Chapter 66 If I'm wrong, I'll let you do whatever you want
"Why are you bringing her up for no reason..." Xuanyuan Zhe scolded in a low voice. Baili Lianshuang felt instantly proud and covered her smiling mouth with a handkerchief. She would not let Bai Yao stay in the Third Prince's heart.
Xuanyuanzhe was indeed unhappy when Baili Yao was mentioned, but because Mr. Bai, whom he was very curious about, was sitting next to him, he just held the wine glass tightly and did not show any displeasure.
"What's the matter with the Third Prince coming here this time?" Baili Jing spoke up to break the awkward situation.
Xuanyuanzhe smiled again, "Yes, I came here specially to thank Mr. Bai. My father is in good health, and my brother was unwell a few days ago, thanks to Mr. Bai."
"No, I just do my best."
"Although Mr. Bai is a woman, she can go out to practice medicine and treat patients like a man. It's really enviable. Girls like me don't even go out of this mansion often." Bai Furui's voice was not loud. Baili Yao glanced at her. Her eyes were shrewd. Her eyes kept moving around them, and she was always paying attention to Baili Yao and Baili Jing. She just threw the topic out.
Sure enough, Baili Lianshuang thought about it and started to respond, but she was not as scheming as Bai Furui.
Baili Lianshuang said, "Mr. Bai is truly admirable. If we were like Mr. Bai, our elders at home would probably break our legs." She said with a smile.
Baili Yao chuckled. This heartless woman was obviously looking down on Baili Yao, laughing at her for showing up in public and not having the reserve of a girl in the boudoir.
"Humph, if you could be like Mr. Bai, I, Qin Zhao, would have developed faster. Men can show up in public, but women can't. Mr. Bai speaks based on his ability, unlike you who only know how to be mean and talkative in the mansion and even mock other people's achievements. It's really funny. Is this the behavior of ladies from noble families?"
As soon as Xuanyuan Zhe's words came out, Baili Yao couldn't help but look at him with higher regard again. As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Baili Yao, "Why is this happening, Third Prince? You have no choice." His behavior scared Baili Yao.
"That day, my mother proposed to Mr. Bai in front of my father. I spoke harshly to her and insulted him. It was my fault, but I just didn't want to force him like that."
"You don't have to do this, Third Prince. I know you have good intentions, and I don't care."
"That's good." Xuanyuan Zhe smiled, as if he had finally let it go and felt relieved. However, he never gave Baili Lianshuang and Bai Furui a good look.
“Third Prince, Miss Lianshuang just spoke too quickly and did not mean to mock Mr. Bai. Third Prince, please do not blame Miss Lianshuang.” Bai Furui said with tears in her eyes.
Baili Yao leaned towards Baili Jing and whispered, "Still crying, you damn white lotus."
Baili Jing didn't understand what she meant, but from Baili Yao's disdainful tone, he must have looked down upon her actions.
"Then don't talk nonsense like this anymore!" Xuanyuan Zhe threw the wine glass on the table, and a corner of the glass was broken when it fell on the table.
Seeing tears in Bai Furui's eyes, Baili Lianshuang pretended to cry.
"It's really unlucky." Xuanyuanzhe couldn't do enough, "I'll go back first."
"The Third Prince..." Baili Lianshuang stood up and chased after him. Bai Furui also stood up, bowed and then followed him.
"Look at that delicate look, so pitiful." Baili Yao snorted, her tone full of contempt.
"I thought you would hate Lian Shuang."
"She? She is so stupid. She lives in a big house. If her aunt hadn't stood firm, she wouldn't have lived this long with her IQ. Look at Bai Furui. She is a concubine of the Bai family, but she is always bullied. She pretends to be sick and pitiful, which makes people feel that she is no longer a threat."
"You said her illness was fake?"
"Of course she's pretending. Could she really be ill? I don't dislike her, but she has been guiding Baili Lianshuang in her speech, and then immediately puts the blame on Baili Lianshuang when something bad happens. Last time at the Crown Princess' banquet, she caused a conflict between me and the Third Prince with just a few words. She is not a good person. It's better for you to stay away from her, big brother."
Baili Jing sneered, "What can she have to do with me?"
"Brother," Baili Yao grabbed his wrist, "Have you ever seen someone who is extremely hungry? They are willing to eat others when they are desperate. She is getting older. If she can't marry the Third Prince through Baili Lianshuang, or other members of the royal family as a concubine, she will choose someone who is close to her. Who do you think is most likely to fall for it?"
"Are you talking about father?" Baili Jing obviously didn't understand the little thoughts of the woman in the backyard, and asked Baili Yao in confusion.
"Brother, what are you talking about! If she could marry father, why would she wait? It would naturally be you and Baili Yanhong."
"How can she be associated with me, a woman?" Baili Jing didn't believe it and thought Baili Yao was overthinking it.
Baili Yao took a sip of tea and said, "Just you watch. You've been injured recently and are at home. You just watch. If I'm wrong, I can make you do whatever you want." Baili Yao meant to make a bet, but Baili Jing wanted to smile when he heard it.
After Xuanyuanzhe left, Baili Lianshuang cried for a long time. Madam Wen tried to comfort her, but the old lady thought that if she continued to cry like this, it would bring shame to the Baili family, so she stopped crying.
It was dark after dinner. Baili Yao asked Baili Jing to lie down, but he couldn't do it at all. While walking in the garden, he happened to see Bai Furui coming towards him. Thinking of Baili Yao's words, he was stunned and planned to go around her, but was stopped by Bai Furui.
"Where are you going, Brother Jing?" Bai Furui came over with a maid. Her delicate, sickly and weak appearance was really pitiful. If it were before, he might have taken better care of her, but now, with Baili Yao's words, he couldn't help but feel a little more cautious.
"Ah, I'm just taking a walk to help digest my meal." Baili Jing deliberately kept a distance from him.
At noon, she was still talking about the boudoir ladies, but now she dared to walk into the back garden where there were not many people. "I heard that Brother Jing was not feeling well. Is he feeling better now?"
Baili Jing pretended to see the beautiful flowers and walked away from her, "It's okay. I have survived any injuries during the march and battle. This little injury is nothing to worry about."
Bai Furui came over again. Baili Jing looked at her. She walked lightly, holding a handkerchief, and rolled her eyes as if she was about to faint.
Baili Jing turned cleverly, and she failed to catch him and fell to the ground.
