Seventy-eight ink hair angry

  The hall

  Xue Ying stood up and stood behind Bai Xineru, guarding Bai Xineru and Bai Xinbi as they spoke.

  "Is there something important that has brought Madam He to see me today?" Looking at Bai Xinbi, who had suddenly become gentle, Bai Xinchuan felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Was this act not also too fake? Or had she changed her ways and become a new person?

  The way Baek Hyeon-ji addressed her and referred to herself clearly reminded Baek Hyeon-ji of the huge gap between their current statuses. If it were in the past, Baek Hyeon-ji would have probably lost her temper at her condescending tone. But today, not only did she not get angry, but also welcomed her with a smile, looking like she was willingly offering herself to be beaten by others. This made Baek Hyeon even more suspicious that she had recently practiced some sort of endurance technique.

  "Sister, I came this time mainly to see you, sister, and to apologize for past mistakes."

  Bai Xinbi suddenly stood up and walked to Bai Xiran's side, kneeling down and bowing her head in repentance:

  "In the past, I was too self-willed and didn't put my sister in my eyes, making her suffer a lot of grievances. Now that I think about it, I regret it deeply and even hate my selfishness and heartlessness. As sisters born to the same mother, we should be close and loving, but because of my selfishness, our relationship has become estranged... Sister, for Mother's sake, can you forgive me?"

  Bai Xin was stunned, sitting directly on the chair. To be honest, she had never seen such a scene before. It should be said that in her two lifetimes, she had never encountered any relatives asking for forgiveness, which really left her at a loss.

  The woman on the ground had a face that was exactly the same as hers, with a delicate and moving appearance, making it hard not to feel pity for her, and for an instant, her heart was touched.

  This cry of "sister" evoked too many unpleasant memories in her heart. Those lonely scenes from past lives and this life, those days forgotten by others. What a heart-wrenching feeling it is.

  But she was a rational person who valued reason over emotion.

  It's not that she is indifferent to her biological sister, nor is it because she holds herself too high and looks down on others. It's just that she hasn't been kind enough to easily soften her heart towards others' kindness.

  It is said that when there are strange signs in the sky, monsters will appear, and when there are strange signs on a person, ghosts will stir. In her eyes, the woman with a remorseful face in front of her was a case of being possessed by a ghost.

  "What are you doing?" White Heart Stain frowned and called out to Blood Shadow, "Blood Shadow, quickly help her up."

  The blood shadow's expressionless face, however, seemed to have steeled itself for a request for forgiveness from White Heart. She struggled free from the Blood Shadow's virtual grasp and tearfully said to White Heart, "Sister, please forgive Bixia. I know I was wrong, and in the future, I will never dare be rude to you again. I truly know my mistake, and if you don't forgive me, Mother's spirit in heaven won't forgive me either."

  “……” Bai Xin's face turned pale as she pressed her lips together and fell silent. A moment later, she finally spoke up, "You can get up now, I forgive you." They were never real sisters to begin with, so it wasn't about forgiving or not forgiving, but if she wanted to hear those words, then she wouldn't be stingy with them either.

  "Sister..." Her eyes were filled with tears, Bai Xinbi raised her head, and on her face was a mixture of surprise, delight, and gratitude, an expression that conveyed she was both unexpected and grateful.

  Bai Xin let out a sigh and stood up from his chair, walking over to her and personally helping her up with a bow.

  "You also said we are sisters of the same mother, and you sincerely came to confess and apologize to me. How could I still bear a grudge against you for things that have already passed?"

  Bai Xinbi wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and said gratefully, "I didn't expect my sister to be so understanding... I was too narrow-minded in the past."

  Let her sit on the guest chair, and Bai Xintong continued to say: "Okay, let bygones be bygones. I didn't take it to heart, and you shouldn't think about it all day either. From now on, we two sisters will just get along with each other."

  Her face was filled with tears and laughter, her smile full of emotion and joy.

  The two quickly put aside their past grievances, just like ordinary brothers and sisters who quarrel and make up immediately, as if what happened before had never existed for them.

