“Hahaha!” Fei Bai laughed loudly again. In the end, he didn’t take Yu Yi anywhere, just drove around and returned home.
Yu Tao’er walked over and said slowly behind Ding Jingman: “Jingman jie, you must be careful of the white-eyed wolf around you!”
Ding Jingman was only half a year older than Yu Tao’er, but she was always called “Jingman jie,” which made her seem older. Every time she heard these three words, Ding Jingman got angry. She ignored Yu Tao’er and stormed into the room. When she turned back and saw Yu Yi gently close the door, she realized that Yu Tao’er’s “white-eyed wolf” must be referring to A Ju.
She looked suspiciously at Yu Yi: “A Ju, what does that little actress mean by those words?”
Yu Yi had been prepared since seeing Yu Tao’er’s jealous look at the doorstep. When she heard Yu Tao’er’s provocative words, she had already planned her response while closing the door: “This afternoon, Madam was asleep. A Ju was afraid of waking you, so she went downstairs to clean the living room. She heard the Fourth Concubine tell the Commander that she got two tickets for a big star’s performance and wanted the Commander to accompany her tonight. The Commander told the Fourth Concubine to find you to go together, but she refused, saying she would rather take A Xiang than go with you…”
Originally, the two tickets could have allowed Ding Jingman and Yu Tao’er to each bring A Ju and A Xiang into the Xile Gate. But Yu Tao’er preferred to let A Xiang be seated rather than go with Ding Jingman.
Ding Jingman was furious before even hearing the full story: “What?! That little actress is getting too full of herself! Who is she? Before she became famous, she was nothing compared to A Xiang! If she hadn’t married Fei Bai, how could she have a chance to enter the Xile Gate? No, I must get Fei Bai to get me tickets!”
Ding Jingman was about to go downstairs to the study to find Tu Fei Bai.
Yu Yi hurriedly said: “Madam, please don’t go!”
Ding Jingman stopped: “Why not?”
