Chapter 46: The Gate

  Xia Lixun wore a purple brocade robe, looking elegant and refined, with an extraordinary demeanor that was hard to resist. His white face and jade crown made him look handsome, but the arrogant air in his eyebrows and eyes made people not like him, especially those slightly raised eye corners, which seemed to be smiling, but always gave people a feeling of being fake.

  Feeling that pair of haughty eyes on herself, Bai Xincheng didn't dare to be careless either, and focused on burying her head in the rice paper to continue her simple sketch.

  As for her disregard and rudeness towards herself, Xia Lixuan seemed to be unbothered.

  It was Yanmo who opened his mouth and apologized: "My humble wife has a residual illness, she cannot speak, please forgive her, King Fengde."

  Xia Li Xuan smiled faintly: "Don't mind, King Cheng. I've long heard that Queen Cheng is different from ordinary people, so I naturally won't make things difficult for her. Today's sudden arrival made me worry that I might startle Queen Cheng."

  The two men spoke politely and humbly. Bai Xincheng listened to the voice, which sounded more and more familiar as he heard it, but for a moment, he couldn't recall where he had heard it before.

  And that gaze didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, always falling on her, making her feel uneasy all over, yet she couldn't bear to turn her head to look.

  But her intuition told her that Wang Fengde was watching her!

  Yan Mo accompanied King Feng De, exchanging pleasantries back and forth, and naturally noticed that his gaze would occasionally fix on his own woman, instantly giving rise to a few points of displeasure in his heart.

  Just then, Xia Lixun suddenly got up and walked towards the low table.

  She felt someone approaching, and Bai Xiner raised her head. She didn't know when she had gotten a black ink stain on her clean face. Her dark eyes stared blankly at the man who was getting close to her, with a hint of fear in her eyes. Her body involuntarily retreated backward, until she reached Yan Mo's feet.

  The tension and unease she showed were both taken in by the two men.

  Xia Li Xun did not take another step forward, but stopped a few steps away, his cold and proud eyes gazing at the thing drawn on the low table, his thin lips, redder than a woman's, twitching imperceptibly.

  A large and small group of turtles on paper!

  "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. My humble wife is timid by nature and not accustomed to interacting with people. If there's any impropriety, please don't blame her." The expressionless Crown Prince Chao Xia Li Xun bowed and made a gesture of respect, then took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped the small face stained with ink. He then lifted the person up from the ground and held them in his arms, covering more than half of their body with his wide sleeves, and patted their back gently, trying to comfort the child in his embrace.

  Looking at the couple like this, Xia Lixuan narrowed his eyes and smiled softly: "Cheng Wang is too serious, it's just that I suddenly scared Cheng Wangfei."

  He paused for a moment, then suddenly curiously asked: "I heard that the Emperor said that Princess Cheng once saved Prince Cheng and made him feel grateful and sympathetic, so he married her?"

  "Yes." These words were spoken by himself, and he acknowledged them with a big smile.

  "Cheng Wang is indeed Cheng Wang, his kind heart has truly moved me. The same goes for Queen Cheng Wang, despite having a disability herself, she still manages to care for Cheng Wang, this pure kindness is truly admirable."

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but her expression remained unchanged as she said, "Perhaps this is just fate."

  Bai Xin buried his face in his chest, his mouth twitching violently. "......?!!"

  Is there wood for the brazier?

  He gazed at the turtle diagram on the low table with great interest, and only then did Xia Lixuan withdraw his gaze. He smiled lightly at Yan Moyu and said: "I came specifically to deliver a congratulatory gift today, but I didn't expect to disturb the affection between you and your wife, King. Please don't mind. I remembered that there are still things to be dealt with in the mansion, so I won't stay long."

  After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands towards the door, and a young servant entered respectfully, walked to Yan Mo's side, and presented a gift with both hands: "To His Highness Wang, this is our king's intention, please accept it."

  "Feng De Wang has made up his mind." Without hesitation, Yan Mo handed it over and took a glance at the contents of the gift list, nodding politely to Xia Li Xuan.

  "That king then left first." As he spoke, Xia Lixun's gaze seemed to sweep a glance at Bai Xindye.

  "Yin Du, see off the Princess De." Catching his unusual gaze, Yan Mo subtly tightened his hold on the woman and called out to Yin Du at the door.

  Until the study quieted down, and the door was closed by the guards outside, Bai Xincheng finally lifted his head from Yu's arms, frowning with a look of entanglement.

  "What's wrong?" He raised her chin, looking at her tightly furrowed eyebrows, somewhat puzzled.

  "This is the voice of Wang Fengde, I've heard it in Mao Shan Village." Bai Xintie shook his head and muttered to himself, "But that's not right, that person was said to be crippled, but this Wang Fengde is clearly a normal person..."

  After some thought, she nodded firmly again, "I'm sure he's that person!"

  "Who is it?"

  "You don't know, in Maoshan Village, there was a rich young master who came to recuperate and especially liked mint. Almost every household in our village planted mint, all for him. And then after you left, that person never appeared again. I'm sure that Feng De Wang is that person."

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo raised an eyebrow: "Why are you so certain?" Looking at her reaction, it didn't seem like she had seen Fong De Wang before.

  "I didn't just say that, his voice sounds very familiar. Although I've never seen what he looks like, I often go to his house to deliver mint for him and have heard him talking in the room. And... didn't you smell it? The scent of mint on Wang Fengde's body is very strong."

