Feng Yi gritted his teeth: "Alright then, I'll go with you. I'm not comfortable letting you go alone anyway."
"You stay here."
"Gu Jueye, you go by yourself. I can't control you. And if I want to go, you can't control me either. Although our Feng family is secretly the Gu family's bodyguard, we don't have a contractual relationship. That's settled then. I'll go prepare my things for departure. You stay at the hospital and keep her company."
After saying that, Feng Yi vanished from the ward in a flash.
Gu Jueye's deep eyes gazed at the girl on the bed, and he leaned down to gently place a kiss on her smooth forehead.
“Girl, I will definitely find the jade pendant. You should also wake up soon. Our engagement ceremony is all ready, and we are just waiting for my bride to appear.”
alternate time and space
Bai Qianmo had just returned to the Xu family's gate when she felt a sharp pain in her chest.
Xu Jinwei was talking happily when she noticed that Bai Qianmo's expression was off, so she stopped to look at her out of curiosity.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Bai Qianmo clutched her chest and shook her head: "I don't know, I just suddenly felt a sharp pain in my chest."
"Ha, I think you're lovesick."
At this moment, the relationship between Xu Jinwei and Bai Qianmo underwent a subtle change.
Although Xu Jinwei still spoke to Bai Qianmo with sarcasm, she was clearly less hostile.
Bai Qianmo felt that since she was new here, if she could bring Xu Jinwei into her camp, some things would be much easier to handle through Xu Jinwei.
For example, Xu Jinwei's help was needed to cancel the engagement with Yin Heng and to find Xu Changchong's whereabouts.
"Alright, alright, I'll take you home first. Honestly, you grew up in the countryside, how come you're so weak? I have to personally help you. Who is the most noble young lady in the Xu family?"
Despite complaining, Xu Jinwei's hands were busy.
He helped Bai Qianmo walk toward the courtyard where she lived.
"Of course you are the most honored young lady of the Xu family." Bai Qianmo flattered her.
Xu Jinwei was very pleased, her face full of a smug smile.
Back at Xu Jin'en's house
Xiao Huan stood in the courtyard, her face looking very unwell.
"Miss, you're finally back!"
Xiao Huan stepped forward and found that her young mistress was being supported by Xu Jinwei.
"Miss, are you injured?"
"It's nothing, I just had a slight chest pain, but it's much better now. I'm so grateful to my second sister for bringing me back."
Upon hearing Bai Qianmo's explanation, Xiao Huan looked at Xu Jinwei with a bewildered expression.
When did the second young lady become so kind to the young lady?
What day is it today? Has the Second Miss suddenly had a change of heart?
"Veer!"
Chen Xin'e entered in a grand procession with a large entourage of maids and servants.
Her sharp gaze went straight to the hands that Xu Jinwei was using to support Bai Qianmo.
"Hmph, do you have no servants at home? You need the Second Miss to personally help you back for a little illness?" Aunt Yu mocked.
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Chen Xin'e had quite a few spies in the Xu family.
Xu Jinwei helped her back to the courtyard, but before she could even stand up straight, Chen Xin'e caught up with her.
“Mother, I saw that this girl wasn’t feeling well, so I took the initiative to bring her back.”
Chen Xin'e stared at her daughter in shock.
No one knows her daughter better than her, as her mother.
Jinwei has liked Yin Heng for many years, so she dislikes Xu Jinen very much.
I accompanied that girl to the Yin residence today, and she came back as if she were a completely different person.
"Mother, let's go back and talk about it. Xiao Huan, your young lady is not feeling well. Go and call the doctor to take a good look at her later."
Xiao Huan stared at Xu Jinwei in disbelief, her expression as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
Xu Jinwei didn't notice Xiao Huan's expression and walked up to Chen Xin'e, acting coquettishly: "Mother, did you come here to find me?"
Chen Xin'e glanced at Xu Jinwei sideways, feigning anger.
"I'll deal with you when we get back, Xiao Huan!"
"This servant is here."
"Come here."
A hint of panic flashed in Xiao Huan's eyes as she stepped forward with trepidation.
"Madam, what are your orders?"
Chen Xin'e stared at Xiao Huan with cold eyes for a while, then her sharp gaze slowly shifted to Bai Qianmo.
"Who prepared this outfit for your young lady today?"
"Yes...this servant!" Xiao Huan had already guessed that Chen Xin'e was about to come and interrogate her.
Prepared to be beaten, she whispered, "Fourth Miss usually dresses like this too. And, not to mention compared to Second Miss's fine silks and satins, even the outfits worn by Eldest Miss, Third Miss, and Fifth Miss are much more presentable than Fourth Miss's."
Xiao Huan had long harbored resentment towards Chen Xin'e. Why was it that her young lady, the legitimate daughter of the Xu family, was living a much better life than even the daughters born out of wedlock?
Moreover, whenever Young Master Yin Heng came to the mansion, the madam would ask the young lady to deliberately make herself look ugly.
Previously, the young lady was gentle and never liked to argue with others.
This time, the young lady mustered up her courage to appear in her usual attire, and even though she, as her maid, was facing the risk of being beaten and scolded, she still had to support her young lady's decision.
"Hehe, what a sharp-tongued girl. I haven't even asked anything yet, and you've already shut me down."
"Madam, I dare not. I was just telling the truth."
Chen Xin'e's face darkened, a ruthless glint flashed in her eyes, and she raised her hand to slap Xiao Huan across the face.
Xiao Huan had already been beaten several times by Chen Xin'e. As Chen Xin'e raised her hand, she resigned herself to her fate and closed her eyes.
