Ninety-five discovered end of Nian + out Gong still have to choose a place
In the face of Bai Xinzhu's sudden request, Liu Xuelan and Xueying were stunned to varying degrees. Xueying reacted slightly less, almost without any expression, only a slight twitch at the corner of her cold mouth. On the other hand, Liu Xuelan was extremely opposed.
"Are you here on official business, or can you even afford to indulge in these beauties?" The beautiful Zhuang was not her first time coming, and every time she came, it would cause a stir. The reason was simply to block that man from coming here to flirt with the flowers. So she didn't have a good impression of the beauties here, thinking they were just fox spirits who specialized in seducing people.
When she suddenly spoke, the mother-in-law shifted her gaze over, and a hint of surprise flashed quickly in her beautiful and charming eyes. This woman has come to Meiren Manor again? It's really strange, why didn't this woman go 'catching adultery' today?
It wasn't that she didn't want others to come to Meiren Zhuang looking for trouble, but rather the target had changed to this woman and Feng De Wang. She was actually very happy for them to cause trouble for Meiren Zhuang. And so, Feng De Wang spent lavishly, and Meiren Zhuang was destroyed once and renovated again, each time more luxurious than before, without spending a single penny of their own. This kind of cost-free business she was naturally willing to do, as long as they were given enough silver compensation, Meiren Zhuang wasn't afraid of this woman causing trouble either...
Moreover, the man is a noble prince, and if this news gets out, it will only bring more customers to the Beautiful Lady's Villa...
But I didn't expect that this woman would actually come with their young master's wife today, and still be so calm and collected. Doesn't she know about next door...
As soon as they started talking about serious matters, Bai Xinzhu also quickly put away his playful heart.
"Let's find a quiet place to talk, I have some things I want to ask you."
Wu Niang quickly composed herself and wiped the smile off her face, saying with a hint of respect: "Whatever you need, Master and Mistress, just instruct me and I'll take care of it. No need to be so polite. This place is indeed not suitable for conversation, let me bring you to the pavilion upstairs."
After finishing speaking, she lifted her foot and turned around to walk out of Ya Fang's door.
Bai Xin beckoned to Liu Xue Lan and Xue Ying, and the three of them followed.
Just around the corner, a man's laughter suddenly came from one of the rooms.
In this kind of place, laughter can be heard everywhere, which is not unusual. But the sudden appearance of the three characters 'Feng De Wang' in that flattering laughter makes it hard for people to be uncurious.
Bai Xin's face changed color in shock, and Liu Xue Lan, who was standing behind her, trembled and suddenly stiffened all over.
The two women were both dressed as men, and Bai Xinzhuang didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary, so they calmly lifted the curtain and walked in.
"I really didn't expect that Wang Fengde still had such a hobby." With a playful smile, Bai Xinzhen looked at the dignified man in front of him, but his smiling eyes were tinged with a hint of disdain. I thought he would be depressed at home because of Xue Lian, but unexpectedly he still has the mood to come to Meiren Village to have fun.
What kind of man is Snow Lotus? If she doesn't care about him, who will she care about?!
Her sudden intrusion made everyone inside turn their eyes to look over. Especially Xia Lixun, whose cold and proud eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. However, when he saw Bai Xinduan dressed in men's clothing, looking like a white-faced young boy, the corner of his mouth suddenly rose, and he sneered:
"It's really fate to meet Brother Bai here! I didn't expect Brother Bai to like this kind of place too."
Bai Xin didn't pay attention to him, because her line of sight was drawn to another figure. If she wasn't mistaken, the middle-aged man who was with Feng De Wang was the envoy from Xi Yun country whom she had met at the banquet.
She felt a little surprised, hadn't the Western Cloud Kingdom's envoy returned home long ago?
Why is he still appearing in Shu Xia Guo? And together with Feng De Wang?
What are these two people doing in this place?
She came today just for the people of Xiyun Country, but unexpectedly, before she could even ask Wú Niáng to investigate, she encountered him herself.
The envoy from the Western Cloud Country looked to be in his forties, with a slightly cold demeanor. Perhaps it was because she had suddenly burst in and disrupted his leisurely pursuits, but the gaze he directed at Bai Xincheng was somewhat unfriendly.