  "He indeed lived in Maoshan Village for a period of time."

  "How did you know?"

  After asking, she suddenly widened her eyes, "Could it be that the mastermind behind the smuggling of firearms you want to catch is actually him?!"

  In Maoshan Village, that person was a rather mysterious figure with unique hobbies, making it hard for people to forget him. No wonder since he arrived in Maoshan Village, that person has been missing.

  She herself understood, and Mo Yu didn't explain further. Some things are better left unsaid, he believed that the Emperor also suspected Prince Gongde of smuggling arms, but there was no sufficient evidence, so this matter could only be put on hold.

  "Yan Er, from now on, try to avoid this person as much as possible, got it?" Yan Mo reminded him aloud, thinking of certain things.

  "Why?"

  He wrapped her in his arms, "The fact that you lived in Maoshan Village is no longer a secret, and King Fengde must also know. Today he came to the mansion, probably for another reason."

  Bai Xinzhi didn't look foolish: "Are you saying that his main purpose for coming to the Wang Fu today was to probe me?"

  A cold glint flashed in the depths of my eyes, and I nodded: "Privately building an arsenal and smuggling weapons, this matter is still unknown to anyone that it was done by King Feng De. Even I don't have enough evidence to prove that he is the mastermind behind it all. What he has done is a capital offense, naturally he wouldn't give others the opportunity to reveal his secrets. Now that he sees you as an abnormal person, he won't be too vigilant, but if he were to discover that you are a normal person, I'm sure he would try every means possible to silence you."

  In fact, the people of Mao Shan Village are all witnesses. If you want to take evidence, it's not impossible. But once this plan is implemented, the people of Mao Shan Village may not survive.

  His Majesty must have taken this into consideration, which is why he specifically instructed him not to make things difficult for innocent people.

  Now, the smuggling of arms is a case without a head, and he naturally will not sacrifice his beloved for the sake of breaking this case. Even a little danger, he must eliminate!

  Bai Xin rolled her eyes and deliberately said: "Then I'd really have to pretend to be deaf and dumb for the rest of my life?"

  She knew that her words were probing, and Yan Mo couldn't help but shake his head. He reached out to pinch her small nose: "If you don't want to pretend anymore, just tell me at any time, and I'll think of a way for you."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng shrugged his shoulders: "Let's just forget it. I think things are fine the way they are now."

  She let out a sigh, but Yan Mo didn't say anything else. Before, he had hoped that he could recover normally, at least not letting her be so humiliated in front of outsiders. But today's visit from Prince Feng De had awakened him to something.

  She absolutely cannot show herself in front of people with a normal appearance now...

  He bent down and scooped up the woman in his arms, then headed out of the study.

  "Hey, what's going on?" Bai Xiner exclaimed in a low voice.

  "It's hard for a husband to get a break, I want to accompany you well." The man had a certain evil light in his eyes, but his words were considerate and meticulous.

  Accompany her? How to accompany, Bai Xin Yan is not unaware.

  Although gritting his teeth and even wanting to bite him twice, his heart beats inexplicably faster...

  ……

  Before I knew it, the time had come for me to return home after three days.

  Ministry of War

  In a new house, the woman sat alone under the window, secretly shedding tears. The radiant complexion like a flower was gone, although her appearance was still exquisite and beautiful, but the color between her eyebrows seemed to have absorbed too much evil spirit, dull and dim, and her slender body also looked somewhat depressed and weak.

  Those who knew her thought she was a new daughter-in-law who had just crossed the threshold, while those who didn't know her thought it was some family's daughter crying and mourning.

  Three days, a short three days, from the day of her wedding when she was stained with someone else's filthy body, she fell into the depths of hell.

  He Mei didn't spread the word about her losing her virginity, she knew that he wasn't doing it to protect her reputation, but rather for his own dignity as a man. In front of outsiders, he treated her like his wife, but behind everyone's back, he revealed his beastly nature, not only did he not treat her like a wife, but also humiliated her in various ways on the bed.

  There have been several times when she felt like she was almost toyed to death by him.

  Those cold and hard things invaded her body, it was so disgusting, so unbearable...

  It was just the beginning of their new marriage, but she felt the arrival of death. It was humiliation and also pain.

  But she can't die, she absolutely cannot die under his perverted behavior.

  She wants to live!

  Live to take revenge on those who plunged her into the depths of hell!

  She didn't know how long she had been sitting under the windowsill until a maid came in and pushed her, and she finally came to herself.

  "Second Master has called for you, the person is already waiting for you at the gate, don't dawdle, or Second Master will have you return to the White Manor on your own." The maid said coldly, her words and actions not only lacking any respect, but also carrying a tone of disdain and arrogance.

  The second young master said, this woman is just a cheap person, no need to give her face, let them think whatever they want, if she dares not to obey, then directly divorce her and let her roll back to the White Mansion.

  In just three short days, Bai Xingbi had already seen enough of Ya Niang's impudent face.

  At first she was furious and beat a maid, who then ran to He Ming in tears and told on her. He Ming, wanting to take the maid's side, not only beat her in front of the maid but also ended up having an affair with the maid right in front of her.

  Those disgusting scenes still exist in her mind and cannot be shaken off, thinking about them makes her feel nauseous.

  It was also from then on that she knew that He Ming's reputation for being a ladies' man was not a rumor, and that almost all the maids in their courtyard had been taken advantage of by him!

