Chapter 9: Wait for Me

Yun Shu smiled in her mind like a villainess as she followed Bai Qin inside the mansion.

She wanted to teach these people a good lesson upon entering the mansion on Bai Yunxian’s behalf.

So she purposefully came one hour late. After that, she also bought her maid Ah’Luo along with her to play another drama with them.

The Bai Sister’s were also waiting for Yun Shu’s arrival at the hall.

Today every one of them has dressed up beautifully and had exquisite make-up on them to show up.

They wanted to show Yun Shu that Bai Yunxian can’t fight with them in beauty, so Yun Shu will lose his interest in her.

Also Bai Xun wanted to attract Yun Shu’s attention today by all means, so she dressed up like a doll.

But after waiting for One hour, which seemed to be like ages, they were also in haggard conditions.

As soon as Yun Shu entered the hall room, she saw the female ghosts that were wearing baking powders on their faces.

“Bai Qing Greets Your Highness!” the second daughter, Bai Qing bowed respectfully to Yun Shu as she smiled like a gentle flower.

‘Hmph! No one can match or compare to me in anything!’ Bai Qing was feeling proud of herself because of her quick wit.

Both Bai Lu and Bai Xun felt embarrassed after being dumbfounded all of a sudden by his appearance.

So they weren’t able to greet Yun Shu properly. The situation became awkward as they glanced at each other.

“Gree-Greetings, Your Highness!” Bai Lu and Bai Xun greeted her in a hurry as they bowed their heads.

But Yun Shu pointed at them with her fan as she turned her head aside towards General Bai and asked him with a sour and cold face, “Who are these beggars?”

Bai Qing, “…”

Bai Lu and Bai Xun, “…”

General Bai, “…”

‘Be-Beggar?’

‘What was he talking about?’

But Yun Shu’s face stayed the same as she stood there fanning herself as if there was some stink that was coming from them.

“You-Your Highness.” Bai Xun cried out as she was not able to hold on anymore in this position.

“Get up and help His Highness to get some refreshment!” Bai Qin roared at his stupid daughters angrily.

Then he turned around as he cupped his hands in apology.

“Forgive my daughter’s for their incompetence, Your Highness! Please sit down.”

Yun Shu directly went towards the family head seat as she sat down like an Emperor, full of grace and dignity.

“Where is Bai Yunxian? Is she not here?” Yun Shu scanned the room with her sharp eyes.

“She will be here in a while. Why don’t you take some refreshment first, Your Highness!” General Bai was being respectful towards Yun Shu.

She also knew the reason behind it, so she didn’t give any response to him.

“We shall talk about business first. Bai Yunxian is going to become my wife. But something else to ask from you as well, General.” Yun Shu spoke carefully as she spread the bait.

‘Does he want my special power as the Army that I raised for years? No way I’m giving it to him! I have already promised the army to the Crown Prince!’ Bai Qin became alert as he looked at Yun Shu warily.

Yun Shu also saw the anxiety on his face and smirked secretly.

Of course she knew what he was worried about, but she didn’t need his army.

Her Shi Long army was enough to remove his army from the battlefield very easily.

“Well, after our marriage, I want Yunxian to have full control over her dowry. And I want to take my mother-in-law to my Manor.” Yun Shu glanced sideways to see his reaction.

Bai Qin’s face changed drastically as his hands turned into fists.

“As you wish, Your Highness.” he agreed very quickly.

This was called killing two birds in one stone. Bai Qin was pretty happy to get rid of two pieces of garbage and trash altogether.

So he agreed pretty quickly, but this raised disgust in Yun Shu.

‘How can a man throw away their children and spouse so quickly?’

Just as Yun Shu was getting mad, a little sound woke her up.

Ding!

“Host! you have triggered a mission worth 500 merit points just now! Go to Concubine Ning’s courtyard this instant!” Chen Yi appeared at the exact time as he distracted Yun Shu from her thoughts.

“Worth 500 points? Is that woman doing something to Bai Yunxian?” Yun Shu’s face went as dark as Cloud at the thought.

“Yes yes, host. Now go and save him quickly!” Chen Yi also encouraged her to go and get back at the vile woman.

Yun Shu looked up at Bai Qin as a dangerous smile appeared on her face.

“Yunxian can wait. I would like to have a little tour around the mansion first.”

“Ye-Yes, Your Highness! Please come this way!” General Bai shivered when he felt the pressure in him. He didn’t dare to look Yun Shu in the eye as he made way for him to go out of the hall bowing his head.

Although Bai Qin was a General who fought in the battlefield, he became corrupted later on.

All the Yun brothers were known for their honesty and righteousness in the Capital. And Yun Shu was the most popular one among them.

And that’s why he cowered like this when he saw the noble appearance of Yun Shu, who was an honest and a great Scholar throughout the nation.

‘Chen, show the location of Concubine Ning’s courtyard!’ Yun Shu said the system in anxiety.

‘Right this way! Follow me!’

Chen Yi started to show her the way as Yun Shu flung her sleeves in the air and followed him out with a cold face.

‘Wait for me, Yunxian. If it’s really true that I came into this world just to save you from all the calamities you have suffered throughout your life, then I won’t disappoint you.’
