The pampered wife, unbridled and unruly, died of a broken heart at 54.

  Pfft!

  White heart stained with a cruel mouth corner, and on the forehead there are even more black lines.

  The man in her family can look up to her because of his poor eyesight. I didn't expect that there is not only a nearsighted person here, but also someone whose brain is out of order.

  Damn it, she's someone else's wife!

  Digging a corner is not as bad as choosing someone like her?

  In the eyes of outsiders, she is nothing but a useless person!

  A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Feng De Wang, this joke isn't funny at all."

  "Joking?" The man's mouth corners rose, "This king has never joked. What Cheng Wang can give you, this king can also give you. How about it, want to consider? Follow this king, and this king can guarantee your life will be worry-free. Anyway, you're already in this king's hands, Cheng Wang won't be able to find you."

  Bai Xinzhen is a thorough affirmative The man in front of him has become a psychopath!

  The man in front of her, from head to toe, was elegant and refined, with an extraordinary temperament. Compared to the men in her family, he had a natural air of pride that came from within. But it was precisely this pride that made her feel extremely annoyed. She still preferred the introverted and low-key style of the men in her family. They might be a bit dull, but they were pleasant to look at.

  As for his appearance, the man in front of him can also be said to be a rare handsome man. From the outline of his face to the curve of his eyes, it's as if he was painted by a master painter. Unfortunately, because of the arrogant aura on his body, his eyebrows and eyes are tinged with a hint of evil, making people feel that he doesn't seem like a good person at first glance.

  Like her husband, although he always has a cold expression, he is full of masculinity.

  Anyway, one sentence - whether looking horizontally or vertically, her husband is the most handsome!

  She wants to climb over the wall? Dream on! She's still worried about falling off the top of the wall and getting herself killed!

  "Feng De Wang, can you say something serious for once?"

  "What's wrong, do you think I'm inferior to Cheng Wang?" Summer Li Xun's handsome face turned slightly cold as he narrowed his eyes.

  Bai Xin raised an eyebrow: "Do you think these questions are interesting? I'm a married woman!"

  "What if I say I don't mind?"

  Hiss!

  Bai Xin's face turned red as she smiled. In fact, she had probably guessed it, this man was just afraid that she would reveal his affairs by talking too much, so he wanted to keep her captive by his side.

  She just didn't understand, if they were afraid she would leak secrets, why not kill her directly, wouldn't that be more reassuring?

  "But I mind!" Her husband is a clean and honest man, she must be out of her mind to choose this kind of man.

  You think about it, a man can dig other men's corners at any time. Can such a man still be clean in private?

  "Hahaha~" The man suddenly burst out laughing again with his head thrown back.

  This woman is not only good at disguise, but also has the guts. The foolishness in her eyes may be fake, but the calm and composure in her eyes are not something that can be faked.

  Who says that the one who married Wang is a useless person?

  This is clearly marrying a treasure back home.

  It's interesting...

  Once again hearing his maniacal laughter, Bai Xincheng almost couldn't help but curse loudly!

  Fortunately, the man was only intermittently mad. When his laughter stopped, he suddenly looked at Bai Xinduan: "If the Princess does not mind the simplicity of this palace, why don't you stay for lunch before leaving?"

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng was somewhat surprised: "You want to let me go? Aren't you afraid I'll leak the secret?"

  Whether you eat or not is irrelevant, being able to leave is the best!

  The man's eyebrows slightly raised: "Can you?"

  Bai Xin shook her head and suddenly looked confused: "I don't know anything."

  "Hahaha~" For some reason, the man burst out laughing again.

  Bai Xin furrowed his brow. Neurosis, if you don't laugh, it'll be fatal!

  ……

  The spacious hall was decorated with gold and jade, but Ye Xiaonuan didn't have the mood to appreciate the scenery at this moment. She only fixed her gaze on that table of brightly colored food.

  Is there anything in these things?

  She shook her head and negated her own thoughts. If this man had really harbored evil intentions towards her, he would have taken action directly, why would he need to resort to such despicable means?

