One hundred and nine wives with bad tempers

  One hundred and nine wives with bad temper

  At this time, Yan Mo didn't let her casually touch that unclean thing. Knowing she was curious and wanted to investigate, he still didn't let her go touch those things, only letting Blood Shadow go invite Lord Liu and Lord Chang over.

  Examining the corpse and investigating the cause of death were originally Bai Xinzhi's forte and greatest interest, but now he was ordered by Deteng to do nothing, and could only watch from a distance as everyone in the house surrounded the woman who had poisoned herself.

  Seeing Ah Wu and Liu Boyu finish speaking in a low voice, Bai Xintong asked Liu Boyu: "Lord Liu, what kind of poison is she poisoned with?"

  Upon hearing her voice, Liu Boyu walked over and bowed his head in a greeting to the couple.

  "Report to King Chong and Queen Chong, the poison this girl took is called Red Cherry Blossom."

  Yan Mo frowned and his handsome face suddenly turned cold.

  Bai Xin's face was a picture of ignorance, looking very curious. How could this ancient era produce such strange and bizarre poisons?

  Unfortunately, she can't get in touch with this kind of thing now because she's being watched closely. Maybe after giving birth to a child, she'll set up some sort of research institute to study all sorts of strange and unusual poisons? And learn how to make them herself at the same time.

  As she turned her head, she suddenly found that the man beside her looked unwell.

  "Your Highness, what's wrong? Is there something you know?" Outside, she didn't dare to call out his name casually and could only learn to be more reserved and polite.

  "This poison is something I've heard of before, it's from the imperial family of Xiyun country." Yan Mo said in a low voice, with a deep puzzlement between his eyebrows. He had seen this poison before at Feng Yifeng's place and asked about its origin back then. Feng Yifeng didn't hide anything from him and told him about the origins of Hongying.

  It is said that the red thread in Xiyun country is for the royal family to prevent the assassins they cultivate from having treacherous intentions, so when cultivating assassins, they will always feed them the red thread. If an unexpected situation occurs and the assassin feels fearful or has other unusual emotions different from usual, the red thread will decompose and melt in their body, causing the person to die immediately from poisoning.

  Sei-i no Sei is the prince of Saiunkoku and has known Shuue since birth, and he also knows about the relationship between Shuue and himself, so he believes that Shuue won't deceive him.

  It's puzzling why a member of the Xi Yun imperial family would appear at the White Manor in Shu Xia. The woman's aura just now was clearly not that of a martial artist, so she couldn't be an undercover guard or anything like that.

  Suddenly, he thought of the two brothers Sheng Mo in his mind. But soon, he denied these two brothers.

  Sheng Mo and his brother are not members of the Xi Yun imperial family. The Xi Yun imperial family has a deep distrust of people from other families, so it is impossible for them to pass these things on to others outside their own family.

  What's wrong with it?

  Bai Xin saw him deep in thought and didn't make a sound to disturb him.

  After a moment of contemplation, he turned to Liu Boyu and said: "Please bring the prisoner over. I have some questions for him."

  Ryūsuke Yagi didn't hesitate and quickly led the autopsy team in front of the couple.

  After the servant knelt down and saluted the two, Yan Mo didn't ask him to get up, but instead asked directly: "How did you know about Hongying?"

  The young man lowered his head, his voice laced with caution: "In response to Your Highness's question, when I was young and learning from my master, I once followed him to the Western Cloud Kingdom. By chance, I saw this type of poison, so its origin and unique properties that allow it to detect emotions left a deep impression on me."

  He narrowed his eyes, quietly listening to Wu Zuo's explanation. His cold face didn't reveal any emotions. After Wu Zuo finished speaking, he suddenly asked again: "What are the symptoms of this woman's poisoning?"

  "Your Majesty, this girl's tongue is red as blood. Apart from that, there are no other symptoms."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xin was astonished. Suddenly, he thought of the wooden coffin on Mount Lu Yun where Beiyuan Wang's corpse lay. Why did all these people show red symptoms after death? Was it possible that the poison Beiyuan Wang had been infected with before was indeed Hongying?

  How did she feel that after adding Kitahara Takaaki, many things became more complicated?

