course, how can it be ......" Zhu Yue laughed louder, "It seems that the eldest brother is coming back soon, and I don't have to go to see ......"

"No," Old Lady Bai shook her head and looked at Zhu Yue with a strange expression.

"Your sister is in the top four."
