Seeing Bai Yan remaining silent, he thought that she was feeling sad over the recent happenings.
Hearing Bai Xiao’s careful tone, Bai Yan chuckled. “The world thinks that I’ve betrayed Second Prince. Why do you think that it’s Second Prince’s loss?”
“I believe in you, Elder Sister, that you wouldn’t betray him. You were definitely framed by someone.” The young man’s gaze was very firm and his tone was fierce. “If I discover the person behind this, I definitely won’t let her off!”
Bai Yan’s heart trembled and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
In her past life, she was a descendant of the ancient martial arts world of Hua Xia and from a young age, she had been indoctrinated with the idea of becoming stronger! To become strong, she had betrayed everyone and left her relatives. But in the end, while refining a Ninth Tier Pill, she had met with heavenly lightning and ended up dying.
It had been so difficult for her to live again in another life. She would definitely not act the way she had done in the past, where she had only care about cultivation and had ended up ignoring the people by her side.
“That’s right.” The young man dug out a money bag from his embrace and placed it into Bai Yan’s hands. “Now that you’re pregnant, you’ll need sufficient nutrition. This silver is for you.”
Bai Yan clenched the money bag as she felt a tingling in her heart. “Where did this silver come from?”
“I… I p.a.w.ned the jade pendant Mother left me when she was still alive.”
Bai Yan’s heart felt like it was being clenched tight.
In the eyes of outsiders, Bai Xiao and her seemed very well-off, but in reality, the Bai family frequently deducted their monthly allowance and even the dowry which Lan Yue had brought into the family were being kept by Yu Rong.
However, the sibling duo were also very stubborn. They knew that it was their mother who had wronged their maternal grandfather. No matter how bitter life was or how tired they felt, they never did go to the Lan family to seek for help.
The Lan family was also overconfident and thought that the Bai family would not ill-treat the sibling duo. Furthermore, Lan Yue’s dowry was sufficient for the siblings’ expenditure for an entire lifetime.
But in reality?
Yu Rong’s two daughters were dressed in gold and covered in silver. They ate mouth-watering delicacies while the sibling duo frequently lacked their fill.
What was hilarious was that Bai Zhenxiang was not good at managing his business while Yu Rong was also very extravagant with her spending. What the Bai family had been using all these years was all Lan Yue’s dowry.
As for Bai Xiao’s jade pendant, it was the only item Lan Yue had given to him and it was also the only thing he pined for all these years.
If it wasn’t for the fact that he had hidden it too well, it might have long been taken away by Yu Rong. 1
Just as Bai Yan’s thoughts were swirling around, a servant girl entered without asking and interrupted the moment of the siblings’ interaction.
“Eldest Miss, the Madam is asking you to make a trip over.”
“Elder Sister.”
Bai Xiao immediately grabbed Bai Yan’s hand, his eyes full of worry.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.” Bai Yan patted Bai Xiao’s hand comfortingly as she gave him a rea.s.suring look before walking over to the door.
Instantly, the majestic mighty aura of the young maiden radiated. She was a beauty dressed in red and her looks were sufficient to topple a city. Her gaze was icy cold and with every step that she took, the servant girl found it a little harder to breathe. Her throat felt like it was being held and she was unable to breathe.
“Don’t forget that you’re merely a maidservant. Even if I’m not pampered, I am still a master in the Bai Manor. You entered without asking and have therefore disrespected me. I have the rights to have you beaten to death, then!”
The maidservant’s face paled. She had signed a contract to sell herself and thus, even if her master wanted to kill her, she had no choice but to die!
Due to Bai Yan’s weakness in the past, she had forgotten about this.
“Lead the way.” The young maiden’s tone was cold and detached, leaving no room for questions.
“Yes, Eldest Miss.”
The maidservant also no longer dared to look down on the young maiden before her. Even if her reputation was in tatters, she was more than capable of questioning a servant.
Bai Xiao looked at the retreating figure of the young maiden in a daze. He kept feeling that his eldest sister seemed to have changed in the past few months…
She had become strong and reliable, which made him feel at ease. 1
