Chapter 139 Signing a Contract with Bai Yiren

Looking at her smug look, I understood in my heart. No wonder I seldom see such acrobats. Their performance is really amazing. I secretly made note of this incident.

But the meaning of her words was very clear, she just didn't like me, so I asked innocently, "Miss Bai, I don't think I have ever offended you, and when Miss Bai kept pestering my brother-in-law, did you want to be my brother-in-law's mistress?"

What I said undoubtedly exposed Bai Yiren's shortcomings. She glared at me and said that I was the daughter of the Bai family, so how could I be a mistress? I didn't respond to her and just kept talking about my own things.

"Miss Bai, if you want to be a mistress, you must please my sister. If you come to irritate me, I will reduce your points in front of them."

I didn't even know what I was saying, and Hongdou heard it. She kept pulling my clothes to remind me. But the words were already said, so there was no point in saying anything else.

But this really made Bai Yiren mad, and she started to rant at me.

Maybe because of the scream just now, I didn't dare to speak too loudly.

Several times I purposely leaned closer to ask, "I can't hear you."

This made Bai Yiren even angrier. It’s not that I really couldn’t hear it, there was bamboo burning nearby.

The sound of the firecracker was no less than that of firecrackers. For a while I really couldn't hear it.

But after hearing what Bai Yiren said, I also knew why this guy was like this.

All this time was just because there were rumors that I was Xiaobai's wife.

She doesn't want me to be her sister-in-law, and today's banquet was deliberately prepared for me.

I am really touched by this. It must have been hard work for Bai Yiren to come here and make such a big process.

Now that everything has been said, I will start my acting career.

"I don't want to be your sister-in-law either. How about you think of another sister-in-law to introduce to your brother?"

What I said didn't make Bai Yiren happy. She even stopped talking. It must be because I didn't follow the routine at all.

What he said was unexpected, and I continued to show Bai Yiren the people in the courtyard.

"Look, you're still unmarried and you're here for the banquet. You've fallen for your brother, right? Pick one out of them. If that doesn't work out, I'll introduce you to one."

Bai Yiren obviously didn't believe it. She pointed at me and told me not to lie to her. She said that she was trying to do all kinds of things just because she was attracted by my brother's status.

Why do these words sound so familiar? I looked at Bai Yiren suspiciously and asked tentatively.

How about giving me some money? This was very much to Bai Yiren's liking, and her eyes also meant that her true colors had been revealed.

I think this is possible. Xiaobai, Xiaobai, you are smart all your life, but since your sister is coming to you to give herself to her, don't blame me for destroying her with my rotten hands.

I was so happy in my heart. Bai Yiren was also generous and asked me how much money I wanted. I made a number with my finger.

I don’t know how much I want, so I’m trying to test Bai Yiren’s bottom line.

"One thousand taels?" Hearing the disdain in Bai Yiren's tone, she didn't seem to take the one thousand taels seriously at all.

I shook my finger, "One hundred taels!"

The one hundred taels of silver made Bai Yiren's eyes blossom with joy, but there was also a look of contempt in her eyes, which of course meant that she looked down on me.

But I was not so easily fooled, so I continued, "I want gold."

The hand that was taking out the money for Bai Yiren was stunned. He looked up at me and praised me for having a big appetite.

I looked at Bai Yiren. Since this guy was sure that I was after Xiaobai's money, I would seem to be letting her down if I didn't ask for more.

"Isn't your brother worth the price?" My rhetorical question made Bai Yiren mutter to herself.

But he didn't say he wouldn't give it to me. I thought this was really going to happen, and I was already looking at Bai Yiren's hand as she was taking money out of her pocket.

In the end, Bai Yiren only took out a dozen silver notes, each worth one thousand taels.

It was obvious that Bai Yiren had never expected that I would want gold, and she had no preparation.

But these dozen or so are enough, so I took all of them and kept one in my hand.

He asked the maid beside Bai Yiren to prepare writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone, but the maid didn't move at first.

I looked at Bai Yiren, who was about to leave. Bai Yiren seemed to understand something and raised her hand.

Before the maid left, I couldn't help but admire her, "Ms. Bai's maid really only listens to you."

"You can't keep someone who doesn't listen even though you've spent money on him." This makes sense, but there's something wrong with Bai Yiren's eyes.

Looking at the strange look in Hongdou's eyes, I understood and took Hongdou's hand to signal her to be at ease.

"This one in my family is a little ancestor." Bai Yiren then retracted her gaze.

The maid brought the things back, and I raised my hand to show off the calligraphy that I had recently practiced with Nuonuo.

After I finished writing a full page of paper, I pushed it in front of Bai Yiren and let her read it slowly.

Finally, she put the paper down, looked at me with a frown, said nothing, picked up the pen and wrote one herself.

Both parties signed everything, and the cooperation ended happily. I stood up as usual and wanted to extend my hand.

I stopped halfway through, the damn muscle memory was too strong, and I sat back in my seat.

Looking at the crowd again, the courtyard was now divided into several parts. Some were listening to opera, some were listening to storytelling, and some were drinking tea.

When I read the storytelling, I thought of Zhuzhu. Is this what is so fascinating?

Bai Yiren saw that I was happy and looked in the direction I was looking at curiously.

Pointing to the girl sitting at the table drinking tea, he said, "That lady is very nice, but she just got married."

Then I realized that in order to hide the embarrassment of my absent-mindedness, I still said, what a pity, what a pity.

I saw that people were having a lively conversation in the courtyard, so it wasn't realistic to sneak away now.

I plan to find a group to kill time and make new friends.

Bai Yiren didn't care about me. After completing the task, she happily told me to have fun and then skipped away.

This is completely different from how I looked when I came in. I began to suspect that this guy was sent by Xiaobai to mess with me.

I stood up and sat down on the stage, my mind thinking about getting to know people but my brain still wasn’t quite willing.

It was annoying enough to hear Hongdou talking non-stop beside me, and as soon as Hongdou saw Bai Yiren leave her sight.

I relaxed myself and patted my chest and said, "I was scared to death." I looked at the girl and asked her if Bai Yiren was so scary.

Hongdou waved her hands and said, it’s not Bai Yiren who is scary, it’s the maid beside her who is scary.

I thought about it, confused. There didn't seem to be anything scary about that girl. She looked gentle and kind, with a bit of a queen in her.
