Chapter 893 The eldest lady of the Bai family
Bai Yuhan entered the side room and sat in front of the dressing mirror in a daze. The maid brought in snacks and called her several times, but she seemed not to hear.
She kept thinking about what Xiao Yu said to her.
The maid leaned close to Bai Yuhan's ear and raised her voice: "Miss, the eldest lady invites you to dinner."
Bai Yuhan was startled by the sudden voice, "Why are you so loud? You scared me."
The maid was stunned. Was her voice loud? No, it wasn't. Why did the young lady look so worried? Did she do something wrong?
The maid smiled sweetly and said, "Miss, the Madam wants you to come over."
Bai Yuhan saw her looking so proud and smiling so happily, "Why are you so happy?"
"Now no one in our Bai family is unhappy. Shouldn't the young lady be happy too?"
"What should I be happy about?"
"Shouldn't we be happy to move to Shengjing? It's prosperous and lively here. Madam said that our Bai family's rouge and powder will sell better in the future. We will become richer and richer, with lots and lots of money." The maid's face was full of smiles.
Bai Yuhan rolled her eyes. Bai's rouge and powder have always been selling well, and they are well-known in every state and county of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Bai family is not short of money. Does this make her so happy that they are getting richer and richer?
Disaster is about to strike.
She suddenly thought of what Xiao Yu had told her. The Queen asked her to find out where the man in black was hiding. She couldn't understand how the Queen knew that the Bai family was related to the man in black. Who was the man in black?
This means that the transaction between the Bai family and the men in black did not escape the eyes of the emperor and empress. My father thought that no one else knew about it, but it turns out that the empress had known about it for a long time.
Sooner or later, the Bai family will be implicated by Qin Yunyan. Only now did she know that the woman's real name was Qin Yunyan.
How to save the Bai family?
Seeing her mumbling something, the maid tentatively asked, "Miss..."
Bai Yuhan asked, "My mother is waiting for me to eat?"
The maid nodded and said, "Madam asked me to invite the young lady over. I have told you several times. Didn't the young lady hear me?"
Bai Yuhan was too lazy to listen to the maid's nagging and went straight to Madam Bai's yard. She saw that Madam Bai was dressed very luxuriously. She wore gold and silver jewelry, which was very luxurious. She changed into a brightly colored dress and looked completely different from the way she looked at home.
Bai Yuhan exclaimed, "Mom, why are you dressed like this? Where did you get these things? Who did your makeup..."
Madam Bai glanced at her daughter and said, "We've been in Shengjing for so long, and you haven't even taken me shopping. Shengjing has so many beautiful clothes and jewelry, and the styles are so new. Zhiyan was the one who bought them for me. She's an adopted daughter, but she's even more attentive to me than you, my biological daughter. You don't see her all day."
"Han'er, look at how beautiful I've become. Look at my makeup. Zhiyan said it's called scheming makeup." Madam Bai was in a good mood after wearing her new clothes. She added, "These clothes and jewelry were bought with the money your father gave me."
Bai Yuhan looked at her mother for a few times and said perfunctorily, "It's just so-so! It's okay!"
Mrs. Bai was immediately displeased when she saw her daughter's attitude. "What do you mean it's okay? Zhiyan said this color really complements my skin tone. Your father's little vixens dress up flamboyantly, but they look just so-so. They've bewitched your father to bits, but I still have my charm even when I dress up."
Bai Yuhan now felt annoyed when she heard Qin Yunyan's name. She said, "Mom, don't listen to her nonsense. She's just a liar. She's fooled both Mom and Dad. Mom, be careful of her..."
The confidence Madam Bai had finally built up was instantly dashed by her daughter, and her face immediately fell: "What bad intentions could she have? Your father said that she is here to help our Bai family. If the Bai family wants to gain a foothold in the capital, they must rely on the imperial power. Your father has his own plans..."
"Mom, don't you think about why she came to help our family? She has no relatives with us, so why would she come to us? She is beautiful and wants to marry the emperor. She can seduce the emperor herself. Why does she want to drag our Bai family into this?" Bai Yuhan was also angry.
Madam Bai was stunned. She didn't think about why. She just knew that she got along well with Bai Zhiyan. The key was that she was sweet-mouthed and could help her come up with ideas to keep the master in her room. She was quite satisfied with her life in Shengjing these days.
"Mom, she has no good intentions. Have you ever doubted her identity?" Bai Yuhan became clearer after Xiao Yu's reminder.
Madam Bai smiled nonchalantly and said, "I asked your father, she is not your father's illegitimate daughter. Your father can't give birth to such a beautiful daughter."
Bai Yuhan just wanted to roll her eyes. No wonder her mother couldn't defeat the concubines in the Bai family's harem. If it weren't for her help, her mother Gu would have been divorced long ago.
She knew that she was not her father's illegitimate daughter, but she had ulterior motives in approaching the Bai family.
Bai Yuhan now sees her mother is so proud, she probably won't listen to anything she says to her. What if she turns around and tells Qin Yunyan what she said...
Her mother could do such a thing.
At this time, the housekeeper came over hurriedly and saw Bai Yuhan was also there, "Greetings, Madam, Second Miss."
Bai Yuhan was originally the eldest daughter, but since Bai Zhiyan came, she became the second daughter.
Bai Yuhan's attitude was also not good, "What's the matter?"
"The master asked me to give the invitation sent by General Shang's Mansion to the eldest lady. General Shang and Minister Shen's family are going to have a wedding, and our Bai family has also received an invitation. The master asked the lady to get ready and go to the wedding with the master." The butler explained.
When Madam Bai heard that she would attend the wedding with the master, her mood improved. Everything went smoothly since she came to the capital. Bai He not only came to her room every day, but also bought her gifts with money. Now he asked her to accompany him to such an important wedding banquet.
Madam Bai said, "Go and report this to the master. I will prepare it right away."
Bai Yuhan was listening on the side and found it strange. The Bai family had just moved to Shengjing and was just a merchant family. Why would General Shang’s Mansion and Minister Shen’s Mansion invite the Bai family to the wedding banquet? They really thought too highly of the Bai family!
Bai Yuhan started to act coquettishly with her mother, "Mom, please take your daughter with you!"
Madam Bai said, "Han'er, stay home and don't go anywhere. When you entered the palace and became Concubine Han, it was known to the whole city. There were so many people at the wedding banquet and there were so many gossips. Mother is afraid that they will stir up that matter again."
Bai Yuhan didn't think about anything else and thought that what her mother said was quite right. At that time, she was pointed out to be Concubine Han. The Shang family and the Shen family were holding a wedding, and there must be dignitaries present. It would be better for her not to show up.
What Bai Yuhan didn't expect was that her mother kept saying that it was for her own good that she shouldn't show up in public, but when she went to the business to attend the wedding banquet, she took Qin Yunyan with her.
When Bai Yuhan found out, he was so angry that his chest felt like it was about to explode.
