One hundred and fifteen Blood Shadows, hit me!

  Liu Xue Lan stopped in her tracks and couldn't help but turn around and fiercely kick his big black boots.

  "Dead woman! Are you rebelling?" Xia Lixun's face turned even darker, but his hands still held the woman tightly, stabilizing her body.

  Liu Xuelan was so angry that she wanted to laugh, and couldn't help but use words to shut him up: "Are you going to yell again? Try yelling again? In the future, your son might just end up with the same temperament as you!"

  Upon hearing this, Xia Lixuan suddenly shut her mouth, only to constantly glare at her with her eyes.

  His suppressed and stifled expression was just like a wronged husband, causing Liu Xue Lan to burst out laughing. Just a moment ago she had sworn not to speak to him, but now she couldn't help but laugh as she hugged his waist, patiently rubbing her face against his chest.

  "Alright, stop making a scene, okay? If you continue like this, your elegant and refined image will be ruined."

  "......?! Xia Lixun gritted his teeth and glared at her. Dead woman, his elegant and refined image had long been ruined because of her, and she still had the nerve to say that.

  However, seeing the rare sight of his wife's tantrum, even though he knew she was just pretending to comfort him, at this moment, a certain man felt extremely satisfied in his heart. His arm wrapped around her plump body, his chin resting on top of her head, and he couldn't help but mutter: "Anyway, you have to remember, don't take my son out for a wild run, and be back within two hours at most. Otherwise, I'll definitely deal with you!"

  Liu Xuelan took a deep breath, seeing that the time was almost up, and she didn't dare to drag it out any longer. She could only lift her head, smile, and nod: "Alright alright, whatever you say goes."

  Never mind, just agree first and talk about it later, anyway she hasn't had enough fun yet, so she doesn't want to go back.

  Just as she let go of his waist and was about to leave, Xia Lixun suddenly held her face again and gave her a fiery kiss, almost making her dizzy. Finally, the man panted in her ear and said: "Remember to bring enough silver, don't wait until you're extravagant and have no silver left, I'll have to come and redeem you back."

  Liu Xue Lan furrowed her brow, and with a huff, she punched him in the chest. This man just wouldn't say nice things, obviously caring about her, but every time making her angry instead.

  ……

  In the bustling streets of Beijing, a new roast duck restaurant called "Mǎn Zuǐ Xiāng" has opened.

  Because seats had been booked in advance, Bai Xinzhi went directly to the private room upstairs and only then discovered that he was the first to arrive.

  Liu Xuelan arrived after a while.

  After having Bai Yu and Qing Hong wait outside the door, she walked in and sat down on the soft couch opposite Bai Xinzhu.

  "And you said you'd treat us, yet you're the one who's late." Bai Xincheng couldn't help but tease and mock as he saw Liu Xuelan arriving fashionably late.

  Liu Xue Lan's face turned pale and she sneered: "You're not unaware of how annoying that man is, it's like you want me to sneak out with him. You didn't see the way he looked at me, if I weren't pregnant and inconvenient, I'd have beaten him up already."

  Bai Xin Yan smiled and looked at her: "You'd better stop it, you've been married for several months, don't you think it's annoying to quarrel every day?"

  Liu Xue Lan smiled and stopped talking, but it wasn't hard to see the natural happiness that flowed out on her face.

  Bai Xinzhi knew that she was really living a happy life now. Feng De Wang, although he had a bad temper and was more overbearing than ordinary men, was really good to Liu Xue Lian, better than they had imagined before.

  Maybe they are used to bickering with each other, so everyone else is also used to it.

  Every couple has their own way of getting along, although the relationship between Xue Lian and Feng De Wang is tongue-tied, who dares to say they are not loving, who dares to say they are not enviable?

  In the private room, two low tables had been arranged in advance. Bai Xinyan and Liu Xuelan sat together at one table, while Yin Du and Xueying sat at the other. This was Bai Xinyan's arrangement, mainly because she and Xuelan hadn't gotten together for a long time and had a lot to talk about. As Yin Du and Xueying rarely went out together, in order not to disturb the two women's conversation, they asked the staff to add another table in the private room. Fortunately, the room was quite spacious, so having two tables didn't feel cramped.

