C13 Substitute marriage

The clouds in the sky moved quickly, as if it was going to rain and wind.

When Bai Muling came down, he was holding a small bag in his hands.

"This is the reward I promised you earlier." She walked to the chair and handed the chair over to Mo Xian.

"Thank you very much." Mo Xian did not bother to be polite, this was what she deserved.

"If there's nothing else, you should go back first." These words sounded like a command to be dismissed, Bai Muling reacted to it, but she did not intend to do so.

She was just a little anxious, if she did not hurry Mo Xian to leave, she was afraid of her. He would never be able to leave.

"Don't misunderstand me, I'm just worried about the weather outside. Look at the wind, it's going to rain later. It won't be good to be delaying you."

Mo Xian was generous, he did not think too much, he came to Hong Cheng in a hurry to find the Unholy Mirror, "Alright, I will be leaving first."

"Mother Huang, bring me my oil-paper umbrella." Bai Muling called out.

Mo Xian immediately stopped her: "Don't! Wood spirit, have you forgotten how I'm dressed now? A man with an oil-paper umbrella is like a sissy. "

Bai Muling was startled, and laughed helplessly: "I was confused, you be careful. "If you need anything, just come find me anytime."

At the same time, she felt that Mo Xian was a very interesting person. Sigh, forget it.

"Then I'll leave first. See you later."

Seeing Mo Xian's footsteps stepping past the threshold, Bai Muling's heart let out a sigh of relief.

"Please wait a moment."

An elegant yet calm female voice was suddenly heard.

Bai Muling's heart that had just dropped was once again in high spirits.

It's the Mother, she actually came down.

Hearing that, Mo Xian paused in his steps and turned around.

He saw a middle-aged woman standing at the foot of the stairs. She wore white fur leather and wore an elegant qipao. Her brows were extremely similar to Bai Muling. It seemed like this was the White Lady, and she must have been a beauty when she was young.

"This is White Lady, hello. I heard that you are sick, how can I trouble you to come down? "

"You are Ling'er's savior. I will not personally express my gratitude, but my heart is still not at peace." When White Lady walked to the main hall, his steps were a little shaky, but his posture was graceful.

The Bai Clan should have a good upbringing.

It was impossible for Mo Xian to stand at the door and chat with others, he could only return to his original position.

Bai Muling pulled White Lady's sleeve, but the latter only gently pushed her hand away, her posture did not change at all.

"What a lady." White Lady sized Mo Xian up, then he called for Huang Ma to bring another cup of tea and set some western style pastries on the table.

Standing at the side, Huang Ma was like a bolt out of the blue. This ? this was a girl, no wonder she looked so much less manly.

"Oh, you don't mind if Ling'er tells me everything, do you?" White Lady took a sip of green tea.

Since he already said it, Mo Xian didn't mind. He smiled and shook his head.

"I think it's going to rain outside and it's going to be a storm. If you don't mind, how about staying here for the night?"

Mo Xian looked down at the tea leaves in the cup, floating up and down with a sad and joyous expression.

Bai Muling stole the conversation: "Mother, Mo Xian still has things to do, don't delay him."

White Lady shot Bai Muling a glance, his eyes warning him.

"It's raining and the wind is blowing. We'll have to wait for it to stop." She then turned to Mo Xian, "What's more, Ling'er shouldn't have mentioned it to you, she's going to be married in a few days. You are a friend that she rarely makes after returning to Hong City. How about you stay and have a cup of wine? "

Mo Xian snickered, was she of the Hong Niang's physique? No matter where you go, people will get married.

However, there was a high chance that this was the plan for the app, so there was a chance that he might be able to find some clues regarding Unholy Mirror s.

Before Bai Muling could speak, Mo Xian nodded his head, "Alright then, I'll be troubling you for a few days, I'll be troubling you."

Seeing that she had agreed, White Lady's slightly furrowed brows relaxed, yet Bai Muling's heart was burning with anxiety.

"I'll get Mama Huang to clean up a guest room for you."

The White Lady continued to chat with Mo Xian, and Mo Xian realized that she was especially good at interacting with others, and was good at interacting with others. No wonder her family had such an imposing manner even though she was an assistant.

"Cough, cough." White Lady coughed a few times. Mo Xian realised that she was sick.

"White Lady should go up and rest first. There's still the wood spirit accompanying me."

At this moment, Mrs Huang came down to reply: "Madam, the rooms have been tidied up."

"Sure, then bring Miss Mo upstairs." With that, she returned to her room.

Bai Muling's tender white fingers forcibly pulled out a few wrinkles from the straight cheongsam.

Her mind was in a mess, she knew a bit about what Mother was scheming.

However, she had no choice but to accompany Mo Xian to the guest room, and when she had settled down, she would go back to White Lady's room.

Bai Muling entered the room. It was pitch black, you could vaguely see a figure lying on the bed.

She fumbled with the lamp, which reflected the warm yellow light.

White Lady's eyelids did not even move, "It should be Ling'er, if you have something to say, come over."

Bai Muling took the chance and walked over.

"Mother, I know what you want to do. But you definitely can't do this! "

"Why not?"

"Even though I advocate for the freedom of marriage, and don't want to marry a man I've never met before, I can't push Mo Xian into a fire pit either!"