  And this situation made Bai Xin's mood obviously better, her smile more beautiful, and her words even softer.

  "Sister, I heard from Yu Hao that you've been treating him really well these days. It's making me so envious."

  She called out "sister" one after another, making Bai Xin's skin crawl. Not wanting to continue the sentimental conversation, she changed the subject: "Yesterday Yu Hao had a fright, and I couldn't leave this side either, so I don't know how he is now, has he calmed down?"

  As she spoke, a worried look floated onto Bai Xin's face: "I also heard about what happened yesterday and I'm worried about Yu Hao." After a pause, she suddenly said, "Sister, why don't we go take a look at Yu Hao together? He Ge is not a good person, he wouldn't let me return to the White Manor even though my third brother was injured. Today, when I told him I came to find you, sister, he finally let me out. I want to ask you to accompany me to the White Manor, do you have time?"

  Upon hearing this, a hint of cold intent flashed quickly through Bai Xin's eyes.

  She looked up and said to Bai Xin with a hint of apology: "I may have disappointed my sister. Recently, many things have happened, and the prince has issued an order for me to stay indoors to ensure my safety. Without his permission, I can't go anywhere."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xin's face revealed a hint of disappointment.

  "Little sister, don't worry. Although I'm under house arrest, Blood Shadow can come and go freely. Since you're so worried about Third Brother, I'll let Blood Shadow accompany you to the White Manor."

  Bai Xin fell silent for a moment, her eyes cast downward in thought. Then she nodded gently: "So be it, I suppose He Ming knows you're the one accompanying me to the White Manor, so he won't make things too difficult for me. In that case, Bi'er will take her leave first. Otherwise, if she's away from home for too long, He Ming will start looking for her again."

  Bai Xinze didn't say much, smiling as he sent her off, and also had Xue Ying bring some gifts to take to the White Manor, which was his way of consoling Bai Yuhao.

  To be honest, she still wants to go to the White House to see Bai YuHao, but recently there have been too many things happening, which makes her not dare to go out casually now. Her own man is already busy enough, if something unexpected happens to her now, he will go crazy.

  Not long after sending off Bai Xinbi, suddenly saw Huiying return, Bai Xiner couldn't help but curiously ask: "What's going on? Weren't you supposed to accompany her to the White Manor? How did you come back?"

  In her impression, Xue Ying had always been a obedient person. As long as she was assigned tasks, she never refused, let alone showed any emotions, and was willing to be ordered around like an ox or a horse.

  It's just been a few minutes, how did you come back? You shouldn't have!

  Xue Ying walked up to her and replied expressionlessly: "Your Highness, Madame He has fainted."

  Bai Xin was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and asked: "Where is she? Why didn't you bring her back?"

  What kind of thing is this? Don't tell me it's intentional to find fault with her! If something happens to a good person here, she won't be able to explain herself no matter how hard she tries.

  Xue Ying still looked the same, his eyebrows didn't even furrow. "Madam He is at the main gate, I had someone guard it."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xin's eyes turned red at the corners and he took a sharp breath. "!!!!"

  Is this girl too heartless?

  Is she also afraid of being blackmailed?

  Everyone is dizzy, she actually abandoned him at the gate and made him wait...

  Helpless laughter, Bai Xin still rushed to the gate.

  As expected, Bai Xinbi was lying on the ground in a very indecent posture, and not far from her side, there were two guards standing like wooden stakes.

  At this sight, Bai Xinzhen once again shed a strand of black hair.

  Should I say those who claim to be from the royal palace have no love or should I say they are too cunning?

  Let Blood Shadow take Bai Xinbi to a side room, and let the guard go invite a doctor to another courtyard. Bai Xinchun stood by the bed, watching the doctor take Bai Xinbi's pulse.

  "Doctor, how is she? Why did she suddenly faint?" Bai Xintian hastily asked as he saw the doctor withdraw his hand.

  Only by getting to the bottom of the reason can we have an account to give to He's family.