  Everyone arrived, and a waiter came in to let them order. Bai Xiner and Liu Xuelan naturally ordered what they loved to eat and wanted to eat without hesitation. At the other table, Yin Du was almost entirely responsible for ordering, adhering to the principle of spending Wang's silver lavishly.

  Two tables of people eating and chatting separately, yet all very joyful.

  Looking at Bai Xinzhen's belly, which was one circle bigger than her own, Liu Xuelan asked casually while gnawing on a duck neck: "Xinzhen, won't your belly be too big? I remember you're not as far along as me, how come your belly is so much bigger than mine, could it be that you're having twins?" She wasn't lying at all, Xinzhen's belly was indeed one circle bigger than hers, and in just half a month, it had grown even more, the change was too obvious.

  At these words, Bai Xin's action of biting the duck leg suddenly froze: "......"

  Twins?

  Will you?

  Is it really possible that she's pregnant with twins? But if so, shouldn't Imperial Physician Zhang be able to diagnose it? Why has he never mentioned it before?

  Indeed, she also found herself much fatter than Xuelan... it seemed that gaining weight in just over five months was somewhat abnormal.

  Moreover, every time she felt fetal movement, it seemed very strange, as if her belly was particularly lively, and she thought the child was being naughty and dancing with joy...

  Emma, you're not actually twins, are you?

  No, this question should be asked to Dr. Zhang instead. If she really is having twins, then she needs to be careful. In this era, giving birth to one child already carries risks, let alone two at the same time. This is simply a test of her endurance!

  The person at the next table furrowed his brow, casting a sideways glance at Liu Xue's back, silently cursing "I'm in trouble!"

  He said that unless absolutely necessary, the queen must not be informed of this matter. He said that Zhang Yuanyi had told him that since it was the queen's first pregnancy, to avoid her being overly anxious, it would be best not to inform her and wait until the time of delivery to decide what to do.

  He suddenly coughed and said, "Cough! Princess Wang, what Princess Wang De said makes sense, but in my humble opinion, it doesn't quite look like she's having twins. Perhaps it's just that your appetite has been better over the past two months and your body has improved, so you feel a bit heavier than usual."

  Bai Xin blinked and heard Yin Du's voice, gradually regaining her composure. She looked at him: "Is that so?"

  Is she really eating too much?

  But she didn't eat too much! At most, she just ate more supplements.

  Is it because they were over-supplemented, so the kids look gigantic?

  But others like Xue Lan are also being pampered, and they don't have a huge belly like hers!

  Liu Xue Lan was too busy savoring the delicious food in front of her to notice Bai Xin Yan's brief distraction. It wasn't until she heard Yin Du speak that she looked up from her meal, nodding in agreement: "Mmm-hmm, Xin Yan, don't mind me, I was just joking. Maybe it's because you usually eat a lot, so your belly looks bigger. But to be honest, if you really gave birth to twins, I'm sure Cheng Wang would be even more delighted."

  Bai Xinlan couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth as she glanced at Liu Xuelan's big appetite. "......?!!"

  Who can eat more than whom?

  She stared at the woman opposite her, who looked like a foodie...

  Are you really going to have two?

  Yes, I'm sure Mo Yu is even happier...

  After understanding, Bai Xinzhen wasn't shocked anymore. In fact, how many children she had was not up to her to decide, even if she gave birth to ten or eight, others would still praise her husband's ability and say it had nothing to do with the woman.

  Besides, whether they have many children or few is between her and Mo Yu, what's there to be entangled about?

  Watching Liu Xue Lan eating with a mouthful of oil and still chattering, she couldn't help but playfully pick up a roasted duck wing and stuff it into Liu Xue Lan's mouth. "Hurry up and eat. Honestly, you don't even have any table manners, doesn't your husband, Feng De Wang, ever scold you?"

  Her words successfully diverted the topic, and Liu Xuelan's mouth was stuffed full, speaking somewhat unclearly.

  "He wouldn't dare to control me, he'd be delighted if I ate more like a pig every day and gave birth to a big fat son for him."

  "Hehe~" Bai Xincheng couldn't help but laugh and tease, "He's always thinking about his son, what if you have a daughter?"

  "That bastard said if this child isn't a daughter, I'll have to keep giving birth until I give him a son."

  "Pffft!" Bai Xincheng almost spat out what he was eating all over the table. This was indeed quite like that guy's style!