  Just as she had not yet sat down, a small servant suddenly rushed into the hall and said to the man with the noble air: "Report to Your Highness, Cheng Wang has arrived."

  The man raised an eyebrow and his gaze suddenly swept towards Bai Xindian, saying in a light tone to the young servant: "Please invite him in."

  Hearing that her husband had arrived, Bai Xintian no longer had the heart to eat and hurriedly walked towards the door. Just as she stepped out of the doorway, she saw her own husband walking towards her.

  With a handsome face, wrapped in a cold aura, both cold and cool, for some reason, at this moment, Bai Xintong suddenly felt that her man was simply matchless.

  She darted over quickly and had already wrapped her arms around his sturdy waist before the man could even stretch out his hand.

  She hasn't seen him for half a day and she's already missing him!

  Her slender waist was instantly wrapped around his sturdy arm, the force of which was somewhat heavy, as if it would strangle her at any moment. Bai Xintong slightly furrowed her brow, but when she felt his arm tremble slightly around her waist, she sniffled and said nothing.

  The two of them just hugged each other in the midst of a crowded courtyard.

  The man's broad chest enveloped the woman's delicate body, and as he gazed at this beautiful and harmonious scene, Xia Lixun suddenly narrowed his eyes, inexplicably feeling a stinging sensation.

  "The king's actions are indeed swift." The sentence is unclear whether it's praise or sarcasm.

  Embracing his own woman, Yan Mo did not take another step forward, but instead looked coldly at the man in front of him from a distance: "My concubine was attacked on the way, thanks to King Feng De for lending a hand to rescue her, I am eternally grateful."

  Hearing this, Bai Xin's expressionless face lifted up, looking at him. "......?!!"

  What's going on? Who said that psycho saved her? Obviously he was the one who hijacked himself here, wasn't it?

  He glanced down at the puzzled expression of the woman in his arms and Yan Mo secretly shook his head at her.

  The man opposite suddenly smiled and said, "It's just a small effort, don't worry about it. You and I are officials of the same dynasty, in the future when I need help, I will still have to rely on you."

  "As long as it's not for any nefarious purposes, I naturally won't decline."

  He paused for a moment before speaking again: "I'm afraid the queen is too shocked and needs to rest, so I won't disturb King Feng De anymore. Farewell."

  He bent down and scooped her up in his arms, carrying her away with long strides without looking back.

  Bai Xin felt that he had been holding his own arm very tightly all along.

  ……

  On the carriage, Yan Mo ordered the guards who followed to retreat and only let Xue Ying wait outside the carriage.

  He sat the woman on his lap, his deep eyes constantly scanning her body.

  "But have you been wronged?"

  He suddenly discovered that the woman's wrist had been strangled, and his black pupils instantly burst out with a chill.

  Bai Xinzhi knew he was worried about himself, seeing that look on his face, he quickly shook his head: "Nothing much, just that he's afraid I'll run away, so he tied me up with a rope for a while."

  He touched the red mark on her wrist and his eyes were filled with heartache as he asked in a low voice: "Does it hurt?"

  "It's okay. Just go back and apply some ointment and it'll be fine."

  His arm suddenly wrapped around her, holding her tightly: "As your husband, I shouldn't have let you out."

  Knowing he was blaming himself, Bai Xinzhen pulled him into a hug and patted his back: "This has nothing to do with you, that guy must have wanted to deal with me long ago."

  He stared blankly for a moment, then asked, "Does he know?"

  Bai Xin nodded: "Just as you said, he had actually been suspicious of me for a long time. That day when he came to Cheng Wang Fu, he was indeed trying to probe me."

  "Has he bullied you?"

  Bai Xin shook her head: "No. He just asked me some things."

  "Talk with me."

  Bai Xincheng then recounted the conversation between the two to Yan Moyu, of course skipping over the matter of the chest being touched. As for the matter of digging at the corner of the wall, she didn't dare reveal even half a sentence.

  She knew that if this man were to find out, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  Moreover, her intuition told her that if this man knew even a little bit, she would be the first to suffer.

  After hearing it, Yan Mo didn't say a word, he just held him tightly in his arms.