  The doctor bowed and said respectfully: "In response to the princess's words, this lady is not seriously ill, but she is pregnant."

  Hearing this, Bai Xin was stunned: "Good news? Are you sure?"

  Despite being questioned, the doctor remained calm and respectful: "Please report back to the princess, I can confirm that it's just that this pulse is somewhat unstable. It seems that the lady has been overworked lately. Please ask the princess to inform her to rest more in bed to avoid any harm to the fetus."

  Bai Xin furrowed his brow and nodded at the doctor: "Thank you, Doctor. I'll let him know."

  She sent the doctor away and had Xue Ying hurry to the He manor to inform He Ming to come and pick her up, but He Ming was not in the manor, so Xue Ying could only return empty-handed.

  Bai Xinzhi couldn't help but cry and laugh at the same time, wanting to knock on her forehead twice.

  Why is this girl so stubborn? Gu He Ming isn't here, just let someone else come and pick her up!

  What kind of words would be said to a pregnant woman in her own home?

  From Liu Xue Lan to Bai Xin Ran, her own home is almost becoming a shelter.

  After a whole morning of fussing about, I had already missed the time for lunch. When Yan Mo Yu came back, she found me eating in my room and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

  "How come you're just using it now?"

  Bai Xin sighed and told him about what had happened with Bai Xinbi in the mansion.

  Although Yan Mo didn't express his opinion, his handsome face remained gloomy and cold, looking displeased.

  "By the way, is there any news?" After finishing this matter, she hurriedly asked about the search for people.

  Yan Mo let out a sigh, her thin lips pursed again before she said: "It's possible that the terrain at the foot of the cliff is too bad, up until now, the people I sent have gone down smoothly, but they still haven't found anyone."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xin's eyebrows relaxed slightly: "Not finding them is also a good thing, it means they're still alive."

  "I hope so."

  As he watched her finish her meal, and the blood shadow carefully collected the bowls and plates to take out, he pulled Bai Xiner into his arms and suddenly said to her: "The Emperor wants to make my origins known to the world."

  "Ah?" Bai Xinzhi was suddenly startled, "Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

  He furrowed his thick eyebrows and pursed his thin lips into a straight line.

  The couple just stared at each other in silence, both seeing the helplessness in each other's eyes.

  After a long time, Bai Xin's laughter finally came out: "Look at us, isn't this just making your identity public? This is a good thing, why are you acting like you're about to be executed? My man will be impressive in the future, and I'll also benefit from it!"

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo's mouth twitched slightly. He raised his hand to stroke her somewhat forced smile, and asked with a hint of displeasure: "Do you feel wronged now that I'm like this?"

  Bai Xinzhen pulled his fingers down and put them in her mouth, biting them gently. She said seriously: "If you marry a chicken follow the chicken, if you marry a dog follow the dog. When you're glorious I'm glorious, when you're happy I'm happy. Even if you don't have any of these things, you are still my man. What grievances do I have? Unless..."

  "What if?"

  "Unless you fall in love with someone else or have another man." The emperor's intention was beyond her guess, and it would be better to say that she didn't believe the emperor rather than saying she didn't believe her own husband. From now on, he would be a real prince, a true prince, in this polygamous society, even if he could be faithful to one woman, but what about the emperor? Would the emperor allow his own son to marry only one woman... and that's a woman who may not be able to bear children...

  It's not hard to see that she was somewhat sad when saying these words, and even the gaze in her eyes hid a distrust of him. As if he had already done something terribly wrong at this moment, which made Yan Moyu feel very uncomfortable in his heart, the arm wrapped around her shoulders suddenly tightened, and the low voice also revealed a hint of tension.

  "As a husband, I have never wronged you and will not do anything that would wrong you. Why must you make things difficult for yourself?"

  Perhaps it was his tension that made Bai Xincheng's nose suddenly turn sour: "But he is your father, he can have so many women, how could you possibly only have me?"