  The ink-stained fingers let go of the brush, and he retreated. Bai Xin's eyes turned, and she whispered to him: "Can we leave this woman's body behind?"

  Yan Mo patted her hand: "It's not possible for the time being, Lord Liu and Lord Chang still need to return to the palace to report back. This matter concerns people from other countries, the Emperor will definitely ask about it. After this matter is over, I'll go to the Emperor to ask for you again."

  Bai Xin thought for a moment and didn't say much else.

  After Bai Hanzhong's personal identification, it has been confirmed that the woman is not a maid of the Bai family. How she mixed into the Bai family, Bai Hanzhong is also looking for an answer, and even the old steward was severely scolded.

  The Bai Fu poisoning case, although it's getting more and more confusing, with more and more fog surrounding everyone, one thing is certain: Bai Xinran has finally been cleared of all charges.

  After the body of the unknown woman was taken away by people sent by Liu Boyu and Chang Gong, Yan Moyu, who had not expressed any opinion all along, said to Liu Boyu, Chang Gong and Bai Han: "This matter should be an internal affair of the White Mansion, and has nothing to do with the king's consort. I hope that after today, you will not come to disturb the king's consort again."

  Three middle-aged men knew in their hearts that it was highly likely that the Crown Prince's consort had been wrongly accused, and when they heard the Crown Prince speak personally, who dared to say another word.

  The couple stayed up all night and even helped catch a suspicious person. This kind of dedication is not something a suspect can do. Moreover, Princess Chong was pregnant at the time, and her body was as precious as that of the imperial concubines.

  As he was about to leave, Yan Mo gave a small-necked bottle to Bai Hanqing.

  "My father-in-law, the two medicinal pills in this bottle can be taken by Madame Bai and Tai. This medicine can detoxify and nourish the vital energy, it's a gift from me to you all. In the future, if such an event happens again, I hope that you will use your brains more, don't randomly suspect or frame others. If there is anyone who intentionally harms my queen, I will not tolerate it!"

  Bai Han lightly picked up the small medicine bottle and was immediately at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

  He suspected that the couple had come to watch the commotion. One night, they didn't bring out the antidote until it was almost dawn and people were about to leave, bringing out such a precious medicine - this was clearly intentional to make people suffer a bit more.

  But in any case, Bai Han lightly accepted the gift from Mo Yu, and considered it a token of affection. Moreover, there were two relatives in the mansion who needed this kind of precious medicine, which was hard to come by even with a thousand pieces of gold; how could he not accept it?

  The group of people from Cheng Wang Fu did not continue to stay at Bai Fu, but bid farewell to everyone and returned to Cheng Wang Fu.

  On the carriage, Bai Xing couldn't help but ask: "Where did those detoxifying and nourishing medicines of yours come from? They were fine, so why give them to them?"

  In her view, the men in her family didn't have a good impression of the Bai family. Moreover, the men in her family were not generous people and would only do things if they thought it was worth their while.

  It's not that she didn't want to save others, but she really had no feelings for the Bai family. Moreover, Old Lady He Lan was someone she actually wished would die sooner rather than later. Such a vicious old lady, it would be better for everyone if she died earlier and cleared up the air.

  Yan Mo carefully held her in his arms, trying not to let her feel the bumps of the carriage. In the dimly lit carriage, he raised his hand to stroke her upturned face, and lowered his head to rest against her forehead, suddenly chuckling: "Those medicines were given by Feng Yi, as a husband, I don't care about just two pills."

  Bai Xin's face turned pale and her lips twitched. "......"

  She said it, this man is simply not a generous person, too stingy.

  Since there are many, he actually only gave two grains to others, can this not be called stingy?

  In fact, she knew clearly in her heart that his generosity with medicine was also all for her...

  Yin Du and Xue Ying sat outside the carriage driving the horses, while the couple inside the carriage started whispering to each other.

  "Mo Yu, who exactly is behind the scenes? Is it Sheng Mo and Sheng Ziyang?" Bai Xinyan asked, revealing her long-held doubts.

  It's obvious that the poisoning of the three Bai family members was a deliberate act, and the purpose of framing her is clear. And again, it's related to people from Xiyun Country; apart from Sheng Ziyang and Sheng Mo, she can't think of any other enemies from Xiyun Country.

