Lily secretly rejoiced, fearing that she would regret it, so she quickly exchanged their jewelry boxes.
Janis noticed Bai Wu's kindness and raised the corners of her mouth unconsciously.
Sure enough, it was right to arrange Sema next to her and let her instill in Myriel the idea that neither Merlin nor Ais liked her all day long.
Now Miriel has completely moved closer to her gentle and considerate aunt.
Otherwise, why would he help her talk at the dinner table, and why would he exchange jewelry with Lily just to please her now?
Janis walked over in a pretentious manner, held Bai Wu's hand, and said:
"Dear, do you like the gift your aunt gave you?"
Bai Wu replied with a bright smile: "I like it very much, Aunt Janice. Thank you for the woolen shawl."
Janice nodded, then leaned over and whispered to her:
"Of course my aunt likes you the most. Your sister Ais doesn't get such treatment. The gloves she gets are just made of brown rat hair."
Bai Wu's eyes quickly flashed with mockery.
Or maybe this Janice has a good skin but an empty head.
Although doing this would make the sisters resent each other, it would also be equivalent to telling others that she, as an aunt, did not distinguish between right and wrong, nor priorities.
It's not like their grandfather and parents prepared exactly the same Christmas gifts for the three of them.
After all, a family with three daughters is already able to share love equally, so it is even more important to show equality on such occasions.
And what is Janice’s behavior if it’s not intentionally annoying?
Hiding her emotions, Bai Wu rolled her blue eyes, as if talking to Janis in a normal way, and deliberately brought up something she didn't know——
"But my sister should not be short of sheepskin shawls. My mother brought many gifts to my sister when she came back from the palace, including a shawl made of white fox fur, which was given to me by Your Majesty himself."
"What?!" Janis grabbed Bai Wu's arm in shock.
She knew that Merlin was recruited into the palace by His Majesty. After all, Resker was a Duke, and they were invited to attend the palace dinner before Christmas every year.
But she has never heard of His Majesty giving any rewards?
Could it be that they were all taken away by Mei Lin?
Bai Wu saw the anger in Janis's eyes and lowered her head pretending to be disappointed.
"Your Majesty seems to like your sister very much, and he specifically asked your mother to bring these gifts to her."
In fact, she also received gifts. His Majesty prepared gifts for everyone attending the banquet.
But she deliberately did not say the part she got, but emphasized what Ais got, in order to misunderstand Janis.
Sure enough, Janice took the bait.
She had long heard that His Majesty was interested in finding a Crown Princess for the current Crown Prince.
As early as the autumn, there were rumors in the aristocratic circles that His Majesty would hold a royal ball specifically for this purpose so that His Highness Siriya could find a good match.
But this year has passed and there is still no news from the palace.
Some said it was because His Majesty was ill, others said that His Majesty already had a candidate in mind.
As for who this person is, there are different opinions among the nobles in the imperial city, but Aisi is indeed on the list of people's guesses.
Now His Majesty is deliberately giving her a gift. Doesn't he really mean it to her?
How can that work?
Her daughter Lily was already suppressed by Aisi. If Aisi really became the crown princess, would there be a day when mother and daughter could make a comeback?
Miri'er has a weak temper and is easy to control, but Ais is different. As the eldest daughter of the Rhodes family, she is no smaller than anyone else. Otherwise, how could she be so lucky among these big families?
Because she was hiding something in her heart, Janis looked worried for the next time and didn't talk to anyone.
Bai Wu sat on the sofa, picked up a glass of goat milk and sipped it.
Her eyebrows were slightly lowered, and maybe because of the warm fire, there was a small patch of scarlet at the end of her eyes.
He looks extremely docile and well-behaved, but in fact his blue eyes, lightly covered by his blond hair, are full of shrewd light.
Because the sofa was located right in the center of the living room, she could have a good view of everyone's actions.
She saw her dear sister Ais talking to everyone crazily in order to regain her sense of existence, trying her best to show her eldest daughter's demeanor.
She also saw her father sitting at the dining table opposite, his eyes passing over her from time to time, and he was about to say something but stopped.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Wu stood up, walked to Reske and bowed.
"Father, Merry Christmas."
Reske nodded and finally spoke when Bai Wu turned around.
"Are you free tomorrow?"
Bai Wu thought for a moment: "You should have time tomorrow. Mr. Albudo will continue to stay at home with his family. What's wrong, father?"
Reske stood up, but lowered his head and fiddled with his already neat gloves.
"How about I take you out to buy some things tomorrow? You haven't been home for so many years, so you probably have a lot of things that you haven't bought yet."
Bai Wu couldn't help but pursed her lips.
It has been at least half a year since she returned to the manor.
The reason her father found was a bit too far-fetched.
But she did not expose Reske, but gave him another slight salute: "Okay father, I look forward to being with you."
She smiled sweetly, causing Resker to raise the corners of his lips.
"Then go to bed early today." He subconsciously reached out and patted her shoulder, then turned and went upstairs.
This move happened to be fully visible to Ais.
In the end, she couldn't hold it back anymore, pretending to be casual, she walked up to Bai Wu and asked:
"What did father just say to you? You look so happy."
Bai Wu blinked her eyes mischievously.
"Well, I didn't say anything. My father was afraid that I would be bored at home these days, so he said he would take me out to play tomorrow."
"Sister, if you have nothing to do, I will go back to the room and go to bed first. After all, my father gets up very early every day, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up tomorrow."
She bowed her knees gracefully and left, leaving Ace alone standing there clenching her fists in jealousy.
Bai Wu turned her back and smiled slyly. She thought that her dear sister might have to stay awake all night on this beautiful Christmas Eve.
She got up early the next day and not only put on a brand new light pink dress, she even specially braided her blond hair into two braids with a pair of big bows on top, making her look playful and cute.

Resker was already waiting at the entrance of the manor, and parked next to him was a tightly wrapped black and gold carriage.
