After Bai Yuzhi died from an illness, she was bound to a system and gained a ...
How could the other ladies not see what Lin Xiaosheng was thinking, but since Bai Yuzhi herself agreed, they really couldn't say anything.
Some people refused, not wanting to get involved in this mess: "I'm having a great time right now, so I won't go."
But some people didn't want to miss the fun, so they stood up and prepared to join in without saying anything.
The hostess like Mrs. Guan had to go even if she didn't want to. She approached Bai Yuzhi and tried to persuade him kindly: "Yuzhi, listen to me, this Miss Lin is not an easy person to deal with. She is setting a trap for you."
Bai Yuzhi was well aware of Lin Xiaosheng's ruthlessness. But she had her own plans, and Bai Yuzhi had her own tactics.
Just when he was worried about how to get rid of these two troublesome things, Bai Yuzhi must not miss this opportunity that Lin Xiaosheng brought to him.
Ever since An Jinchou said that, she has been staring at Bai Yuzhi's expression. She came here with a goal, and she will not give up easily if she fails to achieve it.
Perhaps she had discovered something from Bai Yuzhi's unusual attitude. The girl who had just said she wanted to accompany Bai Yuzhi to the inner room to hide from the trouble said something completely different: "Madam Guan, let's go together. General Xu is still downstairs anyway, and Miss Bai might feel more at ease."
The meaning of her words was very clear. She saw that Bai Yuzhi wanted to go down, so she pointed out that Xu Hanshan was down there to tell Madam Guan that as long as he went down there, she would have no responsibility and there was no need to stop him.
Madam Guan hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed: "In that case, let's go together."
A group of people walked out of the door, accompanied by Lin Xiaosheng, Bai Yuzhi, Madam Guan and An Jinchou, who had been walking beside Bai Yuzhi without moving.
The rest of the people followed closely behind, wanting to watch the fun without taking any responsibility.
Just walking like this, for a moment it can be considered harmonious.
They were inside the second floor. To get to the stairs on the first floor, they had to go through a corridor. From this corridor, they could see part of the area below. Bai Yuzhi saw the girl looking around below at a glance.
Xu Lan had been trapped in the Xu family for more than half a month, and she looked visibly haggard. However, on this occasion today, she was still wearing a Western dress as usual, and she looked very sweet.
Standing next to her was a slightly thin young man, about the same age as her. He looked at Xu Lanyin left and right, with a bit of doting in his eyes.
This person is probably Guan Tong’s nephew Jin Pengyue.
Speaking of Guan Tong, his name was Jin Tong in his early years, but a blind fortune teller told him that this surname would bring bad luck to his fortune. Later, he seemed to have encountered several disasters, so he had to change his surname.
When Bai Yuzhi saw this description, he thought that the blind fortune teller might be a person from outside this world, but since he had no chance to meet him for the time being, he let it go.
The most important thing now is to deal with Xu Lanyin and Lin Xiaosheng. The rest can wait.
Bai Yuzhi saw Xu Lanyin, and Xu Lanyin happened to look up at this moment, and they happened to face each other. When their eyes met, Xu Lanyin was obviously stunned.
Her reaction was too obvious. Jin Pengyue, who was standing next to her, stepped forward and asked in confusion: "Lan Yin, who did you see?"
Xu Lanyin finally came back to her senses, but she just waved her hand perfunctorily and looked at Bai Yuzhi, who was the center of attention, in surprise again.
In Xu Lanyin's eyes, the current white jade quality can indeed be called the moon surrounded by stars.
Mrs. Guan was afraid of something happening, so she stayed by Bai Yuzhi's side, separating her from Lin Xiaosheng intentionally or unintentionally. And An Jinchou didn't know why, but she showed her protection for Bai Yuzhi from the very beginning.
These four people together are very conspicuous.
What makes it even more interesting is that there are a few young ladies following behind.
But wasn't Bai Yuzhi just a concubine who came to their Xu family for good fortune? How come she now seemed to be more stylish than her, the legitimate eldest daughter of the Xu family?
Even Xu Lanyin's own status was not enough to attend this ball, and she had to rely on Jin Pengyue's relationship. But even so, Xu Lanyin could only play on the first floor and could not go up to the second floor. But now, she actually saw Bai Yuzhi in the corridor on the second floor!
Perhaps her angry look was too obvious, Jin Pengyue also followed her line of sight. When he saw the white jade, he was stunned at first, and then turned into surprise and appreciation.
In the world that Bai Yuzhi has experienced, there are too many people who covet her beauty, so she can easily tell whether a man is simply admiring her or has a dirty heart. Obviously, Mr. Jin Pengyue is the former.
He seemed to be deeply in love with Xu Lanyin, and even Bai Yuzhi's top beauty could not shake him.
Soon, Jin Pengyue's gaze shifted from Bai Yuzhi to Madam Guan. This was natural because Madam Guan was his aunt.
Jin Pengyue waved his hands below. After all, he was still a young man who had never suffered and was a rich kid who was still a little naive, so his behavior was not so steady.
"Auntie! Can I take Lan Yin up with me?"
When Mrs. Guan saw Jin Pengyue, her eyes softened a little.
She and Guan Tong had lived half their lives without any children, so she was particularly fond of her nephew Jin Pengyue. She had previously discussed with Guan Tong that when they were old, Jinshan Butterfly would be handed over to Jin Pengyue.
But now she is not the only one upstairs, there are also some distinguished guests.
Mrs. Guan looked at Bai Yuzhi and the others. She didn't know Xu Lanyin at all, so she never imagined that the "Lanyin" her nephew was talking about was the daughter of the Xu family. If she knew, no matter how much she loved Jin Pengyue, she would not agree to this.
Lin Xiaosheng was of course very surprised. For her, this was a great thing that she had finally found without any effort after searching for it for a long time.
The people she was looking for showed up on their own, saving her the trouble of making up a bunch of excuses to take them to the next floor.
Lin Xiaosheng was very happy.
The others didn't comment on this. It was just a girl brought by Mrs. Guan's nephew, and it had no impact on them.
Bai Yuzhi didn't say anything either.
So Madam Guan relaxed a little and said to Jin Pengyue downstairs, "Then come up, and I'll introduce you to some distinguished guests."
After all, he is the heir, so it wouldn't hurt to let Jin Pengyue know something in advance.
So Jin Pengyue pulled Xu Lanyin, who had a gloomy expression, upstairs.
Madam Guan then introduced Bai Yuzhi with a smile: "Yuzhi, this is my nephew, Jin Pengyue, and the one next to him is..."
Mrs. Guan hesitated. She really had no impression of Xu Lanyin.
Before Jin Pengyue could start introducing himself, Lin Xiaosheng laughed out loud.
Her deep maliciousness could no longer be concealed: "Mrs. Guan, why bother introducing them? Maybe they are very familiar with each other."
