Fifty-two high monks said her disability can still be cured?

  Following the imperial court

  Holding the sleeping woman, he returned to the main courtyard. Yin Du and Xue Ying heard the news of their return and appeared at the first moment.

  "Grandfather, you're finally back!" Yin Du was over the moon with excitement. If Yan Mo hadn't been holding him in her arms, he might have even rushed forward to hug Grandfather's leg and burst into tears. The old lady had been pestering him every day about Grandfather's whereabouts. Although he usually had a lot to say, he couldn't very well tell her anything! He was at his wit's end from being interrogated by the old lady like a judge of hell every day.

  And that old lady was the same, obviously Xue Ying's woman was also in the mansion, why didn't she go find that woman, instead clinging to him and not letting go. It seems men are easier to bully than women?

  "Your Majesty." Blood Shadow's expression was calm and collected, after bowing his fist, he continued, "The Emperor wants you to return immediately and enter the palace, and also asks that you bring the Princess with you."

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo's eyes sank slightly, and his gaze at Xue Ying became even chillier.

  "I will enter the palace soon. Take good care of the princess, and don't let her move around freely when I'm not here."

  "Yes." Huetian's expressionless face replied.

  "Yes, sir." Yin Du also hastily responded.

  He turned and stepped into the room, gently placing the woman on the large pear-wood bed, slowly withdrawing his arm from her neck. Just as he was about to turn and leave, his neck was suddenly wrapped in the woman's arms.

  "Awake?" He gently brushed away a strand of hair from her forehead, revealing her smooth brow, and gazed into her clear eyes as he asked with a low chuckle. She really looked like she was still asleep, almost fooling even him!

  "Are you going into the palace now?" Bai Xiner wrapped her arms around his neck, suspending him above her head.

  It was rare for her to take the initiative to be intimate with herself, and Yan Mo didn't rush to leave either. He sat on the edge of the bed, half-pressing her down, with a thick, unbreakable smile in the depths of his eyes, and his gaze shone like stars.

  "How about it, can't bear to part with your husband?" a teasing low voice asked.

  Bai Xin rolled his eyes and curled up the corner of his mouth. Can he be any more self-absorbed?

  "Didn't His Majesty tell you to bring me into the palace?" She had clearly heard Blood Shadow's words just now. She was somewhat surprised that His Majesty suddenly wanted to see her?

  Yan Mo shook his head: "Don't bother, I'll take care of it for you."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xin let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, she really didn't want to enter the palace. What kind of place was the imperial palace? What kind of person was the emperor? Although she had never seen them before, she had read many history books and watched many TV dramas about such places and people, which were not something she could casually come into contact with. Moreover, if her current foolish appearance were to be presented in front of the emperor, and if she revealed any flaws and the emperor found out, wouldn't that be deceiving the ruler?

  She clutched his neck and didn't let go, Bai Xincheng raised an eyebrow: "What's the deal with that Blood Shadow? Is he your person or the Emperor's?" She had heard him mention the origin of Blood Shadow more than once. Always felt there was some contradiction, not to mention how the Emperor would give such a person to him, even if Blood Shadow himself wasn't a problem, shouldn't he be treated with caution? Who knew what the Emperor was thinking. Yet he actually assigned Blood Shadow to her use, did he really trust Blood Shadow's character that much?

  Looking at her curious expression with a hint of mischief, Yan Mo hooked his lips and dispelled her doubts: "Xue Ying is considered the emperor's person. During an autumn hunt, the emperor bestowed her upon me."

  "......?!" Bai Xinzhi was somewhat bewildered. "But she's clearly the Emperor's spy, aren't you afraid she'll do something behind your back?"

  Yan Mo shook her head slightly: "I'm sitting properly, what's there to be afraid of? Besides, I didn't use it before."

  "Why? Are you still worried she'll betray you?"

  Yan Mo stroked her nose and chuckled, "After all, she's just a woman. Do you want your husband to take a woman on the run every day?"

  Bai Xin smiled and said "hehe". Not bad, she still knows how to love herself!

  "I'll get Blood Shadow to send some food in, you eat your fill first, then rest, I might be back late." Looking at the smile on her face, pure and beautiful, Yan Mo suddenly didn't want to leave, wanting to just chat with her like this.

