Forty-five bows with tea

  It wasn't until that warm body covered her again and the scorching temperature seared her that she suddenly came to.

  "Scared?" The scorching breath blew against her ear, Yan Mo Yu took in all of her expressions, and looking at her frail body, he also had some doubts - could she withstand him?

  His lips fell on her small, delicate ears again, and the wet sensation made her body tremble involuntarily. He pressed against her thighs without hindrance, but she wanted to escape, only to be held tightly by him.

  Both of them have become like this, if she still can't see reality clearly, then she might as well be dead.

  "Give me a reason?" She couldn't convince herself to give in to him unless there was a reason, so that she wouldn't regret it afterwards.

  "...". Yan Mo looked at her face with a puzzled gaze, his eyes carrying a spark of confusion.

  "What's your excuse!" Dead man, pretending to be innocent!

  "......?!" He understood her meaning, and Yan Mo's forehead had some black lines. This woman, can't she gently accept him? With reason, he naturally liked her, that's why he wanted her.

  Thinking of what a certain man had said, Bai Xinzhi sneered and curled up his lips: "I don't know who said it, but with this body of mine, others simply aren't interested."

  The man remained silent.

  "I don't even know who said it, but I'm short and only have skin on my bones, so people just look down on me."

  The man remained silent.

  His tight-lipped expression made Bai Xindian's hair stand on end, and he struggled to free his hands, pushing him away. Panting with anger and embarrassment, he growled: "Are you mute or something? Is it so hard for you to say you like me? Those words of disdain were all said by you yourself! Now that you've stripped me clean, I want to ask you, with a body like mine, where do you get the nerve? If you have the guts, don't touch me!"

  She's fed up!

  From the very beginning, this man had no intention of letting her go. No, it should be said that from the second time he entered Mashan Village, this man had thoughts about her.

  He tried every means to keep her by his side, from binding her legs at the beginning to make her stay in the camp, to the imperial edict of marriage, his purpose was so obvious step by step, she couldn't see it.

  She just didn't want to face it.

  But now she wants to face it and have a good talk with him, but his mom suddenly became silent.

  Since he is willing to put so much thought and effort into it for her, can't he spare a single word 'like'?

  Watching her flustered and even embarrassed appearance, Yan Mo was first stunned, then suddenly understood her meaning, his heart filled with joy, causing him to forget what he wanted to say, directly sealing her lips, passionately kissing her.

  Bai Xin was determined to let him speak his mind, and seeing how excited and anxious he looked, she felt even more infuriated. With both hands grasping that handsome face, she pushed him away with all her might.

  Her temperature was gone from his lips, and Yan Mo Yu felt somewhat displeased. He pulled down her hands and tightly hugged her whole body, his handsome face rubbing against her cheek with a low, husky voice that had a hint of coaxing: "You know I like you, so why do you have to refuse me again?"

  "I don't need anyone's liking, I can also live very well."

  Hearing the sob in her voice, Yan Mo's eyes sank, and she straightened her face, her forehead against hers, asking softly: "You're scared, aren't you?"

  "Mind your own business!" Bai Xinzhi pressed both hands against his chest and continued pushing him.

  "Afraid that I will let you down, and even be inferior to the people of the Bai family?" He had long been vaguely feeling that she was intentionally avoiding him. Connecting her birth and growth environment, he could easily imagine her concerns in her heart. Therefore, he did not give her a way out, forcing her to accept this marriage even if she didn't want to."

  She gazed into his deep eyes, seeing the pain and tenderness he held for her at the bottom of them, and Bai Xinzhen bit her lip and fell silent.

  "Fool..." His large hand stroked her delicate face, he was like the most gentle lover in the world, whispering, "What kind of person do you think I am? Hmm?"

  Bai Xin's mind was a blank, and it wasn't until then that she remembered his name was Yan Mo Yu. Xue Ying had refused to tell her the man's name no matter what. And she couldn't go ask other people what Cheng Wang's surname and given name were.

  Her face turned slightly red as she looked away with a hint of embarrassment.

  "Who knows what kind of person you are? Xue Ying told me that there are many women in your mansion."

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo's eyes dimmed slightly, and it seemed that she finally understood why she had been rejecting and avoiding his touch time and again.

  She straightened her face and he asked somewhat discontentedly: "But you still don't want to believe me?"

  Bai Xin's eyes locked onto his, "How can I believe you're not playing with me?"

  "I glared at her, my anger simmering: 'If I just wanted to play with you, that night in Wushan I would have taken you directly, then patted your butt and left. Do you think I still need to let the imperial edict summon you back to the capital?'"

  Bai Xin's face turned red and she fell silent. What he said was also true, the second time he came to Mao Shan village, it became even more obvious, still thick-skinned wanting to stay at her house, and insisted on letting her spend the night in the camp... If he really had playful thoughts, he would have played himself out and disappeared long ago.

  "Xian'er." He suddenly called out intimately.

  Her white face turned red as she blinked her eyelashes and looked at him with a twisted expression, asking in an ill-tempered tone: "What's the matter?" How embarrassing to be called like that!

  "Give you to me?" He had wanted her for quite some days now.

  He didn't say anything, but as soon as he did, Bai Xin's cheeks suddenly turned bright red. Damn it, what was she thinking?! She was actually hugging him tightly and chatting with him!

  As she suddenly flushed, Yan Mo's thin lips rose, and the fiery heat in his black eyes surged again. He didn't give her a chance to resist, and instantly kissed her red lips, depriving her of the right to speak.

  "Ah—" She felt his increasingly skilled kiss, her heart racing wildly in her chest. The danger of the situation also made her tense up all over, not daring to relax even a little bit.

  This time's kiss, compared to the previous one, undoubtedly left her satisfied and sighing. Although she didn't say whether she liked him or not, at least now she dared to face him on her own initiative. These, for him, were already enough...

  This time, Bai Xinzhen didn't refuse him again. Today's her was indeed his prey in his words. She knew she couldn't escape, at least before being eaten away, what he said barely made her acceptable.

  It's just a thin membrane, as long as this man is really good to her, what's the harm in giving it to him?

  She raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck, gradually responding to him, entwining with his increasingly agile tongue, coming and going, throbbing in the hearts of the two people, constantly swelling, and their bodies also became hotter with this kiss.

  As she gasped for air, Yan Mo turned to kiss her slender neck, inch by inch of fragrant skin making his breathing more and more urgent and coarse. Hearing the gentle hum between her lips, his body swelled with pain.

  But the last bit of rationality told her that it was not possible for the time being, her body was so weak and frail that she could not withstand his ravings...

  From the nape of his neck to his collarbone, the gentle touch of his thin lips left deep and shallow impressions, one after another, all belonging to him. His pale body was like a flower petal, fragrant and enchanting...

  "Ah——" A tearing pain came, and Bai Xiner couldn't help but let out a sharp cry. Her body also began to tremble uncontrollably, waving her hands wanting to push him away, but she was held even tighter by him.

  "Good... just a little while longer..." Looking at the tears rolling down from her eyes due to the pain, Yan Mo Ye hugged her and cooed softly. He felt heartache and couldn't bear it, but he also couldn't let her go...

  Bai Xin's body trembled as she tightly hugged his neck, and the rarely crying her this time let tears flow non-stop.

  She herself can't even tell whether it's because of the pain or because of the grievance...

  "Don't cry......" Seeing her finally letting go, Yan Mo was delighted but also heartbroken. He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his lips and patted her smooth back while coaxing her, "Leave it to me, okay? Trust me, okay?"

  Through her hazy eyes, Bai Xin looked at the pain and tenderness in his eyes for herself, biting her lip, although it still hurt, she raised her hand to wipe away the fine sweat on his forehead.

  Her actions made Yan Mo Yu's last bit of sanity collapse, and he could no longer bear a certain pause. He suddenly couldn't help but kiss her.

  Leaving behind the numerous guests in the mansion, without even waiting for the sun to set, a certain gentleman had already taken down and thoroughly subdued a certain woman.

  Main Entrance of the Grand Hall

  Yin Du looked at the woman guarding the gate of the courtyard, her eyebrows furrowed in anger and indignation.

  "I'm telling you, woman, aren't you being too excessive? I am the leader of Master's personal guards, why won't you let me in?" Master had sent the new bride into the bridal chamber over half an hour ago and still hadn't come out. The old madam had sent him to take a look and also to urge Master to hurry up, but what was wrong with this woman? She refused to let him enter the courtyard no matter what he said.

  What's going on? The master of this house can come and go as he pleases!

  "Yin Huwei is still asking you to leave, Master has no time and won't see you." Xue Ying stood at the gate, expressionless, speaking to Yin Du.

  "How did you know I wasn't busy?" Yin Du glared back and asked. This woman not only didn't let him enter the courtyard, but also cleared out all the guards from the main courtyard. Now, in the master's courtyard, there were only the master, the queen, and this gate-keeping woman left.

  What is it that needs to be so secretive?

  Even if I were to spend the night with the princess now, there's no need to drive everyone out of the main courtyard!

  "Yin Huwei, retreat!" Blood Shadow didn't budge. He stood like a wooden stake, his voice icy cold.

  Yin Du clenched his fists. "The old lady asked me to come and call you over!" If it weren't for the fact that the other person was a woman, he really wanted to hit someone now.

  Not to mention competing with him for grandfather's favor, now she's even encroaching on his territory. Does this woman not know the meaning of the word 'shame'?

  "Grandfather is busy at the moment." Feeling his hostility, Blood Shadow narrowed his eyes and emphasized again.

  Just as the two were arguing and neither would back down, the groom appeared, his tall and stately figure wrapped in a red robe, exuding an indescribable charm and elegance that was unmatched. Especially with his cold and handsome face, at this moment, he was bathed in a warm glow, and his thick eyebrows and dark eyes were filled with joy.