  Fortunately, she didn't like He Ming, and after being raped, she had even less good feelings towards him. So when facing this group of maids, apart from feeling disgusted in her heart, she didn't have any hatred like a rival in love.

  After being scolded by He Ming, she finally realized her situation. So when the maid was rude and provocative again, she almost always swallowed her tears, forcing herself to turn a blind eye and deaf ear.

  After all, this place is not where she will spend her whole life. If temporary tolerance can be exchanged for one's own freedom, then what's the harm in tolerating it for a while?

  One day, she will get back all the humiliation that He Mingjia has brought upon her!

  She must get double back!

  Today is the day of return, Bai Xinbi didn't expect He Ming to take the initiative to accompany her back, but after thinking about it, she can still understand He Ming's approach. Presumably he also did this to shut other people's mouths, so as to be 'considerate and reasonable'...

  In the Shangshu Mansion, He Zhengzhou and his wife, Yue Shi, were quite fond of her. Perhaps both of them knew their son's nature, so every time Bai Xingbi went to pay her respects, the couple would show concern and care for her.

  In front of her husband, Bai Xinbi naturally didn't dare to mention the humiliation she suffered at He Ming's hands. Firstly, as a woman, she was too proud and ashamed to speak out in front of outsiders. Secondly, she knew that it was because of her own loss of chastity in the past that she had been retaliated against and humiliated by He Ming. If she were to reveal the truth, then her own loss of chastity would also be exposed.

  No matter what, she would never let this matter be known to outsiders, otherwise, even with the support of the White House, she would have no face to see people.

  On the carriage, He Ming lazily leaned against the wall of the carriage. Seeing the woman get on the carriage, he raised his eyelids and gave a disdainful sidelong glance at the coachman, coldly scolding: "Hurry up, Young Master has to go to Zui Xiang Lou today, if you delay any further, be careful that Young Master will flay your skin."

  Bai Xin's mouth curled up in a cold smile full of sarcasm. He had indeed accompanied her back home just for the sake of saving face for the Shangshu Mansion.

  Compared to Bai Xinbi's haggardness, He Ming was a picture of refreshing spirit. If it weren't for his clandestine debauchery and fondness for playing with women, He Ming would have been considered a handsome man in terms of appearance. Especially those phoenix eyes, which were particularly enchanting, but also added a hint of evil to his beautiful face due to those phoenix eyes. In terms of physique, although He Ming was not from a martial arts family and did not have an overly robust build, he was still quite tall. As for temperament, as someone born into a noble family, he naturally had an air of nobility that ordinary people lacked, but also had a lot of spoiled and arrogant tendencies.

  Anyway, in short, they look like human beings but are actually representatives of beasts in disguise.

  All along the way, neither of them spoke.

  Until the carriage stopped at the entrance of the White Mansion, He Ming suddenly changed his expression and proactively held Bai Xinbi's hand with a gentle and considerate manner. After getting off the carriage, he carefully took care of her, making the servants who came out to welcome them smile with joy. The husband that the eldest miss married is not as shameful as the rumors said!

  Look, how good their relationship is! Look, how much this new brother-in-law loves his big and little sisters.

  Across from their carriage was another luxurious one with a sign of Cheng Wang Fu.

  Bai Xinbi stopped in her tracks, a sudden surge of hatred flashing across the bottom of her eyes. Her hands, which had been resting in her sleeves, clenched into tight fists, and even though her fingernails dug painfully into her palms, she didn't notice.

  Inside that horse carriage, it seemed there was someone else—

  Inside the luxurious carriage, Bai Xin's eyes were blazing with anger as she glared at a certain man who was helping her adjust her attire.

  All the way, this scoundrel didn't let her go, kissing and hugging was fine, but he even almost ate her up on horseback.

  Looking at the thing he held high, she was a little pleased and whispered in Yan Mo's ear: "I wonder how you dare to go out and see people?!"

  He hadn't had his fill of delicious and tender meat, and now hearing her deliberately teasing words, Jun's face sank, the hand that was adjusting hers suddenly turned over, and a palm lightly slapped her buttocks.

  White face with averted mouth, indicating temporary tolerance. This is not a place to play with him - there are outsiders present.

  Actually, she didn't want to return to the White Mansion today. Anyway, everyone knows that she is a waste, and many people probably don't want to see her dressed in gold and jade.

  But in order to see another woman's downfall, she still decided to return to the White Mansion once.

  To put it bluntly, she just came back today to see the excitement!

  I'm hiding in Yanmo's arms, letting him carry me down from the carriage. Anyway, she's a waste of space, all she needs to do is pretend and nobody will care about her behavior being indecent. Everything has been taken care of by the men around her.

  Yan Mo brought the little woman in his arms and swaggered out of the White House under the respectful welcome of the steward.

  Looking at the handsome man in front of her and the delicate woman in his arms, Bai Xin's eyes were spewing venom, and she almost crushed all her silver teeth with a single bite.

  "Hurry up and leave? Look at your cheap appearance, do you still want to get into Wang Gongzi's bed? Cheap person, don't you even look at your own virtue? Not to mention your withered body, but you dare to think of other men in front of me. Don't blame me for not warning you, go back and I'll make you see!" He Ming whispered to Bai Xinyan, his face cold and expressionless, their voices only audible to the two of them. From behind, they looked like a loving couple, a beautiful scene that delighted the onlookers, but no one saw the cruel look on his face.

