Sixty-two beat her so badly she didn't even recognize her own mother
Bai Xinzhi returned to the main courtyard's bedroom and had just sat down for a short while when he saw Yan Moyu return from the palace.
She saw him in his court dress, went to the trunk and took out his casual clothes, pulled him to the bedside and sat down, starting to help him change.
Although he never cried out in pain, she would secretly ache every time she changed his dressing. Just like the first time they met in Maoshan Village when she sutured the wound on his thigh, it was also her who had sutured that long gash on his arm.
I'm worried that his wound won't heal well.
These days, the woman's words have obviously decreased, and Yan Mo Yu can't help but notice. He knows that she still has grievances in her heart, but since he is currently injured, she doesn't want to bother him with it.
Judging from this situation, he dared to be sure that once his injury healed, she would definitely settle the score with him after autumn!
In his heart, he had already lamented for himself in advance. He cooperated with her to change out of his mourning attire. Looking at the woman's cautious appearance, although he said with a hint of regret that he shouldn't have kept it from her, in his heart, he couldn't help but feel - it was worth it!
This time, the stratagem of bitter flesh actually made him most satisfied with her attitude. At least her tension let him know that she was very concerned about herself... As for others, he really didn't think there was anything worth being happy about.
"Put your hands up!" Taking off his clothes was easy, but putting them back on was slightly more difficult. Bai Xinzhen looked at him with a somewhat distracted expression and suddenly commanded.
The old man did the same and raised his arm.
"Don't raise your hand, don't move your elbow!" She glared at him fiercely, thinking she was made of steel?
The old man just moved his hand slightly when he heard the words.
"Squat down a bit, what's the point of being so tall for nothing?"
A certain old man's mouth twitched: "......?!" Then he slightly bowed his head.
"Get dressed and tie your belt yourself!" The woman ordered again, pulling a long face as she was about to turn around.
I'm speechless with laughter and tears because of his outfit, from head to toe he's being so cooperative, can't I just give him a good face?
He suddenly pulled her body, which was about to leave, into his arms, and with a fearless low head, he lightly bit onto her smooth neck. Fragrant, smooth, delicious... it had also been several days since he last had any.
Watching him hug himself with that injured arm, Bai Xinzhen gritted his teeth and nearly took action to slap him flying.
Without struggling, she felt his scorching breath bringing her a thrill, and sensed that the temperature on his body seemed to have risen. She glared at him with a cold face: "Don't touch me until your injury heals!"
"......?!" A streak of black line slid down from Yan Mo's forehead. When she was injured, she didn't let him touch her; when the injury healed, she wanted to settle accounts with herself, and it seemed even less likely that she would let him touch her now.
He let out a sigh of resentment and decided not to provoke her for now, waiting for these few days to pass.
Lead her to sit down at the table.
"The day after tomorrow is the Crown Prince's birthday, are you willing to accompany your husband there?" asked in a gentle and soft tone, with an air of "I'm discussing this with you".
Seeing is believing, but it almost made me laugh. Did you think that was enough to correct your mistakes?
With a stern face, she replied stiffly: "Go, why not go?" Since they were going to live together, she should get to know the people he came into contact with. Moreover, this prince was no ordinary person and even wanted to harm him, so shouldn't she take a look at what his enemies looked like?
He held her hand tightly, fiddling with her fingertips one by one, and his mood was not bad.
In the evening, Bai Xinzhuang took Huiying to Liyuan again. In fact, it was not difficult for her to do so from dawn till dusk, after all, she had done this before. If she were really asked to kowtow and kneel down to serve tea, she would have left long ago.
However, this time they did not see Qiu Shi, but were told by Qiu Shi's maid that Qiu Shi was ill and sleeping in the house, unable to meet them.
On her way back, Bai Xinzhi was still somewhat puzzled. This person was radiant in the morning, so how did he end up bedridden again by nightfall?
Doubts return to doubts, and she didn't take it to heart either.
The second evening
Bai Xinzhi felt that he hadn't cooked with his own hands for a long time and had some nostalgia, so he went to the main courtyard's kitchen.
The main house has two kitchens. One is specifically responsible for providing food for the master, and the other is for the guards and the people below the main house.
