Never marry a fool.

  "Yun Wangye asked Bai Dashao to be the matchmaker, a big man coming to be the matchmaker is quite interesting, don't you think?" Bai Liuli seemed not to notice Bai Zhenzhu's unusual reaction and smiled, "It's rare that I've become like this and someone still doesn't mind me, sister, do you think I should accept this marriage proposal?"

  "No way!" Bai Zhenzhu's hands instinctively tightened around Bai Liuli's arms, but she quickly realized her own loss of composure and replaced the incredulity in her eyes with concern. "Sister, that's Yun Wangye! Haven't you heard the rumors on the streets? How can I let you marry Yun Wangye? No, absolutely not! How would I be able to face our deceased parents?"

  Dad and mom? Bai Luli heard Bai Zhenzhu's words, which were too smooth to be true, and sneered in her heart. It was amazing that she could say these two words so smoothly.

  "Sister, rumors are just rumors, and besides, didn't he appear in broad daylight yesterday? Didn't you also make eye contact with him? If the rumor were true, how could we still be talking here today? White Luli slightly lowered her eyes, looking at White Zhenzhu's pale and trembling hands grasping her arms, as if she was truly afraid for her sake. Who knew that in reality, White Luli had completely unrelated thoughts hidden in her heart? As she lifted her hand to remove White Zhenzhu's grasp, she said, "Moreover, this face of mine will probably never be married off in this lifetime. I should feel fortunate that the Cloud King is willing to marry me despite my appearance, so why would I believe those groundless rumors?"

  "Sister is the mistress of the White family, and she is the most beloved niece of the current emperor. If sister wants to get married, how can there be no one to marry her?" White Pearl's hand was lifted again by White Luli, grasping her wrist with a worried expression, as if afraid that White Luli would really agree to the marriage proposal from the Yun Wang Fu without thinking it through. Like a mother eager for her daughter to become a phoenix, she tightly held onto White Luli's hand and wouldn't let go. "Regardless of whether the rumors outside are true or not, sister does not agree with this marriage. Luli, you have always listened to your sister since childhood, can't you just listen to your sister's advice this once? There are so many good men in the world, why must you insist on marrying Yun Wang Ye?"

  "Will I be able to find my true love just by listening to your words, sister?" White Luli asked in a low voice, gazing at White Zhenzhu's rippling eyes through the thin black veil. The former White Luli wouldn't have been so blind as to trust this beloved sister, even if she couldn't see into her innermost thoughts. If she really had White Luli's best interests at heart, then there wouldn't be this lone soul from another world reborn in this body. "Sister, are you truly thinking of my well-being by stopping me from marrying the Cloud King?"

  Although Bai Zhenzhu tried her best to conceal her true thoughts, the flicker in her eyes still betrayed her perfect disguise. Although it was only for a brief moment and no one else noticed, Bai Liuli, who had trained her eyes to be as sharp as an eagle's, accurately captured the subtle abnormality in her gaze. Bai Zhenzhu's repeated reactions confirmed the suspicions in her mind, and she was afraid that her conjecture would not be wrong.

  "Sister, I am your sister. If I didn't truly care about you, who else would I care about...?" Bai Zhenzhu heard Bai Liuli's words with a questioning tone and her beautiful eyes suddenly became misty, "Doesn't little sister trust big sister? This makes big sister not know what to do..."

  The maid beside her, although lowering her head, still clearly heard the conversation between the two. Hearing Bai Zhenzhu's soft voice about being injured, she couldn't help but scold Bai Liuli in her heart. If even someone as good as Miss Zhenzhu was suspected by her, it was truly a waste of her life!

  "I just casually asked a question, and my sister burst into tears? My sister is such a weak-willed person, if she gets married in the future, I really won't be able to rest assured. She's really good at pretending, truly thinking of her well-being, but actually thinking of how to send her back to hell again. Getting married might not be a bad idea, the more White Pearl thinks about it, the more she can't let her do it, but it also depends on whether she still has any breath left after giving them back all the evil they've done to her doubled. At that time, she can indeed consider giving her to a good family."

  Bai Zhenzhu indeed lived up to Bai Liuli's expectations, and upon hearing the news of her marriage, she immediately blushed and lowered her eyes, pouting as she scolded Bai Liuli, "Sister, don't tease me, I don't want to get married, I only want to spend my whole life guarding the White family."

  Her face was as pale and delicate as a white pearl, so beautiful that it could be described as "a beauty that can be savored like a meal". Even the cold and aloof Bai Lian saw her and felt her heart flutter. No wonder men all liked women who knew how to be gentle and soft at the right times. But unfortunately, she was not a man, would not pamper beauties, nor cherish them. When the time came to crush her into dust, she would do so without hesitation, it's just that now is not the time yet.

  "Is that so? Sister is so sensible, should the parents under Jiuquan regret giving birth to this daughter?" Bai Liuli smiled faintly and said something that was unclear whether it was praise or blame, but in any case, it made Bai Zhenzhu's face reveal a few hints of awkwardness.

  Don't want to get married? It's probably not that she doesn't want to get married, but rather she only wants to marry the person she wants to marry.

  Unfortunately, Bai Zhenzhu is destined to never be with the person she wants to marry, for how could she let Bai Zhenzhu have her way?

  "Sister is talking nonsense, Father and Mother love no one more than Sister." Speaking of Bai Zhifu, a sad expression immediately floated onto Bai Zhenzhu's face. She grasped Bai Liuli's hand sincerely and said, "So, Sister, please listen to me, you absolutely cannot marry Yun Wangye, regardless of whether the rumors are true or not. I don't want to see you having any misfortune. If Father and Mother in Jiuchuan were to find out, they would be heartbroken. Even if you're not considering anyone else, you should consider Grandfather's feelings, shouldn't you?"

  "The Bai family's current status is far from what it used to be. If I marry the Yun King, I can definitely bring up the status of the White House, isn't that great?"

  "Sister, do you want me to kneel down and beg you before you'll listen to me?" White Pearl's face showed a pained expression due to her failure to persuade her sister, her words were filled with a pleading tone, truly showing that she was willing to sacrifice everything for her sister.

  Bai Liuli remained silent.

  "If my sister really wants to exchange her lifelong happiness for the status of the White Mansion, then... let me take her place and get married instead!"

  Hmph...

  Bai Zhenzhu, you've finally spoken your mind?
