C28 Two Bumpkins

Bai Suyue's heartbeat sped up. As she turned the corner, she covered her chest with her hands. The trajectory of her past life had changed from the moment she was reborn. This made her feel an even deeper sense of danger towards the future.

The night quietly went by, and the day of Old Madam Bai Family's birthday had arrived. Early in the morning, the entire General's Estate began to get busy, and Bai Zhen had his servants prepare gifts for them. His face blossomed with a bit of glory, and he looked extremely happy.

Bai Suyue casually wore a light blue long skirt and walked out of the courtyard. When she saw Bai Mansion's old housekeeper, Zhou, standing guard at the entrance, upon seeing Bai Suyue's clothes, she immediately frowned.

"Young miss, don't you think it's a joke that you're dressed in like this? Does our General's Estate have any good clothes?"

Bai Suyue saw the nervous look on Zhou's face and couldn't bear to dampen his positive mood.

In her previous life, she was dressed up to the brim and looked like a flower, but in the end, she was still ridiculed and fled in a sorry state. Her clothes that she spent a lot of time preparing were stomped on the ground like a rag.

"Where's father?"

"The general and eldest young master have already boarded the carriage, there's only the young miss left!"

Bai Suyue nodded. She only had Rong with her, not even preparing a birthday present.

Before she left, she glanced at the pile of ashes in the corner of the wall.

This was a painting that she had prepared for half a year. As a person who had never touched a needle or thread before, she had spent a lot of her rest time to embroider a lifespan map for the madame.

Thinking about her ten fingers, because she had started learning embroidery, she couldn't help but have a wry smile on the corner of her mouth.

She was truly a fool. Just because Yan Yingrou wanted to cling onto Bai Family and whisper some good words about Bai Family people into her ears, she did everything possible to curry favor with those people from the Prime Minister's Estate. In the end, she could only take out her dignity for them to trample on.

After getting on the carriage, Bai Suyue saw her brother Bai Junye whom she hadn't seen for a few days. Bai Junye only glanced at her once and didn't say anything.

It was just an apology, and it couldn't erase her mistake. Bai Suyue thought of her elder sister-in-law who was bedridden, and suddenly thought of Mu Qiu, who was able to heal her veins and cure her poison.

Her eyes blazed as she tightly clenched her hands under her sleeves. She had finally thought of a way to restore her relationship with her big brother.

"Yue Er, what are you thinking about? Get on!"

Bai Suyue responded and sat awkwardly opposite Bai Junye and Bai Zhen.

The three of them sat in the spacious carriage in front with gifts placed at the back. Everyone started to move towards Bai Family.

The old mistress' sixtieth birthday had been prepared for a long time. The current emperor had even specially allowed a day of holiday to the court officials, allowing them an endless stream of guests.

Bai Suyue opened the curtains and looked at the familiar big entrance and the scene that was etched in her mind. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

However, just at this moment, a carriage suddenly stopped right next to the General's Estate carriage. The purple-gold carriage door opened, and a man wearing a dark red embroidered robe instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Bai Suyue followed her father and brother out of the carriage and accidentally made eye contact. The corner of Yan Mochi's mouth slightly curved, revealing a slightly strange smile.

Bai Suyue only felt chills running down her spine, but there was unspeakable doubt in her eyes.

Because in the grand birthday feast in her previous life, she didn't see Yan Mochi at all.

Their gazes intersected for a moment, then they quickly parted, leaving no trace behind.

Bai Suyue followed Bai Zhen and Bai Junye through the main entrance of the Prime Minister's Estate. Naturally, the women and officials weren't in the same area. Bai Zhen instructed Bai Suyue in detail before bringing Bai Junye into the front courtyard.

The one who led the way for Bai Suyue was a servant girl wearing a blue dress. Rong followed closely behind her, looking around with eyes full of surprise.

"Miss, this Prime Minister's residence is so big, bigger than our General's Estate by several times!"

Rong couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

When the maidservant leading the way saw Rong looking like a country bumpkin, she immediately revealed a mocking smile and said, "This Prime Minister's Residence has many scenery, but they are all meticulously designed. I'm afraid there aren't even official residences as large and good as the Prime Minister's Residence in the entire Imperial City!"

The young maid's tone of voice only hinted at the position of the prime minister as head of a hundred officials. It also revealed her contempt for General's Estate.

Bai Suyue put her hands behind her back as if she did not care. "So what if you're in a big house? You can't even sleep on a two-foot bed board!"

When the blue-clothed maid heard Bai Suyue's words, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes. At this moment, the two of them had already arrived at the main courtyard's gate. A beautiful and proud beauty walked towards them.

Bai Suyue instantly recognized the girl in front of her.

"This servant greets Eldest Miss!"

The blue-clothed maid bowed. Bai Ruoshui instantly saw Bai Suyue, who was standing behind the maid. Her eyes slightly raised as she asked, "Did you call these two maids over?"

When the blue-clothed maid heard Bai Ruoshui's words, she inwardly laughed. However, she still explained, "I didn't find them, they are …"

Before the blue-clothed maid could finish speaking, Bai Ruoshui interrupted her and said, "All of you, go and clean up my room!"

Leaving behind these words, Bai Ruoshui instantly disappeared from sight. The blue-clothed maid then bowed towards Bai Suyue, "This is how Eldest Miss is. As the direct daughter of the Prime Minister's Estate, she's a little busy. I hope that Miss Yue does not mind!"

You don't mind?

Bai Suyue had long understood her second cousin's temper. Relying on her eldest sister's status as the imperial concubine, she had always looked down on others and looked down on her. She didn't care before because she wanted to curry favor with her.

She sighed softly, "Why would I be angry? If elder cousin Shui's memory is so bad, does that mean she's sick? Do you want me to find two doctors to let elder cousin see if she has brains?"

Hearing Bai Suyue's mockery, the blue-robed maid instantly widened her eyes in astonishment. She coughed dryly twice before leading Bai Suyue into the courtyard.

"Miss Yue, please wait over here. The old lady will be here shortly."

With a swagger, she brought Rong into the crowd. With two such high-profile people suddenly appearing, they instantly attracted the attention of the ladies waiting in the courtyard. Everyone's gaze fell onto Bai Suyue.

"Isn't this Bai Suyue, the daughter of a general who had her engagement annulled by the crown prince? How could she still have the face to come here?"

"Look at her appearance, I don't even know what it means to be low-key. I heard that this woman is very unknown, it's better to stay away from her!"
