Upon hearing what Bai Suxue said, Lvwu, who had only one breath left, gazed at Bai Suxue with strong hatred. She yelled: “You will not die a natural death! I’ll retaliate against you even if I’m dead! I’m loyal to you all the time and have served you for so many years! You will not die a natural death!”
Bai Suxue was even more furious when hearing Lvwu’s words. She said: “Why are you still motionless? Take her away. I don’t want her to bring the bad luck to my room.”
Bai Aoxue, however, didn’t know what happened in Bai Suxue’s courtyard.
Bai Aoxue stared blankly into a copper mirror reflected a face which was almost the same as the face before she was teleported into this world.
She was granted the title of Alluring Sura in the preceding world because of her beauty when she was carrying out the tasks.
Although not as mature in the preceding world, the enchanting face had a 70 percent similarity with her expression in that world. The piercing eyebrows, the stubborn and cold phoenix eyes and the slightly-pressed lips were the same as that in the preceding world, who was called Bai Aoxue, the Alluring Sura, and who killed numerous people.
When Bai Aoxue was lost in thought, Bai Suxue and her entourage came into the courtyard.
“Bai Aoxue, you, the bitch. Come out,” Bai Suxue yelled as if she were a majestic princess. She stood in the courtyard, putting on a domineering air.
Upon hearing the uproar, Bai Aoxue slightly raised her eyebrows. She said: “She comes really quickly. The dinner begins.”
Mumian was concerned all the time, so when she found Bai Suxue came here, she pulled at Bai Aoxue and said: “Miss, don’t go outside. She will beat you!”
Contrary with Mumian who was worried, Bai Aoxue slowly stepped forward to the door. She said: “Mumian. Don’t you forget what I said just now. I’ll rely on and fear nobody from today onwards. A merely Bai Suxue cannot throw me into confusion. Remember it, Mumian. If you still want to be with me together in the late days, you have to trust me absolutely.”
The supercilious words came out from Bai Aoxue’s mouth, bearing the ability to convince people.
Mumian didn’t prevent her again upon hearing what Bai Aoxue said. She followed behind Bai Aoxue, and they walked outside the house.
After walking out of the door, Bai Aoxue saw Bai Suxue, standing there like a moon surrounded by a myriad of stars.
Bai Aoxue looked sideways at her younger sister in disgust. She said coldly: “I don’t know why you are here, sister. Don’t you forget I’m still uncomfortable since I fell into the pond? Do you come here specially to visit me?”
Bai Suxue changed the color on her face upon hearing what Bai Aoxue said, looking at her elder sister in surprise.
She was amazed by what Bai Aoxue said, keeping wondering what she really meant.
“There is a misunderstanding between us, sister. My maidservant Lvwu was injured in your courtyard. She told me you bullied her for no reasons. So, I come over to see what happened.” Bai Suxue said. She buried the face in her hands, feigning an innocent smile.
Looking at Bai Suxue’s affected expression, Bai Aoxue said: “I simply helped you discipline a maidservant. A mere flunkey dared to forget her own identity and defy a master. I know you are skillful in training your maidservants. But I don’t know what was wrong with Lvwu. She seemed to forget her status. Tell me, my sister, can a dog be the master? Can a turtledove take over the nest of a magpie?”
Bai Aoxue’s words were pungent. Bai Suxue, who had feigned a smiling expression just now, changed the color on her face.
She didn’t envision that Bai Aoxue, who was cowardly when getting bullied before, could become so sharp-tongued. Everybody in presence knew that Bai Aoxue was scolding Bai Suxue in a roundabout way. She was hinting that as the daughter given birth by the concubine of the prime minister, Bai Suxue had regarded herself as the daughter of the official wife.
People looked at Bai Aoxue and then Bai Suxue, thinking that Bai Aoxue was right.
As the daughter given birth by the official wife of the prime minister, Bai Aoxue had no other maidservants except Mumian. But Bai Suxue, given birth by the concubine, was surrounded by a multitude of maidservants.
Looking at Bai Suxue’s face which changed color from time to time, Bai Aoxue feigned a puzzled expression. She said: “Why do you look so pale, my sister? Am I wrong? I think she is only a lowly maidservant and you won’t get angry. It turns out I’m wrong. Is it true that I have to know who is the master before beating her dog? But it’s really a crazy dog.”
“You are right, my sister. It’s indeed necessary to have Lvwu disciplined. I’m indebted to you this time. Since you have just recuperated from an illness, please have more rest. I’ll leave at first and I’ll come to see you in several days.” Putting on a false smile, Bai Suxue said to her sister. Her mouth was speaking good words but her eyes had cut her sister to pieces.
Ignoring Bai Suxue’s eyesight, Bai Aoxue picked up the topic. She said: “Ah, hearing you say this, I really have a headache now. Did I bump into something after falling into the pond somehow? It is really strange these days. I should have fallen into the pond somehow or other. But it let me figure out many things. So it may be a good thing to fall into the pond.”
What Bai Aoxue said almost drove Bai Suxue to an internal wound out of anger. Contrary to the arrogant air when she came, Bai Suxue, accompanied by the entourage, quickly went out of Bai Aoxue’s courtyard resentfully and frustratedly.
