"That one is fine." Ji Man pointed at a light green long dress with a yellow bodice that was at the center. It was combined with a wide white sleeves top.

Muxu nodded, took out the outfit, and helped her change her clothes. Ji Man looked at the mirror, then she opened Nie Sangyu's jewelry box and selected two jasper hairpins and a silver flower hairpin. Along with the golden flower mark between her eyebrows, this style of dress and adornment made Nie Sangyu appear more spirited.
Nie Sangyu was very beautiful. Her lips were crimson even without applying makeup and she looked slightly cute when she was smiling. It was only that her previous attire was truly frightening. If she had gone out meet the new madam while wearing her white clothing, it would seem like she was paying a condolence visit and the male lead would definitely punish her.
Most of the time, the second female leads' deaths were a result of their own actions. Ji Man decided that she would be like a tranquil daffodil. She wouldn't do anything that would provoke a misfortunate death.
When the doors were open and Liu Mama saw Nie Sangyu, she momentarily lost her senses.
(T/N: Mama (嬷嬷) – a form of address for an elderly female servant.)
Ji Man courteously curtsied at her and said with a smile, ""I'll have to bother mama with leading the way."
According to the plot, it was time for the second female lead to appear. The female lead had married into the marquis's household. As the previous main wife, who had been demoted to a concubine by the marquis, she had to go and respectfully offer tea to the new main wife.
Liu Mama's words had been right. The status of a concubine wasn't high in the marquis's household. It was only slightly higher than a servant's status. She should exercise restraint by curbing Nie Sangyu's previous lofty arrogance.
"Master Sangyu, please follow me." Liu Mama couldn't resist taking another look at the person in front before turning around and walking towards the front of the residence. Why did Master Sangyu seem as if she had become a different person? She even curtseyed her and properly followed her
Everyone in marquis's household knew that Nie Sangyu had an arrogant and willful temperament. She treated the servants like they weren't people. Relying on her illustrious family background, she treated the honored concubines and ordinary concubines harshly. When she had found out that the marquis was going to marry Miss Wen Wan, she had caused a huge fuss with her crying and threatening to commit suicide. This news almost traveled to the palace. This behavior was absolutely overstepping the bounds of what was proper. As a result, the marquis had demoted her to an ordinary concubine in his anger and locked her up so that she could reflect on her past errors.
When Liu Mama had come here, she had expected that she wouldn't be able to bring Nie Sangyu to the main room or that she would have to deal with her crying and causing a huge fuss. Even the marquis had said, "If she really doesn't want to come her, then keep her locked her up."
