The next day, Yuan Zhao was in the courtyard thinking about what Rong Ruo had said the day before.

She never imagined that Gu Qingchen was actually Master Wen's last disciple. So how did he end up as a staff member by Zhou Shiyuan's side in her previous life?

She had many questions she could have asked Rong Ruo, but asking that jinx would come at too high a price.

Yesterday, Rong Ruo didn't say those words without reason; he must have suspected something.

Will he ever think that she was reborn?

I don't think so!

After all, this is just too absurd!

She would never have imagined it if she hadn't experienced it herself.

Forget it, she'll wait until Gu Qingchen comes to find her and see if she can find out anything.

Yuan Zhao was deep in thought when Wen Feng entered with a cold expression:

"Miss, Aunt Bai is here and says she wants to see you."

"Aunt Bai?"

Yuan Zhao didn't realize it for a moment, but later she found out that the "Aunt Bai" that Wen Feng mentioned was Bai Mianmian.

"She's coming to see me?"

Yuan Zhao smiled and said, "Then let her in."

After saying that, she remained in the same position and did not move.

When Bai Mianmian came in, this was the scene she saw: Yuan Zhao, dressed in a brocade pomegranate dress, was lying on a recliner, leisurely basking in the sun and reading a book. She was attended to by maids and looked extremely relaxed.

Before coming to the capital, she lived a relatively good life in the village. She was the only daughter in her family, and her father and mother treated her well. She was pampered and spoiled as she grew up.

However, after arriving in the capital, she realized that all her previous achievements were nothing. In the Yongning Marquis's mansion, even the servants were superior to her. In their eyes, she was not a mistress at all, but a village girl from the countryside.

Both are women, but Yuan Zhao, because of her good birth and family background, should be cherished and pampered, while she, simply because she was born into the wrong family, will forever be inferior to others.

A hint of resentment flashed in Bai Mianmian's eyes, but remembering the purpose of her visit, she quickly concealed it and bowed to Yuan Zhao:

"Young Madam."

Yuan Zhao seemed not to hear him and did not reply.

She squatted for a while, then, unable to hold on any longer, tried to stand up. Linglong, standing beside her, snorted coldly and said:

"He remembered before the master even called him; he really has no manners."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mianmian bit her lip and forced herself to swallow her words.

After a while, Yuan Zhao put down his book and saw her looking surprised, as if he had just realized she had come.

"I was engrossed in my book when Aunt Bai arrived. Why didn't you inform me?"

"It's my fault."

Wen Feng readily agreed.

Seeing the back-and-forth acting between the master and servant, Bai Mianmian bit her lips even tighter.

She wasn't stupid; how could she not know that Yuan Zhao was trying to intimidate her? She had never suffered such humiliation before, and her eyes reddened.

She already had the appearance of a timid and delicate little white flower, and this made her even more pitiful.

In her past life, she used this trick to completely fool Zhou Shiyuan and herself.

At that time, many things happened in the manor that were not good for her. Yuan Zhao had also suspected that it might be related to Bai Mianmian. She even went to see Bai Mianmian, but Bai Mianmian looked very sincere and aggrieved.

She said:

"Sister, how could you think of me like that?"

“How could my sister do such a thing? You let me into your household and treated my child like your own. I am so grateful that I would never harm you.”

At the time, she naively believed it, only to later learn that Bai Mianmian was a venomous snake.

Now, she can't stand it when I treat her the same way she treats me?

Thinking of this, she said sarcastically:

"Aunt Bai, you'd better stop with your act. It won't work on me at all."

"If you want to mislead someone into thinking that I bullied you, then you can try to see if anyone will stand up for you."