Since she married into the Cheng Wang Fu, the kitchen that was originally reserved for Yan Mo became a territory of Xue Ying.
Watching Blood Shadow preparing ingredients for dinner in the kitchen, she walked over and took over the task from her.
"Xue Ying, you go somewhere else and see if there's anything you need to attend to. Leave this place to me. I'll cook for you all tonight."
Xue Ying was stunned and didn't say anything, he just cleaned his hands and turned around to leave.
There are two kitchens, one of which is just opposite and used by others.
At this time, the butler in charge of procurement happened to come over with his servants and directed them to move the fresh ingredients purchased into the kitchen used by the people below.
At first, Bai Xinzhen didn't notice, busy washing and cleaning vegetables. However, when she heard a very unfamiliar voice, she curiously put down what was in her hand, walked out of the kitchen door, and looked over at the opposite side.
In the main courtyard of the Wang's mansion, she could be said to be one of the freest people. However, for others, the rules of the main courtyard were very strict and severe, not just anyone could appear here, even a servant assigned to pour water at night was specifically designated.
In the main hall, there are more guards and servants who work, so the amount of food consumed daily is quite large. Unlike Yanmo Yu's private kitchen, which only stores some fine, expensive, and special ingredients.
Not far away, a tall and slightly dark-skinned man was directing his servants to do things. The man was dressed as a steward, about forty years old, spoke clearly, and had a serious and solemn expression, looking quite capable and efficient.
"Blood Shadow, who is that person? Why haven't I seen him before? Isn't Uncle Dong in charge of procurement for the main hall? When did they change people?"
Although she rarely entered the kitchen after marrying into the Cheng Wang Fu and didn't ask about the affairs of the Cheng Wang Fu, she still understood the people in the main courtyard. For example, Dong Shu, who was responsible for purchasing goods for the main courtyard, looked quite honest and had a silly personality. Even when she pretended to be deaf and dumb before, Dong Shu would bow and greet her from afar whenever he saw her.
So she still had a pretty good impression of Dong Shu.
Now that she has changed into another person, she feels somewhat unaccustomed in her heart.
Xue Ying followed Bai Xin's line of sight and looked over with an expressionless face, replying: "Your Highness, he is the new steward recently bought by the estate, surname Sheng, name Sheng."
Buddhist monk?
Bai Xin's mouth twitched for a moment. Why don't you call him Royal Brother?
"At this age, why do you still want to sell yourself?" The Prince's mansion, in order to better control the lower people, almost did not hire any long-term workers. Whoever came to work at the Prince's mansion had signed a contract of self-sale.
"The princess, I heard that he used to be a merchant, but due to the decline of his family's fortunes, he was deeply in debt and had no choice but to become a slave in the mansion." Xue Ying truthfully recounted the background of the one called Sheng Sheng.
Bai Xin Yan raised an eyebrow: "So, does that mean that when the Cheng Wang Fu bought him into the manor, they helped him pay off a lot of debts?"
Xue Ying replied: "All personnel matters in the mansion are handled by Old Madam, I don't know anything."
Bai Xin was puzzled: "This old lady actually has such a kind heart? Oh, right, where's Dong Shu? Has the main courtyard changed people? Does Wang Ye know?"
Xue Ying replied: "Old Madame has sent Dong Shu to the backyard to guard the vegetable garden. It happened this morning, and Wang Ye doesn't know yet."
"What?" Bai Xincheng glared at Blood Shadow, "Sending Dong Shu to guard the vegetable garden? Who the hell did that? Old Madam?"
"Yes, Your Highness." Blood Shadow was indeed one of the most honest people, answering every question and speaking the truth in every response.
Bai Xin frowned and looked at the middle-aged man called 'Sheng Seng', perhaps it was Sheng Seng's clever face that made her more and more disgusted.
What made her most angry was that the old woman actually transferred Dong Shu, who was honest and diligent, to the backyard!
She has indeed planted a lot of things in the backyard, but even if she wants to guard it, just tying up a big wolf dog would be enough. Besides, this is the Wang Manor, let alone those things haven't grown out yet, even if they have grown out, who the hell dares to steal? Unless that person has a pomegranate head!