  Looking at the reluctance in his eyes, Bai Xinzhen raised her chin and pecked him lightly on the lips, smiling softly: "If you come back late, I won't wait for you. You find a place to sleep yourself."

  That means don't disturb her beautiful dream. These days of continuous running around, she really wants to rest well. If this man still wants to bother her in the middle of the night, she thinks she can only die from exhaustion.

  "You heartless thing!" He rebuked lightly, catching her red lips that were about to escape, and kissed her heavily with a punishing meaning.

  Ambiguous voices overflowed from the lips of the two, the man's eyes were deep and hot, his breathing gradually became rough, and he was about to lose control, but he pushed her away slightly, his head against hers, gazing deeply at her: "Or, let me help you clean up before leaving?"

  "......?!!" Bai Xin's mouth twitched as he picked up the other square pillow beside his head and smashed it at him, "Hurry up and get out of here!"

  She's shameless, she has hands and feet, why does she need him to help her bathe?

  She said she was helping her, but there must be something dirty in her mind!

  He slammed the pillow onto her shoulder, but she didn't dodge. He raised his hand to take it away from her, leaned in and pressed her down, holding her face and kissing her directly. The deep eyes were filled with joyful smiles from start to finish, the gentle gaze was like the moon, shining brightly.

  Until the man left, Bai Xinzhi wiped her mouth and cursed viciously.

  Shameless, wanting to leave and yet before leaving, he actually felt her up all over, is there anyone more shameless than him?

  Am I too obedient to him?

  She let out a soft sigh, got up from the bed, went to the door and called for Blood Shadow to prepare hot water, planning to take advantage of the "pervert" not being around to have a good bath.

  The imperial palace in the late afternoon, shrouded in sunset glow, the majestic and grand halls seemed to have been sprinkled with a layer of golden sand, dignified and solemn, showing even more glory and splendor.

  Study Room

  Looking at Yan Mo Yu who had finally returned to Beijing, Xia Gao's serious face was tense, with an air of intimidation.

  "Since you left without bidding farewell for many days, can you give me an explanation?"

  The man below the dragon case was equally serious, even more cold and distant than before.

  "I am willing to accept punishment."

  He resigned from court and left the capital, without leaving a single word or phrase behind. This was already a great disrespect to the emperor, he had nothing good to say.

  "You!" He had originally wanted to hear him explain, at least to help him stabilize the non-approval of the ministers in the court. Unexpectedly, he didn't say a word and directly asked for punishment. Xia Gao was suddenly furious. The dragon's face showed a thin anger, and his eyes became cold and sharp.

  "Your Majesty..." Dequan whispered as he watched Xia Gao's expression change.

  Xia Gao stared blankly for a moment, but his expression gradually eased up a bit.

  "Alright, I'll let you off this time since you've always been loyal to the imperial court. But if you ever neglect your duties like this again, I won't be so lenient!"

  Helpless, he could only find an excuse to step down. He was able to abandon the imperial court for that woman, who knows if he would leave his sight in a fit of anger?

  Alas...

  Xia Gao couldn't help but sigh as he thought about how he didn't understand his son's heart.

  "Thank Your Majesty for pardoning me." Yan Mo made a solemn bow with his hands clasped together.

  "Right, didn't I instruct Blood Shadow to convey my decree and have you bring that Bai woman into the palace? Where is she? Why hasn't she come?" Xia Gao furrowed his brow, clearly displeased with Yan Moyu's attitude of defying the imperial order.

  "I beg to report to Your Majesty, my humble wife is by nature timid and not accustomed to interacting with people. Moreover, she has been living outside since childhood and knows nothing about the rules of the palace. If I were to bring her into the palace rashly, I fear that she would inadvertently offend Your Majesty's authority. Therefore, I have let her rest at home."

  Upon hearing this, Xia Gao's eyes widened in anger: "At this point you still want to deceive me?! The matter of the White Clan I already know about, how much longer do you plan on deceiving me?!"

  He didn't notice at all that his words were inappropriate, and he was thinking of meeting his daughter-in-law with all his heart, completely forgetting that he was just an outsider in front of her.