  "I didn't take him as my father!" Yan Mo Yu suddenly growled, holding her face, with a certain firmness and determination in the bottom of his black eyes: "No one can interfere with my decision, even if he can't! If he really wants to force me, then I would rather give up this throne and take you away. These years of loyalty to him have only brought about his arbitrary control, and I will not accept it. He may be a high-ranking emperor, but in my eyes, he is just a man who is looked down upon by me!"

  Finally, he hugged her and whispered in her ear: "Ran'er, believe me, no one can control us. If there really is such a day, I don't mind going against the heavens!"

  If someone really doesn't know what's good for them and comes to ruin everything, he'll fight with all his might to take that position back!

  At that time, no one will dare to control them!

  Bai Xin laughed. "Good! If anyone dares to ruin our relationship as husband and wife, we'll kill them all!"

  There's nothing in this world that can't be done, if she gets to live another life, she will definitely be selfish once!

  For her words that seemed both serious and joking, Yan Mo was left crying and laughing at the same time. He was actually being serious!

  This woman is just so helpless against him...

  He found her red lips and passionately kissed them...

  It wasn't until both of them were panting that Bai Xincheng suddenly remembered there was someone else in the side room.

  "Moyu, I think it's better if I send Madame He back instead? Having her here makes me feel uneasy."

  His deep eyes suddenly sank: "I'll have someone send her back, no need for you to go personally."

  Bai Xin shook his head: "I'll go instead, she's pregnant now and the doctor said she has a phenomenon of miscarriage. If we let others send her, they are all rough people, if they accidentally bump into her, we can't afford it."

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo fell silent for a moment before finally nodding: "Alright then, I'll have Blood Shadow bring more people to accompany you."

  "Good." Bai Xincheng nodded in agreement.

  The two of them talked for a while in the room, and then Bai Xincheng went to the temporary resting room where Bai Xinbi was. As soon as he entered, he saw that Bai Xinbi had already woken up and was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze.

  When she saw Bai Xin dyeing, Bai Xin Bi was obviously startled, her expression not only tense but also with a hint of guard. But this panic was quickly hidden by her, and she restored her gentleness.

  "Sister."

  Bai Xin nodded at her with a slight squint in his eyes and walked over, stopping one meter away. His gaze fell on her flat abdomen.

  "Do you know that you're pregnant?" Originally, it wasn't her place to say such things, but after all, the other person was also about to become a mother, so she had the right to know her own physical condition at the first time.

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xinbi suddenly widened her eyes and had a look of being frightened out of her wits. Her gaze abruptly became startled.

  "What? I'm pregnant?!"

  “……” Bai Xin's mouth twitched. She really wanted to say, "Sister, it's normal to be excited about being pregnant, but don't make such a scary face! Don't you see there's someone here who wants to get pregnant but can't?"

  Is this intentionally pulling hate value?

  It seems that women who are good at arguing are more popular these days?

  She didn't understand where her confusion came from.

  At this moment, Bai Xingbi didn't have the heart to care about Bai Xingran, sitting on the edge of the bed with her fingers twisting the silk handkerchief in her hand, her mind churning like waves.

  Fortunately, she had dismissed her maid halfway when she came out today, otherwise it would have been passed on to the He family...

  This child...

  He Ming would never let her give birth!

  "Sister..." Perhaps realizing her own loss of composure, Bai Xingbi suppressed the tension and unease in her heart, quickly collecting her emotions, and looked at Bai Xingran with pleading eyes. "Bai'er has something to ask of you."

  Bai Xin raised an eyebrow: "What is it?" Although she didn't quite trust this woman, considering that the other was pregnant, she reluctantly agreed to listen and see what she wanted.

  "Can you keep this secret for me for a while?"

  "What...?!" Bai Xincheng looked puzzled.

  "Now He Ming still doesn't know that I'm pregnant. I want to wait for a good day to tell him in person, can you keep it a secret for the time being?"

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xin was taken aback for a moment, and her gaze became somewhat complicated. However, she still agreed to this not-so-demanding request.

  "Okay."