  Qiu Shi died, Sheng Zi Yang disappeared. They knew that Sheng Zi Yang would not give up and would avenge Qiu Shi and the child in her womb. So they searched for Sheng Zi Yang's whereabouts. But unexpectedly, Sheng Zi Yang was able to escape smoothly, and until now, there is no news of him at all. It's as if he vanished into thin air from the state of Shu Xia, leaving them with no leads or clues to continue searching.

  But unable to find anyone doesn't mean they've given up, on the contrary, Cheng Wang Fu and Feng De Wang Fu have taken many precautions, just in case something unexpected happens.

  As for the doubts about Bai Xinzhi, Yan Mo had his own views. At this moment, there was no outsider around, he lowered his voice and replied: "This matter should not be the doing of Sheng Ziyang and Sheng Mo. Nowadays, in the capital city, everywhere is filled with informants from Cheng Wangfu and Feng De Wangfu. Even if they wanted to find us for revenge, they wouldn't be foolish enough to appear now."

  Bai Xin wrinkled her nose: "I wonder who it could be?"

  Noticing her worry, Yan Mo patted her back and said, "You don't need to bother with this matter, just consider it a coincidence that we ran into each other. Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to discreetly investigate. You're pregnant now, you can't afford to be worried about these things, do you understand?"

  Bai Xin nodded: "Mm-hmm, I won't worry about it. But if you find out anything, be sure to tell me, got it?"

  This is really a case of no head. Whoever you look at may be the perpetrator, but everyone has an unconvincing reason.

  The two returned to the mansion, and Yan Mo hurriedly let her sleep. After a night of insomnia, she returned home, looking at the familiar room, and the tension in Bai Xincheng's heart gradually decreased. As soon as he relaxed, drowsiness quickly arrived.

  Guarding her, after making sure she had fallen asleep, Yan Mo allowed Yin Du to bring in a basin of water and simply washed up before leaving the mansion without even changing his clothes.

  The Palace of Prince Gong

  Today Xia Lixuan took a leave of absence and stayed at home with his woman, sleeping until dawn. From the moment he woke up, the smile on the corner of his mouth never disappeared.

  Last night, he shamelessly stayed over and slept soundly for the first time in his arms with a woman, feeling an unprecedented sense of comfort and satisfaction.

  The sun was already high in the sky, and Liu Xue Lan had just woken up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a certain man's handsome face right next to hers, and she almost got a big scare before she even came to her senses.

  In an instant, all drowsiness was gone. Last night, the two of them had rarely been calm and peaceful in the same room, even sleeping on the same bed. At this moment, she was being held in a man's arms, and with just a slight movement, she could feel his body change. This situation suddenly made her feel embarrassed and at a loss for what to do, and even her own cheeks had turned red without her realizing it.

  Seeing her wake up, Xia Lixun didn't make a sound either, but secretly observed her reaction in his pretended sleep. He was still unsure if this woman truly accepted him. He was also afraid to speak out loud, as it seemed that the two of them had never had a calm and peaceful conversation before. He feared that once she opened her mouth, her bad temper would ruin the current pleasant atmosphere.

  She thought he was still asleep, so Liu Xue felt embarrassed and didn't want to wake him up. However, his hands and feet were wrapped tightly around her, and the heat from his body made her feel like she was about to overheat herself. She couldn't understand how he could sleep so soundly like this.

  To avoid awkwardness when they woke up, she blushed and gently moved her arm from around his waist, but unexpectedly touched something she shouldn't have, startling her so much that she almost let out a loud cry.

  Her heart was racing wildly, just as she was about to move the man's foot off her leg, he suddenly moved and flipped over, pinning her underneath him.

  She was shocked, and when she looked up, she saw those bright black eyes without a hint of sleepiness. Suddenly, her eyebrows furrowed in embarrassment, and she scolded somewhat irritably: "You're awake, so be it, why pretend to be asleep? Don't you feel ashamed?"

  Although the woman under him was not in a good mood, the blush on her small face made Xia Lixun's mood very good. He didn't think she would also have times when she was shy. To know that before, this woman had been shameless and brazen towards him, occasionally launching sneak attacks, doing it with an air of being perfectly justified, without ever seeing her blush.