  "With a lowered voice, laced with three parts respect and seven parts detachment, he said: 'Your Majesty, since you already know, I need not hide it further. My humble wife has her reasons... This is my family's affair, I will handle it myself. Your concern is noted, Your Majesty.'"

  A sentence of "family affairs" made Xia Gaolong's face a few degrees colder, and he just reacted that he had overstepped himself.

  He pursed his thin lips, speechless for a moment. Did he deceive the emperor? At first, no one said that Bai Shi had any problems, it was all because of the words of the university scholar Bai Qing that his daughter was ill.

  He said he disrespected his elders? They have not recognized each other yet, and some are also in a monarch-subject relationship.

  Alas...

  Xia Gao sighed again.

  This is really uncomfortable in my heart.

  Can't bear to intervene, can't bear not to manage and also can't help feeling reluctant...

  "Come to think of it, if that White person is a normal human being, then why don't they want to show themselves normally? Are they planning on going on like this for the rest of their life?"

  He lowered his voice and said, "I'll report back to the Emperor. I have a plan for this matter, so there's no need for the Emperor to worry about it."

  Xia Gao's words were repeatedly blocked, and he felt increasingly stifled. To avoid being suffocated, he simply changed the subject and said seriously: "I have a rather thorny matter here that requires your attention..."

  He picked up a memorial from the dragon case, and Dequan hurried over to respectfully take it with both hands, then walked to the front of Yanmo and presented the memorial to him.

  Yan Mo took the memorial and unfolded it, carefully reading the contents on top, then cupped his hands in response: "Your subject has received your orders."

  He glanced at him and withdrew his gaze, waving his hand: "I suppose you've been busy these days, if there's nothing else, go back. Dequan, see Cheng Wang off."

  "I bid farewell." After making a bow, I put away the memorial and followed Dequan out of the imperial study.

  As he passed by the Imperial Garden, he saw that there was no one around and Dequan stopped in his tracks. Suddenly, with a gentle smile, he said: "Please forgive me for speaking out of turn, but I implore Your Highness not to mind the Emperor too much. The Emperor has watched you grow up, so he always regards himself as your elder. I hope that Your Highness will not be overly concerned about the Emperor."

  He noticed today that Cheng Wang's emotions were distinctly different from before. In the past, when facing the Emperor's concerns, although Cheng Wang was also serious and cold, he would at least accept them and respond to questions.

  But today he repeatedly refused the emperor's concern, and his resistant mood was very obvious, which made him secretly worried about the relationship between father and son.

  In response to Dequan's straightforward words, Yanmo's face sank slightly, and he looked at him with deep eyes, suddenly saying: "This king is indeed grateful for Duke Gong's protection of this king in front of the emperor. However, this king has one thing that is not understood, I don't know if Duke Gong can dispel this doubt for this king?"

  Dequan smiled and asked: "If the king's palace has promoted you, I will naturally help you with all my might if I can be of any assistance."

  He furrowed his brow, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "De Gonggong, I want to know why the Emperor treats me differently from others. You've been by the Emperor's side for the longest time, surely you should be able to guess some of His Majesty's intentions."

  "……?!?" Dequan's mouth twitched, and at this moment he wanted to slap himself in the face. He really shouldn't have said those words earlier!

  He forced a smile, his face stiffening as the wrinkles on his forehead deepened: "Your Highness, you really overestimate me. I don't have the ability to see into people's hearts. Besides, the Emperor is the supreme ruler, even if you gave me dozens of guts, I wouldn't dare to wildly guess at His Majesty's intentions."

  He can't afford to talk too much. Even the emperor hasn't made up his mind about this matter, if he accidentally lets something slip and ruins the emperor's plans, he'll have no choice but to die as an apology.

  "Is that so?" Yan Mo asked faintly in response, his gaze suddenly shifting away to stare at a distant empty space, making it impossible for anyone to discern his true expression.

  But he didn't continue asking questions, which made Dequan secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

  Return to Cheng Wang Fu

  The sky had already darkened, and standing at the fork in the road between Pear Courtyard and Main Courtyard, the man stood with his eyes closed.

  Ever since he found out she wasn't his real mother, he had been in a dilemma.

