Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Just a Little Child Who Throws Tantrums
Bai Yanyan heard him agree and didn’t bother with anything else.
She waved her hand impatiently: "Got it, got it, you lords, always so wordy."
After speaking, Bai Yanyan turned around: "Which big house did you arrange for me? My aunt said, you would find eight servants to attend to me."
Carelessly, her words carried a bit of an accent.
Wang Yi glared angrily at her.
Bai Yanyan nervously pursed her lips: "It won’t happen next time, just got to the Capital, not used to it yet."
Wang Yi didn’t want to engage further with this overly petty child.
He arranged for the housekeeper to take Bai Yanyan to an empty courtyard.
From the moment Bai Yanyan entered the courtyard, she couldn’t help the glow in her eyes.
A small courtyard could even have rockeries and flowing water.
Truly the home of wealth, just as her aunt said!
Bai Yanyan entered the house and wandered around.
She found that this house was twice the size of her thatched home.
Solid wood furniture, purple draping curtains, a yellow pear wood bed that could fit three people lying down.
Bai Yanyan only felt she was destined to be a phoenix, about to enjoy a life of luxury!
At this moment, a little maid arranged by the housekeeper came in.
"My name is Taxue, I’m instructed to serve Miss Yan."
Bai Yanyan frowned displeased: "My last name is Bai, privately, you should call me Miss Bai!"
Taxue said worriedly: "Please don’t make it difficult for me, Miss, the master instructed to only address you as Miss Yan."
Bai Yanyan was about to get angry but held it back.
Wang Yi said she hadn’t yet gained Bai Xilie’s trust, she needed to keep the disguise.
Being a distinguished guest of the Wang family could get such a good residence; if she truly became a Princess, wouldn’t there be twenty palace attendants serving her every day?
Her aunt said, being a Princess means soaking your hands and feet in gold and jade filings daily.
Thinking of this, Bai Yanyan rubbed her eyes, feigning grievance.
"Taxue, don’t blame me for being harsh earlier, it’s because I felt wronged."
"I traveled all this way to seek my Father, who would have known he wouldn’t recognize me, and now Uncle Wang has stripped me of my surname."
"If my Empress Mother knew, how heartbroken she’d be!"
Taxue consoled her: "Since Miss Yan is here, don’t think too much. Rest well today and tell me if there’s anything you’d like to eat."
Bai Yanyan weakly nodded, and only then did Taxue place the teapot on the table and leave.
After she left, Bai Yanyan felt around herself.
She realized that their imitation purple jade pendant was left at the court.
Perhaps it was taken by Bai Xilie.
Bai Yanyan didn’t look happy.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror and finally let out a cold snort.
"Take it, then take it."
She still had an ace up her sleeve that she hadn’t used yet.
When the time comes, Bai Xilie won’t be able to not believe her.
Earlier at the court, Bai Yanyan had already seen Zhi’er.
"Just a child known for throwing tantrums." She muttered under her breath.
Zhi’er definitely couldn’t outplay her scheming mind.
Because from the moment Bai Yanyan was born, there were already five sisters ahead of her.
Her parents desperately wanted a boy, yet it was not meant to be.
With six girls at home, her parents would often resort to scolding and hitting.
To survive by gaining favor, Bai Yanyan learned to be cunning from a young age.
Once she becomes a Princess, she’ll secretly order the execution of her former family.
That way, no one would know her past.
Thinking of this, Bai Yanyan smiled smugly and picked up the teapot to pour herself some tea.
But as soon as it reached her mouth, it turned out to be scalding hot!
"Pfft—" She spat it all out, her lips instantly reddened from the burn!
"It’s burning me!" Bai Yanyan screamed.
