C11 Old Age and Vigor
He looked at Hong Ling, who was in a hurry to ask outside, and said with a slightly angered tone: "When the time comes in the future, you are not allowed to disturb the county prince because of the matters in the princess' room. No matter what it takes, let the county governor handle it himself. "Moreover, you servants must also work hard. Do not let others think that you are a group of useless people …"
When it came to matters, he was always swift and decisive. Sometimes, the servants would talk behind him about him, saying that the Duke of Baiyun and the Royal Consort of Baili Begonia were indeed a pair made in heaven and earth. His unsmiling expression, his cold and old-fashioned personality, and his arrogant attitude, were all alike to each other.
"Yes, yes, this servant understands. This servant will withdraw now …" Hong Ling quickly took a few steps back as she bowed repeatedly. She was afraid that if she ran too slowly, the country princess would whip her until her flesh blossomed.
Everyone in the city knew that the Godly Whip of the Imperial Concubine Baili was unique and quick. It could be said that even Bai Yuncheng couldn't win against her. Then, who would dare to offend this female Yama? Nowadays, appearances are all lies. Don't think that if you see a fairy from the nine heavens, you will truly treat her as a fairy from the nine heavens. You must be careful.

Hong Ling ran back to Bai Lingxue's chamber. After walking for a while, she felt embarrassed to go in. What if the princess asked her about it? Could it be that not only did he not invite Bai Yuncheng over, he was even scolded by the county prince's imperial concubine?
After hesitating for a long time, he suddenly heard Bai Lingxue mumbling to herself in a low, demonic voice, "So the Underworld and the Underworld are no different from each other. There is no difference between the living and dead …"
Wan Yue, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was frightened. She screamed and then kneeled on the ground, begging with a teary voice, "Princess, what kind of life or death? Don't speak nonsense like that. Your servant will be scared to death …"
She quickly pushed open the door and shouted, "Princess, don't you dare think too much. Although that princess has a very rampant advantage in terms of power, you are the real owner of Chiang City, and as long as you become strong, she will immediately scram if you tell her to scram. So, the princess doesn't need to think too much about it, if she wants to die, she should also … "It should be that …" Hong Ling suddenly stopped here.
When she heard that the wall had ears, she could only blame her own mouth for not closing. If these words were to spread to the county wangfei's ears, then wouldn't it be strange for her mouth to tear it apart?!
Although Hong Ling was the 'old man' by Bai Lingxue's side and had served her for ten years, and only that county princess, who was a raider, was able to understand the awkwardness of living under others' shelter, the county princess was very thick-skinned. Not only did she have to turn around, she even had to give orders to these servants, as if she was the number one mistress of the city. What's her grandmother's business? As expected, people were easily bullied. It was all because the princess Bai Lingxue did not have a backbone. She could not afford to shoulder her entire family and had to listen to the guise of the fake Duke Bai Yunlai.
However, there were some words that were easy to come up with in his mind, but he couldn't say them out loud …
"It's the middle of the night, you're all so noisy …" The door suddenly issued out a "dong dong dong" as expected. Accompanied by the knocking was a man's ice-cold voice. "It's getting more and more outrageous …"
With that, the three people in the room were silenced. The three of them disappeared at the same time.
"Open the door …" The man knocked on the door a few more times. Outside the room, he frowned in confusion.
Since when did the people in the princess' room become so noisy? None of them had the slightest bit of gentleness. It was so noisy at night like a sparrow. They really should chase those two girls who had misled the princess out of the princess' residence. However, they would still need the princess's approval.
Bai Yuncheng felt that it was too tiring to be his big brother. He was out there, receiving all the large and small broken words from Chuncheng. While he was at it, he was also worried about his little sister, who was also taking care of his new bride, the Baili Begonia.
He knew that his sister had always been on bad terms with the Hundred Miles Flower, but he still hoped that his sister's close maidservants could be more open-minded and help to persuade her.
Bai Yuncheng's handsome face looked like it was carved from jade. Standing under the moonlight, the faint shadow of the Gardenia Flower reflected his slender snow-white figure. He looked pretty, but was even colder than moonlight.
"It's over …" Hong Ling was so scared that she covered her mouth. She didn't know if what she said was heard by Bai Yunlai, who used an angel face to cover his demonic soul.
"Big brother …" Bai Lingxue was also surprised, but she was definitely not alarmed. She scrambled off the bed and staggered to the door to open it. Sure enough, she saw her brother, Bai Yuncheng, standing outside the door with a familiar figure.
"Big brother, I was wrong. I deserve to die. Just hit me and curse me. I'm not human …" Bai Lingxue opened her arms and wrapped them around Bai Yuncheng's neck, weeping and crying on her own.
