The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.
Chapter 34: Zhao Mansion's Savior
Chapter 34: Zhao Mansion's Savior
Mrs. Zhao's words immediately made everyone explode.
"The fifth daughter of the Bai family? I heard that Bai Wuniang is not only ugly, but also uneducated and a complete idiot. When I saw her dressing and demeanor just now, I thought she was the daughter of some wealthy family! It turns out she was just pretending!"
"Who said it wasn't true? However... this girl has a bad reputation and she is the daughter of a minor official. How come Madam Zhao is also in contact with her and is so friendly?"
"You don't even know this. Before the Bai family left the Imperial City, they were related to the Zhao family by marriage. It's just that they seemed to have had some conflicts over the years and have not been in touch with them. They suddenly got in touch again, so I guess they have resolved the misunderstanding!"
"But... even if we were to contact each other, we shouldn't be close to a little concubine who is not very talented or pretty. After all, she is the Fourth Miss Bai! After all, she is a talented woman who left her calligraphy in Xianju Hall!"
"You can't say that. I saw this girl at the Cheng family banquet last time. Her cleverness and courage are not comparable to those of any other girl!"
Everyone had different opinions, but the protagonist of the topic was calm and indifferent. When Madam Zhao saw Bai Qianxi like this, her admiration for her increased, but she was no longer happy towards other people. She gradually restrained the smile on her face, and her generous and gentle face looked a bit different when she was not smiling, becoming sharp.
"Thank you for remembering who my Zhao Mansion associates with. However, the reason this girl can come as a distinguished guest is not because she is from the Bai Mansion, but because she is the savior of my mother-in-law and a great benefactor of my Zhao Mansion! Of course, I like her because she deserves it!"
As she spoke, she looked at Bai Qianxi again, her smile returning to her face, and she said, "It's strange to say, but I felt very close to you the first time I saw you. If you don't mind, you can call me aunt like your three brothers in the future!
If someone deliberately causes trouble for you or bullies you, you can always tell your aunt! Even if your aunt risks her life, she will never let those people have an easy time. "
Although she was speaking to Bai Qianxi, her eyes were sweeping over the few people who had been gossiping, full of sharpness.
Madam Zhao was born a princess and had served in the army with her father when she was young. The pressure that had accumulated over the years was naturally not comparable to that of an ordinary lady, so all the people who had been pointing fingers just now fell silent.
Seeing this, some people who had not spoken also started to compliment him.
Madam Zhao was already accustomed to all this, but she was still worried that Bai Qianxi might not be able to adapt, so she patted Bai Qianxi's hand and took her directly to the upper seat.
Although the plum blossom viewing banquet is held outdoors, it is like a main hall, with seats ranked according to priority. Therefore, the closer the seat is to the main seat, the higher the status.
The main seat was naturally reserved for Madam Zhao. On the right side of the main seat was the eldest lady, and Bai Qianxi was arranged to sit next to her.
This is tantamount to expressing to everyone his importance to Bai Qianxi.
The guests arrived one after another. An and Bai Qianyi were stunned when they saw Bai Qianxi sitting in front of them. Thinking of the cold stares they had just received, they were filled with anger. However, due to the occasion, they suppressed their anger and walked towards the seat next to Bai Qianxi.
But the maid stopped her on her way, "Madam, young lady, where are your seats?"
Bai Qianyi looked at the inconspicuous corner pointed by the maid and immediately questioned, "Where do you want us to go?"
Seeing this, An pointed at Bai Qianxi and explained, "We are from the Bai family and we are together with her. I guess you got the wrong place!"
The maid glanced at Bai Qianxi, and then said calmly, "I am not mistaken. Miss Bai Wu's position was specially arranged by my eldest lady. Your position is indeed over there! Please come with me!"
Bai Qianyi was petrified at the scene. Just as she was about to get angry, An held her hand. Seeing the strange looks from everyone, she could only comfort Bai Qianyi and follow the maid.
But when he turned around, he still glared at Bai Qianxi angrily, but Bai Qianxi seemed not to see it, and she and Bai Wangqi were eating the fruit on the table intermittently.
It made her feel like she was punching cotton, which made her feel even more uncomfortable. Of course, she was also unhappy to see Bai Qianxi sitting there, and Li Miaomiao followed closely behind, but under Mrs. Li's warning, she could only suppress her temper and reluctantly sat in her position.
Following a message, the old lady came in surrounded by servants. She walked steadily and had a face stained by time. Although her skin was not as smooth and fair as that of a young person, it was rosy. Her eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and it was not difficult to tell from her facial features that she must have been a beauty when she was young!
"Meet the old lady!"
When everyone saw the person coming, they all stood up.
The old lady was famous when she was young, and was granted an imperial decree soon after she married Lord Zhao. This courtesy is quite respectful in terms of status and seniority here!
"When you come here, just treat it as your own home. Don't be polite. I'm an old woman who feels better now, so I came here to join in the fun. Please don't despise me!"
He smiled at the old lady, his eyes and brows showing kindness.
"The girl from the Bai family is here!" said the old lady. Bai Qianyi was delighted and was about to stand up, but Madam Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old lady to the main seat, then pulled Bai Qianxi over and introduced her.
"Mother, she is the girl who saved you on the street last time!"
"Hello, old lady!" Bai Qianxi stepped forward and bowed with a proper posture.
"I am old now, and I have not been able to come to your house in person to thank you. You won't blame me, will you?"
"What are you talking about, old lady? I just happened to pass by. It's just a small favor. Don't worry about it!"
Bai Qianxi spoke quickly and looked up to meet those kind eyes.
But the moment their eyes met, the old lady's pupils shrank slightly, and her originally casual face showed a strange look, which made Bai Qianxi puzzled.
"What happened to the old lady?"
The old lady came back to her senses and smiled again. She said embarrassedly, "Haha, I'm old. It's been a long time since I saw such clear and beautiful eyes. I was lost in thought for a moment. What a good temperament!"
The old lady nodded and then took Bai Qianxi's hand with a kind and friendly expression. Without any promise, she put the bracelet in her hand on her hand.
"I like you very much when I see you, and you saved me. Although this bracelet is not expensive, it is a token of my love for you, so I must keep it."
"Grandma...how could you give the bracelet to her!" Just when Bai Qianxi was about to refuse, she heard Zhao Yiran's voice, and saw her and Madam Zhao San hurriedly walked in.
"Grandma, this bracelet is your dowry. You have worn it for decades. How can you just give it to a maid of lowly status!" Zhao Yiran walked to the old lady, pulled her and said coquettishly.
The old lady's face darkened, which was unusual for her. "Don't talk nonsense!"