  "Grandpa!" A man and a woman stopped arguing at once and called out in unison.

  Looking at her own father with a sly and guilty expression, Yin Du had already understood something.

  "Grandfather, you'd better hurry up and go to the front yard, the old lady has urged you several times already."

  "Blood Shadow." Ignoring Yin Du's urging, Yan Mo gave a faint glance with her ink-colored eyes to the side.

  "Grandfather, I'm here." Blood Shadow stepped forward, responding with an expressionless face.

  "The princess is tired and must not be disturbed by anyone. Whoever disobeys will be dealt with according to the old rules!"

  "Yes, Your Excellency!"

  She withdrew her gaze, and just as she was about to lift her foot, she suddenly thought of something and stopped again: "Order the kitchen to prepare some nourishing food, and wait for the princess to wake up and serve her."

  "Yes."

  Following Yan Mo's back, Yin Du's mouth corners twitched slightly. Did Grandfather actually consummate the marriage with the Princess ahead of schedule at this hour?

  It's still broad daylight!

  No wonder Blood Shadow wouldn't let him get close to the new house earlier, and now he's having someone make a substitute body, and that sentence "The princess is tired"...... Does Grandfather really have such urgent desire? Can't even wait until nightfall?

  。。。。。。

  Night falls

  Ministry of War

  If it's said that Bai Ri endured cruel treatment during the day, then at night, Bai Xinbi was as if trapped in hell.

  Looking at the man and woman entwined together on the bed, she felt nothing but disgust and a belly full of hatred.

  "Second Master... Second Master..." The voice of the maid on the bed grew higher and more alluring with each call.

  "Little magpie... shout louder... even louder..." The man galloped wildly with a wanton and frantic movement.

  Looking at the two of them with disgust, Bai Xin's eyes were filled with tears of endurance, her red lips had been bitten through the skin by herself, but she didn't seem to notice.

  Her hands were tied behind her back, she squatted in the corner of the bridal bed, humiliated to see her new husband and a maid doing what only couples could do on what was originally her own bridal bed.

  The scene before her stimulated her eyes, pierced her eardrums, and made her beautiful eyes bloodshot, as if a female ghost had possessed her.

  It's not that she cares about this man so much, on the contrary, she doesn't care at all!

  But when a man humiliated her in front of her, if it weren't for her hands and feet being tied up, she really wished to kill this disgusting pair of dog-like men!

  。。。。。。

  Under the same bright moonlight, the guests at Wang Fu's mansion also departed one after another. The lamps had already been lit in each courtyard.

  In the new house of the main courtyard, on the joyful big bed, a figure was covered under the quilt with only one head exposed, sleeping soundly and stably.

  The red candle flickered, casting a golden glow over everything in the room, making it seem as if a layer of gold had been traversed. The golden-red room was beautiful and magnificent, with warmth emanating from every corner.

  The man pushed open the door and strode quickly towards the bed, seeing that the woman was sleeping soundly, he slowed down his movements and sat down gently beside her.

  Tonight accompanied a few staff members and chatted for a while, thinking she would wake up early... previously afraid that it was really exhausting her.

  "Blood Shadow." He called out in a low voice towards the door.

  "Master, I'm here." Blood Shadow hadn't entered the door, but was responding from outside.

  "Bring the food made in the kitchen." Xue Ying said she had not woken up yet, so she hadn't eaten anything either. If I had known earlier, I should have let her fill her stomach first to make her happy.

  The blood shadow silently retreated.

  He lifted the quilt with one foot and stretched his hand in, the woman under the quilt was only wearing a thin camisole, which he had put on her. Thinking of this, a hint of pleasure flashed across the bottom of his deep eyes again.

  His large hand slowly moved up, almost touching the woman all over, before his arm finally passed through her neck, and he leaned in close to her ear, whispering: "Ran'er... it's time to wake up."

  But who would have thought that the woman not only didn't open her eyes, but instead turned over and lay with her back to him.

  As astute as he was, how could he not know that she had long been awake. Without exposing her, he closely followed with his chest pressed against her back, his thin lips began to wander on her neck, where there were marks left by him.

  "Get up and fill your belly before sleeping, okay?"

  Bai Xinzhen had actually woken up a long time ago. It's just that facing the situation in front of her, it would be better to say that she was regretful rather than saying she didn't dare face the reality of the relationship between the two people.

  Obviously didn't want to have anything to do with him, but ended up falling under his spell.

  She thought of the scenes before, her heart was filled with regret, but her face was flushed.

  Can't this dead man roll further away?

  Without waiting for her to retort, another arm suddenly wrapped around his waist and pulled him into a hug.

  Seeing this, Bai Xinzhen continued to close his eyes and pretend to be dead.

  Although she didn't get her response, seeing the beautiful small face with a flush of redness, Yan Mo's lips curled up in pleasure. This woman, at least still knows how to be shy, he thought she really had thick skin and didn't care about anything.

  The two of them didn't say a word, only hearing each other's gentle breathing, the atmosphere was quiet yet beautifully intoxicating to a certain man.

  Until Blood Shadow pushed the door open with a tray of food in hand——

  "Does your body still hurt? I had someone make some pain-relieving ginseng soup, and maybe after drinking it you'll feel a bit better." Bai Xinzhu stuck close to her ear, but Yan Mo didn't lower his voice, seemingly intentionally raising the volume to remind.

  As expected, Bai Xinzhen couldn't pretend to be dead in front of him anymore. With an extra person in the house, how could she not know?

  She lifted her eyelids and gave a cold stare.

  She propped herself up wanting to sit up from his embrace, but was held in place by his arm around her shoulder.

  "Bring it over." Chao Xueying instructed in a soft voice.

  Xue Ying still looked the same, neither happy nor angry. Even when a man and woman were embracing ambiguously in front of her, she seemed to have not seen it at all, her expression remaining calm and waveless.

  Restraining the good woman's body, he used his idle hand to pick up a small bowl from the tray, looking at the ginseng medicine that was still steaming hot. He slightly furrowed his eyebrows and brought the rim of the bowl to his lips, wanting to test the temperature.

  The man in front of her was elegant, his movements calm and gentle, with a warm expression and considerate attitude. But Bai Xincheng's eyes saw the complexity in his heart. Just as his thin lips were about to touch the rim of the bowl, she suddenly raised her hand and snatched the delicate bowl from him, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

  Xue Ying had been following her for many days, and she still understood that the girl would never give her anything scalding to eat.

  This man is so gentle and sentimental, it's sickening just looking at him.

  She saw herself, and with a slight raise of her eyebrows, she glanced at the blood shadow behind her: "Get out."

  "Yes." Xue Ying walked out of the room.

  Now that he's "awake", Bai Xinzhen definitely can't pretend to be dead anymore, and struggled to leave his arms.

  "I want to sleep!" means don't disturb her peace anymore, go as far away as possible.

  He pulled her back into his arms, and with a gentle tone said: "You haven't eaten all day, have some food. The servants in the mansion are not familiar with your taste yet, you try it first, if you don't like it, I'll let the housekeeper change the cook."

  "What does this have to do with the chef?"

  Knit your brow and say: "I want to sleep!"

  "After filling your belly, I'll accompany you to sleep."

  "I'm going to sleep!" Bai Xincheng had finally learned his lesson from his relentless pursuit, and with a slight frown, she used her cunning strength to climb out of his arms.

  She had barely crawled into bed when she heard a rustling sound of clothes behind her.

  "What are you doing?"

  "I'll sleep with you." The man's deep eyes were filled with tenderness, especially the captivating smile at the corner of his mouth, which made Bai Xin's scalp feel numb for a moment.

  Just as he was about to reveal his sexy chest, Bai Xintian's face turned black with anger, and she rushed over to grab the hands that were undressing him. She couldn't help but shout: "You shameless thing! Who wants you to sleep together? You dare to take off your clothes? Tonight, get out of here!"

  Don't think she doesn't know what he wants to do, the thing is that she's still hurting now and really doesn't want to go through it again with him.

  Looking at her suddenly disheveled appearance, Yan Mo raised an eyebrow: "It's late, it's time to rest, who sleeps without undressing?"

  Looking at his calm and composed expression, Bai Xincheng's hand grasping his wrist couldn't help but tighten, gritting her teeth in hatred: "Despicable!"

  "......?!!"

  He suddenly pounced on her as he wrenched his hand free from hers —

  "It's nothing to be ashamed of."

  Bai Xinzhen: "......" She wanted to find a block of tofu to knock herself to death!

  She clutched her collar tightly and retreated to the side of the bed, staring at him with a fierce gaze: "I have something to say!"

  "Hmm?" Yan Mo raised an eyebrow.

  "I have nothing, you should've known that a long time ago—"

  "Uh-huh."

  "I don't like it here, you should know that. I won't even mention what else, which you should also know. Why did you marry me, let's not talk about that for now, but you brought me to a place I don't like, to be honest, I'm angry inside. If it was just because of 'repaying kindness', then this kindness has been repaid, you can send me away now. From now on, the two of us..."

  "Do you dare to say that again?" Before he could even finish speaking, his arm was suddenly and roughly grabbed and pulled in front of him. He looked up to see the man's handsome face clouded over, his eyes cold and menacing.

  She wasn't afraid of him, to be exact, she had never been afraid of him since they met. When he suddenly got angry, she didn't back down at all, staring straight into his deep and cold black eyes: "I can take back what I said earlier, but first, let me make one thing clear: during the time you belong to me, I don't want to see you having any intimate relationship with any woman. Otherwise, please be considerate and let me go. I won't keep something that's been tainted by others."