  I finally understand why he didn't like the Pear Garden for so many years, it's because his closest relatives don't live there. I finally don't have to feel that heaviness every time we meet.

  He wanted to rush in and ask her why she had pretended so thoroughly.

  His father king was called Yan Qiu Hong, the previous king who succeeded him. Then who is his mother? Where is she?

  The place where his father was buried had no one else, is that saying his mother hadn't died?

  Who is the mother in the pear courtyard? Why does she want to play this role by his side.

  Why would the emperor paint for his mother? What is their relationship after all?

  The lanterns hanging from the trees cast a dull, monotonous glow that fell on the man's cold face, making his handsome face seem desolate.

  After a long time, standing at the door of his bedroom, he dismissed the Blood Shadow that was guarding the door and looked at the tightly closed door. His deep eyes finally had a hint of warmth.

  Pushed open the door and walked in.

  After bathing, his body still had a moist scent, his white clothes were clean and soft, that cold and handsome face was softened by the woman's sleeping face, the cool breath dissipated, warmth overflowed from the bottom of his eyes, without the restraint of the jade crown on his head, a head of black hair scattered behind his shoulders, at this moment, the man was handsome, ethereal, as if a celestial being had descended.

  Bai Xin was sleeping soundly, when she suddenly felt her body being moved, and a cool sensation spreading all over her. She opened her eyes, somewhat dazed, and asked: "Did you go to the North Pole? Why is your body so cold?"

  Looking at her drowsy appearance, Yan Mo Yu couldn't help but chuckle softly. He didn't intend to wake her up, but she woke up on her own. With his lips against her ear, he whispered, "Where is the North Pole?"

  She saw him being chilled by the cold water and he secretly mobilized his internal force to warm himself up gradually.

  Bai Xin woke up more than half. He stretched out his hand and pushed him onto the pillow. "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and sleep, don't you see what time it is? If you don't sleep, I'll kick you out."

  She doesn't want to talk to him about the North Pole or South Pole, once she mentions something he's never heard of, he immediately becomes a nag and keeps asking non-stop. It's so annoying!

  Following her momentum, Yan Mo lay down and at the same time brought her into his own arms.

  "Stop it!" Bai Xinzhi slapped him on the wrist, his face pale with rage. "You're driving me crazy! One more outburst and I'll throw you out for real!"

  He didn't mind the ink at all, his big hand was placed on her slender waist, his cheek rubbed against her angry face, and the light in his eyes flashed. "Sleep, I won't move you tonight."

  Bai Xin's face turned white and her lips twitched, but she immediately closed her eyes.

  This man usually looks quite normal, but when he's in bed, he occasionally gives her electric shocks and uses the "beautiful man tactic".

  Unfortunately, she is neither a flower enthusiast nor a woman of loose morals...

  One night, they fell asleep in each other's arms, warm and beautiful.

  The next day

  When I was about to return to the house after attending the morning court session, and just as I was preparing to change out of my formal attire, Yin Du suddenly said that 'the old lady' had arrived.

  Qiu's family surprisingly did not bring any of the concubines from the mansion to the main courtyard, but only brought one maid. Compared to her usual self who was always surrounded by people wherever she went, she looked extremely low-key at this moment.

  She didn't go to the front hall to wait, but directly entered Yan Mo Yu and Bai Xin Ran's bedroom.

  At this moment, Bai Xinzhen was still snuggled in bed, sleeping soundly.

  Looking at the uninvited Qiu Shi, Yan Mo's eyes sank slightly, and he stopped his movement of loosening his clothes. He bowed to Qiu Shi and asked, "Mother, what urgent matter do you have that you're looking for your son in such a hurry?"

  Qiu looked at the bulging lump on the bed, a flash of disgust and dislike in her eyes, but facing the cold black eyes of Sheng Mo, she forced a smile onto her lips.

  "You've been away from home for many days, and your mother was worried. Last night you returned from the palace so late that your mother didn't want to disturb you. She's come over today especially to see how you are."

  After finishing speaking, she walked straight to the table and sat down.

  Seeing this, Yan Mo pressed his thin lips together and didn't say a word. He walked to the bedside and sat down, as if he was guarding something precious to him.

