Twenty-two gave her maid

  This was Bai Xinzhen's first exchange with someone, and she could see that the man in front of her had not exerted his full strength, but rather intentionally avoided it. Looking at his feigned defeat, she felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart. He still has some elegance!

  She became more and more arrogant, no, it would be better to say that she discovered the fun of fighting with people, being able to "exercise" like this was also a kind of venting.

  She kicked him twice in a row, and Yan Mo's face turned somewhat unsightly. This woman was getting more and more presumptuous!

  After retreating step by step, his eyes flashed, and when the woman approached again, he suddenly tapped the tip of his foot and jumped over the woman's head, unexpectedly stretching out his hand to tap twice on the woman's back.

  “……？！” Bai Xin was using him as a punching bag, practicing his kicks and punches with great enthusiasm, when he suddenly found himself unable to move. In his confusion, he realized there was someone behind him, their breath enveloping him, and then he was lifted off the ground and held in mid-air——

  "Bastard, untie me!" She suddenly turned cold, but unfortunately she couldn't move, otherwise at this moment she really wanted to bite someone.

  Ignoring her cold face and scolding words, Yan Mo directly carried her onto the bed, really preparing to help her clean up.

  "Enough playing around, enough fussing about. If we don't get washed up soon, the water will be cold." From the moment he discovered her secret, he knew that this woman was hiding too much. This little wild cat seems to require even more caution in the future.

  The man in front of her spoke with a serious expression and a gentle tone, as if coaxing an unruly child. Bai Xinzhen opened his eyes, feeling inexplicably annoyed and uneasy inside. He was used to the coldness of family affection and the charity of others, but facing this man's inexplicable attitude, he was not accustomed to it at all...

  As she gazed at his slender white fingers, she suddenly felt her heart pounding violently, far exceeding its normal speed. The joints of those fingers were distinct, the fingernails clean and neat. Suddenly, she snapped back to reality, a tear squeezing out from the corner of her eye.

  "You can't bully me—" Usually, the most she did was pretend to be pitiful, pretending to be a weakling, and she had almost done it all. At this moment, in order to protect herself, she had to change her approach and deal with the man in front of her.

  In her plaintive cry, Yan Mo Yu's hand paused, startled by the panic in her eyes. Although he knew this woman had a fake component to her, his heart still inexplicably skipped a beat.

  He raised his hand to brush away the disheveled hair from her forehead, his Adam's apple rolled, and he spoke in a low, hoarse voice: "You don't have to be so afraid... Later you can clean yourself up, and I'll send you back to the White Manor tonight. Don't think about leaving, stay here, and I will protect you completely, no one will dare to bully you again. Do you understand?

  His fingertips inadvertently brushed across his cheek, and Bai Xincheng felt his heart beat faster again. Looking at the gentle man in front of him, especially those deep and mysterious black eyes that seemed to be able to absorb people's souls, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy no matter how she looked at him. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowed down her tone, saying: "Undo my seal, I won't leave."

  She doesn't even want to go back to that so-called home!

  "Mm." The man replied softly and patted her back twice.

  Bai Xin jumped up in a flash, her hands clasped behind her back, and pointed at the door with a frown: "You go out first, I don't want anyone staring at me!"

  "*Cough*". For some unknown reason, he clenched his fist and placed it to his lips, letting out a light cough. He shifted his gaze away from her, then stood up and strode out of the room, closing the door behind him.

  He had thought about staying, but just now, he found himself almost unable to hold back...

  The wedding date has been set and there is still half a month left, but he can't wait any longer...

  ……

  The sky had just entered night, and Bai Xiner returned to the White Mansion.

  The one who went with her to the White House was not some man, but a cool woman wearing black leather and looking cold.

  The ones who welcomed her were no longer the Bai family members, but rather Bai Hanqing and his wife, Madame Zhang.

  "Master Bai, Madam Bai, I, Xiao Yueying, have been ordered by the king to serve Miss Bai from now on." A cold and ruthless woman stepped out from behind Bai Xinzhu, clasped her fists in a salute, and spoke first to Bai Hanlin and Zhou Shi.

  The woman in front of them had a cold and stern expression, and from head to toe, she didn't have any feminine charm, but instead gave off an unfriendly feeling, which made both Bai Han and Zhang Shi furrow their brows at the same time.

  It's obvious that Your Highness is not at ease with this future Crown Princess!

