Chapter 137: Come to Bai Mansion for a Banquet

I looked at the secret guard angrily, and kept making humming sounds in my throat to express my protest. Obviously, this method would only prolong the time for the secret guard.

We usually practice for one hour, but this time it took two. I'm pretty sure that this guy was just upset with me for having a good time just now, so he's retaliating against me.

I felt my body was completely numb, probably due to the alcohol. I was so sleepy that I couldn't even open my eyes. I almost fell asleep in horse stance, and my head began to doze off little by little.

When I sat down on the ground, I found that it was almost dawn. After sitting on the ground for a while, I wanted to lie down on the ground and sleep. Before my back touched the ground, I suddenly had a thought in my mind.

No, my body was covered with needles by the secret guards. If I lay down like this, the needles would go deep into my back. I stretched out my hand and began to rub my back, but found nothing.

Suddenly I remembered that, I could have sat down, how could I still be feeling the pain? I was almost sober after being so excited, so I prepared to go back to my room to sleep.

Just as I was about to move my body, I felt a piercing numbness in my legs. The numbness went all over my body. I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. By the time I recovered and could stand up, an incense stick of time had passed.

I dragged my broken body, feeling as if I was being raped, and was almost crawling onto my bed when the door behind me was pushed open. I didn't even have the strength to turn around to see who it was.

I heard Hongdou's noisy voice and came up to help me, but she didn't help me to the bed, but helped me to a chair. As I watched myself getting farther and farther away from the bed, my heart was filled with grief.

Unfortunately, my body was weak and someone forced me onto a stool. I lay directly on the table, and Hongdou took out a thick stack of invitations from behind her.

I was almost drowsy without even lifting my eyelids, and I heard Hongdou talking non-stop in my ear. I didn't hear clearly what this guy was saying, but I felt like I was being helped up again.

I felt my clothes being taken off, and I was wondering if they were changing my clothes so I could have a good sleep. It wasn't until the last piece of clothing was taken off that I felt something was wrong.

He groaned twice because of discomfort and struggled for a while, then was carried into the water. The water temperature was specially adjusted, and it was really comfortable to soak in the hot water, which made him want to sleep even more.

I just leaned on the side and let them torment me however they wanted. When I got dressed and lay on the bed, I felt the light in the room suddenly dim, and I wanted to turn over and continue sleeping.

I felt someone caressing my body, as if he was massaging my calves. I felt extremely refreshed after taking a bath, and I was still woken up by being shaken when I woke up.

I saw Hongdou anxiously helping me up. It was convenient to hold it in her hand and then put it on me. I was not fully awake yet and was about to go back to the warm bed.

I was caught by Hongdou and when I was sitting in front of the mirror to dress up, Hongdou kept touching my face. Someone still carried me up to the carriage and I lay in it and continued to sleep.

Hongdou just kept adjusting my sleeping position, probably to prevent the makeup on my face from being messed up. When the bumpy carriage stopped, Hongdou started to shake me.

I felt like I was dead and no matter how much I shook me, I couldn't wake up. Why? It was because one cannot wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. I just deliberately didn't open my eyes and Hongdou let me go after a while.

I was still secretly rejoicing in my heart, wondering if I should go back and have a good sleep, when suddenly I smelled something very pungent in my nose.

This thing really couldn't help but sneeze, and it kept waking me up. I saw Hongdou holding an incense burner in his hand and using one hand to fan my face continuously.

This thing is quite effective. When Hongdou saw that I woke up, he put the incense burner aside, extinguished it with water, and then pulled me out.

My brain still wanted to struggle, but reason told me that after having come this far, it would be impossible not to get up. I pulled the mirror over and looked at my face, which had no makeup on.

I followed Hongdou out of the door, and when I saw the familiar Bai Mansion, I was puzzled. Why is it the Bai Mansion again? In such a big Manxiang Tower, is there no other place except the Bai Mansion?

I looked at Hongdou strangely, pointed at Bai's house and asked what was going on and why I came to Bai's house. Hongdou pushed me inside and said that she had told me to pay attention to the banquet of the ladies from the noble family.

The banquets at the Bai Mansion have always been grand, and they are nearby. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Now that I'm here, I see the servants have already taken the gift packages I prepared, and all the things have been given away.

I had no choice but to go, so I went in. When the crowd saw me coming, they didn't react at first, until one person started pointing at me and saying something.

The crowd behind me started to get excited. After all, they were all girls from wealthy families. They couldn't point at me and talk to me. Instead, they looked at me with their eyes. Some of them looked very unfriendly, as if they wanted to peel off my skin.

Some people just wanted to watch the fun. I ignored them and sat down in the farthest seat, listening to Hongdou telling me in my ear who this was and who that was.

I seemed to be listening, but my mind had already flown away. I began to think that the food in Bai Mansion must be delicious. Now that Xiaobai was not here, I didn't know who to look for. Should I look for those familiar-looking servants?

It's not impossible. I started to recall the faces of the servants I had just seen, trying to find one that I was familiar with. Unfortunately, there was none. I was interrupted by Hongdou's push.

I then realized that there was a girl sitting opposite me. She was dressed in white. It was almost dark now, and the girl's face looked hazy and charming in the light of the candle.

I subconsciously asked, who is this pretty girl from? Then Hongdou pulled my clothes. I saw a strange expression on her face and realized that what I said was wrong.

I came to my senses and looked at the girl in front of me again. Who else could it be but Bai Yiren? Bai Yiren froze in embarrassment at what I said just now, and looked at me strangely.

I smiled at her awkwardly, but Bai Yiren said sarcastically and honestly, "No one is prettier than me," and to deal with such sarcastic words, the way to deal with them is to impress them with sincerity.

I covered my mouth and smiled, a very happy smile. It must be nice to be praised for being pretty. I agreed readily and said that Bai Yiren was okay, but there was something wrong with her makeup today. If she was better, she would definitely be able to compare with mine.
