The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

Chapter 141 Tied to a Tree

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" she began to mutter to herself.

Seeing herself naked with a fat old man who could be her grandfather beside her, she wanted to die.

Bai Xiyue wanted to escape from here quickly and get Bai Jinxin back.

She put on her clothes and went to the dressing mirror. When she saw the boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, her heart was moved.

She picked up a golden peony hairpin inlaid with gems.

He picked up another red gold jade bracelet with a plum blossom pattern. It was transparent and warm, full of water, without any other colors.

It was green and looked like a flowing spring, and it was obviously worth a lot of money. It was the first time she had seen such a good bracelet.

She caressed the bracelet lovingly and couldn't help but pick it up and put it on her hand.

She thought to herself: Now life in the Bai family has become a problem. There are only 100,000 taels of silver and ten shops left, but my younger brother needs to get married, so there won't be much left.

I have heard for a long time that Liu Baiwan is as rich as a country. Although he is a little old, he lives a good life. If I can serve him comfortably, then the warehouse will have to be moved to this yard.

However, I have to explain to him that I am not the one who should marry into the mansion, otherwise he will think that I am greedy for the money of the Liu family."

She took off the bracelet and put it back, went back to bed, took off her coat, leaving only her bra underneath, and began to cry.

Liu Baiwan also woke up. His body felt hollowed out that night, and he didn't know how much deer whip and ginseng he would have to eat to replenish it.

Bai Xiyue kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief and sobbing.

Seeing her smooth white back and the love marks on her body, Liu Baiwan felt itchy again and he sat up.

The blood-red plum blossoms on the fallen red handkerchief appeared clearly before his eyes.

Liu Baiwan smiled. She was indeed a virgin.

Young ladies from official families are different. When they cry, it looks like pear blossoms in the rain, so sad and graceful. Even their sadness is so beautiful that people can't look away and feel pity for them.

"Xiyue, don't cry. This old man won't treat you unfairly."

Bai Xiyue turned around and sobbed, "Master Liu, it wasn't me who should have married here. It should have been my elder sister. I don't know how it got to me instead."

Liu Baiwan's face immediately showed a trace of displeasure. He said patiently: "Xiyue, the engagement letter that matchmaker Li sent yesterday contained your birth date and name.

If you don't believe me, I will have someone show you the engagement letter. You are the eldest daughter of Yun Wanqing, the third lady of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, which means you are the legitimate daughter.

Now, you and I are already husband and wife. If you run back, I will not let you go and will demand all the betrothal gifts back with great fanfare.

Your father is a minister, but the fact that he sold his daughter for silver will become known to everyone, making him infamous and a laughing stock in the capital.

If you serve me well, I can promise that as long as you give birth to a son, I will make you my equal wife.

In the future, everything in the Liu Mansion, including the gold and silver that cannot be spent in several lifetimes, will all belong to your son.

This thing on the ground is given to you by me because your dowry is too shabby. I will have many more like it in the future."

Liu Baiwan used both kindness and force to brainwash Bai Xiyue. How could Bai Xiyue, a little girl, defeat that cunning old fox?

Liu Baiwan put on his clothes, picked up two bracelets from the box on the ground, turned around and sat down beside the bed.

He put the bracelets on Bai Xiyue's soft jade hands, "This pair of bracelets is an item from the royal family of Nanzhao Kingdom, worth more than 50,000 taels of silver. With the current strength of the Bai family, we can't afford it.

The ten shops I gave them are not in very good locations. I will give you ten good shops and transfer them to your name.

That would bring in at least 80,000 to 90,000 taels of revenue a year. What do you think?"

Bai Xiyue figured it out. Even if she married well, wouldn't she still be serving the man?

Rather than serving a young one, it is better to serve a dying one. At least you can get some wealth.

If only I could have a son, all this wealth would be in my name.

With tears in her eyes, Liu Baiwan pulled her into his arms, with a barely noticeable smile on his lips.

Liu Baiwan walked out the door and shouted, "Mrs. Lin, please take good care of Aunt Bai. If she needs anything, go directly to the housekeeper to get it."

"Yes, sir!"

Mrs. Lin is an old lady in the Liu family. No other concubine in the family has such an honor. This concubine Bai must serve her well in the future.

Liu Baiwan left the yard, and two maids and Mrs. Lin came in. "Aunt Bai, we are here to help you wash up."

Bai Xiyue came to the box and took out three gold ingots: "One for each of you. As long as you are loyal to me, you will get more benefits in the future."

The three of them quickly knelt down to express their gratitude, hoping that one day Aunt Bai would give birth to a son and become a successful official, which would make them all meritorious officials.

Bai Xiyue asked the two maids to go out and asked, "Mrs. Lin, do you know where to find a miracle doctor, besides the one in the capital?"

Mrs. Lin thought for a moment and said, "I have a distant relative who used to be a royal physician in the palace. He has now retired and returned to his hometown. If you are free someday, I will take you to see him."

Bai Xiyue was anxious, so instead of returning home on the third day, she went to the old doctor's house.

The old doctor found out from her pulse that she had drunk the contraceptive soup, but the dosage was not too much. As long as she took the medicine for half a year, there was still some hope.

White House

On the night of Bai Xiyue's wedding, Minister Bai stayed in the eldest lady's courtyard. The two chatted until very late, and even discussed the silver that would be used as a betrothal gift for their son's marriage.

Early the next morning, the servant in charge of cleaning went to the back garden. When he saw Bai Jinxin and two maids tied to a tree, he immediately shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

It was just the time for Mu Xiu, and the eldest lady and Minister Bai were called over, and Aunt Feng also came.

When the eldest lady saw Bai Jinxin tied to the tree, her head was buzzing. She roared, "Why are you here? Didn't you get into the bridal sedan and marry Liu Baiwan?"

Minister Bai ordered: "Quickly untie the ropes and let them down."

Bai Jinxin burst into tears: "Father, four masked men in black came last night. Each of them threw a handful of powder, and I didn't know anything. When I woke up, I was here."

The two maids had just woken up. They heard what Bai Jinxin said and started crying, "This servant also saw four figures in black, and then they didn't know anything."

The eldest lady reacted immediately: "Xiyue, where is my Xiyue? Come, come quickly, go find the eldest lady."

The two maids hurried to the eldest lady's yard, and after a moment, brought the two maids who served Bai Xiyue.

"Madam, when I went there, the eldest daughter was not there. The two of them were lying in the courtyard. They had been drugged and only woken up by splashing water on them.

The eldest lady's eyes were blazing with anger: "Where is your young lady?"

The two maids knew something was wrong. One of them said, "I only smelled a fragrance, and then I knew nothing."

Minister Bai ordered, "Come here, go to the Liu residence and find out if Miss Xiyue is there."

The eldest lady cried, "My poor Xiyue, who was that bastard who killed my daughter? If I find out, I will cut him into pieces..."
