The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 19 Auntie's Pain
"Sister-in-law, you are too polite. We are all family. You can come anytime if you want!" Bai Yan had a smile on his face, looking flattering.

Bai Qianxi raised her eyes and seemed to understand the identities of the two after hearing his words.

In fact, the Zhao family of Chang'an Marquis' Mansion is still a relative of the Bai family. They are the maternal family of his first wife and the maternal grandparents of the third brother of the Bai family.

But the wife's death was strange, and after she passed away, Bai Yan made An his wife within three months, which made the Zhao family unhappy and ended the marriage. But later, the Zhao family got an opportunity and was granted a hereditary title of marquis, which made the Zhao family even more powerful. Bai Yan tried to curry favor with them several times, and would prepare expensive gifts and letters for the three brothers to bring when they visited during the New Year and other festivals. But although the three brothers visited as usual, all the gifts were returned.

So as time went on, he almost forgot about this relative.

Those who came today were the wife of Zhao Zhao, the eldest son of the Marquis's family, and Zhao Linshu, the eldest son of the second son.

"I wonder why my sister-in-law is here today...but what do my father-in-law and mother-in-law want to tell me?"

"My sister has probably been reincarnated a long time ago. I cannot bear to be called sister-in-law by an old man. I came here today to thank my lifesaver in the Marquis' Mansion!"

As she spoke, she glanced at the person next to her, and when she saw Zhao Linshu nodded, a smile suddenly broke out on her face. She immediately stepped forward, took Bai Qianxi's hand, and spoke warmly.

"Hey, look at the different aura around him, no wonder he was able to bring my mother back to life.

What are you guys still standing there for? Hurry up and bring in the thank you gifts."

After Madam Zhao finished speaking, she remembered something and took off the jade bracelet on her wrist. Before Bai Qianxi could react, she put it on her hand. "This is my dowry. Auntie likes you so much that I'm giving it to you too."

The three brothers of the Bai family all call her aunt, so logically speaking, Bai Qianxi can indeed call her aunt.

But Bai Qianxi didn't expect that the woman who was originally cold and indifferent in front of Bai Yan would change into such a temper in an instant. What she didn't expect was that she actually took off the hairpin on her head and continued to decorate her hair...

"And this, this... Hey, look, after dressing up, he immediately becomes a different person!
There are two sets of headgear in the box. Next time, you can’t dress so plainly. Girls have to look pretty!"

Madam Zhao kept talking incessantly, and the changes and operations before and after were so great that even Bai Qianxi, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but stare in amazement, not to mention Bai Yan and Nanny Chen who were standing beside her.

Seeing their expressions, Zhao Linshu couldn't help but hold his forehead, and hurried forward to hold Madam Zhao, "Aunt, come on, don't scare people."

"..." Madam Zhao looked at Bai Qianxi in confusion. Meeting her stunned gaze, she couldn't help but smile awkwardly, "Look at me... I actually just want to..."

"Please show some kindness, Madam Zhao. If you don't mind, just call me Xi'er."

"Good good..."

"Miss Bai Wu, if you have finished greeting us, please come back to the Prime Minister's Residence with me as soon as possible. My wife has been waiting for a long time, and she will be blamed!" Nanny Chen at the side couldn't stand it anymore. She glanced at her with her slender eyes and said this almost with a snorting sound. It made people feel uncomfortable no matter how they listened to it.

Before Bai Qianxi could speak, Madam Zhao's face instantly turned cold, "Whose servant is so ignorant of the rules? The master is talking, and you are barking like a dog!"

Nanny Chen's face immediately turned red, but due to her status, she gritted her teeth and said, "...I am from the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

“So they are from the Li family, no wonder they have such an rude servant!

Go back and tell your wife that Miss Bai Wu doesn't have time. If you want to see her, follow the rules." Madam Zhao glanced at her with a cold look. She had heard what they said from afar. She had heard about the banquet at Cheng's house before. After hearing the conversation between them, she naturally understood Bai Qianxi's reluctance. "Why don't you leave now?" Madam Zhao scolded without moving.

Although Nanny Chen was upset, she knew that she could ignore the Bai Mansion, but she could not ignore the Chang'an Marquis Mansion. She could only glare at Bai Yan fiercely and turned away.

Bai Yan wanted to teach Bai Qianxi a lesson, but he was met with Madam Zhao's protective eyes. He gave Bai Qianxi a warning look and chased after her.

When Mrs. Zhao saw that everyone had left, she happily took Bai Qianxi's hand and said.

"You saved my mother on the street that day, and you didn't leave your name. Fortunately, Shu'er found your sachet, which had the Bai Mansion's mark on it, so she came here. My mother is getting better now, and she keeps talking about you. If you are free, you can come to visit us anytime."

"It's just a small favor, Madam Bai, don't worry about it. Madam and Master, please sit inside."

Several people entered the room and did not leave until noon.

After seeing the guests off, Bai Qianxi estimated the time when the Li family would come, and then she lay down on a rocking chair under a tree in the yard, lazily basking in the sun.

As the courtyard door was pushed open forcefully, a cold wind blew in, lifting the corner of Bai Qianxi's clothes.

She slowly opened her eyes, her dark phoenix eyes were bright and calm, but deep in them there seemed to be a whirlpool, hidden with turbulence.

"You stupid girl, you are really capable. My daughter has been tortured to the point of being in a mess by you, and you still have the time to bask in the sun here!"

Madam Li's sharp roar came with a chill wind. Bai Qianxi slowly sat up straight, but said calmly, "What Li Miaomiao looks like is none of my business, but Madam Li's upbringing is still the same as always. It's ok to enter someone's yard without notifying them, but she actually yelled like this!"

"Don't be rude!" Bai Yan shouted anxiously.

Bai Qianxi just glanced at him with disgust and continued to say to Madam Li, "What's wrong? Is Li Miaomiao sick?"

"How dare you say that? Did you use some despicable tricks to make Miao'er like this? Hand over the antidote immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!"

"Hehe..." Bai Qianxi suddenly laughed twice. When the two were puzzled, she spoke again, "Whether she was poisoned or not, didn't Madam consult a doctor a long time ago? Why pretend to be confused when you know the truth? What antidote do you need?"

But... I told you yesterday that your daughter was ill, but you refused to believe me. You have been tortured for nothing for a whole day!"

"What nonsense!" Mrs. Li's face was obviously unnatural. Yesterday she thought Bai Qianxi was talking nonsense, but at night, Li Miaomiao started to go crazy, smashing and cursing in the house. The doctors' treatment was ineffective. Until today, she even behaved in a self-harming manner, which frightened her. She sent Nanny Chen to call Bai Qianxi, but she didn't expect that she didn't wait for her but Nanny Chen's complaint.

Seeing her daughter in so much pain, she had no choice but to come in person.

"No matter what, everything started with what you said yesterday. You have to find a way to cure her. Come with me now!"

"I have a way to cure her, but... if I have to do it, the consultation fee will be very expensive!" Bai Qianxi looked at her straight, and faced with her almost cannibalistic eyes, she did not back down at all.
