Seeing this, Xie Xingyun’s dark eyes turned even darker as he looked at Bai Xianyu. Rich emotions were mixed in them, making it impossible to see through him.
“Then it’s settled,” he said. ‘Til have someone pick you up in seven days.”
Bai Xianyu declined. “I can go to the temple myself. There’s no need to trouble yourself.”
Xie Xingyun looked down at the top of her head. “As you wish.”
“Wait…”
“If you don’t breach the agreement, I’ll still have to return it to you… Then wouldn’t I have done these three things for nothing?”
She had promised him three things in exchange for him not coming to look for her, and she felt she had suffered a loss.
Bai Xianyu did not believe him at first, but now, the item was in her hands.
With such a life-saving treasure, Xie Xingyun would definitely not breach the agreement.
Unexpectedly, Xie Xingyun glanced at her slowly. “Whether I breach the agreement or not, it’s yours.”
Bai Xianyu was stunned.
“I’m tough. 1 won’t die.”
Her long eyelashes fluttered as she rubbed the hard token with her palms.
Xie Xingyun did this as if he was giving it to her on purpose.
But… why?
Three days later, Bai Xianyu was sitting in the courtyard reading a script when Old Madam of the Longevity Hall came with her nanny.
She closed the page and stood up. “Grandmother.”
Old Madam looked at her indifferently. “Yuantai and the rest agreed to the conditions you mentioned that day, but Yu’er hasn’t been feeling well these days. The doctor said that it will take at least two months for her to get out of bed. When she recovers, bring her to the various residences to walk around and attend some banquets.”
Bai Xianyu did not look surprised at all. “Okay.”
Old Madam was worried and instructed, “Yu’er isn’t as good-looking as you. When you bring her out, give her some jewelry and clothing. Keep a low profile yourself. Anyway, you don’t have to worry about getting married.”
Ever since Bai Yuantai’s family came, Old Madam had become more and more biased. She used to pretend, but now, she was eager to give them all the good things.
There was a saying among the people that “the Emperor loved the eldest son, and the commoners loved the youngest son.” This was vividly displayed by her grandmother.
Bai Xianyu said calmly, “Got it.”
After Old Madam left, Green Pearl whispered, “Does Old Madam want Miss to play second fiddle to Bai Yu’er?”
Bai Xianyu returned to her original position and supported her chin with her hands. “It should be so. Anyway, she’s only worried that Bai Yu’er won’t be able to get married.”
“Even if Miss doesn’t dress up and wear rough hemp clothes, you still look a hundred times better than Bai Yu’er.” Green Pearl was very confident in her Miss’s looks. “Those wives of the officials will definitely ignore her.”
Just as Green Pearl finished speaking, the sound of someone leaning on a walking stick came from outside the courtyard. Old Madam had actually turned back.
“Xianyu.”
Bai Xianyu responded.
“Yuan’er is on leave today. Follow me to see him.”
It seemed like she would not be able to read the book today. Bai Xianyu asked Green Pearl to bring everything in and then, she followed her.
Old Madam stood beside a pear tree. Her body was hunched, and her eyes were beaming.
When Bai Xianyu walked to her side, Old Madam asked her to support her. Her turbid eyes looked at Bai Jingyuan’s courtyard and she said, “Your uncle and cousin have also been in the capital for a while. It’s not good to be idle at home all the time.”
Bai Xianyu immediately understood what she meant.
As expected, in the next second, Old Madam said as if she was ordering, “Yuan’er has a high official position and has many people working under him. It’s simple to find an official position for Yuan Tai and Mao’er. This way, Yu’er won’t be looked down on when she marries over. Put in a good word for them in front of your Third Brother today..”