  "Oh, right, how did you thank him just now? It was clearly him who kidnapped me!" Bai Xindye thought back to the conversation between the two men and couldn't understand.

  "Fool." He stroked the back of her head, saying softly, "You appeared at the Feng De Wang Fu for no reason. If it gets out, I'm afraid people will gossip."

  When she heard this, Bai Xincheng was stunned for a moment, and only then did she understand the reasoning behind it.

  In this era, it's still not open-minded enough for men and women to casually date...

  She didn't think that this man would consider her like this, he could have beaten the other person severely, but for the sake of her reputation, not only did he not dare to beat the other person, but also had to owe the other person a favor.

  For her reputation, he had to swallow this loss...

  "You idiot..." She raised her head and bit his thin lips.

  Does she need such a good reputation? With her current state, I'm afraid she's already been despised by the world to the point of being trampled underfoot!

  Because of her initiative to kiss him, Yan Mo was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the back of her head, turning passive into active, and gave her a passionate and fiery kiss.

  Until his big hand touched between her thighs, Bai Xintong suddenly woke up and quickly grabbed him, "Let go, don't you see where this is?"

  Her low voice had a few hints of hoarseness, and her eyes had a thread of dizziness, no matter how she looked or listened, it seemed like she was coquettish to him, suddenly making the gloomy air on Yan Mo's body decrease by more than half.

  His thin lips curled up slightly as he leaned in close to her ear, his breath whispering seductively: "Outside there's only Blood Shadow, no one else."

  "......?!!" Bai Xin's lips curled up in a fierce sneer. It seemed that Xue Ying was not considered human in his eyes?

  Alright, she admitted that N had opened the door for them many times, and it seemed like she, a girl, had never been so twisted because of listening to others. Indeed, there was something not quite human about her, especially not like a woman...

  "I'm going back."

  "Are you not going to Ji's house?" He raised an eyebrow and asked. It's better not to go, anyway, I'll go back to the mansion later and continue what I didn't finish!

  "Bai Xin shook her head: 'Forget it, I'm not in the mood to play around with those people now.'"

  Rather than going to see those people's fake faces, she might as well return home and live a peaceful life.

  After what happened last time, thinking about it now, she's still quite scared.

  Fortunately, Wang Gongde's brain is of the type that gets flooded and then becomes clear-headed. If he were a normal person, she would probably be dead by now.

  For now, she doesn't care how the Ji family wants to treat her. Even if they were to offer her a mountain of gold, she still doesn't want to have anything to do with them again.

  Through this matter, she felt that in the future she should take better care of herself. Only by taking good care of herself would she not let the men around her worry or be troubled, and only then would she not drag them down or become a burden to them.

  ……

  Ji Jia

  Madam Ji had made arrangements since yesterday and seriously instructed everyone in the house. No matter how disgusting and hateful that good-for-nothing was, they had to endure it and serve him well.

  Ji Tai's son, Ji Mobaibai, also known as Bai Xin's nominal uncle, was very much in agreement with his own mother's words. It was he who first thought of it and came up with the idea to let Ji Tai go to the Wang Manor.

  He was also forced to do so, his eldest son is now in prison and may be beheaded at any time. As a small sixth-grade inner cabinet servant, how could he compete with Zhang Ziqing, the third-grade Hanlin Academy's chief scholar?

  The Bai family, they can forget about it. Initially because of their own sister's matter, they had already completely fallen out with the Bai family. Even if they knew that the current White House and the Minister of Justice were relatives, they wouldn't be able to go ask for help. They had long been clear about the character of the Bai family people, let alone whether the Bai family would help, even He Lan's old shrew would personally take a broom to sweep them out!

  For now, they can only place their hopes on that useless daughter of the Bai family. Who let her be the current Crown Princess anyway!

  Although Cheng Wang said he didn't take charge of the Ministry of Punishment, he was a favorite minister of the Emperor. Just based on this point, if Cheng Wang is willing to show his face and help them out, the Ministry of Punishment will at least give some face to Cheng Wang.

