Bai Mansion, Jun Ting Yuan.
"How is it? Have you considered it? Which one should I choose? "
Bai Ruoyu sat by the side and looked at Zhao Family coldly.
Seeing Bai Ruoyu's ice-cold gaze, Zhao Family kneeled down as she cried, "Yu Er, mother is begging you, let your brother go. He's your little brother."
Bai Ruoyu glared as she approached Zhao Family step by step, "What mother? What brother? Aunt, you're just my aunt, Chu Xiangjun is my mother. As for my brother, that's even more impossible, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d should not even be born. "
The cold eyes that stared straight at Zhao Family's stomach seemed to be refined with poison, causing people to tremble with fear.
"What do you want? What are you doing? "
Zhao Family fell to the ground and moved backwards in panic.
Bai Ruoyu sneered, "What? Naturally, we have to eliminate this little b.a.s.t.a.r.d and remove any worries for the future. "
"Are you crazy? Is this really your own brother? How could you bear to attack him?"
Zhao Family stared at Bai Ruoyu in fear, as if he had never seen her before.
Bai Ruoyu immediately pinched Zhao Family's face and opened her mouth, "Aunt, don't worry, I made this choice especially for you. It's very safe, as long as you take a sip, the child will come down.
After pouring all the medicinal soup in his hand into Zhao Family's mouth, Bai Ruoyu started laughing maniacally.
"No, no, no …"
Zhao Family shook her head with all her might and suddenly sat up on the bed.
Zhao Family raised her head and looked at the empty room. Her tensed heart finally relaxed.
So it was just a dream. He had truly scared her to death.
"Madame."
Xiang Xiu stood at the door and called out gently.
Zhao Family raised her eyes, her sharp eyes shooting straight at Xiang Xiu.
Seeing the Zhao Family's terrifying gaze, Xiang Xiu's body trembled, and couldn't help but take a step back.
"Did I talk in my sleep?"
The hoa.r.s.e voice seemed to come from h.e.l.l.
Xiang Xiu immediately shook her head in panic, "No, I didn't hear anything at all."
Zhao Family squinted her eyes and suddenly extended her hand out towards Xiang Xiu, "Serve me and change my clothes."
"Yes."
Xiang Xiu replied, her heart was filled with fear, but she could only muster up her courage and walk over, helping Zhao Family to get off the bed.
Sensing that Xiang Xiu's hands were trembling non-stop, Zhao Family's sinister eyes flashed with killing intent.
After helping Zhao Family to sit down, Xiang Xiu took out a comb from the table with trembling hands and helped her comb her hair.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Xiang Xiu bit her lips as she kept chanting in her heart.
She didn't hear anything, didn't know anything?
"Madame, Second Miss is here."
Su Xiu entered and bowed as she reported.
Hearing that Bai Ruoyu had arrived, Zhao Family stood up abruptly in fright.
"Say I'm not here."
Su Xiu was stunned, she did not expect that Zhao Family would not see him.
On the other hand, Xiang Xiu immediately lowered her head, looking very scared.
Seeing Su Xiu standing there in a daze, the Zhao Family became anxious, "What are you waiting for, go ahead."
"Yes."
Su Xiu came back to her senses, and immediately replied, then bowed and left the room.
Outside, Bai Ruoyu brought Yi Lan and waited with him.
He thought that since she had met the Zhao Family, she had no need to report to him. It was just that after what had happened previously, they seemed to have formed a barrier and were no longer as close as they were before.
Su Xiu came out, and bowed to Bai Ruoyu respectfully, "Second Miss, Madame is not here."
"She's not here?" Bai Ruoyu frowned.
A light flashed in Su Xiu's eyes, and she lowered her head even more as she muttered, "Yes."
Bai Ruoyu raised his eyes and looked at the main house, a light flickering in his eyes.
"Miss, the Crown Prince has come to see you."
Si Zhu ran over excitedly and reported happily.
Bai Ruoyu's eyes lit up, and looked at Si Zhu excitedly, "His Highness the crown prince really wants to see me."
Si Zhu nodded, "Yes, His Highness the crown prince is waiting for you in the hall."
"I'll go now."
Bai Ruoyu was so excited that she forgot everything and ran out.
Su Xiu looked at Bai Ruoyu's retreating back, her clear eyes slightly narrowing.
"How about this? My hair is messy, and my clothes are messy?"
As he walked to the entrance of the main hall, Bai Ruoyu nervously touched his hair and pulled at his clothes.
Si Zhu nodded with admiration, "Miss looks very good like this."
"Miss, don't worry. You are already very beautiful." Yi Lan also flattered on the side.
Bai Ruoyu nervously took a deep breath, then raised her leg and walked into the main hall.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Seeing Murong Xun, Bai Ruoyu immediately bowed.
Murong Xun turned, and looked at Bai Ruoyu who was dressed in her fine clothes, and frowned.
It was unknown if it was because he was used to Bai Li's simple attire, but when he saw such complicated attire, he felt dazzled.
"No need for formalities."
Murong Xun raised his hand indifferently, only then did he straighten it out.
"May I know why Your Highness is looking for Ruyu?" Bai Ruoyu looked at Murong Xun bashfully.
Murong Xun did not speak, he only looked at Yi Lan and Si Zhu.
Yi Lan and Si Zhu's faces immediately flushed red, they bowed and said, "This servant will take his leave."
After the two of them had left, Murong Xun looked at Bai Ruoyu, "Earlier, I allowed you to take the position of the secondary wife to repay the favor of saving your life when you were young."