  This scene made Qiu's eyebrows furrow involuntarily.

  He's indeed concerned about this woman!

  How infuriating! She's just a foolish woman, yet she treats him like a treasure. If she knew he was good at this, she wouldn't have let those useless women become the concubines of the Cheng Wang Fu in the first place, and would have simply found him a few worthless women to bring back instead!

  "Mother, what's the matter? You can speak freely. I'm listening." Catching the sinister look in Qiu Shi's eyes, Yan Mo's gaze turned even colder.

  Qiu's thoughts quickly returned, and she suddenly let out a sigh: "Alas, Mother is getting old, and everything feels like an effort. This vast Cheng Wang Fu, which Mother has managed for over twenty years, now feels exhausting. Originally, Mother had planned to hand over the keys to the treasury after you got married, but looking at your wife's appearance, how can Mother feel at ease handing over the entire Cheng Wang Fu to her?"

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo's face darkened and his thin lips pursed tightly.

  "Mother thought, the King's palace should have someone to take over the main affairs. Otherwise, if mother continues to be in charge, it will surely be said that mother has taken over the rights of her daughter-in-law, you say, isn't that right?"

  He shifted his gaze away from Qiu's face and turned to look at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, concealing the chill in his eyes as he spoke in a low voice: "Mother, do you have any good ideas? You might as well tell your son. Your son also doesn't want you to work too hard, you've been laboring for most of your life, it's time for you to enjoy some peace and quiet."

  Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across Qiu's serious eyes.

  He let out a long sigh: "My family has been single-rooted for generations, although our reputation is prominent and our family background is extraordinary, but our population is especially thin. Previously, I chose many concubines for you, also hoping that they could help our family branch out and flourish, letting our family's population thrive. But who knew they would be so disappointing, it's been several years now, and not one of them has announced a pregnancy. And now you've married the White girl, your mother is even more anxious and worried seeing her like this. You say, if we continue like this, won't our family be cut off? What face will I have to meet your ancestors in the afterlife?"

  Qiu said, and then used a handkerchief to wipe away from the corner of his eyes.

  Yu Guang stole a glance at the man beside the bed, but saw that he had been turning his head to look at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed, and couldn't see any expression.

  At this moment, the ink on my face seems to be frozen by cold ice, and the black pupils are extremely cold. The hand in the sleeve has already clenched into a tight fist. Even on the full forehead, several jumping blue veins have emerged.

  "Is Mother thinking of having her son take in a concubine?" The low voice was devoid of any emotion.

  But Qiu Shi was extremely satisfied with his attitude. The face that had just been filled with sorrow immediately piled up a few degrees of warmth and smile: "Yu Er, mother knows you are a sensible child, regarding the future of Cheng Wang Fu, I believe you will not disappoint your mother. I am not disgusted with Bai Shi, I just hope that our Cheng Wang Fu will be prosperous and prosperous for generations to come. Besides, you are also old enough, and it's time to have children, so as not to be talked about behind your back."

  Qiu Shi paused for a moment, then continued: "Mother wants to choose two concubines for you. Firstly, they can help manage the household chores of the Wang Fu, so I can reduce my workload. Secondly, after they enter the manor, they can also serve White Shi, so you don't have to do everything yourself and affect your own health."

  "Mother." Yan Mo finally turned his head, his eyes gazing solemnly at Qiu Shi, his sensual thin lips with a hint of coldness, "This time when my son left the capital, he happened to meet a Taoist monk who told him that Cai Er's crippled body is not incurable."

  Upon hearing this, Qiu's eyes widened in surprise as she pointed at the bulging quilt on the bed and asked incredulously: "What? You're saying her disability can still be cured?"

  Yan Mo nodded calmly: "Yes, that's what the Taoist monk said."

  Qiu Shi obviously didn't believe it: "What method did that monk say could cure her?"

  "We need to find a master who can exorcise evil spirits and then look for some rare medicinal materials, only then can we cure the crippled body of our child."

  Bai Xinzhen, who was lying on the bed, heard this and his mouth corners were about to cramp up.

  Actually, Qiushi had just come in and she woke up. She simply didn't want to talk to this old woman, so she pretended to sleep all the way through. She still couldn't believe that this old woman would dare to strip her off the bed in front of her son.