Noticing the chill emanating from the other party, Bai Xincheng hastily imitated the man's gesture of cupping his hands and bowed in their direction with a innocent smile: "Since you have something to discuss, I won't disturb you. Hope you have fun. Prince Feng De, our fates are not shallow, let's catch up another day."
After finishing speaking, she turned around neatly and hurriedly walked out of the room.
She didn't know if the other person would recognize her, so it was better to slip away quickly.
After she left, the man from Xiyun Kingdom suddenly opened his mouth with a curious expression: "Feng De Wang, I don't know which family that little brother belongs to?"
Xia Li Xun's gaze was fixed tightly on the door, his eyes flashing with complex and slightly excited light, just now he seemed to have seen a familiar figure...
"Feng De Wang?" The Western Cloud Kingdom's envoy called out softly again, his gaze following along with his.
Xia Lixun suddenly came back to his senses, hooked his lips and smiled slightly: "Sheng Da Ren, he is the son of the White family in the Imperial Academy, Bai Yuhao, and has some 'dealings' with this king."
……
Followed by Wu Niang to the top attic, let Xue Lian and Xue Ying rest in one room first. Wu Niang took Bai Xintie to another room, where two women were guarding outside the door.
When there was no one else around, Bai Xinzhi directly asked: "Wu Niang, do you know who is with the King of Feng De?"
The beautiful woman's eyes rolled around, and she didn't mince words: "Madam, this man is also here at our Mei Ren Zhuang for the first time today. We haven't had a chance to investigate his background yet. I don't know what you mean by asking like that?"
Bai Xin looked at her for a moment before saying, "This person had previously attended the emperor's birthday as an envoy of Xiyun Country, but I don't know why he stayed in Xiyun Country. This time I came to Meiren Manor, it was also entrusted by Wang Ye to come and ask about some things, which are also related to people from Xiyun Country."
Meiren Zhuang, although not too familiar to her, had once saved her, which she remembered deeply. At the same time, she also believed that Meiren Zhuang was a trustworthy place.
The nameless serious one lowered his head: "Madam, whatever you want to know, just ask."
Bai Xin nodded: "I believe you should know that we are looking for someone, a person named Sheng Ziyang. He was originally a descendant of the Western Cloud Kingdom's nobility."
Wú Míng Yīng Dào: "Yes, Yin Hu Wei has told us some things. And our girl is also secretly searching for Sheng Zi Yang's whereabouts."
Bai Xin walked over to the table and sat down on a stool, then beckoned to Wu Niang to sit down together.
Wu Nang first was stunned for a moment, seemingly somewhat unaccustomed, with a hint of awkwardness on his face.
But seeing Bai Xin's sincere intention to let her sit down and talk, she also didn't insist on it anymore and sat down across from her.
"Without warning, Shengzi Yang suddenly disappeared. This is related to the death of Palace Concubine Xian who hanged herself after a miscarriage. This person poses a threat to us, so we must find him no matter what."
She paused, slightly furrowing her eyebrows. "I didn't expect the envoy from Xiyun Country to be in the capital, and even more so, accompanying Prince Gongde. I've always felt that this envoy's stay in the capital is somewhat unusual. While you're searching for Sheng Ziyang's whereabouts, have someone keep an eye on this envoy as well. Both he and Sheng Ziyang are from Xiyun Country; I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but his clandestine meetings with Prince Gongde are clearly suspicious. This Prince Gongde is someone I've had dealings with before - he dares to do anything. If you find anything off about these two, send someone to inform your young master immediately, understood?"
She spoke with extra caution and seriousness, and Madame sternly nodded: "Don't worry, madam, I will definitely do a good job of these things."
They were doing intelligence work. Bai Xinzhu knew they had their own methods and abilities, so she didn't mention any requirements. She just needed to give orders and it would be done.
After finishing the proper business, she suddenly raised an eyebrow: "Nu Niang, has Prince Feng De been coming to Mei Ren Zhuang frequently lately?"