After Bai Ruoyu heard this, she instantly became excited, and her heart started beating faster.
Were they going to bring her to the Crown Prince's Palace? Great.
"Now, I can grant you other conditions."
Murong Xun's last sentence was like a bucket of ice water, instantly extinguis.h.i.+ng all of Bai Ruoyu's hope.
"What does Your Highness mean by this?"
Bai Ruoyu frowned as she looked at Murong Xun, her eyes holding a final trace of hope.
She hoped that she was wrong. She hoped that he wasn't what she thought he meant at all.
Murong Xun looked at Bai Ruoyu expressionlessly, "I don't want a concubine anymore, and I don't want a concubine to share a room either. Second Miss can make other conditions, no matter which young talent you like, I can satisfy you."
Bai Ruoyu clenched her fists tightly, her eyes was gloomy.
She did not care about gold, silver, or jewelry. She only wanted the second place.
Bai Ruoyu raised her eyes and looked at Murong Xun coldly, "I don't want anything, I just want this position of imperial concubine. Previously, Your Highness had personally promised me that he would go back on his word."
He never thought that Bai Ruoyu would be so persistent, Murong Xun frowned.
"Gu is a promise, but Gu also said that if I meet a woman I truly love one day, then this promise will no longer count."
His heart suddenly throbbed in pain, and Bai Ruoyu staggered back a step.
"You're in love with Bai Lier. Was it Bai Lier who stopped you from marrying me? "
His angry tone sounded like he was questioning.
Murong Xun frowned, a look of displeasure flashed past his eyes, "As for the matter between a man and a woman, I had wanted you to do what you wanted me to do, to never love you, to never marry you, what does that have to do with anyone else?"
"Think about your conditions carefully. When you think about it clearly, send someone to tell Gu You that Gu You will do his best to satisfy you."
After Murong Xun finished, he walked out of the main hall.
"Ya ah …"
Bai Ruoyu suddenly punched at the round table beside him.
With a "peng" sound, the round table instantly shattered into pieces.
Raising his scarlet eyes, Bai Ruoyu clenched his fists tightly.
Bai Lier, she, Bai Ruoyu, would definitely return today's humiliation tenfold.
Imperial City, White Moon Restaurant.
Bai Ruoyu drank cup after cup of wine.
The pungent taste stimulated her nerves, but it could not cover up the depression in her heart.
Why was all this happening? Why is she a concubinage? Why did she want a mother who stole men? No matter how hard she tried, she could not see a way out.
Why is G.o.d so unfair? Isn't she beautiful enough? Isn't she smart enough? Wasn't she trying hard enough? Why did she go all out only to end up like this?
Which part of that Bai Lier was better than her? Stupid, infatuated, other than her useless ident.i.ty as a direct daughter, how could she compare to him? Why could she not do anything and have everything? As for her, no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't get anything out of it.
Why was that?
Bai Ruoyu looked at the bright full moon outside the window drunkenly.
If she could, she would fly into the sky and ask the heavens why they treated her so unfairly.
Unfortunately, this was impossible.
The corner of his lips curled up into a bitter smile that was even more bitter than Huang Lian's. He raised his head and drained the cup of wine in one gulp.
He picked up the wine jug to pour wine, but there wasn't a drop left.
"Waiter, give me another pot." Bai Ruoyu threw the empty wine pot to the side in dissatisfaction.
"Good …" "Alright."
The waiter responded with a yawn, looking worriedly at the big full moon hanging high outside.
This girl must be drunk. It's already so late.
Helplessly shaking his head, the waiter covered his mouth and yawned as he went to get some wine.
"Miss."
A white robed man suddenly appeared in front of Bai Ruoyu.
Hearing the voice, Bai Ruoyu's drunken eyes blurred as she looked up to see an extraordinarily handsome man worriedly looking at her. For a moment, she felt as if she had seen Murong Xun.
"Your Highness, are you here to bring Ruyu back to the palace?"
Bai Ruoyu smiled dumbly, proudly extending her hand towards the man like a peac.o.c.k.
Puyang Xu frowned, staring at Bai Ruoyu's small, white hand.
"Miss, you're drunk. Where do you live? Do you want this one to send someone to take you back?"
"Am I drunk?" The corner of Bai Ruoyu's mouth raised into a wry smile, as he poked his own chest with his finger, "But why does it still hurt so much here?"
Seeing the self-deprecating smile on Bai Ruoyu's lips, Puyang Xu suddenly felt pain in her heart for some reason.
Why did he have such a feeling? It was clearly the first time they had met, wasn't it?
Bai Ruoyu supported herself up from the table as she staggered to stand in front of Puyang Xu and pulled his sleeves tightly.
"You hurt me, you know?"
As the sorrowful eyes met his eyes, Puyang Xu was stunned yet again.
She had a pair of beautiful eyes, but why was she so depressed? Why was she so unhappy?
"I'm in so much pain here, so much pain."
Bai Ruoyu said with grievance as she pulled Puyang Xu's hand and pressed it against her chest.
Puyang Xu's handsome face blushed red and he immediately retracted his hand in panic.
"Miss, please behave yourself."
Puyang Xu looked at the drunk Bai Ruoyu, feeling both worried and annoyed.
What did this woman want to drink so much that she would casually do such a shocking thing? If she didn't meet him today, what kind of outcome would she face?
"Self-respect?" Bai Ruoyu laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's just that I'm too conceited, which is why you keep on ignoring me like this."
suddenly reached out and wrapped his arms around his neck, and before he could even react, he tiptoed and kissed Puyang Xu's lips.
