Chapter 12: Teaching a Lesson

Bai Xun flushed and became bold as she heard that Bai Yunxian confessed the truth.

‘If it’s like this already, then… should I confess to His Highness now?’

But Yun Shu suddenly had an evil idea of teasing Bai Yunxian as she smirked like an evildoer and suddenly pulled him closer as she asked, “Then… What do you think of me? Do you want this marriage to happen, or not?”

‘What-What is he doing in front of so many people?’

Bai Yunxian blushed hard when Yun Shu’s breathing tickled his face.

But he tried his best to remain calm as he lowered his head and said, “I-I would like to marry Your Highness!”

Yun Shu frowned after hearing the answer. So she called the system.

‘Chen Yi, what is my favorability point right now?’

‘535, host! You got 35 points for helping the Male Lead!’ He confirmed the points to Yun Shu.

Then, he must be in despair to get free from this hell-like place.’

Yun Shu thought as she looked at Bai Yunxian’s calm face and smiled.

“Then… General, do you think I should forgive Concubine Ning for acting foolishly in such a situation? Or do you think I should just ignore this?” She looked back at Bai Qin with a calm face.

“But-But Your Highness…” Bai Xun was desperate to get his attention today no matter what.

‘Damn it! This b*cth is making His Highness even more angry! I need to stop this immediately!’

“You damned girl! You still dare to show your face in front of His Highness!”

“Someone bring that stupid girl away from here and confined her in her room to reflect on her wrongdoings!” Bai Qin roared at the servants nearby to take Bai Xun away.

Snicker!

Yun Shu snickered at Bai Qin as she asked him, “General, do you think this much is enough for this humiliation that my fiance suffered just now?”

Bai Qin knew very well how brutal Yun Shu can become when it comes to punishing someone.

But he didn’t want his favorite Concubine to get punished by such a brutal and ruthless man like him, so he gritted his teeth and turned around to yell at the servants.

‘If he were to get angry now, then not only he would punish Ning, the engagement would fall into uncertainty. I can’t let this happen!’

“Servants! Come and take Concubine Ning away from the courtyard and throw her in the east courtyard! And Bai Xun, go back to your court and reflect on yourself! Now!”

Two of the servants nearby came to drag Ning Yue away as she was still screaming, “My lord! I’ve made a mistake! Please forgive me, this won’t happen again! Lord!”

“So noisy!” Yun Shu grumbled as she gripped her hand on Bai Yunxian’s wrist.

Surprised, he looked aside to see Yun Shu’s side profile who was frowning right now.

‘Was he doing this for me?’

He was grateful as he looked away from Yun Shu’s handsome face, but he didn’t take his hand away from Yun Shu’s grip.

Ding!

“Congratulations host! Your merit points are going up with full speed! Continue the hard work!” Chen Yi revealed a bright smile full of joy.

Yun Shu became relaxed when she heard the notification from the system.

‘Looks like I can achieve merit points by helping him in any way!’

She happened to achieve the points, because she can use them for the exchange of Bai Yunxian’s life events.

Ning Yue was dragged away as per Bai Qin’s instructions. Bai Qing saw that the situation was not favorable for them, so she grabbed Bai Xun’s shoulder as she whispered in her ears from behind.

“Don’t try to say anything and leave with us now, His Highness seems to be mad. You won’t achieve anything by living here. Come with sisters!”

“It’s alright if we fail in this plan, we can make another plan in no time!” Bai Qing assured Bai Xun as Bai Lu nodded to support her words.

Bai Xun also saw the situation and was scared right now. But when she was about to leave, Bai Xun saw Yun Shu’s hand that held Bai Yunxian’s hand.

Her eyes flashed with malice and jealousy in an instant when she saw the intimacy between them.

‘Bai Yunxian, I won’t forgive you for taking away what was mine! Never!’

‘Host why did you let them go just like this? They deserve to get cut off into pieces and then fried then thrown into fire until they turn ashes. Then throw them in the river!’

Chen Yi was furious as he was boiling in anger.

‘Wow! What a ferocious system I have!’ Yun Shu went speechless.

“Calm down. I’m not done playing with them yet! Just let them alone for now.” Yun Shu explained her plan to Chen Yi as he puffed his his and turned away from her.

Bai Xun turned around as she run away with anger, both the Bai sister’s followed her from behind as they kept calling her by name.

‘Ha! The troublemakers are finally gone! Host, you should give your attention to Male Lead now.’

Chen Yi sighed in relief when he saw them gone.

‘Yeah! I guess I should do that!’

She said casually as she turned towards Bai Qin with a smile.

She let go of Bai Yunxian’s hand as soon as he was out of danger after they were gone.

But when Bai Yunxian felt that Yun Shu had let his hand go off, he suddenly felt a little disappointed.

The tingling sensation and warmth left by his hand was very comfortable…

Bai Yunxian looked at his hand a little before turning it in a fist as he looked at Yun Shu again.

“General, it seems that my fiance isn’t given enough freedom here, she can’t even have any justice.” Yun Shu scorned Bai Qin for not being a filial father, surprising Bai Yunxian once more.

‘What does he want to do?’
