He came at thirty-two

  Xue Ying didn't respond, he just nodded expressionlessly.

  "Who is Miss Bai going to marry?" At this time, she didn't know that she had unintentionally taken the man White Xinbi liked, and her questions were purely out of curiosity, or rather, to pass the time.

  These days, she would let Blood Shadow help her investigate the various people of the White House, and then report back to her. After several days, although she didn't know many people in the White House, who was what kind of person, who had a good relationship with whom, and who had a bad relationship with whom, Blood Shadow told her all about it in great detail.

  So-called knowing one's roots and foundation means that one will not be passive in everything, being led by the nose.

  "In response to the queen's words, Miss Bai is going to marry the second son of the current Minister of Justice's family." Blood Shadow replied truthfully.

  Bai Xin raised an eyebrow: "The official position is quite large. Oh, right, what kind of person is the other party? Do you know?"

  Xue Ying fell silent for a moment, his expressionless face uttering four words: "Not worthy of being human."

  Bai Xin Yan: *silence*

  How can he be worthy of her? How could the Bai family marry their precious daughter off to him?

  Bai Xin was momentarily perplexed and didn't notice the unusual flash in Shi Yue's calm eyes.

  When the news of Bai Xingbi's marriage came out, everyone in the mansion was shocked. In the same capital city, who among the young masters and misses stood out or were notorious, even if they hadn't seen them personally, they had at least heard about it.

  The Second Master of the Shangshu Mansion is what kind of person, in this capital city, even if it's an ordinary old hundred surnames, also has heard of his person and his deeds.

  Rumor has it that the second young master, He Ming, is not only a sex addict but also extremely cruel. His favorite pastime is to ravage women and his specialty is to toy with them until they die. It's said that innumerable women from various brothels in the capital have fallen victim to this young master's brutal games, his depravity is so heinous that it makes people want to speak out yet dare not.

  This is a place of prostitution, and it's all consensual. Who would dare to make a big fuss about those lowly women who sell themselves? The father of that family is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, you dare to report to the authorities, but maybe the one who gets caught is the reporter himself.

  Although these things were only privately rumored among the people, He Ming's despicable behavior had long been deeply rooted in their hearts. Now that the young lady of the White Manor was going to marry such a person, it was natural that whoever heard about it would be shocked.

  Especially Bai Hanling, when he learned that He Lan had already accepted the betrothal gift sent by the Shangshu Mansion, was almost furious.

  "Mother, how can you be so muddled! That, that He Ming is a scoundrel, haven't you heard? You agreed to the marriage like this, aren't you sending Bi'er to her death? How am I supposed to show my face in public from now on?"

  As for her son's angry words, He Lan seemed to have not taken them seriously. She knew that her plan could not be revealed, even to her own son. Now that she had accepted the gift from the Shangshu family, this marriage was already settled. Next, it was time to deal with that wicked beast...

  Sitting in a high position, He Lan didn't explain anything and only said seriously with an old face: "I have already promised the wife of the Minister of Works about this matter, and I have also accepted the betrothal gift from the Minister's family. I don't think there is any problem with this marriage, on the contrary, Minister He and your father have a good relationship, and they are sincere enough. How can you ask me to refuse this marriage?"

  "Mother!" Seeing He Lan was completely unaware of the situation, Bai Han scolded her loudly, "Are you trying to push Bi'er into a fire pit?!"

  "How dare you!" Mrs. He suddenly slammed the table and stood up, her maid tried to support her but was waved away, she straightened her back and walked angrily in front of Bai Han, coldly scolding, "How is it that now that you're growing up, you don't even put your own mother in your eyes?"

  Bai Han's face was pale with pain.

  "This matter has already been decided by me. If you want to back out, I won't stop you, as long as you're not afraid of offending the Shang Book House, you can return the betrothal gifts to them! Hmph!"

  After finishing speaking, He Lan led her maid away without looking back. Leaving Bai Han standing alone in the hall, feeling unbearable in his heart.

  Two daughters, one is a waste, never mind. One is now going to marry a dissolute young master as his wife, thinking about it makes me feel sorry and heartache for the intelligent and beautiful daughter...

  Now that the betrothal gifts have been received, can't they be returned? This Minister of Justice He Zhengzhou is a man of the Crown Prince!

