Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

The maid took Bai Wanwan inside. When they passed through the hanging flower gate, Bai Wanwan was so shocked by the scene before her that her mouth opened wide.

The vermilion columns connect to the nine-curve corridor, and the gold paint on the carved beams and painted buildings is so dazzling in the sunlight that it is impossible to open your eyes.

The white marble bridge is curved into a crescent shape, with cute stone lions squatting on the bridge railings, and the pond is full of koi of all kinds.

Finally, at the end of a bamboo forest, the maid pushed open the carved wooden door.

The palm-sized courtyard actually hides a world of its own, with the blue bricks paved on the ground forming a copper coin pattern.

The window frames of the main room were covered with translucent silk gauze, through which the gold-painted screen inside the room could be vaguely seen.

The parrot hanging in the corridor suddenly flapped its wings and shrilly imitated: "The distinguished guest has arrived... The distinguished guest has arrived..."

The maid bowed and said in a voice as sweet as honey:

"Miss Bai, this will be your residence from now on.

Clothes, jewelry, and toiletries will be delivered shortly. If there is anything missing, please let me know."

Bai Wanwan nodded and watched the maid disappear outside the moon cave door.

"Nonsense!" Madam Bai gently grasped her wrist and said:

"How dare you agree to live here?

Princess Duanmin has always disliked us. This courtyard looks exquisite, but who knows how many hidden arrows it may be hiding!

If you go back with grandma now, I don’t believe that your grandpa can’t protect you.”

Bai Wanwan chuckled and said, "Grandma, what are you afraid of? I'm not afraid of anything, not to mention I'm not afraid of poison."

Mrs. Bai's eyes were red:

"These heartless people, don't they have granddaughters themselves?

If you don't have a granddaughter, just go ahead and give birth! Why are you trying to snatch my granddaughter from me?"

Bai Qiaoniang felt very bad: "Wanwan is only two years old. Who will be here to take care of her when she grows up? What if she gets hungry?"

Taoyao and Zhiwei looked at each other, and Bai Wanwan pointed at them and said:

“Taoyao and Zhiwei will take care of me, grandma, don’t worry.

Mom, I won’t go hungry. I promise I won’t let myself go hungry.”

Madam Bai curled her lips and said, "You little girl, you are really fearless. That little bully is very difficult to deal with."

Bai Wanwan raised an eyebrow and said, "It's okay. I also want to see what that little bully wants to do."

Mrs. Bai frowned and looked around the room, becoming increasingly dissatisfied.

"This bed is so hard, it's nowhere near as soft as the one at home. I don't know how many people have used this quilt, and it has a weird smell.

And these clothes, I don’t know if they fit me, they might just be someone else’s leftovers.”

As she spoke, she looked at the furnishings in the room. The vase was old-fashioned and the dressing table was not delicate enough. No matter how she looked at it, she didn't like it.

When she walked into the yard, she even picked thorns out of the flowers and plants:

"These flowers are planted crookedly, how can they compare to the peonies in our backyard?

The grass is unkempt and untended.”

Bai Wanwan held her forehead helplessly: "Grandma, I'll only stay for a few days, don't worry about me."

"How can I not worry!" Mrs. Bai stamped her feet anxiously:

“You’ve been particular about your life since you were little, how can you get used to living in such a shabby place?

When I return, I will bring you the softest silk quilt, two boxes of new clothes, and your favorite dressing table."

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became:

"These two girls are so impulsive, I'll find a few more quick-witted ones.

Find someone who knows Kung Fu to protect you, and bring a cook so that you don't have to eat poorly here!"

Bai Wanwan was helpless. Madam Bai left after she finished speaking. Shen Mingyue was standing with her hands on her hips, a smug smile on her face.

“I told you before, my brother is capable!

You said you wanted to get that girl to be your personal slave, isn't that it?

"How can a two-year-old kid really cause such a commotion?"

Someone nearby started to make a noise:

"That's right! That girl looks sharp-tongued and really annoying.

I don’t know how the little bully will deal with her in the future, it will definitely be a good show to watch!”

The others laughed and started to make up their stories one after another.

Suddenly a shrill voice shouted in a sinister tone:

"Oh, look who this is! Madam Bai, Miss Bai, you are so lucky!

The girls from other families stay at home, but yours was sent directly to the princess's mansion to be a maid!"

A woman wearing jadeite armor pinched her handkerchief to her lips and sneered:

"Isn't it? In the future, I might just become the prince's maidservant, or even be carried off to the side courtyard someday..."

Tsk tsk, this blessing is beyond the reach of others even if they ask for it!"

Bai Qiaoniang turned around suddenly, looked at her and said:

"If you are so greedy, why don't you send your own granddaughter here?

My Wanwan grew up as a precious child, if it weren't for the greater good, why would we send her here?"

Shen Mingyue sneered, "What? Do you still dare to despise the Princess's Mansion?"

Bai Qiaoniang said coldly:

"I dare not, how can I say anything? What is the Princess's Mansion?

How dare we common people go against the princess' wishes?"

As he was speaking, Huo Jun strode over, his brows knitted into a knot: "What's going on?"

Bai Qiaoniang glanced at him and said, "The princess went to the palace to ask for permission to keep Wanwan as a study companion."

Huo Jun sneered and said, "I never thought that the princess's mansion would need a two-year-old child as a tutor..."

Shen Mingyue looked at Huo Jun and said:

"General Huo is quite nice to Bai Wanwan, but it's a pity that Bai Wanwan is not your biological daughter.

He's just a country boy's child, and you're really spoiling him! Don't you feel like you've been taken advantage of?"

Someone pouted and said, "No wonder! It turns out Bai Wanwan is not General Huo's biological daughter, she is just a burden."

The other one shook his head and said, "That's right! How can a stepfather truly love his child?

Maybe all the good things he does on a daily basis are just an act, just to have a good reputation."

Someone else laughed sarcastically, "Now that the Princess's Mansion wants to keep someone, he must be eager to get rid of this burden!"

Another noblewoman, clutching a red coral bracelet, sneered, "Who knows what kind of seductive tricks he used. A good young lady would be forced to become someone's tutor. If that gets out, it'll look like she's trying to climb the social ladder."

A burst of suppressed laughter erupted from the crowd. "I heard the rules in the Princess's Mansion are extremely strict. I wonder how long this delicate Miss Bai can survive in there?"

Huo Jun said with a dark face: "Shut up! Bai Wanwan is my biological daughter. If anyone dares to make up stories about her behind her back, don't blame me for being rude!"

When the noble ladies saw General Huo's dark face and the look of anger on his face, they were so scared that they quickly shut their mouths and dared not even breathe.

Bai Qiaoniang looked at General Huo and said, "I'm going home first to pack some clothes for Wanwan. Since she's going to live in the princess's mansion, she has to be comfortable."

General Huo reached out and helped her up, saying, "I'll take you back."

After saying this, he supported Bai Qiaoniang and Mrs. Bai, and the three of them slowly walked out of the mansion.

Shen Mingyue gnashed her teeth in anger. She gritted her teeth and said, "She's just a rough, uncouth woman from the countryside. How could he defend her so much when she's so unpresentable?"
