Chapter 49 - 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, “1 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 from kneeling!”

“I mean you, Bai Jinyan.”

“All… Oh.” Bai Jinyan knelt down very decisively. His movements were smooth and fluid.

However, the expression on his face was still that of confusion.

Bai Xianyu’s “aggrieved” expression almost crumbled.

Bai Jingyuan glanced at the girl and said in a low voice, “Do you still not know what happened?”

Bai Xianyu’s eyes were filled with confusion.

Bai Mohuai said, “When I returned to the capital today, I saw that the storyteller had made up a story about you. He said something about a man being in love with a woman who did not reciprocate, and that even if one was Bai Xianyu, one would not be able to escape from the clutches of that brat from the Xie Family.”

Bai Xianyu,”…”

She really did not know…

She did not know how she fell asleep that day, and when she woke up, it was because of Green Pearl’s screams. She had been knocked out by Xie Xingyun and left somewhere. Two secret guards in her courtyard also woke up with her…

She could not remember whether Xie Xingyun brought her to the cloth shop in the end, but he did not look for her for the next few days. If he knew the truth, he would probably come to question her.

Right now, no news from him was the best news.

“Second Brother, why do you believe those things? I don’t have any thoughts about Xie Xingyun.”

Bai Mohuai did not want to believe it either, but the rumors were very vivid. The Great Kui was open-minded and did not shy away from these things. Even the Prince’s romantic affairs were told by storytellers.

On the other hand, Bai Mohuai, who had always mediated the negotiations between merchant groups and shops, was the most well-informed. It was just that he had been doing a big deal near the capital earlier, so he had been delayed for a few days.

Unexpectedly, the moment he returned, this earth-shattering gossip was all about her sister and that brat from the Xie Family.

The most unacceptable thing was that the rumors actually had it that his sister was deeply in love with Xie Xingyun and would follow him even if she had herself in public!

Bai Jinyan interrupted, “That’s right, Second Brother, Third Brother. 1 can assure you that Little Yu has no interest in that person from that Northern Garrison Marquis Manor at all. In the past, when she was in the academy, there were many girls who gave Xie Xingyun pouches and flowers, but Little Yu did not even do it.”

Bai Xianyu nodded and quietly pulled Bai Jinyan up.

Bai Jinyan coughed and stole a glance at his two elder brothers. He slowly stood up.

Bai Mohuai pretended not to notice and took a sip of tea. “That’s ideal. The position as the Mistress of the Northern Garrison’s Marquis involves too much. Our Bai Family is loyal to its master. Even if you like him, I’m afraid it will be difficult..”
