Daughter-in-law's family

  While Bailiuliu gazed afar at Yun Que and Mu Yan, they were also looking back at her.

  At this moment, Mu Ze looked at Bai Liu Li who was still wearing a veil, then at Bai Yun Xiang, and with an expression of utter disdain, picked up a small piece of pastry from the stone table in front of him and threw it into his mouth. As he chewed, he said: "Look at you, thinking you've seen some great beauty. Look at your taste, tsk, tsk, I don't even want to say."

  Baili Yunxiao didn't respond to him, and no one knew what kind of expression or eyes he had under the mask. All they saw was that he quietly watched as Bai Liuli slowly walked towards the pavilion, just like Mu Ze said, as if he had seen a beautiful woman and was completely distracted.

  "What color is she wearing?" The wind brushed against her face, blowing away Baoli Yun's voice to a faint whisper.

  "Just like you, black as the mud in a muddy pit." Mu Ze swallowed the pastry in his mouth, took a sip of tea from the cup beside him, and leaned against Bai Li Yun Zai's side, asking somewhat mysteriously, "Did you really see it?"

  He saw a fourth color besides black, white and gray, the fourth color in his eyes between heaven and earth.

  "Hmm." Ba Li Yun Xiao responded faintly.

  "Really?" Mu Ze seemed to be disbelieving, and looked again at the approaching Bai Liuli. In his eyes, she was still all black from head to toe. Not to mention a fourth color, there wasn't even a second or third color. What on earth did this cold-faced man see?

  "Hmm." He didn't know what color it was, only that it wasn't one of the three colors he had seen before, and it was dyed on her clothes, making the already dull scene around her even more bleak.

  What color was it...? Purple? Red? Or blue? He didn't know, but he knew that it was a color that shouldn't belong to this world. Because of her existence, it appeared especially vivid in his eyes.

  Bai Luli didn't know what was on Baiyun's mind, but she stared at him without any reserve.

  He was wearing a mask today, but it wasn't the green-faced, fanged one. Instead, it was a large, coal-black mask with two sharp teeth protruding from his lips, painted white to make the black face look even darker. His left eye was a deep crimson, like bloodstains, while his right eye was painted a glossy black, like an empty socket after the eyeball had been gouged out. Two pointed horns, each about an inch long, adorned his forehead. The mask was so realistic that it seemed to be his actual face. He wore this ghostly mask every day, and over time, even if he were human, people would mistake him for a ghost.

  Yet, it was such a man who didn't show his true face, with a head of raven-black hair that even women envied. Perhaps in his own estate, at this moment, his three thousand strands of black hair were unbound and untied, simply letting his long hair hang freely down his back and shoulders. Under the gentle sunlight and soft breeze, she could clearly see the luster on his black hair.

  This was the first time in the White Mansion's ancestral hall that Bai Luli had not carefully observed Baili Yunfei. Now, as she walked towards the pavilion, she had enough time to observe Baili Yunfei clearly.

  As Bai Luli approached, Baili Yunzhu slowly stood up from the stone bench. Bai Luli discovered that apart from his three thousand black silk-like hair, his figure was flawless. A narrow-sleeved black robe with silver thread cloud pattern embroidery outlined his broad shoulders and slender waist of about six feet, making him almost perfect. Despite wearing a ghost mask to cover his face, standing next to the elegant Mu Zhen, he didn't look out of place at all. On the contrary, it made people unable to move their eyes away for a long time, and even Bai Luli, who had never cared about men's appearances, couldn't help but wonder what kind of face was hidden under that ghost mask.

  It's such a man who was rumored by the people to be a heartless and unscrupulous "Ghost King", it's such a man who repeatedly made Mu Zhen approach her with marriage proposals, it's such a man who seemed to see through her thoughts and ruthlessly rejected the white pearl?

  She didn't believe any of the rumors circulating around, but now looking at this man in front of her, she believed one thing alone - the Ghost King was indeed as mysterious as a riddle, and he gave her the feeling that he couldn't be seen through or guessed, like an unsolvable puzzle.

  "Ah, you little scamp! How come you're only arriving now?! I've been waiting for you here for half a day already!" Old White immediately jumped out of the pavilion to grab Bái Liǔlì as soon as he saw him approaching. He puffed out his chest and glared with wide eyes, saying "Come on, come on! The tea here is excellent! And the snacks are delicious too! I haven't had such good tea or eaten such tasty snacks in a long time! You little scamp, you try some too!"

  Bai Luli took a look at the stone table, which was filled with tea snacks and teacups. Next to the stone table, there was a wooden tray holding tea-making utensils. At this moment, the water in the teapot had already boiled and was gurgling out of the spout, emitting white steam. The aroma of tea was rich and sweet, and even she, who didn't understand tea, felt that it was refreshing and soothing to her heart. As for Old Man Yue, a tea enthusiast, it was no wonder he lingered and didn't return to the mansion.

  Bai Lianlian ignored Old White, who was pulling her along, and instead nodded slightly to Baili Yunfei, who stood across from her behind the stone table. "Bai Lianlian has seen King Yun, King Yun is well."

  Although this man made Mu Ze say hello repeatedly and annoyed her, he was the one who had helped her in the White House before, or even more likely to be the one who opened the coffin for her. Moreover, he was a dignified prince, so she needed to see him out of both affection and reason.

  "No need to be polite." Baili Yunhu's tone was always light and seemed to never change, "I heard that Old Master Bai has good tea, the mansion just received a new type of tea, especially asked Tingfeng to invite Old Master Bai to taste it. Since Miss Bai is already here, would you like to sit down and try some too?"

  "Thank you, King Yun, but I'm not familiar with tea art. I just came to pick up my grandfather and take him back home." Bai Luli politely declined Baili Yunchu's offer, then turned her head to look at Old White Yue, her eyes suddenly becoming serious, her tone also turning stern, "Old Yue, let's go home."

  This old man only knows how to run around wildly and doesn't know that others are worried about him. When he gets back, he should be properly educated.

  Bai Luli said, turning her hand to grab hold of Old White's wrist, preventing him from refusing to follow her back home and running away. Who knew it was just as she had expected? He didn't follow her, but he also didn't run away. Instead, he plopped his butt back down on the stone bench and loudly declared his stance: "I'm not going home! I want to drink tea here!"

  Bai Luli was both laughing and crying, but didn't dare to get angry in front of Baili Yunfei, so she coaxed him gently: "Isn't there tea at home? Go back and you can continue drinking."

  "The tea at home is not good to drink, so I won't go back home. I'll just drink tea here instead. After all, this place is also my home." Old White completely ignored Bai Lian's advice and hummed in a forceful tone.

  "What nonsense are you spouting! How can this be your home?" This old man really has no qualms about saying anything...

  "Old man, I'm not messing around, you're the one who's messing around!" Old White glared at Bai Liumei, puffing out his beard, and stood up again in agitation, loudly retorting to Bai Liumei, "Your wife said it herself, her family is your family, your family is my family, don't believe me? Go ask your wife yourself!"

  “……”

  Mu Nai laughed so hard she spat out her tea.
