Xiao Huan sighed.
Bai Qianmo remained silent, her gaze fixed on her reflection in the mirror.
The girl in the mirror had bright eyes and white teeth, and skin as white as snow. She wore a lotus-colored top and a light green long skirt, and she really had the refined and scholarly air of a well-bred lady.
"I'll wear this today."
At this moment, Xu Jin'en is eighteen years old, two years younger than her modern self.
In addition, the air was fresh at this time of year, and Xu Jin'en grew up in the countryside in the south, so her skin was even more delicate than before.
Xiao Huan was completely taken aback.
"Miss, are you sure you want to go out like this?"
"Why not? Just because the First Madam made me dress up ugly?"
Xiao Huan shook her head: "Yes, aren't you most afraid of the First Madam?"
"Hehe, it seems I was quite timid and fearful before." Unfortunately, she is no longer Xu Jin'en.
The thought of suddenly finding herself in a misplaced time and space filled Bai Qianmo with annoyance.
"You're such a coward, you're even afraid of cockroaches," Xiao Huan complained.
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener, and Bai Qianmo was slightly taken aback.
Was Xu Jin'en really a timid and cowardly person before? Why did she change so much afterward?
Is it a disguise or...?
Thinking deeper, Bai Qianmo felt a profound sense of fear deep within her heart.

Bai Qianmo and Xiao Huan arrived at the First Madam's residence, which was located to the east, while her own courtyard was to the west.
Walking from her courtyard to the First Madam's courtyard, almost circling half the mansion, she witnessed just how glorious the Xu family of Shanghai had been in the past.
The house is almost the size of a university that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, showing off its wealth and power everywhere.
Upon arriving at the First Madam's courtyard, a pleasant laugh could be heard even before entering.
"Brother Heng, these pots of autumn orchids you brought are really beautiful."
“I’ll have someone send a few pots to your yard. The autumn orchids are in bloom right now, which will add a touch of color to the fading autumn.”
The First Madam slowly walked out of the house and saw a young couple in the courtyard. She walked over with a smile.
"Aheng, you're so thoughtful."
“Aunt Xu, you like orchids, and I just happened to have acquired a few pots of pretty good quality, so I brought them to you on my way. I hope you like them.”
"These pots of autumn orchids are not cheap, but I really like them."
Bai Qianmo stood at the door and glanced at the group, while Xiao Huan whispered instructions behind her.
“Miss, that’s the First Madam, and the young woman beside her is the Second Miss, and that one…”
"Yin Heng!"
"Yes, it is Young Master Yin Heng."