Bai Xin was silent for a moment, and it can be said that she understood. These seemingly unrelated things were actually done by Qiu Shi on purpose.
It's just that I want to tell her that in this mansion, she is still the most respected elder.
Looking at the busy people opposite, Bai Xinzhu suddenly lost his mood and stayed in the kitchen. Naturally, the task of making dinner was handed over to Xuexing again. And she went to the backyard with some anger.
In the backyard, I saw Dong Shu as expected. This old man with some white temples was sitting under a tree at this moment, and his whole person was listless, just like he had lost his soul.
"Uncle Dong." Walking over, Bai Xincheng called out in a warm voice.
As soon as he heard someone calling him, Dong Shu subconsciously raised his head and saw that it was Bai Xinzhi. He quickly supported himself against the tree trunk to stand up and bowed to her: "Your Highness, how did you come here?"
Bai Xinzhen smiled at him and pretended that he didn't know anything: "I was bored, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect you to be here."
"Your Highness..." Dong Shu's face wasn't very good, especially his tightly furrowed eyebrows, which revealed that he had something on his mind at a glance.
Watching him hesitate, Bai Xincheng didn't urge him either, smiling and waiting for him to speak up himself.
Dong Shu nodded several times before finally saying, "Princess, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you and the king in the future..."
"What's wrong? What happened?" Bai Xincheng continued to ask along his words.
"The old lady said that there were many complicated things in the main house, and that Xiaodie was already advanced in years and not suitable to work in the main house anymore. She said she wanted to let Xiaodie retire and spend her days in leisure in the back house."
Bai Xin smiled and nodded: "It seems that the old lady is still quite concerned about you, she has already made arrangements for your retirement."
"Your Highness..." Listening to Bai Xinzhen's words of praise, Dong Shu not only didn't show any excitement, but instead furrowed his already somewhat graying eyebrows even tighter. His gaze at Bai Xinzhen was even filled with pity, "Your Highness, I still have the strength, and can still serve the king and you."
Seeing his distress, Bai Xin felt distressed too and immediately put away her smile. She patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "Uncle Dong, I've heard that you've been in the main house for almost ten years now. Given your usual performance and loyalty, I'm sure the king also has a good impression of you, which is why he's never replaced you. As for your character, I admire it too. Since the old lady wants to support you in your old age and is willing to spend money on you, just focus on enjoying your retirement, this is also the return you deserve after contributing to the Wang Fu for many years."
"The princess..." Dong Shu's eyes showed a hint of anxiety, clearly disapproving of what Bai Xincheng had said. He was just a lowly servant who had sold himself into slavery, let alone having the qualifications to enjoy his old age; even if he were to die from exhaustion, it would be no more than he deserved. The old lady's words sounded pleasant enough, but he knew full well that she was actually looking down on him as useless and just wanted to get rid of him.
He is not reconciled to it, since he can still work, how can he just idle away and wait for death here?
"Wait, Uncle Dong," Bai Xin interrupted, raising her hand to cut him off. "I know what you want to say, but please don't be in a hurry, let me finish speaking first. The old lady wants you to retire and I also agree with that. It's not that I think you're useless, it's just that at your age, after working hard for a lifetime, finding a place to enjoy your later years is only natural. However..."
She looked up at the bare vegetable field, not even a bird's nest. She suddenly curled her lips and smiled meaningfully at Dong Shu, "Dong Shu, do you believe me?"
Dong Shu didn't understand what she wanted to do, but he nodded his head stupidly. Although the princess's words and actions were a bit eccentric, she was easy-going and wouldn't make things difficult for others. A master like this was a blessing for their servants, something they had accumulated over several lifetimes.
Bai Xin smiled and said, "Since Uncle Dong has chosen to believe me, I will definitely not let him down. Since the old lady wants you to stay here and rest, we'll follow her wishes. However, the conditions here are a bit simple, there isn't even a place to take shelter, how can that be okay? Tonight, just temporarily put up with staying here, but starting tomorrow, you won't have to worry about having no place to sleep. From now on, you can rest assured and live here, got it?"
After she finished speaking, she didn't give Dong Shu a chance to ask questions back, and turned around to leave the backyard with big strides.