  Listening to Qiu's words, she almost got out of bed and went to kick the old woman. She actually instructed her man to sleep with another woman, damn it, did she think she was dead?

  She waited patiently for the man's response, wondering if he would accept or decline the old woman's arrangement, but unexpectedly, the man suddenly made up a monk.

  Can he make up more nonsense?

  Qiu's expression suddenly turned silent, her head lowered as if lost in thought. A moment later, she raised her head, the smile at the corner of her mouth somewhat stiff: "Since there is a high monk guiding us, it must be trustworthy. Mother also hopes that Bai Shi can become like a normal person, so that not only can she talk to mother, but also help mother take care of everything in Cheng Wang Fu. This is indeed something to look forward to."

  She stood up, and Qiu Shi didn't wait for me to respond, continuing, "Since you have this idea of curing her, then your mother won't rush to find a concubine for you. Everything will be discussed after the treatment of Bai Shi is over. You take good care of yourself, Mother is leaving now."

  He nodded expressionlessly and remained seated. "Have a good trip, Mother."

  Watching that proud figure leave, Yan Mo narrowed his eyes, and the light in his eyes was like a knife blade, making people's hearts cold.

  Bai Xin turned around, raised her hand and pulled his face over to hers, looking at him with a smile but saying nothing.

  "What's so funny?" The cold air that had been hidden all over Yan Mo's body dissipated by half, but his handsome face was still tense, and he patted her smiling face with a slap, scolding, "It's all for you, heartless thing."

  Bai Xin rolled her eyes and said: "I was laughing at your foolishness. She arranged a woman for you like this, yet you're willing to give it up?"

  He leaned in close to her, his lips lightly biting hers, the cold air at the bottom of his eyes already gone, replaced by a warm and gentle glow like the moon. "Husband is listening, but it seems like there's a sour taste?"

  "Get out!" Bai Xincheng slapped a palm on his handsome face, directly pushing him away. Suddenly, she spoke in a cold voice, "Surnamed Yan, don't blame me for not warning you. If you dare to do anything with other women behind my back, I'll make sure to cut off your brother's flesh and turn it into dried meat!"

  He's got a cruel glint in his eye. This woman, isn't she being too ruthless?!

  He directly pounced on her and pressed her down, twisting her head and kissing her.

  "Divorced? What will you use after divorcing me?"

  "Use cucumber!" She dared to bite him, he was so angry!

  A moment later, the woman's wailing and scolding voice came from under the quilt.

  "You dare to hit my butt again, believe it or not, I'll use a cucumber to explode your vagina!"

  ……

  Qiu Shi walked back on the road, getting angrier and more resentful the more he thought about it.

  The person on the dragon chair can't even control his own adopted son of over 20 years, what a shame, what a failure!

  And that foolish woman, if she were really cured of her disability and became a normal person, with her dignified identity as the princess consort, wouldn't she be crawling all over me?!

  How can this be?!

  It was hard enough to come up with a way to sneak someone into the main courtyard, but then that woman's actions completely ruined everything.

  It seems she must take action before this foolish woman recovers and becomes a normal person again...

  The next day

  Bai Xin had just finished her breakfast when Bai Ying came to report that her father, Bai Han, had arrived at the Wang Manor to see her.

  Bai Xin was slightly taken aback, but then let Xue Ying take him to the front hall.

  After a cup of tea

  Bai Xinzhen sat in the chair in the great hall, one hand holding a piece of wood and the other holding a sharp little knife, carefully and quietly carving something on the wood, but his ears were always paying attention to Blood Shadow's movements.

  "Blood Shadow Maiden, I came here today with no other intention but to take a look at Ran. I heard that she returned to Mao Shan village a few days ago and I was worried. Seeing you, Princess Wang, safe and sound today has put my mind at ease." Bai Han slightly collected his official demeanor and spoke humbly to Blood Shadow.

  That benevolent father-like face was tainted with a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

  Xue Ying looked at Bai Han's lightly brought things by the housekeeper, still with a cold and indifferent expression.

  "Master Bai has taken pity on us."