  Isn't it too much to ask?

  Biologically speaking, whether a child is born male or female is determined by the man's chromosomes. If he doesn't have any sons, isn't that Snowy's fault?

  Fortunately, Mo Yu had never spoken to her like that before. If he did, she would definitely spit water at his face.

  Yin Du was originally still tense, but as soon as he saw the two women change to another topic, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

  He turned around, and suddenly found that Blood Shadow was staring at him without blinking. He reacted extremely quickly, revealing a 'heh heh' smile, and leaned his face close to Blood Shadow's ear, asking in a low voice: "Blood Shadow, how about we have a kid too?"

  Child?

  His body stiffened slightly, and his eyes suddenly became dull and unfocused.

  Seeing this, the smile on Yin Du's face stiffened for a moment, and then he said in a low voice: "If you don't want children, we can wait for a while."

  Xue Ying's expression stiffened again, her gaze cold as she turned to look at him. After a moment, her thin red lips parted slightly: "Do you like children?"

  This is obviously a very simple question, but at this moment, Yin Du felt that this question was difficult to answer.

  He was an orphan since childhood, and he had never known what family affection was. What he yearned for most was to have a home. Now that he has one, he is not satisfied at all. Every day, following the queen's back, watching them about to become parents, the kind of happiness and beauty of joy made him feel envious.

  But he knew these things wouldn't come in a hurry.

  He wasn't unaware of Xue Ying's past, it was precisely because he knew that he didn't dare to have any expectations. She hadn't even truly accepted him, so how could she accept their child?

  He pursed his thin lips, stiffly forcing a smile, and raised his hand, with some rough palms stroking the slightly cool cheek of Blood Shadow, saying somewhat indifferently: "Don't care if I like it or not, as long as you like it, then give birth to it, if you don't like it, then don't give birth to it."

  She is like this, really making him unable to ask for anything from her. What he wants most now is that his shadow can appear in her eyes, and then she can hold him in her heart. He doesn't need her to say many words, but at least she can show her joys and sorrows in front of him, rather than being cold and icy all her life.

  "Hmm." Xue Ying responded lightly. Turning her head, she ate her food with an expressionless face.

  Just as Yin Du was comforting himself with bitter self-talk, a woman's very soft and gentle voice suddenly came from beside his ear.

  "I was born."

  Yin Du's hand, which was holding chopsticks, suddenly stiffened, and the pair of chopsticks clattered to the ground.

  His mouth agape, he was shocked and couldn't believe it, slowly turning his head, unsure if what he had just heard was an auditory hallucination.

  "Blood Shadow, say it again... what did you just say?"

  Xue Ying nodded slightly, as if he had made up his mind about something. His profile looked somewhat cold and hard. "I'm alive."

  She turned her head and her gaze swept towards Bai Xinzhen's rounded belly, a strange expression flashing across the bottom of her clear eyes...

  "Blood Shadow!" Yin Du suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

  Bai Xinzhen and Liu Xuelan were both startled by his sudden voice, the two of them quickly turned their heads to look over, and instantly couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

  In front of them, Yin Du hugged Xue Ying and kissed her unscrupulously...

  "Cough cough!" The two women almost spat out what was in their mouths. This is a bit too "intense", isn't it?

  "Xīn rǎn, you say we should change places and give this place to the two of them?" Liu Xue Lan covered her mouth with a mischievous smile, as if she had seen something rare and precious. Although she felt embarrassed, she couldn't help but keep glancing at them with her eyes.

  Bai Xin was stimulated for a moment before quickly regaining her composure. Fortunately, she hadn't seen many couples kissing before crossing over, so at most she just admired Yin Du's courage.

  Yin Du didn't get too 'carried away', seemingly also realizing they were being watched, after releasing Xue Ying, his ears turned bright red, and he didn't dare glance over at Bai Xin and the others.

  Xue Ying had his head lowered and half of his body was blocked by Yin Du, so no expression could be seen.

  It's clear that Yin Du is embarrassed, and Bai Xinzhen also doesn't dare to tease him in front of Liu Xuelan, so he can only focus on eating.

  Just then, while eating, he suddenly said a sentence: "I seem to see an inn opposite..."

  Upon hearing this, Yin Du's ears turned even redder, almost as if they were about to bleed.

