Seeing Bai Yan being taciturn, he thought she was sad due to the recent matters.

Hearing that Bai Xiao was hesitantly speaking, Bai Yan nearly broke into laughter, “Everyone said that I had betrayed the Second Prince. Why do you think that the Second Prince had suffered loss?”

“I trust older sister, older sister wouldn't betray him and you must have been framed.” His young face looked firm, with a vicious tone,”If I find out who that person is, I will not let her off!”

Bai Yan's heart trembled, an inexplicable feeling forming in her heart.

In her past life, she was the descendant of Hua Xia ancient martial arts, since childhood she had been instilled with the concept to become strong! In order to be strong, she had people rebelling and friends deserting (isolated herself). In the end, no one rescued her when a failure occurred while she was refining the nine major compound drug. Her body had perished while her soul had extinguished.

With great difficulty, she was able to live once again. She wouldn't be the same as in the past, ignoring the people around her and only practicing to be strong.

“Oh, by the way…”, the young man then took out a purse from his chest pocket and placed it in her hands. "You are now pregnant, your body needs supplementary nourishment. These silver are for you.”

Bai Yan pinched the purse in her hand, her heart was aching, “Where did you get these silver from?”

“I… I had p.a.w.n off the jade pendant which mother gave me when she was still alive…”

Bai Yan could feel her heart being tightly clenched.

Don't be fooled by their outer appearance. In reality, the Bai family would frequently deduct their monthly allowance, even Lan Yue's dowry had been in the hands of Yu Rong.

Unfortunately, these two siblings are also quite unyielding. They knew that their mother had disappointed their maternal grandfather, no matter how much suffering and weary they were, they wouldn't seek for the Lan family' help.

The Lan family had become overconfident, they believed that the Bai family wouldn't maltreat the two siblings. Besides, their mother's dowry alone is enough for them to spend and live luxuriously throughout their life.

In fact the two daughters of Yu Rong were dripping with gold and silver (richly adorned), eating exotic delicacies, but for the Bai Yan two siblings, their food were never enough to satiate their hunger.

The laughable thing is, that Bai ZhenXiang doesn't do any business and Yu Rong is being wasteful. What the Bai family had been using all these time is entirely Lan Yue's dowry.

As for Bai Xiao's jade pendant, it is the only goods that was left by Lan Yue, which is also the only memento that he had kept for many years.

If he hadn't deeply concealed it, feared that Yu Rong would have taken it away long ago.

While all kinds of thoughts were running in Bai Yan's mind, a maidservant had disregarded her and entered without permission, thus interrupted the sibling's interaction.

“Eldest miss, Madam had invited you to come over.”

“Older sister.”

Bai Xiao hastily held her hand, his eyes filled with worry.

“Rest a.s.sured, I will be fine.” Bai Yan comfortingly patted Bai Xiao’s hand, giving him a meaningful glance, only then did she walk through the door.

The instance the young lady radiated a majestic imposing air, her alluring red dress were spread out, while her eyes were ice-cold. Following her with each step of the way, the maidservant felt difficulty in breathing and her throat seemed to have been clutched, making her unable to breath.

“Don't forget, you are merely a servant. Even if I'm not in favor, I'm still the master of the Bai Residence. You didn't ask for my permission to enter, disrespecting me, I am thus qualified to have you beaten to death!"

The maidservant's face was ashen. She had signed the slavery contract, therefore even if the master wanted to kill her, she would have no choice but to die.

Previously, due to Bai Yan being too timid, she had become a bit forgetful.

“Lead the way.” The young lady’s tone was cold and detached, making her unquestionable.

“Yes, Eldest Miss.”

The maidservant no longer dared to act in contempt in the presence of the young lady, even if she have a bad reputation, she still have more than enough authority to question a servant.

Bai Xiao blankly stared at the young lady's retreating figure. He could feel that within these past few months, his eldest sister seemed to have changed…

Becoming strong and reliable, which helped setting his mind at ease.