  It's been said that the young lady of the White Mansion has a crush on Cheng Wang and wants to marry into the Cheng Wang Fu as his concubine. Today, I saw her and it's indeed true. This woman lost her chastity on her wedding night, not to mention hurting her husband's dignity. Now, with a broken body, she still dares to dream of beautiful things. What's even more detestable is that she, as the daughter-in-law of the Shangshu Mansion, has the audacity to covet another man in front of her husband.

  What can be tolerated and what cannot be tolerated!

  This woman humiliated him, and he will never forget it! If she weren't a member of the White Manor, he would have gotten rid of this disgusting and shameless woman long ago!

  Bai Xin's eyes were wide with a pale face, like all the blood had been drained from her body. Her pupils had dense red threads and she looked haggard, with a hint of ferocity like a female ghost. Looking at the hypocritical and despicable man in front of her, she really wanted to kill him with her own hands.

  The servants waiting for them to enter the mansion were even more puzzled, looking at the two people's behavior and expression that didn't match at all, they silently felt suspicious.

  ……

  The grand hall of the White Mansion

  Watching his two daughters and son-in-law return home, Bai Han only felt that his beloved daughter's complexion was a bit off, but he didn't think much of it. After all, He Ming's affectionate appearance towards his daughter had won him over.

  Two couples appeared in the hall, each pair being so loving that even He Lan was slightly surprised. She had always thought that the second son of the He family was a **unrestrained person**, but today she saw that not only did he dote on his precious granddaughter, but he also looked dignified and handsome, although compared to the Crown Prince beside him, his temperament and appearance were slightly inferior, but he could still be considered elegant and refined.

  "Congratulations, I pay my respects to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess!" Among those present, in terms of rank, He Ming was the first to bow his head and pay his respects to Yan Mo Yu and Bai Xin Ran. Only then did he turn around and pay his respects to He Lan Shi on the high platform and to Bai Han who stood beside her.

  The son-in-law pays his respects to his grandmother.

  "The son-in-law pays his respects to his father-in-law and mother-in-law."

  Looking at the legendary playboy now being gentle and courteous, the several masters of the White family all looked unusually surprised, and also secretly pleased. Perhaps this rumor was wrong?

  Today is the day when the eldest daughter of the Bai family returns home, which can be regarded as a family banquet in the Bai family. The one with the most say is naturally He Lan Shi.

  Forget about social status, in terms of generation, she is considered the highest.

  "Please get up quickly, He Ming." He Lan said with a gentle smile.

  He Ming bowed to everyone again, then turned around and took a red gift list from his personal servant's hand. He presented it to He Lan with both hands, saying: "This is the first time my son-in-law has come to the White House. This is a small gift prepared by my father and mother for my grandmother and parents-in-law. Please don't despise my humble gift."

  The maid beside He Lan took the initiative to come forward and receive the gift list, presenting it to He Lan.

  Looking at the numerous precious gifts lined up above, treasures and tonics of all kinds are complete, He Lan's smile in her eyes is even thicker, and her initial impression of this son-in-law has undergone a huge change.

  "Your family is really thoughtful." He Lan nodded repeatedly, with a kind smile on her face.

  He Ming humbly bowed and took Bai Xinbi's hand in front of everyone.

  Who dares to say that this couple is not loving?

  She lowered her head, looking like a shy and timid white-hearted jade, but no one saw the flash of disgust and coldness hidden beneath her disguise.

  Looking at the scene of filial piety, Bai Xincheng's 'fearful' leaned against Yan Moyu's back, his small hands tightly grasping his wide sleeves, as if afraid that he would abandon himself at any time, a timid and fearful appearance, even not daring to lift his head.

  In fact, a certain woman hiding behind Yan Mo's back had already despised him and was about to vomit...

  And beside her, Yan Mo Yu stood tall and upright, wearing a deep blue brocade robe that accentuated his robust physique. His sharp face was expressionless, yet he exuded an aura of superiority that intimidated others. His dark eyes were as deep as a pool, making it impossible for anyone to meet his gaze directly.

  As He Ming made his greetings and presented his gift, the people sitting in the hall couldn't help but cast their eyes on this unparalleled man.

  But he did not make any statement for half a day.

  He Lan furrowed her brow, although she knew that her status was not as high as Cheng Wang's, but this was in the White family, and since that beast still bore the surname White, then she could also be considered a senior of Cheng Wang.

  Bai Han also felt a bit awkward, so he could only instruct the servant beside him: "Quickly, bring chairs for the young master and miss!"

  Ignoring the displeased look on Helan's face, Yin Duo slightly raised his hand behind him, and when he handed over the gift list to him, he walked lightly towards Bai Han: "Father-in-law is above, son-in-law offers a humble gift, hoping father-in-law will accept it with a smile."

  When he called himself his father-in-law, Bai Han slightly eased the awkwardness. At least they still gave him face.

  He Lan felt even more discontented as she was thoroughly ignored, but she didn't dare to vent her anger in public.

  Cheng Wang is a hereditary prince with a title and rank. If one were to be strict about it, everyone present would have to bow to him.

  She could only swallow all her discontent.

  Madam Bai, Zhang Shi, remained calm and composed. Seeing Yan Mo approaching them, she quickly stepped out from behind White Han's body and bowed elegantly, saying: "Your humble servant pays respects to the Crown Prince."

  "Mother-in-law, please get up." Yan Mo nodded slightly in response, acknowledging her courtesy.