  But they couldn't possibly find Cheng Wang directly, after all, they also knew that with Cheng Wang's temperament, he would not easily interfere in other people's business. In order to win over Cheng Wang's favor and bring the Ji family closer to the Cheng Wang Fu, they had no choice but to set their sights on that useless daughter.

  Invite her to stay at the Ji's house for a few days, let everyone see that they are treating the Crown Princess with sincerity. In this way, not only can we intimidate the Ministry of Punishment and make them slightly cautious, but also spread the news to the Crown Prince, letting him know that they have a close relationship with the Crown Princess. When the time comes and they need to ask for something from the Crown Prince, he will surely be too embarrassed to refuse.

  Zimo Bai had calculated everything a thousand times, ten thousand times, and yet he still hadn't accounted for the things that would happen to Bai Xinzhu on his journey.

  Who would have known that King Pyeongdeok just happened to intervene and ruin everything they had carefully planned?

  The whole family waited at the gate for nearly an hour, but there was no sign of the Marquis's carriage.

  Not even an announcement was made.

  As noon approached, not only was Ji Mo Bai somewhat annoyed, but Old Lady Ji was also unable to hold back her temper, gritting her teeth and scolding: "How dare you, actually playing tricks on us like this!"

  That useless thing is really useless, and she's still trying to get close to her! She's clearly a senior, but she still has to kneel down to that useless thing. Now that the Ji family is in trouble, that useless thing is sitting in the queen's position, but can't even help with anything.

  What's the point of living for someone like this? They might as well be dead!

  If she hadn't given birth to her, her daughter wouldn't have been killed either.

  Now that the good-for-nothing has returned, his grandson encountered such a disaster. The good-for-nothing is indeed a reincarnated star of calamity. He had just returned to the capital for a short while and managed to get his grandson thrown into prison!

  "Mother, she probably won't come!" Ji Mo's eyes had a hint of disappointment, and his heart also carried a thread of resentment.

  "Alright, I know. Let's all go back." Old Lady Ji waved her hand at everyone with a bad temper.

  Waiting until the other members of the Ji family had all gone back, Ji Mo Bai anxiously said: "Mother, what should we do? Feng Er is about to be executed!"

  The old lady frowned: "I don't know what's going on either, yesterday the king himself promised to let that useless girl come to our house. Could something have happened?"

  Ji Mo Bai sighed and shook his head, feeling a deep pain. It seemed that saving his son was hopeless...

  "Mo Bai, you go back first, I'll go to Cheng Wang Fu to take a look, what's going on." She didn't believe that the prince of Cheng Wang was a person who would go back on his word.

  "Mother, why don't I go with you?" Ji Mo Bai reignited a glimmer of hope.

  The old lady shook her head: "No need, I'll just take Cuizhu with me. You go ahead and attend to your business, just wait for my news." The maid next to the abandoned girl had told her that the abandoned girl didn't like to be in contact with too many people, so it was better for them to keep a low profile.

  ……。

  Heir of the Wang Clan

  Once back in the room, Bai Xin was dragged back into the house by a certain man. The fire that had been lit earlier in the carriage had not gone out, and the man insisted on finishing what he had started before letting her go.

  It's almost noon, and the two of them are in the room, rolling around on the bed sheets until they even forget about lunch.

  Lying on my chest, the white heart is stained with numbness like mud, the whole body is like being sucked out of bones, the body that has been poured over, the fragrant sweat is continuous, the eyes are intoxicating, not to mention how tempting it is.

  The man's eyes were fixed on the woman, his mouth dry and tongue parched. Suddenly, he was excited again, his large hands ceaselessly roaming over the woman's sweaty, smooth back, causing Bai Xinyan to tremble lightly once more.

  "Alright, stop it." She patted him on the chest, signaling him to stop. After a passionate and intense love-making session, she felt like she was out of breath.

  It's all well and good that he's satisfied, but can't he at least give her some time to recover? One thing after another, his waist is almost broken from being messed with.

  He gently bumped her, and with a hint of a smile in his eyes, he gazed at her, looking at her slightly annoyed expression, the more he looked, the better his mood became.

