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

Chapter 32 A Different Invitation
Bai Qianxi looked at her malicious smile and couldn't help but frowned. She had a bad premonition and sure enough, she heard An continue to speak.

"But... I see your veil is dry and smooth, so your face must have gotten better too. It's just a headache for your father to come in and take care of the relationship. It's not safe for a little girl like you to keep so much money on you. Why not give it to your father to keep!"

Bai Qianxi sneered in her heart, and then said, "Even if I disappoint my mother, the festering on my face has improved, but it will still take some time to treat. As for the silver, I have already bought the herbs. I can't give the herbs to my father for safekeeping and then go to him every day to ask for them!"

"Nonsense! How could all eight hundred taels of silver be spent!" An almost stood up, her voice loud and sharp.

Bai Qianxi raised her eyebrows, "Is mother not feeling uncomfortable?"

An's eyes flashed with embarrassment, but she still said stubbornly, "Don't change the subject, you just want to keep the money for yourself!"

"Haha!" Bai Qianxi couldn't help but sneer, "First of all, I earned this money, so I have the right to use it myself! Secondly, my face is destroyed, and my mother doesn't care about me, but she also tried to stop me from getting treatment. Now she wants to deprive me of the money for facial treatment! I don't know how people will judge this if this gets out!"

"you……"

"Okay!" Bai Yan said, but his eyes were still filled with greed, and he spoke in a righteous tone, "Your mother is also doing this for the good of the family. However, if you want to treat your injuries, you won't need eight hundred taels. So you can keep one hundred taels, and I will keep the rest for you!"

"That's it, go get it for me!" Bai Yan frowned when he saw Bai Qianxi didn't move.

Bai Qianxi laughed.

"why are you laughing!"

"Of course I am laughing at my father's face!"

Bai Yan was stunned, "What do you mean!"

"My face doesn't look that big, but why is it so thick?" Bai Qianxi said in a flat voice, each word was concise, but her puzzled look was extremely insulting.

"..."

"You bastard! You are going to say that I am thick-skinned!" Bai Yan shouted loudly!
Bai Qianxi was not afraid at all and continued, "Eight hundred taels of silver, but I still have four hundred taels left, I can give it to you, but..."

"But what!" Bai Yan asked with a frown.

“But if you accept the four hundred taels of silver, you need to write me a contract, which states that you will cut off all financial dealings with me from now on. If I get into trouble and owe you money, it has nothing to do with you, but the money I earn has nothing to do with you either!
Of course, I don't use a cent of the expenses in this mansion, and I don't take a cent when I'm sick or injured. Of course, I haven't used any of these for so many years, and I haven't seen any monthly silver! "

In the past, she had to do some work to earn some money, and also rely on some things that her mother secretly left behind to make a living. Life was very difficult.

Bai Yan's face turned pale, but he remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Although she had established contact with the Cheng family, she also offended the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the young master of the Cheng family had a close relationship with the Third Prince. Now that the Third Prince had been deprived of his military power and had lost the emperor's favor, the Cheng family would inevitably be implicated by the Third Prince in the future.

It would be better to agree to this girl now, so as not to be implicated by her ignorant character! "

"Okay! Since you want this, then your father will agree to it!"

Bai Yan spoke, then asked his servants to bring paper and pen, and soon a contract was written.

Bai Qianxi took the deed and pressed her fingerprint on it, her eyes full of satisfaction, then she readily handed him the four hundred taels of silver.

"Thank you, father!" she smiled, nodded, turned and left.

Who knew that just as he reached the door, he saw a servant leading an unfamiliar maid in. "Master, someone from the Zhao family is here!"

Hearing the name Zhao family, Bai Qianxi also stopped, and heard the maid just leaning forward slightly and speaking.

"Hello everyone. My wife sent me to deliver the invitation. Recently, the Zhao family got a few rare plum trees, so we specially set up a plum blossom viewing banquet. I hope Madam Bai can bring the ladies and young ladies to go first when she is free."

Bai Yan's face showed a hint of surprise. After such a long time, the Zhao family finally let go of their grudges!

He held the deed in his hand, feeling that his fortune had changed only because he had settled the financial affairs with the girl, and he couldn't help but feel more satisfied.

Mrs. An was even more delighted and did not bother to pretend to be sick. She quickly stood up, took the invitation from the maid and read it carefully.

"Please tell Madam Zhao that I will be there in three days."

The maid nodded calmly. Just when everyone thought she was going to leave, she turned around and walked towards Bai Qianxi. Then she took out a gold-stamped invitation from her sleeve and handed it to her respectfully. "This is my VIP invitation. The eldest lady specifically asked me to give it to you personally! Since the fifth lady is here, I don't have to look for you anymore!"

Not only was the note in her hand obviously different from the one that had just been handed to An, but even the maid's attitude was completely different.

Everyone was speechless, especially Bai Yan and An. The head of the family did not even have the face of a little concubine's daughter.

Is the Zhao family blind?

But even though they thought so in their hearts, they did not dare to ask until Bai Qianxi spoke.

"How do you know it's me?"

"Madam said that Fifth Miss likes to wear a veil, which makes her look even more elegant and refined. It's not hard to tell!" The maid said, and bowed respectfully to Bai Qianxi, "Miss, please come on time in three days. I'll go back first!"

After the maid left, Bai Qianxi felt better when she saw the two people were frustrated. She then raised the gold-stamped invitation in her hand and said, "It's quite heavy. I wonder how much silver it would be worth if the gold was torn off!"

Having said that, he walked away in a swagger, not caring about the murderous looks from Bai Yan and An.

"Master, look at her..." An pulled Bai Yan's sleeve and cried.

Bai Yan was already annoyed, and he threw away his sleeves, and the contract in his hand was crumpled into a ball!
……

On the other side, Bai Qianxi returned and took Bai Wangqi out of the house.

Now that she had the deed, her motivation to make money was even stronger. Since the Zhao family banquet was to be held in three days, most of the wives and relatives of the high-ranking officials in the imperial capital would surely attend. By then, perhaps this could be the first step in making a name for her medicinal cuisine!
But I have to hurry and find this store.

As expected, hard work pays off. Near dusk, she finally found a suitable place. With the help of Bai Wangqi's amazing hearing and Bai Qianxi's strategic skills, she was able to secure the store at the cheapest price.

In the next two days, except for Bai Yulang who came to Bai Qianxi's courtyard once, there were no other uninvited guests.

Bai Qianxi was happy to have some free time and began to prepare the things she needed.

Soon, it was the day of the plum blossom viewing banquet at the Zhao residence.

After Bai Qianxi was dressed, she got on the carriage to Zhao's Mansion with Bai Wangqi, amid the resentful looks of An and Bai Qianyi.
