Bai Aoxue headed for the Fifth Prince Mansion without delay.
She was curious about the so-called ugly prince.
If he was truly mediocre, immoral, ugly and incompetent as people said, she would find a pretext to get rid of him.
But if it was all a disguise, she should make a long-term plan. What an ambitious schemer could cheat the world and live to this point under disguise?
It was a reality check tonight.
She hid in a dark corner of the street, observing the surroundings outside the mansion.
The mansion was quiet without even a janitor at the doorstep. Bai Aoxue couldn’t imagine when it would be when she married the prince.
After confirming there was nobody in the vicinity, she jumped suddenly from the back wall into the backyard and quickly disappeared.
Entering the courtyard, she discovered that the mansion had a strange layout. Although looking broken from the outside, it was simple and elegant inside.
Jacaranda flowers bloomed everywhere in the backyard, the pale purple color embodying elegance and dignity.
The flowers had no strict requirement for soil, but they liked soft and warm sunlight. She could figure out that the man who raised them also pined for warmth.
She had the same frame of mind before, too.
Before leaving, she heard a sound of footsteps from far to near. After looking the direction, she jumped on a tall jacaranda tree, and hid in a shadow.
A man and a woman came. She could figure out they were servants in the mansion from their clothes. She strained her ears to hear their conversation.
“Hehua, what food you take today?” the male servant said to the girl.
They found a vacant place to sit down.
The girl called Hehua, assuming a sweet expression, said: “Xiaoliuzi, don’t be so anxious. I bring you some good things today. I heard from the kitchen supervisor that the prince is delighted today, so he granted them to us. I have never heard that the prince was in a good mood before. Don’t you think it’s rare?”
The got unhappy with the girl’s praise of the prince. He raised the head and said: “He is a good-for-nothing. Perhaps, after some time he will have no chance even to be a good-for-nothing.”
Bai Aoxue was shocked in her heart upon hearing what they said, feeling concerned about the safety of the prince.
He was just a useless prince, but there was still someone who was not willing to let go of him.
Then She jumped down the tree secretly and moved deeper into the backyard.
She was more surprised when discovering that the mansion was studded with hidden automatic triggers everywhere. She dodged several guardsmen easily.
“It’s time to change the guard. You may go to the supper. I’ll keep watch. His Highness is in the bamboo yard. He wants to be alone.” A middle-aged man with whiskers said loudly while patting the shoulder of a thin young man.
The young man rose to his feet instantly: “Someone intruded? Protect His Highness! Protect His Highness!!”
“Young man. You are being lazy at your post!” The adult man said while suppressing the urge to laugh.
The young man recovered himself after hearing it. He said: “Uncle Yan, please don’t tell His Highness. I only have a nap for a very short time today.”
“It doesn’t matter. Just go. It’s no wonder that you are tired out. There are more assassins in the several days.” Uncle Yan sighed while patting the young man on his shoulder.
Perhaps the young man was extremely tired. He just staggered outwards.
Bai Aoxue hid in the darkness and became more sympathetic with Jun Yeyan secretly, heading for the Bamboo Yard without letup.
On her way to the bamboo yard, she was more and more confident that the prince wasn’t a useless man.
Seeing from the layout and arrangement of traps inside the mansion, he couldn’t be a good-for-nothing.
His disguise tricks were really venerable. He was obviously an undiscovered fox.
She had no mood to enjoy the scenery and she just had a strong urge to see her fiancé - the useless, ugly and unfortunate prince as people said.
It would be better if he had any use value to her, or otherwise she had to hatch up another plan.
Thinking on her way and dodging several sentinels without being discovered, she came to the bamboo yard of Jun Yeyan.
A verdant greenery greeted her eyes, and the air was amazingly fresh.
But she didn’t see the man she wanted to see.
She slowly moved along a winding path, walking to the bamboo yard.
After a while, she saw a white mist slowly rising before. The sound of flowing water stopped her footsteps.
