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

Chapter 69 Family Banquet Troubles
"Have you heard? Our great general is returning to the capital, and I'm afraid he will arrive in the imperial capital soon. By then, Dongli will be very lively."

"What is this? Your news is too late. Let me tell you, my second uncle's sister-in-law's younger sister is a maid in the palace. I heard that the general will arrive in the imperial capital today, and our emperor is preparing to come to welcome him personally."

On the way home from the herbal medicine room, Bai Qianxi suddenly heard the discussions of the people around her and her eyebrows moved.

General?
Bai Qianxi recalled from the original owner's memory that it seemed that the original owner's second brother Bai Yushu had followed the general to join the army.

Now that the general is back, I'm afraid the original owner's second brother will also come back with him. No wonder the Bai family has been so lively recently.

However, these things have nothing to do with her. The original owner seemed to have always respected her second brother. Unfortunately, it was her turn now. Bai Qianxi had no feelings for this second brother.

Back in the courtyard, Bai Qianxi continued to live her life leisurely.

As long as no one provokes her, she will not take the initiative to provoke others.

Not long after Bai Qianxi lay down, someone came from the main courtyard. It was the nanny beside An.

"Fifth Miss, the Master and his wife asked you to go to the front yard. The Second Young Master will be back soon. Everyone in the mansion must go out to greet him."

"Got it." Bai Qianxi opened her eyes and glanced at the person who came, with a lazy attitude.

Seeing that Bai Qianxi didn't take her words to heart at all, Nanny Chen's face turned unhappy, "Fifth Miss, what's your attitude?"

"As a servant, what's your business about my attitude?" Bai Qianxi sat up and looked at Nanny Chen coldly.

In the past, this old guy followed An and often took the opportunity to bully the original owner.

Bai Qianxi exuded an aura that was captivating. When Nanny Chen was stared at with such a look, her hair stood on end, as if she was being stared at by a wild beast.

Thinking of the last time she was beaten, she subconsciously shrank her neck, feeling a little bit lacking in confidence, "Fifth Miss, I am the Madam's person."

"So what? You are still a dog of the Bai family. Since I am the daughter of the Bai family, I am your master. Even if I beat you to death here, I believe my mother will not blame me because of her reputation of being gentle and virtuous."

Bai Qianxi raised her eyes coldly, and Nanny Chen broke out in a cold sweat on her back. Thinking of the recent changes in the Fifth Young Lady, the madness in her was getting more and more intense.

Looking at Nanny Chen's anxious look in front of her, Bai Qianxi felt a little bored and slowly stood up.

"Didn't you say the master and his wife were looking for me? Let's go."

In the lobby, Bai Yan and others were already getting a little impatient, and An and Bai Qian were beside them, trying to persuade them softly.

Until finally I saw Bai Qianxi appear.

"Look at you. Today is the auspicious day when your second brother comes back. How can you drag your feet like this? Also, don't you know how to dress up and wear something festive?" Bai Yan frowned and scolded as soon as they met.

"Dress up? Celebrate?" Bai Qianxi tilted her head, revealing an innocent look. "Father wants me to dress up, but he also has to give me something to dress up with. From childhood to adulthood, have you ever given me any rouge, powder, brocade, or silk?"

"you……"

Bai Yan pointed with his hand and was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and put his hand down. "Forget it, just leave it like this. Your second brother is probably about to arrive at the door. Let's go."

Bai Qianxi gave Bai Yan a mocking look.

Bai Yan just pretended not to see it, but the embarrassment on his face still revealed his thoughts.

At the gate of Bai Mansion, a group of people came over in a mighty manner. The leader was sitting on a handsome white horse, dressed in white, with outstanding grace.

When he saw Bai Fu and the others coming out, he immediately jumped off his horse with graceful movements. "Father, mother, I am unfilial and I am late."

"It's not too late, it's not too late. It's good that you're back. My good boy, you've lost weight." An reached out to Bai Yushu with a touched look on her face.

Bai Yan's expression was also moved.

Bai Qianyi also spoke up, with a somewhat sad look on her pitiful face, and hesitated to speak, "Second brother, you are finally back. If you hadn't come back, my parents would have lost so much hair due to worry during this period of time. My fifth sister...sigh..."

Only Bai Qianxi remained calm and composed, standing next to this family like an outsider.

"Yiyi, what happened?" Bai Yushu asked anxiously upon hearing the words.

Today was supposed to be a happy day for his family to reunite, but he didn't expect that his favorite sister would look so sad.

Hearing her words again, Bai Yushu subconsciously looked at Bai Yan and An Shi's faces, and as expected, he saw the hint of sadness between their brows.

Bai Yushu's heart tightened. Could something have happened at home while he was away?
Thinking of Bai Qianxi mentioned by Yi'er, Bai Yushu turned his head and looked at people.

Seeing Bai Yushu's actions, Bai Qianyi subconsciously spoke with concern, "Second brother, don't blame the fifth sister, she is just young and ignorant..."

Once these words are spoken, the situation becomes even more suspicious.

Bai Yushu withdrew his gaze, feeling that something was hidden from him at home. He was eager to find out what had happened.

But thinking of his colleagues who had returned with him, Bai Yushu turned around and said, "Everyone, I still have some things to deal with in my residence, so I won't keep you here for now. We can get together again when we have time."

"Okay, okay. We haven't been home for a long time. Now we just want to go back to our wife and children. Goodbye, Mr. Bai!"

"Farewell!"

"Let's go inside and talk." Bai Yushu helped the two elders into the house. "By the way, where's the third brother? Why don't I see him?"

"He is still on duty. Some time ago, Yu Lang was noticed by the Third Prince and was made the captain of the Golden Feather Guard. But looking at the time, he knows that you will be back today, so he should be home soon." Bai Yan explained with a smile.

As a father, he is proud to see his second son achieve such success.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

While the two were chatting, a surprised voice sounded behind them, "Second brother, you are finally back!"

"Yeah, it's been a while since I last saw you. You look a lot healthier than before!"

The two chatted enthusiastically, as if they had endless things to say.

All the way to the restaurant.

Bai Qianyi suddenly spoke, instantly drawing everyone's attention to Bai Qianxi, "Fifth sister, parents haven't sat down yet, why did you sit down first? Even if you are hungry, you should wait for parents and brothers to sit down first."

Bai Yushu didn't think anything of it at first, but he couldn't help but frowned after hearing this, "Fifth sister, when Yi'er said that just now, I was wondering if there was any misunderstanding. Now it seems that you are indeed lacking some etiquette. How can you be so unruly?"

"Second brother, what are you talking about! Xier didn't mean it. Besides, we are all family. This is a family dinner. Why do we have to make such a clear distinction between first come first served?" Bai Yulang said.