  "Ah——" He made a move and Bai Xincheng thought he was going to start another round of battle, so she quickly flipped over and shrank to the side of the bed.

  The two were forced apart, and a hint of discontent flashed in her dark eyes. He endured it and pulled her into his own arms.

  The sudden emptiness made Bai Xin's face flush with embarrassment, especially when she felt the liquid flowing down her legs. Her cheeks burning, she pinched the man's waist fiercely.

  Neither of them spoke, they just exchanged a glance, and an inexpressible heart-throbbing feeling flowed between their hearts.

  Although I was a bit dissatisfied with some of my desires, I still pitied her. I raised my hand to wipe the fine sweat from her forehead and leaned down to kiss her.

  "I'll have Blood Shadow bring in some hot water. We can eat after we've washed up, all right?" After a long while, he sat up, his eyes cast down as he spoke hoarsely.

  Heaven knows how much he wanted to push her down under his body now, with that three-point resentment and seven-point charm look on her face, even if he didn't do anything, it made him ache badly.

  If I continue to ask her, tonight's dinner can probably be waived...

  Glancing at him in a certain place, Bai Xintong couldn't help but laugh. This man seemed to be getting more and more addicted to this kind of thing.

  Let Blood Shadow prepare the hot water and retreat, then Yan Mo Yu lifted the luxurious and thick bed curtain, naked, and carried the weak and boneless woman into the large bathtub.

  "Master, Lady Qi is outside the manor and wishes to see you." Blood Shadow's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

  He slightly raised his eyelids and ordered towards the door: "Let her wait in the front hall."

  Looking at the woman who was drowsy from soaking in hot water, he hooked his lips, cleaned each other after washing, dried his body, and put her back into the quilt.

  And he was dressed neatly, whispering softly in her ear for a long time before walking out of the room.

  ……

  In the foyer

  The old lady waited for a good half an hour, and was on the verge of exhausting her last bit of patience.

  What's more, she didn't even have lunch and came here on an empty stomach, but when she arrived, no one entertained her for a meal.

  It's strange if I feel comfortable in this situation!

  It was not easy to finally wait for someone to appear, and Old Lady Ji hurriedly went forward to greet him. She first paid her respects, then immediately asked: "Your Highness, is something the matter? The princess still hasn't arrived at our house, we're worried to death! I'm really not at ease, so I specially came over to take a look. I've disturbed Your Highness, please don't blame me, it's just that this old woman is anxious for her beloved grandson."

  "Grandmother, no need for excessive courtesy." With a slight wave of her hand, Mo Yu walked over to the main seat and sat down. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said in a deep voice, "To be honest, something unexpected did indeed happen this morning."

  The old lady hastily asked: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

  "Yan'er was accompanied by her maid on her way to the Ji's house this morning when they encountered some scoundrels who intended to do her harm."

  At these words, Old Lady Ji furrowed her brow: "And what about Dye? Is she safe and sound?"

  "Grandmother, please rest assured, fortunately I had arranged for people to guard around her, so she was safe. However, due to excessive fright, she is currently resting in the house and couldn't arrive at the Season's residence on time." As for why Bai Xincheng was sleeping in bed, Yan Moyu said it with a straight face, without batting an eyelid.

  The old lady pursed her lips, a hint of emotion flashing in the bottom of her eyes, and then raised her head, saying with some relief: "No news is good news. No news is good news. Since that's the case, I can rest assured. Seeing that Dye hasn't appeared for a long time, my heart has been unsettled. But now I'm worried."

  "The one who made the queen dowager so worried, I, Wang Di, thank you, Queen Dowager." No one saw the man's mouth corners subtly curving up with sarcasm.

  The old lady hastily waved her hand: "How dare I, how dare I, Your Majesty. You must not wrong me. Yan'er is my granddaughter, and worrying about her is what I should do."

  ……

  The old lady left in disappointment, after all, she had arranged everything well, but ended up with nothing.

  But today, going to Cheng Wang Fu, still let her see a glimmer of hope.

  After all, she had been gentle and courteous to the king... She thought that as long as she continued to get close to that abandoned girl, saving her own grandson from prison shouldn't be a problem!