Leaving Dong Shu staring blankly, bewildered, and even looking embarrassed standing in place. “……?!”.
Is he completely abandoned?
But he didn't want to be a useless person here!
……
In the evening, I returned to my room and immediately found that Bai Xinzhen was not feeling well.
Watching the woman pour all the dishes on the table into a large bowl, even the bowl of white rice in front of him was not spared.
His forehead was somewhat black: "...?!" Is this temper too big, even the meal is not given to him?!
"What are you doing?" Not only did she not give him anything to eat, but she also poured all of her own food into that big bowl. What is she trying to do?
Bai Xin, with his head still lowered, replied: "We're eating big fish and meat here, while some people are starving. I just don't understand why the prestigious Cheng Wang Fu can mistreat an old man in his fifties. Looking at all this food, I feel like we're committing a sin. Let's not eat it, let's pour it all out to feed the pigs instead! If there aren't any pigs, have someone go buy a few from the market tomorrow."
"......?!" Yan Mo covered her face with her hands, she didn't understand a word.
He didn't even look at her, muttering to himself nonstop: "Although people are divided into three six nine classes, those lower-class people's lives are worthless, but seeing someone about to starve to death in front of me makes me feel a little unbearable. This feeling is impossible for you rich people who have lived in luxury since childhood to understand, but I, who grew up eating at many different households, cannot bear such things happening. And if this gets out, I think it would be really shameful, too heartless."
“……?!”
"And another thing, I'm really regretful now. What was I thinking when I decided to create a vegetable garden in the backyard? Now I have to ask someone who's over 60 years old to guard it for me. Not only is there no dog food, but not even a bird's nest. I feel like I'm committing a sin! If this continues, my sister will surely die prematurely!"
"......?!" After listening for a long time, Yan Mo finally made out some sense. Suddenly, he turned cold and grabbed the woman's busy hands: "What exactly happened?"
What does a 60-year-old woman have to do with guarding a vegetable garden? What about dog food? What about bird nests? What does any of this have to do with her?
Bai Xinzhi shook off his hand and walked out of the cafeteria with a large bowl full of food without looking back.
"......?" Yan Mo raised his eyes and followed Zhang Jun's face closely as he walked out.
In the backyard, he watched from a distance as the woman handed the large bowl to someone, who knelt in front of her and kept kowtowing. When he saw the person's appearance clearly, Yan Moyu clenched his fist and walked over.
"What's going on here?" His icy voice rose, looking at the person kneeling on the ground, his eyes were so cold that they were a bit frightening. "Uncle Dong, how did you end up here? Who allowed you to be here?"
"Bai Xin directly sprayed him: 'What are you yelling about? Are you trying to be louder than everyone else? If you want to know why, why don't you go ask that old lady at the Pear Institute? Are you bullying us because we have no background and no backing?!'"
He suppressed his anger and forced a smile, but he couldn't vent out the pent-up rage in his heart. He also wanted to know the reason!
"Uncle Dong, you're not working in the main hall, what brings you here?"
Under his oppressive aura of coldness, Dong Shu had no choice but to recount everything from start to finish.
After listening to the whole story, I found that Detian was not as cold as before. Suddenly, he said to Dong Shu: "Since your mother asked you to stay here, then Dong Shu can rest assured and stay here."
After finishing speaking, he walked towards Bai Xindye, disregarding his own injuries, and directly bent down to pick her up horizontally. Then, under Dong Shu's painful expression, he took large strides to leave the backyard.
Back in the room, Bai Xinyi continued to mock and ridicule him nonstop. She even glanced at him sideways almost every time she looked at him because of his indifferent attitude in the backyard earlier.
"This world is so bleak, those who work hard like oxen all their lives end up with a miserable fate. Alas, someone like me who spends every day idling away and doing nothing will probably be discarded and left to drown in a cesspit when the time comes, not even worth burying."
Listening to those words, Yan Mo's face turned as black as coal, wanting to get angry but not daring to, wanting to laugh but not daring to, and even wanting to say a word couldn't get in edgewise.
"Your Highness, I think it's better for you to divorce me as soon as possible. This way, not only can your household save some food, but also other innocent people won't suffer from inexplicable mistreatment because of me."
