Don’t worry?

How could she not worry?

Bai Qinglian was still worried. After her mother entered the house, she pondered for a moment and went to tell the bedridden Bai Hongye that the fool had returned!

Bai Hongye was bullied in the afternoon. She asked Madam Bai Zhou to invite the Daoist priest over. In the end, they couldn’t find Bai Weiyang, so they could only let the Daoist priest go back resentfully.

This time, Bai Hongye brought a maidservant to the laundry room where Bai Weiyang lived.

Bai Weiyang had just entered the room and hadn’t gone to bed yet. However, when she heard footsteps outside the door, she quickly crawled into bed. When the door opened, she narrowed her eyes and saw Bai Hongye, who was dressed coquettishly.

Bai Hongye brought someone over and felt confident. She turned on the electric light and saw that the light’s rope had turned greasy and black. Her face was filled with disdain as she subconsciously wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief.

Bai Hongye glanced at Bai Weiyang, who was lying in bed.

“Fool…”

She wanted to call her a fool, but at the critical moment, she changed her words. “Third Sister!”

She called her Third Sister melodiously. “Are you asleep?”

Bai Weiyang pretended to be a pitiful little white rabbit and carefully peeked out from under the blanket.

“Yo, you’re hiding under the blanket like a pitiful worm!”

When Bai Hongye saw Bai Weiyang like this, she giggled. “You’ve really grown up. I heard that you went to the Feng Residence to break off the engagement. Who gave you the courage to do that? The previous emperor?”

Bai Weiyang smiled foolishly. “It’s probably Liang Jingru1.”

“Who’s Liang Jingru?” Bai Hongye was puzzled for a second.

Bai Weiyang couldn’t be bothered to explain Liang Jingru to Bai Hongye. She tilted her head and looked at Bai Hongye in a daze with a smile on her face.

“Fourth Sister, don’t you want to know who I saw at Feng Residence?”

Although she wasn’t curious about what this fool had done, that was the Feng Residence. She had only been there a few times.

Bai Hongye frowned. “Who did you see?”

Bai Weiyang wrinkled her nose and blinked her clear eyes.

“I saw the famous Young Marshal Feng!”

“What? You saw Brother Songjie?”

Bai Hongye’s heart was so excited that it was about to jump out of her throat. She subconsciously said, “How is he? He must still be very handsome.”

Without waiting for an answer, she continued on.

She even blushed suspiciously.

It was as if she was shy.

Or embarrassed.

It was an eye-opener for Bai Weiyang. Just the mention of Feng Songjie made Bai Hongye infatuated. It seemed that Bai Hongye and Bai Qinglian liked the Military Governor in her memory.

She made up her mind.

A plan popped up in her mind.

She said calmly,

“I was talking to Madam about breaking off the engagement, but Brother Songjie beat her to it. He said he can choose not to marry me and replace me with Bai Hongye.”

“What did you say?”

Bai Hongye almost slipped in surprise. Fortunately, the maidservant behind her, Ju Xiang, supported her. Bai Hongye’s face turned red as she covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and exclaimed, “Brother Songjie said he wants to marry me?”

Bai Weiyang looked at Bai Hongye’s excitement and shyness thoughtfully.

Bai Hongye didn’t notice the deep meaning in her eyes at all. She only cared about covering her face and revealing her childishness. She stomped her feet nervously and muttered to herself.

“Aiyo, Second Master likes me, but he didn’t make it clear earlier. That way, I would have asked my parents to take the initiative to talk to the Feng Family. Now, Second Master even has to speak up personally. Second Master must have been scolded by Madam.”

Bai Weiyang’s lips twitched as she marveled at Bai Hongye’s imagination.
