"Young Master." After finishing his conversation with his aunt, the boy bowed and took his leave, returning to his room and beginning to recall what his aunt had said to him.
"Ya Shi, Bai Yueyue, Li Jieyue and Bai Zhenhao's daughter?" Even after more than twenty years, Li Jieyue and Bai Zhenhao are still remembered in the capital. In the eyes of boys, these two are the disgrace of the imperial family.
Now he's being asked to marry those two's daughter? This granddaughter, whom the Li family doesn't even acknowledge, isn't even worthy of living in the capital. Is she really qualified to be his wife? Does his aunt really think that the other families will try to stop this marriage because they're worried about it posing a threat to them?
In the eyes of the boys, whether it's the Li family, the Bai family, or any other family, as long as they can marry into the imperial family, they've achieved great success. The only reason other families would object to a marriage alliance is that they don't want the Li family to rely on the imperial family to prosper again.
Is Father hoping to punish them for their past rudeness through this?
From the boys' perspective, Bai Yueyue was nothing special. Even if it was to make it easier to torment Bai Zhenhao and Li Jieyue, being able to marry into the imperial family was a blessing for Bai Yueyue.
"Go and find me the information on the Bai family in Asia City, as well as the information on that Bai Yueyue."
"Young Master, Lord Di Ningning has already ordered someone to deliver the information to me," the boy's personal attendant said respectfully.
Sure enough, Auntie always paid extra attention to things concerning Li Jieyue.
As for the reason, the boy knew it. His aunt, Di Ningning, was from the same era as Li Jieyue. Di Ningning only became the number one woman in the capital after Li Jieyue eloped. Before that, no matter who it was, regardless of gender, she would be overshadowed by Li Jieyue.
As for his father, the current emperor, it must be because he doted on and indulged Li Jieyue when she was his fiancée.
"Then give it to me."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Bai Yueyue, who was reviewing her lessons at the Bai Family Manor, suddenly felt a chill.
"Mei'er, do you feel that unpleasant feeling, like being stared at by a rat?"
"Miss, please watch your words," Hu Meier reminded her. This wasn't a room, and Bai Yueyue absolutely couldn't use such rude language.
"Huh? But I think my words were pretty good."
Well, I still haven't mastered aristocratic language.
Fortunately, despite being busy lately, Bai Yueyue remains proficient in the course and believes she has no problem passing.
As Bai Yueyue had predicted, things turned out just as she had expected.
Li Jieyue nodded and approved Bai Yueyue's performance in Monday's assessment.
"Despite being extremely busy lately, she hasn't fallen behind in her classes," Li Jieyue commented.
"Thank you for the compliment, Mother."
Afterwards, Bai Yueyue had Hu Meier hand over the reasons she had written for saving the village, as well as the list of people who needed to be executed, to Li Jieyue's personal attendant, who then passed it on to Li Jieyue.
Upon receiving Bai Yueyue's letter, Li Jieyue examined it on the spot, which made Bai Yueyue's heart leap into her throat, giving her the feeling of being back in high school and having her exam paper graded by a teacher on the spot.
"Yes, I will inform Qin Limin that the execution will take place tomorrow. Yueyue, you need to be prepared." After saying this, Li Jieyue left.
"Phew." Relieved, Bai Yueyue looked at the execution list that Li Jieyue had returned and was somewhat dazed. She hadn't expected that such a simple sentence would lead to the execution of dozens of people.
Moreover, because Bai Yueyue was in charge, she had to personally attend the execution this time.
Wait, is it really that fast?
In fact, they were already prepared, and all Bai Yueyue needed to do was handle the problem and then give the order.
Back in her room, Bai Yueyue lay down on the bed, feeling weak and dejected. Hu Meier silently closed the door and stood in the corner.
Then, Bai Yueyue's phone rang.
"Hello, how can I help you?" Without bothering to read the name, she answered the phone in a refined tone.
"...Bai Yueyue, are you pretending to be jealous? If you talk to me like that again, I'll expose the fact that you accidentally went into the girls' restroom in your first year of high school."
"Oh no, please don't!" Zhang Yuyao's voice on the other end of the phone startled Bai Yueyue awake, and she didn't even care about her manners anymore.
Seeing this, Hu Meier wanted to tell Bai Yueyue to maintain her composure, but in the end she gave up.
The young lady has already suffered so much and is so sad. If someone can cheer her up, that would be enough. After all, Madam and Lady Zhao Shuli won't see it.
"That's more like it, haha. Remember this, Lao Bai. I'll eat your words for the rest of my life if you keep this secret."
"Having you is truly my blessing."
You should be grateful to have me as a friend.
"I am indeed very happy," Bai Yueyue said with a smile that did not conform to aristocratic standards.
She was really happy to have Zhang Yuyao as a friend to whom she could find emotional support, and she didn't have to pretend to be a noble lady in front of Zhang Yuyao.
"Ugh~ Disgusting, Bai Yueyue. I knew you had the potential to be with men and women, didn't I? Look how quickly you've adapted." Zhang Yuyao teased from the other end of the phone. As a friend, she could tell that Bai Yueyue wasn't happy at the moment.
"Reduplicated words, annoying and disgusting." Bai Yueyue didn't care and retorted, "I'm prettier than you, you're just jealous."
"My breasts are bigger than yours."
"...I'm a boy, so I don't need it."
"No, that's nonsense."
"At least I used to be."
"Then I'm older than you now."
"Get lost!" Bai Yueyue broke down.
Pshaw, what do you mean by "breaking down defenses"? She used to be a man, after all, she doesn't care about these things. She'll find the magic to make him bigger sooner or later. Don't misunderstand, she just doesn't want Zhang Yuyao to look down on her, that's all...
