Time flies, and a month has passed in a flash.
The Marquis's residence seemed calm on the surface, but Bai Linglong's heart was like surging waves.
Stroking her slightly bulging belly, her eyes were full of determination. She knew that the Marquis' Mansion could not accommodate her and the child in her belly, and she had to leave as soon as possible.
At this moment, the cold electronic voice of the system sounded in her mind: "Host, it has been detected that Aunt Li and Bai Xinyao are plotting to hire a killer to take your life on the way to the temple tomorrow."
Bai Linglong sneered, her eyes flashed with a sharpness: "You came just in time, this is a perfect time to leave.
Since they want to play, I will play with them. ”
Aunt Li dressed up carefully and walked briskly into the study of Marquis Bai Zhentian.
With a flattering smile on her face, she said in a tender voice, "My Lord, I have been unable to sleep well these past few nights, thinking of going to the temple outside the city to pray for you, wishing you a prosperous career and great blessings.
I plan to take the eldest and second young ladies with me tomorrow. What do you think? ”
Bai Zhentian put down the book in his hand, looked up at her, and nodded slightly: "You are thoughtful. Please be careful on the road and take good care of them."
Aunt Li was secretly pleased with herself, but her face remained respectful: "Thank you for your concern, my Lord. I will definitely bring the eldest and second young ladies back safely."
Coming out of the study, Aunt Li's eyes flashed with resentment, and she whispered to herself: "Bai Linglong, you little bitch, this time you will die!"
Soon, Aunt Li sent a maid to inform Bai Linglong.
The maid came to Bai Linglong's courtyard and said respectfully, "Miss, Aunt Li and the Marquis have agreed that you and the Second Miss will go to the temple together to burn incense and pray for the Marquis tomorrow."
Bai Linglong looked calm and said calmly, "I understand. Go back and tell Aunt Li that I will leave on time tomorrow."
After the maid left, Bai Linglong raised a mocking arc at the corner of her mouth: "Auntie Li, do you think you can plot against me?
Let's see who laughs last. ”
That night, Bai Linglong used spatial teleportation to quietly enter the storeroom of the Marquis' Mansion.
Looking at the piles of property, she said coldly: "These should belong to me. Since the Marquis ignores me and allows you to bully me, I will take them all away."
After that, she methodically put the belongings into her own space, and then used the special functions of the system to restore the scene to its original state without leaving a trace.
Early the next morning, two carriages were parked outside the gate of the mansion.
Aunt Li and Bai Xinyao were sitting in the gorgeously decorated carriage in front, both of them with unconcealable excitement on their faces.
"Mother, this time Bai Linglong is definitely finished. Once she dies, the Marquis' Mansion will be ours and the world will be ours!"
Bai Xinyao said excitedly, holding Aunt Li's hand.
Aunt Li smiled complacently: "Of course, I spent a lot of money to hire a famous assassin in the martial arts world. Plus, I tampered with her carriage, so she can't escape even if she has wings!"
On the other side, Bai Linglong got on the carriage at the back alone with a calm expression.
She had already made up her mind and was ready for everything, radiating confidence and composure.
The convoy moved forward slowly, and when it reached a narrow mountain road, Bai Linglong's carriage suddenly made a loud "creaking" sound, and the body of the carriage shook violently and then stopped.
The driver came running over in panic: "Miss, it's bad, the wheels of the carriage seem to be broken, and it can't move!"
Bai Linglong sneered in her heart, knowing that Aunt Li had done a "masterpiece", she said calmly: "Go to the front and tell Aunt Li and the Second Miss to go first and don't have to wait for me."
