Delicate Beauty Becomes the Beloved of Four Brothers After Her Rebirth!-Chapter 24: The Day of the Banquet
Chapter 24: The Day of the Banquet
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Bai Xianyu looked in the direction of the sound and did not see anything unusual. She retracted her gaze. "I'm fine."
It was not that there were no secret guards in the residence, not to mention that there were so many guards in the front yard. If someone broke in, it was impossible not to be discovered.
Moreover, her courtyard had always been heavily guarded. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟el.c𝚘𝚖
Green Pearl's eyes were almost glued to Bai Xianyu as she said happily, "Miss, you look like a goddess in this!"
"Do you think so?"
"Yes. Look at how compatible this ice silk cloth from the Snow Mountain is with this flowing Moonlight Brocade… Coupled with this smoky-red Ruyi Cross-Collared Fairy Dress, all that's missing is a water lily-colored belt. This is perfect." Green Pearl was very excited. As she spoke, she went to look for it.
Bai Xianyu raised her sleeves and took a look. There was a faint smile on her lips, and the beautiful moonlight flowed on her dress. She was so beautiful that she was glowing.
Xie Xingyun sat on the roof with one leg bent and his slender fingers resting lazily on his knees.
In his previous life, she had dressed up like this to attend his banquet.
In this life, who was she dressing up for?
The young lady seemed to be a little tired from waiting. She raised her head and looked at the moon. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked charming and lively.
The tree moved and the wind blew. He lowered his eyes and his expression could not be seen clearly.
…
On the day of the banquet.
"Mother, what do you think of my outfit?" Bai Yu'er felt a little uncomfortable and did not get into the carriage for a long while.
Madam Bai Meng said happily, "It looks good on you. From the dress to the hairpin ring, they're all good stuff which your grandmother has kept. You can't buy them outside even if you want to. They definitely won't embarrass you."
From Bai Xianyu's words previously, Bai Yu'er roughly knew where the things her grandmother had given her came from.
However, no matter who they originally belonged to, since her grandmother had given them to her, they were hers!
"That's good." Bai Yu'er said happily, "I didn't expect the Eldest Princess to favor me so much. I don't even know when she heard of me. I've only been in the General's Manor for a short time."
Madam Bai Meng was very proud. "Then it must be because your reputation has spread to the capital. You have only just arrived, and she already can't wait to invite you to the banquet. She's obviously treating you as a candidate to be her daughter-in-law. She's afraid that someone will snatch you away!"
Bai Yu'er lowered her head shyly. "Mother, don't say anymore."
She specially went to find out more about Young Marquis Xie. It was said that he was tall, handsome, and talented. The only flaw was that he was a little cold. However, this made his suitors even more like swarms of wild bees and butterflies bent on netting him, who was unattainable and could only be admired from afar.
"Hey, Sister, where are you going?" Bai Yu'er glanced over and saw that Bai Xianyu was also planning to go out, so she hurriedly asked with a smile.
Green Pearl muttered, "You're asking the obvious."
Bai Xianyu turned sideways and smiled. "Yu'er… Big Sister."
Bai Yu'er seemed to have forgotten that Bai Xianyu had gotten her beaten up with boards the last time. "I'm going out too… to the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor. Where are you going, Little Sister? If it's on the way, let's go together."
However, Bai Xianyu did not go along with what she said. Instead, she exclaimed and turned to look at Green Pearl. "Green Pearl, look at the material of Sister Yu'er's dress. Doesn't it look like the material I gave you the day before yesterday?"
Bai Yu'er's smile froze on her face. Under her sleeves, her nails dug into her palms.
Green Pearl also exclaimed, "Yes, I think so too, but Miss has given me too many pieces of good material. I haven't had time to make them into dresses yet, so they've been lying around in my room."
"If Miss Yu'er likes it, Green Pearl can give you the material which Miss has given me?"
Bai Yu'er smiled stiffly and said, "There's no need for that. It seems that Little Sister and I are not going the same way. I'll take my leave first."