  The current her, this appearance, ferocious and yet with a little girl's coquettishness, is really quite unexpected for him, and even thinks that her motherly tiger-like appearance at the moment is quite endearing to him.

  He was also embarrassed in his heart, but as a man, if he was embarrassed about this matter, it would be very humiliating to say it out loud. Moreover, everything that should have happened between them had already occurred, so what's there to be ashamed of?

  He leaned over her, lowering his head to gently nibble on her small red ear. Having held her all night, and now it was morning, he had been eager for a long time.

  Liu Xuelan's body stiffened at first, and then she couldn't help but tremble. She raised her hand to push him away, but Xia Lixun suddenly turned his face and covered her red, hot cheeks with his thin lips.

  "Xu'er......" His kiss was not as savage as before, but the hoarse whisper between his lips made Liu Xue Xu feel an excitement he had never felt before.

  How could Xia Lixun not be excited? Since yesterday, he had made up his mind to start, and the woman's attitude towards him had obviously softened a lot. She even let him hold her for a whole night, although it was he who had clung to her shamelessly, but at least she didn't treat him with that cold attitude anymore. Now, her face was red, and her change made his heart wildly joyful, which was truly an unprecedented joy.

  "Xiao Lan... Xiao Lan..." He whispered softly by her lips.

  At this moment, Liu Xuelan felt even more uncomfortable. What was wrong with this man? Did he need to shout so shamelessly?

  It's just corny.

  I don't know why, but Yu Hao used to call her that too, and she felt very calm about it. Although the term of endearment was so intimate, she just thought it was a friendly way to address each other, very natural. But when this man called out to her like that, she always felt awkward, perhaps because their past cat-and-mouse game had hurt people too much, so she couldn't get used to it.

  She felt the waistband loosen, her body cooled down, and she suddenly came to her senses. She quickly turned her head away and pushed him away, her face red and heart racing as she angrily shouted: "Get off me! Don't press on me, it's suffocating!"

  It had long been given to him by her, she knew what he wanted to do. But she didn't want to, at least not before they got married, she didn't want to.

  "Lan'er... I'm uncomfortable..." Xia Lixun suddenly grabbed her hand and placed it on his body, not kissing her mouth, he started to kiss other places.

  "......" Liu Xue Lan's face turned bright red, and she was so ashamed of the man that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.

  She shook off his hand, her face twisted in anger, gazing at the fiery passion bursting from his eyes. Forcing herself to ignore it, she cooled her voice and said: "If you don't want this child, then go ahead and touch me. You should know I'm not too keen on keeping him either."

  That time's coercion left her with lingering fear, she could be certain that if she hadn't spoken up, the man would have definitely used force on her again.

  At these words, Xia Lixun suddenly stopped. In the depths of his profound eyes, that fiery passion was particularly scorching, but on his face, a hint of desolation and unwillingness flashed.

  He sat up and sat on the edge of the bed, his face didn't look good, but his eyes fell on her with a greedy gaze. No matter how he looked, he had an unsatisfied and unwilling expression.

  The dead woman would never have wanted him to get rid of his son!

  Anyway, he has waited for so long, and he doesn't mind waiting a little longer. The imperial physician said that as long as she gets through the initial stage, she can still be saved. At that time, he will definitely make her suffer!

  A real man can be flexible and accommodating; for his son, he endures!

  No matter how fierce this woman is, once the marriage is settled, he will be the one who has to deal with her!

  Liu Xue Lan didn't know what was on the man's mind. If she had known, she would have definitely beaten him up without hesitation at this moment.

  "Go get me some water, I want to wash up!" She slowly closed her open collar and turned to the man on the bed, commanding, "Also, remember to bring me something to eat!"

  When she said she wanted to eat something, Xia Lixun's face finally looked a bit better. She could eat, at least for the sake of her son. He was just afraid that she wouldn't be willing to eat properly.

  He took down a cloak from the peg and had just slipped on one sleeve when a woman in the bed spoke up again.

  "Don't call out for others, but every woman in this mansion makes me sick to my stomach. I don't even know what kind of relationship you have with these women."