"No, the King of Fongde rarely comes to Meiren Village recently. Just today, he came over for an appointment, and it was that envoy you mentioned who booked a room in our Meiren Village first. I'm also puzzled, as the King of Fongde used to come to Meiren Village frequently, but these past few months, something's been going on, and he hasn't been coming much."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xin let out a surprised "oh". She hadn't expected that guy to have turned over a new leaf?
Is it because of Xue Leng?
It shouldn't be, right?
If he really cared about Xue Lian so much, how could he bear to hurt her like that?
The two of them chatted idly in the room for a while, and then Bai Xinzhu was about to leave. As she was leaving, Wu Niang suddenly asked from behind her: "Madam, don't you... despise us?"
Bai Xin's eyes widened in surprise, then she suddenly smiled: "If I were to despise you, I wouldn't have come here. Nu Niang, are you thinking too much? In this world, it's not easy for women to live with a true heart, I admire that you all can't even take care of yourselves, where does the disdain come from?"
She knew the meaning of being a courtesan, and as someone in that profession, compared to ordinary women, they still had some feelings of inferiority. But just as she said, it's really not easy for anyone to survive in this world.
Their fate is still in their own hands, they can arrange for themselves. Unlike those who sell themselves, they don't even have human rights. Life or death depends on the owner's single word.
In this world, there are warm things, but they are too few.
At least in her case, the chilling people and things she has seen are too numerous to mention. If it weren't for the man behind her protecting her, how could she live so easily and comfortably?
Watching her leave, Nü Wa couldn't take her eyes off the receding figure for a long time. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be swirling with something, accompanied by the phrase "True heart is hard to find" which suddenly brought a warmth to her chest.
The young master really has a good eye for people, choosing such a woman as his wife.
Bai Xin was just about to go and call Xue Ying and Liu Xue Lan to leave, when he had just arrived at the door of their room, he suddenly heard a man's voice full of anger coming from inside.
She furrowed her brow and hastily ran over to push open the door.
All she saw was a figure sitting cross-legged on the embroidered cushion, like a stone pillar in the room. And standing in front of her was a tall man, just looking at that radiant back, she knew who it was, let alone that master-like tone of speech.
"The king asks you, what about the other person who was with you? Where did she go?"
No matter how angry, anxious or overbearing the voice was, Xue Ying remained as if he hadn't heard it at all, sitting steadily without even batting an eyelid.
"I'm asking you, Prince Feng De, what are you trying to do? People say that when beating a dog, one must consider its master, let alone someone from our own royal family. Shouldn't you have spoken with me before acting against someone in our own household?"
When he heard her voice, Xia Lixun suddenly turned around, his cold and proud face was iron-blue, it's unknown whether it was because of the blood shadow that made him feel very uncomfortable, anyway, the momentum looked unfriendly.
"What about Liu Xuelan? Where is she?" Xia Lixun asked with a gritted tone, looking into Bai Xindye's eyes.
He has been searching everywhere for that woman, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't find any trace of her. His men have been keeping a close eye on the Liu residence day and night, but they still can't find any clues about the woman's whereabouts. It seems that Liu Boyu is also secretly sending people to search for her, but it doesn't seem like he knows where she is either.
This is indeed strange, isn't it that in the capital city, finding a woman with no status or wealth is so difficult?
He also suspected that she had left Beijing, but if she had left Beijing, where could she go?
She has been growing up in the capital since she was a child and has never left. How would she live if she went somewhere else?
Every time he thinks of these things, his heart is both resentful and angry.
What's wrong with talking to him properly? Why must you hide from him like this?!
He admitted that he was a bit excessive, but on that day, he also felt that she still had him in her heart. Since she has him in her heart, why did she want to leave?
Looking at his flustered appearance as soon as he appeared, Bai Xinzhi couldn't help but laugh in her heart. If you have such deep feelings, why don't you want to wholeheartedly accept Xue Lian? You didn't show up until everyone was gone, where did you go earlier?
She blinked twice, her face puzzled as she met the man's piercing gaze, and laughed lightly: "I say, what's wrong with you? Snow Lin has been missing since our wedding day, we've also been secretly helping to find him. Even if you want to ask questions, you should go ask our king, why are you asking me? I just want to know where Snow Lin is, I'm worried to death!"
