Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
[Then why do you think your mother suddenly came to my residence and said that she wanted to propose marriage? If you didn’t ask her to come, would she change her attitude?]
[I did mention to her before to propose marriage…]
[So, you should have expected this day to come.]
[If I don’t marry you, I can’t marry anyone else. Xie Xingyun, I don’t like to be threatened, whether by you or by your mother. You don’t want us to not even be friends, right?]
[No.]
[Then please leave now.]
“Miss Bai, what are you thinking about?”
Guo Ying’s voice brought Bai Xianyu back to her senses. She looked at the man on the bed with a complicated gaze. “Nothing.”
“Did you hear what I said just now?”
“Yes, 1 understand.”
Seeing her calm expression, Guo Ying heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good.”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Zheng coughed twice. “Fifth Miss Bai, your brother is here.”
Bai Xianyu was completely relieved. The word ‘brother’ had given her too much security since she was young.
“Okay.”
Only then did Guo Ying remember to ask Bai Xianyu, “Miss Bai, didn’t 1 get someone to send you back? Why are you here at this moment?”
Bai Xianyu said simply, “There was an accident on the way.”
“… 1 see.” Guo Ying did not ask further.
“Then I’ll take my leave first. Since Xie Xingyun doesn’t continue to have a high fever.”
“Okay.”
Bai Xianyu bade farewell to Guo Ying and pushed open the door. She saw Xiao Zheng standing in the courtyard resentfully with a guilty expression.
She felt a dull pain in her waist. “Didn’t you say that Xie Xingyun has a high fever again?”
Xiao Zheng exclaimed and said strangely, “Before 1 went out to sweep the ground, Young Master was still having a high fever. I don’t know how it has subsided now.”
Bai Xianyu said indifferently, “Your Young Marquis has a fever, and you didn’t get someone to take care of him but went to sweep the ground yourself?”
The young man choked.
Bai Xianyu sighed softly. Forget it. They were in cahoots to begin with. Anyway, Xiao Zheng would not do anything that would harm Xie Xingyun.
The two of them quickly walked to the entrance of the residence. There, a long silhouette was drawn out by the moonlight, lonely and warm.
Bai Xianyu slowly smiled. “Brother.”
Bai Jingyuan replied softly. Then, a head suddenly emerged from the right side of the manor’s door. “Sister!”
“Fourth Brother.”
Bai Jinyan held his heart and looked at Bai Xianyu aggrievedly. “What’s so fun about this Marquis Manor? You’ve been here for the entire day. Come, come, come. Come, let me see if you’re feeling unwell.”
“I’m almost recovered. Fourth Brother, you still have to go to the academy tomorrow morning. Why did you come with Third Brother?” Bai Xianyu was afraid that they would notice something, so she secretly glanced at her dress.
Bai Jinyan took a few steps forward and said, “Third Brother sent someone to pick you up in the afternoon, but you didn’t arrive home after a long time. So, I came out with Third Brother to look for you. We found our way here from the White Florse Post and only stopped when we saw Green Pearl standing at the door.”
Bai Xianyu’s heart warmed as she smiled. “Brothers, you’re the best.”
This smile melted Bai Jinyan’s heart. Even Bai Jingyuan had a faint smile on his face.
“Let’s go home early. Young ladies can’t sleep late.” Bai Jinyan skillfully held Bai Xianyu’s hands and rubbed them. Soon, her cold hands warmed up.
Bai Jingyuan seemed to want to ask something, but he glanced around and did not speak.
Green Pearl hurriedly put down the stool and helped Bai Xianyu sit on it.
The next morning, Bai Xianyu brought Bai Li and a few secret guards to the White Florse Post early.
Because of the decree to assist in the case, Bai Xianyu could come and go as she pleased where the Imperial Guards were.
Bai Li was very strong to be able to injure Xie Xingyun.
She first brought Bai Li to see Qi Heng. “Remember what he looks like. Look around and see if there’s anyone who looks like him.”
Bai Li responded respectfully, “Yes, Miss.”
“Don’t act rashly even if you find him. Tell me first and wait for my orders.
“Yes.”
Bai Li immediately jumped out of the window.
After hearing Bai Xianyu’s words yesterday, Qi Heng had not slept the entire night, fearing that his neck would be slit in his sleep. Seeing this, he asked, “Miss, what should 1 do now? The carriage to take me to my post is already outside the city.”
Bai Xianyu said, “Let them wait first. It’s not safe yet.”
Qi Heng nodded repeatedly.
At the very least, she had to find evidence to prove her thoughts.
If their purpose was to let another “Qi Heng” replace him, then that “Qi Heng” definitely lived not far from this Qi Heng before them..