  Just now he was indeed too excited. If it weren't for them being there, he really wanted to take the Blood Shadow back...

  His arm wrapped around Xue Ying's waist, he awkwardly lowered his eyes, and suddenly saw that Xue Ying's ears were also red...

  Just then, someone outside the door suddenly spoke up, easing the awkwardness and embarrassment in the room.

  Just as Yin Du let out a sigh of relief, thinking that the embarrassing incident was almost over, Bai Yu suddenly walked in from outside the door and said respectfully to Liu Xue Lan: "Your Highness, there is someone outside who claims to be a servant of the Duke's mansion, sent by Madame Bai to invite Your Highness to go to 'Jinzi Yihao Fang'."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng raised his head, somewhat astonished. "Is this the 'Golden Room Number One' here?"

  Bai Yu nodded slightly and replied, "As Princess Hui Cheng said, yes."

  At the words, before Bai Xincheng could stand up, Blood Shadow was the first to get up from the soft cushion, walking towards Bai Xincheng with a cold expression.

  Bai Xin's eyes narrowed slightly as she pressed her lips together. She hadn't expected Zhang Shi to show up in a place like this either. Logically speaking, as someone from the White Manor with its strict household rules, she should be staying indoors all day, so how did she end up in a bustling place like "Roast Duck Restaurant"?

  Ke Zhang had never been in conflict with her before and didn't have any contradictions with her either. However, she couldn't find a reason to refuse to see her.

  "Your Highness, I think it's unnecessary for you to bother. If they have something to discuss with you, they can go to the Prince's residence. As you are outside now, there may be some inconvenience, so I think it's better to be cautious." Yin Du said seriously and respectfully, appearing out of nowhere.

  She nodded thoughtfully and said, "Indeed."

  She narrowed her eyes and looked at Bai Yu: "Bai Yu, trouble you to tell the people of the White House that this king's consort is here making friends and it's not convenient for me to see her. If she has something, she can go to Cheng Wang Fu to see me."

  She almost forgot that with her current status, Madame Bai shouldn't have let her come over, but rather should have come to see her herself!

  What is Zhang playing? Doesn't she usually understand these rules with her dignified and virtuous demeanor?

  "Yes, I will go and reply to the princess." Bai Yu responded and retreated.

  Due to this sudden situation, the atmosphere that followed was somewhat changed. Yin Du and Xue Ying, who were extremely taciturn, stopped eating and stood on either side of Bai Xin's body.

  Bai Xinzhi turned his head to look left and right, and couldn't help but laugh: "You two are a bit too exaggerated, aren't you? Hurry up and sit back down, don't waste food."

  "Your Highness, I think we should head back," Yin Du suggested with a serious expression. Anything related to the princess was not something they dared to be careless about; if anything went wrong, even having a hundred lives would not be enough for them to atone for their mistake before the Emperor and the Prince.

  Bai Xin shook his head: "It's okay, you two don't have to be so tense either. I've never had any conflicts with Mrs. Bai, and I believe she won't do anything out of line. Even if there's something wrong, I won't leave this room today."

  If anyone really wants to harm her, what's meant to be will always come, but at least she won't be led by the nose. She'd like to see who'll walk into their room today!

  Upon hearing this, Yin Du also didn't want to say anything more. He knew that the princess rarely came out and if she were to return like this, it would indeed be somewhat disappointing. Since the princess said she wouldn't leave the house, then it was much easier.

  Yin Du and Xue Ying didn't seem to have any intention of eating, so Bai Xinzhi beckoned to Yin Du: "Go bring your table over, put the two tables together, don't look like you're facing a great enemy. We're here to enjoy ourselves, don't ruin your own mood."

  Liu Xuelan nodded in agreement on the side: "Right, right, Xin Ran is right, today I have brought enough silver, and everyone will eat well."

  "......?!". Yin Du's mouth twitched with rage. This Princess Wang De is really a family-destroyer, does Wang De know?

  However, he thought that Bai Xindye's opinion was also feasible. Today's main goal was to accompany the princess and have fun, if they ruined the princess's mood, they would inevitably face their father's cold eyes when they returned home.

  Then he lifted his foot and really assembled the table as Bai Xinzhen had said.