"You're lying!" Suddenly, Xia Lixun gritted his teeth and spat out three words. Then he stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of Blood Shadow, "Don't think that I didn't see anything just now. When you walked past my room door, there were clearly three people, where did the other one go?"
Bai Xin's face turned pale and her lips twitched. "......?!!"
Damn, can you use your eyes so well?
She stretched her neck and suddenly looked at Blood Shadow, asking: "Blood Shadow, where did that book boy of mine go?"
Xue Ying stood up and replied expressionlessly: "Tell the princess, he's gone to the toilet."
Pfft! Bai Xin almost sprayed laughter. Are they in cahoots?!
"Study boy?" Xia Lixuan narrowed his eyes, hands behind his back, coldly and proudly sizing up the woman in front of him. A hint of mocking sarcasm rose at the corner of his mouth: "How did I not know that the Crown Prince's consort actually has a study boy?"
At these words, Bai Xin glared at him and said with a straight face: "How come only you rich young masters can have a book boy, but I'm not allowed to? I've never read books since I was a child, I don't even recognize a single character. Our king bought me a little book boy so that I could learn to read and write, what's wrong with that? Are you implying that it's an eyesore to others? You'd better watch your words, if you say something like this again, I'll think you're discriminating against me!"
Xia Lixun's face turned dark. He almost forgot that this woman had a poisonous mouth. The other woman solved problems with her fists, but this one could make people spit blood with just one sentence.
I really don't know what King Cheng saw in this woman?
These two women seemed to have nothing in common, but there was one thing that they shared - they were both the kind of people who could easily infuriate men!
He would rather die than believe those two women were not together!
Does she need a book boy? With these hands that can only draw turtles, does she still need to invite a book boy?
"Let the Crown Prince's concubine bring out her book boy, I'd like to take a look. I'm curious what kind of book boy would make the Crown Prince's concubine willing to bring him to the brothel." He suddenly slowed down his tone, saying with a hint of teasing, playful and disbelieving tone.
“……?!” Bai Xin's mouth twitched. To avoid revealing anything to the other party, she simply walked around Xia Lihuan and approached Xue Ying, asking in a pretended displeased tone, "Xue Ying, how long has Xiaozi been gone? Why hasn't he come back yet?”
"Your Highness, he just left a little while ago. He said the toilet at Meiren Villa was not to his liking, so he returned to the mansion first."
Pfft!
When she heard this, Bai Xin almost choked with laughter. If there weren't outsiders present, she would have crouched down to see the look on her face when saying these words. These words were naturally not something she could come up with herself; Snow Shan must have discovered something was off beforehand and taught her what to say in advance.
Damn, it's too ridiculous. This is what they call "the water from a distant mountain can't be used to irrigate one's own fields", we have to make our own way even if we want to show respect.
Xia Lixun's temples throbbed, his hands clenched tightly behind his back, it was clear that he had used great force to restrain himself from yelling at the two women.
He had never heard of anyone having to choose a place to give birth before!
Pen!
Work hard!
He'd like to see what other tricks this master and servant pair have up their sleeves!
This place can't stay for long, Bai Xin pulled Blood Shadow's hand and prepared to return to Cheng Wang Fu.
As she passed by Wu Niang's side, she shook her head slightly with a faint smile, indicating that there was no need to pay attention to them. Wu Niang understood and quietly walked away.
On the horse-drawn carriage back to Wang Fu's mansion
Looking at the man who came in uninvited, Bai Xiner almost had Blood Shadow throw him out.
"What are you following me for? I'm warning you, if you dare to hit on me like that again, this time I won't forgive you so easily!" Bai Xinting warned with a fierce glare at the face she couldn't stand.
Of course, this was just her warning. Last time, he used despicable means to abduct himself, and this time, he appeared in person. Moreover, she had not only Blood Shadow by her side, and she did not believe that he would be so bold as to confront the Cheng Wang Fu head-on, which was not his style for a proud man like him.
Ignoring her warning, Xia Lixuan elegantly sat down on the couch opposite hers, his long eyebrows slanting upwards, his cold eyes glancing at her: "This king happens to be going to Cheng Wangfu, since Cheng Wangfei wants to go home, it's just right to bring this king along."
