The village chief asked when Bai Xiangye left. Bai Lingyue was stunned for a moment. After she came to her senses, she hurriedly covered her mouth and ran out.
The village chief is so remorseful, why would he mention Miss Bai's sadness? If he had known it earlier, he would not have asked. He thought Bai Lingyue was sad.
Bai Lingyue covered her mouth and got into the carriage before laughing out loud.
"Miss, that village chief is really..." Xiao Taohong didn't dare to laugh, but she was quite happy to see the young lady smiling.
Bai Lingyue wiped her tears after laughing enough.
"Hey, I didn't expect the village chief to be very careful, but we also lied to him. Let's go!" Bai Lingyue settled the matter and didn't care so much. She and her mother are not orphans and widowed mothers. ? Who in the White House paid attention to them again.
It was already evening when Bai Lingyue returned to the capital. She invited all the military masters to dinner and gave each of them ten taels of silver.
"No, no, no, we can't take it." Those military masters waved their hands hurriedly, how dare they ask for the money given by Miss Bai.
"Take it. If you don't take it, I will tell the prince that you are ineffective." Bai Lingyue threatened everyone.
The military men looked at each other, this... should I take it or not? It seemed that it didn't matter whether I took it or not.
"Take it, military lords. Our young lady will give you some kind words in the future, and the prince will also use you." Xiao Taohong smoothed things over.
The military men happily accepted the money, feeling very fond of Bai Lingyue. She was such a capable little girl, why was she called a loser? Looking at her attitude and method of handling things, why does she look so familiar?
Bai Lingyue returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and all the people she sent out also came back, waiting in her yard to prepare to report on their work.
"Miss, let's go out and get everything done today." When Nanny Lin saw Bai Lingyue enter the room, and saw the tiredness and excitement on her face, she knew that the eldest lady was happy, so she said directly Today's work situation.
"We have done everything. Those military masters are really useful. We listened to whatever they said. When we came back, we invited them to dinner as the eldest lady wanted. Each of them was given ten taels of silver."
The few people who were sent out carefully explained the situation of their outing today.
Bai Lingyue knew that once the regent's people came forward, there was nothing they couldn't do, because the regent's reputation was the best talisman.
"Xiao Taohong, give everyone the red envelopes I prepared. Everyone should go to rest early and serve your mother well." Bai Lingyue asked Xiao Taohong to take out the red envelopes she prepared and distribute them to everyone.
"Miss, we all have monthly bonuses, and our monthly bonuses are higher than other girls. It's our duty to serve the eldest lady. We can't ask for more." Aunt Lin and Aunt Li waved their hands first. They were I really want to help the eldest lady.
"Take it, you deserve it. Our life will get better and better in the future. By the way, what I want to say is that if you have any difficulties at home, you can tell your mother or me directly. Don't Let others take advantage of it.”
Bai Lingyue glanced at the person she chose and said seriously.
"Miss, we have taken note of it."
These people have received so much silver reward from Bai Lingyue, so they will definitely look down on the petty profits of other people. Besides, they are the eldest lady's people, so they have to work for the eldest lady.
After everyone was dismissed, Bai Lingyue soaked in the bathtub filled with flower petals. After a tiring day, she took a bath to relieve her fatigue.
There will definitely be a tough battle tomorrow, and she must go all out to deal with it.
Bai Lingyue fell asleep quickly, but she didn't notice that after she fell asleep, a figure floated in from the window. He stood beside her bed and looked at her quietly, with a pair of big hands scattering her broken hair on her face. It was stroked up.
Early the next morning, Bai Lingyue was woken up by someone. Cuizhu and Xiao Taohong beside Mrs. Bai started making a fuss at the door.
"What's the matter?" Bai Lingyue asked. Why did she feel a faint scent of wintersweet in the room when she just woke up? But the noise outside diverted her doubts.
"Miss, the old lady asked you to go to the front yard." Cuizhu shouted with a raised voice.
"Well, I'll get up and wash up right away." Bai Lingyue agreed, but Cuizhu didn't leave. She waited aside.
Xiao Taohong glared at Cuizhu fiercely, then turned around to fetch water and help Bai Lingyue wash up, comb her hair and dress her.
After everything was done, Bai Lingyue had breakfast again. Cuizhu was urging her on, but Bai Lingyue ignored her.
Bai Lingyue stood up after eating enough, then took a hosta from her head and pinned it to Xiao Taohong.
"Young ladies need to dress up beautifully, don't be so plain."
The hosta looked like a good thing at first glance. Cuizhu's eyes widened. Did the lady just give it to her if she asked for such a good thing? There was inevitably some jealousy in her heart.
After serving the old lady for so many years, the most rewards I received were some scattered silver and some cakes I didn’t like to eat. When had I ever seen such a good thing.
"Thank you, Miss. I haven't worn the pearl flowers you rewarded yesterday yet!" Xiao Taohong was a little embarrassed. The Miss had given her so many things, but she didn't even have time to wear them for fear of being jealous.
"From now on, we will wear the jewelry I give you in turn, and we will look beautiful." Bai Lingyue said to Xiao Taohong very fondly.
The conversation between the master and the servant made Cuizhu sour.
As she spoke, she came to the flower hall in the front yard. Mrs. Bai and the aunts of the Bai family were all sitting upright, waiting for her.
"I've met my grandmother." Bai Lingyue saluted Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai had a stern look on her face. She seemed to know what happened yesterday. Aunt Yun's face was not good either. What happened yesterday was so sudden that she was not prepared at all. She originally thought that Bai Lingyue would calm down after making a fuss. In a few days, she could prepare.
Who knew that Bai Lingyue caught them off guard.
"Kneel down!" Mrs. Bai shouted angrily.
Bai Lingyue didn't argue with her and knelt down.
Mrs. Bai was so angry that she was shaking all over. Looking at Bai Lingyue, she really wanted to slap her to death.
"Where did you go yesterday?" Mrs. Bai asked.
"I went to Peach Blossom Village on the outskirts of the capital. I don't know what happened to my mother's fertile farmland over the years, but I haven't received any revenue, so my granddaughter went to have a look."
Bai Lingyue said very calmly.
"Why are you, a girl, traveling so far away? It's not your turn to dictate matters in the Bai Mansion. Why don't you just stay at home and study with Lian'er?"
When Mrs. Bai looked at her granddaughter, she remembered her son's unwillingness, so she never liked Bai Lingyue.
"Grandma, what my granddaughter is going to deal with is not the Bai family's affairs, but my mother's affairs. Mother's dowry will belong to the granddaughter from now on. My mother has already given the land deed to her granddaughter. Is there anything wrong with my granddaughter going to pack her own things? ?”