  She is the mother of the child, she wants to give the father of the child a surprise, which can also be understood. Anyway, she is not someone who likes gossip, even if she doesn't ask for herself, she won't go around spreading news about other people's pregnancy.

  But she couldn't understand why women wouldn't be excited beyond control when they're pregnant?

  She didn't see any joy on Bai Xinbi's face, and instead asked her to keep it a secret for her, which seems a bit illogical?

  In a wealthy and noble family, a woman's status is even more evident through her children. Normally, one would expect them to be eager for others to know, but here appears an oddity, who is afraid of others finding out that she is pregnant.

  Strange things happen every day, but I didn't expect today to have so many.

  "You rest for a while first, the doctor said that your fetus is not stable, and you need to take good care of yourself. A little later, I'll send you back to He Fu." After saying a few words in a light tone, Bai Xincheng turned around and walked out of the room.

  Towards this woman, she has always been on her guard. Now that she is pregnant, she wants to stay away from her even more. It's not that she wants to treat her own relatives with caution, but these relatives are all like monsters and ghosts, doing things that make people want to vomit blood.

  What if this woman gets into an accident or something and has a kid to compensate her?

  Watching Bai Xincheng leave, Bai Xinbi still clutched the handkerchief, and the emotions in her heart were finally completely released. Her face turned pale again, and even her eyes were slightly red.

  She really didn't dare to imagine He Ming's reaction after knowing about this child, the only thing he could be sure of was that He Ming would absolutely not allow this child to appear in this world.

  But she wants to give birth to this child...

  What should she do to give birth to this child?

  She placed her hand on her lower abdomen, trembling nonstop, she never thought that she would become pregnant...

  ……

  Deep in the valley

  Deep in the forest, two figures walked one after another. The woman was leading the way, carefully and cautiously taking each step, her posture not very good-looking either.

  The man followed behind, and since dawn, that handsome face had become as ugly as if he had eaten a fly. His angry gaze stared at the woman's back, almost piercing several holes in her back.

  Looking at the woman's strong and cold figure, his finger joints were almost pinched off, he wanted to rush over and hug her several times, but every time he stretched out his hand, he stopped in his tracks.

  He didn't expect this woman to be so stubborn, it wasn't just indifference, but could even be said that she hated her.

  Ignoring him and leaving him alone, she still wanted to abandon him in this deep mountain and old valley at dawn. Isn't she afraid that something unexpected will happen to him here?

  Until the figure in front of him swayed, he took a swift step forward and firmly hugged the person to his chest, and the anger that had been accumulating all morning suddenly erupted.

  "Liu Xuelan! Have you had enough?!"

  He told her he wanted to make up with her, but she didn't respond at all and even tried to abandon him.

  "Let go!" Liu Xue Lan growled in a low voice, frowning as she smelled the fragrance of mint on his body.

  Xia Li Xun let go of her, but didn't release his grip, instead placing both hands on her shoulders, looking down at this short-tempered woman who was as stubborn as a cow. Especially after seeing the disgusted look on her face, he felt inexplicably annoyed and irritated in his heart, wishing to fight with her immediately to vent his anger.

  "I've said so many good things to you, what more do you want? Tell me, how can I make it right with you and not incur your wrath?"

  She lowered her eyelids, took a deep breath, and glanced at his iron-like hands. She fell silent for a moment before raising her head to look at him coldly: "Prince Gongde, I'm just a street urchin, how can I afford to get angry with someone as important as you? Don't humiliate yourself here."

  "Liuxue Lan!" Xia Lihuan roared, his eyes suddenly turning gloomy. He didn't know why, but as soon as she mentioned her former identity, he felt like a huge boulder was weighing on his heart, making him feel unbearably uncomfortable.

  For his anger, Liu Xue Lan also couldn't control her calmness. Staring at the face that once made her infatuated, she also growled: "Summer surname, can you not be so crazy? I, Xiao Jiaozi, am still a person, not a thing, do you think I'm one of those women who come and go at your beck and call? Over the years, in front of you, I've wasted my emotions, wasted my youth, and even humiliated myself by constantly entangling with you. I've almost become inhuman. Now that I finally want to be a normal woman, why don't you roll away? Why come to me and go crazy?"