  Just as Yin and Du were about to sit down with Blood Shadow, Bai Yu walked in from outside the gate.

  "I have been entrusted by Her Highness the Princess to inform you that Madame Bai is outside and requests an audience with Your Majesty."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng raised an eyebrow, and a complex glint flashed across the bottom of his eyes.

  "Please let her in."

  Liu Xue Lan suddenly felt a bit uneasy. Who was this Bai Fu Ren, she was still clear about that, she was the mother of Yu Hao, if it wasn't for the surname Xia's ruthless move to take her away, now she would be her mother-in-law.

  Her own disappearance had caused the White House to lose a lot of face, and now she was facing the people from the White House, and it was even more embarrassing that she almost became her mother-in-law.

  "Infatuated... me..." Shouldn't you avoid it a bit?

  Bai Xin only then saw Liu Xue Lan's awkward expression, and hastily laughed: "It's nothing, you are now the dignified Princess of Feng De, no one dares to treat you poorly. Moreover, Yu Hao is doing very well now, if you hadn't married into the White family, the people of the White family would all be grateful to you."

  Although her words sounded playful and joking, they were also true.

  Nowadays, Xue Leng is also the emperor's daughter-in-law. With her belly, even those princesses and imperial concubines have to give way when they see her. Zhang Shi is just a secondary wife, and she is gentle and kind by nature. If she had the guts, I'm sure she wouldn't dare do anything to Xue Leng.

  Bai Yu quickly invited Zhang's family in.

  Seeing Liu Xue Lan also present, Zhang's expression clearly stiffened for a moment, but her face didn't show too much of a reaction.

  "The commoner woman pays respects to Princess Sohye and Princess Uisun."

  Liu Xuelan didn't make a sound, after all, she was still a bit embarrassed in her heart.

  Bai Xin smiled and looked at her: "Madam Bai, please get up. We're outdoors, so it's fine to be casual, no need for such formalities."

  "Thank you, Princess." Zhang Shi smiled gently and stood up.

  "I heard that Madam Bai is looking for me, I don't know what it's about?" White Xinran asked straightforwardly, but her eyes were fixed on Zhang Shi's every move.

  Perhaps it was because there were more people in the house, and Yin Du and Xue Ying stood behind Bai Xinduan with a serious and cold expression, Zhang seemed a bit tense, her fingers constantly twisting the silk handkerchief in her hand. Seeing Bai Xinduan's gaze staring straight at her, she hurriedly smiled warmly:

  "It's been a while since I've seen Princess Cheng, today I happened to come out and heard that Princess Cheng is also here, so I wanted to chat with Princess Cheng, but didn't expect Princess Cheng was having a gathering of friends, I'm afraid I've disturbed you, please don't blame me."

  Bai Xin's eyes narrowed slightly as she smiled indifferently: "Madam Bai is indeed thoughtful. It's better to meet by chance than to gather intentionally, so since we've met here today, why don't Madam Bai dine with me? I haven't seen Madam Bai for quite some time since the last poisoning incident, I wonder if Madam Bai's body has recovered and the poison has been fully dispelled?"

  Zhang's expression was somewhat unnatural, his eyes cast downward, as if evading, not daring to make eye contact with Bai Xincheng.

  "Thanks to the Crown Prince and Princess's concern, my wife is no longer in danger. We really owe it to the Crown Prince and Princess for their help, our family was able to escape the danger, the great kindness of the Crown Prince and Princess, I will never forget for the rest of my life."

  She nodded slightly and said with a deep meaning: "That's good."

  Upon hearing this, Zhang lowered her head, and her hands clenched the silk handkerchief even tighter.

  She stood still, although Bai Xinzhen had agreed that she could have dinner with them, but she seemed even more awkward and uneasy, as if she couldn't relax at all, yet she didn't say anything about leaving. The atmosphere was clearly becoming embarrassing, but there was no sign of her wanting to leave.

  "Madam Bai, what are you doing standing? Please sit down." White Xin Yan reminded with a kind intention, smiling warmly and graciously.

  Zhang held her handkerchief tightly, and after a long time, she finally lifted her head and smiled at her: "No. Since Princess Cheng and Princess Fengde are here to dine, I won't bother them anymore."

  She bowed to the two of them and turned around ready to leave.