  "……" Xia Lihuan's forehead suddenly turned black. If it weren't for the fact that he had a good mood last night, he would have yelled by now. Is this dead woman too narrow-minded? Those were just maids in his mansion, what kind of relationship could he possibly have with them?!

  I thought he was one of those lechers who would pounce on any woman he saw?!

  Not ordering the maid around, should he go serve her instead?!

  This woman, can't she be even more excessive!

  It seems that from his sudden anger, Liu Xue Lan sensed his thoughts and continued to add coldly: "If you don't want to do as I say, it's fine. Just pretend what I said earlier was nonsense, and you don't need to take it to heart. At worst, I'll return to the Liu family soon, and I think Old Man Liu will be delighted. Having been out for so long, I'm also quite eager to go back. Since I don't like it here, there's no point in staying. Prince Feng De, isn't that right?"

  “……?! ” Xia Li Xuan's face turned black as he clenched his fists and took two steps forward to the window, towering over the woman with a suppressed growl. "Liu Xue Shan, if you dare to escape from me again, I will definitely break your legs! Are you not satisfied that everyone has been driven away? I'll do it according to your wishes, drive them all away until none are left! What else are you dissatisfied with? Better tell me once and for all!"

  This is really infuriating, this woman is obviously being arrogant because of her privileged position... no, she's obviously intentionally making things difficult.

  As for his anger, Liu Xue Lan didn't see it, her eyes lightly swept across his dark and handsome face with a look of disdain.

  "Whether or not to chase people is your business, whether or not I can get used to it is mine. You don't need to tell me so clearly, making it sound like I'm forcing you to do things. Please make it clear that I've never forced you to do anything. I'm just an illegitimate daughter who isn't recognized by my family, while you're a noble prince - how could I possibly force you to do anything? So there's no need for you to give me attitude all the time, your expression only makes me feel like you look down on me, that being with me is beneath you and an insult to your status. As a person, I may not have anything else, but at least I have some self-awareness. Since Prince Fengde doesn't welcome me, I won't stay here to see his face anymore. As for the child in my belly, if you want it, I can give birth to it - as long as Prince Fengde is willing to pay for it, I'm willing to sell it to him. If he's not willing to have this child, then I won't be able to raise it and will have to give it away."

  The man almost vomited blood.

  "Liu Xue Lan! You dare to spout nonsense again, try it!" He stretched out his arm and picked up the woman, and couldn't help but roar at her calm and serene face.

  He really wants to strangle her to death now!

  Can she be even more outrageous?

  What's he doing giving her attitude, isn't it all because she got angry at him!

  She didn't want to give birth to his son in the first place, now that she's come around to wanting to, it turns out she still wants to give away their son.

  What the hell is this?!

  Liu Xue Lan's long eyelashes trembled slightly at his roar, and she met his fiery gaze with an even colder tone. "Our relationship is improper to begin with, up until now I've been too ashamed to show my face, must I, an unmarried woman, take on the responsibility of raising a child? If I couldn't raise it myself, I'd have no choice but to give it away, would that be wrong?"

  "I'm your father! Who says our relationship is improper? Tonight, you'll follow me to the wedding ceremony! You dare say such nonsense to me again, I'll kill you!" After roaring, he couldn't bear it anymore and lowered his head to kiss her mouth.

  He now really can't wait to tear it apart!

  The clear sound of his slap still echoed, and Liu Xue Lan, although in some pain, didn't say another word. As Xia Li Xuan was venting his anger, she raised her hand to hug his neck, her sparkling eyes slightly narrowed, the corners of her eyes lifted, a hint of a smile flashed across -

  Just then, Luo Ming's voice came from outside the door ——

  "Your Highness, are you inside?"

  The sudden voice made the man who was biting someone with great force suddenly stop moving, his already ugly face became even uglier, he turned his head and shouted at the door: "If you have something to say, say it! If you have fart, let it out quickly!"

  Didn't you see him picking up women?

  Outside the door, Luo Ming's chin almost fell off. After confirming that the man who was swearing inside was his own King Wang, he came back to his senses and hastily said: "King Wang, I have brought a letter for you, please come over."