  ……。

  The news of Old Lady Ji frequently visiting the Cheng Wang Fu over the past three days had spread to the Bai Fu. When He Lan heard about it, she was almost scolding and mocking.

  "That hypocritical woman, a leopard can't change its spots. She thinks that by flattering that beast, she can gain the favor of the Crown Prince? How ridiculous! Doesn't she realize that even that beast's ears are useless? Isn't she just asking to get her face slapped?"

  The personal maid beside her couldn't help but chime in: "Madam, isn't that right? That Lady Qi must have been driven to desperation by the capture of her grandson and had no other choice but to jump into the fire."

  The news of Ji's eldest grandson being arrested for murder had already spread throughout the Bai Manor.

  He Lan's face was full of schadenfreude: "Serves them right! When my grandson passed away, she ridiculed and scolded us, saying that the Bai family would be childless. Now look, it's the Ji family who will be childless!"

  The maid nodded in agreement. "Madam, do you think we should tell the master about this and let him handle it? We mustn't let that Season family take advantage of us and rescue the person."

  He Lan nodded in agreement, saying: "This matter really needs to be discussed with my son. Since the Shangshu Fu is now a relative of ours, I'm sure that if my son goes to persuade them, they will definitely give us face. Hmph! I'd like to see how the Ji family can rescue their people!"

  As she sipped the fragrant tea brewed by her maid, a hint of complacency flashed across He Lan's eyes. However, just a moment later, she suddenly furrowed her brow and stood up.

  That old woman is now trying every means to get close to that beast, this won't do! What if the Crown Prince takes pity on her as the grandmother of that beast and lends a hand, wouldn't that be too good for the Ji family?

  Although that good-for-nothing is a waste, he still has the surname Bai and counts as one of the White family's people. What right do the Ji family have to bask in his glory?

  Want to bask in their glory? The Bai and Ji families are nothing!

  No, no, she must think of a way, never let that old hag get close to that monster, lest the Crown Prince be deceived by that old hag and help them out of sympathy, that would be too easy for them!

  ……

  Bai Xin has been staying in the backyard of the mansion since he was brought back from Cao Shan Village by Mo Yu.

  That morning, she and Blood Shadow were busy in the field when they suddenly saw Yin Du appear.

  White-faced and expressionless, she crouched down without paying any attention.

  Yin Du walked straight to Xue Ying and said, "The old lady of the Grand Scholar's mansion is outside the gate, saying she wants to see the princess. What do you think? Should we take the princess to meet her?"

  The blood shadow's expressionless face asked a sentence: "Did she say what she came for?"

  Yin Du shook his head: "She only said that she hadn't seen the princess for a long time and missed her very much, so she came to Cheng Wang Fu on purpose."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng, who was squatting on the ground, fiercely sucked his lips.

  Damn it, today the sun rises from the west!

  That old woman would peel her own skin if she could, and now she's saying she misses me?

  Does she want to die?

  Xue Ying An glanced at Bai Xin Ran, then turned to Yin Du and said: "Take her to the flower hall to wait for now. Tell her that the princess is busy at the moment and will see her when she's free. If she can't wait, let her leave."

  Upon hearing Blood Shadow's words, Bai Xiner, who had been hanging her head in shame, once again gave a mental thumbs up to Blood Shadow - this little scoundrel was indeed a worm in his own belly!

  The words of Xue Ying were undoubtedly very much to her liking.

  It was the old lady who came on her own initiative and did not represent the other party. She had to go see her anyway.

  This is the Prince's Mansion, even if that old woman had a bigger temper, she wouldn't dare be presumptuous here.

  Anyway, she's in a bad mood now and doesn't want to see anyone, so just let her be for the time being. Wait until she's in a better mood before talking to her again.

  If you can't wait, then just get out! She won't have to look at these annoying people anymore.

  After listening to Xue Ying's words, Yin Du looked at the woman who was squatting on the ground and digging soil again, touched her nose, and left. Everyone knew that now in the entire Cheng Wang Fu, only the queen was the most powerful. Even the old lady was gentle and courteous when facing the queen, let alone others who didn't dare to be presumptuous with the queen.