  Looking at her ferocious appearance, it was a familiar look, but never had he felt so uncomfortable. He missed the way she used to be, but now he didn't want to see her like this at all. His eyes fluttered as he carefully pulled her into his arms, but after opening his mouth several times, he still didn't know what to say.

  It was he who used to want to drive her away, detest her, and even wish that he would never see her again. But when the day finally came, he found himself feeling empty inside, as if a very important part of him was missing.

  He regretted it!

  Liu Xuelan's face was furious as she thought of pushing him away.

  Seeing this, Xia Lixuan's face turned cold and she suddenly lowered her head. Before she even had time to react, he kissed her on the mouth.

  For an instant, both of them were stunned.

  Reacting quickly, Liu Xuelan suddenly narrowed her eyes and raised her hand swiftly, disregarding the wound on her back.

  But in mid-air, his hand was caught by the man's large hand and her two hands were handcuffed behind her back with one hand holding both of her wrists.

  The unfamiliar tactile sensation, the unfamiliar breath, and the unfamiliar emotions suddenly made Liu Xue Lan's mind go blank.

  A gust of wind blew by, and she suddenly came back to her senses, bending her leg in preparation to kick the man.

  Xia Li Xun suddenly grabbed her foot with his free hand, then lifted her body up and hung it between his legs, lowering his head to kiss her passionately.

  His mouth was not fluent, and it could be said that he was clumsy and a bit ridiculous. Other emotions came too late for Liu Xue to discover, only knowing that she was bitten very painfully, this pain made her feel that the other party was just taking revenge on her, so after eating the pain, her originally thin anger became even more furious, opening her mouth without mercy and biting towards the opponent -

  The former fist and foot combat has turned into a war of words, with neither side willing to show weakness, each wanting the other to surrender.

  In the end, when the two parted ways, both corners of their lips were stained with blood, and it was unclear whose it was.

  Anger returned with anger, hatred returned with hatred. After they stopped, the two of them panting, Liu Xue Lan turned her head to one side in indignation.

  Xia Lixun had been feeling a bit unwell in his heart, after all, it was the first time he kissed a girl, and not only did he not get much sweetness from it, but he was also bitten by her until his mouth was sore. However, suddenly, looking at the red ear in front of him, he raised the corners of his lips high, and his mood inexplicably improved.

  "Cough, cough, cough..." She coughed a few times, trying to make her voice sound normal, and coaxed the woman with the red ears in a rare good temper: "Are we making up?"

  Liu Xue Lan suddenly realized she was still hanging on him and immediately started struggling. "Put me down!"

  Xia Liwen held her tighter, his face turning a bit unsightly.

  I didn't know who was running around to provoke him all day, and now it's good that they've even kissed and hugged, and he's even seen her body, but she still wants to draw a line with him.

  What is he? Anyone can touch him casually?!

  He held her in his arms, his face cold and silent, walking slowly towards a flat area.

  "Hey Xia! Are you deaf or something?"

  "Shut up! Do you believe I'll deal with you right here if you keep making noise?!" Is this woman an idiot? Can't she see that he's fuming from head to toe?!

  If it weren't for this place being beneath him, he would have really taken care of that woman. Saving her from thinking about marrying another man all day long!

  As expected, this threatening tone was effective. Liu Xue Lan bit her lip and didn't know why not only her ears turned red, but also her cheeks flushed with a reddish glow.

  He didn't put down Liu Xue Lan until he found a slightly cleaner rock.

  "Sit here for a while, I'll go find something to eat. Don't even think about leaving without me, or you won't be able to walk for the rest of your life!" The man threatened with a vicious tone before he left.

  Watching the man's back disappear into the distance, Liu Xue Lan didn't know why, but she only felt a sourness in her nose. She wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand, and found that the back of her hand was all wet.

  After a long time, the man finally returned. Seeing that the woman was still sitting in the same place, his lips involuntarily curled up.

