Kill two birds with one stone

  Bai Xinbi was also hateful to the point of eye pain and heartache, plus her whole body ached. However, after calming down, she also considered some things, and after hearing He Lan's words, she hurriedly said: "Grandmother, you absolutely cannot act impulsively for Bi'er's sake!"

  "What's wrong? Doesn't Bi'er want revenge? Doesn't she want to drive that beast out?" He Lan asked, somewhat perplexed.

  Bai Xinbi shook her head, a hint of gloom flashing in her beautiful eyes: "Grandmother, I didn't mean it that way. I don't like this jinx either, just like you do. She was the one who brought bad luck to our family, causing Mother's death and leaving me without a mother since childhood. And she also brought bad luck to my younger uncle, making you lose your beloved grandson. As long as this jinx is alive, our White family will be unlucky for another day. We can't keep such a scourge around. However, Grandmother, there are people from the Crown Prince's palace following her everywhere, so we can't take action easily. Moreover, the imperial edict requires that this jinx marry the Crown Prince as his consort. If we get rid of her now, how will we explain it to the Crown Prince? Won't the Emperor punish our White House later?"

  Upon hearing this, He Lan hesitated. Bi Er's words were also reasonable; getting rid of that beast now would not only be difficult to carry out, but it could also easily bring trouble to the White Manor. She couldn't let her impulsiveness drag down her son's future and have the entire White family bear the crime of defying imperial orders. She had to think of a perfect plan...

  Suddenly, He Lan's body shook violently, and a calculating glint flashed across his eyes: "Got it!"

  "Grandma, have you thought of a solution?"

  "Hmm." He Lan nodded, but as she looked at her granddaughter, the old face full of wrinkles had a strong reluctance. "Bi'er, Grandma has thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone, but before that, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a bit."

  "Mother, what's going on? As long as we can get rid of that jinx, I'm not afraid to suffer a bit," said Bai Xinbi.

  After a long silence, He Lan said: "Grandmother wants you to marry the second son of the Shangshu Mansion, He Ming."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xinbi suddenly widened her eyes, somewhat disbelieving: "Grandmother... you want me to marry that cruel and dissolute young master He Ming?"

  He Lan saw her frightened and quickly grasped her hand and patted it: "Silly child, how could Mother possibly bear to have you marry someone like that?"

  "Uh, um..."

  "Grandmother means to announce your engagement with He Ming to the outside world... The wife of the Shangshu Mansion has already mentioned it to me several times, all saying that they want to form an alliance with our Bai family. But Grandmother also knows that He Ming's character is really too despicable, how could Grandmother possibly marry you off to such a dissolute young master? However, not responding from the Shangshu Mansion side isn't a solution either... Fortunately, heaven has opened its eyes and sent back that scoundrel..."

  "Grandma, you mean..."

  "Grandmother knows you like Cheng Wang, without that wicked creature, Cheng Wang was originally yours. Grandmother would never let that wicked creature snatch away my beloved grandson's heart, she wants to ruin your lifelong happiness, no way! Now grandmother is worried about how to respond to Shangshu Furen, didn't expect her to come back. Hmph, since that's the case, I'll marry off this wicked creature to that playboy! I heard that He Ming is ruthless and poisonous, likes to toy with women, marrying off this wicked creature to He Ming, she will definitely not escape He Ming's torment, with her useless appearance, within a month, she will surely be tortured to death by He Ming!" The old eyes of He Lan emitted a fierce and venomous glow, every word was ruthless and sinister.

  Bai Xinbi had already understood He Lan's meaning, which was to switch the infants. This method was good, but...

  "Grandma, as for He Ming's side, we can ignore it for now. After all, that jinx has a different figure from me, but his face is very similar to mine. It would be easy to deceive He Ming. But... what about the Crown Prince's side?"

  He Lan shook her head, patted her hand and continued: "Don't worry about Cheng Wang's side... I'll discuss with Madame Guan to set the wedding date for next month's eighth day as well. At that time, you two will get married at the same time. With the same wedding dress and veil, who knows which one is you and which one is her? By then, after worshiping heaven and earth and entering the bridal chamber, even if it's discovered, it would be like uncooked rice becoming cooked rice, what can Cheng Wang do about it?"

  After some thought, Bai Xinbi felt that this was also reasonable. As long as they had paid their respects to heaven and earth, even if there was no wedding chamber, with the status of being the king's concubine, it was impossible for her to be a freeloader.

  But will this matter affect the safety of the White House? Although she also thinks that this method is indeed good and wonderful, not only can it borrow someone's hand to torture the disaster star to death, but also let her dream come true. However, if it drags down the White House and her father, then her identity as a thousand gold miss will also be affected.

  "Grandma, what if after the fact, we are blamed by the king? What should we do then?"

  Upon hearing this, He Lan furrowed her brow and shook her head after a long while: "This isn't what I'm afraid of. By then, you will have already become the princess consort of Cheng Wang, making you his legitimate wife and woman. If he wants to blame you for anything, you can ask the elderly lady of the Cheng Wang estate to vouch for you. Isn't she always hoping that you would marry into the Cheng Wang estate? I think she will definitely help you speak up in front of Cheng Wang. It's said that Cheng Wang is extremely respectful towards her and follows her lead in everything, so if she helps you, Cheng Wang will definitely not pursue this matter further. If he still wants to investigate, we can just say it was the flower sedan chair bearer's mistake that led to the wrong bride being sent over. This way, Cheng Wang won't dare to do anything to us..."

  Listening to He Lan's word-by-word analysis, Bai Xinzhuang's eyes shone brighter and brighter with expectation, nodding constantly, her mouth involuntarily curving into a satisfied smile.

  The grandmother's method of killing two birds with one stone is really good!

  A simple trick of switching the flowers, not only can it make that woman miserable, but also allow herself to become the mistress of the Cheng Wang Fu in a legitimate and righteous manner. The Bai family and the Cheng Wang Fu can not only form an alliance through marriage, but also gain the support of the powerful Cheng Wang Fu, even if the Shang Shu Fu finds out that they have married a useless person, they may not dare to cause trouble for the Bai family.

  Wonderful...

  Grandma was overjoyed with this method...

  ……

  Night falls, and Bai Xinzhen returns to the White Mansion once again.

  Bai Hanling indeed kept his promise and moved her to a new courtyard. Compared to the place she stayed last night, the new courtyard was much larger in area, and the decorations inside the room looked more luxurious.

  Having such a luxurious residence is all thanks to a certain man. However, looking at this unfamiliar place, Bai Xinzhi felt complex and depressed.

  Today, that man took her out again, and they just ate and drank.

  She admitted that such a man would easily make women fall in love with him. As long as they weren't blind, they would definitely like him.

  But that doesn't mean she will fall in love with him like other women do.

  Lying in bed, she glanced at her own 32B figure that wasn't perfectly developed and sighed. That man seemed sharp, but his eyes were just too dull - what was it about her that attracted him?

  She spent two or three peaceful days at the White House. One day, after lunch, she took the initiative to chat with Blood Shadow, and as they chatted, it turned out that they were talking about Miss Bai Xinbi of the White family.

  "You're saying that Miss Bai is also getting married? And the wedding date is on the same day as mine?" Upon hearing this news, Bai Xindai was somewhat astonished.

  She and that man's wedding date was already quite rushed, but the white family's dignified and proper young lady getting married, actually even more rushed than her, said to get married then get married.

  What a bad day to choose, and it just so happens to be the same day as hers...