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo's expression finally eased up, but he just stared at her, unsure of what to say. This woman was impossible to serve! He had made himself clear earlier, yet she still didn't believe him.

  He let out a sigh and turned around to walk over to the table, bringing the dishes over and placing them on the embroidered stool beside the bed.

  Bai Xin was also uncertain what he wanted to do. It wasn't until he picked up a small bowl and stirred the hot porridge with a spoon that she suddenly had an urge to snatch it away from him.

  "He's coming himself." Isn't this man being a bit too dramatic? She just has some lower body pain, it's not like she's half-paralyzed or anything. Besides, her hands are fine, it's just a bowl of porridge, she can totally swallow it in one gulp, does he really need to feed her mouthful by mouthful?

  "Don't move!" The man glared at him with displeasure.

  "What are you doing? Trying to make up for what happened after the fact?"

  The man coldly stared at her: "You know, yet you ask."

  "......" Alright, she admitted defeat again.

  Watching him feed himself spoonful by spoonful, his movements gentle, Bai Xin's face grew hotter and hotter.

  Can't you be less melodramatic?

  She swallowed hastily, and even wanted to snatch the bowl from his hand. Alas, the man seemed to have been prepared, with a pair of deep eyes staring at her all along.

  A bowl of porridge was finished, and a few pieces of pastry on the plate also entered the belly. Bai Xinran shook his head only then.

  "I won't eat anymore. If I eat more, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

  Tonight's midnight snack was great, it's the most delicious thing I've had in a long time. It's fragrant and sweet but not greasy, leaving a lasting aftertaste. However, eating too much at this late hour means I won't be able to sleep now.

  Yan Mo's eyes deepened a few shades because of what she said next.

  At this time, Xue Ying quietly entered the room and prepared everything for bathing in an orderly manner.

  "Alright, Grandfather." Blood Shadow finally spoke up after adjusting the water in the bathtub.

  "Get out." The man said in a light tone.

  Bai Xin shifted uncomfortably and tried to create some distance between them. She lifted her chin, pointing towards the door: "You can leave too, I'll handle it myself."

  Don't think she can't guess what he's going to do, forget about having a romantic bath together!

  Unfortunately, a certain man had made up his mind. Nowadays, Bai Xinzhen was just a little pet trapped in bed by him, how could she say no and he would listen?

  He scooped her up with one long arm, lifting her lightweight body directly onto his own, and headed towards the bathtub.

  Bai Xin was just about to scold someone when he was suddenly shut down by him bowing his head.

  Her palm rested on his chest, the heat emanating from there causing her heart to suddenly accelerate, involuntarily recalling the fragments of this afternoon, even forgetting to struggle, until they both fell into the warm water.

  That swelling feeling came again, although it still hurt a lot, but compared to this afternoon, it was much better. She suppressed the urge to scream and bit down on his shoulder blade.

  Her small cat-like strength on his shoulder not only didn't make Yan Mo Ye stop, but instead made him even more excited. A pair of ink-colored eyes gazed at her with a greedy expression, lightly biting her ear and coaxing: "Call out... call out and I'll let you go..."

  The result is predictable, but whatever men say at this moment can basically be regarded as farting.

  Bai Xinzhi screamed, and her screams were somewhat mournful and wolf-like. However, she also regretted it, because a certain man not only didn't let her go, but instead seemed to be possessed by a beast, with an unrelenting posture.

  。。。。。。

  The next day, Bai Xincheng started punching the bed as soon as he opened his eyes.

  Damn it! Is this repayment of kindness? This is clearly repaying kindness with enmity!

  That man was like a different person that whole night, from being clumsy at noon to suddenly becoming skilled in the evening, turning her over and over again, almost killing her...

  She lifted her quilt, furrowed her brow and gritted her teeth. It hurt all over!

  "Your Highness, are you awake?" Blood Shadow quietly approached and asked.

  Bai Xin stared at her for a moment. Doesn't this girl make any sound when she walks?

  "What about him?" The dead man, having eaten and drunk his fill, actually didn't accompany her!

  "The master has gone to the study, saying he has some important matters to attend to. Please go to sleep first, and after you've washed up later, I'll take you to pay your respects to the old mistress with tea."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xin furrowed her brow. She almost forgot that there was still a mother-in-law in the manor...

  As for this unfamiliar mother-in-law, Bai Xinzhi was a bit unsure. From time to time, conversations with Blood Shadow let her know that the man she married was an only child, and there was no father in the family, just a woman over 40 years old.

  I heard that this old lady has a bad temper and is autocratic in the Prince's mansion, interfering with everything. Even her son sleeping with which madam, she would intervene.

  She found it strange that since he liked to interfere so much, why didn't he intervene when his son married a deaf and mute woman?

  And then there's those so-called eight madams...... The one with the surname Yan is obviously a virgin.

  What's going on with sleeping?

  Why don't we just cover ourselves with a quilt and have a pure chat?

  Nonsense! A man and a woman covering themselves with a quilt just chatting, that can only mean the man himself has problems. From yesterday's signs, it is clear that Xian is normal to an extreme degree!

  Otherwise, where did her body pain come from?

  She didn't know how Blood Shadow did it, being able to kill without batting an eye and also cook delicious soup in the kitchen. His pair of skilled hands was comparable to a top-notch designer, and even his tacit understanding with her was astonishingly good.

  Xue Ying didn't help her dress up, but simply coiled her hair into a bun and secured it with a pale jade hairpin of the same color as her hanfu. It looked simple and plain, yet made Bai Xinyan exceptionally satisfied. She hadn't forgotten that she was now just a deaf-mute girl, who needed to be flashy?

  She is now as low-key as possible.

  The emerald green dress with a long-sleeved short jacket, compared to the clothes given by the White House, the fabric and workmanship on her body were obviously several grades higher.

  Preparations were made, and Bai Xinzhen waited in the house according to what Xueying said for the man to return. However, after sitting for a while, she felt uncomfortable all over her body. So she thought of going out to the courtyard first to take a walk and exercise the muscles that had almost been torn apart by the man last night.

  As soon as the door opened, Bai Xintong was stunned when she saw the two maids standing outside.

  The two maids outside the door, who had just seen Bai Xinzhu, opened their mouths to call out, but suddenly froze with a look of solemn respect on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost. Their two faces instantly turned deathly pale.

  "How can it be you?!" one of the maidservants couldn't help but exclaim, with an expression of utter incredulity.

  They were the old lady's arrangements for the young lady's side maids, yesterday was the day when the young lady and King Jing of Cheng married, how did this abandoned daughter of the White House appear in the main courtyard of the Palace of King Cheng today?

  What's going on here?

  Miss, where did you go?

  "How dare you!" Blood Shadow stepped forward, suddenly shouting in a cold voice, "Two lowly maids, and yet you are the attendants of our princess, but you don't know your place! Now your master is the wife of the Duke's household, but you two look down on our princess's status——"

  A stern gaze swept over the guards standing not far away: "Come, take these two lowly maids who dared to offend me and throw them out! Flog them fifty times! If they die, throw them directly out of the Prince's mansion. If they don't die, send them back to the White Mansion!"

  Upon hearing this, the two maids' faces turned pale and they were so frightened that their whole bodies began to tremble.

  "You, you're just a slave, how dare you take it upon yourself to make decisions for your master... You..."

  The guard beside him didn't say a word and followed Blood Shadow's instructions. They walked in pairs, each carrying one of the maids.

  Bai Xin's face changed slightly as he asked in a low voice, "But did your king order you to do so?"

  The blood shadow nodded expressionlessly: "His Highness has ordered that anyone who disrespects the princess will be killed first and reported later."

  "...?!" Bai Xinzhen had heard this sentence countless times, and she couldn't help but feel indignant. What kind of power did that man have to allow a servant girl to arbitrarily decide someone's life or death with just one command?

  But she has grown quite fond of this way of doing things, treating trivial matters as if they were important.

  Look at him, how powerful!

  When can she also be so unrestrained?

  She sighed and quietly walked out of the room, walking in the unfamiliar corridor...

  Although no one told her, she felt that something must have happened yesterday.

  Although she was dressed up and made herself look good, the Blood Shadow unexpectedly knocked her out. When she appeared at the Cheng Wang Fu, someone had put a soft tendon disperser on her body...

  Does a normal wedding need to make the bride look like this?

  She didn't plan to run away from marriage, so he shouldn't have done it either.

  What is it for after all?

  Before she got married, she heard that Mrs. Bai Zhang would arrange for a maid to accompany her, but since Blood Shadow wouldn't let anyone get close to her, and yet the proper etiquette couldn't be neglected, so Zhang said that having the maid accompany her on the day of the wedding would suffice.

  Just now those two maidservants saw her astonished appearance, it was very clear that they were not her personal maidservants.

  "How is it you?" As soon as he thought of this sentence, a hint of confusion flashed through Bai Xincheng's mind, and then a cold light burst out from the bottom of his eyes.

  Damn it! Are those two maids Bai Xinbi's people?

  Isn't the person who wanted to marry into the Cheng Wang Fu yesterday Bai Xinbi?!

  Otherwise, how can we explain why Bai Xinbi's maid appeared in the Cheng Wangfu?

  Thinking that what happened yesterday might be just like her own conjecture, Bai Xinzhen clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, staring at a spot in the void.

  Bai Fu, you have wronged Bai Xinzhu for eighteen years, letting her suffer the pain of being abandoned by her family from a young age, living a difficult life like a dog, and ultimately leading to her drowning in despair. This debt has been recorded on behalf of Bai Xinzhu.

  They were once of the same name, now they share a body. If that's the case, then she'll take on this ruthless blood debt for her.