Since things have been said to this extent, if I still remain silent, then it would be in vain for me to be a man.
He walked over and pulled the woman into his arms. Not daring to really confront her, he could only sigh and open his mouth: "Just tell me what you want to do."
Let her go on, and I'm afraid all eight generations of ancestors will be scolded by her one by one!
He didn't say he wouldn't care about this matter, he just wanted to hear her express her thoughts voluntarily, but she never said anything, only mocking and making sarcastic remarks.
"With someone like me who has no power in their hands and no one backing them up from above, is what I say even useful?"
I'm about to slap her hard right now. With a cold face, almost gnashing his teeth, he said: "No matter what anyone else says, it doesn't count; only when I say it does it count!"
"Alright, since you said so. I'll reluctantly offer some suggestions then."
"......?!" Still going through the motions?!
"We, the Wang family, are a respectable household in the capital. If word gets out that we're mistreating an elderly person, wouldn't we lose face? But your mother has also spoken up, and we can't openly defy her either. In that case, let's follow your mother's wishes and arrange for Fourth Uncle to have a place to live out his old age. The location was chosen by your mother, although the terrain in the back courtyard is a bit secluded, the environment is quiet and the air is fresh, making it suitable for an elderly person to live out their days. So, Your Lordship should quickly issue orders to build a simple dwelling. It doesn't need to be too luxurious, just three rooms, two halls, plus a kitchen and a toilet will do. The furniture also doesn't need to be too expensive, just some ordinary purple sandalwood or pear wood pieces will suffice. Oh, right, since this is for Fourth Uncle's old age, we can't have him doing everything himself. We should arrange for a few maidservants to attend to him. Since there aren't any available from the main courtyard, you can go to the Pear Courtyard and casually assign a few people."
After hearing her arrangement, Yan Mo almost cramped all over. “……?!
This thing was done by that person from Pear Courtyard. If they knew her intention, I wonder if the people on the side of Pear Courtyard would vomit blood?
"All right, I'll give the order tomorrow and have people build houses in the backyard."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng finally revealed a slightly better expression. In a place where the man couldn't see, she curled up her lips in satisfaction.
Old lady, you're so lucky I don't kill you with a single glance!
The next day
The Crown Prince's birthday, the Emperor issued a special decree the day before yesterday, today does not need to attend the morning court. Let all officials have enough time to prepare and go together to congratulate the Crown Prince on his birthday.
One morning, when she heard that Yan Mo had indeed ordered the construction of a house in the backyard, Bai Xinzhu's mood suddenly improved. From dressing to eating, she could feel her good mood, and even towards Yan Mo, she began to show a smiling face.
The prince's birthday banquet lasted from noon to evening, and since it was decided that they would go along with the excitement, Bai Xiner specially entrusted Xueying to dress her up properly. Not saying that she wanted to make a big fuss, but at least she should live up to the title of 'Crown Princess' on her head?
She is a normal person now, and when it's time to take the high-end route, she absolutely cannot take the low-end vulgar route. Anyway, in other people's eyes, she used to be an idiot, so even if she becomes mentally ill now, I believe no one dares to say anything about her.
Xue Ying spent almost an hour before he finally managed to tidy up Bai Xing Chen from head to toe.
When I returned to the room to pick her up and set off together, I was almost blinded by those deep and enchanting eyes.
The woman in the room was dressed in a magnificent robe that represented her noble status, with a pale purple color and golden trim, peony clouds and floating flowers, a fitted cut that set off the woman's delicate and slender figure, both elegant and refined, yet charming and captivating.
Nor did I know who designed it, but the hem of the skirt was adorned with many sparkling things, circling around the hem, and with a casual movement of the woman, it became even more dazzling, making her whole person seem to have an extra spirit.
When he saw the sparkling flower on the woman's forehead, Yan Mo couldn't help but twitch his lips violently.
This woman actually got the stuff on her face onto her skirt!
Looking at that exquisitely painted face, Yan Mo's eyes flashed with a hint of light, and he involuntarily walked over.
He gently stroked her cheek, this face may not be plump, but the features are extremely good, especially her eyes, when not wearing makeup, clear and bright, with a hint of calmness, very pleasing to the eye. After putting on makeup, with that outlined eye angle, it actually added a bit of unhidden charm, at first glance, it still looks like a fairy's incarnation...
