The disdain in Lady Bai’s eyes was far too obvious to be feigned. Bai Xiyue knew full well that with just a word, she could easily drive Song Yunqing away, perhaps even making it impossible for her to survive in the Marquis Residence.
However, recalling Song Yunling’s attitude just moments ago, Bai Xiyue shook her head. "Mother, I do not wish to marry His Highness Prince Ning. This marriage contract was originally sought by Grandfather for my sister, and she is deeply devoted to His Highness. I do not wish to contend with her for it."
"Who said it was hers?" Lady Bai retorted indignantly. "She certainly has a high opinion of herself! Does she really think she is worthy of His Highness? I have painstakingly schooled her for over a decade, yet she remains incapable of anything—a total blockhead. A fool like that, even if she were to marry into Prince Ning Manor, would only bring shame upon our Marquis Residence!"