  Bai Xin stopped and called out with narrowed eyes: "Mrs. Bai, are you not afraid that you won't be able to make up for this if you leave like this?"

  Zhang's back stiffened noticeably, and his face also turned pale.

  Bai Xin signaled to Yin Du with a glance, and Yin Du quickly walked to the door. His massive body of over 1.8 meters instantly blocked the entrance.

  Seeing this, Zhang's face became even more pale and bloodless. Her gentle face had a pair of beautiful eyes that stared at Bai Xintie with surprise and astonishment.

  In this scene, Bai Xin naturally didn't have the appetite to eat anything else. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and used the handkerchief handed over by Xue Ying to wipe his mouth and then wipe his hands. Only then did he formally look at Zhang Shi, his eyes suddenly becoming cold and stern.

  "Madam Bai, I, the princess, have always thought that I was not unfair to you. Although I dislike people from the White family, I still gave you a lot of face and convenience. Considering White Yu Hao's sake, our prince even put aside the harm caused by the White House to me in the past and provided rescue when you were poisoned. I think I have been quite special to you, and I never thought that I owed anything to the White family. But now, you seem to be hiding something, so I'd like to ask Madam Bai - are you feeling guilty?"

  Upon hearing this, Zhang's expression became even more shocked. Under Bai Xincheng's coercion and icy stare, her body trembled, and she suddenly knelt down in front of him.

  "I beg Your Highness to forgive me, I really didn't mean it, I feel guilty in my heart and I also think I owe you an apology."

  Bai Xin's hand shot up, striking her silent. In a cold voice, she said: "You know you owe an apology to the princess, so why don't you hurry up and tell the truth? Tell me, what business do you have with the princess? Who sent you to find the princess?"

  When Zhang's family sent someone to call her over, she was already suspicious that something was fishy. Zhang had always been cautious and careful in front of her, not even daring to breathe loudly, but this time, he actually dared to let her go to his place. The setup was completely beyond what she could have come up with on her own.

  If no one had given Zhang's instructions, based on Zhang's identity, she wouldn't have dared to say let her pass.

  Secondly, once a person has a guilty conscience, they will feel uneasy. Zhang's expression and demeanor were vastly different from the warm, polite, and composed manner she had shown in the past. If there was no ghost, that would be the strange thing!

  When Zhang heard Bai Xinzhi's words, she lowered her head and tears fell to the ground as she sobbed:

  "The queen, the commoner was also forced, the commoner is grateful to the queen in her heart, and the commoner does not want to harm the queen either..."

  "Tell me, who exactly forced you to come find me, the queen, and what is this all about?" Bai Xindai's tone had completely turned cold, seemingly without much patience to listen to her explanation.

  ……

  Yin Du went to another room and knocked out all the followers brought by He Lan, then directly dragged He Lan into the room where Bai Xintong was. Seeing Zhang Shi kneeling on the ground crying, He Lan suddenly became angry.

  She was released by Yin Du, she didn't even glance at the crowd, and walked directly to Zhang's side, suddenly raising her hand.

  "Slap!" A loud slap landed on Zhang's face, instantly tilting her head to the side, and a red handprint quickly appeared on her pale face.

  "You're a worthless woman! Can't even get things done, what's the point of keeping you? Our White family doesn't need someone like you who only knows how to take advantage of us! From today on, I'll make sure Han Qing divorces you, you worthless woman, from now on, the farther away you are from me, the better!"

  He Lan glared with her old eyes and scolded Zhang directly.

  Just as her scolding had just fallen, something suddenly rushed towards her face. Before she could react, she let out a loud "ah" and her old body suddenly flew out from in front of Zhang's face with a thud, landing on her buttocks, causing her to cry out in pain instantly.

  "Oh no!"

  Covering her own buttocks, she didn't even have the strength to crawl up. When looking at the person walking towards her, a look of shock suddenly appeared on her old face.

  "You... you murderous demoness... don't come any closer!"

  A flash of blood shadow, a sharp small knife suddenly appeared in her hand, the cold and hard face brought a chill, step by step approaching her.

  "Blood Shadow!" Bai Xincheng hastily called out, at the same time quickly giving Yin Du a signal with his eyes.

  Yin Du reached out and grabbed her wrist: "Blood Shadow, wait."

