Destroy his arms (2)

  Bai Luli leaned in close to Bai Li's ear and spoke in a very low voice, so low that only Bai Li could hear clearly.

  Bai Luli said, "Baili, I'll marry my sister to you, do you want to or not? If you do, I'll spare your life." This was an extremely wonderful and good thing for any man, but Baili refused. He would rather go to the northern land where he might never return than accept Bai Luli's words.

  He didn't want to be unable to watch over Miss Pearl every moment, protect her for all eternity. No one knew that he had long placed Miss Pearl deep in his heart, in a position where he was willing to trade his own life and death for her safety. But precisely because of this, he absolutely could not reveal his adoration for Miss Pearl, nor could he agree with Little Sister's words. This was because he understood that Miss Pearl, like an immortal fairy, was beyond his wildest dreams. He was just a lowly servant, a household slave who would always be inferior to others. Between him and Miss Pearl lay a deep and bottomless chasm. If he were to cross this chasm and stand beside Miss Pearl, she would inevitably be shunned by the world!

  Miss Pearl is flawless in the eyes of the world, as beautiful and clean as a pearl. How could she be possessed by a mere house slave? If he really married Miss Pearl, even if he would gain the envy of others, he would drag her from the clouds into the mud, staining her with dirt that can never be washed away for the rest of her life! How could he... ruin the person he loves most in his heart...

  He would rather die than see Miss Pearl sad and gloomy for even half a moment...

  Bai Lide's answer did not surprise Bai Liuli at all, because she had already guessed his answer. When he protected Bai Zhenzhu in front of her as soon as he sensed danger, when he heard Bai Zhenzhu personally admit that she was indeed Bai Liuli, and when she saw the bitterness in his eyes, she understood that Bai Lide's heart towards Bai Zhenzhu was not just a master-servant relationship. It was a love so strong that he would rather destroy himself than let go of her smile. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to remain humble and silent from start to finish. After all, when Bai Zhenzhu admitted she was indeed Bai Liuli, he already knew that she would abandon him when she couldn't keep him, which is why his eyes were dim and bitter.

  But he would rather die than say anything against Bai Zhenzhu, and even refused the beautiful things she threw at him.

  Bai Luli suddenly found it laughable, the person who kept saying they would protect and love her for a lifetime, ended up killing her. On the other hand, Bai Li's love was selfless and he knew from the start that his love would not be reciprocated, yet he was willing to sacrifice his life for the one he secretly loved. One was a high-ranking master, the other a lowly slave, but their loves were worlds apart.

  For a moment, Bai Liusi admired Bai Li, after all, people who would disregard their own life and death for the one they love are not often seen. However, her admiration only lasted for a moment, because she had decided to do something, and she never changed halfway through.

  Fate has already made it impossible to change, Bai Li quietly knelt down and didn't say another word. Bai Zhenzhu still wanted to plead for Bai Li and also wanted to tell Bai Liu that she would take care of Lan'er, but Bai Liu didn't even glance at her and turned around to walk back to the main seat, re-taking his place.

  At the same time, Lan'er was supported by a maid and came into the hall.

  Only to see Orchid had changed into a clean set of clothes, her disheveled hair was also combed neatly, if not for her pale complexion at this moment, she would indeed be a stunning beauty.

  At this time, Lan'er's emotions had stabilized a lot. Perhaps it was during the empty space of washing and dressing that the maid helped her smooth out her emotions. However, when she saw Bai Liuli's face wrapped in gauze, she still felt afraid and trembled slightly, tightly grasping the hand of the maid supporting her, as if fearing that Bai Liuli would devour her at any moment.

  "Come, Lan'er, come here." Bai Liuli seemed to be completely unaffected by her usual appearance. Not only did she not get angry at Lan'er's reaction, but she even smiled slightly, although this smile made everyone feel uneasy. She saw that she was not only gentle in attitude, but also beckoned to Lan'er, "Come and let me see, see what I've scared my sister's favorite maid into."

  Lan'er didn't dare to approach Bai Liuli, her mind was a bit unclear and she might not remember the consequences of making the eldest miss angry. However, the maid holding onto her was very clear about it, seeing Lan'er standing still on the spot, she pulled her towards Bai Liuli with force. Once Lan'er stood steadily in front of Bai Liuli, the maid immediately let go and retreated to the side, lowering her head and standing properly, she didn't have the guts or willingness to exist for too long in front of the eldest miss.

  "What has this good person suffered, how can this little face be so thin?" Bai Liuli took over the re-steeped tea from the maid, and while scraping off the boiling tea with the cup lid, she looked up at Lan'er's slightly trembling shoulders and said with a concerned expression, "Come on, tell me what happened to you that made you like this. I'll take responsibility for my sister."

  "Lan'er... slave... " Lan'er licked her dry lips, just about to respond when she suddenly remembered the suffering she had endured in that pitch-black room for several days, unable to tell day from night. Suddenly, she knelt down in front of Bai Liuli, her heart twisted with fear and resentment, her eyes turning vicious, almost gnashing her teeth as she said, "It must be that wicked Shamu who wronged me, please, Miss, avenge me!"

  At this moment, Bai Luli's gentle attitude made Lan'er feel that the big sister she saw that night was an illusion, and it must be Shamuk who was pretending to be a ghost in front of her. Because at that time, there was no one around, only Shamuk was alone, and she even taught Shamuk a lesson. It must be Shamuk taking revenge on her! It must be Shamuk who made her suffer! Then she would make Shamuk pay the price for harming her!

  "Oh? How can you be so sure it was Shamu who harmed you?" Bai Liuli took a light sip of tea, her expression unchanged. "You first tell me what happened to you truthfully, I'll definitely help you take charge, alright?"

  "Thank you, big sister!" Lan Er was overjoyed and didn't notice the disgust behind Bai Liu Li's smile or the darkness in Bai Zhen Zhu's eyes. She thoughtlessly told everything she remembered, including seeing Bai Liu Li's ghost.

  Bai Luli listened to Lan'er's indignant words with a faint smile, not moved by Lan'er's attitude at all. Instead, Bai Zhenzhu furrowed her brow more and more as she listened, finally interrupting Lan'er's words with a rebuke: "Lan'er, stop spouting nonsense! How could the White Manor have that small black room you're talking about?"

  "Sister, don't interrupt Lan'er's words, she didn't say that the small black house is not in the White Mansion, did she?" Bai Liuli covered her cup with a lid, still speaking in a gentle tone, "If I said that there is such a small black house in the White Mansion, wouldn't you remember? There is indeed such a room in Yuanyuan."

  "Sister, you——" Bai Zhenzhu stared at Bai Liuli with an extremely shocked gaze, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

  "What is sister thinking of with such an expression?" Bai Liuli casually twirled the hair by her ears, saying, "The thing that Ye Lanyu saw that night was not a ghost, but me myself. And the one who ordered Samu to tie her up and throw her into the small black room was also me."

  Lan'er looked up at Bai Liusu with a gaze as if she was looking at a monster, her whole body stiffened and fell to the ground. Bai Zhenzhu, on the other hand, furrowed his brow deeply. Was this really Bai Liusu? Why did he give her a completely different feeling from Bai Liusu?!

  "Sister, you know that I never go easy on those who have committed great wrongs." Bai Liumei's words were gentle, but they sent chills down one's spine. "So, let Lan'er keep White Li company instead, and neither of them will be lonely."

  "Sister, are you more concerned about offending my maid or more concerned about me, your little sister?" White Luli stared at White Zhenzhu's sparkling eyes, smiling with a hint of profundity.