The first time he saw her so dazzling and charming, Yan Mo was speechless, his mouth dry and tongue-tied. If it weren't for the presence of a blood shadow like a wooden stake beside him, he would have liked to strip his own woman naked, swallow her whole and then talk about it later.
Bai Xin's eyes met his, and she saw the wolfish glint in them. Her mouth twitched, and she hastily retreated a step, trying not to get too close to him. It had taken great effort to create this high-end atmosphere, and if he were to ruin it, wouldn't all their efforts be for naught?
"When are we leaving?" She raised an eyebrow shaped like a new moon and asked.
He swallowed hard and suppressed his urge to rush forward, instead taking her hand and walking out of the house.
The bloodstained face followed with no expression.
The palace is not a place where everyone can go, due to the prince's birthday, almost all civil and military officials went with their families. In order to ensure safety in the palace, Emperor Xia Gao had someone clear out a vacation spot outside the palace that he often visited, and set it up specially for celebrating the prince's birthday.
It took almost half a time to arrive at this place called Gu Meng Ju from Cheng Wang Fu.
This was the first time Bai Xinzhen appeared in public with Mo Yu. As soon as she got down from the luxurious carriage, she felt surrounded by numerous gazes.
Wherever the man goes, there will be whispers of admiration and envy from others behind him.
"Is this really Princess Cheng? She's incredibly beautiful!"
"So what if you're beautiful? I heard you used to be stupid before?"
"I also heard that Princess Cheng is deaf and mute, I don't know if she can hear when people talk to her."
"I really don't understand, Emperor Cheng wants what kind of woman, there are no women like her, but he insists on choosing her as his concubine, marrying a deaf and mute woman, let alone losing face, I'm afraid there won't even be any romance."
"What's it to you? Some people like being deaf and dumb, if you're uncomfortable with it, then go be one yourself."
……
Listening to those comments that were both praising and criticizing, Bai Xinzhu found it amusing. Gossip was everywhere!
Under the wide sleeves, the couple held hands and followed the palace staff directly to the banquet hall.
And behind them, a gaze shot out like venom, spraying towards the back of the man and woman.
Today, the people from the Shangshu Fu came in a relatively neat and tidy manner, led by Shangshu He Zhengzhou, accompanied by his wife, two sons, and two daughters-in-law. With their entourage, they looked like a group of tourists on an outing, which shows that this family attaches great importance to the Crown Prince's birthday.
Bai Xin walked at the end, and from a distance, she saw that majestic, tall, and cold man, especially the woman beside him. Although it was only her back, Bai Xin could tell that this woman was different from before, with an air of elegance that was worlds apart. Previously, she had some doubts about whether her so-called sister had really changed for the better, but at this moment, upon seeing that figure, she couldn't help but believe the rumors were true. Amidst the shock, she felt a pang of envy, jealousy, and hatred in her heart like never before.
She was waiting for Cheng Wang to get tired of that waste and abandon it, but unexpectedly that waste not only wasn't abandoned, but also got cured of its deaf-mute disease, becoming normal isn't enough, the temperament revealed by that back figure is already making her jealous to the point of toothache.
Why does that good-for-nothing live better than her?!
Although He Ming has made some changes to her now, at least when flirting with the maid, he knows how to avoid her line of sight. But who knows, behind people's backs, how much effort she puts into pleasing that disgusting man?
The mere thought of her living space being littered with remnants of He Ming's and other women's debauchery made her feel nauseous to the point of vomiting.
Although Na He Ming restrained himself in front of her, behind her back, he still indulged in his debauchery with women, and continued to do shameful things with the beautiful maidservants like a beast. She still had to call such a man 'husband'...
All of this is caused by that damned good-for-nothing. If she hadn't returned to the capital, if she hadn't snatched away Cheng Wang, then the woman who would be standing beside Cheng Wang right now would be her!
She is the one who deserves to be envied and jealous by others!
"What are you doing? Hurry up and follow!" He Ming, who was also walking behind, turned his head to look at the distracted woman and coldly scolded in a low voice.