  Bai Han lightly took over the invitation from Zhang's hand and gave it directly to Mrs. Zhang without looking at it much.

  "We are all family, no need for formalities. Since childhood, Ran has been ill, and thanks to the kindness of King Cheng, as a father, I am deeply gratified." At this moment, Bai Han's expression was that of a loving father, with a contented smile on his face.

  Hiding behind the ink-stained body, the white heart is about to vomit. The most painful relationship in the world is not abandonment, but after being abandoned, still putting on a disgusting face.

  After the bow and exchange of greetings, among the women present, except for He Lan's wife, Zhang's wife and Bai Xinbi were standing behind their husbands after the men took their seats.

  He didn't sit down in the high position, but instead sat down on the armchair opposite Bai Han, and casually placed Bai Xin on his lap, making her face him, with her back to everyone else. One arm was wrapped around her shoulder, and the other was wrapped around her waist, as if coaxing a baby.

  The people present at the scene widened their eyes, but no one dared to raise any objections.

  Looking at the foolish woman being held in a man's arms like a treasure, Bai Xinbi exerted great effort to endure not going forward and pulling that damned trash out of the man's arms.

  But she's just a useless person who doesn't understand anything, what right does she have to monopolize that man?

  What for?

  And that man, originally belonged to her, his gentleness, his love, his deep affection, his care were all supposed to be hers, the person lying in his arms should have been her, why did that damned waste occupy all of these?

  She didn't care whether it was Cheng Wang's hand or foot on the day of their marriage, nor did she care whether he had found someone to defile her. All she knew was that this deep-seated hatred and resentment she would avenge!

  But before she takes revenge, she will never let go of that trash who took away her happiness for a lifetime!

  In the hall, although there were quite a few people, yet truly daring to speak out was less than two.

  Bai Han Qing spoke up, inquiring anxiously about the two families, and then said lovingly to Yan Mo: "Yan Er has been weak since childhood, I'm afraid she needs more rest. Why don't we let her go back to her room to rest for now? I'll have someone send over some nourishing food."

  Yan Mo nodded slightly to Bai Han: "Thank you, Father-in-law, for understanding. I indeed had this intention. These past few days, Ran Er has been working hard."

  Bai Xin leaned against his chest, enjoying the unique and unprecedented treatment. Suddenly hearing the man's words, she was instantly enraged. Secretly, she pinched the flesh on the man's body through his clothes.

  How shameless! What are they talking about? Afraid others don't know what they've been up to these past two days?

  As soon as I said that, it indeed made everyone present somewhat astonished, with all sorts of inquiring, admiring and envying gazes coming my way.

  Is Cheng Wang really going to marry this good-for-nothing?

  Although the young couple is newly married, Bai Xinzhuang is not a normal person in everyone's impression, so it can't be thought of with the thinking of treating a normal couple. I wonder, how many men would have interest in a woman who is deaf and dumb like an idiot?

  He even openly showed his affection for him and revealed the true nature of their relationship - a real, legitimate one. How could this not shock people?

  The men's eyes on Yan Mo Yu were inquiring and distrustful, while the women's eyes on Bai Xin Yan were envious and jealous.

  Has this clown duck really flown to the branch and become a phoenix?!...

  ……

  The couple followed Guan's guidance and brought Xue Ying and Yin Du to the courtyard where Bai Xin lived before her marriage.

  As the couple entered the room, a blood shadow 'thudded' and closed the door from the outside, standing like a wooden stake at the door, blocking all of Yin Du's line of sight.

  "Hey, you little girl, don't steal the show! I'm a top guard by Master's side." He was very curious about how his master got along with that foolish queen.

  It's not that he is curious, but anyone who is normal would be curious.

  But what's the deal with this cold and icy girl? He was originally Grandfather's bodyguard, but since she appeared, he no longer had a place by Grandfather's side. This girl took one of Grandfather's orders and even drove him, the first-class bodyguard, away, is that reasonable?

  Xue Ying narrowed her eyes and gazed coldly at the man in front of her who looked displeased with her.

  "Want to fight?" Just when Yin Du thought she wouldn't speak to him, Xue Ying suddenly asked.

  Yin Du snorted in disdain, crossed his arms and sneered: "Don't say I'm afraid of you, I'm a man, how could I fight with a woman? If word gets out, wouldn't my brothers under me die laughing?"

  Xue Ying narrowed his eyes and immediately shifted his gaze away.

  Looking at this woman who was even colder and more arrogant than his master, Yin Du's mouth twitched. "......?!" Had he been completely ignored?!

  I heard that this woman is quite skilled with her hands, but I don't know if it's true or not. It's not the right time to test her now, but another day I'll think of a way to let him try out this woman's skills!

  Dare to ignore his existence, occupy his position beside Grandpa, humph! Wait and see!

  Inside the house door

  Bai Xin struggled free from the man's arm and jumped down.

  His mouth corners were raised high, only to be pinched by the woman's small paws, but this did not affect his joyful mood.

  Walking over to the table and sitting down, Bai Xinzhen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you planning on eating here before heading back?"

  Yan Mo sat down in front of her, looking at her and asked: "What's wrong? Don't you want to?"

  Bai Xin rolled her eyes: "I don't want to be poisoned to death." This family is too reckless, who knows if they will poison again?

  He lowered his voice and smiled wryly.

  Thinking of the loving couple seen in the hall earlier, Bai Xin gained some interest.

