Just after Qu Xing Xu said those words, both Lin Xiaofei and Qu Xing Xu heard a woman's voice from in front of them.

"Your Grace! We've been waiting for you!" The middle-aged woman said and curtsied slightly while being supported by a young lady.

Qu Xing Xu glanced at Bai Feng Jiu and put a slight smile on his lips, "Lady Bai, I didn't know your legs have healed already for you to come out and greet me." He casually said to her without showing an exaggerated show of respect to her.

The smile on Bai Feng Jiu's lips paused and almost fell down. Qu Xing Xu was clearly not showing her any face even in front of everyone else. A few days ago, in order to get Qu Xing Xu's attention and for him to visit her courtyard to get her little sister a chance for them to talk, Bai Feng Jiu pretended to have twisted her ankles.

However, Qu Xing Xu hasn't been coming home these past few days thus, her efforts to act failed.

Recovering the smile on her face, she said, "I only tripped and twisted my ankles slightly. My ankles have almost healed already.."

"That is great then." Qu Xing Xu said without any intention to continue speaking with his father's mistress.

Seeing that awkwardness between the two, Bai Jia Li took it upon herself to ease up the mood by putting the focus on the lady beside Qu Xing Xu.

"Brother Qu Xing Xu, this lady is…" She intentionally trailed her voice as if she didn't know why was there a lady beside him even though they all knew in the Qu residence that the fiance of the Duke will come today.

Just like everybody else, Bai Jia Li was speechless at the peerless face before her. The moment her brother Qu Xing Xu smiled down at the lady, Bai Jia Li couldn't help but bury her nails in her palm out of anger and jealousy.

Hmph! Using her face to charm brother Qu Xing Xu, what a sly fox! Bai Jia Li thought to herself.

"That is right, who is this young lady? Is she a guest of yours?" Bai Feng Jiu decided to support her sister and opened her mouth.

A disdainful look flashed in Lin Xiaofei's eyes as she stared at this pair of sisters and wanted to roll her eyes. They surely have an inkling what kind of a man Qu Xing Xu was and yet, they still continued to dig a grave for them to use.

"Miss, will you please tell us your name." Said Bai Feng Jiu.

"Not worth it."

"What?" Bai Feng Jiu asked as if she hadn't caught what Lin Xiaofei said the first time.

"I said, you're not worth it." Lin Xiaofei ruthlessly repeated. No one knows what she was talking about when she said these words.

Was she trying to say that Bai Feng Jiu was not worth telling her name?

Or perhaps, there was a deeper meaning to it.

Truth be told, Lin Xiaofei said that to draw a line to them. She was discreetly trying to say that whatever they're planning, it wasn't worth it for her to waste her time on them.

"Your Grace… isn't your guest being too rude to me right now. Not even greeting me, your elder." Bai Feng Jiu looked up at Qu Xing Xu who looked like he didn't hear what the young lady beside him had just said to her.

"Ah… that's because you didn't recognize who you are talking to." Qu Xing Xu said.

"What do you mean by that." Bai Feng Jiu still refused to acknowledge Lin Xiaofei.

Sweeping his cold gaze at her before raising it to look at the others who were standing before them, Qu Xing Xu didn't rush to say, "Lady Bai, don't you think you should greet the Duchess of Xin first?"

As if she was struck with lightning, Lady Bai sucked a mouthful of air and stared wide-eyed at Qu Xing Xu.

Bai Jia Li almost teared up as she heard him say that. What Duchess of Xin?! They're not married yet! There's no way an outsider like this woman with only her pretty face as a weapon become the Duchess!

Not on her watch! Bai Jia Li clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white from lack of blood.

"Congratulations, Your Grace." Bai Feng Jiu was forced to say as she noticed her little sister's mood dampening. She was sure that Bai Jia Li would lose her cool.

Bai Jia Li might look calm outwardly but with the way she was crushing her sister's hand, Bai Feng Jiu was sure that any moment now, Bai Jia Li would cry her eyes out in front of everyone.

Turning her head to look at Lin Xiaofei, Bai Feng Jiu bends her knees to greet her. As an elderly woman who was the mistress of the father of the Duke, she was sure that Lin Xiaofei will not allow her to bow at her and make things difficult for her.

Since Qu Xing Xu mentioned that she twisted her ankles, shouldn't the young lady try to be considerate and stop her from bowing?

Anyway, Bai Feng Jiu also didn't like bowing to a young woman who only looked beautiful and was brought back to the Qu residence by Qu Xing Xu.

Bai Feng Jiu expected to hear Lin Xiaofei stop her from bending her knees but who knew that not a single word escaped the young lady's mouth.

Looking down at Bai Feng Jiu, Lin Xiaofei only smiled as she said, "What's wrong? Aren't you supposed to greet me?"

Her voice was extremely sweet and soft that everyone's ears felt like it was being tickled. However, upon realizing what Lin Xiaofei has to say, everyone had different expressions in their faces.

The servants looked awkwardly at them while the Elders on the side was all smiles and lifted their chins as if they were proud of their own granddaughter for being merciless towards Bai Feng Jiu.
