"If Miss doesn't believe me, there's a family genealogy in the manor."
How could Bai Ruifeng not believe it? Although her mother's family had fallen on hard times, they still had royal blood in their ancestral lineage.
Especially since Uncle Jiu's seniority alone indicates his close relationship with the royal family, who would dare to falsify this?
Qian and Bai Ruier exchanged a glance, both of them also having a lot on their minds... Where did this Ninth Uncle come from?
Bai Yan patted her sister's hand reassuringly: "Don't worry, sister. I'll go see Uncle Jiu with you later. He's very good to me."
Bai Ruifeng nodded, and Bai Yan sighed softly when she saw that Bai Ruifeng's face was pale and her expression was flustered.
"Sister, come back to my room with me first, wash your face and have some tea. We can talk about it slowly."
Bai Ruifeng nodded, and the two sisters helped each other walk towards the room.
Feeling slighted by being ignored, Madam Qian stepped forward to stop the person, but Caizhu walked up to her and said, "Madam, it's a young lady's time to get ready, so why don't you stop her?"
Mrs. Qian: "Who do you think you are, coming to my house and spouting nonsense—"
The word "wild" in "wild" came to an abrupt end when she saw Caizhu's hand drop down, slap it against a decorative stone block, twist it, and the stone block fell off.
"I'm so sorry, your little stone lion is so cute, I just wanted to wipe the dust off its head."
Qian Shi and Bai Ruier looked at the maid with superhuman strength in front of them, and both mother and daughter turned their heads away.
Inside the room, Bai Yan helped Bai Ruifeng straighten her hair with a comb and put on her hairpins. She had a beautiful face but a calm demeanor, and at first glance, she had a dignified and graceful air.
"Alright," Bai Yan smiled.
Bai Ruifeng looked at her younger sister's sweet smile and was about to return the smile when she remembered something.
She grasped Bai Yan's hand, and was about to say something when Bai Yan said, "Sister, something happened to me yesterday, and I'm afraid I can't stay at home any longer. Help me pack my things; I'm moving out."
Bai Ruifeng had already intended this, so she nodded without thinking: "Clothes and such are not important, what's important is the dowry. You... never mind, you wouldn't understand those things anyway."
"I'll clean it up."
Bai Ruifeng rolled up her sleeves: "The big items are hard to pack, let's take the valuables first."
As she spoke, she went to the drawer under the makeup box in Bai Yan's room to look for it: "Those two glass jade pendants were left to us by our mother. They are royal items. We must keep them with us. If we ever run out of money, we can sell them and they will be enough for us to live on for the rest of our lives."
"Where's the jade pendant?" Bai Ruifeng asked curiously. "Xiao Yan, didn't you put it here?"
Bai Yan said, "It must have been because I wasn't here yesterday that Bai Ruier took it from my room."
