Bai Shimu first saw Gu Jueye on news reports. He was from a prestigious family, exceptionally handsome and elegant. Her first impression of him? "A demon!"
The second time she met Gu ...
"Xiao Huan, thankfully you notified us in time. The wound on Miss Si's forehead is nothing serious. As long as we apply the medicine and wait for the scab to fall off, there won't be any problems."
Xiao Huan asked with red eyes, "Dr. Xing, will my young lady be left with a scar?"
Dr. Xing smiled and said, "No, Miss Fourth is still young, and the stone she bumped into wasn't sharp; it only broke the surface."
Hearing this, Xiao Huan breathed a sigh of relief and took out a piece of silver from her sleeve.
"Thank you, Dr. Xing. I'll see you out."
Dr. Xing accepted the money and handed a bottle of medicine to Xiao Huan.
"Remember to apply the medicine to the Fourth Miss."
"Xiao Huan remembers."
As Dr. Xing left, he glanced at Bai Qianmo. Although he hadn't had much contact with this fourth young lady, he had still managed to get through some of her troubles.
I heard that this girl was sent to a country estate when she was young, and was only recently brought back home.
Sigh, he's a pitiful person, unloved by his father and mother.
Xiao Huan saw Dr. Xing off.
Bai Qianmo glanced around.
The unfamiliar room looked dilapidated and didn't seem like the room a young lady of the Xu family should live in.
My gaze fell to the window, and a cold wind swept by, scattering maple leaves all over the blue brick floor.
Judging from the season, it should be late autumn.
"Fourth Miss, are you feeling any better? Does your wound hurt?" Xiao Huan walked in and looked at Bai Qianmo with concern.
Pulling herself back to reality, Bai Qianmo calmly stared at Xiao Huan.
"You just said that I'm engaged to someone named Yin Heng?"
"Miss, you really don't remember anything?"
Bai Qianmo shook her head. She wasn't Xu Jin'en at all, so how could she possibly remember?
"You and Young Master Yin Heng were betrothed since childhood, arranged by the old master and the old master of the Yin family. However, when you were five years old, the old master and his wife passed away one after another, and the master made his second concubine his official wife..."
When the second concubine was mentioned, a look of fear appeared on Xiao Huan's face.
She hurriedly went outside and glanced around.
After confirming that no one else was in the yard, he quickly closed the door.
Only then did he cautiously approach Bai Qianmo.
"She can't be called Second Madam anymore. She's now the legitimate First Madam of the Xu family, and the second young lady's birth mother. The First Madam has always wanted to marry the second young lady to Young Master Yin Heng, and since they're childhood sweethearts, the master also has this idea..."
Bai Qianmo listened quietly.
Yin Heng?
She was familiar with the name; in her dream, she had seen Xu Jin'en and Yin Heng talking.
She had even seen that name in a bar in that modern world.
Unexpectedly, Yin Heng and Xu Jin'en had been betrothed since childhood.
So why did Xu Jin'en later marry Xu Changchong?
Yes, Xuchang Chong!
Now that she's come to this era, won't she be able to meet Xu Changchong again?
He also has the surname Xu. Could it be that Xu Changchong is the adopted son of Master Xu or something?
"In other words, now Master Xu... that is, my father and the First Madam want the Second Miss to marry Yin Heng, and I, who am already engaged to Yin Heng, have become an obstacle for them?"
Judging from the room she was living in, Xu Jin'en was definitely not well-liked by Master Xu.
Xiao Huan nodded indignantly: "Master has long wanted the Second Miss to marry into the Yin family in your place. Unfortunately, the Yin family patriarch is still alive. Back then, he and Old Master Xu personally arranged this marriage. In order to fulfill the agreement with Old Master Xu, Old Master Yin insisted that you marry Young Master Yin Heng. Master had no choice but to bring you back from the farm."
Bai Qianmo roughly understood.
"So how did I get hurt? Did I commit suicide because of love?"
That can't be right. From what she knows of Xu Jin'en, she's a woman with both wisdom and skill.
Moreover, her way of thinking was far ahead of the social environment at the time.
How could a woman like that possibly commit suicide for a man?
Xiao Huan shook her head: "You seemed very down all day. I accompanied you for a walk in the garden. I thought it was going to rain, so I came back to get you a cloak. But when I went back to find you, I saw you lying next to a big rock with a lot of blood on your forehead. It scared me to death."
Bai Qianmo fell into deep thought.
The ground where Xu Jin'en fell was flat. How could a perfectly healthy person fall like that?
And, by sheer coincidence, they bumped into a large rock.
If it weren't for the smooth surface of that stone, this face would probably be completely ruined.
Thinking of something, Bai Qianmo touched her face.
Could it be that the other party just wants to ruin her face?
Just as I was wondering what was going on, I heard a clear sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Fourth Miss!" A woman's voice rang out from outside the door.
Xiao Huan looked on guard, as if facing a formidable enemy, and got up to open the door.
The door opened, and Bai Qianmo glanced at the two people standing outside.
The leader was a woman in her forties, with a fashionable hairstyle and dressed in brocade and silk.
Behind her followed a young maid, about fifteen or sixteen years old, who carried a tray with her head bowed and followed the woman into the house step by step.
The woman laughed and said, "Why are you closing the door in broad daylight? Or is there something you're hiding?"
These unpleasant words made the woman's smile appear even more fake.
Xiao Huan was a little angry: "Aunt Yu, don't talk nonsense. Our fourth young lady is an innocent girl. What shameful things could she possibly have? I just felt that it was getting cold and that my young lady was weak, so I closed the door."
