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

Chapter 33 I am a distinguished guest
At this time, the Zhao Mansion was crowded with people. Bai Qianxi wore a white dress with a green veil covering her face and a red fox fur cloak on the outside. She was simple and elegant yet noble. In this world covered in silver, she was like a blooming wintersweet, which made people's eyes bright and wonder whose girl she was.

When Zhao Yiran, who was accompanying the Third Madam to greet guests at the door, saw the woman, she looked at her and touched the Third Madam's arm.

"Mother, look at that cloak. Is it the one that my great aunt got?" Zhao Yiran looked at her angrily and said dissatisfiedly, "I asked my great aunt for it last time. She said she was going to give it to an important person. I didn't expect it to be given to such a girl who doesn't even dare to show her face!"

Mrs. Zhao San was unhappy when she saw this. Her daughter, Zhao Yiran, was the only grandchild in the Zhao family, so any good things given by the elders in each branch would be given to her first.

I didn't expect that this fine fox fur cloak was not given to Yaran, but to an outsider!
Bai Qianxi naturally had no idea that she was being hated just because of a cloak.

She walked to the front door of the mansion and just signaled Bai Wangqi to give the invitation to the housekeeper at the door, when she heard a woman's voice pretending to be surprised.

"This cloak fits this girl quite well. It didn't fit me so well when I tried it on. Fortunately, it wasn't lost, otherwise it would have been a waste!" Zhao Yiran had a look of regret on her face, but what she meant was that the things she was wearing were just picked up from other people's unwanted things.

This also caused the expressions of the people around who had just praised her outfit to change, and they looked at Bai Qianxi with scrutiny and disdain.

Bai Qianxi, Bai Wangqi who was standing beside her, whispered to her the conversation between mother and daughter that he had just heard.

Bai Qianxi understood and sneered, then said, "This lady, do you mean that the gifts your family gave are things they don't want?"

"......" Zhao Yiran was stunned. This was not a pleasant thing to say.

After all, the Zhao Mansion is a marquisate, and their status and reputation are among the upper class of noble families. If they really acknowledge her, wouldn’t that be slapping their own faces!

But if she doesn't admit it, then what she said just now would be contradictory to herself!
Just as she was secretly pinching her palms and didn't know what to say, Mrs. Zhao San smiled kindly and said quickly, "Miss, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. It's because the eldest sister-in-law said that your body size is similar to Ran'er's, so she asked her to help try."

Bai Qianxi looked at the face in front of her that looked similar to the woman just now, and listened to her words. Her face did not look much better because of this, but she was too lazy to pay attention. Just as she was about to accept the invitation and enter the mansion, she heard another sharp voice behind her.

"Bai Qianxi? It really is!" Li Miaomiao walked forward with a vicious look in her eyes.

When everyone heard her words, they couldn't help but talk.

"Bai Qianxi? Is she the Bai family member who just returned to the imperial city to take up a post?"

"I don't know either, but wasn't there a rumor a while ago that there were two girls in the Bai family, one was the talented Bai Qianyi, and the other was the incompetent Bai Qianxi? These two are equally famous, but... I heard that although the Bai and Zhao families are related by marriage, it seems that they have some grudges and haven't been in contact for many years!"

The guests were talking about it, and Li Miaomiao's face became even more magical. She said proudly, "Mrs. Zhao San, please watch out and don't let in those villains who don't have invitations and only want to cling to power, and disrupt the plum blossom viewing banquet!"

When Zhao Yiran saw that someone was looking for trouble with Bai Qianxi, she could hardly hide the joy on her face. It was only until the Third Madam reminded her that she stopped herself.

However, the contempt in everyone's eyes did not make Bai Qianxi feel uncomfortable. She was relaxed and just glanced at Li Miaomiao lightly. Then she took the invitation from Bai Wangqi and showed it in front of her.

"As for the invitation, I definitely have it, but it may be different from the one in Miss Li's hand!" Bai Qianxi said, her watery eyes falling on the ordinary invitation in her hand. It didn't hurt much, but it was extremely insulting.

"You... How is it possible? How could you have such a post? My Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't even have one!" Li Miaomiao shouted in disbelief! Bai Qianxi said, "Of course I am more likable than your Prime Minister's Mansion! But you'd better not yell. I can smell a fishy smell even with my veil on!"

As she spoke, Bai Qianxi exaggeratedly fanned herself with her hands.

Li Miaomiao's face flushed instantly. How could she not understand the meaning of her words?

When she thought about the fact that she had been drinking boy's urine for seven days, she felt nauseous again. If she hadn't seen them preparing the medicine on a whim, she would still be kept in the dark!

"Bitch! You still have the nerve to say that. And this invitation of yours must have been stolen! Otherwise, why would they give this VIP invitation to a wild girl like you!" Li Miaomiao said again.

The people around also turned around from their previous shock and agreed with Li Miaomiao's words. After all, everyone present now thought that they were of higher status than Bai Qianxi! They didn't have it, so why did she have it!
Just when the situation was about to break out, a maid came quickly into the yard. When she saw Bai Qianxi, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Miss Bai Wu, so you are here. The Madam saw that you were late, so she sent me to check on you!"

Seeing that the person coming was the maid who delivered the invitation that day, Bai Qianxi nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."

Bai Qianxi ignored everyone and finally raised her eyebrows at Li Miaomiao, then followed the maid into the mansion.

The people who had been watching the fun behind them all opened their mouths wide in surprise.

But she didn't know that not long after she went in, another carriage from the Bai family slowly drove over. An and Bai Qianyi were dressed up, and when they handed out the ordinary invitation, they were looked at with either scrutiny or contempt, which made them feel inexplicable. The smiles on their faces froze.

……

Led by her maid, Bai Qianxi soon arrived at the plum blossom viewing banquet. When Madam Zhao saw her, her eyes suddenly lit up. She strode over to her side and warmly took her hand.

"You know what, this dress suits you perfectly, and this hairpin is also very pretty! A girl should dress up beautifully. I have just ordered a new headpiece, and I will send it to you when it is ready!"

Mrs. Zhao's face was full of smiles, and her eyes were full of love and satisfaction when she looked at Bai Qianxi. This enthusiasm not only made Bai Qianxi uncomfortable, but even the guests who had been present nearby widened their eyes in surprise.

Although Madam Zhao is cheerful and hospitable, she always has her moments of advance and retreat, and is warm but sharp. I have never seen her treat anyone like this. If you don't know her, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she is her biological daughter!

"Who is this person? How could Madam Zhao think so highly of him?"

"I don't know. It's hard to see clearly with the veil on. This outfit is probably for some wealthy lady who doesn't go out often."

"Could it be that Madam Zhao wants to train this girl as her own family member?" The lady who spoke had a hint of something in her eyes, and she exchanged a glance with the lady next to her, gossiping intent was evident in her expression!

Madam Zhao seemed not to have heard the discussion. She took Bai Qianxi's hand and walked in front of the crowd. She introduced with a smile on her face, "This is Bai Qianxi, the fifth daughter of the Bai family who was transferred back from Qingzhou..."