  "You said that He family's second young master and Bai young lady, are they really in love?" White Xinbi's complexion looked however she was seen not like coming from a loving relationship.

  "What do you think?" The man didn't answer but asked back instead.

  Bai Xin glared at him with a white eye. This man must know something and still pretend!

  "Want to know how He Ming and Bai Xingbi are doing?" The man suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked.

  Bai Xin returned to the Bai Manor today with a heart full of curiosity. She wanted to see how the woman who had tried to push her into the fire pit was now herself trapped in the fire pit.

  She doesn't care if people say she's gloating or that she's heartless and unscrupulous, she just wants to see if there really is such a thing as retribution in this world!

  She understood the implication of the man's words, got up and walked around the table to his side, grasped his wide sleeve and raised her chin: "What are you still sitting for, let's go—"

  ……。

  The courtyard of Bai Xinbi

  In the past, there were always maids waiting outside the door to serve the young lady, but today, all the maids had been dismissed, and not a single person was seen in the courtyard outside the room.

  Inside the house, the woman's cheeks were flushed red, with a misty air at the bottom of her eyes. However, this flush on her face was not because she was shy about doing something. If you looked closely, you would definitely discover that it was just a palm print.

  "You're a lowly person, with your kind of moral character, you still want to marry into the Cheng Wang's household? Don't you take a look at yourself, before even getting married, you've already been tainted by some wild man. Aren't you afraid that after marrying into the Cheng Wang's household, the Cheng Wang will send you off to the military camp to serve as a military prostitute?"

  As for being despised and beaten by He Hong, although it had only been two or three days, Bai Xingbi seemed to have gotten used to it. From crying at the beginning to now silently enduring the violence, no one knew how she had changed like this.

  Listening to He Ming's unbridled and insulting words, she lowered her head, as if resigned to her fate, letting him do as he pleased.

  "This young master hasn't let you off, it's because of your father's face. If you still dare to think about other men for this young master, then don't blame this young master for being heartless and making public the fact that you lost your virginity on your wedding day! At that time, not only will your reputation be ruined, but even the entire White Manor will become a laughing stock!" With a hint of hatred and ruthlessness in his eyes, He Ming thought he had grasped Bai Xingbi's weakness.

  If this woman were clean and decent, he might have treated her well. Unfortunately, he thought of this woman for almost a year, but she didn't feel anything about him, and instead gave her innocence to someone else. This kind of thing, any man would find it hard to swallow!

  Tears welled up in her eyes, and Bai Xin viciously pinched the palm of her hand. After a while, she suddenly lifted her head, her slender and enchanting body leaned towards He Ming, her eyes brimming with tears, her voice low and humble: "Husband, I know I've wronged you, please forgive me for the sake of the Bai family. From now on, I'll be grateful to you and serve you well. As a member of the He family, my heart will no longer belong to anyone else. In the future, I'll only think of you with all my heart."

  She had to endure, she must endure. Rumors said that countless women died at He Ming's hands. She knew that those were not rumors, but true!

  Don't be fooled by his appearance in front of people, he is actually depraved and cruel, can even be said to be inhuman!

  If it weren't for the sake of the White Mansion, the relationship between the two families would still be good; she's afraid that she would have been killed and thrown out by He Ming long ago.

  But how could she die? She absolutely cannot die!

  She also wants to see those who pushed her into the abyss get their retribution one by one... So even if it's a humiliating life, she has to endure it!

  The woman in front of her had a delicate and charming appearance, with a subtle sadness, although somewhat worn out, but compared to the women in the brothel, she was unmatched in both looks and temperament.

  Otherwise, he wouldn't have been thinking about it for so long.

  Looking at the woman's stunning face and her slender, delicate figure, He Ming's eyes gleamed with a wicked light as he hooked his lips, pulled the woman into his chest, lowered his head to nibble on that smooth, tender neck, and his large hand brazenly slipped in from the corner of her clothes.

  This woman is still quite sensible, just because of her appearance and this body that makes men's blood boil, he doesn't want to kill her yet. At the very least, he'll wait until he's had enough fun with her first.

  Bai Xinbi raised her head and cooperated with him as much as possible, even arching her body to stick closer to him.

  So charming and so obedient, He Ming naturally couldn't hold back. It should be said that he had never held back with any woman before.

  A noble lady is indeed different from others. At least compared to those women in the brothel, her skin is tender and smooth, and touching it is simply intoxicating.

  Exquisite and enchanting shoulders were exposed, Bai Xinbi raised her hand to tightly wrap around He Ming's neck, **her skin with a unique fragrance of a daughter, making He Ming's whole body hot and flustered. Adding to that the woman's bashful appearance with downcast eyes, it made him instantly boiling with passion, all surging towards one place.

  He bent down and scooped up the woman in his arms, then headed towards Bai Xincheng's bed.

  Just as he was about to press the woman down on the bed, lower his head and bite that tempting softness, Bai Xinzhi suddenly opened her eyes, and her slender hand pressed against his lips.

  "Husband, this is in the White Mansion, can you spare some face for me?" She was shy and coquettish, with spring water enticing people at the bottom of her eyes, and an indescribable charm and allure were revealed in her watery gaze.

  For several days, He Ming had been hating her. But the woman at this moment was too tempting, making him forget the humiliation she brought to him for a while.

  Thinking of having to face the people from the White Mansion again, his eyes slightly dimmed, somewhat disappointed, but he didn't continue.

