Chapter 12 - Ten Years Of Death

Everyone was puzzled as to what was going on, but no one dared to act rashly.

Qing Er was at the yellow stage of the innate realm; it was impossible for Bai Rouyun to have dealt with her, only their Lord could have done it, so something did not add up.

"Even after your Lord made it clear that I am the young Madam, your sister decided to attack me, intending to kill me. Had it not been for my dear hubby, I would have been sent to the underworld now.

"It is fine that she dislikes me, but my status and rank within the Yun Palace had just been announced, and she still made such a move. It is clear that she holds no respect for the Lord."

Qing Yi gritted her teeth; her eyes were lowered so that no one could see the anger within.

"There is a misunderstanding," she tried to explain, "Qing Er would never have harmed you; she just wished to test your strength."

"A yellow stage innate realm practitioner wants to test an Earth Realm, Acquired Realm practitioners strength? How shameless!" Bai Rouyun smiled.

Although no one had said precisely what had happened, the shadow guards were not stupid. To become a shadow guard in the Eternal Shadow Palace, they all held an above-average talent and intelligence.

They all understood that it was Qing Er who had attacked Bai Rouyun. That Qing Yi had tried to shift the blame, and that Li Moyun had stepped forward to save the day.

"Madam, I beg of you to let Qing Er go," Qing Yi was not willing to let go. She understood things a bit better than Qing Er, and while it was Li Moyun who had acted, he had done so on behalf of Bai Rouyun. As long as she forgave them, he would let it be.

Qing Yi and Qing Er were, after all, his subordinates through many years; he would not be too ruthless to them.

Unfortunately, Qing Yi had underestimated the cruelty of both Bai Rouyun and Li Moyun.

"Tut, tut, coming here to seduce my husband. When failing, she tried to kill the legal wife. I have never seen anyone as shameless as this before," Bai Rouyun laughed with a sound that was clear as pearls.

The words caused Qing Er to spit out even more blood, and Qing Yi to become gloomy.

"Miss Bai, I refer to you as Madam because of the Lord’s orders, but do you honestly think anyone here will ever accept you as the real Madam of this palace?

"Your cultivation level is too weak. You are merely at the Acquired Realm, only too easy to be killed. You will never be anything else than the Lord’s weakness!

"Not to mention that you were deaf, mute, and dumb for so many years, who knows who might have tainted you before? You don’t think that you can pretend to be pure. I already heard that the bedsheets from the wedding chamber were clean, no bloodstain could be found!"

This time, not only Bai Rouyun’s face turned ugly, but also Li Moyun was furious.

"You think she is tainted?" He asked, his voice so low and dangerous that everyone began shivering. They had never seen their Lord this furious before.

"Bai Rouyun was poisoned on our wedding night, which resulted in her regaining her wits and ability to cultivate. She could suddenly speak and hear again, how could I possibly force myself onto a woman who had just regained her mind? She didn’t even know who I was!"

Hearing that Li Moyun had not touched Bai Rouyun made them all stunned. Why would he protect her like so if she was not even his woman?

"I told you this before, but let me say it once more. In this lifetime, I, Li Moyun, have one wife and one wife only, and her name is Bai Rouyun. Anyone who dares to go against her is against me!"

The shadow guards were shaking in their core, but the two women who were indeed in despair were Qing Yi and Qing Er. How could they have expected that their master would be such an infatuated species?

"Rouyun, what do you want to be done with these two people?" Li Moyun asked with pampering in his voice, but although Bai Rouyun was moved, she was also feeling slightly annoyed that he had kept such beauties by his side over the years.

"They are your beauties," she said with a shrug of her shoulders. "You deal with them."

"Guards, throw Qing Yi and Qing Er to the punishment hall." he signed. The punishment hall had been filled ever since Bai Rouyun had arrived. Did she have to stir up such waves and storms in his Yun Palace?

After witnessing the two being dragged away, Li Moyun took her hand and returned to the bridal chambers once more.

Here, he went into the closet, where he picked a red dress alongside some jewelry.

"I prefer white," she muttered, but she still accepted the clothes and got ready to change.

"Oh right," she suddenly looked at Li Moyun. "What year is it?"

Li Moyun looked at her, but because he knew of her situation, he was not too perplexed over her question.

"The two thousandths and thirtieth year of the golden dragon."

Bai Rouyun was shocked when she heard this. She had been dead for ten years exactly!

Seeing her shocked expression, Li Moyun frowned, but she quickly focused again and started to push him out the door. "I can’t change with you in here," she said somewhat bashfully, and eventually, Li Moyun had no other option than to see her close the door behind him and lock it.