  Upon hearing this, Xia Lixuan's expression finally eased. He turned his head back and glared at the woman in his arms, "You'd better behave yourself, if you run around wildly again, I'll never let you off!"

  Liu Xuelan touched her mouth, which had been bitten by him and was slightly swollen, and glared back at him: "I'm not used to being alone here either, I want to go to Cheng Wangfu too!"

  Xia Liqun nodded silently in agreement with her request at last.

  It's better to let her go to the Wang Mansion to have fun, rather than letting her stay alone in the mansion, so that she won't get bored and come up with some tricks.

  This woman is really too much of a handful!

  And he can't even be locked up, nor can he be kept under control. Who knows if she will sneak out when I'm not around?

  Thinking that she hadn't eaten yet, Xia Lixun had no choice but to let her go and went outside the door to ask Luo Ming to bring in water for washing up and prepare food.

  Outside the door, two maidservants saw this and wondered why the prince wouldn't let them work?

  Xia Li ordered Luo Ming, then turned his head to look at the two maidservants and coldly threw out a sentence: "From now on, when you go to other courtyards to do things, without my permission, you are not allowed to appear in this courtyard."

  With that said, he 'bang' shut the door. That woman is narrow-minded, I reckon if he says a few more words to others, she'll blow her top.

  The maidservant was shocked and stood outside the door for a long time, unable to come back to her senses. What had they done wrong?

  Luoming's handling speed is quite fast, serving water and food, and it will be ready in no time.

  He was still completely unaware that from today on, he had already become a low-ranking servant who only served tea and water...

  In the room, Xia Liwen was waiting for the woman to finish dressing, already sweating profusely. He was stifling his anger, but unfortunately couldn't vent it. Unfamiliar with women's hairstyles, he still had to tidy her up neatly, most importantly, he had to carefully avoid hurting the woman's belly with his clumsy hands and feet, after all, his son was in there.

  It can be imagined that after serving for a while, he was very depressed.

  His face can't look too bad, and as soon as he makes a face, some woman will sarcastically tell him to stop, coldly telling him to leave. With that indifferent tone and attitude of not caring at all, can he leave?

  As soon as he left, this woman also ran away immediately.

  He had no choice but to control his facial expression and force a few smiles.

  Just as he thought, Liu Xue Lan was indeed intentionally making things difficult for him. Not to mention that she found his hands and feet clumsy, her cold ridicule almost humiliated a certain man into the ground.

  When washing her face, it's either that he scrubbed too hard or the water was too hot. When eating, it's either that he fed her too quickly or too much. In short, in a certain man's eyes, he is useless in a woman's heart.

  What can you do if you know a woman is being deliberately difficult?

  In order not to let his own son recognize another man as his father, all the grievances and anger can only be endured.

  Went to Cheng Wangfu, Liu Xuelan learned that Bai Xiner was still sleeping and didn't go to disturb her, but instead sat in the garden watching the scenery.

  The blood shadow stood guard at the gate like a wooden stake.

  Yin Du had left with Mo Yu early in the morning.

  The grand main hall was very quiet, even with many guards added, but it was exceptionally quiet, and not a single sound could be heard.

  Liu Xuelan sat in the garden for half a time, and Bai Xinzhi just woke up. Knowing that Liu Xuelan had been there for a long time, Bai Xinzhi hurriedly asked Xuexing to invite her into the house.

  As soon as she saw her, Liu Xue Lan couldn't help but tease her: "I'm telling you, Xin Ran, you're really too lucky. You can even sleep until you wake up naturally. I'm so jealous of you."

  Bai Xin rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the woman who had a distinctly different demeanor today, smiling: "How come you have time to come over today without even giving me a heads up in advance? Didn't Wang Gong follow you here?"

  She didn't sleep until it was almost dawn, and she also knew that it must have been Blood Shadow who blocked her at the door.

  Liu Xuelan sat down beside her with a swagger: "He sent me over."

  It's only been a day, and the woman in front of her looks radiant and full of energy, completely different from the depressed and lifeless person she was yesterday. Bai Xintong looked at her with surprise and curiosity, asking: "Have you two made up?"

  Liu Xue Lan didn't beat around the bush, after all, what was going on between her and that man was no longer a secret to Bai Xin Yan, so she frankly admitted it. "He said he would drive those women away, so I decided to give him another chance."