  Now you, Bai Fu, are still unaware of your own awakening, and actually treat her as a deaf and dumb fool to bully, thinking of using the marriage to push her into the fire pit and marry her off to a person who is despised by the world.

  New debt, old debt, it's all debt, and she will get it back!

  Bai Xing had fallen into a heavy mood and didn't notice someone approaching from behind. By the time she reacted, she was already being pulled into the person's embrace.

  "Sorry, I should be accompanying you in the house today, but something urgent came up... How's your body? Is there anything uncomfortable?" The man's gentle voice was like a breeze that brushed against Bai Xiner's ear, making her tremble slightly.

  Heaven knows how much he wanted to stay in the room, just watching her sleep quietly, and his heart was satisfied. He admitted that he was a bit overboard with her last night, got a little wild, but it's hard to control his emotions, and he couldn't help it.

  As for his explanation, Bai Xinyan had nothing to say. After all, his identity was placed here, a prince, who would definitely not be idle, but for the two sentences of concern behind him, she couldn't help but lift her foot and step heavily on his heel.

  His feet ached somewhat, but Wei Ying's mouth corners rose high, and his deep eyes rippled with a satisfied smile.

  "First, come with me to pay respects to my mother, and later I'll accompany you back to rest, okay? The Emperor has granted me a three-day leave, have you thought about how we will spend it?" He asked seriously, his head lowered as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

  Bai Xin rolled her eyes and looked a bit bored. Did he have any real relationship with her anyway?

  "You've done so many things behind my back, and now you're coming to ask for my opinion? Don't you think it's a bit too late?"

  "I..." Yan Mo's words suddenly stuck in his throat, and the deep eyes that had been gazing at her suddenly shied away, not daring to meet her inquiring gaze.

  "Tell me the truth, what exactly happened yesterday? Why did the maid look so surprised when she saw me?" He took in his evasive expression and White Heart Stain had already confirmed half of her suspicions.

  Now that things have settled, I don't think there's anything to hide. Even if I hide it from her now, she'll definitely see through me when I return home in two days.

  He pursed his lips, and the warmth and smile on his face were retracted. His gaze turned gloomy as he looked to one side, saying in a low voice: "Old Lady Bai deliberately let you sisters switch identities, intending for Bai Xingbi to marry into the Cheng Wangfu and for you to marry into the Shangshu fu."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng's eyes fluttered open, gazing at his cold and enchanting profile, her heart churning like waves. Although she had suspected such a possibility, when she truly knew the truth, she still couldn't remain calm and composed.

  "You've known the old lady's intentions all along, haven't you? So earlier when you asked me to move into Cheng Wang Fu and yesterday had Xue Ying knock me out, it was because you were afraid I'd ruin your plans?"

  He withdrew his gaze, lowered his head to look at her, and the deep eyes once again added a touch of gentleness. He raised his hand to stroke her thin face that was pitifully thin, nodded: "I won't tell you, I just don't want you to be affected by their mood. You are my woman, I must protect your safety."

  These words, subtly carrying a hint of overbearingness. But at this moment, to Bai Xinduan's ears, it was like a stone hitting her heart, causing her calm lake-like heart to ripple with a shallow wave.

  What's safety? From young to old, no matter which dynasty or regime, I've never had the feeling of being pampered. Let alone safety, just having enough food and drink is already a great blessing in life.

  The tenderness and concern in this man's eyes didn't seem fake, and she couldn't think of any reason for him to pretend.

  To outsiders, she is a useless person, a burden, and a jinx who brings disaster. What's the point of him entangling himself with someone like that?

  "To you, am I really that important?" For the first time, she felt like she was being doted on, and it would be a lie if she said her heart didn't skip a beat - after all, she wasn't a cold-blooded creature.

  The woman in front of her, although slender, could not hide her exquisite appearance. Apart from her seemingly weak skin, she had a quality that others did not have - her tenacity and strength.

  He had felt this way since he first met her in Maoshan Village.

  In such an environment, she can still maintain a optimistic heart, he knows that it's not easy for her, and it's precisely this difficulty that makes him want to get closer to her even more.

  Shedding the shabby image of Cao Shan Village, the woman's face is now beautiful and elegant with her own unique charm. What delights him even more is that he catches a glimpse of her shy and coy demeanor, like that of a young girl.

  As they gazed into each other's eyes, his deep pupils locked onto her inquiring gaze, and he couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth. His thoughts stirred, and he lowered his head to kiss her small, delicate, soft red lips.

  "I've never cared about anyone like this before... Ran, try accepting me and giving yourself to me completely, okay?"

  He ended with a kiss, and Bai Xin's legs were slightly softened. If it weren't for his arm around her waist holding her up, she would have almost fallen over.

  There was still his taste in her mouth, and the smell she breathed in from the tip of her nose was also his. As she faced the man's deep affectionate gaze, her mind went blank again.

  It seems that since she had a relationship with him yesterday, this situation has been happening frequently. She doesn't know if this situation is good or bad, but facing the man's increasingly sweet and deep affectionate appearance, her heart can't calm down.

  This man was too exceptional, exceptionally so that she felt it wasn't real. If not for the soreness from being tossed around by him in bed reminding her, she would have thought everything was just an illusion.

  As for the implication of his words, she wasn't oblivious, it's just that when it came to emotions, she hadn't found that sense of stability yet, so how could she agree to him?

  Her long eyelashes fluttered, she coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Aren't you going to see your mother? Hurry up. We can talk when you get back."

  She broke free from his arm and stood behind him with her head down.

  He let out a sigh, and for an instant, his expression turned gloomy. He knew he had been too impatient. However, since she was already his, he would naturally be patient and wait for her to completely put down some burdens and doubts, and thoroughly give herself to him.

  He took her slender hand, wrapping it in his thick palm, and led her towards the direction of the pear garden. Along the way, both of them remained silent.

  Pear Garden

  Qiu sat in the hall, sipping tea brewed by Li Rong, and apart from his usual serious expression, he seemed quite patient.

  "Old madam, isn't the new queen too ignorant of etiquette? At this hour, she still hasn't come to offer you tea. This is her first day in the palace, what does she mean by this?" Standing behind Madam Qiu, Lirong, who had accompanied her all morning, looked less patient, with a face full of concern for Madam Qiu.

  She took a sip of fragrant tea, and Qiu glanced at her sideways with a hint of disdain. He then put down his teacup and elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth with a silk handkerchief before speaking: "That Bai Shi has been growing up in the countryside since childhood, how much etiquette can she know? I heard that after returning to the White Manor, she couldn't even take care of her daily life, relying on others to handle everything. With someone like that, if she could come see me, I'd be satisfied already. Moreover, early this morning, my son sent someone to deliver a message saying he had urgent matters to attend to and would only bring people over later."

  Lui Rong secretly pursed her lips. To be honest, she couldn't tell what the old lady thought of the new queen either. Which mother-in-law would remain unmoved when seeing her son marry a useless person?

  "Old madam, the new queen's past is no longer a secret. Now that she has married into the Duke of Cheng's household, should we find someone to properly teach her the rules and etiquette of the manor? You see, although everyone can understand the new queen, the Duke of Cheng's household is not an ordinary family after all. The new queen's every word and action represents the Duke of Cheng's household, represents the king. If she is not taught properly, what if in the future she accidentally loses her composure while doing things, wouldn't that bring shame to our Duke of Cheng's household?"

  Upon hearing this, Ms. Qiu nodded: "What you said makes some sense." After a pause, she slightly furrowed her brow, "But I've heard that she can neither listen nor speak, how can one teach her etiquette?" She can follow and learn, but also needs to understand what the learned words and actions represent. Otherwise, wouldn't it be teaching in vain?

  Lui Rong was speechless for a moment. So was she, she hadn't thought of this either.

  Seeing her fall silent, Qiu sighed and said: "Let's talk about this later. She just entered the door, if we do something to make things difficult for her at this time, I'm afraid it will be said behind our backs that we bully the weak."

  She hadn't figured out Yuer's attitude towards the woman, if she were to be a new daughter-in-law and immediately try to assert her dominance over the other woman, what if Yuer took her side and stood up for her, wouldn't that damage the harmony between mother and son?

  It's not worth it for a useless person like him to get hurt and angry.

  "Yes, madam, it was just a concubine's wild imagination." Lirong replied obediently.

  Just then, a maid came in to report that the king had already led the new queen into the pear garden.

  Qiu Shi had someone go ahead to greet them, while she sat solemnly in her high seat, waiting for people to come.

  Knowing that her son disliked crowds, Madame Qiu deliberately dismissed the other concubines who had come to pay their respects early in the morning, leaving only Liren by his side.

  As she watched her son lead a thin, unkempt woman into the hall, although she had many guesses in her mind, when she really saw the rumored useless daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qiu couldn't help but furrow her brow.

  The woman who came in didn't just look frail and weak, but also had a timid and fearful appearance. If it weren't for her son holding her hand as they walked, she probably would have fallen down many times already.

  Especially the new daughter-in-law's expression of strangeness and timidity towards everything around her left Qiu speechless.

  I really don't know what he's thinking! What kind of woman is not good enough to marry, and yet he brings back this kind of trash.

  However, if you think carefully, marrying such a woman might also be feasible. After all, it's better than marrying a clever one who would oppose her everywhere.

  "The son brought his children to pay respects to their mother." He let go of the woman's small hand, and with a solemn expression, he bowed deeply in front of Madame Chui.

  Bai Xinzhi, who was standing beside him, had his eyes wide open and round, looking silly as he silently asked what he was doing.

  This kind of foolishness made Qiu Shi and the beautiful woman behind her look somewhat unattractive.

  This new wife is really losing face!