  Following the imperial court

  Since Bai Xinzhu moved into the White House, Yin Du would report to Yan Moyu every day about news related to Bai Xinzhu.

  On this day, when it came to the marriage between the White Mansion and the Grand Secretary's Mansion, Yan Mo had been listening casually at first, but suddenly, he stood up from his taishi chair, and a cold air flashed out of his eyes, shooting towards Yin Du who was talking with relish.

  "You said the White Mansion wants to form an alliance with the Shangshu Mansion through marriage? And that Bai Xingbi is marrying the second son of the He family?"

  Yin Du was almost startled, calming his frightened heart, he looked at the man with a gloomy face and said truthfully: "Yes, sir, you don't know that this marriage between the two families was decided by Old Lady Bai, and the wedding date is also on the eighth of next month."

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo suddenly narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing from the depths of his pupils, and his hand on the table clenched involuntarily.

  "Yin Du, bring Blood Shadow back tonight and tell her that I have something to personally instruct her about!"

  ……

  The night is deep and people are quiet

  In one of the side halls of the White Mansion

  The room was illuminated by a Moonstone that Blood Shadow had somehow obtained, making it as bright as daytime.

  At the desk, a woman bowed her head, her fingers pinching a fine needle that was moving in and out of a small piece of fabric.

  The blood shadow stood expressionless beside him, guarding him. He looked at it for half a day and still couldn't tell what the opponent was embroidering.

  These people are all curious, let alone Xue Ying is here to supervise on orders, and Bai Xin Ran's every move she must figure out before reporting back to a certain master.

  "What is it that you are embroidering, princess?"

  "Hmph." Bai Xinzhu responded with two words without lifting her head. Her things were all in Maoshan Village, at the White Manor, although she had people to prepare her food and clothes, but this undergarment was not available.

  Her figure was originally underdeveloped, and only her breasts were somewhat attractive. If she didn't take good care of them, they would soon become saggy, and then she would be even less attractive.

  "What's a killer umbrella?" Blood Shadow's expression was calm, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. "What's the use of a killer umbrella?"

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng finally lifted his head, but his gaze fell on Blood Shadow's chest.

  I estimate it should be 34C.

  "It's for protecting women... " She raised an eyebrow and hinted with her eyes.

  Unfortunately, Blood Shadow didn't understand the meaning of White Heart's gaze, and his eyes stared straight at the thing in her hand made from two small pieces of cloth sewn together.

  Evil-repelling charm, it's supposed to be an evil-repelling amulet, but why has she never seen anything like this for self-defense before?

  "Your Highness, is this for defending against hidden weapons?"

  Pfft!

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xin's mouth twitched and he let out a strange cry. "......?!"

  Suppressing her smile, she rolled her eyes and nodded: "I suppose so."

  Does anti-wolf claw count as anti-hidden weapon?

  The blood shadow nodded slightly. She didn't expect the new queen to have such skills, and was actually able to make self-defense devices. If she were to report this to the king, he would probably be very interested too.

  I just don't know if this thing works or not?

  Two pieces of broken steps plus four thin straps, what kind of hidden weapon can they prevent?

  Xie Ying fell silent again, and Bai Xin also stopped paying attention to her, continuing to focus on sewing the clothes she wanted to wear. She had also thought it through, considering Xie Ying's efforts in taking care of her, and decided that one day she would make something for her too...

  It was already late at night when she finally put away her needle and thread. She let Blood Shadow take the Moonlight Pearl, then returned to bed.

  She was used to being alone and had no regular sleep schedule, nor would she fall asleep immediately. She always needed to roll over the quilt for a long time before falling asleep.

  Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, a faint sound suddenly made her brain snap back awake. She knew it couldn't be Blood Shadow at this hour!

  She slowed down her breathing and stood still with her back to the window, waiting for the person to approach.

  In the darkness, something was approaching her from behind, just as it was about to touch her skin, she suddenly flipped over and pounced on the other party.

  In an instant, she distinguished that the other party was a person, and his body shape was still a man. So, she used the "double insurance" method of pinching her neck and grasping the bird to grasp all the weak points of the opponent between her fingers.

  A man's light cough and a gasp for air echoed from above.

  Digression

  Just popping in, don't worry girls, follow the plot, there will be abuse, fluff, and all sorts of things! Group hug (╯3╰)
