Gu Qianying listened from the side, feeling increasingly distressed, her heart filled with resentment for this person, feeling it was not worth it.
Bai Tianguo finally finished speaking.
She raised her bloodshot eyes, smiled bitterly, and continuously belittled herself, "Someone like me, should I not be alive?"
Gu Qianying's expression was anxious, and she said in a flustered manner.
"No, why can't you live? You should be living happily, living joyfully, and let those people see clearly, you are the eldest daughter of the Bai family, Bai Hong's daughter."
"You are a member of the Shengyu family, carrying the bloodline of the Shengyu family, how dare they look down on you."
Bai Tianguo's gaze suddenly froze.
Since her incident, everyone had always told her to restrain her temper, saying that if she were to act recklessly in her current state, no one would want her.
But only today.
This woman she had known for less than three days.
Told her.
She should be living happily, she was qualified and capable, and no one could stop her.
No one at all.
Gu Qianying felt sorry for her and said with a hint of melancholy, "Miss, please do not underestimate yourself. If you have any unhappiness in the future, you can tell me. Others cannot bully you, and you cannot bully yourself, do you understand?"
Gu Qianying reached out, her fingertips slowly wiping away the tears from Bai Tianguo's eyes.
She covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Look at you, you're crying like a big monkey now, your face is all tear-stained."
Bai Tianguo burst into laughter and lightly swatted at Gu Qianying, saying shyly.
"Not at all."
Gu Qianying placed her hand under her chin and said calmly.
"May I ask, Miss, is your mood better now?"
Bai Tianguo bit her lip, then let out a laugh, gently hugged Gu Qianying, and said with emotion.
"Thank you, I am very grateful that you came to my side."
Gu Qianying smiled back, her eyes narrowing slightly, "I think so too. I didn't expect there to be such an approachable eldest daughter in the Bai family."
After this day's conversation, their relationship became even closer, and they became good sisters, talking about everything.
Bai Tianguo's physical condition also improved significantly as a result.
Seeing the changes in his daughter, Bai Hong's stern face softened slightly.
However, this peaceful period was ultimately brief.
A few days later, Bai Hong's second daughter, Bai Caiyun, returned home.
Bai Caiyun was petite with delicate features, a pretty girl.
Pleasing to the eye, but not stunning.
However, she was adorned in bright colors, piling on ornaments as she pleased, like a peacock displaying its plumage, a rather incongruous sight.
On her way home.
She had heard about Gu Qianying.
It was said that she was a rare female physician in this area who could cure her sister, so as soon as she returned to the mansion, she was eager to seek out Gu Qianying.
Coincidentally, while on her way, she was called back by Bai Hong to have a meal.
The couple had not seen their daughter for a long time and missed her dearly, unwilling to let her leave.
Bai Caiyun had always been obedient at home.
So when her parents made a request, she did not refuse and followed them back to the main hall.
During the meal.
The family of three was all smiles, filled with joy.
"Good, good, good, it's so rare for you to be back, you're not allowed to leave again."
Bai Caiyun nodded obediently, but she was too curious about Gu Qianying, so she quietly asked, "Father, Mother, I heard that the female physician in the family can cure my sister's illness, is that true?"
In response to Bai Caiyun's question.
The elders did not hide anything, as Bai Tianguo's condition had indeed improved considerably.
They said.
"This woman is quite remarkable. She was unknown in this area before, but somehow she suddenly became close to Bai Yufeng, associating intimately with him, and possessing such excellent medical skills, it is truly admirable."
Bai Caiyun was initially curious and listening with great interest.
However, upon hearing the latter part, her expression grew increasingly grim. She controlled her trembling body and stood up through gritted teeth.
"How is that possible?"
Bai Hong looked at the unusual reaction with a hint of confusion. "What's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?"
Bai Caiyun's body trembled, and her smile was more unsightly than a cry. She tried to suppress her emotions and asked with a choked voice.
"What is the relationship between that person and Bai Yufeng?"
Bai Hong's expression darkened slightly, and he merely drew his arm back.
"This woman has been by Bai Yufeng's side since she appeared, and their relationship is quite close. Many people in the household know this, what's wrong?"
He had always stayed out of his children's affairs, so he never knew that Bai Caiyun was deeply in love with Bai Yufeng.
Bai Caiyun had first met Bai Yufeng in her youth.
She was deeply attracted to his handsome face and his ruthless methods.
Over the years, she had been trying to find ways to get close to Bai Yufeng, hoping to marry him and grow old together.
To her surprise, after being away for only a short period.
Upon her return, she received this earth-shattering news. How could she tolerate it?
Bai Caiyun could not express herself and could only bow to her father through gritted teeth.
"I apologize, Father. I am tired from the journey, and I feel exhausted. I must return to rest, please do not blame me."
Bai Hong looked concerned. "Are you really alright?"
Bai Caiyun took a deep breath and let out a cold laugh. "Please rest assured, Father, I am truly fine."
After saying this, she quickly turned and left the main hall.
Bai Hong and his wife exchanged glances, both bewildered.
"What's wrong with this girl?"
Madam Bai chuckled. "She's probably just throwing a tantrum again. You know how this child is."
Bai Hong scratched his head. "Yes, yes."
Back in her room, Bai Caiyun could not calm her emotions.
She suddenly grabbed a nearby pillow and shouted sharply.
"Why? Why is it like this?"
The maidservant trembled, and to avoid suffering herself, she immediately suggested viciously to Bai Caiyun.
"Miss, this person is the second miss of our family. Dealing with someone of humble status should be easy."
Bai Caiyun's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes! This woman is within my grasp."
Not long after, Gu Qianying was resting at home when her door was suddenly kicked open.
Her eyes snapped open, and she quickly jumped out of bed, grabbing her outer garment and wrapping it around herself. She cautiously called out towards the outside.
"Who is it? How dare you be so bold."
Bai Caiyun walked in from outside without any hesitation, glaring at Gu Qianying with cold anger.
"Miss, I am the second daughter of this household. Why did you not come to greet me when I returned today?"
Gu Qianying's eyes were dark.
So the arrogant person before her was the second daughter of the Bai family.
She had originally heard.
That the second daughter of the Bai family was gentle and easy to get along with.
But judging by the situation today, there seemed to be some exaggeration, which was quite surprising.