  Xue Ying stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Bai Xindian with an expressionless face, saying coldly: "Princess, the king has ordered that if there is anyone who intends to harm you, they can be killed first and reported later."

  "......?!" Bai Xin's mouth twitched and he suddenly had a black line on his head. It seemed like it had been a long time since he'd heard that phrase...

  She let out a sigh and coldly gazed at He Lan: "Leave her life for now, capture her back and hand her over to the prince, let the prince deal with her."

  Upon hearing this, He Lan cursed: "You unfilial son, you dare to allow your subordinates to commit violence against your own grandmother and even want to kill her! You wicked beast, you will be struck by thunder!"

  Bai Xin furrowed her brow. It had been a while since she'd seen this old woman, and not only hadn't her temper improved in the slightest, but it seemed to have grown even worse?

  She got up from the soft cushion and walked slowly to Blood Shadow's side, standing opposite He Lan. Her eyes were cold as she stared at that old face which was still arrogant even when death was approaching.

  "Hey, Helan, want to make a bet? Let's see if I can take you down today and get struck by lightning?" This old thing is simply too hateful. She didn't provoke her, but she kept scolding her again and again. Damn it, could it be that in her past life, she dug up her grave, and that's why she's being treated like this in this life?

  Scolding her was one thing, but actually threatening and coercing Zhang's wife into taking her out, then looking for an opportunity to get rid of her child!

  What can be tolerated and what cannot be tolerated, scolding her is okay, hurting her is okay, but if you want to hurt her flesh and blood, damn it, that's not allowed!

  "You dare to move me? Try it!" He Lan's neck was stiff, with a fierce and ruthless look on her face. The wrinkles on her old face twitched, making her look like a witch descending upon the scene. Even though she was dressed in silk and satin, she couldn't hide the ferocity on her face. "Today, you dare to move me, and from now on, everyone in Shu Xia will know about your heinous crimes! You even dare to kill your own grandmother, you're not human!"

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xincheng clenched his fist at his side. If he wasn't afraid of accidentally hurting the child with a large movement, he would have really liked to personally tear apart that foul mouth that only knew how to spout nonsense.

  "Blood Shadow, take her down!" She gave the order with a cold glint in her half-lidded eyes. "Remember, don't kill her, leave her one breath!"

  If she doesn't end up crippled for life today, then she would have lived in vain for two lifetimes!

  "It is." Blood Shadow's hand shook, and the small knife in his hand suddenly disappeared. He walked up with empty hands and bare fists.

  A loud wail, like the sound of a pig being slaughtered, suddenly came from a small package room, sending chills down people's spines even from a distance.

  Today, the "Mouthful of Fragrant Roast Duck Restaurant" opened for business. The customer flow was already heavy, and then a series of mournful wails suddenly attracted many curious people to gather at the door of the private room. However, because Bai Yu, Qing Hong, and Yin Du were blocking the way outside, just Yin Du's head alone made it impossible to see what was going on inside. All that could be heard was the wailing sound from inside, which was particularly jarring and particularly mournful.

  Soon, the crowd outside the private room will attract the shopkeeper over.

  Judging from the situation, the shopkeeper hastily came forward to greet and disperse the surrounding customers. Others didn't know who was inside, but he did.

  This suite was booked by someone from the Wangfu two days ago. Are these ordinary people daring to offend them?

  And today there are two pregnant women, from Wangfu of Fengde, who is pregnant, need I ask?

  The crowd gradually dispersed, mainly because they had listened for half a day and couldn't see anything. Even if someone with a big enough nerve wanted to rush in and take a look, the man standing at the door was too serious and too cold, with a half-person-high long sword in his arms. Who would dare to enter without risking their life?

  The noisy sound outside has stopped, the sound of beating people inside has also stopped, and even the miserable pig-killing sound from just now has stopped.

  In the private room, Bai Xinzhu sat back on the soft cushion and couldn't help but rub her forehead. Running into such an old woman was really annoying to death. But somehow, she felt it wasn't quite right to kill her. The old woman had said one thing that reminded her - no matter what, she was still a member of the Bai family.

  If she really gets killed, it will be her who is scolded by the world in the end. This old woman's death would indeed be a clean and simple solution, but it would bring many negative consequences to her.

  If she didn't kill him, she would never be at peace.

  She even wants to harm her own child, can such a person be allowed to stay?

