Bai Xianyu's lips curled up slightly. "Yes."
Bai Yu'er smiled. When she returned to the carriage, her good mood had already disappeared.
She sat down angrily, causing the carriage to shake.
Madam Bai Meng was originally smiling, but when she saw her actions, she hurriedly pulled up the end of her dress in a panic and carefully patted away the dust on it. She frowned and reprimanded, "What are you doing, girl? This fabric is thinner than paper. If you tear it, where are we going to find such a good one?! You really don't know how to cherish it!"
Bai Yu'er clenched her sleeves tightly and said gloomily, "If these clothes are really so good, how could Bai Xianyu give them to the maidservant at will? Did Grandmother deliberately use these things to humiliate me?"
When Madam Bai Meng heard this, her expression turned a little ugly. "Bai Xianyu is amazing. Although she's usually delicate and weak, she's very sharp when she speaks! Your grandmother has doted on you since you were young. If there were better ones, she would definitely give them to you."
Madam Bai Meng was also a little indignant. Back then, her family was quite rich in Linjiang Village, Qingzhou. Back then, her father originally arranged for her to marry Bai Yuannian, but she chose Bai Yuantai. Now that Bai Yuannian's children were all doing so well, she felt extremely upset.
If she had married Bai Yuannian, she certainly wouldn't have killed herself for love!
That lotus picker was really lucky, but she was a little stupid.
Was it not dignified to live as the wife of a general?
"They're Bai Xianyu's brothers, but they're also my brothers!" Bai Yu'er was indignant. "Why should Bai Xianyu take all the benefits alone?!"
Madam Bai Meng rolled her eyes at her. "Your cousins haven't even met you before. How would they miss you?"
Bai Yu'er did not say anything else, but she was thinking that she had to find an opportunity in the future to wheedle in front of her cousins and remind them that other than Bai Xianyu, there was also her, their younger sister, in the General's Manor!
It was said that her second cousin, Bai Mohuai, was as rich as a country. Even his rewards were Night-Luminescent Pearls!
Bai Yu'er thought of Bai Xianyu's outfit just now and became even more envious.
As the carriage started, the coachman's cries gradually became indistinguishable in the bustling city.
Madam Bai Meng glanced at her daughter and tugged at her clothes. "Remember, the wealth of our family depends on whether you can please the Eldest Princess this time."
"Your father has been studying for his entire life, but he hasn't made a name for himself. He's still a scholar now. He has no official title or power. There's no need to even talk about that idiot brother of yours. You're my pillar of support, so you have to work hard! If you can win her favor, you might even be the wife of a Marquis!"
Bai Yu'er nodded and took a closer look at her appearance with the bronze mirror. "Mother, don't worry."
Wasn't she looking down on her?
Bai Xianyu was only a little prettier than her. Even the Eldest Princess disdained to invite her! If she married Xie Xingyun, Bai Xianyu would be jealous of her.
…
In another carriage at the General's Manor.
As soon as Bai Xianyu sat down, Green Pearl could not help but laugh behind her. "Miss, hahaha. Didn't you didn't see it just now? Bai Yu'er was so angry that her face turned green when she left."
Bai Xianyu also smiled. "She came early in the morning to make her presence known and even beat around the bush. I was getting angry from listening to her."
Green Pearl frowned. "She has been mentioning the Eldest Princess here and there in the Manor for the past few days and even addressed the Young Marquis by his name. Those who don't know might think that she is already the Marquis's wife."
Actually, Green Pearl still felt a little pity for Bai Xianyu. Young Marquis Xie was clearly compatible with her Miss.
However, Miss was very calm.
