In the first row sat a woman in a black power suit. Her wrist and the high ponytail were tied up with a red jade belt that was as dazzling as flames. Her eyes seemed to be painted, and her eyebrows were exquisite. Her expression was cold, but the smile in her voice did not diminish.
When Bai Xianyu saw her, her pupils constricted slightly. “Ji Shuang!”
Ji Shuang was her best friend in her previous life and Prince Pingnan’s only granddaughter.
She had hated those red tapes since she was young and wanted to travel the world with her sword one day. After she married Xie Xingyun, Ji Shuang actually disguised herself as a man and went into her grandfather’s military camp. Because of her outstanding military achievements, she was eventually promoted to be the only female general of Great Kui as an exception.
Bai Xianyu remembered that when Ji Shuang became a general, she was still a new wife. She secretly ran out of the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor to celebrate with her.
However, she hugged her and cried for the entire night. That was the first time Bai Xianyu saw her so sad.
The next day, Ji Shuang went to the palace to resign.
After that, Bai Xianyu never saw her again.
Some people said that she went into hiding because she was afraid of revenge from the crown prince of the Northern Desert.
However, she felt that this was definitely not the case.
Ji Shuang’s personality was the complete opposite of hers. She was cold, arrogant, and had no regard for etiquette. She was even more cynical than a real profligate son.
But Bai Xianyu liked her very much.
When she was young, her family did not have such a status. In the academy, it was always Ji Shuang who protected her and Fourth Brother.
However, many things happened after that. She returned to Prince Pingnan’s territory and gave her half a jade pendant before she left.

In the blink of an eye, she had returned.
Bai Xianyu was very happy. She took a few steps forward and held her hand. She smiled and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that you were back?”
Ji Shuang curled her lips coldly. “1 just arrived not long ago. I was looking for you, but you weren’t at home.”
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, the people around them realized that this woman in black was actually Prince Pingnan’s granddaughter. They all looked over.
Bai Xianyu said, “That’s because the people in my residence didn’t tell me. I only know now that you looked for me.”
Ji Shuang raised her eyebrows. “It has nothing to do with them. I went straight to your courtyard.”
Bai Xianyu,”…”
“There are too many twists and turns through the front door. It’s troublesome.” Her tone was indifferent.
Bai Xianyu smiled. This was still the Ji Shuang she was familiar with.
“Cousin…” Bai Yu’er’s voice sounded timidly. “Who is this sister?”
Bai Xianyu glanced at her and said to Ji Shuang, “This is a distant relative of mine. 1 brought her here to have fun today.”
Ji Shuang stared at Bai Xianyu’s face thoughtfully. “Distant relative…”
Bai Xianyu had just finished speaking.
A girl who had attended the Plum Blossom Banquet at the Eldest Princess’s residence that day stood up. “Distant relative? Didn’t she say that she was the Second Miss of the General’s residence? Xianyu, her father is your uncle, right?”
When large families prospered, they usually did not split up.
This was considered a very close relationship.
Bai Xianyu was waiting for someone to ask, “There has never been a Second Miss in the General’s Manor. She was the one who spouted nonsense that day. Her father and my father are not in the same family genealogy. It’s hard to say that we’re relatives.”
Bai Yu’er was still smiling, but when she heard Bai Xianyu’s words, her smile immediately stiffened.
However, she had already promised Bai Xianyu that she would no longer go out with the title as the Second Miss of the General’s family.
If she went against her wishes, it would be bad if Bai Xianyu left directly.
Hence, Bai Yu’er smiled and did not speak.
Seeing that Bai Yu’er did not refute, the man who had his eyes on her immediately put away his thoughts.
So she was a distant cousin. He had thought they were close.
It was probably useless to marry her.
Moreover, it seemed that the Bai Family’s young lady was very cold to her cousin. Could it be that they had some old grudge?
Bai Xianyu walked to the seat beside Ji Shuang and sat down. Bai Yu’er also followed her. “Farewell Concubine” was being performed on stage.
As she walked, she glanced over to the man’s side.
There was only a simple open space in the center, and the man’s side was also filled with people.
Bai Yu’er thought that it was not bad to be a concubine. She did not believe that she could not seduce someone.
The last time, Xie Xingyun sent someone to beat her up. The beating had frightened her, and she did not dare to go to the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor again, but other men…
However, after Bai Xianyu and Ji Shuang sat down, there were no more seats in the first row.
Some prying eyes landed on Bai Yu’er. She was a little nervous.
The maidservant walked over and asked Bai Xianyu for her opinion.

Bai Yu’er nodded happily, but Bai Xianyu said, “There’s no need. Aren’t there still seats behind?”
This row of seats was special.
The people sitting in the first row were all of noble status. The further back they went, the worse the background became. Bai Yu’er could not recognize the people here and did not know the rules, so she was brought to the last row by the maidservant.
Those who worked in these large mansions were more or less cunning. When they saw Miss Bai’s attitude, they more or less knew.
She was afraid that this person would pester her and she had no choice but to bring her here.
Therefore, she brought Bai Yu’er here and left.
Bai Xianyu and Ji Shuang chatted. After a while, Prince Kang came out. He was dressed in a brocade robe and looked proper, but his eyelids were dark and he looked a little weak.
“Shuang’er, aren’t you not interested in these things? Why are you here?”
Ji Shuang glanced at Prince Kang and said coldly, “The day before yesterday, Li Jing snatched a young lady from a snack stall and brought into the residence. I like the lotus crisps she sells.”
Bai Xianyu was already used to her fearless personality, so she was not surprised that she called Prince Kang by his name.
Ji Shuang continued, “That young lady had no one to rely on. After she was snatched into the residence, only her husband was left to mend their stall every day. The magistrate in the capital did not dare to take on this case and would always sidestep the issue.”
Bai Xianyu also frowned. “That’s too much.”
“So how are you going to take her away?”
At this moment, the performance was over. Prince Kang sat in the main seat with his eyes closed, looking like he was enjoying himself.
Ji Shuang asked, “Did you see that? The woman who poured the wine for him is that young lady.”
Bai Xianyu took a look. The young lady had just come out with Prince Kang. She was petite. Although she was not beautiful, her delicate temperament was quite attractive. However, her face was pale.
“I did.”
After she finished speaking, Ji Shuang stood up and walked straight towards Prince Kang. Bai Xianyu did not hesitate and stood up to follow her.
Prince Kang opened his eyes when he heard footsteps. Ji Shuang was already standing beside the young lady with her hand on her shoulder and a cold look in her eyes..
