C6 To Overlook Everything
"Mn, it's none of your business. Go in and serve Ling Fei." Jin Yinghai waved his hand lazily.
"Yes …" The maids were most afraid of seeing an imperial concubine. Now that the prince had ordered them to enter the house to serve Ling Fei, they couldn't wait to enter the house so they could avoid this fierce-looking imperial concubine.
The female attendants could not wait any longer and rushed into the room. They had to close the door tightly before coming to the bed and carefully helped Bai Lingxue up.
At this moment, the sounds of conversation could be heard from outside the house.
"Your Royal Highness, Bai Lingxue, the princess of a fallen nation has just received the reward and is now so arrogant. I'm afraid that in the future, the palace will not be at peace …" This was the haughty voice of an old princess.
"With a virtuous and virtuous princess like you around, what use is a chicken dog?" The Third Marquis replied in a weird tone. However, how could such an answer make people eat more and more of the wrong stuff?
A young maid, who was combing Ling Xue's hair, had already understood the profound meaning behind these words. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Shh …" Cui'er rolled her eyes, and softly rebuked, "Do you want to die?"
When the wangfei ate the prince's sobs without any preparation, her face darkened, her face twitched a few times, and then she angrily said, "The prince has been speaking without proper etiquette all day, and he even likes to lose interest in things. How can he live up to the royal brother's increasing nurture?" After finishing her questioning, she gestured towards the maidservants behind her and ordered, "All of you, break into the door and charge in. See how this wangfei will uphold family law and dignity today!"
"Yes." With the prince standing guard here, the domineering servants who were standing next to Princess Luo Yili had somewhat calmed down. Their reply was no different from the usual majestic ones.
"Who dares …" The prince was stingy with his words. He only said two words to suppress the group of dog slaves.
"Your Highness, on the first day of marriage, the new side concubine delayed the time, causing everyone to stand in the wind and wait. Those who dare to be angry don't dare to say anything. If I don't teach her a lesson today, how can I convince the masses?" Every time Luo Zhili got angry, her face would turn ferocious.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened with a creak. Bai Lingxue walked out of the room leisurely. It turned out that Bai Lingxue remembered Luo Yili's voice. It was the owner of that voice that had shot a cold arrow at him the other day, causing Chu Junping to be seriously injured in order to protect her and also forcing her to be held hostage.
Bai Lingxue hadn't said a single peaceful word to Jin Yinghai ever since she was captured. Therefore, other than humiliating her and treating her like a doll, Jin Yinghai was also unwilling to tell her anything about Jun'er and Chu Junping, as well as the common folk of Chengdu.
However, the sudden appearance of the Royal Consort Luo Yili had awakened Bai Lingxue's dead heart. After some careful thought, no matter how much she tried to resist, she was still unable to shake off the fact that she was a puppet in the hands of Jin Yinghai. As long as she did not die, this misfortune would not end. And while she was still rational, in order to protect Bao`er and the people of Xiancheng, she did not want to escape responsibility by death.
As such, rather than getting tired of being toyed with like this and die of hatred, it would be better to learn from that cowardly bastard and climb up step by step to gain enough freedom for himself, Bao`er, as well as the citizens of Ching City. In fact, if he could personally chop Bai Yuncheng's murderer, Jin Yinghai, into a thousand pieces, then that would be the right plan.
Back to the main topic.
Speaking of which, there was the malevolent princess who was shouting outside the door. Due to the delay of the auspicious hour, the maids in the room dressed up much faster. At this moment, they had already taken care of everything for Bai Lingxue.
Therefore, Bai Lingxue was dressed in her best attire as she stood in front of Luo Zhili. Although her eyes were dim and her face was haggard, her naturally gorgeous appearance was adorned with beautiful decorations.
"Prince, aiyo …" Earlier, Bai Lingxue had walked out expressionlessly, but when she arrived in front of Jin Yinghai, she pretended to slip and pounced into Jin Yinghai's arms. A faint fragrance wafted into his nose and Jin Yinhai subconsciously caught Bai Lingxue. However, he choked on the fragrance and the gentle breeze brought up by her sleeve, causing him to lightly cough a few times.
"Your Highness, this matter was caused by you, yet you pushed Xue'er into the limelight. Don't you feel the slightest bit of heartache? Look, Xue'er has already become so emaciated in these few days." Her body and arms snuggled into Jin Yinghai's embrace like a cute little kitten. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair and slender wrists that looked as if they would snap with a touch, and even more so rendering the words' emaciated 'out of her mouth.
As Jin Yinghai embraced Bai Lingxue, he recalled the wave after wave that he had wished to continue, and he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild again.
He didn't even know what was going on with him. He had clearly thought about it, if he could capture the culprit who killed the flower, Bai Lingxue, he would personally execute her with his blade.