  She just gave him a chance, if that man didn't keep his word, she could still turn her back on him.

  Bai Xin blinked her eyes and asked with a mixture of joy and curiosity: "What about his marriage then?"

  "He said he would call off the wedding and marry me instead."

  It wasn't until now that I realized why she was different today. I suppose he must have said a lot of nice things to coax her.

  But I don't know how much of these 'good words' he can actually put into practice.

  Don't let something that gives hope but ends up disappointing happen.

  No matter what, she was still happy for Xue Lian. She was an onlooker and could see that Xue Lian's feelings towards Bai Yu Hao were only good intentions, absolutely not love. After all, towards Feng De Wang, Xue Lian had liked him for so many years, how could it be possible to forget just by saying forget?

  She now only hopes that Wang De can keep his word and stop giving this girl another blow. If there's one more blow, I'm afraid she'll really be gone...

  Two women parted for more than a month, with many things to say. It was also the time when the gloom disappeared, and both of them chatted exceptionally excitedly.

  Among them, Liu Xuelan also tentatively asked Bai Xincheng to take the lead and help her come up with some ideas and think of a way to capture the man.

  Bai Xin couldn't help but laugh: "How could I possibly accept a man's gift?"

  It's been a long time since they got married, and she has rarely seen Mo Yu blush. Mainly because Mo Yu is self-aware when doing things, although he also has a big man's chauvinism, but in private, he is extremely indulgent to her.

  Liu Xue Lan didn't believe her: "Don't try to fool me, if you can't do it, how can everything go smoothly for you?"

  Bai Xin's face turned red with rage, and she couldn't help but poke her forehead: "Please, this also depends on who you're dealing with? My husband, Wang Ye, is much better-tempered than Feng De Wang. How can you compare the two of them?"

  Liu Xue Lan pouted, her face full of grievance: "Xia's temper is indeed bad, always looking like he wants to eat people. I've known him for so long, but I've hardly ever heard him say anything nice. I don't know if my eyes are going blind or something, how could I have fallen for someone like this? He's arrogant and doesn't respect others. Now that he's being good to me, it's probably just because I'm carrying his child. Who knows what will happen after the baby is born? To be honest, I think I'm also very foolish. Even though I know he's not genuinely trying to be good to me, I still want to believe what he says. In this world, apart from Cheng Wang, all men are probably just talking nonsense. But I'm still stupidly willing to listen and trust."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng hastily grabbed her hand and looked at her with a serious expression, "Foolish girl, don't think wildly, okay? Although Prince Fengde may have a bad temper, I'm willing to believe what he says."

  These two had finally made up, and she didn't want their reconciliation to be ruined by her unintentional joke.

  Liu Xue Lan revealed a hint of sadness: "Xin Ran, don't try to persuade me either. I know what kind of person he is better than anyone else."

  Bai Xin patted her hand and said seriously, "Since you're clear about his character, you should know that with his temperament, he won't easily make promises to people. Since he made a promise to you, you should believe he can do it."

  Upon hearing this, Liu Xue Lan was taken aback for a moment. What Xin Yan said did indeed make some sense.

  That person has always been high and mighty, except for the emperor, he really hasn't seen him fear anyone. And those hidden forces of his are not even bothered to be afraid of anyone, let alone bother to speak nicely to people.

  With him, wanting a good word or a smile from him is really dependent on his mood.

  Was he really not deceiving her? Was he truly planning to give her a promise, allowing them to be together for the rest of their lives?

  She felt like she was dreaming all the time.

  She used to think that all these were just luxuries, so when these so-called luxuries arrived, she would feel a little unreal.

  To this day she still thinks he is completely untrustworthy.

  The two women chatted from noon till dusk. Since no one came to pick her up at the Feng De Wang Fu, Liu Xue Lan didn't mention going back either.

  After dark, Yan Mo had just returned to Cheng Wang Fu after being out for a whole day.

  Seeing Liu Xue Lan in their room, Yan Mo gave her only a glance before proceeding to interrogate Bai Xin Ran thoroughly, including what she ate today, how much she ate, and how many times she vomited.