  He got up from Bai Xiner's body, his eyes slanted, and he looked at the woman who had suddenly become gentle and affectionate towards him with some coldness: "After we get back, you'd better make it up to me. Today, seeing you being so obedient, I'll spare you for now. Remember, from now on, don't even think about other men. Got it?"

  Bai Xin nodded obediently: "Husband, Bi'er remembers. In the future, I will definitely serve you well."

  He Ming nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "As for your past, I still have some resentment, but as long as you serve me well from now on, don't give me attitude like the last few days. In the future, I won't treat you unfairly either. Remember that?"

  Bai Xin continued to nod, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and her voice was trembling: "Husband, Bi'er didn't intentionally want to show you attitude. In fact, Bi'er is also a victim...". As if thinking of something terrifying, her body began to shake, and tears flowed down in large drops, "That day, Bi'er was raped... Bi'er was originally fine in the wedding sedan chair, but for some reason, she suddenly fainted along the way. When Bi'er woke up... everything was too late!"

  After finishing speaking, Bai Xinbi covered her face and cried sorrowfully.

  He Ming suddenly opened his eyes and said gloomily: "You say that someone was messing with you that day?" Who has such a big nerve!

  The events of that day are still vivid in his memory and will never be forgotten for a lifetime!

  That day when he wanted her, the marks on her were very obvious... I remember before the wedding ceremony, the housekeeper said that the bride had disappeared, and this matter made him and his father feel suspicious, thinking she was going to back out of the marriage.

  But later found the bride's trail at the street corner...

  Damn it!

  Who the hell dares to be so? Having eaten the guts of a leopard, he actually dared to move the person He Ming wants to marry!

  Just thinking about being worn a green hat of such magnitude, He Ming clenched his fists with a cracking sound, and his eyes gradually turned somewhat crimson, it was an insult, and also unwillingness.

  He pulled the woman into his chest and asked fiercely, "Who? Who took your innocence?" He wanted to chop that person into minced meat and feed it to dogs!

  Looking at his ferocious appearance, Bai Xinzhi suddenly shuddered, and deep down, she was still a little afraid of this unpredictable pervert. But when she met He Ming's eyes with a fierce light, she suddenly curled up a cold smile while wiping away her tears.

  Under He Ming's angry gaze, she lifted her head in agony, shaking it and sobbing: "I have no memory of that day at all... I was in a daze... Later when you entered the room, I thought... thought you were that person... So on that day, I was rude to you... didn't want to obey you... Husband, Bi'er is so wronged... But you misunderstood Bi'er too deeply, making it impossible for Bi'er to find an opportunity to explain... Now Bi'er has explained everything clearly... Bi'er should also make a clean breast of it with death..."

  Breaking free from He Ming's hand, Bai Xinbi stood up and ran resolutely towards the corner of the wall.

  However, before her forehead hit the wall, she was wrapped around the waist by a pair of arms.

  "What are you doing?" He Ming frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with her actions. This was in the White Manor, if she died like this, how would he explain it to the people of the White family?

  Thinking back to that day, he suddenly felt that this woman also had a reasonable and excusable side. After all, whether she was the one who took the initiative to lose her virginity or not represented different meanings. Since she didn't intentionally want to humiliate him, he could temporarily forgive her. However, as for the man who made him wear the green hat, if he found out who it was, he would definitely dismember him!

  "Husband, I'm already a withered flower and a broken willow, I have no face to continue living in this world. I don't want to make things difficult for you either. Just let me go. Under the pillow, there's a letter from me, please give it to my father, he won't blame you." Bai Xin covered her face with both hands, her voice was sorrowful and pitiful, her words were resolute and heartbreaking.

  After knowing it wasn't her fault, He Ming furrowed his brow and let out a deep sigh. Then he turned her around, looked down at her and said: "Since this matter isn't your fault, I'll temporarily forgive you. Don't go looking for death again, I don't like that. As long as you serve me well from now on and obey me in everything, I definitely won't mistreat you." She's dead, it wouldn't be good for him or the He family either. This woman, although her body wasn't clean anymore, was still quite pretty after all. Keeping her by his side could also give her some face.

  "Ah, husband..." Bai Xinbi was so moved that she burst into tears and suddenly threw herself into his arms, tightly embracing his waist, her small shoulders shaking violently, pitiful to the extreme.

  Her actions also pleased He Ming, improving his mood greatly, and he reached out to hug her as well.

  No one saw the triumphant smile that rose from the corner of Mei's mouth on her beautiful face buried in He Ming's chest.

  No one saw it, and in an instant, two figures vanished from the rooftop.

  As soon as she returned home, Bai Xinzhen hastily shook off the goosebumps all over her body.

  Looking back at the man sitting on the bench with a calm face, she frowned: "Was it you who raped her?"

  He lowered his eyelids and twitched the ends of his eyebrows, but didn't respond.

  Even if he didn't admit it, Bai Xindye had already guessed roughly.

  That white hearted girl had thought to marry into the Cheng Wang Fu, and even on the day of the wedding she had sat in the sedan chair that came from the Cheng Wang Fu to welcome her. Who knew that all her calculations hadn't accounted for a certain man's black heart. As a result, she suddenly fainted on the road, was dragged away and raped, then sent to the Shang Shu Fu...

  Bai Xinbi's haggard appearance today is obviously caused by He Ming, and the reason must be that he discovered Bai Xinbi's loss of chastity.

