Chapter 34: She Didn't Want to Get Married Too
That day at the Imperial College, he couldn't see it clearly. Coupled with his emotions, Xie Xingyun did not notice anything amiss. But now that he looked at it carefully… This was clearly something that the current Bai Xianyu could not do.
Her needlework in the past was not too good, but it was definitely not this exquisite.
A thought appeared in his mind. Xie Xingyun slowly tightened his grip on the pouch, his eyes deep.
In another courtyard of the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor.
Bai Yu'er slowly woke up. Before she was fully awake, she felt a sharp pain in her butt and almost fainted again.
The door was pushed open and a maidservant came in with some gauze, "Miss Bai, you're awake."
Bai Yu'er said with difficulty, "Who are you? Why am I here?!"
Her tone was agitated and she was trembling in fear.
"This is the guest room of the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor. Eldest Princess Jing An saved you, and asked a doctor to apply this medicine for you."
Bai Yu'er immediately relaxed. "I see."
The maidservant took a clean gauze and changed the dressing for her, "Miss Bai, don't worry. His Highness said that you can recuperate here before going back. After all, you had been injured in our residence."
Bai Yu'er nodded and asked, "What's your name?"
"The maidservant's name is Yue Lu."
"Alright, Yue Lu." Bai Yu'er lay on the couch, feeling both hate and fear. She had offended the Seventh Princess the moment she entered. That vicious woman actually wanted to get people to beat her to death. She was still very afraid. "Is the Seventh Princess still in the residence?"
"She's no longer around." Yue Lu looked at Bai Yu'er's skin and flesh that had been torn apart and could not help but remind her, "This Seventh Princess is determined to get our Young Marquis. If it weren't for the fact that the Eldest Princess hasn't relented on her stand for a long time, I'm afraid the Emperor would have directly bestowed the marriage. Others can't dream of it."
Bai Yu'er gritted her teeth secretly. There was no chance. Why didn't she believe it?!
Thinking of the glimpse she had in the courtyard, she was extremely moved. It would have been fine if it was anyone else, but it just had to be a man as handsome as Xie Xingyun. She would not hesitate even if she was like a moth flying into a flame!
She was injured and had the chance to come into contact with him!
…
Kingdom-Stabilizing General's Manor.
Bai Xianyu returned to Pear Fragrance Court and sat on the stone bench with an earthenware hot-water bottle in her arms. A few strands of tassels fell from the pale-colored lotus-leaf cushion.
On the clean rice paper, she held a brush in her hand. The brush was engraved with a landscape painting of flowers and birds. It was embellished with expensive jade. It was extremely luxurious.
"Miss, what are you doing?" Green Pearl looked at the names on the paper and asked in confusion, "Isn't Young Master Lin the young master of the Marquis of Dingyuan's family? Why did you remove his name?"
Bai Xianyu sighed and put down her brush. "I'm choosing a husband for myself."
Green Pearl was even more surprised. "Could it be that the Marquis of Dingyuan's wife is dissatisfied with Miss today?"
When she and Miss went to the residence, the Marquis of Dingyuan's wife had personally come out to welcome them. She was extremely enthusiastic, and she had thought that Young Marquis Lin was the future Master.
"It's probably ruined." Bai Xianyu warmed her hands and said, "It's my fault for thinking too idealistically. Which son of an aristocratic family is willing to get married so late?"
It was understandable that the Marquis of Dingyuan's wife had concerns.
After saying that, Bai Xianyu thought of her kind and pure brothers. Each of them was more pure-hearted than the other. Eldest Brother was already 22 years old and did not have anyone by his side. Second Brother had been in the martial arts world all year round, but he was also good at talking. There was even less of a need to talk about Third Brother and Fourth Brother. Third Brother had a deep mind and avoided women like snakes and scorpions. Fourth Brother, when he was 10 years old, said he wanted to grow old with the crickets he raised.
Actually, she did not want to get married either. After getting married, she would not be as free as she was now as a girl.