  Liu Xuelan stood by and watched the couple, feeling indescribably envious.

  Look at how well other people's husbands treat them, then think about the man she ended up with. The more she compares, the more Liu Xue Lian feels like her brain is addled and her eyes are full of sand for liking that man for so many years.

  "I'm worried about my wife and children, but I see that Miss Liu is staring at us without blinking. Her deep eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly said: 'Today, the Duke of Feng will probably not be able to return to the mansion. If Miss Liu doesn't mind the simplicity of the Cheng Wang Fu, why don't you stay here for a night? I'll have someone prepare a room for you.'"

  "......?! Yu Xuelan didn't react at first. When she came to her senses, she looked up at Yan Moyu with a puzzled expression, "May I ask, King Cheng, where did King Feng De go? Didn't he say he was going to find you today?"

  Bai Xin also chimed in curiously from the side: "Right, Mo Yu, where did that guy go?"

  Two women looked at each other in confusion. Yan Mo didn't respond to Liu Xue Lan, but instead looked at Bai Xin Ran, slightly curled the corner of her lips and said: "Don't worry, he's just kneeling outside the Emperor's study room, maybe tomorrow when the Emperor is in a good mood, he'll let him come back."

  What? Bai Xin's eyes widened in surprise. She immediately turned to look at Liu Xue Lan.

  Only Liu Xue Lan also had a look of shock and confusion on her face.

  "Your Highness, do you know what crime Feng De Wang has committed?" Liu Xue Lan furrowed her brow and finally couldn't help but ask.

  Watching Liu Xue Lan suppressing her anxiety, Bai Xin Ran irritably elbowed her own husband: "What's with the mystery? If something happened just say it straight out, are you intentionally keeping us in suspense? Be careful or we'll gang up on you!"

  Can't you see that Xue Leng is also pregnant? Are you not afraid of scaring her to death?

  Yan Mo grabbed her hand, and gave her a light glare. Under Bai Xinzhi's impatient glare, he finally turned to Liu Xue Lan, his face cold and clear, saying, "Miss Liu doesn't need to worry, Prince Feng De should have this punishment."

  "Blacken me!" Bai Xindian was about to slap him. When did this man become so despicable?

  Yan Mo turned back, smiling lightly at her: "That scoundrel was greedy earlier, wanting to marry the three main and secondary consorts all at once. Now that the imperial edict for marriage has been issued, he wants to divorce? Isn't this the punishment he deserves? The Emperor only made him kneel outside the Imperial Study, which is already a very light punishment."

  Her heart sank with a thread of blackness, especially when she saw her own man speaking these words with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and she couldn't help but feel that he was gloating over her misfortune.

  Liu Xue Lan was instantly stunned on the spot, the sudden shock left her mind a complete blank. As for Yan Mo Yu's words, she almost didn't dare to believe them.

  This afternoon they were still discussing that he was telling lies to comfort her, but unexpectedly he really kept his promise.

  But will something happen?

  "Your Highness, are you certain he only knelt for one night?" Liu Xue Lan couldn't help but ask softly, worrying on his behalf.

  Upon hearing this, Yan Mo shook her head and said, "It's hard to say, it depends on the emperor's mood. Maybe we'll be kneeling for a day, or maybe we'll have to kneel for several days."

  Liu Xuelan clenched her own palm tightly. How many more days would she have to kneel?

  "I'll take my leave, Your Highness. I'm a bit tired and will go rest first." After bidding farewell to the two of them, Liu Xue Lan walked out the door.

  As soon as Liu Xue Lan walked away, Bai Xin Dye immediately asked: "Mo Yu, is what you said true? Was Prince Feng De really punished by the Emperor to kneel? Has he really decided to cancel the engagement?"

  Yan Mo nodded slightly.

  Bai Xincheng looked at him and couldn't help but worry for Liu Xuexuan: "You really have to kneel for a long time, huh?"

  Mo Ran's lips suddenly curled up, and a sly glint flashed in the depths of his eyes. "He wants to call off all the engagements at once, do you think the Emperor will let him get away with it?"

  Although he agreed to help him, he didn't take the opportunity to make him suffer a bit, and he felt it was too unfair to himself.
