Just as Jin Er was about to turn around, Xu Mingxi remembered something and said to her, "Please post a few invitations for me. I will invite a few young ladies to Bixiao Tower in a few days to enjoy music and have a small gathering."

Jin'er agreed.

Xu Baiyu had a full view of the hustle and bustle of the Xu Mansion. She was jealous, but she knew better than ever that what was important was the Empress Dowager's "Autumn Appreciation Banquet" in a few days.

Xu Ruoyu and Xu Qingyun had been more sarcastic towards her in recent days. They simply thought that she had lost her concubine and had become the most worthless daughter in the Xu family, so their attitude towards her became even more unscrupulous.

Xu Baiyu's situation in the Xu Mansion at this time was really unsatisfactory. The servants were used to changing their attitude according to the situation, and seeing that Hanxing Courtyard had fallen into such a state, the service became more and more perfunctory. Not to mention the leftovers, they even made excuses for the daily cleaning.

Qiu Lian was a first-class maid, and she had reprimanded and admonished the little maids below her, but she was ignored:

"Oh, Sister Qiu Lian, I still respect you and call you sister. I am the only one in our courtyard who is still here. The other maids have found other masters, and I am the only one who is loyal to you.

How can one person do all this? If you can't bear it, you can do it yourself. I still have to boil water!"

"You!" Qiu Lian was so angry that she was speechless, and could only curse inwardly that you were all ungrateful people!

Xu Baiyu came out of the house: "Qiu Lian, there's no need to waste time talking to her. Follow me to the main courtyard."

The maid rolled her eyes nonchalantly and turned into the small kitchen.

"Miss, she! She's gone too far!"

"We are like fish on a chopping block now. If we are not careful, we don't know when we will die. We may meet with an accident, be poisoned, or end up like my mother."

Qiu Lian was a little scared and asked Xu Baiyu worriedly: "What should we do then, Miss?"

"It's okay. Didn't mother leave us a life-saving talisman?"

"Hmm? Miss, what are you talking about? Some life-saving talisman."

Xu Baiyu said nothing more, smoothed her skirt and walked towards the main courtyard of the Yang family.

Yang has been in high spirits recently. The annoying Rong is dead and her reputation is restored. That little bitch will be killed secretly with a little trick before Xier gets married. She actually snatched a man from her Xier. She really doesn't know what's good for her.

After she was gone, Xier felt more comfortable sitting on the throne of princess.

Thinking of this, Yang couldn't help humming a little tune.

A maid suddenly announced, "Madam, the eldest lady is here."

"Hmm? Xu Baiyu? Why did that little bitch come looking for me? Didn't she think she died quickly enough? I want to see what a little girl like her can do. Let it in!"

Xu Baiyu held her head high and chest out. Although she was wearing plain clothes, they were clean and tidy, without a trace of dreariness. She looked at Yang with cold eyes and performed the salute as a junior.

"lady."

Yang's disgust was not concealed at all. She peeled a fruit in her hand, and without even looking at her, she asked lazily, "What do you want?"

"Please ask the servants to leave, Madam."

Xu Baiyu is neither humble nor arrogant.

"What a joke! This is my yard. Why would you want to betray me? If you want to say something, just say it. If you don't want to say anything, get out of here!"

The words were sharp, without a hint of politeness.

Xu Baiyu was not annoyed, and stroked the hair on his temples: "Madam, you don't have to ask her to leave, but if someone else hears something, it will be hard to say.

Madam, I saw my aunt before she died, and she told me something——"

Yang was shocked. She suddenly straightened up from leaning on the couch, with her eyebrows raised, as if facing a great enemy.

"Everyone get out!"

After a while, Yang and Xu Baiyu were the only ones left in the room.

"what do you want to say in the end!"

Yang stood up and approached Xu Baiyu: "If I want your life now, I have ten thousand reasons to clear myself. The outside world will only know that you couldn't bear the pain of your aunt's death and followed your mother!"

"Madam, why do you think I dare to come here alone? How many people do you think know about this?

If I die, those people will quickly spread this secret. How can Madam stop them from talking? Moreover, this matter concerns the third house. If the people in the third house know about it, what do you think will happen?

I heard that the third sister has been very close to Prince Rong recently. Would he have taken revenge on the third sister? The third sister was very young at that time, and her mother suddenly fell ill. I am afraid she did not suspect anything——"

"You!" Yang never dreamed that Rong would tell this secret to the little bitch Xu Baiyu before she died!

When on earth did they meet under her nose!

Yang was furious. Her happy days had barely lasted a few days, but they ended just like that! ?

"what you up to!?"

"Nothing else, I just want to stay in the Xu family decently and give me everything I deserve. Madam, please don't treat me harshly."

As he spoke, he pretended to be submissive: "Of course, I will respect you as usual, Madam."

Yang tried her best to calm her agitated mood. Seeing her acting very similar to Rong, she closed her eyes and said viciously:

"I promise you! Before you get married, no one in the Xu Mansion will do anything to you!"

"In that case, thank you very much, mother.

By the way, mother, don’t think about interfering in the affairs of my courtyard, otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk.”

It was not until this time that she respectfully called Yang "Mother".

After saying that, he didn't care about Yang's expression and walked out of the room directly.

Yang threw down all the teacups on the table and shouted angrily, "Bitch, bitch! Both mother and daughter are bitches!"

The maids outside the house looked at each other, wondering why the lady, who was smiling just now, suddenly became so angry.

What did the eldest lady say to her?

Xu Baiyu led Qiu Lian back to Hanxing Courtyard: "From now on, no one will be disrespectful to us. You don't have to worry about being bullied.

Call the matchmaker, I want to buy some new servants."

"Miss, really!?"

Qiu Lian was surprised. The young lady really convinced the lady! She would never be bullied again!

"Well, even so, we still need to do something so that others will not look down on us. The Queen Mother's Autumn Appreciation Banquet will be held in a few days. The Queen Mother likes piano music. Go and invite a piano player.

I will definitely win first place in this Autumn Appreciation Banquet!"

"Yes, miss, I'll go right away."

"If you need money, you don't have to pay out of your own pocket. Just tell the lady directly and she will give it to you."

Qiu Lian was shocked: Really? Could the lady be so generous?

Although he had some doubts, seeing how confident Xu Baiyu was, he didn't think about it and went down happily to prepare.

Xu Baiyu looked at Chaohui Courtyard with a far-reaching gaze, thinking in his heart: "Xu Mingxi, do you think that you will have no worries if you marry Prince Qi? I will not let you have your way.

You see, by then, maybe we can live in the same house, share the same husband, and be sisters again!"
