Changning City, the residence of the Baili family.

Baili's family is a third-rate family in Changning City, and the resources are not very good, so the station has moved from the center of the city to the edge, and soon it has moved to remote places, even close to the slums.

Hou Yuanying took the crown to the residence of the Baili family, which was a small street in the marginal city, and the Baili family didn't even have a decent gate.

Hou Yuanying walked on this street with some disgust, the smell and pedestrians here made her a little disgusted, but she still had a faint smile on her face, and she looked very self-contained.

Not even a gatekeeper, she pushed the door in, the place was not big, even smaller than her garden. At this moment, someone walked over, a young man dressed in brown.

This young man's name is Baili Mingjian, and he is a young master of the side branch of the Baili family, although he is a young master, but because the family is not strong, he also needs to do things, no, he just came back from talking about business.

He changed into a change of clothes and was about to go out to eat, but he met Hou Yuanying who pushed the door in.

His eyes lit up, when did such a beautiful woman come to the Baili family. He was a little glad that he had just changed into a clean set of clothes, he tidied up his appearance, and then said, "Hello girl, are you here to find someone?"

Hou Yuanying saw Baili Mingjian, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and then said, "Is Baili Lingyue there?"

Baili Mingjian heard her words, and said in his heart, it turned out to be a friend of the eldest lady, no wonder he was so beautiful and fragrant, and his temperament was transcendent. Hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes! The eldest lady is in the inner courtyard, but I am only from the outer gate." Therefore, I can't enter the inner courtyard, so I can only take you to the door, girl. ”

casually, Hou Yuanying followed him into the inner courtyard, but this inner courtyard was very different from the outer courtyard. The inner courtyard is the real family situation, those precious stone paths, bonsai all show the luxury of the owner's family, and the interior layout of the general big family is just like that, right?

This inner courtyard is guarded, and when he saw Baili Mingjian coming with people, the person at the head made a stop gesture with one hand, and then said: "Baili Mingjian, this is the inner courtyard, you can't enter with a side branch!"

"I'm not going in!This girl is here to find the eldest lady, I'm bringing her here!" Baili Mingjian gave up his position and said.

The person who guarded, after seeing Hou Yuanying's temperament and appearance, did not dare to be careless, the one who could have such a temperament must be the daughter of a certain family in Changning City, and it may be that the eldest lady of the Baili family who is like a demon. When he thought of his eldest lady, he couldn't help but feel a chill rise in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I don't know, what is the name of the girl, can I make an appointment to see our eldest lady?"

Hou Yuanying's brows furrowed slightly, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then said: "Joke! I, Hou Yuanying, still need to make an appointment when I see her Baili Lingyue?"

"This ...... Our eldest lady hasn't been in a good mood lately, so if you don't have an appointment, please come back!" the guard said awkwardly.

"Are you sure you won't let Miss Ben in?" Hou Yuanying asked as she looked at him indifferently again.

The guard's mood was a little apprehensive, he saw that Hou Yuanying's words and attitude were all the momentum of the big family, and said with some embarrassment: "In this case, you wait a while, the villain will go and ask the eldest lady for instructions, and you will ...... again."

"Miss Ben doesn't have the habit of waiting for someone!Zongguan, what are you still doing in a daze!" Hou Yuanying strode forward, and Zongguan's imperial spirit was a sword to protect her.

"Ming... Master of the Ming Heart Period!" The guards saw Zong Guan's aura sword, their eyes widened, and their faces were shocked, the strongest one in the entire Baili family was only worthy of reaching the fugue stage, even if the entire family was all on it, they couldn't beat anyone else!

So no one dared to stop him anymore, and obediently took Hou Yuanying to see Baili Lingyue.

Baili Lingyue was in her room at this time, eating beautifully, with a comfortable expression, and the maids behind her didn't dare to squeak. Suddenly, the door of her room was opened, and all her good mood was shattered.

"Get out!" Baili Lingyue made a straight face, and with a flick of his hand, a stream of spiritual power attacked the person who entered the door, and the person who entered the door was attacked by her spiritual power, but he couldn't dodge it, and was slammed out of the door.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for a year, Miss Baili, this temper has grown a lot!" Hou Yuanying, who was outside the door, walked in slowly and said with a smile.

Baili Lingyue was a little upset when she heard this sarcastic tone just now, but when she looked up and saw that the person who came in was Hou Yuanying. His face changed instantly.

She hurriedly got up, then knelt in front of Hou Yuanying, and said tremblingly: "I've seen Miss Hou......"

"Well, that's good. I actually know Miss Ben. Hou Yuanying nodded, and then motioned for her to get up.

