Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 21 Recovery Plan

"Mother, my brother must have taken that bitch Lou Xinyue to a restaurant to eat tonight, leaving us at home to eat pig food. Mother, I don't want to eat, I don't want to eat, I want to go to the restaurant to eat too." She rubbed and arched in Bai's arms. At first, she just wanted to act coquettishly and let Bai prepare some delicious food for her again. Later, the more she talked, the more she felt that she was wronged, and she actually shed tears.

Mrs. Bai was also furious. They had just moved here for two days and hadn't packed anything yet, but the two of them went out and didn't come back for dinner or say anything. Mrs. Bai stroked Bai Rou'er's hair and said distressedly, "Just put up with it for a few days. Mother will definitely find a way to get Qiao Lili to agree to marry your brother again."

Bai Rouer immediately perked up when she heard this, "Mom, hurry up. I made an appointment with a few girls to have a tea party a few days ago. How can I hold it here? Do I still want to save my face?"

If it were in the past, she would have gone directly to Qiao Lili. As long as she told her that she wanted to hold a tea party, Qiao Lili would not only give her the highest quality Rain-Predawn Longjing tea and specially made flower tea, but would also allow her to order snacks, choose fruits, match cups and plates, and even a set of Ru kiln famille rose tea sets. She would arrange all the details, and would even give her a silver note so that she could add any extras she hadn't thought of.

"We have to go home first, Mom. You have to think of a solution quickly. Let Qiao Lili buy our house back." Bai Rouer didn't know yet that her house had been bought by Qiao Lili.

If she couldn't go back home, would she be forced to hold a tea party in this shabby house? How could she stay in the circle of noble ladies in the capital? If she couldn't get into this circle, how could she find a husband of her dreams? Would she be forced to marry a peddler?

She had once seen the Second Prince at a banquet that Qiao Lili brought her to. His ink-black python robe was exquisite and luxurious, and his fair facial features were cool and noble, like the bright moon in the sky, his entire body shrouded in a dazzling halo.

From then on, she vowed to marry the Second Prince. She had been counting on her brother to be promoted to a higher position and marry the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo when he returned. Then, she would have a strong family background. But now, because of that bitch Lou Xinyue, she was reduced to dust and was getting further and further away from her Second Prince.

No, it absolutely cannot happen. She, Qiao Lili, must marry her brother.

The mother and daughter were plotting against Qiao Lili when the courtyard gate opened and Bai Junzhe and Lou Xinyue walked in with gloomy faces.

"You guys are full and satisfied, so you know when to come back. My mother and I are still hungry." Bai Rouer said sarcastically. As soon as she saw Lou Xinyue, she wanted to pounce on her and slap her a few times. Such a life was caused by this bitch, this shameless bitch, it was all her fault for seducing her brother.

Mrs. Bai noticed that Bai Junzhe's face was not right. Not wanting her outspoken daughter to annoy him, she pushed her and whispered, "Go back to your room."

When Bai Rouer heard this, she felt even more aggrieved. In the Bai Mansion, she had her own courtyard, two personal maids, and several wet nurses, old women, and servants. Now, she only had one room, which was dark and small, with half of the wall paint peeling off. That would have been fine, but she had to make her bed and fold her quilt by herself. In the past, she even needed two people to help her drink a glass of water.

In just two days, her hands became rough.

Her hands were kept white and tender by Qiao Lili. She sent dozens of boxes of hand cream for her. It is said that people have to queue up to buy the hand cream, and the price is extremely expensive.

Bai Rouer reluctantly returned to her room, and Mrs. Bai gestured for the two of them to sit down and talk.

"Zhe'er, what do you think about the marriage at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?" Bai Shi stopped eating as it was too hard to swallow. She signaled Li Po to clear all the food on the table.

"Mother, does it matter what I think? I've already withdrawn." Bai Junzhe felt physically and mentally exhausted by the sudden events that happened in the past two days. He was caught off guard and had no way to deal with it. He was completely led by the nose these days.

"If you can cancel an engagement, you can make a new one. In our Great Yan State, people who have canceled an engagement will not be able to find a good marriage partner. Instead of looking for someone else, it's better to look for you. You two grew up together, and your affection is self-evident. The daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion is very proud. You can lower yourself and coax her. You will definitely be able to coax her back. What woman is not soft-hearted, not to mention she is just a teenage girl."

Bai felt that she had watched Qiao Lili grow up. She was a little kid who was raised in a wealthy family. She was kind and simple, and could not resist a few nice words.

Lou Xinyue heard that Bai was talking about Qiao Lili so unscrupulously in front of her, as if she didn't see her at all and didn't care about her feelings at all. She didn't show it on her face, but she was filled with hatred in her heart.

Brother Zhe is hers. Once everything is settled, she will make sure this old witch suffers and makes her not take her seriously.

After his plan to save the beauty today failed, Bai Junzhe felt a little frustrated. He was at a loss and didn't know what to do next.

Today, after seeing that his arrow had hit the horse's butt, he thought that there was no doubt that the horse would be frightened. Fearing that he would be discovered, he quickly left the scene and lay in ambush at the bend in the road, waiting for the best opportunity to appear.

But when the carriage from Duke Dingguo's Mansion arrived, the injured horse had disappeared, and the remaining two horses were walking steadily. There was no coachman in the carriage, but two maids. Those two maids were obviously skilled in martial arts, and there was a group of guards behind them.

If he fought hard, he would have a chance of winning, but attacking the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion in the capital, under the feet of the emperor, would probably not work. His heart skipped a beat, and he felt that there was no chance for him to be with Qiao Lili anymore. The Duke of Dingguo's mansion was rich and powerful acquired on the battlefield. If he failed in this matter the first time, there would be no chance for him to succeed again. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had alerted the enemy.

Hearing his mother say this, his expression eased a little. He looked up at Bai and said, "Mother, what do you think I should do?" After all, they had interacted more with each other in the past four years and should understand Qiao Lili's character better.

"It's not hard to guess what the girl is thinking. She's still thinking about being together for the rest of her life. She's unhappy to see you taking Miss Lou with you. Ask Miss Lou to explain to her, and then you make amends and apologize, and the matter can be resolved." The more Bai spoke, the more she felt that it was feasible, so she taught Bai Junzhe everything.

When Lou Xinyue heard that the Bai family wanted her to come forward to explain, hatred surged in her heart. But what else could she do? She also needed Qiao Lili to marry into the Bai family to complete the mission.

So, she looked as if she would give up everything for Bai Junzhe, and said softly, "As long as Brother Zhe and Miss Qiao can reconcile, Yue'er is willing to do anything."