White Lady suddenly opened her watery eyes and stared at Bai Muling.

"She is just a girl of unknown origin. Look at her clothes, she is just a passerby. If you don't want to push her into the pit of fire, then what should Mother do?! You are the only daughter of the entire Mother! "

Bai Muling immediately used a green tea cup to pour her a cup of warm water.

"Please speak properly Mother. Don't be agitated."

The White Lady calmed down and leaned on the bed, "How can I not be angry? It's all your fault, Dad. How can the little general of the Shen family be worthy of you?! To marry is to suffer. "

When he said till here, the White Lady's voice became softer by quite a bit, "Moreover, a child like you has always been strong. Look at how many years you have been out in the capital with your grandfather, and you have never reported your good news or worries. How can Mother be at ease about letting you marry into a place that eats people and doesn't puke!

Fortunately, not long after Ling'er returned from the Ancestor's house in the capital, very few people knew the appearance of the Bai Family's young miss.

"Then why don't you push your daughter, my savior, out?!"

"Didn't you say that Mo Xian is skilled in martial arts and that she can take good care of herself? Besides, we can just give her more dowry as compensation. No matter how many people there are, they can't even squeeze their way into the general's estate! "

If Mo Xian heard this, he would definitely curse, and not f * cking marry your daughter into it?!

Bai Muling said with a cold face. She did not want to harm others.

"No, if you insist on Mo Xian betrothing her, I will immediately tell her!"

"You! If you say it, you will no longer be my daughter! " White Lady was so angry by her that she almost choked and did not come up.

Bai Muling turned his head to look at her in disbelief, his eyes immediately reddened, as tears of grievance flowed out of his eyes. In the end, she didn't say anything and just ran straight back into the room.

During dinner, Mo Xian did not see Bai Muling, White Lady also said that she was not feeling well, in the huge dining hall, she was the only one. She casually ate a few mouthfuls and went to find Bai Muling.

Through the wooden door of the black walnut, he could hear the faint sound of sobbing from inside.

Mo Xian frowned, not knowing what had happened, so she turned and returned to her room.

Adjutant Bai wanted to get married, but the Bai Clan didn't have much of a reaction. Perhaps they had already arranged for the dowry. She didn't need to worry about this matter anyway.

It was just that after that day, Mo Xian could always see a nagging worry in Bai Muling's eyes.

Adjutant Bai had come back twice. He was a tall and sturdy man, and he always wore a dignified military uniform, looking very solemn.

When Mo Xian went out, he had gone to a few antique shops to ask about information on Unholy Mirror s. There were all kinds of versions, the most widespread version was a Midnight Killing Mirror.

If one looked at themselves in the mirror in the middle of the night, the reflection of their own appearance would become incomparably beautiful, but very soon, it would be swallowed up by the surface of the mirror. The more beautiful it was, the faster it would devour it.

He didn't know if it was true or false, but any rumor that could be passed down had more or less a prototype. It was just that during the process of dissemination, some information had been mistransmitted or exaggerated.

As the time for Bai Muling and Shen Little General to get married grew closer and closer, Bai Muling's mind became even more preoccupied.

During those few days when Mo Xian was asking around for information, he more or less heard people talking about little General Shen. He also heard that someone was an unruly and dissolute playboy, who probably wouldn't get anything good if he followed him.

Mo Xian subconsciously thought of that evil looking man in the Hundred Flowers Hall.

She thought Bai Muling was worrying about this, and looking at Bai Muling who was wearing the wedding dress in the mirror, she opened her mouth to say a few words.

"Wood spirit, if you get bullied, you must not endure it. Even if the general's estate has monstrous power, if they wish to leave, they will not be able to hold them back. "

Bai Muling was a woman with many experiences, her thoughts should be a little more advanced. It was because of this that Mo Xian directly told her to leave. No matter what, a woman's fate was still in her own hands.

Bai Muling, who was being consoled, forced out a smile and patted the back of Mo Xian's hand, "I'm fine."

Seeing that, Mo Xian did not say anymore.

The night before Bai Muling's wedding, the Bai Family prepared a sumptuous feast. The small and exquisite white wine cup was filled with wine that was offered, and all sorts of dishes were placed on the long table.

"It's been hard on you to accompany my daughter these days." "Come, let me toast you!" Deputy Bai raised his wine cup and toasted to Mo Xian from afar.

"You're too polite, I didn't help much." Mo Xian was already used to drinking wine in the 21st century, it was not a problem to her, and the small fruit wine did not have any effect on her, so she just opened her throat to drink it.

Bai Muling remained silent by the side, her usually captivating red lips devoid of any hint of color.

Her father knew of the Mother's plan, but he didn't stop her. Instead, he helped her carry it out.

To be honest, maybe she was also a selfish person. Otherwise, no matter what, she would have told Mo Xian.

The fingernails, painted rose-red, dug deep into the palms of her hands under the table, and now only pain could sober her up.

Mo Xian drank more than just a few cups as he took turns toasting the White Lady. His vision started to blur.

He shouldn't have drank so little, he shouldn't have been drunk.

Before she completely lost consciousness, she seemed to have seen a trace of shrewdness flash through White Lady's usually gentle eyes.
