Chapter 78

78 Then benwang is allowed to do this to you as well Part I

The next day, news of Miss Bai Yu fighting with a foreign guniang over Master Xu was spread throughout the capital.

Bai Yu burst out laughing, her voice shook the building while Xiao Xi made a face like she wanted to cry. Xiao Chang could only squeeze her hand to comfort her, thinking that she would have to write a letter to the Bai family before the first Furen fainted from shock.

Not long after, Bai Yu had a guest who came in with a force akin to a whirlwind. Her more-than-ample chest heaved up and down, caused by both anger and her rushing to come here.

“Bai Yu!” Xu Peipei pointed at her. “What trick did you use to seduce my brother?!”

Bai Yu laughed even harder. If I said ‘eyeliner’, will you be able to understand, miss top-heavy?

“Pei-er, what are you making a fuss for? Don’t you want ailaine anymore?” Xu Luanle who was following behind her spoke with a tender voice. Today he was wearing a simple attire, sewn with mediocre needlework, the same way as his sister who wore only a middle-class satin dress. Though her bosom was as outstanding as ever.

“If it’s not because of that ailaine, I won’t be coming here at all!” Xu Peipei was frustrated that she had to come all the way to the Yue family mansion to meet Bai Yu. But when her brother described the ability of the eyeliner to her, she had to come here for beauty.

“I don’t recall that we have an appointment today. And I haven’t sent any invitation to Miss Xu.” Knowing that Xu Peipei came here solely for eyeliner, Bai Yu who suddenly had guests could not help but pick a fight with her.

“Come on, sis. Don’t be too harsh now. Since you’re my friend, my Pei-er is also your meimei.” Bai Yu now realized that Xu Luanle was the kind of person that did not care about anything apart from his own interest. Obviously, the fact that she and Xu Peipei were not on good terms did not register in his line of thought at all. Even worse, he could pour tea for himself nonchalantly as if he could not see his sister’s sulking.

.....

“I don’t want to be your sister!” Xu Peipei took the teacup from her brother and drank. This rude and self-centered behavior could only be used on her brother alone.

“You mean you want me to accept her into our clique?” Bai Yu arched an eyebrow as she asked.

“What’s ‘clique’?” Xu Luanle let his sister have his tea as he turned to Bai Yu, excited to learn more new words from her.

“It means people who’re in the same group.” Bai Yu chose the closest definition to explain to him. Now that she was feeling comfortable around people around her age, she discovered that she unconsciously used words from her former world quite a lot.

“If you say so, then yes.” Xu Luanle ignored his sister who choked on tea at his answer.

“Then I’ll call her ‘little sis’.” Bai Yu internally laughed at the words of address among themselves.

“Deal.”

“You know what ‘Deal’ means?” Bai Yu had been wondering since yesterday.

“I don’t. But I think I pretty much understand it.” Xu Luanle handed a pink handkerchief to his sister.

“Actually, ‘Deal’ means accepting a proposition,” She explained while watching Xu Peipei delicately wipe the mound of her chest that was stained by tea.

“Ok then.”

“Huh?”

“What? You don’t know what ‘Ok’ means?”

Bai Yu extracted her gaze from the younger Xu to the older one. It was very strange for Xu Luanle to know the word ‘Ok’. She did not know if the English language existed in this world or not. Or...Xu Luanle also transmigrated from the same world as her?!

“It’s a language of Laowai people. I often heard Laowai merchants use this word when I negotiated to buy foreign fabrics from them.” Xu Luanle poured tea and drank it without concerning the frowned Bai Yu.

In her former life, Bai Yu had heard that Chinese people called caucasian foreigners ‘Laowai’. However, she never knew that it was the same way in this world as well since the word did not appear in the series. Still, it was also not too strange, since, in the script, Bai Yu never traveled anywhere further than the imperial palace.

“This place has foreign merchants that use this language?” She repeated her question to confirm that there were truly people that spoke English.

“They are at Donghai. It’s the only city in Da Yang that borders the sea, situated on the east of the capital, around four days away on foot. It was the city of the merchant so there are a lot of foreign traders. Many of them are Laowai people. What? Did you hold yourself in your room so much that you don’t know a thing about geography anymore?”

Bai Yu smoothed her expression to calmness again. She looked at Xu Peipei who had finished wiping tea stains and was the one who answered her.

“And what do these Laowai people look like?” Though she was mocked by Xu Peipei, she had to admit that she truly did not know anything. And so instead of getting angry, Bai Yu decided to gather more information. If Caucasians did exist in this world, then she would have to be more careful, in case of unexpected events. In the history of the world in her former life, these people are colonizers, and if they in this world had the same nature, then it would be hard for her to continue living a comfortable life like this.

“Most of them are tall. Some have light color hair, some have black hair like us. Some even look a lot like Da Yang people. What differentiates them of us and our neighboring nations is their strange language.” Xu Luanle described.

“Laowai people always have curious things to sell. Brother often buys them for me as souvenirs,” Xu Peipei added. She held up her hand, showing two rings connected by a thin chain on her fingers.

Bai Yu wanted to tell her that it was nothing special but felt it was too much of a bother, so she kept silent and let Xu Peipei continue to gloat.

“Today Pei-er and I will travel to Donghai. Actually, I bought my fan from there too. Do you want to come with us?”

“I want to, but...” She still had to practice sword fighting. Right now, she had free time in the morning because her grandfather was held back by an important mission and had to remain at the palace, but her afternoon schedule with Yue Huiling was not canceled. She needed at least seven days for a round trip to Dong Hai. She could abandon her training that way.

“If you’re thinking about your training, we already asked for permission from the elder Furen.”

Bai Yu stared at the Xu siblings.

Did Xu Peipei know that she was used by her brother to ease the elder Furen’s worry? It would sound much better than Bai Yu was traveling with Miss Xu instead of ‘going on a trip alone with Master Xu’.

“How did you know what I’m doing?” Bai Yu stared at her friend.

“Yesterday you attack that guniang’s pressure points.” Xu Luanle shrugged.

“You’re several steps behind me, Miss Bai.” Xu Peipei showed a victorious smile.

“What do you mean?” Bai Yu narrowed her eyes at the two.

“Pei-er and I both practice martial arts. Though Pei-er was a little too lazy, she could get by,” Xu Luanle nonchalantly answered.

Impossible! This top-heavy woman had something remarkable that’s not her chest?

This newfound knowledge meant that the current fate was different from what she had known!
