BXBX NOVEL Chapter 48 - 48:I Forced Her
Xie Xingyun frowned slightly.
Eldest Princess Jing An said, “In the past few days, there have been rumors from some teahouses and restaurants in the capital saying that someone saw you and Bai Xianyu walking the streets together and acting intimately. Tell me the truth, did she regret rejecting you?”
As soon as she said this, the Water Pavilion suddenly fell silent.
The winter wind blew across the lake, clearing one’s mind.
He said, “No.”
Eldest Princess Jing An’s heart was stifled. “Then did you walk the streets with her?”
“Yes.”
“Yun’er, you… you!” Eldest Princess Jing An sighed. “If she doesn’t like you, why did she agree to go out with you? Do you still want her to be your wife?”
Xie Xingyun stared at the fish in the water with a calm expression. “1 forced her.”
Eldest Princess Jing An widened her eyes and looked frightened. “You forced her?”
She did not know that her son had such a side.
What was so good about Bai Xianyu?
Xie Xingyun nodded and put away the fish feed in his hand. “I still have something on. Please go ahead.”
“Yun’er!”
Xiao Zheng also hurriedly bid farewell to Eldest Princess Jing An. “Eldest Princess Jing An, your Highness, I will take my leave first.”
Following Xie Xingyun, Xiao Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. “Young Master, you don’t know how ugly the Eldest Princess’s expression was just now…”
Although Eldest Princess Jing An was harsh to outsiders, she could not bear to say anything harsh to her only eldest son, let alone show a black face.
Xie Xingyun said, “How many people did you interrogate earlier?”
There was only one mission recently. Xiao Zheng quickly replied, “Two shop assistants from the cloth shop and one from the kitchen. For the general’s residence, I’ve only asked a maidservant and two guards.”
“How did you ask them? How did they reply?”
“This subordinate is very cautious. I ask different people in different ways, but in general, I asked them when Fifth Miss Bai learned her skills from Madam Qin.” Xiao Zheng recalled for a moment and said, “They all said it was a year ago.”
Xie Xingyun’s expression was still calm, as if he had expected this outcome.
Xiao Zheng was still a little confused. “Young Master, are you suspecting that they’re lying?”
Xie Xingyun smiled faintly.”… Isn’t it obvious?”
“How is it obvious?”
The young man stood tall and straight, his eyes dark and sunken. “It’s fine if it’s one or two people, but so many people remember the time so clearly. Other than having been reminded in advance, is there another possibility?”
Xiao Zheng was instantly enlightened!
Yes, an answer without loopholes was the real loophole.
If someone asked when Young Master had changed his scabbard, other than him being able to give an accurate answer, even if the person was from the same residence, he would definitely not be able to give a specific time.
People’s memories differed. Some people had a good memory, and some people had a bad memory. Some even remembered the correct date wrongly. Yet, under such circumstances, be it women or young people, they all gave a uniform time—one year ago.
“But why did Fifth Miss Bai hide this from you, Young Master?” After Xiao Zheng figured it out, he still felt that there were some things that he could not understand. “Why did she make up the time that she learned embroidery from someone?”
Xie Xingyun narrowed his eyes slightly, looking a little cold.
Why… did she lie to him?
Bai Xianyu was his wife in his previous life, one whom he had married with all the formal rites.
She had been reborn with him..

Chapter 49: How Long Was She Going to Hide It From Him?
There seemed to be more complicated emotions surging in the depths of the young man’s eyes.
If not for the fact that he had accidentally seen that pouch, how long was she going to hide it from him?
Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor.
This was the first time Bai Xianyu was being stared at by her two brothers with such a serious look. Her long eyelashes were lowered, and she looked a little aggrieved.
Bai Tanshen had gone to war, and the most senior person here was Bai Mohuai.
After Bai Jingyuan left the court, without even changing out of his court attire, he stood in front of her with a dark expression.
“Little Yu, do you know what the people outside are saying about you now?” Bai Mohuai’s tone sounded angry. Bai Xianyu had never seen him so fierce toward her before.
She lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I don’t know.”
Seeing her pitiful look, Bai Mohuai reached out his hand with the intent to caress her head, but when he remembered that he was still reprimanding his sister, he stopped. Coincidentally, Bai Jinyan arrived late, and he slammed the table with a change in his expression.
Bai Xianyu trembled.
Bai Jinyan hurriedly came in and stood in front of Bai Xianyu. “What’s wrong? What mistake did Little Yu make?”
“Kneel down.”
“Kneel? No, no. Little Yu is delicate and weak. What if she breaks her knees