“……” Bai Xin dyed a black line on her forehead. She was sure that this person must have suspected something, so she thought of following her to investigate. "Feng De Wang, don't forget that I am a woman, your behavior seems somewhat inappropriate."
Upon hearing this, Xia Lixuan raised an eyebrow and scanned her masculine attire from head to toe, a mocking smile suddenly curving the corners of her lips. "I don't see anything about you that resembles a woman's body."
"......?!" Bai Xincheng gritted his teeth and glared at him fiercely. He then pulled a long face and shouted to Xuexing, "Xuexing, return to the Cheng Wang Fu."
The Blood Shadow driving the horse carriage outside responded with a single word and immediately raised his whip.
On the carriage, looking at that elegant and calm yet coldly proud man, Bai Xin's heart was not very calm.
They say that one lie requires countless lies to cover it up, and at this moment she was trying her best to think of what those "countless lies" should be.
Xue Lian made it clear that she didn't want to see him, so she slipped away quietly. To be on the safe side, she definitely wouldn't be foolish enough to actually leave Meiren Manor and run back to Cheng Wangfu. It's very likely that she's still inside Meiren Manor right now. If that's really the case, then there's no need to worry about her. After all, she was with Xue Lian when they went to Meiren Manor together, and that maid should have also heard their conversation and understood that Xue Lian was hiding something. That maid wouldn't make things difficult for Xue Lian if she found out.
Xue Lian's side has relaxed a bit, but how should we resolve the situation with Cheng Wang Fu?
Where did she get a book boy from?
What's most important is what kind of purpose this man has in mind to go with her? Is it that he discovered Xue Lian's trail or does he have some other purpose?
As she thought of something, she suddenly became serious and looked at the man who was closing his eyes to meditate across from her. "Is Wang Gong recently making another big deal with someone?" She knew he would definitely be able to hear her words.
Upon hearing her inquiring voice, Xia Lixuan slowly raised an eyebrow and instead of answering, asked: "Is it that the Crown Princess still has interest in doing business?"
"It's not that I'm interested, but if Wang Pu has a good deal, why not find another partner? Maybe the business can be expanded and more silver can be earned."
Xia Lixuan closed his eyes: "No need, this king has always liked eating alone, and never considered doing things with others."
Bai Xin's eyes narrowed, looking at him with a complex expression. The people from Xi Yun country had found him, it definitely wouldn't be a small matter. This peacock was most fond of stirring up big trouble behind the scenes, last time it was smuggling arms, who knows what he would do this time.
She now most wants to know whether the envoy of Xiyun Country and Sheng Ziyang have any relationship.
If there is a relationship between them, then there are too many problems hidden in this.
Absolutely cannot be underestimated!
Moreover, this man has always had some kind of hostility towards her family's Mo Yu, and it is not certain that he will join forces with others to deal with her family's Mo Yu.
This is also possible and can't be taken lightly.
The princess said she would send an envoy to Xi Yun country and believed that there should be an answer soon.
She now only hopes that the man in front of her doesn't have any vicious intentions, otherwise, regardless of whether he is the person Snow likes or not, she will not let him off. After all, her family's Mo Yu has tolerated him for a long time, and even the best endurance can be worn out.
He didn't want to say anything to himself, and Bai Xinzhen also stopped talking. The horse-drawn carriage drove all the way to Cheng Wangfu.
I thought the three women would have a longer outing, but they returned in less than an hour, and with a man. Whether it was intentional or someone tagging along shamelessly, when he saw them return together, his face turned pitch black.
At his vinegar-eating appearance, Bai Xintong couldn't help but shake her head and laugh. This man, with all the rotten peach blossoms he had, she hadn't given him such a look. Yet she just happened to bring a man back with her, and he gave her 'color' to see.
Can this face get any darker?
In the study, Yin Du presented tea and then retreated on his own initiative.
Bai Xindye sat beside Mo Yu, her slender waist tightly wrapped in his arm, as if she would run away at any moment. In response, Bai Xindye could only secretly roll her eyes at him fiercely.
"Moyu, Gong De Wang told me he has something to discuss with you. Since it's a matter between men, I'll just step aside for now."
I saw there were outsiders present, so naturally some things couldn't be said at this time, and thus nodded in agreement.