  All the way, Xue Ying followed the two like an invisible person. Now that they had arrived at the hall, seeing Qiu Shi's gaze on Bai Xinduan, Xue Ying stepped forward, pulled Bai Xinduan's sleeve, and silently made a kneeling gesture towards her, then pointed to Qiu Shi with her hand. Anyone with eyes could see that she was teaching Bai Xinduan how to pay respects.

  Bai Xin was about to burst out laughing, she was used to pretending to be deaf and dumb, but this Xue Ying classmate actually acted more into character than her.

  Have to say, this girl has unlimited potential...…

  Someone had placed a needlework footstool under Qiu's feet, obviously prepared for the new bride to serve tea.

  Bai Xin's eyes were intentionally closed, and from a distance of several embroidered cushions away, she knelt down towards Qiu Shi.

  This was so ridiculous that Qiu's face turned somewhat dark. With such a distance to offer tea, would she have to go forward to receive it?

  Even the expressionless Blood Shadow couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Fortunately, she was looking down, so no one would see her strange behavior.

  Seeing his own woman like this, Yan Mo was both angry and helpless. This woman, must she let everyone know that she is a fool?

  Looking at her like this, his heart ached with some difficulty. No one knew how much he wanted to tell everyone that his woman was not stupid and had no defects...

  But he also knew that since she chose to do so, it meant that she didn't trust anything at all. She would rather humiliate herself and be ridiculed by others than let them know her secret.

  This silly girl...

  Everyone has already knelt down; can't let a deaf person get up and kneel again?

  Qiu sighed and didn't say anything in the end.

  Xue Ying took a cup of fragrant tea from a maid and handed it to Bai Xincheng. As Bai Xincheng held the tea with both hands, ready to bring it to his mouth, Xue Ying twitched the corner of his mouth again, hastily stretched out his hand to stop him, then pointed to Qiu Shi in a higher position and raised both hands in a gesture of offering tea.

  For all the actions of the woman on earth, Qiu Shi saw it in his eyes and almost lost patience.

  Trash is indeed trash!

  Bai Xin imitated the movements of Xue Ying, raising her hands above her head, and looked at Qiu Shi with a foolish expression in her eyes, which seemed to hold a hint of fear. It was as if the stern Qiu Shi would devour her the next second, causing Bai Xin to shudder intentionally.

  The middle-aged woman above, she saw the other's dislike for herself at a glance. For such a mother-in-law, Bai Xintian also felt a strong dislike. This mother-in-law was dressed and adorned in an elegant manner, with a noble and wealthy air, plus a serious and haughty temperament. Although her facial features were beautiful, one could vaguely see the beauty of her youth, but the arrogance and severity revealed between her eyebrows and eyes, how could this be possessed by a kind person?

  Before that, she was thinking that if this mother-in-law was kind and had a different attitude towards her, she might choose a time to tell the mother-in-law the truth that she was not deaf.

  Looking at the old woman's overbearing and arrogant attitude, she immediately retracted her own thoughts.

  Having been subjected to others' cold shoulders since childhood, her heart became more sensitive than ordinary people. She could almost instantly distinguish between those who were genuinely good to her and those who were pretending.

  This old lady really can't be liked at all...

  Xue Ying took the teacup from her hand and walked to Qiu Shi's front, serving on behalf of: "I replace Wang Fei to offer tea to you, wishing Madam a wealthy and long life."

  Qiu took it over with a cold face and lightly touched his lips.

  "Help her up." As she instructed Blood Shadow, she took off a beryl bracelet from her right hand and handed it to Blood Shadow, "Put it on her as well."

  Xue Ying walked over to Bai Xing and did everything according to Qiu Ci's words.

  "Mother, if there's nothing else, I'll take Kohaku with me. She wasn't feeling well to begin with and was exhausted last night, so please forgive us." With everything that needed to be done taken care of, Tsumuji reached out and pulled Shirahana Kohaku behind him.

  "Your Highness." Before Qiu Shi could respond, Li Rong, who was standing behind her, called out voluntarily. Her beautiful eyes were filled with spring water, and she was as charming as possible. "Your Highness, today I originally should have gone to pay my respects to the princess, but since the princess has arrived, why don't you accompany the princess to the Pear Garden to keep company with Old Madame? I learned a few delicious dishes from the head chef a few days ago..."

  "It's not necessary!" Yan Mo gave her a cold, piercing glance. After a pause, he suddenly turned to Qi Shi and said, "Mother, Yan Er was born with an illness and is also timid by nature. From now on, please ask Mother to pass on the messages for the ladies' visits, and exempt her from it. I'm sure Mother has also seen Yan Er's situation, so I hope Mother can take extra care of her and excuse her from visiting Li Yuan."

  Upon hearing this, Lirong lowered her head and lightly bit her lower lip. For the past two months, Wangye's attitude towards her sisters had been growing increasingly cold, could it all be because of that deaf and mute cripple by his side?

  If it were really like that, would her sisters still have a face? Thinking of her sisters, each one was beautiful and lovely, any one of them is better than this fool!

  Qiu always remained silent, but in his heart he agreed with his son's words. This foolish woman was really annoying, since his son had already spoken up, it was better this way, so as not to be affected by such a silly thing every morning.

  "She also knew her mother's situation roughly, and since that was the case, her mother wouldn't make things difficult for her either. Although we follow many rules in the Wang household, it's not like we don't understand human emotions."

  The son then thanked his mother on behalf of the child. He lowered his eyes, and his face sank slightly. He knew that his mother was not a good person to get along with, but even so, he didn't like his mother's attitude towards her.

  Just as he turned around to take Bai Xinzhu away, Qiu Shi suddenly asked: "Yu'er, have you two rounded the house?"

  In front of everyone, Qiu seemed to feel no shame at all, and instead asked very boldly.

  "Yes, mother." Although he didn't know what Qiu Shi wanted to do, Yan Mo still replied truthfully.

  Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qiu slightly narrowed her eyes, feeling somewhat surprised in her heart. Previously, she had thought that her son had married this woman just to repay a debt of gratitude. But now, it seemed that things were not quite as she had imagined.

  This foolish woman's son is actually quite interesting?

  The inquiring gaze swept back and forth over the young couple, and the more she looked at Bai Xin's silly expression, the more she felt a headache coming on. She furrowed her brow and waved her hand: "Since you're not feeling well, go back."

  "The son bid farewell." With a polite bow, Mo Yu turned around and took the small hand to walk out of the hall.

  The blood shadow still silently and quietly followed behind.

  After they left, Lirong bit her lip and stared in the direction of the three people who had just departed.

  "Don't be too disappointed." How could Qiu Shi not see through her thoughts? She gave a cold glance and said, "If you're afraid of being neglected, you should learn to take the initiative. With me around, Yu'er wouldn't dare treat you badly. What's the use of always complaining and whining? Now that Bai Shi has just arrived, with Yu'er protecting her and the novelty still present, you sisters will have to endure some cold treatment. But as you've seen, that woman is like a useless thing. Even if Yu'er protects her for now, she can't protect her forever. You sisters should think carefully about how to win back Yu'er's heart. If you can't even compare to a useless person, what's the point of keeping you?"

  Qiu's words were somewhat ruthless, but to Lirong, these words were undoubtedly encouraging her, instantly raising a glimmer of hope in her heart, and even some pride.

  The old lady is right, he's just a waste of time, what's there to worry about. Men are all fond of new things and tired of old ones, that waste will eventually be abandoned by the prince.

  Even if the prince is reluctant to give up due to their emotional connection, they can still make some moves behind his back...

  From Pear Garden back to Main Garden

  When they were on the road, Bai Xinzhen still looked silly and allowed someone to hold her hand, but as soon as they returned home, she suddenly turned her face away, roughly shaking off the man's large hand, and walked over to sit down by herself at the table.

  "Your Highness, give me a separate courtyard." She could tell that this was where he used to live. It's said that in ancient times men and women didn't live together, now she couldn't wait to separate from this man as soon as possible.

  Her sudden change in attitude left Yan Moyu somewhat perplexed, and upon hearing her words, his face darkened a few shades.

  "Do you want to live alone?" He walked over, reached out and pulled her up from the stool, wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed her against himself, his deep eyes staring at her with a hint of displeasure.

  "Aren't you also living apart from those women? I want a house of my own, shouldn't that be reasonable?" The words were spoken lightly, but with a hint of bitterness.

  Just now when I was paying respects to my mother-in-law over there, she clearly saw that the woman behind her mother-in-law was staring at him with a flirtatious expression.

  How could she have forgotten that in this mansion, he still had several other wives...

  Her eyes sparkled, and Yan Mo suddenly hooked his lips and chuckled softly in her ear: "Didn't I prove my innocence as a husband clearly yesterday? You don't have to worry about those women, I've never touched anyone, so I won't live with them. But you're different, you're my lawfully wedded wife, my woman, of course, we'll live together."

  "I don't want to!" Bai Xiner bluntly refused.

  "Why?"

  "It won't be long before someone comes up with an opinion."

  "Who dares?" Yan Mo's face turned gloomy.

  "Your mother." Bai Xinzhi didn't hide anything, some things should be said, "Your mother is not a good person to get along with, I don't want to be bothered by her in the future."

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo let out a sigh. Suddenly shifting his gaze elsewhere, he said in a low tone: "I also dislike Mother's ways..."

  He couldn't feel any warmth from his mother. He wasn't a born cold-blooded person, and he had the same joys and sorrows as ordinary people, but when it came to his mother, he never felt even a little bit of happiness.

  Bai Xin stared blankly, looking at him with a suddenly somewhat absent-minded and despondent expression, feeling complicated and puzzled in her heart.

