"If I recall correctly, she should be a physician from the Baili family."
Song Wuji looked at his younger brother, understanding immediately. If he wasn't mistaken, his brother was interested in that woman.
Indeed, this woman was very beautiful, said to have good character, and possessed excellent medical skills. If his brother insisted on marrying this woman, it wouldn't be entirely unacceptable.
"Eldest Brother, can I discuss something with you?"
Song Panyang looked at his elder brother, having made up his mind. If possible, he planned to visit the sister residing with the Baili family on behalf of their family.
"Just say what you need to. If it's not too much, I'll agree to it,"
Song Wuji said calmly, looking at his younger brother.
"Can I be the one to visit our sister at the Baili family's? You don't need to go."
Song Panyang looked at his brother with anticipation, hoping for his agreement.
He was truly interested in that woman and really wanted to have a good talk with her.
"Alright."
Song Wuji was exceptionally intelligent. He naturally knew that his brother's visit to the Baili family to see their sister was just an excuse. If he wasn't mistaken, his brother was likely thinking of Gu Qianying. However, he didn't expose it.
Because he knew how proud Gu Qianying was, and he wasn't sure if his brother would succeed.
"Thank you, Eldest Brother."
Song Panyang was very happy when his elder brother agreed. He thought he would see that woman again soon.
"We are brothers, there's no need for such politeness,"
Song Wuji said calmly. It was best to return soon, to avoid their father's worry.
However, despite saying this, Song Wuji was still a bit uneasy about his brother going alone. After much consideration, he decided to accompany his brother.
Meanwhile, at the Baili residence.
"This tea is so hot, how am I supposed to drink it?"
Song Yu'er said coldly to the maid kneeling before her. Heh, the tea wasn't actually that hot, but she was inexplicably irritable today.
So, she just wanted to vent her frustration on someone. She was being domineering and unreasonable, so what? Her status was noble, and it was fine to throw a small tantrum.
"Miss, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I won't do it again. Please, Miss, forgive me."
The maid said, trembling, as she knelt on the ground. When she poured the tea earlier, she felt the temperature and knew it wasn't that hot. Miss Song was deliberately causing trouble, wasn't she?
But she was just a servant. Little Miss could discipline her however she pleased. How could she dare to say a word of refusal?
"Slap yourself!"
Song Yu'er stood up, walked to the maid, and directly slapped her.
She was just a small maid. What could it matter if she was wronged?
"Miss Song, I wonder how Cui'er offended you that you need to hit her like this?"
Madam Baili happened to pass by and saw Cui'er being hit. She was a little surprised because Cui'er was very obedient and well-behaved. She couldn't imagine Cui'er doing anything wrong.
"She just poured me tea, and it was scalding hot. Was she trying to burn me to death?"
Song Yu'er said coldly, feigning anger.
"But Cui'er never makes mistakes. How could she possibly make such a basic error?"
Madam Baili said, somewhat disbelievingly. Cui'er was trained by her personally, and she felt something was amiss.
"So, Madam, you don't believe my words? You think I'm being unreasonable and deliberately making things difficult for the servant?"
Song Yu'er was surprised that Madam Baili wasn't going along with her. She was a little angry.
"I didn't mean that. No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. So, I hope Miss Song can be magnanimous and not punish her too severely."
Madam Baili could see that Miss Song was doing this deliberately. Although she felt a little sorry for Cui'er, for the sake of the bigger picture, she still didn't want Miss Song to be angry.
"Madam, since you're here, I'm not used to your family's food. I eat bird's nest and abalone at home. So, now I want to eat bird's nest, abalone, and sea cucumber. Hurry up and prepare it."
Song Yu'er said coldly to Madam Baili, a little annoyed.
"But it's impossible to buy them now. Those prepared delicacies require reservations, and there's no time now. How about I make a reservation first, and you can have them in a few days?"
Madam Baili frowned. She hadn't expected Song Yu'er to be so difficult.
"No, I really don't want to eat them in a few days. I want to eat them today, and I want them now. Hurry up and get them for me, or I'll get angry."
Song Yu'er said imperiously to Madam Baili. She was a spoiled girl, pampered since childhood, which made her arrogant and dismissive of others.
"You're really going too far. Let me tell you, everything has its limits. Don't make yourself too disliked by others. Do you really think you're so amazing? If you didn't have a good father, how could you be so arrogant right now?"
Just as Madam Baili was speaking with Song Yu'er, Gu Qianying and her party returned.
Gu Qianying had a straightforward personality and couldn't stand seeing people bullying others with their status.
"But I've eaten bird's nest, abalone, and sea cucumber since I was young. Have you ever eaten them? What business is it of yours? So, I advise you not to meddle. It's really annoying."
Song Yu'er didn't expect a busybody to appear halfway. She found it quite bothersome and wondered where this woman came from, thinking she was being ridiculous.
"But I just can't stand seeing people being bullied. Madam Baili is such a good person. Don't you feel guilty bullying her?"
Gu Qianying said coldly to the woman before her. This Song Yu'er was truly excessive.
"I've already said it's none of your business. Don't interfere further. You know my identity, you can't afford to provoke me."
Song Yu'er genuinely found this woman annoying and wished she would just go somewhere cool.
"What if I say no? Didn't you just say the tea was hot? Touch it properly, it's just warm. I really didn't expect you to be so arrogant and overbearing. With such a personality, how can you be someone's wife?"
Gu Qianying said coldly. She had truly witnessed this woman's unreasonable behavior today.
"I've already told you, this is my own business. Even if you want to marry him, you can't. Are you jealous of me?"
Song Yu'er said to the woman before her, suddenly feeling a sense of superiority.
"I don't want to marry a sickly person. If you're willing to marry a sickly person, then go ahead. I wish you happiness."
Gu Qianying said to the woman before her, not hiding her mockery at all. It's fine, let's wait and see. She would definitely make this woman regret today.
"What exactly do you mean?"
Song Yu'er asked the woman before her, looking somewhat furious.