"Is Princess Cheng sending someone to find you, that book boy who went back to the manor to pay his respects?" Xia Lixun suddenly asked.
"......?!" Bai Xin's heart darkened as she gritted her teeth. This guy had indeed become suspicious, coming for her 'book boy'.
"......?!" Yan Mo Yu looked at his own woman with a very puzzled expression, as if asking her to explain the meaning behind the other person's words.
Just as the couple exchanged a look, Xia Lixun suddenly curled up his lips and said with a hint of shame:
"I've heard that everyone in the Duke of Cheng's household is extremely loyal. Today, I see that it's indeed true. Unexpectedly, even a young servant like you has to choose a suitable place to relieve himself, and yet he looks down on a beautiful place like Meiren Village, instead insisting on returning to the Duke of Cheng's residence to use the toilet. This move has left me, the king, both curious and moved. That there exists such a loyal person in this world, if I were unable to meet him, it would be a regret for this lifetime."
"......?!" Bai Xinzhi was left with only a hand on his forehead. The two words "out of respect" seemed to have become elegant when spoken from this man's mouth.
“……?!” The corner of his mouth twitched violently. But being as clever as he was, he quickly understood a bit. That the King of Feng De would personally come out to find someone, it must be that Miss Liu had already revealed her flaws and made this guy suspicious.
It's just this... who came up with it?!
Moreover, this guy seems to have no shame at all. He's just a book boy, yet he dares to chase him into his own mansion and still speaks with righteous words. Doesn't he feel disgusted with himself?
She turned her face sideways and blinked one eye at me with a pleading expression, as if seeking help.
“Cough, cough, cough...” Yan Mo covered her mouth with her fist and let out a delicate cough. She raised her eyes and looked at the person opposite her with a mocking gaze: “Prince Feng De, no matter what, we are all refined people. It's better not to say such unrefined words, lest you lose your dignity. Moreover, a small book boy is not worth mentioning, Prince Feng De doesn't need to take it to heart. Those who can follow me are naturally loyal and trustworthy people. If not, what's the point of coming? Is it not the same for the people in Prince Feng De's household? Prince Feng De praises the people in my palace so much, I thank them on their behalf. However, they have a low social status and it's really difficult for them to enter the grand hall, it's not convenient for them to appear in front of Prince Feng De.”
Her white apron was stained with ink, and her eyebrows were slightly curved. Still, her own husband was clever and could withstand him. This dead peacock was really annoying and hateful.
Upon hearing this, Xia Lixuan's face turned somewhat cold. "Is King Cheng really so petty that he won't even give me this bit of face?"
Yan Mo met his displeased gaze with a calm and collected demeanor, her deep eyes not showing any intention of evading him. She replied in a soft voice, "King Feng De is being too forceful, which is really unbecoming of someone of your stature. I'm not unwilling to let people come out and meet you, but I fear that with King Feng De's overbearing attitude, even if they do meet, the other party will likely be intimidated and frightened. With King Feng De's insight, such common people shouldn't be taken seriously, should they?"
These words are obviously somewhat profound. At least after Xia Lixuan heard them, his face was very unsightly. The hand placed on the tea table clenched involuntarily, and in the end, he didn't know what he was thinking, suddenly asking in a low voice: "What if this king insists on seeing this person?"
"Anyone in this palace, their life and death are my responsibility. If the Duke of Feng comes to cause trouble, I can accompany him to the end."
Two cold currents in the air mysteriously collided, and Bai Xin savored the conversation between the two, also realizing that her own man was already considered to have made a move.
But also as he said, Xue Lian was in her own mansion and had a request for her. If she casually pulled someone out, that would be unkind to others.
At this moment, she is not convenient to speak, and she doesn't know what to say either. The two men obviously started fighting. The sparks in each other's eyes made it even harder for her to intervene.
The atmosphere in the study suddenly fell into a stalemate, no one spoke again, but the gunpowder smell lingering in the air was particularly pungent.
After a long time, the man in front of the desk opposite him clenched his fist and stood up straight.
"Since you insist on protecting him, I'll let it go. Farewell!"
After finishing speaking, he swung his sleeves and strode away.