Seeing her furious expression, Bai Aoxue murmured: “Humph. The best is yet to come. You want to look for help from Bai Qiwei, don’t you? Let’s see who is craftier, Bai Qiwei or I.”
Paying no attention to Mumian who was dumfounded all the time, Bai Aoxue sat slowly on a stone stool in the courtyard. She said: “Awake, Mumian! Get me some tea, please.”
Mumian recovered herself. She looked in admiration at Bai Aoxue and went quickly to make tea.
As expected by Bai Aoxue, Bai Suxue went to seek help from Bai Qiwei, the prime minister.
“Dad. Help me, please! My elder sister humiliated me before the maidservants by saying I was the turtledove, taking over the nest of a magpie, and she maimed my maidservant. Hoooo…” Bai Suxue kneeled down before Bai Qiwei, crying pitifully. Bai Qiwei frowned after hearing it. He knew that Bai Suxue must have bothered Bai Aoxue again. He knew Bai Aoxue was often bullied by Bai Suxue and Su Qianqian for many years, but he seldom inquired about it. He didn’t like Bai Aoxue as she was coward and shiftless, not resembling him at all. He preferred Bai Suxue because she was cruel and merciless. In his mind, only an unscrupulous, cold-blooded person could prevail over others, and what he badly needed was a daughter like Bai Suxue, who had much use value for him. Therefore, Bai Aoxue was doomed to be abandoned by her father. “Suxue, stand up! Aoxue is your elder sister, and you have more of my love since childhood. Sh
Upon hearing what Bai Qiwei said, Bai Aoxue smiled with taunt and said: “What? Dad. Do you even forget Aoxue? Even dad doesn’t recognize me, so there is no wonder that some people in the mansion dare to adorn themselves with borrowed plumes.” Bai Qiwei frowned with her words. He said: “Are you blaming me, my daughter? I truly neglect you these years and I’m sorry for that.” Bai Suxue was taken aback by what her father said. She looked at Bai Aoxue immediately. Bai Aoxue still assumed an indifferent expression, which made Bai Suxue clench her teeth with hatred.“No. I do not dare to blame you, father. But I heard from Fenhe, your concubine’s maidservant, that you are not the one at the helm in the prime minister mansion, and then they even beat my maidservant. I’m not an outstanding girl, but I’m still the daughter given birth by your official wife. How could they even bully me? I’m not afraid of pain, but I don’t want you to
Looking at Bai Aoxue, Bai Qiwei said: “Since it’s your demand, I’ll fulfil it. I only wish that you won’t blame me in the later days.” Bai Aoxue pinched her arm with great strength, with tears trickling down the face slowly on the face, which seemed quite pitiful. Upon seeing Bai Aoxue shedding tears, Mumian thought Bai Aoxue was heart-broken. Therefore, Mumian wept too. “Be at ease, dad. I will not blame you. It’s His Majesty’s decree. Perhaps, it’s my destiny.” Bai Aoxue said, poking fun of herself in her heart. Bai Qiwei feigned an expression of grievance. He heaved a sigh and said: “Remember, Aoxue. Even if you marry the Fifth Prince, you are still a member of the Bai family. Now, you can leave.” Bai Aoxue felt disgustful with his words, but still feigned a sad expression. She said: “I’ll remember what you said, dad. But before the marriage, I hope that nobody will bother me. It can be the last memory of
Bai Aoxue had already felt the different eyes, half probing and half joking. She frowned in displeasure while looking around with composure. A sharp-eyed waiter came over, guiding Bai Aoxue and Mumian into a private room respectfully The eyes following her closely vanished instantly like they had never existed before when Bai Aoxue was going to check it carefully. Then a trouble came, so she had to let go of the guard and doubt in her heart. “Oh. I’ve been thinking who it is. It is Bai Aoxue, the well-known daughter of the prime minister and his official wife.” There was a sharp, vitriolic voice from behind her back. Upon hearing it, those eating in the restaurant began to whisper and occasionally pointed at Bai Aoxue. Bai Aoxue frowned slightly. Ignoring it, she said to Mumian in a light voice: “Mumian. Ignore it. Let’s go.” “But, Miss... You...” Mumian looked at B
“My God. Yan, your fiancée is so ferocious. She took actions without any hesitation. She doesn’t look like a cowardly girl at all, but more like a shrew. We may be cheated by her appearance.” The handsome man said, looking at Bai Aoxue with fear. “Ha-ha. It’s fun, isn’t it? A wild cat with sharp claws is more fascinating than a docile white rabbit.” Jun Yeyan looked at Bai Aoxue and said with a smile. His voice was as mellow as vintage wine. “Lunatic. You are all lunatics. Don’t regret when you are beaten by her in the later time.” The handsome man said while looking at Jun Yeyan with inconceivability. Following slowly behind the waiter toward the private room, Bai Aoxue squinted into another private room which was adjacent to the street on the left side. She never doubted her vigilance. The probing eyes were from that private room. Guessing from the waiter’s careful manner, Bai Aoxue deemed a powerful man wa
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 s
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.
