Chapter 834: Face, hurts again and again
After hearing what Qian Yuemei said, Mrs. Su's face darkened and she said, "Tang Bao must not be implicated in this matter!"
Old Man Su also said, "Old Fifth, your mother is right! A real man should marry his own wife with his own ability. If you dare to implicate your sister, I will beat you with my shoes!"
Su Laowu said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I won't implicate my sister!"
Su Lao Er glared at Qian Yuemei and said, "Don't give me such stupid advice! How can a young girl like me get involved in such matters? Besides, asking for favors in return is not what a gentleman does. No one in our Su family would do such a thing!"
After hearing what Old Lady Su and the others said, Qian Yuemei didn't agree with them in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything more.
Because she was betrayed by her son, she revealed that she wanted to go to the county town to avoid the autumn harvest and be lazy.
Therefore, it aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone in the Su family.
As a result, these days, Qian Yuemei would be scolded by her mother-in-law and criticized by her sisters-in-law from time to time.
Qian Yuemei felt guilty and had to be humble, fearing that her mother-in-law would not let her go to the county town in the future.
After breakfast the next day, Bai Shuqing was sent away by the Empress Dowager.
Before leaving, Bai Shuqing held his chin high and said to Tang Bao in a somewhat stiff tone: "Well, I don't mean to look down on you..."
Bai Shuqing seemed to be very uncomfortable with this apologetic way of speaking, so her face turned slightly red.
So, he raised his chin again, with a hint of superiority in his tone.
"You're a good person, we can be friends. If you go to the capital in the future, I can help you make friends with the rich and powerful daughters of the capital. With my support, no one in the capital will dare to look down on you."
Tang Bao's mouth twitched and she glanced at Bai Shuqing.
Suddenly I felt that she looked a bit like the little brother back then.
He clearly wanted to build relationships, but he had to act condescendingly.
Could it be that all the young men and women from these wealthy families have such bad behavior?
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have Sister Ning's support." Tang Bao said sincerely: "Besides, I am also a county lady. You have to bow to me when you see me. If you support me, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."
Bai Shuqing: “…”
My face hurts a little.
He stomped his feet angrily.
"How could you be so ungrateful? She's just a county lady. What do you think the capital is?" Bai Shuqing said with a red face, "Those girls from royal families wouldn't even take a county lady from the countryside seriously!"
When Bai Shuqing said this, he showed a condescending expression again.
"Although I have no rank, I am the great-niece of the Empress Dowager. Our Bai family is a royal family in the capital, and even the princes have to give us some respect. Although my princess cousin is of noble status, she can't leave the palace often. It's inevitable that someone will see you as young and silly and look like you're easy to bully, and deliberately step on you!"
After hearing what Bai Shuqing said, Tang Bao couldn't help but ask for advice humbly.
"Do I really look... stupid?"
She doesn't think she is stupid.
She is a pretty girl, so why is she always associated with stupidity?
Bai Shuqing: “…”
Looking at the pretty little girl in front of him with delicate face, fair skin, lively eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"Well, actually, that's not the case..." Bai Shuqing said hesitantly.
"Oh, that's good." Tang Bao was relieved and said, "I thought I just looked silly."
After saying that, he waved to Bai Shuqing, "Goodbye, I won't see you off!"
Bai Shuqing: “…”
He stomped his feet again in anger.
"Hey! Do you want to be friends with me or not?" Bai Shuqing was a little anxious.
She saw how Tang Bao treated Xia Siya and was envious.
Thinking about how she always protected Bai Shuyu, but was treated as a fool by Bai Shuyu, she envied Tang Bao even more for how well he treated Xia Siya.
Tang Bao thought for a moment and said seriously, "I'm just a little girl from the countryside, and you're the legitimate daughter of the Bai family, a genuine royal relative. The difference in our status is too great, so I won't marry someone of your stature."
Bai Shuqing: “…”
My face hurts again, what's going on?
Especially the words "little girl from the country" feel so harsh.
but--
"I'm telling you, if we were friends, I'd definitely look after your good sister, Xia Siya, for you," Bai Shuqing said angrily. "Once she marries into the Bai family, I'll have her backing. I'll make sure those servants who flatter the powerful and bully the weak won't dare look down on her. I'll also speak well of her to my grandmother and eldest aunt, and even to my third brother..."
Tang Bao's heart moved.
You should have said it earlier!
The above are all nonsense, only these few sentences are useful!
"Since you want to be friends with me so much, then I will reluctantly agree to your request." Tang Bao said condescendingly, "From now on, we will be friends. Since Sister Siya is my sister, she is also your sister. From now on, you must listen to Sister Siya."
Bai Shuqing: “…”
Staring at Tang Bao with wide eyes.
"I'm the daughter of the Bai family, a noble one, and yet you're still trying so hard to be my friend?" Bai Shuqing said in disbelief. "Do you know how many ladies from wealthy families in the capital want to be my friend?"
Tang Bao shook her head: "I don't know! But, do you want to be friends with me?"
Bai Shuqing: “…”
"Forget it." Tang Bao said casually: "I never would..."
"Did I say no?" Bai Shuqing interrupted Tang Bao angrily.
"Oh, so do you want it or not?"
Bai Shuqing: “…Yes!”
He gritted his teeth and said a word, and glared at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao giggled and didn't mind at all.
"It's agreed that we are friends." Tang Bao said, "You have to help me keep an eye on your third brother in the future. If he has any affairs with other women, you have to tell me."
Bai Shuqing: “…”
I feel like I've lost out, what should I do?
Otherwise... she might as well regret it.
Bai Shuqing thought to herself, reached out and untied the sachet from her waist, handed it to Tang Bao, and said, "I embroidered this sachet myself, you are not allowed to complain about the poor embroidery."
She was originally very confident about her embroidery.
However, ever since she saw the embroidery on Tang Bao's clothes, her confidence has been completely shattered.
When Tang Bao saw the sachet handed to her, she felt strange, as if they were exchanging a token of love.
"Your embroidery is actually pretty good, but it's certainly not as good as mine." Tang Bao criticized Bai Shuqing in a matter-of-fact manner, saying, "Here, I'll give you this sachet. Take a look at it first. When I have the chance in the future, I'll give you some pointers. I guarantee that your embroidery skills will reach new heights."
Tang Bao said as she took off her sachet and handed it to Bai Shuqing.
Bai Shuqing: “…”
Why do you feel more frustrated?
However, when he saw the sachet handed over by Tang Bao, with several cranes embroidered on it, which were so lifelike, as if they were real, he couldn't help but lose his temper.
It's impossible not to accept it!
"Don't worry, my third brother is a disciple of Fang Daru. Fang Daru has strict requirements on his disciples, so my third brother has always been clean and will never mess around with other women." Bai Shuqing took the sachet and said confidently.
"It's good that it won't happen naturally, but nothing is absolute." Tang Bao said: "So, this task is left to you!"
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she patted Bai Shuqing on the shoulder as if she had been entrusted with a great mission.
It's pretty good to have such an undercover agent in the Bai Mansion.
After Bai Shuqing got on the carriage, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Could it be that I made this friend just to keep my third brother from getting involved in other women, or to tip him off or something?