  Facing someone who neither flattered nor catered to him, Bai Hanlin felt quite helpless. Fortunately, he also knew that this Blood Shadow had always been like this; otherwise, if it were someone else, he would have turned hostile long ago.

  "The princess is taken care of by Miss Blood Shadow. She can't speak for herself, so as her father, I'd like to thank Miss Blood Shadow on her behalf."

  "It's no trouble at all, Your Excellency; attending to Her Highness is a small matter indeed."

  Talking to Xue Ying has a characteristic, even if you rack your brains to find topics, she also has the ability to be silent, making it impossible for you to say anything even with a lot of words.

  Seeing this, Bai Han had no choice but to bid farewell: "Then I'll take my leave first." After finishing speaking, he still looked in the direction of Bai Xincheng with concern, then left with the housekeeper.

  Recently, I heard that this abandoned woman was being neglected by King Cheng's palace, and there was even a possibility of abandonment. He hadn't slept well for several days. It wasn't easy to get close to King Cheng, but it had only been a short time, and he still hadn't gained anything substantial.

  It's said that Cheng Wang has brought him back, but he still doesn't feel at ease, so he came over to take a look.

  Now that he saw the abandoned girl safe and sound, he was completely at ease. It seemed that King Cheng was really extremely concerned about her, otherwise he wouldn't have personally gone to Maoshan Village to pick her up.

  When Bai Hanqing's figure with Guan Jia had completely disappeared, Bai Xinyan finally put down the wooden carving in his hand and pointed to a pile of gifts sent by Bai Hanqing.

  "Open it and see what's inside?"

  Xue Ying opened several wooden boxes one by one and placed them on the table.

  There were several boxes inside, all of which were filled with nourishing food and medicine. It was clear that Bai Hanlin had put in some thought.

  Bai Xin smiled mockingly. This old man, nothing is done without going up to the Three Treasures Hall.

  As for Bai Han's visit to the mansion to see her, she didn't mention it to Yan Mo either. For such a 'father', she consciously screened him out.

  But the next day, Xue Ying suddenly came to tell her that a famous old woman claimed to be Bai Xindian's great-grandmother and was begging to see Bai Xindian at the gate of the mansion. She also said that she had cried and made a scene in front of the gate of Cheng Wang Fu with the guards, which was really pitiful and attracted many onlookers.

  Someone is making a scene at the entrance of Cheng Wang's mansion, claiming to be the maternal grandmother of Cheng Wang's consort. Bai Xinzhu originally didn't want to bother with her, but thinking twice, this person has come all the way to their doorstep to cause trouble, and if they don't give in, it would make Cheng Wang's mansion seem ungracious. Isn't that losing face for her own man?

  With a wave of his hand - look!

  The living room

  An elderly woman with gray hair on both sides of her temples sat in the guest seat, around fifty or sixty years old, dressed and dressed quite decently. A pair of old eyes looked around, and wherever they went, they were full of wonder and admiration.

  Bai Xin was once again led to the hall by Xue Ying, looking foolish and stupid. Although she lowered her head, she couldn't help but steal glances at this person who claimed to be her paternal grandmother.

  She had memories of this body, but unfortunately, when she was sent out of the White House at that time, she was too young to have any impression of these so-called relatives, let alone a sense of closeness.

  The old woman in front of her, although a guest, seemed somewhat haughty and even a bit complacent. White Heart Stain couldn't help but slightly frown - what's there to be so pleased about when visiting someone else's home?!

  Especially his wife's pair of narrow and long eyes, vaguely revealing a hint of cleverness, making her unconsciously unlikable.

  "Old lady, our princess has arrived, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects?" Blood Shadow coldly reminded her.

  Looking at the young woman in front of her, dressed up with gold and jade ornaments, the old lady's eyes flashed a hint of brightness, but when she saw her silly expression, those narrow old eyes also flashed a hint of disdain.

  Facing the cold and proud Blood Shadow, the old woman slowly stood up, seemingly somewhat unwilling, and slightly bent her knees to pay respects: "The old woman greets the Crown Princess."

  She stared at her with a curious gaze, blinking her eyes as if she hadn't seen anything.

  "Get up." Blood Shadow's voice was cold once again.