  Not to mention that Wang Ye treats her like a treasure, even the one called Xue Ying by her side is an intimidating figure.

  Just an old lady from a noble family, what's the big deal about being cool again?

  What's more, she came to them herself and no one asked her to come. She didn't think that the queen would not listen even if she heard her, or speak even if she spoke. What business did this old lady have with the queen anyway?

  ……

  The hall

  He Lan had drunk two cups of fragrant tea, but still hadn't seen the person she wanted to find appear, and gradually her face turned cold.

  You can look around and see a group of male servants, but there isn't even a single rough-handed maid.

  Looking at the tall and majestic male servants, she felt annoyed and couldn't help but be in a bad mood.

  After drinking three cups of tea, she finally couldn't help but ask a male servant: "May I ask when the princess will come out?"

  The male servant shook his head expressionlessly: "We don't know. The prince has ordered that no one can ask about the princess's affairs, and even more so, no one is allowed to disturb the princess's peace."

  Upon hearing this, He Lan's old face turned dark.

  This wretched creature is really putting on airs! She's only just married and already dares to put on a show with her?!

  She was made to wait for a long time by her junior, and he didn't even bother to ask about her, it's really hateful and infuriating!

  At first, I should have been ruthless and gotten rid of this beast directly, so as to avoid getting annoyed and frustrated!

  Just as He Lan was grinding his teeth in anger, the real master finally appeared.

  Xue Ying supported Bai Xintong as they walked into the hall, looking at He Lan who was sitting in a high position. Xue Ying's face immediately turned cold: "Madam, why aren't you kneeling to see our princess?"

  Upon hearing this, He Lan's old face suddenly turned green. She had only come to the Wang Fu, but had forgotten that this wretched creature had transformed from a sparrow into a phoenix and become the high-and-mighty Crown Princess.

  Although she is the elder of this beast, in terms of status and hierarchy, she should also pay homage to this beast.

  Under the cold gaze of Xue Ying, He Lan bit his back teeth and stood up from a high position, making a courtesy to Bai Xin with one knee bent.

  "This old body pays respects to Your Highness, the Princess."

  "Get up." Blood Shadow spoke on her behalf. Immediately, she supported Bai Xincheng's expressionless face and walked towards the high position, letting Bai Xincheng sit down. She took out a wooden carving from her bosom and handed it to Bai Xincheng along with her own sharp small knife, while she stood neatly and coldly by Bai Xincheng's side.

  She stared intently at the wood, her eyes not straying, one hand holding a half-carved wooden object, the other grasping a small knife, completely absorbed in her own little world, as if the people and things around her were of no concern to her.

  Looking at the silly woman made He Lan's head smoke with rage, and she even regretted coming on this trip.

  This is simply slapping one's own hot face against someone else's cold buttocks!

  "Madam arrived at Cheng Wang Fu today, I don't know what it's about." Xue Ying's face was cold and hard as he asked.

  He Lan secretly pinched her own palm, only then did she manage to suppress her anger, and suddenly piled on a few points of affectionate smile, saying to Blood Shadow: "You two have been away from the White House for some time now, and I really miss you. Taking advantage of today's leisure, I came over to see you, Wang Fei. Look, I even brought some delicious pastries for you. These pastries were made by the head chef in the mansion under my special orders."

  Bai Xin sneered coldly in her heart. Look at this so-called grandmother, she's really good!

  But can what she sent be eaten?

  I'm afraid once you eat it, your life will be gone in the next moment.

  What's more, would the chef in the Wang Mansion be worse than the one in the Duke's Mansion? What can't she eat that this old lady must think of herself as doing charity to show off her noble status?

  Xue Ying did not refuse, and took the food box handed over by He Lan's maid. Then, he asked again with an expressionless face: "Now that the madam has arrived, what is it that you want?"

  Towards Xue Ying, He Lan was so angry that her teeth itched, but she knew that the cold-faced woman in front of her wasn't easy to mess with, especially since this wasn't even her own territory.

