At the Eighth Miss' request, the maidservant recounted all the details regarding Chu Lian's arrival.

Her narration was so detailed that she even reported that Chu Lian and He Changdi had worn the same colour.

The maidservant's report stirred up the hornet's nest in Miss Yuan's heart. The one thing she couldn't stand the most was to see Chu Lian living better than she was.

In the past battles she had with Chu Lian in the Ying Estate, Miss Yuan had always been able to come out on top. She had also caused 'Chu Lian' to suffer much in secret. However, the gap between them seemed to have widened incredibly fast after Chu Lian had gotten married.

Chu Lian had the extremely profitable Guilin Restaurant in her pockets, yet Miss Yuan still had to ask for her parents' permission to buy an accessory. It wasn't even a given that her request would be approved, either.

Although Chu Lian was already married, Brother Xiao was still thinking about her. He couldn't forget her.

Even her husband's family was superior to House Ying. Her husband had gained merit at the northern border and had been bestowed the title of Marquis Anyuan. They were clearly both daughters of the second branch, but Chu Lian had already become a marchioness without any warning while Miss Yuan was still a nobody!

Miss Yuan couldn't accept this massive gap between them.

They had come from the same roots, so how could Chu Lian be doing so much better than her! Even Prince Wei's Estate held her in high esteem!

She had invited Chu Lian over today with the intention to humiliate her. There was a huge difference between their coming-of-age ceremonies, after all.

Upon seeing the grandeur of her ceremony, Chu Lian would definitely recall how her own had been so plain and half-hearted.

Even with this, however, Miss Yuan was still unsatisfied in her heart.

He Changdi had official business to take care of, yet he had still personally escorted Chu Lian over to the Ying Estate. Wasn't Chu Lian trying to show off her position in House Jing'an and He Sanlang's current merits?

Miss Yuan wrung the handkerchief in her hand with a wretched expression on her face. Her heart was filled with resentment.

The only advantage that Chu Lian had over her was her looks alone!

Xiaoqin noticed the grim expression on Eighth Miss and how she was silently biting her lip, obviously deep in her thoughts. She waved her hand to signal the reporting maidservant to retreat.

"Eighth Miss?" Xiaoqin probed with a call.

Miss Yuan came back to her senses and took in a deep breath to suppress the monstrous jealousy building inside of her.

Chu Yuan sent a look at Xiaoqin, who immediately understood what she wanted. The handmaid stealthily left the courtyard while no one was paying attention.

Chu Yuan stared at her reflection in the mirror. A corner of her lips curved upwards, forming a sinister smile on her young face.

Chu Lian, so you think you're living better than me? I'll destroy your reputation and completely ruin you!

He Sanlang was known to be an upright, honest man who was also crazily devoted to his wife. She really wanted to know if he would still want Chu Lian once he saw what she was really like!

Chu Lian was invited into the inner court by one of the old madam's handmaids.

All the womenfolk of the Ying Estate were currently there.
