After returning to the Bai family, Xiao Qingyin told Bai Musheng, "I want to attend the Jin family's birthday banquet."

Bai Musheng nodded: "I've prepared a set of clothes for you. Change into them first, and we'll go over together later."

"good."

It was a smoky-colored dress made of the golden silk unique to Nandan. When the light shone on it, it reflected the color of the sunset.

However, the skirt was very narrow, allowing only small steps. Xiao Qingyin felt as if she were wrapped up, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

Bai Musheng, however, was filled with amazement.

"She looks like a goddess emerging from the morning glow."

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

She felt like a silkworm pupa.

She suspected that Bai Musheng had given her a set of cumbersome clothes because he was afraid she would get lost at the Jin family's house.

However, thinking about what she would have to do after going to the Jin family, she did not change her clothes.

If used properly, this outfit might help her achieve twice the results with half the effort.

Upon arriving at the Jin family's residence, this attire indeed attracted considerable attention.

Wherever he went, people would whisper among themselves.

Xiao Qingyin didn't need to listen to know that what they were saying wasn't nice.

She stood there calmly, seemingly unaware of the commotion she had caused.

Just then, a mocking voice rang out from behind.

"Oh my, who is this? Dressed like a worm."

Xiao Qingyin turned around, and a familiar face came into view.

Her pupils shrank instantly.

The person who came was Jin Yueyue.

Jin Yueyue, with a face as dark as a snowball.

There were no scars on the edges of Jin Yueyue's face. Xiao Qingyin could tell at a glance that the face transplant had definitely taken more than ten hours.

In other words, Jin Yueyue changed her face right after kidnapping Shen Yanru last night.

Not even a single night was wasted.

Shen Yanru is very likely already...

Xiao Qingyin's heart sank.

Seeing her in a daze, Jin Yueyue felt a surge of smugness.

"What, are you stunned by my beauty?"

Xiao Qingyin stared at her intently: "I am indeed a little surprised. I remember you didn't look like this the last time we met."

Jin Yueyue laughed loudly.

She picked up the butterfly pendant hanging around her neck and asked Xiao Qingyin, "Do you know what this is?"

Xiao Qingyin shook her head.

Jin Yueyue said proudly, "This is our Jin family's family heirloom, the Golden Butterfly. We Jin family members are like butterflies, we will undergo a metamorphosis. After the metamorphosis, we are like a completely different person, completely transformed from before."

Xiao Qingyin's eyes turned cold.

What a remarkable transformation!

Did Jin Yueyue think she had never met Shen Yanru?

Otherwise, where would they get the nerve to spout such nonsense?

If this face hadn't belonged to Shen Yanru, she would have already slapped her dozens of times to teach her why the flowers were so red.

Thinking that Shen Yanru's whereabouts were still unknown, she held back.

He feigned surprise and said, "So you Jin family members aren't human, you're insects."

"You're the insect!"

Jin Yueyue looked furious.

"Look at what you're dressed like, you look like a caterpillar, how dare you come to a banquet? If you need clothes, you should have said so earlier. I have a whole room full of old clothes, every single one of them is better than what you're wearing, I'll give them all to you."

Xiao Qingyin looked flattered and surprised: "Really? You're really willing to give it to me?"

Jin Yueyue choked for a moment.

What's wrong with this person?!

Can't you understand that she's being sarcastic?

"Sigh, this outfit was a gift from my cousin," Xiao Qingyin sighed. "He said I looked like a goddess in it, but you all said I looked like a bug."

This outfit was actually a gift from Bai Musheng?!

Jin Yueyue was furious.

I wish I could tear Xiao Qingyin's dress off right now.

He originally offered to give Xiao Qingyin the clothes to mock her, but now he insists on giving them to her.

"Xiao Cui, go find her a change of clothes and have her change out of this one."

She said to the maid beside her.

The maidservant respectfully replied, "Yes, Miss, I'll go right away."

"I'll just go with her to change," Xiao Qingyin said to Jin Yueyue. "It seems there aren't any changing rooms in the banquet hall."

Jin Yueyue didn't think much of it and nodded.

However, she gave her maid a wink, signaling her to just find any old clothes for Xiao Qingyin.

Xiao Qingyin pretended not to see the flirtatious exchange between the mistress and servant.

After following the maid to Jin Yueyue's courtyard and finding no one around, Xiao Qingyin drugged the maid and extracted information about Shen Yanru from her.

Fortunately, Shen Yanru is still alive.

Just as he was hesitating about how to tell Yi Shuihan the information, another person appeared beside him.

Xiao Qingyin was startled.

"Why are you so quiet?"

Yi Shuihan chuckled: "If there were any noise, would I have been able to sneak in?"

"Come with me, Shen Yanru is in the basement of the west wing."

Xiao Qingyin greeted her.

The two successfully located the person.

Seeing Shen Yanru's face replaced with Jin Yueyue's original face, Xiao Qingyin's expression darkened.

"Can you take her away from here?"

"able."

"Then it's up to you."

After Yi Shuihan and Chen Yanru left, Xiao Qingyin woke up the maid.

The maid felt as if she had fallen asleep, or perhaps she had only closed her eyes for a moment.

Xiao Qingyin reminded her, "Where are your clothes?"

The maid realized what was happening and quickly went to Jin Yueyue's wardrobe to get a set of clothes.

A purple dress that looks very old-fashioned.

When she handed it to Xiao Qingyin, she was a little uneasy, afraid that Xiao Qingyin would make a fuss and ask for something else.

However, Xiao Qingyin said nothing and silently changed into the new clothes.

However, she used the belt from her original outfit.

The smoky-colored belt, like the finishing touch, gave this purple dress a completely new look.

The maid looked at Xiao Qingyin, who exuded an air of nobility, and felt extremely regretful.

Oh no, I'm definitely going to get punished later.

Xiao Qingyin didn't give the maid a chance to back out, urging, "Let's go, we should go back to the banquet."

The maidservant, with a dark expression, led her back to the banquet hall.

With most of the guests present, Xiao Qingyin's entrance drew the attention of all the female guests like a magnet.

Jin Yueyue nearly crushed the towel she was using to dry her hands.

She looked at the maid with a murderous gaze.

He cursed wildly in his mind.

They're more trouble than they're worth!

The maid shrank back and couldn't help but hide behind Xiao Qingyin.

When Jin Yueyue saw this, her anger flared even more.

Xiao Qingyin seemed oblivious to her expression and gracefully walked towards her.

"Thank you so much, Miss, for changing me into such a beautiful dress."

Jin Yueyue suddenly stood up, walked up to Xiao Qingyin, and said arrogantly, "Is purple something you can wear? Go change back into your old outfit."

Xiao Qingyin looked surprised: "Why can't I wear purple?"

Jin Yueyue said expressionlessly, "Purple is the color used by our four great families. It's not something an ant like you can use."

As soon as she finished speaking, her knees suddenly went weak, and she collapsed to her knees at Xiao Qingyin's feet with a thud.

A piercing pain struck, and she couldn't even utter a cry of pain.

Xiao Qingyin took two steps back, looking at her with a surprised expression.

"Why is the Second Miss bowing so deeply to me?"