"Lingxue, what happened?" Bai Yunlai was at a loss for words. In his impression, his sister, Ling Xue, had never cried so loudly before.
He still remembered that when Bai Yuncheng and Begonia came to Chuncheng, Bai Lingxue was also crying and gasping for breath, saying that her brother didn't care for her sister anymore and wanted to help others. Bai Yuncheng had spent a great deal of effort in dealing with his little sister, whom he could not scold, but her crying had only been to blame Bai Yuncheng for beating him up. Bai Yuncheng really hadn't blamed himself, because his little sister wasn't someone who could lower her head and admit her wrongs …
"Ling Xue, don't cry, don't cry, it's not your fault, it's your brother's carelessness that did not take good care of your emotions." Bai Yuncheng embraced Bai Lingxue and entered the room. Then, he pushed Bai Lingxue onto the couch and sat her down, carefully helping Bai Lingxue wipe her tears off with a handkerchief from her hands. At the same time as he did so, he also calmly glanced at her, and this glance was like a sharp blade stabbing into her heart, causing her to take a step back before falling onto the ground.
Wan Yue didn't know what kind of 'terrorist attack' Hong Ling was going through. She held her up and chuckled. "Is this what they call dumping?"
"Come, let's go out …" Hong Ling's legs were still shaking from being helped up. She stood still next to Wan Yue and then grabbed Wan Yue's Luo Xiusheng and dragged her outside.
As a result, Bai Yunxiao and Bai Lingxue were the only ones left in the room.
Bai Yuncheng carefully looked at Bai Lingxue's face and discovered that her eyes were swollen from crying. He felt a pang of heartache as he ran his hands over her head, messing up her hair, and then reprimanded, "Look at you, you're already 16 years old, but you're still the same as you were when you were five or six. I suspect that there's something wrong with your kitchen recipe, so how can I let you just eat without growing up …"
(What a cold joke …)
"Brother, am I dreaming? Was it a dream? " Bai Lingxue's tears fell once again as she looked at her brother, Bai Yunxiao, leaning in front of her. She wanted to stare at her brother without blinking. She wanted to carve her brother's smile into her heart and never let it disappear.
"It's all because of big brother's bad luck that you had such a nightmare. Everything is fine now, everything is fine now …" Bai Yuncheng felt rather helpless. He didn't understand what kind of dream his sister had. How could she be so frightened? Was it related to him?
He had thought that his sister had recently become annoyed with him, so she would come and pick a fight with him every day. Every time, she would not stop quarreling until the sky turned upside down. He also thought that since his sister wasn't satisfied, the administrative authority would all be in the hands of his fake brother. His sister wanted to control the power by herself. However, as an elder brother, he wasn't determined to seize power. It was an important matter, and once his playful younger sister took power, the citizens of Chengdu would suffer.
Take the princess' kitchen for example. Her sister had hired all the famous cooks within three hundred miles of the city for a high salary, and the amount of food she had wasted throughout the day was enough for several families to eat. Although the city was rich in resources, the nearly two years of war had exceeded Bai Yuncheng's expectations.
However, his sister was born with an honorable identity and didn't know how to deal with the hardships of the world. As an elder brother, he couldn't be so stingy and even interfere with his sister's daily life, right?
"No, big brother, I am already eighteen years old, how could I be sixteen?" "You're still saying that it's not a dream, but a dream …" Bai Lingxue suddenly recalled the fact that her brother's words did not match the truth. She bluntly put her finger into her mouth and fiercely bit down.
Aiya, it hurts …
Not dreaming...
However, didn't it say that ghosts don't have bodies and don't know pain?
The tears in Bai Lingxue's eyes froze. At this moment, her mind was blank, leaving her at a loss.
"Ling Xue …" Bai Yunxiao did not expect Bai Lingxue to bite his finger so fiercely. He took over Bai Lingxue's hand with a pained heart and looked at the bright red blood that dripped out of the little tiger's teeth before forming a circle on the back of Bai Lingxue's hand.
Bai Lingxue's skin was especially white, so white that it was transparent, and so white that it was very bright. The green veins could be vaguely seen on the back of her hand, which increased the transparency of her skin and the degree to which it could be broken.
"Ling Xue, I know you don't like Begonia. Moreover, you're blaming your brother for angering Golden Ear Sea, causing our Chieftain City to lose the peace that we had in the past. "But I really love Begonia. As long as you're willing to let her off the hook, no matter what you want me to do, I'll do it with all my power, okay?" Bai Yuncheng discovered that his bravery could only be used on the battlefield. Once he faced his little sister's temper, he would feel a great sense of defeat.