This woman seems to know the big picture, but at critical moments she always loses face. Without even looking at what day it is today, she actually puts on a dying look in front of people, as if to tell others that He Ming abused her at home?
"Dear husband, don't be angry. There are too many people today and I'm not used to it, so I was a bit distracted."
"Mind your own business!" He Ming couldn't help but mutter under his breath, turning back to coldly warn, "Today, outside, you'd better be careful, don't embarrass me in front of others, or else when we get back, I'll make sure you can't just walk away with a full stomach, got it?"
"Husband, Bi'er will definitely pay attention." Bai Xintong nodded in agreement. After a pause, she suddenly furrowed her brow and raised her hand to rub her forehead, "Husband, I suddenly feel a bit dizzy, we're about to go in to celebrate the prince's birthday, what if I accidentally make a fool of myself? Why don't I just go ahead and you go with your parents, I'll sit in that pavilion over there for a while, is that okay?"
Looking at her dispirited appearance, He Ming felt somewhat indignant. But since his parents were right in front of him and there were outsiders around, he didn't dare to scold her recklessly, so he furrowed his brow and said: "If you want to go, hurry up, don't cause more trouble for me, otherwise, when we get back, see how I'll deal with you!"
Bai Xin nodded vigorously and rubbed his forehead as he walked towards the pavilion.
"Minger, Bier, what's wrong with her?" The Shangshu lady asked her own children in confusion as she saw Bai Xingbi leave.
He Ming comforted her with a smile: "Mother, Bi'er said she felt a bit dizzy, I told her to go rest at the pavilion for a while."
The lady of the Shangshu looked at the back of Cai Bai's heart and said, "Just now when we went out, everything was fine. How did you suddenly become dizzy?"
She withdrew her gaze and looked at her son with some concern: "Ming'er, Bi'er is a university student from a good family, so she must be more delicate than ordinary women. You should take care of her more often, do you understand?"
He Ming nodded obediently: "Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of her."
The wife of the Minister looked back at the figure of Bai Xincheng once again before following her family into the banquet hall.
……
It's still early to leave the seat, Bai Xincheng took Blood Shadow and Yin Dou to walk on the bluestone path, wandering around and looking at the scenery all around.
She hadn't even seen the prince yet when her husband was summoned away by a middle-aged eunuch holding a feather duster. With no choice, she could only bring two attendants out to stroll around.
"Xue Ying, you used to live in the palace, didn't you recognize that eunuch just now? Didn't you think his gaze at me was a bit strange?" She asked idly, discussing idle topics.
That eunuch just looked at her with an excited and agitated gaze...
Emma, what is she capable of? She actually managed to bewilder a eunuch!
Xue Ying didn't know about Bai Xin's twisted thoughts in her heart. If she had known, it was likely that her face, which hadn't changed for thousands of years, would have shattered into pieces instantly.
"Returning to the queen, the eunuch just now is the inner chamber manager by the emperor's side, we all call him De Gonggong." Xue Ying reported truthfully, as for what happened after Bai Xiner left, she couldn't explain clearly.
Bai Xin nodded slightly, seeming to understand.
Yin Du was relatively quiet today, learning from his master's example of self-restraint, and followed behind Bai Xinzhu without saying a word.
Three people walked to a fake mountain, in front of which was a small artificial lake. There was a pavilion by the lake, and from afar, Bai Xiner saw a figure standing alone in the pavilion, staring blankly at the lake.
Her eyesight wasn't bad, and after seeing that fleeting figure clearly, she couldn't help but curve up the corners of her mouth.
"You two just wait here, I'll go sit in that pavilion over there. Don't disturb me if it's not important." After instructing them, her gaze swept over the two of them, and she suddenly added with a somewhat mischievous tone, "If you two get bored, you can go play somewhere else, discuss life, discuss ideals, or whatever."
"Blood Shadow: '...?!'"
Yin Duton's face suddenly turned black: "......?!" What does the princess mean by this?
Want him to play with that wooden woman next to him?
Still talking about life and ideals?
Pfft! That woman looks like a dead person, does she have life or ideals?
Ignoring the reactions of the two followers, Bai Xinzhi walked towards the pavilion.
