“You’re not allowed to ask them to go there!” Old Madam trembled, looking extremely angry. “The items are all mine; they are all mine!”

She pulled Bai Yu’er and was about to leave when she said sternly, “If you want to touch my things, step over these old bones!”

Bai Xianyu only moved away from her and bowed. “Grandmother, don’t be too agitated. Take care of your health.”

Old Madam became even more agitated when she heard this. This wretched girl always had the ability to anger people half to death.

When she spoke, her voice was soft and delicate, yet every word pierced through one’s heart.

Bai Yu’er trembled, and she was wrapped in her cloak, not daring to look up.

“The rest of you, take Grandmother and Cousin far away and keep an eye on them.” Bai Xianyu was a little tired. She covered her face with her sleeve and yawned. “We’ll let them go after we get everything back.”

“Yes, Miss,” the guards replied in unison.

“Bai Xianyu, you ingrate!” Old Madam bared her fangs and brandished her claws. “If you really dare to touch those things today, I’ll bang my head against the wall and then go to the capital’s magistrate’s office to report you!”

Bai Yu’er grabbed Old Madam’s sleeve in fear, hoping that Bai Xianyu would compromise. If her things were really taken back, it would be even more undignified for her to go out in the future.

Grandmother had already said so much, she would definitely not take action.

Bai Xianyu walked into the house lazily, without even turning around. “If Grandmother wants to report me, our previous agreement will be voided. Bai Yu’er can forget about marrying into a good family.”

Old Madam and Bai Yu’er’s expressions changed at the same time.

Old Madam was so furious that she could not say a word. Her eyes were wide open, as if she was about to bite her in the next second.

Bai Yu’er suddenly woke up. She was still waiting for Bai Xianyu to bring her to those banquets and rely on her to get to know more people. If Bai Xianyu did not bring her along, she would not have such a chance to come into contact with those high-ranking officials and nobles!

She had originally come to the capital to find a good marriage.

“Grandmother, Grandmother, I don’t want to marry a country bumpkin. 1 want to stay in the capital…” Bai Yu’er pulled Old Madam’s sleeve and cried. After seeing the prosperity of the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor, she had completely given up on even the prefectural governor’s family that she had some thoughts about in the past. If she wanted to marry, she had to marry a high-ranking official in the capital!

“…Why don’t we return them to her, Grandmother?” Bai Yu’er sobbed. “When Yu’er gets to know a few young masters and get married to one of them, she will definitely give Grandmother more treasures in the future.”

Bai Yu’er was really afraid that if Bai Xianyu was in a bad mood, she would not bring her along anymore, so her tone was anxious.

Old Madam narrowed her eyes and watched as Bai Xianyu walked into the house without slowing down.

This wretched girl was certain that she would not dare to cause trouble because of Yu’er.

However, other than Bai Xianyu, no one else could bring Yu’er into the circle of the rich and powerful.

How hateful!

Old Madam was silent for a long time. Her dry lips trembled with anger before she said, “Forget it, forget it. Those things are not good. Your marriage is more important.”

However, from her pained expression, it was obvious that she was not telling the truth.

Bai Yu’er heaved a sigh of relief and wiped her tears. “Grandmother, you’re the best.”

However, she clenched her fists tightly under the cloak.

She was just a little useless.

Other grandmothers had already planned their granddaughter’s marriage, but she still had to listen to Bai Xianyu.

She had spent so many years in the capital in vain.

She even had to secretly take her granddaughter’s things. When Bai Xianyu was young, she could have just asked her to give them to her. How stupid.

After Bai Xianyu woke up, everything that Old Madam had taken away all these years was placed in the courtyard.

A few guards stood guard.

Old Madam, who was at the side, was furious but did not dare to say anything. Her eyes darted over from time to time, coveting.

Bai Yu’er was stunned.

She thought that her grandmother had only taken a little. Bai Xianyu had clearly only simply circled it in the account book just now, but there was actually so much!

The table was all piled up with things and could not accommodate more items. They were all placed on the stone bench!

Every single item was golden and valuable. Even Bai Yu’er felt the pinch, let alone Old Madam.

Bai Xianyu glanced at them. “Send them to my storeroom after counting.”

“Yes, Miss.”

Old Madam hugged Bai Yu’er tightly and gritted her teeth. “You will still bring Yu’er around, right?”

Bai Xianyu smiled meaningfully. “Yes, Grandmother, don’t worry.”

Bai Yu’er was delighted. It was good that she could still bring her around.

Although she did not have a good family and might not be able to marry a man like Xie Xingyun, her cousins had a good reputation. Coupled with her appearance and figure, she should be able to become the proper wife of a high-ranking official!

“I came to look for you today because of this.” Old Madam suppressed her anger and said, “Yesterday, Prince Kang’s Manor sent you an invitation to watch a show. Bring Yu’er along. She might be able to meet a suitable person in his residence.”

Bai Xianyu was not surprised. In her previous life, Prince Kang had also sent her an invitation, but she had rejected it.

Li Jing, Prince Kang, was Emperor Wu Xuan’s third prince. He was two years older than her and was a good dancer. He often invited opera troupes to perform in the Prince’s Manor. There were also some relatives and noble daughters. Those who had a good relationship with him would go and support him.

If she wanted to resolve it, she had to leave no room for trouble.

Bai Xianyu nodded and smiled. “I’ll bring her there tomorrow.”

Old Madam and Bai Yu’er looked at each other excitedly.

Prince Kang was not the first nor the eldest, but he was weak and sickly when he was young. His mother, Consort Rong, was in the prime of her life at that time, so Emperor Wu Xuan bestowed him this title.

When they arrived at the entrance to Prince Kang’s Manor, Green Pearl helped Bai Xianyu out of the carriage. When the guards of Prince Kang’s Manor saw this, they were all surprised for a moment before someone reported inside.

Bai Yu’er did not sit in the same carriage as Bai Xianyu. Instead, she sat in the one behind. Seeing that Bai Xianyu had no intention of waiting for her, she quickened her movements and jogged over. “Cousin, wait for me.”

At this moment, Bai Xianyu had already walked in. The main courtyard was very spacious, and the stage had already been set up. There were a few rows of private seats under the stage. She looked over and saw many familiar people.

However, although there were many people, there was basically no noise. Therefore, Bai Yu’er’s voice immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone was still curious about this unfamiliar person when they turned around and saw Bai Xianyu.

Some of the men’s contemptuous gazes instantly changed as they fanned themselves and discussed.

“Bai Xianyu’s cousin? This must be the Second Miss of the General’s Manor that my sister mentioned the other day. She’s not bad-looking either…”

“She’s indeed not bad. I wonder if her marriage has been fixed.”

Everyone was making calculations in their hearts.

Even if they could not marry Bai Xianyu, it wouldn’t be bad to marry her cousin.

He might even be able to obtain the help of the General’s Manor. With the status of her cousins in the court, he would probably be able to rise to the top with a word.

“Xianyu?”
