The third concubine Lin Muwan, who had a figure as enchanting as a snake spirit, helped Bai Yubin change into court clothes.
She looked at Bai Yubin's carriage entering the palace with a look of reluctance in her eyes, and waved at the carriage.
He turned around and closed the door, changing his previous expression to one of someone who had seen something disgusting.
He twisted his body and walked into the house.
…
"Xiaoyi, what is the second young lady doing?" Lin Muwan fiddled with the earrings behind her ears with both hands and casually asked the personal maid beside her.
Xiaoyi rolled her eyes and said, "Maybe he's practicing calligraphy in his room."
"Let's go and take a look."
Lin Muwan got up and took her maid Xiaoyi to the second young lady's courtyard.
When the maid in the yard saw the person coming, she hurried to the second young lady to tell her that her mother had arrived, closed the book in her hand, and walked out of the house.
She has a slim figure and a pure and lovely face, which makes people's cheeks feel hot.
"Mom, why are you here?" The second lady's childish voice echoed in Lin Muwan's ears. Seeing her daughter's calm expression, her face was smiling like a flower.
"Why, Ziruo doesn't want mother to come."
Bai Ziruo took Lin Muwan's arm and slowly walked into the house.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Come on, please sit down." Bai Ziruo helped Lin Muwan sit down with a smile on her face, and put her hands on Lin Muwan's shoulders and began to massage them. "Mom, you've worked hard. Ru'er will massage your shoulders for you."
Lin Muwan smiled with satisfaction. Seeing her daughter's pure and lovely appearance, she couldn't help but feel secretly excited and proud.
In this Qingwan Club, Ruo'er will definitely win the favor of the young masters of the aristocratic families, and even more...
"Mom, why do you look so happy? Do you have any good news to tell your daughter?" Bai Ziruo poked her head out from behind Lin Muwan, looked at her with a smile, pouting her little mouth, as if acting coquettishly.
Lin Muwan looked at her daughter and chuckled.
"Alright, Ruo'er, how come you're still so naughty even though you're already this grown up?" A hand patted Bai Ziruo's jade hand, "Ruo'er, the Qingwan Club will be here in a few days, you have to behave well."
"Qingwan Club? What is that?"
"Don't you like the eldest prince? This is a perfect opportunity." Lin Muwan glared at Bai Ziruo with a serious face, then said lightly, "Your frail sister, I thought she would disappear this time, but I didn't know she was so lucky."
A pair of gloomy and resentful eyes flashed with murderous intent, and Lin Muwan grabbed the tablecloth beside her tightly.
At this time, Bai Ziruo remained silent, feeling as if ants were gnawing at her heart.
"Mom, my sister is back. I'm very happy. Otherwise, I would be alone in this huge mansion, and no one would talk to me." That seemingly innocent face was flawless, and people felt that she was really happy for Bai Yinglin's appearance, but a trace of resentment flashed in her clear eyes.
Lin Muwan was furious when she heard this: "You useless thing, what do you know? You'd better take care of yourself. Think about how to deal with it in the next few days."
After saying that, Lin Muwan walked out of Bai Ziruo's yard very dissatisfied.
When Bai Ziruo saw her mother walking away, a faint smile crossed her lips.
How could the good reputation that I have secretly accumulated for more than ten years be ruined because of a moment of jealousy? How could my mother understand?
But how could my mother know that I would not try my best? Sometimes a weak and innocent appearance is often the most powerful weapon, and she looks cold and difficult to approach, which is not worth mentioning compared to me.
…
In the other yard, Bai Yinglin lay on a wooden chair beside the green bamboo with her eyes closed.
The warm sun also poked out from the clouds as if to signal and watched everything in the mortal world.
The gentle sunlight fell on Bai Yinglin's cheeks, and her skin seemed to glow like crystal.
Following the warmth of the sun, Bai Yinglin opened her eyes, her gaze shining like the sea of stars.
"Lin'er, this Qingwan will..."
Seeing that the person behind her was her mother, Bai Yinglin smiled and gestured for her mother to sit down.
"Mom, do you want me to not participate?" The smile on the corner of his mouth became clearer.
"Lin'er, mother didn't mean...it's just that everyone knows the hidden meaning of the Qingwan Society. If you go, I'm afraid that you, Lin'er, will be in danger again." Qing Peizhu's words were very charming, and Bai Yinglin kept pondering them.
"Again?" Bai Yinglin blurted out, "Mother, why do you always act so weak? Your background is more than one level higher than Third Aunt's."
Bai Yinglin looked at Qing Peizhu intently, but found that Qing Peizhu's eyes were deliberately evasive, and she sneered in her heart.
Lin Muwan was born a singing girl and she had been oppressed by Qing Peizhu for more than ten years, but she always tolerated it. This was to tell Bai Yinglin to give in in everything and never argue with others.
She had nearly put Bai Yinglin in danger of death countless times, but she did the same this time. She turned a blind eye and told her daughter to be patient when she returned home after not having been home for a few days, without any resentment. Ha, she was really a good mother, but she didn't know that her daughter had died at the hands of someone else a few days ago.
If there is nothing in this, who would believe it?
The people in this house seem to be very dissatisfied with Bai Yinglin's existence.
Even Bai Yinglin's biological mother was no exception. She seemed to have no more feelings towards her daughter except guilt.
"Lin'er, mother has a secret that she cannot tell you."
Qing Peizhu's face was heavy and he lowered his head deeply.
"Mother seems a little tired. Feng'er will take the eldest lady back." Bai Yinglin looked at the swaying of the green bamboo with an expressionless face, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with her.
"Yes." Feng'er responded, "Madam, please!"
The lady who had just arrived at the door suddenly heard a clear and powerful voice behind her. The decisiveness in the voice left her speechless.
"Mother, as the daughter of the Prime Minister, I will definitely go to the Qingwan Club."
Qing Peizhu was stunned for a moment, and felt a chill on her back. Only then did she realize that the current Bai Yinglin was not the Lin'er of the past.
The smile on Bai Yinglin's lips deepened.
