The Miss had treated all their servants very well. In the entire Flowing Cloud Garden, there was no one who did not feel that being able to stay in the Flowing Cloud Garden was their good fortune.

Miss never treated people harshly. Not only were her monthly salary higher than other places, but every now and then, when she was in a good mood, she would reward them with fresh fruits or snacks.

If there were any people who tried to deceive others or bully others to get away from them, the young miss would not hold back. If she found out, she would immediately kick them out, so as long as she did good things, she would not have to worry about being bullied or humiliated.

Qingmei was very grateful as she hoped that Gu Hua Jing would be able to stay like this forever. She had heard from Senior Servant Tian that when Miss was at the Bai family, she naturally did not have any good feelings towards Bai Lingtian.

Suddenly, someone lifted Qingmei's chin and met Gu Hua Jing's clear eyes.

"Is little Qingmei worried about me?"

Qing Mei bit her lips and nodded.

Gu Hua Jing was in a great mood. She gave her a kiss on the cheek with a "Ba Ji" sound, "Hahahaha, I'm very happy to have little Qing Mei to worry about!"

Qing Mei was stupefied. She maintained her stiff look while Gu Hua Jing was beaming at her. She had a contented expression on her face, as if she was a lackey who had taken advantage of her.

"But don't worry, I don't plan on returning to the Bai Clan. I've said it before, even if Bai Lingtian kneels in front of me, I will not go back."

Gu Hua Jing hadn't forgotten how those people had treated her in the Bai Family!

To let an infatuated flower like lady die in despair on a couch, was this something that could be made up for by a change of heart on Bai Lingtian's part?

Furthermore, he was a vengeful person. In the face of those people, not one of them had been forgotten by Gu Hua Jing!

The Imperial Feast Hall was still the same White Angelica Hall.

Bai Lingtian sat inside for a while, but the tea cup in front of him was completely filled.

He didn't expect that he would be invited into Bai Zhi Hall this time and that he would be allowed to rest. He had already sent someone to inform Gu Hua Jing.

Did Gu Hua Jing want to see him?

Bai Lingtian was astonished. How could he not feel the estrangement that Gu Hua Jing had shown him? He was clearly an extremely arrogant person, but he came to the restaurant again and again to spend twice the amount of silver.

He kept on telling himself that he wanted to make it up because of the Bai Clan's actions, but when he heard that Gu Hua Jing wanted to see him, he couldn't help but feel joy from the bottom of his heart.

After sitting for a while longer, the bead curtain of Bai Zhi Hall was lifted up by someone outside. Bai Lingtian recognized this person: it was Gu Hua Jing's personal maid.

Soon after, Gu Hua Jing's figure slowly walked in.

"Sorry for making Master Bai wait so long."

No matter what time, Gu Hua Jing's appearance would always make people's eyes light up.

Bai Lingtian had originally thought that it was because of her beauty, but now he realized that it was due to the aura around her.

He was neither humble nor haughty, he was graceful and calm, and when he saw the smiling expression in others' eyes, he was dignified and generous. He also faintly showed a hint of indifference, politeness, and estrangement.

This kind of temperament was rarely seen in noble families and rarely was there anyone who would distance themselves from Bai Lingtian. However, Gu Hua Jing had done it, not only for him, but also that day at Shao Mansion, whether it was the handsome third prince or the valiant fourth prince, Gu Hua Jing had done the same thing.

It was as if he was above the others and possessed a calmness that seemed to be able to pull things out of the situation.

Gu Hua Jing sat down and after serving the tea, Qing Mei quietly left. Only Gu Hua Jing and Bai Ling Tian were left in Bai Zhi Hall.

"Master Bai has a great responsibility. It will take you a while. I am afraid. There are some things I don't understand. That's why I wanted to ask you about them."

Gu Hua Jing went straight to the point, not wanting to waste too much time, "Before I married into the Bai Family, what was Young Master's impression of me?"

"…" Bai Lingtian was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Gu Hua Jing to ask this question. He frowned as he listened to Gu Hua Jing continue.

"Young master, please speak freely. This little girl only wants to know the truth. Please tell me the truth."

"At that time …" Bai Lingtian spoke with some difficulty, "Miss will always cause the woman beside me to embarrass myself. It will be the same even if she has never spoken to me before …"

Gu Hua Jing listened quietly. Bai Lingtian did not want to talk about that, but looking at the serious expression on Gu Hua Jing's face, it was as if she was really telling him everything she wanted to tell him.

"..." At that time, there was something about young people being insensible, so Miss Gu doesn't need to care. "

"Oh, I don't care."

Gu Hua Jing's casual attitude caused the corner of Bai Lingtian's eyes to twitch. When he looked at her again, he saw a hint of disapproval in her eyes.

Gu Hua Jing really didn't think much of it, but he didn't know whether it was towards Gu Hua Jing or Bai Lingtian.

Why are you all so stupid?

"Those friends of Master Bai didn't think well of me. I wonder if Master Bai felt anything strange?"