  As he walked closer and saw the woman's red eyes, his face suddenly turned cold.

  "I didn't abandon you, why are you crying?"

  Just as those slender white fingers were about to touch her eyes, Liu Xuelan turned her head.

  The man's hand froze in mid-air, his handsome face dark and gloomy. After a moment, he withdrew his hand and pulled out two bright red mountain fruits from his bosom, placing them before the woman's eyes.

  "Eat up, don't know how long it'll take to get out, can't starve to death on the road."

  Liu Xuelan was stunned, her long eyelashes still wet with tears, and she trembled before reaching out to take one of the mountain fruits into her own hands.

  As she heard the crisp sound of biting into a fruit, she suddenly raised her head to look at the man who was biting into it, with a flash of disbelief and confusion in her eyes. Would he also eat these things?

  Xia Li Xun seemed to have not seen her reaction, and a mountain fruit was quickly bitten by him. After throwing away the remaining core, he sat down beside the woman, using his eyes to indicate that she should hurry up and eat.

  "What's wrong with you? Do you want to starve to death?"

  Looking at his dirty brocade robe, Liu Xue Lan shifted her gaze away and slowly took a bite.

  The fruit wasn't very sweet and was raw, she didn't know if it was ripe or not. She had never seen this kind of fruit before, but in order to fill her empty stomach, she had no choice but to eat what he gave her.

  Just as she had bitten into a fruit, she suddenly heard a low humming noise coming from the man beside her.

  She turned her head and saw that the man who hated him to the bone had furrowed his brow, even holding his stomach with both hands, looking very uncomfortable.

  She was stunned for a moment, and after seeing the man's thick eyebrows furrowed tighter, she quickly threw away the fruit pit in her hand and turned to ask him: "What are you doing? Do you want to pull your stomach?"

  Upon hearing this, Xia Lixun's handsome face suddenly turned dark.

  He pursed his thin lips tightly, trying not to make a sound in response to the unreasonable woman's inquiry.

  This scene also furrowed Liu Xue Lan's brow. Thinking of the fruit she had eaten earlier, she touched her own belly, no problem!

  She didn't realize that something was wrong with him until she saw the fine sweat on his forehead and his pale face.

  This man would never show his embarrassment in front of others!

  She pried open his hands covering his stomach, her small hands covered them, and she watched his reaction with a tense gaze.

  "Does it hurt here? Or does it hurt here?"

  The man gritted his teeth, seemingly in great discomfort, not making a sound, but those two thick eyebrows twisted more and more, his complexion turned paler and paler, the sweat on his forehead grew denser.

  Seeing this, Liu Xue Lan couldn't care about anything else anymore, and pressed him down on a large stone, starting to untie the belt around his waist.

  When she pressed her hands on his abdomen, the old man finally let out two "hmm"s.

  Liu Xue Lan couldn't guess where he was hurt, her palm pressed on his abdomen, but his eyebrows seemed to have never relaxed. This time, she was really anxious in her heart, and even the eye sockets turned red, unable to bear it, she shouted at the man:

  "What's wrong with you? You'd better say it! What's the use of just humming?"

  I've never seen a man so sensitive, if there's something uncomfortable just say it, why are you still enduring at this time?!

  Suddenly, an arm wrapped around her neck and pulled her in, instantly making her lean against him.

  Raising her eyes to look at the smile in the man's eyes, Liu Xue Lan was taken aback for a moment before reacting and suddenly getting angry.

  "You dare to cheat me, you with the surname Xia?!" Tears squeezed out of her eyes and fell onto the man's face.

  "How dare you say you don't care about me?" His fingers landed on the corner of her eye, stroking away the scorching tears that kept welling up. The man's low and slow question was filled with a gentle magnetism he had never shown before.

  Nor did she know what had triggered her emotions, but suddenly she opened her mouth and burst into tears.

  Those sobs were heart-wrenching, as if trying to vent all the emotions in her heart through this crying. In this quiet mountain valley, it not only sounded loud but also had a haunting echo that sent shivers down one's spine.