  Just watching the mother and son interact, there seems to be a problem. Specifically, what's wrong, she can't quite put her finger on it. Anyway, looking at their distant and polite way of interacting, this bystander feels very awkward.

  The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

  As I was about to fall asleep, he suddenly bent down and scooped me up in his arms, carrying me towards the bed.

  "What's going on?" His hands were pressed against his chest, feeling through the layers of clothing his solid and powerful chest, which was warm to the touch. Bai Xincheng's ears turned slightly red. Before, when he had hugged her like this, she hadn't felt anything out of the ordinary, just thinking that he was taking advantage of her. But since they had developed that relationship, she couldn't control certain awkward emotions herself.

  A woman facing a man with whom she has had a relationship, can her mental state change so much?

  Looking at the two red clouds floating on her cheeks, Yan Mo's face lost some of the heaviness from just now and gained a few more joyful expressions. He quickly walked to the bedside and laid her flat on the bed.

  "This morning I found some good medicine for swelling, wait and let me apply some to you." He had a serious look on his face and spoke with unusual sincerity.

  But when White Heart Stain heard these words, she immediately became embarrassed.

  As soon as he loosened his grip, she quickly rolled over and hid under the bed.

  "Who wants you to wipe it for me? You dare to touch me and try!" This man, can't he be more subtle when speaking?

  Is that place where he can see whatever he wants?

  Looking at her wolf-like appearance, Yan Mo was both angry and amused. Last night he had been somewhat overboard in his passion, but that didn't mean he should stay away from her forever, did it?

  He moistened his lips, took off his own black boots, and casually threw his coat to the foot of the bed. He got into bed, stretched out his long arms, and scooped her small body into his embrace, leaving her nowhere to hide.

  "Last night was too much for me... I took some medicine, it feels better this way." He pinned her hands behind her back and whispered softly in her ear.

  If I had known earlier, I would have asked her one or two fewer times last night. Maybe then...

  "I'll come myself." The hot air he spat out made Bai Xin's whole body numb, and the man in front of her was too good at seducing people, making her want to hide but couldn't.

  "Listen......" One hand restrained her struggling body, the other began to unbutton her clothes, "You can't see, how can you do it yourself?"

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng's face turned red with rage and he bit down on his neck, "You dare to use force on me again, surname Yan? Be careful or I'll twist your head off!"

  He suppressed a smile, his hand on her clothes suddenly slapping her buttocks, and scolded with a few serious tones: "Twist off? You didn't mention it, I almost forgot, how many times have you twisted me?! Dare to shout and threaten, believe it or not, I'll take you down right away!"

  "How dare you?!" Bai Xincheng's face changed as he stared at him, and he immediately confronted him. His eyes were tightly fixed on him, afraid that he would transform into a wolf at this moment.

  "What's wrong with that?" Suppressing a smile, Yan Mo raised an eyebrow and suddenly flipped over to press her down under him. The two of them were face to face, nose to nose, mouth to mouth. "We are already husband and wife, it is only natural for us to consummate our marriage. As your husband, I want you, isn't that allowed?"

  "Shameless." A hint of slyness was caught in his deep eyes, and Bai Xincheng hummed. With him pressing down on her, she clearly felt his excitement, afraid that he would get out of hand, she didn't dare move either, "Don't press down on me, it's suffocating."

  It's not that she felt uncomfortable, but what he did scared her. Before using it, she didn't think much of it, just thought the thing was a bit bigger and more solid. But after actually using it, she was really a little intimidated.

  Others who have taken medicine probably can't compare with him...

  "Ran Er..." Underneath him was her delicate body, soft and fragrant. The intimate entwining of their bodies made him think of the beautiful moments from yesterday, and he couldn't help but want to relive everything from yesterday right now.

  Thin lips sealed her slightly upturned lip, the wet and slippery big tongue rushed into her fragrant and sweet mouth as soon as she reacted, found her soft and small tongue, and entwined with it somewhat presumptuously.

  "Uh..." He released her hand, but she was already powerless to push him away. She could only follow her instincts and wrapped herself around his neck, enduring his scorching and urgent kisses.

  Until a chill reached her chest and a palm covered her mouth, Bai Xintian came back to her senses and struggled against him.

  "Can I rest for a day or two?" The place was really uncomfortable. She couldn't see it herself, but the burning sensation made her unbearable.

  "Okay... I'll just look, won't touch you." As soon as he spoke, his voice had become hoarse to the extreme. Blazing flames burst out from the depths of his eyes, making his handsome face even more seductive and sensual.

  Bai Xin unknowingly fell under some kind of evil spell, and under the influence of some unknown force, she nodded in agreement. It wasn't until the man was also stripped bare that she began to regret it, even gritting her teeth.

  "You said you wouldn't touch me!" Shameless, saying he was giving her medicine, but instead he stripped himself naked.

  Panting heavily, Yan Mo didn't respond to her accusations, instead lifting his head from her body, finding her lips and kissing her again.

  "Good... as a husband, I should only have you once..." He whispered against her red lips, and at the same time, they instantly became one...

  Last night, I was had by him several times. Although Bai Xinzhu's physical strength is not weak and he has some martial arts skills, he still can't bear his repeated demands at the beginning.

  At this moment, she was once again overwhelmed by his insatiable desires, unable to resist, and could only cling to him, letting herself be completely engulfed in the boundless sea of lust...

  She didn't know when she fell asleep, and by the time she woke up, it was already past noon.

  As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the man's rugged face. At this moment, the man closed his eyes, his eyebrows were flat and calm, and his expression was peaceful. But just such a simple sleeping face, in her opinion, was like a landscape painting drawn by a master of ink wash painting.

  Exquisite beauty, elegant and refined, three-dimensional, dreamy...

  She couldn't even find a word to accurately describe him.

  This man is her husband, and will accompany her in life from now on. They will eat together, live together, sleep together...

  She never thought that one day there would be someone so close to her by her side.

  He tyrannically disrupted her life, forcibly moved into her heart, and forced her to accept the reality she had been avoiding.

  She didn't know if it was lucky or unlucky that she met him, but as he showed more and more tenderness and care, she found herself falling deeper...

  The days used to be accompanied by loneliness, now with him in life, it's just unknown how far their future will go...

  Just as Bai Xin's thoughts were wandering, she was suddenly pressed down by a heavy object. She came to her senses and saw the man above her with deep and bright eyes.

  The corner of his mouth twitched: "Wake up if you're awake, no need to pretend to sleep!"

  He raised an eyebrow and hooked up the corner of his lips: "If I didn't do this, how could you bear to look at me seriously?"

  Her pale face twitched at the corner of her mouth, just as she was about to utter the words "boring", but he suddenly kissed her lips.

  His unique masculine breath entered her mouth, his large tongue swept through her palate, and technically, he was obviously much more skilled. Gone was the pain of being roughly bitten and bumped by others, at this moment his kiss made her calm heart lake ripple, and she couldn't help but follow his rhythm.

  Her arms under the quilt gradually wrapped around his neck, she raised her chin, responding to him, actively entwining herself deeper with him.

  Until they kissed so hard that they almost couldn't breathe, Yan Mo Yu finally gasped for air and pulled away from her fragrant lips.

  As they gazed into each other's eyes, his eyes burned with passion and joy, while hers shone with shyness and confusion, a captivating and charming sight.

  If it weren't for considering her body, he would have wanted her again now. This woman, from the moment they met, he knew he was doomed. Now that he has her, but he still can't satisfy himself, wishing to embed her fragile body in his own at all times.

  The two of them just gazed at each other with ambiguous and deep affection, until someone's stomach let out a discordant sound.

  "You go to sleep first, I'll have Blood Shadow bring some food in." As he spoke, he turned over and left her body, tucked the quilt well for her, and covered her tempting body, then elegantly began to dress himself.

  Watching him unreservedly expose himself in front of her, Bai Xin's face flushed slightly red, wanting to avert her gaze, but found it somewhat difficult.

  This man is tall and handsome, with a physique that's not ordinary. Paired with that sharp and charming face, he's so perfect that all men would want to dig a hole and bury themselves.

  And yet such a man would become her exclusive man...

  Today, she has been dazed for several times in a row, and Yan Mo didn't point it out. Looking at the little woman's spirit that she revealed, he was satisfied in his heart.

  When Blood Shadow brought food, he made Blood Shadow leave the room door and carefully fed her.

  From that day on, he told himself that he would raise her to be plump and never let her suffer from hunger again.

  "Alright, stop feeding me, I'm about to burst." Lying on the bed with a rounded belly, Bai Xintong frowned and shook her head.

  There was still some food left, and Yan Mo didn't force her again. In the blink of an eye, it all went into his belly.

  On their wedding day, the couple snuggled up in their new home and spent the first happy day of their life together.

  。。。。。。

  White House

  Looking at the half-dead maid who was sent back from Cheng Wangfu, Bai Han was puzzled, but He Lan's expression changed on the spot.

  This young servant boy didn't recognize her, but she recognized him - wasn't he the servant boy she had chosen as an attendant for her precious granddaughter's dowry?

  "What happened? Who dared to hurt you so badly? Weren't you supposed to follow Miss out of the house? Why didn't you stay at Cheng Wang Fu, but instead were sent back?" He Lan Shi had a bad feeling in her heart and hastily asked one question after another.

  "Old madam... you have to take charge for the sake of us servants..." The maid who was sent back crawled on the ground, her clothes were disheveled and there were bloodstains on her buttocks, it was obvious that she had been punished by someone.

  "What's going on?" Hester's eyes showed no sympathy at all, but instead, her gaze was sharp and obviously somewhat impatient.

  "Old lady... cough, cough, cough... Miss... Miss married the wrong person..." The maid's painful expression was hard to conceal as she told what had happened.

