Chapter 10: What’s Going on Here?

General Bai also ran after him as he went out of the hall.

At the same time,

A girl dressed in an exquisite dress and a simple but beautiful and stunning face was kneeling on the ground looking at the floor quitely.

The girl was actually Bai Yunxian, who was kneeling in front of the courtyard, looking forward to what will happen next.

‘Since you are already here, I’ll give you a chance, Yun Shu. Don’t disappoint me.’

A glint flashed across his eyes, but no one noticed this because of his lowered eyelids.

The vast courtyard looked very elegant and beautiful with full of Cherry blossoms around the whole courtyard, but she didn’t have the time or any interest to admire its beauty.

Bai Xun was crying while sitting on the lady’s thigh as the other two sisters stood by her side of the chair.

This is the outer side of the residence, where Bai Yunxian was kneeling in front of them while lowering his head in silence.

The lady that was sitting in the chair was very beautiful, and the exquisite dress and ornaments made her look even more gorgeous.

Her Brown hair was tied with a beautiful hairpin, but her yellow eyes were now narrowed as she was looking at Bai Yunxian.

“Do you know what you did wrong, Yun’er?” her voice that was like a light feather came out like a sharp needle to stab people.

Bai Yunxian remained silent as if he was a dead person.

‘I didn’t do anything wrong, I also don’t need to confess anything.’

Silence is always the best.

But Ning Yue was getting more angry by the time that Bai Yunxian

‘That b*cth has become pretty arrogant after the proposal came. I need to teach her a lesson to let her know her place!’

‘Does she think that Prince Yun will come here to save her as well?’

Her corner of lips turned up into a Mocking smile as she looked at the kneeling Bai Yunxian before her with a satisfied smile.

“Ah’Ruo, slap the Eldest Miss for me to help her reflect on her mistake!” She declared as she lifted up her chin arrogantly.

‘Since you don’t want to beg, I’ll show you no mercy!’ A vicious glint flashed across her eyes.

The maid Ah’Ruo became excited after she got permission from her Mistress to teach Bai Yunxian a lesson.

She hated those noble women that always acted arrogantly, Even Ning Yue. But she didn’t have the courage to do anything to her, so she was happy to be able to vent her anger on Bai Yunxian.

The other Bai sisters snickered at Bai Yunxian secretly as they stood aside to enjoy the show.

‘This is what you get for being so arrogant!’

However, he remained completely silent. Just like the atmosphere before a storm, completely silent and steady, counting his time as he kept on kneeling.

Just when the maid was about to hit him, a deep and cold, penetrating voice came from behind him as his corner of lips slowly went upward.

“What’s going on here?”

***

Yun Shu was hurrying towards the courtyard of Concubine Ning as she asked Chen Yi the location of the courtyard.

“Show me the map, Chen Yi!”

“Right away!” Chen Yi cooperated with her as he went to look for information.

Very soon, a map opened in front of Yun Shu, so she went towards the south corner per the map instructions.

‘It’s really good to be able to use modern technology in ancient times like this!’

General Bai didn’t know why, but it looked as if Prince Yun was trying to find something.

‘That’s not the point now! I didn’t see the betrothal gifts when he came here just now. I need to know where he kept the betrothal gifts first!’ Bai Qin’s greedy eyes flashed as he started to talk with Yun Shu with a gentle voice.

“Your Highness, there is something important I wanted to ask you about.”

“Hmm…” Yun Shu wasn’t focusing on him because finding Bai Yunxian was her first priority right now.

“I was about to ask Your Highness, If you don’t mind… I didn’t see any betrothal gifts here just now!” Bai Qin said carefully.

Yun Shu stopped in her tracks as she looked at the front, and her face grew colder than before.

Bai Yunxian was kneeling in front of this beautiful courtyard full of cherry blossoms. But the scene before her didn’t match with the beauty at all.

Bai Yunxian was kneeling, so Yun Shu only got to see his back. She quickly went forward, curious about what her ‘bride-to-be’ looks like as well.

Yun Shu went forward to call the maid out, “What’s going on here?”

The maid’s hand stopped in the mid-air as she turned around to see who called her.

Even the Bai sisters and Rong Yue became scared when he saw the person that was coming with a stone beautiful face.

‘What was His Highness doing here?’

Bai Qing quickly regained her senses as she vowed to Yun Shu and asked him with a sweet voice, “What brings you here, Your Highness?”

“Just came to admire the flowers. Am I not allowed to come? Or… is there something that you do not wish to show me?” Yun Shu replied with a bright but dangerous smile.

Rong Yue also stood up by now, she was sweating buckets as she knew that he was definitely angry from his tone.

“This humble servant greets Your Highness! Sorry for showing something unsightly!” she also quickly bowed to her as she apologized.

“What was all this? Why did you made my fiancee kneel down?” Yun Shu asked them with a grim face.

Then she walked towards Bai Yunxian and stopped in front of him.

“Get up, Miss Bai.” She spread her hand to him as she said it with a gentle voice.

Bai Yunxian saw the callused hand that came in her sight as he forgot to respond all of a sudden.
