Chapter 104 - 104: Fifth Miss Bai Has Left
“Good.” Xie Xingyun loosened his grip completely and said in a low voice, “I’ll wait for you to come back.”
Seeing that he trusted her so much, Bai Xianyu’s heart became conflicted. She slowly stood up and moved her hand which was hot from his grip. “Shuang’er, let’s go.”
Xie Xingyun seemed to be a little puzzled by her action of asking “this man” to go with her. However, he seemed to have thought of something and leaned back.
Xiao Zheng made way for them.
Bai Xianyu and Ji Shuang went downstairs and left through the back door.
Ji Shuang sat in the carriage and looked at Bai Xianyu. “What’s going on? Could it be that you and Xie Xingyun…?”
“It’s not what you think, but…” Bai Xianyu tried her best to say something, but her relationship with Xie Xingyun was indeed difficult to explain. “It’s almost like what you have seen.”
Ji Shuang,”…”
“Does he like you?” Ji Shuang held her forehead and pinched Bai Xianyu’s fair and tender face. “But you don’t like him?”
Bai Xianyu still could not completely accept the fact that Xie Xingyun liked her.
Hearing what Ji Shuang said, she said, “Why do you think so?”
Bai Xianyu’s face was smooth and soft like a baby’s skin. Ji Shuang touched it for a while longer. “1 can tell. After he was drunk, his eyes were full of you. Isn’t it obvious?”
Was she all he could see?
That was why he would hug her and call her Wife when he was drunk.
Bai Xianyu suddenly thought of the way Xie Xingyun looked at her before she left.
Expectation and delight.
“He’s good-looking and determined,” Ji Shuang said lightly.
She wanted to push his hand away from Little Yu’s waist with her sword, but although Xie Xingyun was drunk, he still held Little Yu and turned around. He turned his back to her and grabbed her sword.
Later on, when Little Yu was treating his wound, she had also taken a look at it. If it was any deeper, the tendons in his hand could be severed. However, the young man did not even frown. He was mentally tougher than some of the generals under her grandfather.
However, Ji Shuang had the self-awareness of a family member and continued, “But he’s still not good enough to be matched with my Little Yu. Take the Eldest Princess you mentioned just now for example, for an heir of high nobility like Xie Xingyun, would she be able to tolerate Xie Xingyun only having you alone?”
She held Bai Xianyu’s hand and said seriously, “If you could meet someone who would treat you wholeheartedly for an entire lifetime, be together as a pair, you should consider it.”t
Even though Bai Xianyu no longer wanted to be a pair with someone for the rest of her life, Ji Shuang was saying all this for her own good, so she nodded in agreement.
Bai Xianyu sent Ji Shuang back to Prince Pingnan’s residence before taking a detour back to the General’s Manor.
Xie Xingyun sat in his seat. Xiao Zheng opened the window. The cold wind of spring woke up his muddled mind for a moment.
Xiao Zheng could not sit still and did not know what to do.
Fifth Miss Bai had already left. They did not know how long they would have to wait here.
Xie Xingyun rubbed his eyebrows and looked up. “Has my Wife not returned yet?”
“Maybe the sobering soup isn’t ready yet…”
“It’s been an hour, and it’s still not ready?”
For a second, Xiao Zheng thought that his young master had already sobered up. However, if he had sobered up, why would he still call Fifth Miss Bai Wive?
“Help me to the kitchen.” Xie Xingyun stood up and narrowed his eyes, trying to make the dizzy scene in front of him stop.
Where would there be a kitchen here?
Xiao Zheng could only tell the truth. “Young Master, Fifth Miss Bai has already left.”
Xie Xingyun stopped in his tracks. “…Left?”
Where did she go?
“Young Master, you’re drunk. Fifth Miss Bai is not your wife. You’re not married yet.”
Xiao Zheng went forward and held his hand.
Xie Xingyun waved his hand away and grabbed his collar. He said gloomily, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Xiao Zheng sighed. “Young Master, you’re talking nonsense.”
A scene suddenly appeared before Xie Xingyun’s eyes. He slowly frowned.
After an unknown period of time.
The scene finally froze on a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
[I’m not drinking anymore. Take me home.]
[Alright?]
[… No!]
[Alright?]
[Take me home, Little Yu.]
[Let go of me and I’ll take you home… alright?]
The scent of her lingering in his nose was sweet.
[I’m going to make you some sobering soup now. After drinking it, we’ll go home, okay?]
Xie Xingyun’s heart constricted, and an unknown pain spread throughout his body. Even his breathing was painful.
It turned out that there was no going back to their home.
It was gone.
He would not be able to return to his home with her.
In the next few days, Bai Xianyu brought Bai Yu’er to many places.
Bai Yu’er thought that she would get acquainted with those noble ladies.
But in reality, they cared more about Bai Xianyu’s attitude.
How could they not see Bai Xianyu’s attitude towards Bai Yu’er?
Moreover, one could tell at a glance which was more important.
After this trip, Bai Yu’er’s family was completely cut off from the relationship.
In the future, even if her family wanted to take advantage of the power of the General’s Manor, no one would care.
On this day, Bai Yu’er also vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Facing Old Madam and her parents who greeted her, she frowned and complained to her, “Grandmother, my cousin went too far in the Pang family today. 1 just accidentally dirtied Eldest Brother Pang’s clothes and spilled some tea. Madam Pang said that 1 was unruly, and my cousin watched from the side and didn’t speak up for me. It was as if she treated me as a stranger.”
Old Madam frowned and glared at the girl standing in front of her. “Bai Xianyu, do you still remember your surname?!”
Bai Xianyu said calmly, “I’m Bai from the Bai Family in the capital. She’s Bai from the Bai family in Qingzhou.”
Bai Yuantai pulled a long face. “What capital and Qingzhou? We’re all family. Do you have to divide us so clearly?”
Unexpectedly, Bai Xianyu did not even address him as “Uncle” anymore. “Bai Yuantai, and Grandmother, if you’ve forgotten, I don’t mind reminding you. My father has long been removed from the family genealogy.”
Her eyes were slightly cold. “What kind of people are usually removed from the genealogy? Those who were immoral, those who abandoned their ancestors, those who betrayed the Emperor, those who committed crimes… My father has been loyal all his life. Why should he be removed from the genealogy by people like you?”
Old Madam pointed at her and scolded, “What do you mean? Is it useful to settle these old scores now? You’re young, but you’re very vengeful!”
Bai Yuantai hated it when others praised his Eldest Brother. They were clearly born from the same womb, so why was he so lucky?!
“That’s because he was greedy! He knew that accompanying a king was like accompanying a tiger, but he still took all the credit for himself! He was promoted but lost his life. He deserved to be removed!”
Bai Xianyu was very glad that she had cut off most of their relationship with the General’s Manor in the last few days.
Now, she only needed this last step to completely break it.
Otherwise, with just these few mouths of theirs, they would attract disaster sooner or later..
