Chapter 30: Carried Into the Carriage
She waited for two hours.
When the servants carried Lin Xingjian to his courtyard and made the necessary arrangements for the doctor, the Marquis of Dingyuan's wife remembered Bai Xianyu, who was still standing at the same spot.
She had just heard from Xingjian that a falcon half the height of a person had suddenly pecked him and slammed him against the wall.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Bai Xianyu, but this was the first time she had heard of such a ferocious beast attacking someone. It happened right when the Bai family's young lady said that she was willing to marry into the residence.
She could not help thinking about it. Could it be that the heavens were giving her some pointers?
The Marquis Dingyuan's wife was filled with worry and looked at Bai Xianyu evasively.
Bai Xianyu could also sense that the Marquis of Dingyuan's wife had gone to Lin Xingjian's courtyard. There seemed to be something different about her, as if… she was guarding against her.
She found it strange, but she still finished her sentence.
"Madam, I'm willing to marry Lin Xingjian, but… can we get engaged first and get married three years later?"
In the Great Kui, there were many things that were inconvenient to do after becoming someone's wife.
Especially for noble families like the dukes and marquises, a mother-in-law would never let her daughter-in-law appear in public.
And these three years were the critical time for their General's Manor to decline from prosperity. She had to stay in the General's Manor personally to feel at ease.
The already wavering heart of the Marquis of Dingyuan's wive wavered even more.
"Three years? My son, Xingjian, will be 23 years old in three years."
Her family only had one child, Xinjian. She was also looking forward to him marrying a good daughter-in-law and having children.
Getting engaged but not getting married till much later? Could it be that they despised the Marquis of Dingyuan's Manor and were trying to hold out till a better person come along?
One had to know that an engagement could be canceled. With Bai Xianyu's background, wouldn't it be easy to cancel an engagement?
At that time, he would be twenty-three years old and still unmarried. It would be a waste of time.
After a moment of silence.
The Marquis of Dingyuan's wife made up her mind and said, "Then… let me consider this matter."
Although she said she would consider it, Bai Xianyu looked at her expression and understood. She smiled neither servile nor overbearing and said, "Then, please consider it. I shan't disturb you."
The Marquis of Dingyuan's wife sighed, nodded, and asked the maidservant to send Bai Xianyu out.
…
Bai Xianyu left the residence, but she did not see Green Pearl.
The carriage was gone, too.
She frowned and asked the servant guarding the Marquis Manor before following his gaze to see the carriage parked at the corner of the street.
Only a corner was revealed, but it was the carriage of the General's Manor.
Strange, why did the coachman park the carriage here?
When she reached the corner, she was pressed against the wall by a strong force.
The extremely familiar sandalwood fragrance wafted up to the tip of her nose. Bai Xianyu wanted to say something, but Xie Xingyun covered her mouth, tapped her acupoints, and carried her into the carriage.
Bai Xianyu was anxious. Why was he everywhere?
After putting her in the carriage, the carriage started to move.
After putting Bai Xianyu down, Xie Xingyun finally released the mute acupoint..
"There are many people outside. If you shout, everyone will hear you."
Bai Xianyu cursed him secretly for being shameless. Wouldn't her reputation be ruined if she shouted?
A man and a woman sitting alone in the same carriage. Moreover, they were already in a scandal.
"What do you want?"
Xie Xingyun slowly lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Because of the struggle just now, Bai Xianyu's clothes were in a mess, and her collarbones seemed to have been rubbed red by the fabric. The Moonlight Brocade was famous for its softness and smoothness, but it was not even 1% as delicate as her skin. Her voice was naturally soft, and even her angry tone was alluring.
Bai Xianyu watched as he covered her eyes with his hand.
Her vision turned dark, and her body became even more sensitive.
She wanted to escape, but she was frozen. Her body trembled like a butterfly.
And the man's palm was hot.
He said slowly, "You're not her."