It wasn't until the study door was closed from the outside by Yin Du that Bai Xindye finally let out a breath.
Yan Mo pulled her onto his lap and asked in a low voice, "How did you let that guy find out?"
Bai Xin said with a sullen face: "I don't know either, he said he saw that we were three people and insisted on forcing us to hand over the other person. You also know that this guy is very annoying and difficult to deal with. Moreover, it was his own idea to follow me back to the mansion, not because I invited him."
Explained what happened and also clarified someone's misunderstanding, so that a certain vinegar jar can open her heart and not suffer because of it.
She pressed her lips together and didn't say anything more. The two of them had known each other for seven years, and the degree to which they were familiar with each other was not something that ordinary people could understand. Perhaps just a glance, and in their hearts they would be certain. If it were him, even if it were just her faintest silhouette, he would still be certain it was her.
But he has always been narrow-minded, and he will surely come again...
"Oh, right, there's something else I have to tell you." Bai Xinzhi suddenly sat up straight on his leg, with a serious face, "Guess who I met today?"
She raised an eyebrow and asked if she still had old friends here?
"I actually saw the envoy of Xiyun Country. It was the man with the eight-character beard you pointed out to me at the palace banquet. He didn't leave Shuxia Country, not only did he not leave, but also invited King Fengde to Meiren Zhuang."
"Really?" Yan Mo's eyes slightly sank, but his expression seemed unsurprised.
"What's going on? Did you already know?" Bai Xintong looked at him in confusion.
"After the Emperor's birthday celebration, I arranged for the foreign envoys to return to their respective countries. There is news that the envoy from Western Cloud Country went missing halfway and his whereabouts are unknown."
Bai Xin frowned: "What does it mean that he secretly returned? And this Feng De Wang has a previous conviction, isn't it that they are colluding with each other and harming Shu Xia country?"
Most people would think of the worst, but Yan Mo shook his head: "No. That guy is reckless and arrogant, but he still knows some boundaries. Moreover, the Emperor has started to reuse him, so he doesn't need to do such a stupid thing."
Baixin sighed. "I hope so. I hope that guy can be satisfied with reality, although I don't like people like him either, but since he hasn't done anything to harm us, I hope he won't be stupid enough to dig a hole and bury himself."
She paused for a moment and looked at Mo Yu's eyes seriously, "Mo Yu, if the emperor gives you that position, will you want it?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Mo's deep and profound eyes flashed, looking at her serious expression, couldn't help but lightly laugh and say: "What, Xuan Er is interested in that position?"
Bai Xin shook her head: "I didn't think so."
He reached out and stroked her cheek, chuckling softly: "Foolish girl, you're worrying too much. The Emperor is in good health now, and it's not certain he'll abdicate even in ten or twenty years, unless someone with ulterior motives forces him to step down. Otherwise, there's no need to worry about the throne."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xinzhen also felt that there was some truth to it. The Emperor's demeanor, with his majestic and awe-inspiring presence every day, didn't seem like someone who would die young at all.
Even if I don't live until 80 or 90 years old, can't I at least live for another decade?
It seems a bit early to worry about these things now. Moreover, if others knew her thoughts, who knows what they would think of her?
Looking at her relieved expression, Yan Mo Yu lowered his head and pressed it against her forehead, saying seriously: "I won't take the initiative to accept that position, but I also don't oppose taking over that position. If the Emperor insists on choosing me, it must be because others are not doing well enough, making him unable to entrust it with peace of mind. Then I will definitely take on this heavy responsibility for the Emperor, as a minister of Shu Xia country, it is an unavoidable duty and mission. But if there is someone better than me, I will naturally have admiration for him, as a minister, assisting the wise king is what I should do. Everything revolves around the word 'fate', we don't need to cling to anything, Ran Er, you understand?"
The first time she heard him express his views on the throne in his heart, Bai Xincheng was touched a little.
She said that the men in her family are mature and rational, with their own set of principles for doing things.
Actually, there's nothing to worry about in the future. If someone is not satisfied, just let them come and take it if they can; what belongs to them will be theirs, and what doesn't belong to them they won't want to fight others for.
Moreover, as he said, the Emperor is still vigorous and proud, who knows that in the future he might not be satisfied with these sons and directly pass the throne to his grandson.