  The old woman straightened her waist, suddenly reached out and grabbed Bai Xinzhi's hand, and that old face suddenly changed like the weather, with tears streaming down: "My dear grandson! I thought you were going to die... Wuuu... You've suffered so much all these years... It's all because your grandmother was useless... couldn't protect you... let you drift outside for so many years... Your grandmother is guilty... Your grandmother is ashamed..."

  Watching her suddenly burst into tears and wail loudly, Bai Xincheng almost wanted to shake her off and storm away.

  What's wrong with your brain?

  Grandmother?

  Ha! That's really funny!

  She has been back in the capital for some time, and this so-called grandmother hasn't shown up yet. Now that she's married, she suddenly appears, with a look of apology on her face. What is going on here?

  Knowing she was struggling outside all those years, yet no one cared about her life or death, now regretting?

  Can you make this farce even more realistic?

  "Bai Xinran" has already been driven to death by these ruthless relatives!

  A cold glint flashed in Xue Ying's eyes as he ruthlessly pulled out the hand that Bai Xin had grasped from the old woman.

  "Old lady, control your emotions! If you scare our princess into something bad, be careful that the king will punish you!"

  Upon hearing this, the old woman suddenly stopped crying and looked at Bai Xiner with a hint of resentment. She said to Blood Shadow: "This young lady, I didn't intentionally try to scare your princess. It's just that I haven't seen my granddaughter in over a decade, and I'm too excited. Please forgive me."

  "Old lady, you've come to the Wang Manor for a reason, so just say it. Our princess has never been one to get close to people." Blood Shadow reminded her with an expressionless face.

  Bai Xin dyed her heart in her heart and gave her a thumbs up. Sometimes she really felt that this blood shadow was the worm in her belly.

  Upon hearing the implicit order to expel from Blood Shadow, the old woman's expression turned somewhat unsightly. However, she quickly regained her composure and looked at Bai Xintong with a pained expression: "I just miss this child too much."

  She didn't say those words, and perhaps Bai Xinzhen would still have some good feelings towards her. However, after accepting the memories of this body, she especially hated it when people said such things.

  She's just here to annoy me!

  'Bai Xin Ran' was left to fend for herself in Mao Shan village since she was a child, the Bai family still knows about it, how could her maternal grandmother not know?

  If I really missed her, I would have gone to Cao Shan Village to see her long ago. Would I still be waiting for this moment to cry and complain?

  She really wants to know what family affection means to these people.

  "Old lady, you've seen the princess too, she's living a good life now, our king is very fond of her, you can rest assured. If there's nothing else, please leave." Blood Shadow spoke again, this time directly giving an order to leave.

  The old woman's sharp eyes flashed with a hint of tension, seeing Blood Shadow really wanting to drive people away, she quickly piled on a smile, this time not pulling Bai Xinyan's hand, but instead pulling Blood Shadow's hand.

  "Hey girl, don't be in such a hurry to drive the old lady away, okay?" She glanced at Bai Xiner who seemed not to understand anything and continued, "You see, I'm after all your princess's paternal grandmother, although she was very young when she left the capital city, maybe we're not close, but I'm still her closest relative. Be nice and let us grandmother and granddaughter catch up with each other, okay?"

  Bai Xin suddenly walked to one side, as if she hadn't heard anything, and saw a plate of pastries on the table. She casually picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. While eating quietly, she listened quietly.

  "Old lady, just say what you want to say." Xue Ying's face turned cold as she withdrew her hand, a flash of chilliness quickly passing through the bottom of her eyes. If someone familiar with her were present, they would definitely know that she had developed a murderous intent.

  Perhaps it was because of the strong aura on her body that made the old woman have a few points of fear, so she didn't go to pull her hand again. She suddenly took out a purse from her bosom and handed it to Blood Shadow, with a flattering smile.

  "I've come in a bit of a rush and didn't bring any gifts, I'm afraid I've made a poor impression. This is just a small token from me, I hope you won't think it's too little."

  The blood shadow did not take it, although the money bag was heavy, and at a glance, you could tell that the amount was sufficient. However, in her clear and calm eyes, there was no excited light, only a gloomy haze.

  The old woman was somewhat embarrassed and stiffened at the sight of blood. Was it because she thought it was too little?
