Chapter 108 - 108: Xie Xingyun Standing Above
Guo Ying replied, “Yes, Your Highness.”
Eldest Princess Jing An also nodded. Since Yun’er liked her so much, she could accept it.
Moreover, Bai Xianyu was indeed outstanding among the noble ladies in the capital.
She was indeed qualified to be Yun’er’s wife.
She glanced at the moonlight outside the window. “Forget it. It’s late when you go over. Don’t disturb Yun’er’s rest. Tomorrow morning, I’ll send someone to inform him.”
“Yes.”
The next day.
Bai Xianyu was still under the blanket when Green Pearl’s voice came.
“Miss, quick get up!”
Bai Xianyu rolled over. “Let me sleep a little longer… I haven’t slept well in a long time.”
After returning to the capital, she did not have time to rest.
“The Eldest Princess is here!”
For a moment, Bai Xianyu thought that she had returned to her first life and was going to greet his mother-in-law.
However, on second thought, she immediately opened her eyes.
This was the General’s Manor. What was the Eldest Princess doing here?
Could it be that she was here to question her?
Eldest Princess Jing An sat in the main hall. The fine red sandalwood tables and stools were lined up in two rows, and a delicate fragrance floated in the spacious space.
Bai Xianyu walked in and bowed in her direction. “Greetings, Your Highness.”
“Get up.”
Bai Xianyu looked straight ahead. “Yes.”
Eldest Princess Jing An sized her up. Although she had long heard that this Bai Family girl was beautiful, seeing her today still stunned her.
Her facial features were indeed beautiful. What was rare was that she was naturally beautiful. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and her figure was quite good. Although she was still young, she was slender and elegant. When she bent down, one could see her bulging chest, slender waist, and round buttocks. Everything was just right.
No wonder Yun’er could not let go.
With such a beauty in front of him, he was just a hot-blooded young man, how could he resist her?
Bai Xianyu did not know that Eldest Princess Jing An had taken a good look of her all over while she was sitting back on the chair.
She smiled and picked up a cup of tea, but she was thinking about how to explain the injury on Xie Xingyun’s hand.
“I had wanted to look for your grandmother today, but she seems to have returned to her hometown?” Eldest Princess Jing An’s attitude was much better than Bai Xianyu had imagined. “Then 1’11 talk to you directly.”
Bai Xianyu nodded.
“Let me ask you, are you engaged?”
The smile on Bai Xianyu’s lips faded. She was silent for two seconds before saying, “Not yet.”
Eldest Princess Jing An had already put down her pride to come this time. Now that she was already sitting here, it would be embarrassing if she did not succeed in the negotiation.
One had to know that she had also brought a carriage full of gifts when she came.
Hence, her tone was gentle. “The last time I invited Bai Yu’er to my residence, I didn’t think it through and let you down. However, 1 actually like you more.”
Bai Xianyu was a little surprised by her compromise, but she did not hesitate to say, “Your Highness is too polite. Xianyu doesn’t dare to climb up the social ladder.”
Eldest Princess Jing An had heard Guo Ying’s words previously, so she was prepared for Bai Xianyu’s rejection now. As soon as she finished speaking, she said, “Don’t be in a hurry to reject me. 1 know you’re dissatisfied with me now, but this marriage is a lifelong thing. My Yun’er is sincere to you. If you marry into his residence in the future, he definitely won’t let you suffer.”
At this moment, Bai Xianyu was not thinking about Eldest Princess Jing An’s words, but why her attitude had changed so quickly.
Could it be that Xie Xingyun said something in front of her?
“Your Highness, you’re very considerate. However, I didn’t reject the Young Marquis at that time because of a momentary intention, but because I had thought about it carefully.”
Eldest Princess Jing An started to sound impatient. “After careful consideration, you feel that my son is not good?”
Bai Xianyu knew that she was protective, but if she did not make it clear now, it would be even more troublesome if she went against her wishes in the future.
“It’s just that it’s not suitable. Young Marquis has the looks of a celestial being.
I don’t dare to climb up the social ladder.”
Eldest Princess Jing An did not expect that the Bai Family girl would still be so stubborn even though she had come personally. She even rejected her when she had lowered her head to apologize.
In a moment of anger, she said, “You’re decisive now. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to get married in the future?”
Her tone was full of threat.
Bai Xianyu replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, “Whether 1 marry or not is my own business. You don’t have to worry.” “Alright.” Eldest Princess Jing An stood up and stared at her face. “Good one, Bai Xianyu, How dare you not even respect me?”
Bai Xianyu said, “I’m just telling the truth.”
Eldest Princess Jing An took a look at her and snorted. Then, she flicked her sleeves and left.
Guo Ying followed behind her. “Your Highness was too rash just now.”
Eldest Princess Jing An said, “She almost slapped me. Why should I be polite to her?”
Guo Ying knew that she was angry, so she did not say anything else.
When they reached the courtyard, Guo Ying looked at the gifts and asked, “Your Highness, what about these gifts?”
Eldest Princess Jing An did not reply. She walked angrily to the corner and said angrily, “Is there a reason to take back the things I’ve brought? Leave them here.”
It could be considered that she was asking for trouble.
If she had known that Bai Xianyu was so angry, she would not have acted rashly back then.
Now, she had lowered her pride to “beg” her, but she ignored her.
However, Yun’er was still drunk at home.
When Xie Xingyun got up, the person sent by the Eldest Princess arrived.
His eyes were tired. “What is it?”
“Young Master, the Eldest Princess said that you don’t have to be sad. As for the girl, she’ll go and settle the marriage arrangement for you.”
Although the person who sent the message did not know who this “girl” was, he clearly saw the change in Xie Xingyun’s expression.
“When did this happen?”
That person said, “Last night, there was a call to pass the message, but I was afraid of disturbing your rest, so I’ve come to report it now.”
Xie Xingyun tightened his grip on the door. “Got it.”
After the messenger left, Xie Xingyun went into the bathroom and took a simple cold shower. Only then did his head, which was drowsy from drunkenness, sobered up a little.
He changed his clothes and went straight to the General’s Manor.
After sending Eldest Princess Jing An off, Bai Xianyu still felt a little upset.
It was her own decision that she did not want to marry.
However, if someone else were to threaten her, it would be another matter.
Before Eldest Princess Jing An left, she clearly meant that if she did not marry Xie Xingyun and wanted to marry someone else in the future, she might still cause her trouble.
Could it be because she had tricked Xie Xingyun and left first that day, he had asked Eldest Princess Jing An to come here directly?
Bai Xianyu frowned slightly. “Green Pearl, get someone to put away all the things the Eldest Princess brought. I’ll return them another day.”
Green Pearl nodded. “I’ll go now.”
Bai Xianyu sat in the courtyard for a while before a faint sound came from the eaves.
She looked up and saw Xie Xingyun standing above her, looking down at her.
Bai Xianyu said angrily, “The Eldest Princess has already left.. Aren’t you leaving?”