There was a man having a bath if she guessed right.
She was not a voyeur. If it were Jun Yeyan, her fame would be ruined.
Thinking it, she gave up the idea of seeing him.
She slowly turned back and prepared to retreat along the familiar path.
A hoarse, but strangely sexy voice arose behind her.
“Why you leave since you’ve come here? Why not sit for a while here?” The solemn and intoxicating voice arose behind her.
But she knew that the more beautiful a thing was, the more mortal the risk was.
She quickly retreated several steps when hearing the voice and said: “Hump. You already know the guest will come, but why you treat your guest without hospitality as a host?”
“Oh? Aren’t you the hostess? My wild cat...” A sarcastic voice arose behind again.
She guessed that it was exactly Jun Yeyan.
Raising her eyebrow unexpectedly, she slowly turned back and gazed at the man.
When she turned back, Bai Aoxue saw a man several steps away. The well-proportioned figure, slender, tall and strong, was the perfect embodiment of strength and beauty. The water drops flowing down slowly from the black hair were an exceptional lure. The jade mask on his face would always aroused people’s imagination because they wanted to know how he really looked like. The splendid and mysterious black robes on his body highlighted his momentum like a dark lord. Bai Aoxue cast a glance at Jun Yeyan, but quickly retraced her eyesight. This subtle movement instantly aroused Jun Yeyan’s interest. But Bai Aoxue didn’t know all this. “Foolish as I am. I don’t know when I became the hostess of the palace,” Bai Aoxue said with her hand touching her hair casually. The other hand in her sleeve was ready with the poison she made that morning. Jun Yeyan raised the brow with a smile and said:
Bai Aoxue didn’t make any reply because she believed Jun Yeyan would let her go. Bai Aoxue sneered at the last sentence Jun Yeyan said and didn’t reply. Not everything was possible also nothing was impossible. And she was the one who lived on the sideline. She would grasp even a straw at the critical moment. Another man stood beside Jun Yeyan as Bai Aoxue disappeared into the darkness. “Yan, she grew up under mistreatment in the prime minister’s family. Perhaps she has an intense hatred against her family. You are careless this time. I’m sure she wouldn’t make a sacrifice for her family. Bai Aoxue is hard to deal with.” The man was that handsome young man in Drunken Moon Restaurant. He was Nalan Youhong, the only son of Nalan family, as well as the heir to the family property. Jun Yeyan didn’t make a reply immediately, but his complacent smile revealed his state of mind.
Seeing Bai Aoxue was furious, Mumian unleashed her emotion "Wow!", Mumian burst into tears. Upon hearing the cry of Mumian, Bai Aoxue was more furious, but she didn’t stop Mumian from crying. “Miss!…They are Second Miss and Su Qianqian.” Mumian sobbed. Bai Aoxue didn’t ask why they bullied her. No matter why, they must pay a price! “Come with me. Let’s settle the score with them. They launched the challenge first. Let’s fight back.” Pulling Mumian’s hand, they strode out of the courtyard. Mumian remained silent along the way because she knew that if Bai Aoxue made the decision, nobody could stop her. She closely followed Bai Aoxue out of the courtyard. Although full of anger, Bai Aoxue was not in a hurry to find Bai Suxue. She decided to visit Su Qianqian first. In her memory, Su Qianqian was a coquettish woman. She was wicked, heartless and cruel. Bai Ao
"Whoops, I was just wondering who it is, and it turns out to be you, our First Miss. Since Mumian the servant girl was not obedient, so I let them to teach her a lesson. It seems that now our First Miss, you want to claim for your maidservant." A really soft and lovely female voice arose behind Bai Aoxue.Bai Aoxue knew that the real master had come. With she having caused such a turmoil, it would be strange if the real master Su Qianqian had still not showed up yet, Bai Aoxue thought. In fact, Bai Aoxue admired the woman Su Qianqian. Su Qianqian could reach the present status among so many concubines in obscurity, and this showed her superb capability and diplomacy skills. As for the intrigue against each other, whether being in the previous life or in the preceding world, Bai Aoxue scorned for it. "Hehe, it is really rare for you to be so smart like today Aoxue I do come for Mumian," Bai Aoxue said to Su Qian