Baili Lingyue got up, stood aside respectfully, and urged the maid to wipe the seat clean again, and then sat Hou Yuanying down in person, and asked with some apprehension: "Miss Hou, why did you deign to come to our Baili house today?"

"I remember, when I participated in the Pavilion Meeting a year ago, there was a young lady named Baili Lingju in your Baili family, right?" asked Hou Yuanying.

"Oh, you mean that, what, this she offended Miss Hou?" replied Baili Lingyue, a look of disgust in her eyes.

Hou Yuanying said lightly: "It seems that you are still the same as before, and you don't like your sister very much!"

Baili Lingyue was noncommittal, but just responded: "You came to find her? I'll bring her over immediately." ”

Seeing that Hou Yuanying nodded slightly, Baili Lingyue hurriedly asked her maid to call Baili Lingju over.

At this time, there was a small dilapidated house in a small remote courtyard of Baili's house, and there was a towering tree in the yard, and there were a few crooked fruits on the tree. Squatting under the tree was a woman in patched clothes, holding a tattered fan with a medicine cup in front of her, and she carefully fanned the fire to keep it warm.

The door to the hut opened from the inside, and a man dressed in the same patches walked out of the room, trembling.

When the attentive girl saw the man come out, she turned around and called sweetly: "Dad, you're awake!"

"Ahem......" The man covered his mouth with his sleeve and coughed twice, and then said: "Lingju, don't bother anymore, Dad's disease is an old problem, it can't get better!"

The girl said, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about! This time, this Zhuyuan Grass that I bought at the Xunyang Pharmacy in Changning City will definitely be able to cure your illness!"

After finishing speaking, he continued to pay attention to the fire, and the man was helpless, so he found a chair and sat down. He has been sick for more than ten years, and there has been no cure, and since his daughter was sensible, she has been looking through various medical techniques and looking for various medicinal materials, in the hope of curing him. However, there is still no improvement, and he himself has given up, but this daughter is still relenting.

When she was almost done, she wrapped the pot in a damp cloth and poured the liquid into the bowl, and a strong smell of herbs filled the courtyard.

"Dad, the medicine is cured!" she broke the edge of the bowl so as not to burn her hands, and slowly walked over to the man, gently blowing the hot air from the bowl.

"Hmm~ what a smell!" At this time, the courtyard door was pushed open, and a woman in a blue maid's costume fanned her nose, and walked in with a look of disgust on her face.

"Kaoru-chan?" said the girl, setting the bowl in her hand on the table next to her, a little surprised.

"Sixth Miss, the eldest lady asked you to come and see her!" the maid Xiaoxun did not continue to walk in, but said at the gate of the courtyard. Although she called Baili Lingju Miss Six, she was not respectful at all. Everyone knows that the sixth lady of the Baili family, Baili Lingju, is not even as good as a maid in the Baili family.

Baili Lingju had to do the same thing as the maid every day, and he didn't get any cultivation resources from the family. Moreover, whatever she does, the Baili family will not give her a little silver as wages. The maid and the servant still have three taels of silver every month!

So after she usually finished her own work, she went outside the city to get some herbs and sell them to the city doctor, in exchange for the money she and her father lived in.

As for why she was treated like this by a descendant of a family, it was said that it was because her father had done something wrong and was punished by the family.

"Ah, does my sister want to see me?" Baili Lingju's eyes blinked, and he looked curious. In her impression, her eldest sister has never had a good face for herself, and she often bullies herself.

I still remember that when she was three years old, her mother bought her a crystal bracelet, which was very beautiful, but she was taken by Baili Lingyue and wanted to snatch it.

She naturally refused, so the two grabbed it, and the crystal bracelet was torn apart, and her strength was slightly greater than Baili Lingyue, and Baili Lingyue was also pushed to the ground by her in the scramble.

Later, Baili Lingyue also sued the wicked first.

My mother also lost her life because of this incident in order to protect her.

Therefore, hatred planted a seed in her heart, don't look at her harmless, innocent, soft and weak appearance all day long, but there is a demon living in her heart.

"Go quickly, change into clean clothes! The eldest lady will not like to see you dressed like this!" said the maid Kaoru again.

"Okay! I'll get over here!" she replied with a smile, and Kaoru turned away after receiving her answer, not wanting to stay any longer.

At the moment when Xiao Xun turned around, the smile on the corner of Baili Lingju's mouth instantly retracted, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes.

"What is she looking for you to do at this time?" asked Baili Lingyue's father, Baili Luoshan, picked up the bowl on the table again, and drank the medicine in one gulp.

"I don't know! Maybe she's bored. So I'm going to bully my 'sister' who is easy to bully!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Baili Lingju's mouth, and the word "sister" bit hard.