  However, she also admired Bai Xinbi's endurance. She endured this breath, and no one said anything.

  It's also useless to think about it, this kind of thing can't be said.

  She gently pulled on the sleeve of Wei Mo's robe, and Bai Xincheng suddenly raised an eyebrow, gave a flirtatious glance, and softly called out: "Husband~"

  "……?!?" Yan Mo was taken aback at first, and then his mouth twitched violently.

  He stretched out his long arm and directly wrapped the person into his arms, a hint of evil smile flashing in his deep eyes, lightly biting that tender and lovely small ear, "Others are so delicate and pretentious because they want to please you, but you, I think it's just because I haven't fed you enough..."

  "......?!?" Bai Xin's face turned pale with cold sweat. Not full yet? She was almost bursting to death, wasn't she?!

  No longer flirting with him, she looked up and said seriously: "Go back, I really don't want to stay here any longer."

  Seeing the deep-seated disgust in her eyes, Yan Mo's gaze sank slightly, and he nodded: "Good."

  Since she didn't like it here, he took her away then.

  That plan can be implemented later if necessary...

  ……

  The courtyard of He Lan's residence

  Looking at her beloved granddaughter, He Lan's heart ached and felt uncomfortable. After all, this marriage was still a compromise for her own granddaughter. Although He Ming looked decent and behaved extremely warmly and politely in front of them, who knew what kind of person he was in private?

  "Bixi, grandmother's darling, I'm really sorry for you." Holding Bai Xingbi's hand, He Lan's face was full of apology and heartache.

  Bai Xinbi shook her head and revealed a sweet smile: "Grandma, He Ming is a good person."

  "Really?" stroking her somewhat haggard granddaughter's face, He Lan asked uncertainly, "Then why would outsiders spread such rumors about him?"

  "Grandma, being unrestrained and carefree is just He Ming's appearance. You also saw that he is warm and courteous, where does he have even half of the air of a spoiled rich kid?"

  "Is he really not the kind of person as rumored?"

  "It's really not."

  He Lan still didn't believe it: "Then why are you so pale? Did he bully you behind your back?"

  Bai Xinbi suddenly blushed and lowered her head: "Grandmother, for the past few days since the wedding, He Ming has been a bit excessive in his affection, so..."

  Hearing this, He Lan thought for a moment and also made some sense, but she didn't agree and said, "You're the same, he's not self-restrained, why don't you refuse? If it goes on like this, you'll make your grandmother worry to death."

  Now that she knew the reason, He Lan also felt a bit relieved, as long as her granddaughter wasn't suffering or being wronged.

  Bai Xin's disguise was pretty good. Although she had been slapped by He Ming not long ago, after applying some cold water and makeup, it didn't look like anything was wrong.

  As for He Lan's doubts, she also had a mind to conceal. After all, what she had gone through was not glorious, and even her loving grandmother couldn't share her pain.

  That pain, she could only bear it alone...

  Moreover, all the pain I suffered was caused by my grandmother...

  She lowered her head, a hint of coldness and hatred flashing across the bottom of her eyes.

  She lifted her head, her expression soft and gentle, with a hint of shyness, "Grandma, He Ming already knows he was wrong, he said he won't do that again..."

  Upon hearing this, Madame He nodded slightly, showing some relief. "When I learned that you were marrying into the Shangshu household, my heart ached for several days and nights, and I almost sent someone to bring you back. But today, seeing how gentle He Ming is with you, my heart has finally settled down somewhat. Hearing you say he treats you well and isn't as rumored, I can finally truly put my mind at ease. Otherwise, letting my precious granddaughter marry a dissolute person... even in death, I wouldn't be able to close my eyes."

  Upon hearing He Lan's heartfelt words, Bai Xinbi subtly curled up the corners of her lips and flashed a cold smile for an instant...

  ……

  Just before noon, as Bai Xinzhi was thinking of leaving, Yan Mo found Bai Hanjing who was just about to bid him farewell.

  "Long live Your Highness..." Suddenly, a soft and gentle female voice came from behind the couple.

  Bai Xin's determination will never waver. Yan Mo similarly didn't look back, as if he hadn't heard anything.

  It was Bai Han who furrowed his brow and asked towards their back: "Bi'er, didn't you go to accompany your grandmother?"

  He knew his daughter's thoughts better than anyone else, but now that things had come to this point, he didn't want her to have any more unnecessary ideas.

  "Dad, I just came from grandmother's place and heard that the Crown Prince is taking my sister back. That's why I'm here," Bai Xingbi explained gently to Bai Han. Taking two steps forward, she stood in front of Bai Xingran, suddenly grasping her hand, smiling extremely sincerely, and asked Meng Yu, "Crown Prince, my sister and I are both married out of the White House now, and it's not easy for us to meet again in the future. Xingbi is here to ask if you can let my sister stay at the White House for one more day, so that we sisters can spend some time together?"

  Hearing this

  Bai Han's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, his deep, old eyes ceaselessly sizing up the daughter he cherished.

  Yan Mo's handsome face slightly sank, his thin lips tightly pursed into a straight line.

  Bai Xin's face turned pale as she lowered her head, although a foolish expression still lingered on her face, but in her heart, a chill suddenly arose.

  Let's not talk about why this woman suddenly changed her tune, just the last sentence alone made her want to slap him - she was mute, how could she chat with others?