  If it were someone else, she could still persuade herself to give the other person a chance, maybe they would change. But this He Lan Shi, she can guarantee with her life that even if dogs changed their habit of eating feces, she wouldn't be able to change her mind about hating herself!

  On the ground, He Lan had been knocked unconscious by Xue Ying's punch a long time ago. His face was bruised and swollen with purple and blue marks all over, blood flowing from his mouth and nose, and it was unknown whether he was injured elsewhere on his body.

  "Xue Ying, go fetch a bucket of water and splash her awake." Bai Xintian said to Xue Ying, supporting her forehead.

  Xue Ying didn't say a word and walked straight out of the door.

  Liu Xuelan was quite satisfied. This violent scene was comparable to when she had fought with people at the Liu Manor. In the past, considering Bai Yuhao's face, she had been somewhat wary of this old woman, so she had endured her insults. Now that she was married into the Fengde Wang Manor, she naturally wouldn't care about someone like her anymore.

  What's more, this old woman actually wanted to harm Xin Yan's child. Not killing her with a knife was really letting her off easy!

  Although what Zhang said is not entirely believable, this old lady came in and started hitting Zhang, her intentions are already self-evident.

  I wonder how King Xiang would feel if he knew someone wanted to harm his son?

  She is now waiting for the old lady's next move!

  Zhang knelt on the ground with her head hung low, and even when He Lan was hit, she didn't lift her head. Her hands, which were placed on her legs, were clenched tightly, it's unclear whether she had any intention of going forward to punch a few times.

  Her expression and movements, Bai Xin naturally did not neglect, it should be said that from the beginning of He Lan's beating, her attention was all on Zhang Shi.

  What kind of mentality can make Zhang so indifferent?

  In fact, everyone knew it in their hearts, and she wouldn't go ask Zhang about his feelings either.

  Xue Ying quickly brought in a bucket of water and poured it directly onto He Lan's body.

  "Cough, cough, cough..." A splash of cold water washed away the blood from He Lan's nose and mouth. Perhaps it was the water that had entered her nostrils, causing her to shudder and cough uncontrollably. The sound of her coughing was weak, as if she might stop breathing at any moment.

  The red hairpin on her head had long been lost, and at this moment, He Lan's grayish-white hair was disheveled and scattered over her shoulders. The silk fabric of her clothes was soaked in cold water, clinging to her body, revealing its bloated ugliness. She looked like a defeated old demon, waiting to be captured at any moment.

  "Helan, are you dead or not? If not, then answer the queen's words." Bai Xincheng coldly gazed at her as she woke up.

  Her cold expression and chilling tone made Hulan's eyes twitch with anger, making her want to pounce over and bite her flesh.

  "You... you beast..." He Lan's body was curled up, her face twisted in a grimace. Although she was old, even if the Blood Shadow had avoided vital spots when striking, it was still enough to make her feel like she was going to die from the pain. She spoke as if she were about to run out of breath.

  Bai Xin withdrew her gaze, and even a glance at her made her feel piercing. It is said that when a person is about to die, their words are also kind, but this old woman really had no awareness at all. She had the heart to spare her life, but she didn't give her the opportunity.

  Just as Bai Xin was pondering what to do with the old woman, a sudden cry of surprise from Liu Xue Lan rang out.

  "Be careful, beware —"

  "Ah——" A dark figure pounced over, Bai Xincheng was caught off guard, his body involuntarily falling backwards.

  Liu Xuelan pounced on He Lan's body and hugged her tightly.

  He Lan suddenly crawled up from the ground and rushed towards Bai Xinyan. This scene was unexpected by everyone, after all, the person who was lying on the ground motionless like a dead pig just now, who knew she would be full of energy again, even Blood Shadow didn't react in time, and fortunately Liu Xueyan turned her head to see this sudden scene, but unfortunately her body was not as good as before, clumsy and slow for a moment, could only pounce on He Lan's back and hug her.

  "You wicked beast, I'll strangle you to death today!" He Lan's face twisted in a fierce grimace as she pounced on Bai Xincheng, her hands outstretched like a witch.

  Digression

  Girls, be gentle when you spit, the pot lid is gone, and Lianzi still has to go buy a pot lid to save the situation... crawling away with a guilty conscience.
