A man and a woman were clamoring to see Bai Yuzhi. You could guess who they were without even having to think.
Apart from Master Bai and that shameless girl from the Red Mansion, who else could do such a thing?
Bai Yuzhi saw this young lady from the Red Mansion in his original body's memory. She was a very bad person. It was difficult for women to live in this world. Some girls from decent families did not survive and turned to the flesh trade. But this young lady was not one of them at all.
Her family name was Tian, so let's call her Tian. They were originally a small farming family with some land. There were few children in the family, only Tian and her two younger siblings. In modern times, this is a lot, but for people of this era, they never knew when a child would die, so three was not considered a lot.
Tian's parents were an honest couple with ordinary looks, but somehow they gave birth to a girl as beautiful as Tian.
This is also expected.
After all, in addition to the ability to win over people that she learned in the Dream of the Red Chamber, Tian naturally also has a good-looking face that can charm the original body's lecherous father.
Because Tian was prettier than ordinary country girls, the Tian couple loved their eldest daughter very much. Even though the family was very tight on money, they would save some money to buy rouge and powder for Tian, who had known how to be vain since she was young.
But as the saying goes, a favor is repaid with a grudge.
This statement is inappropriate when applied to parents, but Tian's behavior is exactly in line with this statement.
Perhaps it was because the Tian couple spoiled Tian too much. Gradually, ordinary rouge, powder, wood and copper jewelry could no longer satisfy Tian's desires. She asked to wear gold, silver and jade jewelry at home, which really cost the Tian couple their lives.
They just can't afford it. Even if Tian gets angry this time, the Tian couple can't satisfy their eldest daughter.
So Tian ran away from home angrily. She saw that the girls soliciting customers at the door of the Red Mansion were all wearing gold and silver. She just walked in, bargained with the madam for a while, and sold the girl to herself!
Tian was beautiful, and willing to sacrifice her dignity, so she would do anything to please others. Seeing her good taste, the madam promoted her to the rank of most popular courtesan, and she became the signature lady of the Red Mansion.
Now Tian had finally risen to prominence. She was constantly receiving and seeing off patrons, and soon became famous. The poor Tian couple thought that their daughter had been kidnapped. They spent all their wealth and finally found out the news. When they entered the Red Mansion with their family, they were so angry that Tian fell to the ground when she sat on the patron's lap and flattered him.
The Tian family couple, one dead and one paralyzed, left only a pair of younger siblings.
The two children were quite strong-willed. They took their paralyzed mother back to their hometown and did not take a penny from Mrs. Tian. However, Mrs. Tian eventually passed away due to a serious illness, and the two children disappeared.
When Tian heard the news, she didn't show any sadness at all, which shows what a cold-blooded and heartless woman she is.
The reason why she no longer receives guests in the Red Mansion but is willing to follow her original father, a poor scholar, is because she is already middle-aged and can no longer make any money in the Red Mansion, so she finds an unlucky guy to take over.
It's ridiculous that Master Bai couldn't tell the difference between true feelings and false ones, and actually believed Tian's sweet words.
Now that the two of them have come to the mansion together, it is definitely like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, and there is absolutely no good intention at all.
Bai Yuzhi's face darkened slightly. It went without saying that the two of them must have ulterior motives, but with Master Bai's ability, it was impossible for him to get the news that she was brought to the mansion by Xu Hanshan so quickly.
All the members of the Xu family were firmly controlled by Xu Hanshan, and had no chance to pass on any information.
There must be a pair of unknown forces behind the scenes, pulling all the strings.
She thought for a moment and looked at Adjutant Chen.
Adjutant Chen was a smart man. He had thought of what Bai Yuzhi had thought of. Now he was observing Bai Yuzhi's expression, trying to figure out what she meant.
Whether to meet this person or not definitely depends on Bai Yuzhi's order.
Bai Yuzhi pursed her lips, looking a little embarrassed and shy. Adjutant Chen easily understood the emotion that Bai Yuzhi intentionally revealed.
Adjutant Chen felt that this was also human nature.
After all, the man who came was the one who angered her biological mother to death, and her father who was bewitched by her biological mother and sold herself out. If it weren't for her own general, who knows what kind of difficult situation Miss Bai would be in at the Xu Mansion now.
Who doesn’t have some resentment?
Bai Yuzhi is a well-educated lady, but she is not an otherworldly beauty without any emotions.
"Miss Bai, if you feel tired, I can tell Master Bai to come back another day."
This is a subtle way of speaking for adults. The so-called "someday" means there will never be such a day again.
If it was really Adjutant Chen who went there in person, then Master Bai and Tian would definitely be in trouble. However, Bai Yuzhi now wanted to know who leaked the information to these two people.
then.
"No need to trouble General Chen, I'll be out soon."
Bai Yuzhi was about to leave, but was stopped by the second concubine who was standing next to her.
"Wait a minute," Second Auntie held onto Bai Yuzhi's wrist and offered her advice, "I understand how you feel, but no matter how anxious you are, you can't just go out and meet people on your own. It wouldn't be nice to have Mr. Bai come and not even let him in for a cup of tea. It would seem like a lack of etiquette in our mansion."
Adjutant Chen understood. "That's exactly what the Second Madam said. Why don't you just let Miss Bai go to the main hall first, and I'll personally go and fetch Mr. Bai in. Then we'll all be in the main hall, not only looking dignified but also feeling comfortable. Wouldn't that be better?"
The white jade-like figure twitched the corners of his mouth.
These two people said nice things, but in fact, didn't they just want to give Master Bai and Tian a warning?
Otherwise, with Xu Hanshan's identity, let alone Master Bai, even his original grandfather, a genuine Jinshi from the previous dynasty, could not enter the main hall of the Xu family mansion.
Her eyes were filled with sadness, making her look particularly endearing. "Then I'll just listen to the Second Madam and General Chen."
So the soldier who came to report ran out in two steps and told Master Bai and Tian Shi.