  Bai Xin stood foolishly in front of the two, only his eyes seemed very curious, with a fake foolishness, rolling around and looking around randomly.

  For someone who is deaf, mute and a bit silly, what can Bai Han say? Even if there are many things to say, the other person must be able to understand. However, the girl in front of him had changed into a clean dress, her messy hair was now neatly combed and fell behind her back, and without that silly look, she actually looked pretty.

  He exchanged a glance with Zhang, and Bai Han nodded slightly towards the woman who called herself Xue Ying: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. I'll trouble Miss Xue Ying to take care of my daughter. I'll thank you first, Your Highness and Miss Xue Ying."

  Even if he was dissatisfied with Cheng Wang's attitude of beheading first and reporting later, Bai Han couldn't say much, and had to swallow his anger. Anyway, he was now worried about his daughter's food and clothing, so let Cheng Wang intervene, and he could also get out of the way.

  The day of the wedding is not far away, as long as he can marry off this daughter, he will have nothing to worry about. On the contrary, he himself can become the old Tai Shan who inherits the throne, and it can be said that he has also taken advantage of it...

  The Zhang family had always been slightly humble, following behind Bai Hanlin quietly, neither speaking nor showing any expression, but secretly staring at Bai Xincheng from time to time. She also heard about the events of that year later on and only saw this deaf and mute Miss Bai today. For her, the mansion suddenly had an additional young lady, and she had an additional adopted daughter, so in her heart, she was somewhat uncomfortable.

  Fortunately, the stepdaughter in front of me is silly and foolish, unlike another one who always looks at her with a sideways glance.

  Bai Hanzhao had already arranged a courtyard for Bai Xinzhu before she left. Now that Bai Xinzhu is back, and as the future Crown Princess, Bai Hanzhao has to give face to the Crown Prince, so he can't treat her poorly or be unhappy about it. Therefore, the small courtyard where Bai Xinzhu will live isn't too bad, although it's not comparable to that of the other Miss Bai, but it's passable.

  For this silly daughter, Bai Han knew that He Lan and Bai Xin had some dislike for her, so he handed over the arrangement of Bai Xin's daily life to Zhang Shi.

  Led by Zhang, she was taken to the new courtyard. Looking at the clean and tidy 'home', Bai Xinzhu couldn't help but feel a sour heart. In her two lifetimes, 'home' was just a word to her, and she hadn't even felt what it was like to have a home.

  This Zhang, Xue Ying called her madam, she knew this was her nominal stepmother.

  The Zhang family's daughter is not considered beautiful, although her attire exudes an air of luxury, her words and actions are somewhat low-key, giving people a humble feeling in modern terms.

  Never lived in a big house, but Bai Xinzhen has watched many TV dramas about ancient courtyards. A woman who can sit stably as the wife of a university scholar, is she really so humble? Wouldn't she be bullied to death by other women?

  Zhang's character, Bai Xin didn't bother to think about it carefully. For anyone in the Bai family, she had no good feelings. The fact that this body of hers could be brought back by her family was purely thanks to that man.

  To put it bluntly, the imperial decree has been issued, and the White family is also being forced. Such a relationship she would rather not have and will not admit to. Moreover, the real Bai Xinyan had already been killed by Xiang Yu...

  Xue Ying indeed was a servant of the Bai family, serving Bai Xinzhu. This new pair of master and servant, one stupid and unable to say or hear anything, the other always with a sullen face as if everyone owed her money, giving off an air of disdain for everything. Seeing this pair, Zhang Shi also didn't have the mood to stay any longer.

  "Blood Shadow girl, the young mistress has returned in a hurry, and there are still many things that we have not prepared properly. If there is any inconvenience, you can bear with it for now. Tomorrow I will arrange for a few maids to come over to serve you, and also add a few more chefs, so that the young mistress can eat and live comfortably." Zhang Shi spoke in a casual tone towards Blood Shadow, who was her subordinate.

  "It's not necessary." Blood Shadow said coldly, "Madam Bai doesn't need to bother. Our Wang Ye has said that before the wedding, everything about the new Wang Fei will be arranged by him, no one else needs to worry. From now on, everything in this courtyard can be taken care of by me alone."

  Digression

  Don't underestimate the newly emerged Blood Shadow classmate, this is our future chief spokesperson. At the same time, it's also the silver... that bears the most black pots.