  The fierce-looking woman suddenly burst into tears like a child, and Xia Lixun was stunned.

  When he came back to his senses, he was suddenly struggled free by the woman. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist.

  "Let go!"

  "Will you follow me from now on?" He blurted out as he looked at her red and swollen eyes.

  Taking a deep breath, Liu Xuelan tried to suppress the lump in her throat and looked up at him with a cold gaze, sarcastically asking: "Follow you? As your concubine or little wife?"

  Xia Lixun narrowed his eyes.

  "I, Liu Xuelan, may be worthless, but I have my dignity. Just because I've let myself be trampled on for seven years doesn't mean I'll spend the rest of my life being trampled on. There are plenty of men out there, and with Old Man Liu's indulgence towards me, he wouldn't object to me marrying anyone else. Clearly, I could be someone else's wife, enjoying a man who belongs only to me, so why should I follow you and share a man with other women?"

  Xia Lixun's handsome face turned cold, with a hint of sinister intent in his eyes. His thin lips became hard and cold: "Do you think I would let you marry another man?"

  "Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Liu Xue Lan suddenly let out a cold laugh, looking at him with eyes full of indifference. "I'm familiar with the Duke's methods, you don't need to threaten me here. I, Liu Xue Lan, have a life that's not as fearful of death as you think."

  "Liu Xuelan!" Xia Lixun suddenly growled. Looking at the woman's determined face, he suddenly flipped over and jumped up, holding her captive in his arms. "What do you want? Can't you stop tormenting people like this? I've already apologized, what more do you want me to do?"

  "One husband and one wife, no concubines, no mistresses. Belonging only to me. If you can do it, I'll be with you. Otherwise, please roll away as far as you can, don't block my happiness."

  "YOU!" Xia Lixuan glared at her with wide eyes, somewhat incredulous, and shouted, "This is purely absurd!"

  I ask you, is there such a man in this world?

  Is this woman crazy?

  Liu Xue Lan closed her mouth, and despite the fact that his arms were tightly wrapped around her, she slowly pried them open and struggled free from his embrace.

  She lifted her head, sniffed, and walked forward step by step.

  She believes that her future is like the current situation, as long as she moves forward, she will definitely be able to go to where she wants to go, and she will definitely see the fiery sunrise. This deep mountain valley, she no longer wants to set foot in it again...

  ……

  The Summer Palace

  It was already past the time for dinner, but the woman who had gone out had not returned. In the study, Mo Yan felt somewhat restless and uneasy in his heart, which made him lose interest in the pile of documents on his desk that were as high as a small mountain.

  It stands to reason that the round trip should take no more than an hour, but two hours have passed and there is still no sign of return. Yin Du and Xue Ying also went together, with not a single person returning, even several dark guards were sent out...

  "Come in!"

  The door was opened and a guard came in, asking respectfully: "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

  "Send someone to the Shangshu Mansion and bring Princess Wang back." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and changed his tone coldly, "Prepare a carriage, I will go myself."

  The guard took orders and went to make arrangements.

  As I watched, the sky had already darkened, and in my heart, it was as if a blackness had enveloped me, with an inexplicable sense of suffocation.

  As soon as he stepped out of the gate, before he could even get on his horse carriage, a figure suddenly dropped down from above. Sensing that the other party had no intention to kill, he quickly dodged and gave a cold stare.

  "Father... something's happened..." Yin Du fell to the ground and weakly spoke a few words before fainting.

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo's expression changed drastically in an instant. He took a step forward, grabbed Yin Du's collar and shook him violently, asking in a cold voice: "Where is she? Where is that person?"

  Unfortunately, no matter how he shook her, Yin Du didn't have any reaction at all.

  Looking at Yin Du, whose clothes were neat and without any signs of fighting, Yan Mo's eyes flashed with a dark light, and his body was surrounded by a thick cold air, which made the guards who followed him can't help but shiver.

  "Come! Hurry to Mei Ren Zhuang! Bring Wu Ming to me!"