  Upon hearing this, He Lan's old bones were forgotten, and with a whoosh, she stood up from her high seat, staring fiercely at the pitiful maid on the ground: "What did you say? Say it again!"

  "Old lady... miss... the miss has been married to the Grand Secretary, the Grand Secretary's mansion..." As soon as the last word fell, the maid lost all her strength and fainted, closing her eyes and collapsing limply.

  He Lan's eyes suddenly widened, her legs went limp, and her entire body involuntarily took a step back.

  "Old lady——" The maid beside her saw this and quickly supported her.

  Seeing his elderly mother suddenly frightened, Bai Han was slightly puzzled, but also concerned and hurriedly stepped forward to support He Lan's other arm.

  "Mother, what's going on?" Why was the maid who accompanied me to my marriage suddenly sent back, and even subjected to punishment? Why is Mother so frightened? Bi'er was originally married into the Prime Minister's household...

  Really?

  A flash of conjecture crossed Bai Han's mind, and just this one guess made his face change color.

  "Mother, are you planning on letting Bi'er marry into..."

  "Shut up!" He Lan's old face turned deathly pale, and she clutched at her chest, gasping for breath. Her Bi'er...her Bi'er had actually married into the Prime Minister's estate!

  No! This can't be true!

  Her daughter was taken away by the sedan chair of Prince Cheng's mansion yesterday, and so many people witnessed it with their own eyes. How could they possibly make a mistake?

  "Mother!" Seeing He Lan's reaction, Bai Han was so angry that he wanted to die! "Mother, why are you being so foolish?!"

  He had told them before, not to easily move that abandoned girl, and if the Emperor would grant a marriage with Chong Wang's support, it was enough to see that Chong Wang had made sufficient preparations.

  That time Bi'er was injured, it had already confirmed his speculation that the Crown Prince valued that disabled girl. It is said that the disabled girl had a favor for the Crown Prince, so she let the Crown Prince have the thought of wanting to take care of her.

  But her mother was secretly manipulating things behind her back, trying to switch brides and marry Bi'er off into the Cheng Wang Fu...

  Damn it, why are they so reckless!

  No wonder the mother suddenly agreed to the marriage proposal from the Shangshu Mansion, and accepted their betrothal gifts without even a word of courtesy. And they also set the wedding date on the same day as Cheng Wang's wedding... It turns out that they had planned it all along......

  Why am I so stupid? Why didn't I guess Mother's intention earlier?

  Suddenly enlightened, Bai Han was so angry that he almost pounded his chest and stamped his feet.

  "Ah, I admit it! I was the one who wanted Bi'er to marry into the Cheng Wang Fu! I tampered with things on their wedding day! If I hadn't done that, even if I died, I wouldn't have been able to close my eyes in peace! Bi'er is my only beloved granddaughter, clever and talented from a young age. She deserves to marry a man of high status! That beast is nothing but a lowly creature! If it weren't for the fact that I listened to Hu Bo's words and spared her life back then, she would have been dead long ago and wouldn't have come back to our White Manor to steal Bi'er's beloved man!"

  "Mother!" Bai Han's face turned pale with anxiety as he looked at his old mother's obstinate expression, feeling a pang of pain and urgency in his heart. "Mother, do you know the consequences of what you're doing?"

  He is still uncertain whether the King of Jing knows about this matter. From what that maid said earlier, it seems that their plan has been ruined. And there hasn't been any bad news from the King of Jing's residence, so I suppose the one who married into the King of Jing's residence must be that abandoned girl.

  Although his beloved daughter married into the Shangshu Mansion, he had painfully accepted this fact long after his mother had settled on this marriage.

  Now that my daughter is married into the Prime Minister's household, I can only blame myself for being shortsighted and not considering the consequences!

  Her mother wants Bi'er to marry well, which is understandable. However, she can't use another marriage as a means to an end just because she wants Bi'er to marry well, and what's more, it's the Shangshu Fu that's being used. Why doesn't she think about how things would turn out if the person Cheng Wangye marries really is Bi'er, and that useless girl ends up marrying into the Shangshu Fu?

  If you just smile and accept it, then why would he have gone to such great lengths to get the Emperor to arrange a marriage?

  "What consequences?" He Lan's eyes gleamed with venom, despite her body trembling with rage, her face still twisted in a scowl. "The consequence I want is for Bi'er to marry well and be happy! That beast shouldn't have been born into this world, I'm doing her the greatest favor by finding her a family to settle down with!"

  As she thought of this, tears suddenly flowed from her eyes, and her body trembled violently with excitement: "My poor Bi'er... why wasn't it you who married into the Cheng Wang Fu... why..."

  Thinking of his beloved granddaughter's current situation, He Lan could no longer bear the stimulation and fainted before he could finish speaking.

  "Someone, quickly help the old lady back to her room and hurry up to invite a doctor over!" Despite feeling annoyed and resentful towards He Lan, she was after all his own mother, so Bai Han hastily called for someone.

  In the hall, he was left alone, sitting limply in a chair, his heart uneasy and worried.

  Does King Wang know about his mother's plan?

  If you don't know, why didn't your mother's plan succeed?

  Would he spare his mother if he knew her thoughts?

  "What's wrong, sir?"

  Nor did he know how long he had sat there, until Zhang's anxious voice sounded in his ear, and Bai Han finally came back to his senses from his worries.

  "Qinglian... Alas, something big has happened!" The words that filled his heart ultimately turned into a single heavy sigh. Frowning, Bai Han didn't know what to say next.

  "How did Mother suddenly faint?" Zhang Shi asked gently, pretending not to see his entangled expression.

  "Alas..." Bai Han shook his head and sighed again. After a moment of silence, he asked Zhang Shi, "Has the doctor come to examine her? How is Mother now?"

  "Mr. Zhang nodded and comforted, "The doctor has been here before, saying that mother is suffering from a heart attack due to anger, which led to her fainting. He also asked us not to disturb her, so I came over to take a look and ask you what happened? How did mother get angry?"

  Bai Han opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know where to start.

  Looking at his hesitant appearance, Zhang gently patted the back of his hand on the armrest: "Do you still have something to hide from me?"

  Bai Han shook his head slightly, let out another sigh, and then said in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's not that your husband is hiding something from you, but... Alas! Mother might have caused trouble this time!"

  Upon hearing this, Zhang's wife was shocked and anxiously asked: "What trouble? How could Mother cause any trouble?"

  Bai Han lightly told her roughly what he knew. Even though he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, based on the words of the beaten maid and his mother's attitude, he knew that his guess was already about 80% to 90% correct.

  After hearing Bai Hanlin's words, Zhang Shi became even more anxious: "Th-then what should we do now? Will Mother be okay? Will Cheng Wangye cause trouble for Mother?"

  Looking at Zhang's gentle and considerate behavior, always thinking of his family, Bai Han finally found some comfort.

  "This matter has been troubling me for a long time. I also don't know if King Wang knows about it... Alas!"

  When Zhang's eyes cast a glance into the void, the corners of his mouth slightly rose.

  However, this was only for a moment. She immediately furrowed her brow and comfortingly said: "Master, from yesterday to now, it has already been a whole day, but there hasn't been any news from the Cheng Wang Fu, so presumably the Crown Prince should be unaware of the situation."

  "How is the maid who was beaten up and covered in bruises supposed to explain?" Bai Han asked with a hint of disapproval.

  "Perhaps it was the fault of that servant girl herself? If Zhen Wang really knew about Mother's thoughts, he would have come to ask for punishment long ago. So, Master, you should put your mind at ease first. Let's wait until Yan'er and her servant return home before we say anything else. Once they're back, won't we know the outcome?"

  Upon hearing this, Bai Han nodded slightly: "What you said also makes some sense."

  "Right now, we've become in-laws with the Cheng Wang Fu. When Dye Er returns, we must treat her better. I don't dare to say anything on Mother's behalf, but for the sake of our Bai Fu's future, you should advise Mother more often and absolutely cannot be impulsive again. Although Dye Er has a disability, she is still the Cheng Wang Fei after all. Even if one doesn't like it in their heart, they can't not give face to the Cheng Wang Gongzi. Father, isn't that right?"

  Bai Han nodded repeatedly, feeling more and more relieved in his heart. He grasped Zhang's hand in the palm of his hand and patted it continuously: "It's still Qinglian who understands things, with you guiding me as my husband, I feel deeply grateful. All these years, the effort you've put into this family is seen by me, remembered by me, and I feel that I owe you too much..."

  "Old master, you're being too polite. We are husband and wife after all, and doing our best for the White Manor is what I should be doing." Zhang Shi lowered her head, showing great magnanimity in her gentle tone.

  "It would be great if Mother and Bi'er could think of the White family's interests as much as you do." Bai Han sighed sincerely.

  "Old master, you can't say such things. If mother hears about it, she'll surely get angry again."

  Bai Han was even more moved.

  Thinking of some things, he suddenly sighed again: "Alas! As for the current situation in the Wang Mansion, we don't understand it very well, and can only wait and see. But Bi'er... whenever I think of her, my heart aches!"

  If it weren't for the appearance of Wang Gongzi, he would have married off that useless girl to the Shangshu Fu without batting an eye. It can't be denied that deep down, he still hoped someone could take his beloved daughter's place in marriage.

  Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. His mother took matters into her own hands, and Cheng Wang was not one to be trifled with. In the end, it was his beloved daughter who ended up being wronged.

  Now helpless, can only put all hope on Bi'er, hoping that with her intelligence and ability, she can make He Minglang turn back and treat her well...

