Eldest Princess Jing An frowned. “What do you mean?”
Guo Ying said, “Think about it. Previously, Young Master threw flowers at her but was rejected. Actually, let me be fair. It’s very normal for him to be rejected. Although Young Master has a noble status, Fifth Miss Bai’s status is not low either. However, you bore a grudge against Fifth Miss Bai over this matter and would rather send an invitation to her distant relative than give Fifth Miss Bai an invite. Have you ever thought about who will suffer in the end?”
Eldest Princess Jing An thought for a moment and understood what she meant. She said in surprise, “You mean, it’s because of me… that she is treating Yun’er like this…”
“That’s right.” Guo Ying continued, “Think about it, Young Master has been depressed these past few days, but I heard that Fifth ATiss Bai has been strolling around the entire capital these few days. She’s so leisurely that she goes to all kinds of banquets. She seems to be in a good mood. In contrast, it’s obvious that Young Master has more thoughts about Fifth Miss Bai. To be honest, Fifth Miss Bai doesn’t seem to think of Young Master as a candidate to be her husband.”
Eldest Princess Jing An came back to her senses. “So, the more 1 target her, the colder she is to Yun’er, right?”
BoxNovel.comAfter saying that, she sneered. “This is the first time Yun’er has taken a fancy to a girl. It’s not that 1 don’t want to fulfill his wish, but this Bai Xianyu is too arrogant. Otherwise, why would I treat her like this?”
Guo Ying sighed and said, “That’s true, but Your Highness, in this world, there are always lovers who are hurt. Heartless people are carefree. The more you look down on her, the colder she is to Young Master… Actually, Fifth Miss Bai is quite compatible with Young Master. Be it her family background, looks, or personality, 1 heard that Fifth Miss Bai is vivacious. Young Master might need such a first wife.”
Eldest Princess Jing An did not say a word. After a moment, she said, “Let me think about it.”
How many days had it been since that incident? Did she have to put down her pride and seek peace with Bai Xianyu?
At least.
It would take a few more days.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. Bai Xianyu stood in the farm she had bought far away from the capital.
There was a large piece of farmland next to a large house.
At this moment, more than 30 children around the age of 11 were bouncing around and coming towards her.
Green Pearl said, “Miss, these are all beggar children from nearby. There are also a few poor tenant farmers who couldn’t afford to feed them anymore and took the initiative to send them over.”
A trace of pity flashed across Bai Xianyu’s face, but when she thought about the future, she had to make a choice.
Although there were dozens of secret guards in the residence, it was far from enough.
These children were just the beginning.
Her plan was three thousand.
Three thousand death guards.
“Settle their families properly,” Bai Xianyu said. “Let me know if you have any difficulties.”
Green Pearl nodded.
In fact, these people had signed a death contract when they were sent in. There were also many orphans. They knew their fate on the first day they came here. They might die one day.
But if they did not sign it, they might starve to death now.
When she asked someone to contact them, everyone was clamoring to risk their lives for the few gold ingots.
However, this was also a way out.
“Sister, you’re here!” A boy who ran very quickly and rushed up to Bai Xianyu. Although he was thin, he was very tall and his eyes were very bright.
Bai Xianyu had to look up to touch his head. “Is the food here delicious?”
The boy nodded, and the children behind him also nodded.
“I’ve never eaten such delicious food before. Sister is so good!”
“Sister is so beautiful. 1 also want to marry a wife like you in the future!”
“What are you talking about? We’ll all be Sister’s guards in the future. How can we get married? We just have to protect Sister!”
“Oh right, 1 forgot. Then I’ll protect Sister like a wife!”
A child’s words carried no harm.
The youngest among them was only nine years old.
Even in the 25th year of the Qian Era, he would only be 18 years old.
Bai Xianyu’s heart ached. “You have to learn well from Master. Not just to protect me, but also to protect yourselves.”
“Got it, Sister!”
“Alright, Sister!”
“Yes, yes!”
In the future, they would be the sharpest knives in her hands.
In the next few years, she would hand them all over to the Master who had taught Bai Li and the others.
If she could, she hoped there would never be a day when she would summon them.
When the time came, they would be able to marry and have children like ordinary people.
It was already late when they returned to the capital. When Bai Xianyu returned to the courtyard, a guard quickly presented her with a red invitation.
“Miss, this is an invitation from Eldest Princess Jing An.”
Bai Xianyu’s first reaction was, could it be that she had heard about Ji Shuang hurting Xie Xingyun that day?
She opened it and frowned.
Green Pearl asked curiously, “Miss, why did the Eldest Princess send you an invitation for no reason?”
It was to invite her to the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor.
“I don’t know either.” Bai Xianyu thought for a moment and said, “But I don’t think it’s a good thing.”
Green Pearl agreed wholeheartedly. “Miss, it’s better not to go over.”
“Yes, it is written here that it’s tomorrow. I’ll get someone to send a message over now and turn her down.” Bai Xianyu got someone to bring over a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and immediately replied.
Green Pearl nodded, took the letter, and got someone to deliver it.
Eldest Princess Jing An thought that she could ask Bai Xianyu over with an invitation, but she did not expect the invitation to be sent over again by nightfall.
“What else did your lady say?”
The guard who sent the letter over cupped his fists. “Miss said that she hasn’t been feeling well lately and it’s not convenient for her to come over, so she could only return the invitation to you.”
Eldest Princess Jing An snorted coldly. “You actually used such an excuse to brush me off?”
The guard said, “Your Highness, please calm down. My Miss is indeed not feeling well.”
“Alright, you may leave.”
The guard took two steps back, bowed, and replied, “Yes.” Then, he left.
Eldest Princess Jing An held her forehead. “Guo Ying, she’s not coming, what now?”
Guo Ying pondered for a while and did not speak.
“How’s the injury on Yun’er’s hand?” She sighed again. “He’s covered in injuries after going out on a trip. You were right before. He really needs someone by his side.”
“For his injuries on his hand and his back, the doctor has said that he needs to recuperate properly to avoid causing any illness in the future.”
Guo Ying also understood what Eldest Princess Jing An meant and gave her a way out. “Your Highness, since Fifth Miss Bai is unwell and can’t come, we can go to her residence. Didn’t you prepare a gift last time?”
Eldest Princess Jing An gestured for her to continue.
“Fifth Miss Bai is still a young lady. She’s a young lady and has been pampered since she was young. She won’t be able to calm down in a short period of time. If you’re more sincere, her attitude might be better,” Guo Ying said. “When that time comes, she might agree if you mention the marriage proposal again.”
Eldest Princess Jing An said, “You have a point.”
In the end, she said, “Then tell Yun’er that I’ve gone to the Bai Manor to propose marriage. Tell him to recuperate in peace..”
