Upon hearing her words, Jiang Feiyu's eyes widened, her pupils blazing with anger. However, when she turned to look at Bai Ye, her face was full of grievance: "Bai Ye, you wouldn't do this to me, would you?"
Bai Ye frowned slightly, glared at Hai Ling, but when he lowered his head, he showed endless tenderness, and his voice became gentler.
"Yu'er, what are you thinking about? I am not the kind of person who would betray his trust."
"Bai Ye, you're so kind," Jiang Feiyu said, finally relieved upon hearing Bai Ye's words, her beautiful face gaining even more charm.
The two were deeply in love under the moonlight, completely oblivious to the many eyes watching them. Those eyes gleamed with envy and jealousy, and secretly harbored wicked thoughts of how to follow the second young lady into the Bai mansion and then climb into the master's bed.
However, a discouraging, sarcastic voice rang out, shattering the pleasant atmosphere.
"May you be birds flying wing to wing in the sky, and trees with intertwined branches on the ground. You two are truly the envy of everyone."
After saying that, he let out a long sigh and looked up at the bright moon.
Upon hearing Hai Ling's words, Jiang Feiyu's face lit up with smugness, and her eyes blazed with intense passion. She warned, "Jiang Hai Ling, don't even think about Bai Ye. He's not someone you can even dream of."
"That's not necessarily true. What if one day he has a brain fart, gets carried away, loses his mind, or is blinded by his own eye boogers and mistakes a fish eye for a pearl, and then he sets his sights on me?"
Hai Ling rattled off a long string of words, leaving everyone dizzy and unable to decipher what she was saying. She talked about things like "brain short circuit" and "fish eye pearl," but it probably wasn't anything nice. As a result, Jiang Feiyu's face turned ugly, and she gritted her teeth and vented her anger.
"Jiang Hailing, you actually swore at me."
"Did I swear? Did I swear? Did I swear? Who did I swear at?"
Hai Ling walked up to Jiang Feiyu and reminded her with a smile: "Second sister, pay attention to your image, pay attention to your image. A woman dresses up for the one she loves. In front of the person you love, you can never show even the slightest bit of vulgarity. You must always maintain your best side, so that he can love you, cherish you and pamper you forever. Otherwise, you can just wait to be dumped."
"Jiang Hailing, Bai Ye doesn't know how."
Jiang Feiyu was furious with this woman, but she knew that what she said was true. In front of Bai Ye, she always maintained a good image. Even though she was so angry that she was about to vomit blood, she could not lose her composure. So she took a deep breath and put on a perfect smile.
"Third sister, thank you for reminding me."
"Yeah, no problem, we're best friends, aren't we?"
Hai Ling patted Jiang Feiyu's shoulder without ceremony, speaking in a very friendly manner, and then waved her hand as if shooing away flies: "Alright, it's nothing, everyone go back."
The two groups had been fighting to the death earlier, but she managed to dismiss them with a few clever words.
Jiang Feiyu and her maids were furious, wishing they could tear this woman's face to shreds. They never expected her to be so cunning and treacherous, but they believed that General Bai would give them justice.
Everyone turned their attention to Shirayuki, who had remained silent.
A thoughtful expression settled on Shirono Shunyi's features. His eyes were as black as lacquer, with a dangerous glint in them. Despite being a very fat and ugly girl, under the moonlight in the dark night, her face appeared exceptionally lively. Her eyes shone like black pearls, radiating a dazzling and vibrant color that irresistibly drew people to her. At this moment, she did not appear ugly at all, but rather possessed a delicate and adorable charm.
A thought flashed through Bai Ye's mind, and he cursed himself inwardly, "What the hell? He actually finds this chubby girl cute."
At this moment, his subordinates Hua Ming and Mai Jiu called out, "Master, look at this?"
The two of them were blocked by the Fourth Madam and Rouge, and could not move at all, so they asked the General for permission.
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow and said in a steady voice, "Forget it. Today is still General Jiang's birthday celebration, and besides, the lady has pleaded for him. Let's just leave today's matter in mind for now."
"Yes," Hua Ming and Mai Jiu acknowledged the order and stepped aside. Fourth Madam Du Caiyue and Yan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiang Feiyu and the others looked grim. They hadn't expected Bai Ye to let this chubby girl off the hook. It was really annoying, but they couldn't say anything in front of him. Jiang Feiyu said with a charming smile, "Bai Ye, let's go. The banquet is about to start."
"Um."
Bai Ye responded and strode forward. As he passed Hai Ling, a cold glint flashed in his wolf-like black eyes, and he uttered a few words as his lips moved slightly.
You just insulted me; I'll remember that.
His tall figure strode away in the moonlight, his physique both proud and composed. As he left, Jiang Feiyu, behind him, also lip-read a sentence.
I won't let this go.
No one saw that Hailin behind them was also lip-reading out a few words: "Are you afraid of me...?"
Chapter 006 Seven Star Glazed Bracelet
The area in front of Qinfang Courtyard finally quieted down. Rouge and Fourth Madam Du Caiyue rushed over and surrounded Hailing, asking her worriedly.
"Miss, that was close! If General Bai had insisted on inviting the general over, we would have been in big trouble."
"Yes, yes, Hailin, let's not fight with them anymore. Each of them has powerful backers, and we might suffer if things go wrong. So let's just be patient."
Du Caiyue herself was not afraid of hardship, but what she feared most was her daughter suffering. Ling'er was such a good child, but no one knew it. She didn't want her to suffer even the slightest harm.
Hai Ling smiled and comforted Du Caiyue, "Mother, it's alright, don't worry. I'll be more careful in the future and won't let them take advantage of me."
She sighed inwardly. When other people transmigrated, they were all highly skilled in martial arts. They could either leave no trace in the snow or injure people with flying flowers. Or they would find a peerless secret manual like the Sunflower Manual or the Great Shift of the Universe and cultivate it to become powerful martial arts masters. But she hadn't encountered any of those things.
This amazing time travel has really brought me no benefits whatsoever. Although I got a bracelet, I haven't seen how amazing its abilities are yet. Whenever I think of this, Hai Ling wants to shout to the sky, "Mu Bing, where are you, you bastard?"
The three of them chatted as they entered the courtyard.
Hailing and Yanzhi escorted Fourth Madam Du Caiyue to rest.
It was already late at night. Although the banquet in front was lively and the atmosphere was great, what did that have to do with them? Nobody even thought about them.
Hailin and Yanzhi sat on the stone steps in front of the cottage, chatting and enjoying the moonlight.
"Rouge, you did a great job tonight."
Hailing looked at the maid Yanzhi beside her. Yanzhi was very beautiful, especially the two bright red rosy cheeks on her face. She was elegant and charming. So when Hailing asked her to give her a name, she thought of a poem by Yan Jidao: "The delicate fragrance lightly stains the snow with rouge". So she named her Yanzhi, and she was just as good as her name.
"Miss, they went too far, they were too much of a bully, but it was really fun to fight them," Rouge said, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
Hai Ling laughed. This girl was really getting a good deal and then acting innocent. She nudged Yan Zhi and said, "Maybe there will be another chance in the future. Then you can do your best."
