Chapter 235 - 235: A Sleepless Night Under Her Window (1)



At this moment, the guard who went to report to Bai Jingyuan returned.

“Commander Bai, Young Master said to let her stay for the time being.”

The woman’s legs immediately went weak, and she sat on the ground with lingering fear.

Bai Xianyu thought for a moment. “Since you are allowed to stay, and it’s hard to address you without a name. Why don’t you choose a name for yourself?”

“Let me think…” The woman wiped her tears and said, “Then, you can address me as Pei Ying.”

“Ehm.”

Although Bai Jingyuan had ordered someone to cut off the iron chain connecting the two ships, for Xie Xingyun to come over, it would just be slightly more troublesome.

Besides, the two of them were working on a case together, so he had no reason to forbid him from coming.

On this day, after the two of them finished talking about work, Bai Jingyuan decided to make things clear to Xie Xingyun.

There was no sunlight in the gloomy sky.

Xie Xingyun was calm and composed. He could roughly guess why he suddenly stopped him.

“I called you here today to talk to you about my sister.”

The surrounding guards had all been chased away by Bai Li. There were only the two of them here.

Even though Bai Xianyu had been reborn, her nature was still lively. Coupled with the fact that her brothers were still alive, everything was developing in a good direction. The gloominess before and just after her rebirth seemed to have gradually disappeared.

At this moment, she, together with a few guards, tugged at the fishing hook again. Sitting on the deck fishing, she was holding the chess manual that Xie Xingyun had written for her.

Xie Xingyun’s eyes kept glancing over subconsciously. Bai Jingyuan said a few words in a row and realized that he was distracted.

Hence, he lowered his eyes. “Young Marquis.”

Xie Xingyun retracted his gaze.

Bai Jingyuan took a deep breath. “Little Yu has been innocent and naive since she was young. Even though our General’s Manor was in decline in the past, her brothers and 1 have never let her suffer. We won’t let her suffer when it comes to the person she likes!”

“If Little Yu wants to marry, she has to marry the person she likes. If she doesn’t like you, even if you’re a noble, we won’t agree to it!”

Xie Xingyun said calmly, “How do you know that she won’t like me?”

“If Little Yu likes someone, she won’t be so passive. I’m her brother, so I naturally know her.” Bai Jingyuan took a glance at Bai Xianyu, who had caught a small fish. “Besides, my Little Yu has never endured hardship or been reprimanded by her elders. The situation in your Northern Garrison Marquis Manor is complicated. If Little Yu were to go over, wouldn’t it be hard on her physically and mentally? If she wants to get married, I’d rather she marry someone with a simple background.”

“I can’t choose where 1 came from, but 1 won’t let her suffer.”

Bai Jingyuan had sent away many who had come to propose marriage in the past, but none of them were like Xie Xingyun. After expressing his rejection openly and covertly, he still did as he wished.

“If she doesn’t agree to marry you, will you use your authority to force her?” Bai Jingyuan narrowed his eyes. This was also an issue he had been worried about.

Even though the Emperor regarded him as his right-hand man, there was still a huge difference between those who were close and those who were not.

Xie Xingyun had the blood of the royal family flowing in his veins. The Emperor was his uncle, the most respected Eldest Princess of the Great Kui was his mother, the Prince of Nanzhao who led 300,000 troops was his grandfather, the late Emperor who founded the golden age was his maternal grandfather, and the late Marquis of the Northern Garrison was his father.

Ordinary people would be extremely noble if they were associated with one or two of them, but he was associated with them all.

It was not difficult for Xie Xingyun to ask to be “bestowed a marriage”.

“No.” Xie Xingyun said concisely, “If she doesn’t wish to marry, 1 won’t marry.”

Bai Jingyuan was feeling surprised.

He added, “If she wants to marry, her husband will only be me.”

Bai Jingyuan was furious. “You!”

Since he had already laid his cards on the table, Xie Xingyun was even more carefree. He said lazily, “I’ll leave first, future Third Brother-In-Law.”

Bai Jingyuan originally thought that after having been in the imperial court for too long, he had long honed his skills to the point that his expression would not change even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. But now, he just wanted to get someone to chase this man who had designs on his sister out!

While Bai Xianyu was fishing, Pei Ying was also standing at the side.

The maids and guards surrounded her.

“Miss, have some tea and rest for a while!”

“Wipe your sweat!”

“Reading the manual is too tiring. Why don’t I read it to Miss?”

There was glistening sweat on the girl’s forehead, and her white dress looked like sweet rain in the dim sun.

They were like stars surrounding the moon.

“This fish doesn’t know what’s good for it. Our Miss came to catch it, but it didn’t take the bait!”

“Exactly!”

“Miss, fishing is too tiring.. Let me help you catch it! i promise i’ll catch a fair and fat one for you!”
