Bai Weiyang pouted and added fuel to the fire. "That's right! Madam was very angry and said that she liked the second daughter of the Bai Family more…"
The second daughter of the Bai Family was naturally Bai Qinglian.
Bai Hongye's face fell. She bit her lower lip and said indignantly, "As expected, Madam has always liked Second Sister. Second Sister is so gentle and generous. She's a famous socialite in Jiang City. Together with Shen Wanjing of the Shen family, she's listed as the 'two beauties of Jiang City'! I don't have a chance…"
Bai Weiyang immediately raised her voice and said, "But Brother Songjie likes Hongye~"
Her eyes lit up as she looked at Bai Hongye. Bai Hongye enjoyed this gaze tremendously.
"Brother Songjie has good taste. I'm much younger than Second Sister. Look at my skin. There aren't any pores at all!"
As she spoke, she touched her cheek narcissistically.
"…"
Bai Weiyang was speechless.
Bai Hongye's face was filled with joy as she clapped her hands. At the age of thirteen, she was as happy as a sparrow!
"I'll tell Mother later and get her to tell Madam Feng that Brother Songjie likes me. Only I, Bai Hongye, can marry Brother Songjie!"
As she walked out with her maidservant, Ju Xiang, she laughed like a cat. "Oh, hehe!"
Bai Weiyang watched Bai Hongye leave and shook her head.
She believed my nonsense so easily. Her intelligence was worrying!
Bai Weiyang knew that in the Bai Family, the second daughter, Bai Qinglian, was the most favored! It was also Bai Qinglian who urged Bai Hongye to say some sarcastic words when the body's orginal owner fell into the water! She deliberately induced the orginal owner to fall into the water.
It wasn't Bai Weiyang seeking death at all.
How would a fool know about chastity? How could she seek death!
As soon as Bai Hongye returned to the reception pavilion, Bai Qinglian walked over leisurely from the sofa with a cup of English black tea. She pretended to ask casually, "Fourth Sister, what that fool said? Hurry up and tell Second Sister."
Bai Hongye found out from Bai Weiyang that Feng Songjie liked her, but Madam liked Second Sister. Hence, Bai Hongye secretly wanted to compete with her, so she held back and said impolitely,
"What does Second Sister want to hear?"
Bai Qinglian did not notice it and asked, "How did she tell Madam to cancel the engagement?"
"Well, if Second Sister wants to know, you can ask that fool yourself!" Bai Hongye raised her eyebrows and left with a smug expression.
She even said proudly as she walked.
"Hmph, I'm going to find Mother."
Bai Hongye's arrogant appearance made Bai Qinglian anxious. What did the fool say to her and what did she want to say to Mother? Half an hour later, Bai Hongye came downstairs smugly.
Bai Qinglian then went to look for Madam Bai Zhou in exasperation.
"Mother, what did Hongye say to you just now?"
Madam Bai Zhou sat in the room and slowly drank her ginseng tea. She chuckled and said, "She asked me to speak to the Feng Family and ask Feng Songjie to marry her."
Bai Qinglian was shocked for a second and asked anxiously, "Then how did you answer her, Mother?"
Madam Bai Zhou patted Bai Qinglian's shoulder with a disagreeing expression.
"The Commander's wife likes you so much. My Qinglian is a socialite who is on par with Shen Wanjing in Jiang City. Hongye can't compare to you. If she wants to marry into the Feng Family and doesn't get the favor of the Madam, she won't be able to survive in the Feng Family. Moreover, how can she handle the Military Governor's concubines with her brain?"