But later on, when Bai Lingxue was truly brought over by him, he could not bear to let her go. He often consoled himself by saying that it was because of Bai Lingxue's pitiful appearance that caused him to let her live.
Since he could not bear to kill Bai Lingxue, looking at her delicate appearance, Jin Yinghai came up with an idea that could both vent his anger and torture Bai Lingxue endlessly. That was, he would have Bai Lingxue serve him in the place of Begonia, and he would play with her all day long.
Bai Lingxue was truly a pure and clean girl. To put aside the fact that she had killed Begonia with a venomous heart, she was usually very pleasing to the eyes.
Only, as she said, she was a delicate person, with thin shoulders and long, slender knuckles. Other than the fleshy areas where the flesh was supposed to grow (of course, this was a secret that Jin Yinghai had only recently discovered), he really looked like a skeleton at first glance.
Furthermore, ever since Bai Lingxue had been captured, she hadn't been able to eat even two or three bites a day. Not to mention that she had been forced to swallow the food with great difficulty while tears streamed down her face due to Jin Yinghai's coercion. Thus, that small face which was originally the size of a palm was now so thin that only a pair of big, watery eyes remained. At this moment, that pair of big eyes were looking lovingly at Jin Yinghai and looking pitifully at him. This kind of sweet expression could be considered as one that Jin Yinghai had never had since the creation of this world.
Of course, Jin Yinghai wasn't a fool, he naturally wouldn't naively believe that Bai Lingxue had been conquered by his "hard work" and his charisma. He could only think that Bai Lingxue had suddenly become smarter after Luo Zhili's interrogation …
Bai Lingxue had become smarter, and had even learned to snuggle and act like a spoiled child in the arms of Golden Elegance Sea. This made Jin Yinghai overjoyed.
It could be said that Jin Yinghai had returned with the captive of an eighteen-year-old princess. Furthermore, the princess was still an inexperienced child, so it could be said that Jin Yinghai had picked up a great deal of benefits.
Although Jin Yinghai's appearance was extremely evil, he wasn't a person who liked to force others. In his circle of life, Begonia was the first woman he had ever loved. After that, aside from Begonia, he didn't want to see any other woman. Although he married Luo Yili in the end, it was all to fulfill his father's last words.
His male chauvinism had always been deeply rooted in his heart. He didn't give up on Begonia; he still wanted to marry her as his secondary wife. However, Begonia had a fierce personality and abandoned him, so he hated Begonia and gnashed his teeth in anger. Thus, he changed, becoming uninhibited and unrestrained, liking to linger around the borders of the world.
And now, in order to take revenge on Bai Lingxue, this was the first time he tried to use force to possess a girl that he already belonged to.
Moreover, this girl, Princess Lingxue, was a beauty known to every household in the sixteen kingdoms. Thinking about it, it was most appropriate for her to take care of him in the place of that ungrateful Begonia.
Jin Yinghai didn't understand. Why was Lingxue so fond of Bai Yuncheng, yet remained indifferent? Was it because Ling Xue was much younger than the Begonia and didn't have a mature woman's charm, or was it because after ten years of being together, Bai Yuncheng no longer felt anything new towards Ling Xue? Perhaps, before his death, the Old Duke had left his last words, that Bai Yuncheng would take Lingxue as his own sister and not allow him to have any designs on Lingxue?
Sigh, the last guess seems to make more sense. I heard that when the Old Duke passed away six years ago, Bai Yuncheng changed his surname to 'Lu'. He followed the Old Duke to 'Bai', and from then on Lu Yuncheng changed his name to 'Bai'.
"Cui'er, cover Ling Fei with a red veil, and the wedding will be held as usual." Jin Yinghai used a bit of strength to straighten Bai Lingxue's body. Then, he gave Cui'er a look so that she could enter the house and take out her red hair.
"Yes." Cui'er happily obeyed, because every time she saw the beautiful Princess Ling Xue's heartbroken appearance, she felt waves of pity and heartache. Moreover, this was not enough, the prince of her own, Jin Yinghai, also wanted to add oil to the fire and mistreat Princess Ling Xue, which made these servants fear, afraid that one day, the beautiful princess would suddenly die and disappear from this bright world. What a worrisome thing this would be!
However, things were better now. A faint smile unexpectedly appeared on Princess Lingxue's face, while endless yearning, infatuation and pampering flashed in Jin Yinghai's eyes. If that was the case, the Third Prince wouldn't cruelly and ruthlessly torture the princess anymore, right?
"Prince, what if someone says it's hard to listen to me?" "You know very well that I have a very thin face …" Ling Xue ignored Luo Yili's murderous gaze as she continued to shake Jin Yinghai's arm and kept mumbling. He even quietly threw a contemptuous look at Luo Yili.