  When mentioning Bai Xinbi, a hint of coldness flashed in Zhang's eyes. However, she patiently comforted him, "Old master, it is said that children have their own blessings, and Bi'er has been a blessed child since childhood. The Shangshu family will not mistreat her. Although He Ming has a bad reputation, we must have faith in Bi'er, believing that with her intelligence and understanding, she will make He Ming love her even more."

  Zhang's words undoubtedly touched Bai Han's heart, making him let out a sigh of relief: "I hope so..."

  。。。。。。

  Heir of the Wang Clan

  In the study

  A man and a woman stand side by side at the table, the man is handsome and extraordinary, the woman is delicate and charming, whether from afar or up close, it's a beautiful picture.

  The man rolled up his sleeves, without losing elegance, while grinding, he secretly curled up the corners of his lips at the woman.

  On rice paper, two turtles, one big and one small, the smaller one lying on the back of the larger one.

  Can this woman be any more annoying?

  She said she wanted to read and practice calligraphy, thinking that since she grew up in a small village, she wouldn't know how to read or write. Seeing her request, he happily accompanied her to the study, also wanting to take the opportunity to teach her.

  But who knows, what makes this woman... seem like a diligent learner?

  He's simply a good-for-nothing!

  Although he was secretly resentful in his heart, those dark eyes looking at the woman were filled with doting and gentleness.

  The two turtles were painted, and Bai Xincheng finally raised his head to throw him a flirtatious glance: "How's my painting? Does it have a vivid feel?"

  She knew her drawings were childish, but there was no way about it. She didn't want to stay in the room and be oppressed by him at any time, nor did she want him to discover that she could actually read and write, so she had to resort to such small tricks to let her body rest a little and not arouse his suspicion.

  If she were to read and practice writing in front of him, she wouldn't be confident that she wouldn't reveal her true nature.

  Once he discovers she can do everything, how is she supposed to explain?

  Has anyone seen a deaf and dumb girl who can read and write without any teacher?

  Looking at her sly little appearance, Yan Mo's mouth corner slightly hooked. With one arm from behind her, he wrapped his slender waist around, slightly leaning forward to place his chin on her small shoulder, and the palm of his hand against her small abdomen rubbed gently.

  "Are you really willing to learn to read?" he asked with a light smile, his tone without any disdain for her, but rather with a hint of teasing.

  Bai Xin's eyes twitched, and she glanced at him sideways, her four eyes meeting. She retorted, "Isn't it said that a woman without talent is virtuous? If I were talented, wouldn't I be unvirtuous?"

  The corners of his mouth twitched, and Yan Mo was left speechless for a moment: "......?!"

  Looking at the delicate face so close, especially that small red mouth opening and closing in front of him, he couldn't help but recall its taste. His Adam's apple rolled, and in an instant, he captured it, taking advantage of her being off guard. His large tongue quickly pried open her teeth, savoring her sweetness.

  He was turned over and pressed against his chest, and a black line began to fall from the top of Bai Xin's forehead. This man, how did he come again!

  She was left weak in the knees by his passionate and lingering kiss, so she had no choice but to raise her hands to cling to his broad shoulders, tiptoeing to meet him.

  The large hand covering her waist gradually crept up, and Bai Xintong shuddered, turning her head away.

  "Can't you just behave?"

  Buried in her neck, panting heavily, Yan Mo gave her a tighter hug, making her clearly feel his uncontrollable desire.

  "...we go back to our room, huh?" He wanted her, urgently wanted.

  Before, he thought that kind of thing was only for debauchees and lechers, but after having skin-to-skin contact with her, he finally understood the taste could drive people crazy and make them lose their rationality.

  How can one describe...

  "Go back by yourself!" Bai Xinzhen refused without even thinking. What was she so insistent on coming to the study for? Wasn't it just to let herself rest a bit?

  His eyes sank, and Yan Mo suddenly raised his hand. The wide sleeve swept across the desk, instantly clearing a large area. Just as Bai Xintong thought he would give up that idea, he suddenly lifted her onto the desk, half of his body pressing her down against the desktop.

  "Who?" She spat out blood. This guy is too unscrupulous! In a place of work, he would even think of this?!

  Those sexy thin lips curled up with a satisfied arc, from her smooth and tender neck, lightly nibbling bit by bit, feeling her uncontrollable trembling, he couldn't help but increase the force slightly, leaving one print after another on her skin along her neck.

  Although she had her own mark on her body, he found that even such an action would make people addicted.

  Bai Xin's face turned pale as her body trembled and she began to breathe slightly heavily.

  The thing between men and women may make people feel tired to the point of not wanting to open their eyes, but it is undeniable that the process can be addictive.

  Under his lips and tongue, she narrowed her eyes, gradually becoming dazed, feeling the kind of shameful emptiness growing more intense, and involuntarily wrapped her legs around his slender waist.

  Just as the fiery palm was about to go ahead and explore the way, the study door was suddenly knocked on.

  "Father, King Fengde has arrived!" Yin Du's voice came from outside the door.

  This sentence is like a basin of cold water suddenly poured on the entwined bodies of the passionate men and women in the room.

  Bai Xin came back to her senses, looked at herself and saw that her shoulders were already exposed, instantly blushing bright red. She couldn't help but scold the man: "Hurry up and dress me properly!"

  His interest was interrupted by someone, and Yan Mo's face turned black with a "huff" sound.

  "The king is now free from distractions, after a cup of tea, bring Wang Gong to the study." He coldly instructed towards the door, but his body was extremely reluctant to back away, and he pulled the woman up from the table, and the two fell into the taishi chair behind them.

  "Yes." Outside the door, Yin Du led the order away.

  Looking at each other with disheveled clothes, Bai Xin's hair was messy and tangled. Yan Mo Ye had his head buried in her neck, breathing heavily.

  The two of them didn't continue or say a word, they just held each other, quietly calming the primal heat within their bodies.

  After a long while, until she felt that it was no longer so dangerous for him, Bai Xincheng finally pushed him: "Since you want to see the guest, I'll go back to my room first."

  "It's nothing." Yan Mo pressed her into his arms, his chin rubbing against the top of her head, "Stay and keep me company."

  "Aren't you afraid I'll lose face in front of you?" Logically speaking, a normal person would be eager to get rid of her, right?

  However, this man seems to have never been normal!

  Otherwise, it is also impossible to be ridiculed by others and still want to marry her.

  Upon hearing her retort, Yan Mo raised an eyebrow and whispered in her ear with a smile: "You don't even mind losing face, so why should I?"

  Bai Xin's face turned red with anger as she glared at him, her lips curling up slightly.

  Thinking of her pretending to be silly in front of people, Yan Mo suddenly stopped smiling, lifted her up, and gazed deeply into her eyes, asking: "Do you plan on pretending for the rest of your life?"

  It's undeniable that when he saw her disguise, he felt uncomfortable and heartbroken.

  Bai Xinxi took a deep breath, this was actually his first time directly asking himself this question.

  "I don't want to go back to normal now." That was her answer. She didn't feel safe at all in the current environment, and there were many confusing factors that made it hard for her to be herself.

  His face sank slightly, and Yan Mo pressed his lips together, raising his hand to rub her thin cheek with the palm of his hand. "When you figure it out, tell me, okay?"

  Looking into his deep and calm eyes, Bai Xincheng felt a special discomfort in her heart. The emotions at the bottom of his eyes were so obvious that she couldn't ignore them even if she wanted to.

  He didn't force himself to pretend to be normal in front of her, but instead told her in a spoiled tone that he would respect her decision.

  This overbearing man was being unusually considerate at this moment, making her feel warm and fuzzy inside.

  "Good." She nodded and rested her head on his shoulder.

  Yan Mo let out a sigh and helped the two of them tidy up their clothes.

  He didn't know that she actually didn't trust him completely. This woman, who seemed to be carefree and easy-going about everything, was actually suspicious and on guard against everyone and everything.

  He knew she had many secrets, but he wasn't in a hurry, believing that one day she would be honest with herself.

  He wanted to know why a disabled girl who was confirmed could hear and speak, why she had martial arts skills growing up in a place like Cao Shan Village, and why she was brave enough to be fearless of those corpses.

  There are too many doubts on her body, too many unimaginable things, and too many things that he can't touch...

  After a cup of tea, Yin Du's voice sounded outside the door again, and Yan Mo allowed him to enter.

  Yin Du pushed open the door and stepped aside to let a young man in: "King Feng De is inside, please enter."

  A low table was placed beside my armchair, and Bai Xinzhen sat on a embroidered cushion on the floor, leaning against the edge of the low table with his hands moving to paint. He seemed not to hear the noise at the door, quietly holding the brush stained with ink on the rice paper, and his casual movements looked clumsy in the eyes of outsiders.

  Although she was drawing a malnourished simple sketch with her head down, her spare glance was secretly sizing up the people coming in.

  She just knew that Fongde Wang was the second son of the current emperor, who had been casual and careless since childhood, rarely inquiring about state affairs, and was a person who made the emperor extremely headache.

  "His Majesty King Fengde has arrived today, I have an important matter that I cannot leave, please forgive me for the delay." He said politely from behind the desk.

  "Please, don't be polite." Xia Lixun changed his usual proud demeanor and smiled humbly, "Yesterday was a grand celebration for you, but I wasn't able to attend. I've been feeling apologetic in my heart, so today I came specifically to explain things to you and also bring the congratulatory gift."

  "Yin Du, take a seat and watch for King Feng De!" Yin Du was ordered in a soft voice by Yan Mo beside him.

  Xia Li Xun also didn't stand on ceremony and sat down across from him at the desk.

  Bai Xin's attention was originally only out of curiosity, but when she heard the voice of Feng De Wang, she suddenly furrowed her brow, and a doubt arose in her heart - this voice was so familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