Bai Lingtian's pupils constricted, "You mean …"

In any case, there are only the two of us, so I'll be frank with you. "Gu Hua Jing raised the corner of her mouth," I had a deep affection for you back then, so it's reasonable for me to grow up. The Gu family is also one of the most illustrious ones, and young master is not a paranoid person.

"Indeed, I'm a bit stupid. I'm jealous of the girl around you, but why do you always see through my flaws?" And among the things that you said just now, there were a few things that were overlooked, so you didn't suspect them at all? "

Bai Lingtian recalled that there were some things that he had not mentioned, and now that he thought about it, it was indeed not the case.

However, at that time, he was so confident that Gu Hua Jing's wild and unruly nature was unreasonable that he thought it was unnecessary to even look at her once. Why was that?

"Perhaps young master only has close friends who think for you, which is why you feel that this little girl is not worthy of young master."

There seemed to be a flash in his mind, and Bai Lingtian froze on the spot.

Why hadn't he suspected it? Because he firmly believed that the people around him were worth it for him to interact with with with with their lives! Their opinions were naturally more trustworthy than their friends', if not completely flawed.

At that time, Bai Lingtian was still in the prime of his youth, and his faintly rebellious nature and sincere persuasion from his friends had made him hate Gu Hua Jing from the bottom of his heart.

He had never thought about why, but could it be that all of this was deliberate?

As if she had seen through Bai Lingtian's thoughts, Gu Hua Jing understood.

Bai Lingtian must have had people urging him to mislead them, causing his impression of him to get worse and worse. Even if he became engaged, it was because of his disgust towards him that he was stationed in the capital.

From the looks of it, Bai Lingtian was even stupider than him. It was truly pitiful for him to fail to make friends.

"But …" "Why?"

He did not dare to believe that all of this was man-made. Someone was purposefully controlling his own preferences, deliberately blinding him, causing Gu Hua Jing to be humiliated and then separated from him.

Why was that?

"Why? "I am the most beloved daughter of the Gu family. How many people wish to marry the Gu family? Why should I let your Bai family get away with it?"

"I don't know what's good for me, to actually fall in love with the Bai Family. There are people who are unwilling, and since there's no way to stop me from marrying into them, then we can't have a harmonious relationship between the Gu Family and the Bai Family. It would be best if I died in the Bai Family, and the Gu Family and the Bai Family will naturally be irreconcilable, how simple is that?"

"But …"

"But what? Do you think I'm being unreasonable? Or do you think the people around you won't do this to you? "Bai Lingtian, are you too confident?"

Gu Hua Jing smiled and shook her head, "Don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to get justice for what happened in the past. I just want to know the truth. No matter what you did to me in the past, I don't care anymore."

Suddenly, Bai Ling Tian felt a flash of pain in his chest. It was as if his heart was being wrung, causing him to be unable to breathe.

"I didn't say that. It's just that when I decided to set up my defenses, it was my own idea. No one made the decision for me, so I …"

"So if you didn't ask for us to protect you, are there actually other options? For example, other jobs in the capital? "

"…" Bai Lingtian suddenly thought of something. Seems like … It really was possible. A chance to release it wouldn't be easy. Han Xi had said he would get Sir Han to fight for him …

Han Xizhi...

At that time, the two of them had talked about everything. To be more precise, it was Han Xi's style of speaking, and he would occasionally answer back.

His personality was lively and interesting, and he often told her about all those great young ladies in the past with a ridiculous identity. He had never made a positive comment about Gu Hua Jing, but he would always compare notes in his heart, and slowly, he naturally felt that everything about Gu Hua Jing was inappropriate.

Before deciding to defend, Han Xizhi had disappeared for a while. He was worried that Han Xizhi might be in danger, but he found out that he was practicing martial arts.

He said that it was a cousin of his who had lost his life on the border, and he felt the same way. With that said, he felt very dejected and said that his father might not allow him to go and stand guard. Then …

And then what? After that, it seemed as if Bai Lingtian was blessed, and he suddenly felt that this was a very good idea.

Guard! That woman did everything she could to marry him. Using such a despicable method, why did he want to do what she wanted?

After defending for three years or more, she wanted to have a taste of being tricked. This was a bitter fruit she had sowed; she was reaping what she sowed!

Bai Lingtian retracted his blank gaze and looked at Gu Hua Jing, quietly sitting across from him.

Why was she so different from what he remembered of her?

Who had caused him to misunderstand her so deeply, allowing him to see that rough and headstrong Gu Hua Jing?

"The young master's expression isn't too good, but what did he think of?"

Gu Hua Jing slowly put down her teacup, as if Bai Lingtian had thought of something.

"I do not wish to pursue the matter, but I do not want to understand. I cannot live a peaceful life either, so please forgive me, young master. Is there a suitable candidate in your heart?"

"I... "I'm not sure, but..."

Bai Lingtian was a bit hesitant, but Gu Hua Jing sighed, "Is it Young Master Han?"
