"You seem to have some dangerous ideas."
Bai Yujing narrowed his eyes slightly, and then sighed, "No matter what I say, you won't stand idly by, right?"
His eyes were deep, and he suddenly reached out and hugged Xia Yunxian tightly into his arms. This time, she didn't struggle, but it made Bai Yujing even more uneasy.
She must have gotten a strong piece of evidence from Liu Chengyu. She already knew that General Xia's defeat was not God's will, and the Duke's love for her made her not just sit idly by.
"You want to destroy our Xia family, and you want to deal with the man in the Duke's Mansion. Did you get the tiger talisman in your hand back from him, right?"
"How do you know it's a tiger charm?"
Bai Yujing hugged Xia Yunxian tighter. The Tiger Talisman was so important. Only the current emperor and the general who held it knew what it looked like. "When did you start investigating the cause of General Xia's death?"
How could she do such a dangerous thing?
No wonder he always felt that Xia Yunxian was very unhappy. This unhappiness was not due to her unsatisfactory marriage to the Liu family, but to the depression and pressure of carrying a blood feud on her shoulders that could not be avenged.
"The month before my father's accident, the letter sent home had already reminded Yunhan and me."
This time, Xia Yunxian didn't hide anything, and she clearly noticed that Bai Yujing's body stiffened.
The faint fragrance on his body made Xia Yunxian gradually calm down, until the man's serious voice sounded, "I have thought about it carefully. I will become the wife of Dali Temple."
Previously, he thought it would be safer to place Xia Yunxian in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, but now, he changed his mind.
Since she couldn't stop herself from the cliff, she had no choice but to join him in the game. Everyone could bully the Crown Prince's wife, but no one dared to bully the Lady of Dali Temple!
He wanted to see her anytime, anywhere, and hold her in his arms anytime, anywhere.
He has been timid for so many years, he might as well fulfill his wish once before he dies.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yunxian pushed him away. Her face was cold, "How did you know that I would definitely lose?"
She seemed to know what he was thinking. This bastard always had such wishful thinking and never asked her what he thought.
Xia Yunxian's eyes were a bit disappointed, and Bai Yujing naturally didn't understand where her inexplicable anger came from.
"How do you know you're going to win?"
This girl is too arrogant!
"I'm not sure I will win, but I want you to believe I can win!"
When Xia Yunxian said these words, even she was startled.
When did she start caring so much about his opinion and trust in her?
So what if Bai Yujing doesn't believe her and looks down on her?
This is her hatred and has nothing to do with him. She doesn't need to prove herself in front of Bai Yujing.
"get out."
Xia Yunxian took a deep breath. After an unknown amount of time, Xia Yunhan outside the carriage clearly saw Bai Yujing retreating with a gloomy expression. He glanced at himself gently, then glanced inside the car, "I let her."
"..." Xia Yunhan had a strange illusion. Why did this extremely vicious and traitorous official seem to be afraid of his eldest sister?
…
The Duke's wife had already woken up, and Xia Yunxian came specially for a follow-up consultation. When they left the room, Liang Qianqian couldn't help but start chatting.
"The oiran is missing."
After thinking about it, they felt that the oiran must have known about this matter. As long as they caught him and tortured him for interrogation, they would know who wanted to harm the government!
"Old Guo Gong will definitely make everyone in the Liang family act vigilantly. Miss Liang must also be more careful. If the opponent misses this time, there will definitely be a next time."
"Sister Yunxian, don't worry, the news about the Hou Mansion has spread this morning..."
Before Liang Qianqian could finish speaking, the old princess had already appeared in front of them.
Xia Yunxian's eyes flashed, and he respectfully came forward. Just as he was about to salute, he was stopped by the old princess, "I have nothing to do, I just came to see the Duke's wife. It seems that she has rested, and just in time, Yunxian came Come walk with me."
Xia Yunxian nodded meekly and followed the pace of the old princess.
The cool breeze blew away the nanny who was waiting close by. The calm and kind smile on the old princess's face gradually dissipated the embarrassment and pressure, allowing Xia Yunxian to carefully support her.
"Child, what are your plans next?"
The wife of the Crown Prince of the Yongding Marquis Mansion returned to General Xia's Mansion overnight, and the matter had spread like wildfire. What's more, if someone added fuel to the flames, the news would spread even faster.
"It was Unzen who betrayed the old princess's trust."
Xia Yunxian was already prepared to be scolded. If it weren't for her, Princess Pingnan and Princess Pingting would not have experienced such a thing. The old princess must have known the secret, and she was probably very disappointed in her.
But at this moment, Xia Yunxian still felt the eager care, and felt more and more guilty.
However, a pair of warm hands patted the back of her hand gently, "Who hasn't been young? Who hasn't gone through several wrong paths? The process is not important, what is important is the result."
The old princess smiled and stopped beating around the bush.
"What do you think of that child Yu Jing?"
Xia Yunxian didn't answer. She had already seen her thoughts clearly, but she still felt that something was wrong.
"Don't be too opinionated. Sometimes it's best to let nature take its course and let God arrange it." The old princess looked up at the blue sky, and her memories seemed to drift far away.
"Have you ever heard of General Bai Xiaohong?"
Xia Yunxian was silent for a moment. Of course she knew that Bai Yujing's father, General Bai Xiaohong, was different from him. He was a hero who was deeply loved by the people and died fighting on the border to defend the territory.
Who doesn't know that General Bai and the current Holy One were brothers in the past? Because of this, Bai Yujing's background was superior to others. Even if he committed a heinous crime, the Holy One would only give him a whip.
"I don't know how a man like Xiaohong could give birth to a deviant child like Bai Yujing!"
The old princess sighed regretfully, "Back then, everyone thought that Xiaohong's only bloodline died on the border. Until the grown-up Yujing returned to Beijing with a high profile, she did a shocking bastard thing!"
At that time, a woman took her terminally ill baby all the way to Beijing to seek medical treatment. On the way, she ran out of money and relied on begging to survive. By chance, she met Bai Yujing, who was dressed in bright clothes and angry with horses.
He said to the woman, "As long as you kneel from here to the palace gate, I will give you 10,000 taels of silver to help treat your child's illness."
The woman cried with joy and actually knelt down all the way with her child in her arms, attracting people on the road to watch.
Unexpectedly, when she knelt at the palace gate, Bai Yujing went back on her word and laughed at her for being naive and stupid!
The old princess frowned, "There were so many people outside the palace watching, and the woman cried so hard that she cursed Yu Jing for not being a thing. Guess what happened next?"