  Concealing the resentment in her old eyes, she spoke kindly to Xue Ying: "Xue Ying, it's like this. I didn't come for anything else, just to take a look at you, Wang Fei. In the past, I, this old woman, wasn't good enough and neglected you. Now that I think about it, I regret it. At my age, with one foot already in the coffin, if I don't treat my own granddaughter better, when I die, what face will I have to see her mother in the underworld?"

  Those words made Bai Xin's skin crawl as she listened from the side.

  I've seen shameless people before, but never as shameless as this!

  Who shouted "Bastard" on the left and "Bastard" on the right?

  Now it's time to show some care, but where has he gone?

  Xue Ying didn't respond, like a wooden stake, let alone talk to He Lan, he didn't even blink his eyes.

  Seeing this, He Lan suddenly felt embarrassed and almost couldn't hold her face. After a pause, she suddenly smiled and asked Xue Ying: "Miss Xue Ying, I heard that the old lady of the Ji family often comes to the Cheng Wang Fu to find your princess?"

  The topic changed too quickly, and Blood Shadow's eyelashes twitched as he coldly stared at her: "Yes."

  Upon hearing this, He Lan's brow suddenly furrowed, and her warm, smiling tone suddenly turned to anger: "That old hag is really too much! She actually has the nerve to come looking for someone from our White family!"

  Bai Xin's mouth twitched slightly. A member of the Bai family? Did she also count as a member of the Bai family?

  But she was curious, why this old woman was dissatisfied with her so-called great-grandmother?

  Xue Ying still didn't say a word.

  He Lan suddenly walked up to Xue Ying's side, her old face tense with a few points of anxiety, looking like she was about to say something very important.

  "Blood Shadow Girl, I have something to say to you. Don't think I'm talking too much, it's all for the good of your princess. You don't know that old lady from the Ji family, she's a venomous person. On the surface, she seems nice to everyone, but behind their backs, she does all sorts of wicked things. Now that she's frequently approaching your princess, she must have ill intentions. You should tell Prince Cheng about it and make sure he doesn't let old lady Ji get close to your princess again, or who knows what harm she might bring to her."

  The words fell into Bai Xin's ears, sending shivers down her spine.

  Why talk about others' shortcomings without first examining your own moral character?

  This was indeed the most ridiculous joke she had ever heard!

  Never mind what was on the so-called grandmother's mind, she just knew that this old woman in front of her didn't have a good heart.

  Is this old lady's heart more venomous than a snake or scorpion?

  The blood-stained face listened expressionlessly, and after listening, he simply replied indifferently: "Madam, you'd better go tell the prince yourself, I'm only responsible for the princess's safety, I have no right to interfere with other matters."

  Helen's brow furrowed instantly. Had she said all that for nothing?

  She glanced at Bai Xiner, who had been carving wood all along. A flash of disgust quickly passed through her eyes, and then she spoke seriously to Xueying: "I'm doing this for the good of your king and queen, I'm afraid they'll be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives. It's not that I don't dare to go and tell your king directly, but our White family has long since cut ties with the Ji family. If I were to go to your king and say this, he would definitely not believe me. You should go and tell him, perhaps he will listen more easily. Xueying, I'm coming here with good intentions, you can't doubt my sincerity! Your queen is from our White Manor after all, I won't let the Ji family bully her no matter what."

  Bai Xin couldn't listen anymore.

  She got up and put down the wooden carving and small knife in her hand, then went to pour tea.

  Xue Ying saw the situation and quickly put down He Lan's gift to help her pour water.

  Just as Xue Ying blocked He Lan's line of sight, Bai Xinduan secretly gave her a signal with his eyes. Then he picked up the teacup and started drinking.

  After drinking, he walked out of the hall door.

  "Madam, I've taken note of this matter. If there's nothing else, you may take your leave. Our princess is probably in need of rest."

  After finishing speaking, he ordered a male servant beside him to send Hulan away, and Xueying chased after her.

  He Lan's eyebrows remained tightly furrowed until she left Cheng Wang Fu. She had specially run all the way to come and teach, but hadn't expected to be ignored so thoroughly!

  She's so fed up!
