Legitimate Daughter Comes Back - C4
Xu Baiwei still remembered everything that had happened at the family dinner in her previous life, so when she found out that she had been reborn, she wasn’t surprised at all.
After all, in her previous life, it was Xu Zixuan and Qin Yi Long who had betrayed her. However, the nightmare had begun with that family banquet.
Thinking about what would happen later, Xu Baiwei could not help but sigh.
Xu Baiwei’s gaze swept across Xu Zixuan’s mother, Fan Meimian, and met her gaze. Fan Meixian raised an eyebrow at Xu Baiwei, a proud expression on her face.
This expression was slightly different from her usual behavior. If it wasn’t for Xu Baiwei’s second life, she probably wouldn’t have known what she was planning.
But now.
Xu Baiwei looked away, talking casually to her mother.
Not long after, Xu Siyuan brought a group of servants to the main hall and sat down at the main seat. He looked around at his wife and daughter, feeling gratified.
After which, his gaze landed on Xu Baiwei as a sense of nervousness exuded from him. “Wei`er, I heard that you fell into the water today. How are you feeling right now?”
“Reporting to father, it’s fine. Daughter is fine now.” Xu Baiwei answered.
“That’s good, that’s good.” Xu Siyuan let out a sigh of relief, but his expression immediately became stern again. He admonished Xu Baiwei, “Your identity is already unusual. You have to pay attention to your health or else if the Fifth Prince marries a sickly son, it won’t be good for your position!”
Xu Baiwei laughed coldly in her heart.
Her previous life had been cold and warm, allowing her to see through what kind of person her father was.
Perhaps from his point of view, his married daughter was like spilled water. Sooner or later, she would not be his daughter. Therefore, he had treated her well in the past. However, he was unable to give birth to a son, and she became the fiancée of the crown prince. It was worth it for him to make use of her.
That was why when he was framed and his reputation was ruined, he couldn’t become the Crown Prince’s consort, so he didn’t hesitate to abandon him. He turned the tables faster than anyone else present could.
Anger raged in Xu Baiwei’s heart, but her face remained expressionless. However, he respectfully lowered his eyes and agreed.
At this time, Xu Zixuan also smiled tenderly and said, “Father, don’t blame me. It is not my fault that I want to fall into the lake. I think my sister will learn from my mistakes and not be so playful. ”
Just as she finished speaking, Zhou Hui, who was sitting beside Xu Baiwei, frowned in dissatisfaction and glared at her, “What do you mean by this? Lust for fun? Could it be that you want to say that my Wei’er fell into the water is your own?! ”
“I, I didn’t mean that…” Xu Zixuan seemed to be in a panic, “I just want to speak up for my sister … I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. “It’s my fault…”
As she spoke, Xu Zixuan was on the verge of tears. Her wronged face looked like she had been bullied.
“Madam, isn’t this too much?” Beside him, Fan Meimian also spoke up, “Xuan’er is still young, why bother with the younger generation?”
Xu Baiwei stole a glance at her father’s expression, and saw that he was already at a loss over the quarrel between his wife and concubine.
She sighed in her heart. She knew that her father always hated this sort of dispute between women. Thus, she pulled on her mother’s sleeve, preventing her from saying what she wanted to say next.
“Forget it, mother. Don’t make father angry.” She whispered into Zhou Hui’s ear.
Zhou Hui’s anger had started to rise. Now that he heard Xu Baiwei’s reminder, he was shocked. Then, he completely understood and immediately shut his mouth.
Her reaction surprised both Fan Meishan and Xu Zixuan, who wanted to climb the ladder to safety. However, since Zhou Hui refused to take the bait, there was nothing they could do.
Fortunately, after such a commotion, Xu Siyuan’s attention was focused on Xu Baiwei the moment he entered the door. He finally split his attention among them, giving some of it to Xu Zixuan.
“What happened to Xuan’er’s foot?” Xu Siyuan asked in bewilderment.
When Xu Zixuan heard this, she immediately cast a glance in Xu Baiwei’s direction. As if she was frightened, she did not reply.
When Xu Siyuan saw her expression, he naturally looked at his eldest daughter and asked, “Wei’er, what’s going on?”
“No, it’s none of elder sister’s business!” However, before Xu Baiwei could say anything, Xu Zixuan cried out in panic, “Actually, it’s me …”
“Today, when I fell into the water, little sister came to visit me. Perhaps in the end, little sister’s body was even weaker than a drowning person like me, so she directly fell on top of me … “I was too weak to support her, so I accidentally sprained my sister’s ankle …”
Before Xu Zixuan could finish her words, Xu Baiwei calmly opened her mouth as if she didn’t hear her at all.
After finishing her piece in one breath, she smiled at Xu Zixuan, “This matter is indeed my fault. When my sister said that her injuries were fine, I believed her. After all, I didn’t expect that my sister would be able to walk back to her own courtyard. As a result, she was so injured that she couldn’t even move …”
“How can it be your fault?” Sure enough, after hearing Xu Baiwei’s words, Xu Siyuan did not care about Xu Zixuan at all. Instead, he turned around and scolded Xu Zixuan, “How many times have I told you!? He had to be humble despite being young! How can you interrupt when I’m talking to your sister! ”
“I …” Xu Zixuan opened and closed her mouth, but when she saw the discontent in Xu Siyuan’s eyes, she could only close her mouth in grievance.
She had originally wanted to use her injuries to exchange for her father’s sympathy and slandering of Xu Baiwei, but now, she was the one who had suffered the most severe injuries.
This made Xu Zixuan grit her teeth, her heart filled with unwillingness.