Upon hearing what Bai Aoxue said, Cuiyu forestalled Su Qianqian by saying: "What do you mean, First Miss? Do you think I maligned Mumian?" Bai Aoxue slightly narrowed her eyes, looking at Cuiyu who showed a defiant expression. She uttered a snorting laugh.Just as everybody thought that Bai Aoxue would say something exasperating again, she hurriedly raised her hand and slapped heavily in Cuiyu's face. "When the master did not speak, the servant was in no position to speak." Finishing her words, she heavily slapped Cuiyu again on the face. "Having no concept of the master and servant, and it should be punished." Then she gave two more slaps to Cuiyu. Su Qianqian looked angrily at Bai Aoxue, only to see Bai Aoxue smiled with embarrassment and said: "Oh. I'm sorry, Auntie Su! The Cuiyu's words are really annoying. I see you are angry too, so I taught this insubordinate maid a lesson on behalf of you, Auntie Su. Yo
Bai Aoxue slowly went up to Cuiyu and put another pill into her mouth.When Cuiyu ate the pill, the sharp pain suddenly disappeared. It was as if that the experience just happened was only a dream.But Bai Aoxue said: "This can only last for one minute. One minute after, the pain will come back again. If you don't want to suffer anymore, tell me the truth.""First Miss, it was Auntie Su and Second Miss that asked me to do it! It was they that asked me to do all of the thing! First Miss, I beg you please don't torment me anymore. Kill me please." Hearing Bai Aoxue's words, Cuiyu said immediately. While after saying, she closed her eyes. Bai Aoxue listened to the words of Cuiyu, and looked at Su Qianqian without any surprise: "Since Auntie Su and the sister are so fond of the bird's nest coup, Aoxue will let you drink it enough today."Su Qianqian knew that Cuiyu was dead, but the truth of the matter had still been said
Su Qianqian had no alternative. Bai Aoxue didn’t care for her threat. She wanted to run away but didn’t dare to move her legs. Those in the courtyard all witnessed Bai Aoxue’s cold-bloodedness and cunning. Nobody expected Bai Aoxue would be a devil someday and retaliated against those who bullied her before. Now they have to accept the fact “I’m very sorry, Aoxue! I’m sorry, Mumian! Please don’t do this to me! I will make it up to you!” Su Qianqian knew it was useless to threaten Bai Aoxue She had to persuade nicely. “Don’t you think it’s too late, Auntie Su?” Bai Aoxue said, looking at Su Qianqian with a stern expression. Scarcely before Su Qianqian opened the mouth to speak, Bai Aoxue yelled, “When Bai Suxue pushed me into the pond, did you think you were sorry? When you bullied me or cheated me out my monthly allowances, did you think you were sorry? Do you think I’m a white lily which is so pure tha
Su Qianqian responded by casting a disgusting stare upon hearing what Bai Aoxue said. Her only hope was Bai Qiwei now. Looking at Su Qianqian’s slow movements, Bai Aoxue knew she was attempting to buy time and waiting for Bai Qiwei. She said with a smile, “Auntie Su. Please don’t place the hope on my father. As I said just now, even my father is here, you still need to drink up the soup. Every drop of it. If I’m not happy, I will ask sister to walk a few more steps.” “Drink it, mom. Come on! I don’t want to die!” Bai Suxue yelled at her mother anxiously. Su Qianqian was devastated. Tears flew down her beautiful face, which was now a mess of tears and traces of the bird’s nest soup. Bai Aoxue had no pity on Su Qianqian’s tears. She couldn’t pay for what she did before even she cried for thousands of times. This was merely a warning! “What's wrong? Can you make an ex