After understanding, Baixin's heart suddenly became clear and bright.
Things that are too far away don't need her to think about them anymore, she just wants to think about things in front of her now.
"Come to think of it, if the envoy from Xiyun Country fakes his own disappearance, wouldn't we have to take responsibility for not protecting him properly?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as he's safe and sound. Since he suddenly returned to our Shu Xia country, we'll secretly observe him for a while to see what he's after. As for the people who escorted him to Xi Yun country, I didn't call them back."
Bai Xin's brow furrowed: "Are you thinking of taking this opportunity to send someone to Xiyun Country to investigate the whereabouts of the Holy Doctor?"
"Uh-huh. Feng Yixia once saved my life, and for the past ten years in Shu Xia country, I've been protecting him. Although we're from different clans, we've always called each other brothers. If he's in trouble, I won't just stand by and do nothing. If necessary, I'll personally go to Xi Yun country."
Bai Xin nodded silently. Alright, considering that guy had treated her gynecological disease, she should also lend him a helping hand.
Moreover, he was also recognized as her husband's brother, so she naturally supported him!
The couple discussed the proper matter in the study and Bai Xinyan got up to leave.
"Moyu, I think Xue Leng is still at Meiren Manor. I'll go take a look and bring her back while I'm at it."
Yan Mo pulled her back, disapprovingly saying: "That guy has probably already set his sights on the Cheng Wang Fu, you going to Mei Ren Zhuang now is no different from giving him an opportunity to find someone."
Bai Xin hesitated: "But I couldn't let Xue Lian stay in the Mei Ren Zhuang forever, could I? And now I don't even know if she's still there. If she is, that's fine, but what if she isn't? She has no money and no connections, what can be done?"
Yan Mo said in a low voice, "Although Mei Ren Zhuang is a brothel, it's probably the only safe place for her to hide now. I'll send someone over to inform Wu Niang and have her take good care of Miss Liu."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng's mouth twitched slightly. Suddenly thinking of something, she playfully asked: "You help outsiders but not your own brother, aren't you afraid that he'll hold a grudge against you?"
He lightly snorted: "That guy has a small belly and intestines, can't he remember the hatred for me? It's not lacking this one."
Bai Xin rolled her eyes speechlessly. You scold others for being narrow-minded, but now you're voluntarily hiding someone's wife away, aren't you also being narrow-minded and trying to make him suffer?
No wonder they were born from the same father, all of them have the same moral character, each and every one of them is sinister and shameless.
……
That day, Bai Xincheng didn't go to Meiren Manor, but Yin Du brought back news that Liu Xuelan was indeed hiding in Meiren Manor. Moreover, Wu Niang had already helped her disguise herself, so she wouldn't be discovered by certain people in Meiren Manor.
After staying in the mansion for two days, she was really worried about leaving Liu Xuelan alone in that kind of place, so after nightfall, she took Yin Du and Blood Shadow to secretly head to Meiren Manor.
I thought Liu Xuelan would be depressed and bored in the Mei Ren Zhuang, and might even blame her. But after she went there, it was discovered that a certain woman not only didn't show any signs of depression, but also had a radiant complexion, with rouge applied to her face so thickly that it almost surpassed the imperial concubine's makeup. When Liu Xuelan saw her, she was extremely excited, and even pulled Bai Xinyan into a room and spun around in front of her several times.
"Look at me now, don't you think I stand out?"
At the moment when Bai Xin saw her again, her little heart almost stopped beating.
I've seen people badmouthing themselves, but never as badly as this.
Let's not talk about how she put on that blush, just her outfit is enough to make people vomit last night's dinner. The skirt with several colors, red, green and black, none of the colors match. Wrapped up like a rice dumpling.
But somehow a certain woman seemed not to mind at all and was even pleased to say to her:
"My heart is dyed, I'm telling you, with this getup of mine, don't even mention men taking a dislike to me at first sight, I reckon even Old Liu wouldn't recognize me. Actually, I think it's not bad living in the Beautiful Lady Villa, Auntie said she'd let me help out with some simple chores, like serving tea and pouring wine for people, and she even said she'd give me some spending money."
