Bai Ruobing hated Bai Ruohan to the extreme and was extremely jealous of her status as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family.
Every time Bai Ruobing saw Bai Ruohan's arrogant demeanor, she wished she could go up and tear her face to shreds.
The two young ladies from the Prime Minister's residence left one after the other.
Bai Ruobing first went to a jewelry store and selected many of the latest styles of jewelry, and then rushed to the best clothing store in the capital.
She really went all out this time, taking out all the savings she had accumulated over a long period of time.
Speaking of which, Bai Ruobing felt that the Imperial Noble Consort had a discerning eye, actually managing to think that there was a second young lady like herself in their Prime Minister's Mansion. If she could make a name for herself at the palace banquet this time, then she would finally be able to make it through.
Ideally, Bai Ruohan should be trampled underfoot, so that everyone can see that the Prime Minister's eldest daughter is nothing special.
"What would you like to see, miss? We just received a new batch of fabric, it's all over here..."
The shop assistant immediately recognized Bai Ruobing as a young lady from a wealthy family, so he quickly and warmly greeted her, leading her inside while introducing her to the family.
"Bring out all the best fabrics in your store for me to see! I need them to make a dress for a banquet. You don't need to show me ordinary fabrics like this."
Bai Ruobing was also very wealthy and arrogant, and her words made it seem as if she was tilting her chin up to the sky.
So the shop assistant brought out all the best fabrics in the shop, just as she requested.
"These bolts of fabric are excellent for making clothes, especially this one, called Moonlit Cloud Brocade. It's said that only one meter can be woven from it in a year, and clothes made from it are said to glow even at night. Tsk tsk tsk...it looks like a fairy from the moon descending to earth..."
According to the shop assistant, Bai Ruobing couldn't help but pick up the Moonlit Cloud Brocade on the tray and carefully caress it.
"It's really good material," Bai Ruobing thought, already imagining how beautiful it would be to wear a dress made from this fabric.
"I want this material!"
Bai Ruobing had just opened her mouth when someone else spoke up at the same time.
Turning her head, Bai Ruobing's expression changed slightly, showing surprise and a hint of disgust.
Why did she come over too?
What bad luck!
The person who arrived was none other than Bai Ruohan.
Bai Ruobing quickly gripped the Moonlit Cloud Brocade in her hand tighter, then glanced at Bai Ruohan warily: "I was the one who took a liking to this material first!"
Bai Ruohan nearly burst out laughing at her words. Not to be outdone, she reached out and grabbed the other end of the fabric, a haughty expression on her face, looking at Bai Ruobing with a hint of disdain: "So what? I just want this piece of fabric. Do you think you can take it from me?"
She had always been disdainful of her half-sister, Bai Ruohan. She looked down on Bai Ruobing, the vixen mother who was someone else's concubine, and even more so on the cheap daughter born to that vixen.
Therefore, Bai Ruohan always acted superior to Bai Ruobing and rarely spoke to her.
The two disliked each other since childhood, and as they grew up, they regarded each other as thorns in their side.
That's why Bai Ruohan has been practicing music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since she was a child, determined to surpass Bai Ruobing in every aspect.
However, she did indeed succeed, which is why Bai Yuanshan paid special attention to her and gradually neglected his youngest daughter.
Because she had been bullied by Bai Ruohan since childhood, the idea that a concubine's child was not as noble as a legitimate child had long been deeply rooted in Bai Ruobing's mind. Therefore, when she heard the other party's provocative words, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
However, upon further reflection, Bai Ruobing realized that she was going to make a name for herself at this palace banquet. Perhaps just because she was wearing a dress made from this fabric, she would catch the eye of some noble young master and rise to prominence overnight.
Thinking of her future, Bai Ruobing gritted her teeth and made a firm decision, clinging tightly to the piece of cloth and refusing to let go.
"Who do you think you are, you piece of trash? How dare you try to steal from my young lady! Let go of her right now!"
At this moment, Caiyun also stood up and pointed at Bai Ruobing's nose, shouting in a shrill voice. She was always best at doing this kind of thing.
Although Bai Ruobing was the second young lady of the Prime Minister's mansion in terms of status, while Caiyun was just a maid, she felt that this illegitimate second young lady was not worth mentioning at all. Moreover, she was the personal maid of their young lady, so she also thought that she was superior to others.
Moreover, Caiyun had watched Bai Ruobing being trampled underfoot by her young mistress since she was a child, so she naturally developed the habit of relying on her master's power.
Bai Ruohan coldly glanced at the woman, whose face had turned pale with anger, her eyes full of mockery, as if to tell her that if she knew what was good for her, she should hand over the things quickly.
What an overconfident guy!
This time, however, Bai Ruobing showed a rare bit of backbone. Facing these two arrogant women, she not only refused to back down but also raised her eyebrows and started arguing with Caiyun.
"And what kind of trash are you? You lowly servant, what right do you have to speak to me!"
After finishing her rant, Bai Ruobing took a deep breath, feeling incredibly relieved.
I've finally had the chance to say what I've been holding in for so long.
Caiyun was clearly surprised that Bai Ruobing, who was always so timid, would dare to talk back. She was both astonished and furious.
Liu Ye was equally astonished. She stared at her younger sister, her jaw practically dropping to the floor in disbelief.
Because Bai Ruobing had set the example, Liu Ye felt a bit more assertive. As Bai Ruobing's maid, she had suffered countless humiliations over the years, and the anger that had been building up in her heart finally erupted at this moment.
"Pah! You bully who relies on your master's power, how dare you speak to my young lady like that!"
Liu Ye spat at Caiyun hatefully, then glared at her angrily.
A fight broke out between the women, drawing the attention of everyone else in the shop.
Because this clothing store was the best in the capital, its customers were naturally all wealthy and noble, and among them were young ladies who had also received invitations to attend palace banquets.
Someone recognized that the two were daughters of the Prime Minister's family, which drew even more attention from everyone who wanted to see what would happen between them.
