Beautiful daughter-in-law
"Hmph!" Bai Yue glared at Yu Shiyan's back, letting out a loud hum through his nostrils, making no effort to conceal his disgust towards Yu Shiyan. Then, he turned to glare at the surrounding maids and servants, his voice menacing as he growled, "Whoever dares to let him in again, I'll drive them out!"
Everyone was stared at by Bai Yue's sharp eyes, and they quickly lowered their heads in response. In the past, Old Master had never liked Eldest Young Master, so it wasn't unusual to hear him say such things. But now it was different; even Second Miss, who had always maintained a good relationship with Eldest Young Master, was also rejecting him like Old Master! Was it just because Eldest Young Master had received the imperial edict and married the princess?
Everyone in the White House knew that Fourth Young Miss had a crush on Eldest Young Master, but they all thought that Fourth Young Miss was not worthy of Eldest Young Master. Fortunately, the Emperor's decree saved Eldest Young Master, otherwise his life would have been ruined by the cruel Fourth Young Miss. It's better for him to marry the Princess instead. The Princess is a heavenly beauty and dared to risk her life to say in front of the Emperor that she would not marry anyone else but Eldest Young Master. From any angle, she is more suitable for the nearly perfect Eldest Young Master than their Fourth Young Miss.
Bai Luli listened to Bai Yue's straightforward words, feeling only that her mood was comfortable and relaxed, just like talking to a dog. It really suited Yu Shiyan, who had the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog. Before long, she would make Yu Shiyan kneel before her like a dog.
"Dead kid, you get out of bed so slowly! Do you think you're a woman?! I've been waiting for you here for half the day!" Bai Yue glared at the servant, then turned his head to glare at Bai Liu Li, almost reaching out to grab her ears.
"...The crowd fell silent, and it seemed that Old Master really did regard Big Sister as his own granddaughter."
"Grandfather is so anxious to see me this early in the morning, is there something important he wants to talk to me about?" Bai Liusi looked at Bai Yue, who was like a child and couldn't control his emotions, and felt even warmer in her heart, and her usually cold voice softened a little.
"Come, come, little one." Bai Yue suddenly smiled again, as if he had found a treasure, and pulled on Bai Liu's wrist to drag her outside. "I'll take you to a great place!"
"What's a good place?" Bai Luli allowed herself to be led by Bai Yue's hand, smiling faintly.
"Xiao's family." Bai Yue said without turning his head back.
"What's the sudden trip to Xiao's house for?" The Xiao family? One of the three major clans, currently with the most prestigious reputation. In her memory, the Bai family rarely interacted with the Xiao family, so much so that during Bai Zhenzhu's succession ceremony, not a single member from the Xiao family attended. As for the reason behind their rare interactions, she was unaware. But what did this old man want to do by suddenly taking her to the Xiao's house?
"Ah——" Bai Yue suddenly stopped in his tracks, let out a heavy sigh, "It's still because I'm afraid your wife will be disgusted by this ugly face of yours. Your wife is too beautiful, and I, the old man, can't let you scare away my future granddaughter-in-law. The Xiao family owes me a favor, and now I'll go collect on that debt. Let them think of a way to fix your face."
Bai Luli heard this and couldn't help but laugh, and instead of telling Bai Yue that she had a way to cure her face, she smiled and asked: "Old Yue, I remember my wife having an even uglier face than me, if I don't mind then it's good enough, are you afraid she'll mind about me?"
Too pretty? This old man, what kind of eyes does he have.
" Bah, I can see that's a fake face, you little scoundrel, and you still can't tell!?" Bai Yue said, glaring at Bai Liu again, then scratched his head as if recalling something. "What was your wife's name... Cloud... Jian? Ah yes, Cloud Jian! I think I saw her several times when she was a child, pretty like a delicate porcelain doll... At the time, I thought to myself, hehe, this little one would make a great granddaughter-in-law for me... then... then someone said that was the young master's daughter, not the young princess..."
Bai Yue's face turned even more gloomy as he spoke, his eyebrows furrowed in distress. He seemed to have recalled some painful memory. Bai Liu Li was about to call him back to reality to prevent him from recalling the most sorrowful events of his past. Just as her hand touched Bai Yue's shoulder, he suddenly ruffled his hair and shouted angrily: "Pfft! What's with this 'young master' and 'young mistress' nonsense? In any case, she is my grandson's wife! You little scoundrel, you must not let others snatch your wife away from you, do you understand?"
"Hmm." Bai Luli gently brushed away Bai Yue's hand, which was scratching his hair, and used her fingers to smooth out his messy hair. "I will definitely not let others take your future daughter-in-law away from you."
One is a shrew, no one wants to marry her for life. One is the King of Ghosts, no one dares to marry him for life. Neither of them will ever have someone to fight over, this old man doesn't need to worry about who's being fought over at all.
Besides, she never thought of finding someone to spend her life with, but rather couldn't bear to tell the old man the truth.
"That's it, there can't be a more beautiful daughter-in-law in the world!" Bai Yue pulled Bai Liu Li's wrist again with a smile and led her out, "Let's go, let's hurry to Xiao's house."
Beautiful...? This is the old man's second time saying that Baili Yunfei is beautiful. Is there a national beauty hidden under that ugly ghost mask? Bai Liuli smiled slightly and shook her head slightly. The old man was already confused, how could he still remember things from before? Besides, no matter what, Baili Yunfei is also a man, how can the word "beautiful" be used to describe a man? It's just that the old man wants a granddaughter-in-law too much.
Forget it, she'll just go to the Xiao family's house for a trip, and consider it as going out for a stroll. Although she doesn't expect the Xiao family to really cure her face, if she can get some precious medicine at the Xiao family that she can't get at the Bai family, that would be good too. The Xiao family has been in business for generations, so they must have some rare and precious treasures.
She didn't know if the old man's excited words about the Xiao family owing him a favor were true, but even if it wasn't, she thought of it as just visiting the Xiao family, and she didn't want to ruin the poor old man's good mood.
"Why does Old White want to go to Xiao's house instead of going to the hospital?" Bai Liuli didn't quite understand what was on Bai Yue's mind.
"Hmph, a group of quacks!" Unexpectedly, Bai Yue snorted disdainfully, "I don't believe in the quacks at Taiyi Hospital, nor do I believe in the people in the imperial palace!"
Bai Liuli's eyes sank, and although the old man was a bit silly, he would never say such things without reason, so he must know something.
Is it... just like what Bai Lianjing thought in her heart after she had passed away?
Ten years ago, the Seven Nations War, the death of Bai Zhifu couple, is there really something unknown hidden behind?
"Dead kid, what are you still standing there for! Hurry up and get on the carriage!" After Bai Yue got on the carriage that had been prepared outside the mansion gate, he glared at Bai Liu Li who was still not getting on.
"Here." Bai Liuli lightly responded and stepped onto the carriage.
The wheels rolled, heading towards Xiao's house. However, the horse carriage had only traveled a distance of about five zhang when a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked its path!