She actually thought she didn't need to pretend to have amnesia, after all, she had only been with the Bai family for a short period of time. Whether or not she had amnesia depended on her mood.
"Hey, beautiful lady, alone?" Looking at the second daughter of the White family, who looked almost identical to herself but more plump, Bai Xintong took the initiative to smile and approach her.
Bai Xinbi raised her head and suddenly widened her eyes.
"What's wrong? Seeing me, your sister, aren't you happy?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xinbi took a step back as if she had seen a ghost. "You... you... you..."
Wasn't this woman deaf and mute before? She actually knows the relationship between them?! And can even tell who's the sister and who's the younger sister?!
"My good sister, why are you alone here? Where's my charming and elegant brother-in-law who always has a roving eye for women? Why isn't he around?" White Heart Dye continued to build their relationship, seemingly oblivious to the shock on her face.
Thinking back to when they first met at the White House, this woman gave her a slap in the face that made her teeth ache.
Until now she has been thinking about whether or not to avenge this grudge.
"Sister, what's wrong? Didn't I just recover and now you've become mute again?" White Heart Dye asked with concern as she took a step closer to her.
"Get out!" Suddenly, Bai Xingbi shouted loudly, retreating two steps back while pointing at Bai Xingran with her hand. The hatred in her eyes came quickly and fiercely, "You're a jinx who brings harm to people! Who is your sister? Shameless woman, why don't you go die instead of running into my face?!
Bai Xin's smile on her face cooled down a bit. However, she hooked up her red lips and looked at Bai Xin Bi: "Sister, you really speak without covering your mouth, surprisingly you are still a young lady, how can you be like a shrew? Every day, you keep talking about 'death' this and that, I'd say, have you ever seen anything 'dead'?"
The more she looked at Bai Xiner, the thicker the shock and astonishment in her eyes became. It was impossible for a normal person to accept such a huge change all at once. Moreover, looking at Bai Xiner's elegant and refined appearance, the flames of jealousy in her heart grew even stronger.
"You shameless woman, how dare you show up in front of me? Get out, get out far away! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Bai Xin blinked, seemingly puzzled: "Sister, these words are really hard to hear. How can I be so shameless? Maybe when I was a fool before, I had some shamelessness, but now... my face is worth more than yours."
As soon as the two of them mentioned their current identities, Bai Xingbi's eyes instantly turned red, her eyes filled with tears and resentment: "You despicable star, you still have the face to speak sarcastically here? If it weren't for you, I, Bai Xingbi, would be the Crown Princess now! You not only stole my identity but also made me marry that disgusting man! All of this is because of you, I will never forgive you in my lifetime!"
"Hah~" Bai Xincheng suddenly threw his head back and laughed.
In the icy gaze of hatred, she calmly retracted her smile and looked at him with a nervous expression: "Do you know what's the biggest mistake our mother made in this life? That is - she didn't give you a normal brain."
"You!" Bai Xin's eyes turned crimson with rage, "You actually insulted my mother?!"
"Insult?" Bai Xinzhi sneered at her, "You living in this world is the greatest insult to her."
A person without a sense of right or wrong, good or evil, and affection is truly an insult to humanity - what a waste of being human!
"Bai Xinran! You shameless broom star, today I'll settle the score with you——" In an instant, Bai Xingbi suddenly charged towards Bai Xinran with a ferocious expression.
With a quick movement, he dodged her and she fell directly onto the ground.
Bai Xin Bi only lay on the ground dazed for a moment, then turned her head and glared at Bai Xin Ran with a gloomy gaze.
She's like that, Bai Xin is naturally unable to extricate herself, with someone having a vicious look as if they can't wait to eat her flesh and drink her blood, how can she just say goodbye and leave?
She raised her head, stretched out a finger and hooked it downwards, her red lips lightly smiling: "Come on? Aren't you going to fight with me? Today, I'll give you this chance, let's see how you're going to fight?"
Being obstinate and refusing to listen is seeking death!
She Bai Xinbi can casually hate someone, can't she Bai Xiner also casually hate people?
Compared to hatred, her white heart was stained with hundreds of times more than Bai Xinbi's!
Today she's determined to beat her sister so badly that even their mother won't recognize her.
