Chapter 657 Attitude towards one's beloved
After passing the imperial examination, Bai Dingfeng studied at the Imperial Academy and was surrounded by the sons of various officials.
In the Northern Prefecture City, his father was the prefect, and Bai Dingfeng was always treated with great respect. However, in the capital, he was nothing more than a nobody.
He was valuable in the Bai family, which is why the old lady treated him differently.
He was confident that he would pass the imperial examination in March next year, but Bai Dingfeng did not want to leave the capital, so he might ask the Prince of Luo for help.
My sister is right. He went to Wenjun Tower because he admired the poet's talent, and his chance encounter with the Prince of Luo was purely coincidental.
"Oh my goodness, how come your mind is full of poetry and songs?"
Bai Youran was anxious and reminded Bai Dingfeng that the marriage to the Prince of Luo was something she had reserved for herself. If she became the Princess of Luo, she wouldn't have to worry about not having connections in her family.
The eldest brother's main task was to appease Wei Lan and marry her as soon as possible.
When Miss Wei entered the family, the Bai family, being related to the Empress by marriage, would undoubtedly have a much more prestigious status.
"If only Father could be transferred from the North to the capital."
With both parents alive, at least there's someone to rely on, which is more reliable than the rest of the Bai family.
Before arriving in the capital, Bai Youran still harbored resentment towards her parents, paving the way for her eldest brother by wanting him to marry a scoundrel. However, since arriving in the capital, she has come to understand her parents' situation to some extent.
"Your sister-in-law, she..."
Going is fine, but it wouldn't be appropriate to bring Li Ruoxue along when secretly meeting with Wei Lan.
"What sister-in-law? Li Ruoxue is a murderer."
Bai Youran looked down on Li Ruoxue. She made her own sister take the blame and die for a man. Apart from having some money, she was a useless good-for-nothing.
Recently, Li Ruoxue has caused quite a bit of trouble when she goes out, treating the capital city as if it were her own little corner of Yingcheng.
"Big brother, haven't you realized yet? Li Ruoxue is a menace."
Marry a virtuous wife. If you marry someone like her, the Bai family will be implicated and killed by Li Ruoxue sooner or later. The marriage is just a temporary measure. Does my brother really intend to spend his whole life with her?
"Ruoxue has a bad temper, but I've already married her..."
Bai Dingfeng wanted to climb the social ladder, but he wouldn't go so far as to crush Li Ruoxue. He was a soft-hearted person with little opinion, especially since Li Ruoxue was now carrying his child.
He just didn't say it, and didn't tell Bai Youran yet.
"With your temper, it'll be difficult for you to rise to a higher position."
A man who is ruthless and cruel is not a true man. Lin Shusheng also abandoned Chen Shi and Lin Yuesha and faked his death. For more than ten years, he ignored his wife and daughter and enjoyed a comfortable life in his home.
"Do you know how shabby Chenjia Village is? Lin Yuesha's house was half collapsed. If it weren't for the Jiang family's help, Lin Yuesha would still be stuck in Chenjia Village."
Therefore, one should abandon what should be abandoned. If one is really soft-hearted, one should find an excuse to divorce Li Ruoxue and keep her as a mistress. Wei Lan is not a very smart person, so it doesn't matter.
How do you know Miss Wei is in love with me?
Bai Dingfeng didn't see anything amiss. Their feelings for each other remained within the bounds of propriety, and they rarely saw each other after the last time they saved someone.
"Are you a blockhead? Women understand women's thoughts best. Do you have to be so direct?"
Bai Youran despised Bai Dingfeng. Anyone with eyes and ears could see through Wei Lan's thoughts. Pretending to casually inquire about Bai Dingfeng's news, that was how she treated her sweetheart.
After all, Bai Youran had been through it all; she had once taken a liking to Doctor Liao.
"good."
After considering it for a moment, Bai Dingfeng gave himself another excuse: he was just curious and wanted to broaden his horizons; he had no other intentions. In any case, everything turned out unexpectedly.
The brother and sister reached a consensus that the first problem was getting rid of Li Ruoxue.
"Ruoxue, I can't be with you today."
Bai Dingfeng's lie was not very smooth, so Bai Youran continued, "My elder brother suddenly remembered that he had arranged to meet with his classmates to discuss knowledge. Why don't you go back to the mansion first, sister-in-law?"
"What about your younger sister?"
Li Ruoxue raised an eyebrow, her expression calm.
The brother and sister were walking ahead of her just now, they must have something to say behind her back. She has already married Bai Dingfeng and is carrying the Bai family's child in her belly, but she is treated as an outsider.
Don't forget, she's rich. With money, she can bribe Bai Dingfeng's servants and Bai Youran's maids.
Li Ruoxue was well aware of the ulterior motives the two were harboring.
Bai Dingfeng thought he could climb the social ladder by saving Miss Wei, but that depends on whether Li Ruoxue gives him the chance!
“Sister-in-law, Yue’e has been taken to the Wei family. As you know, she just lost her mother and is grieving. I want to go and keep her company.”
Bai Youran tugged at Li Ruoxue and said that someone had to go home to inform their grandmother.
"Oh well."
Li Ruoxue sneered inwardly; the real show was yet to come.
“In that case, I will take my maid to Shuangfuji Restaurant for a meal before returning to the manor.”
Li Ruoxue turned and left, and the spies she had set up in the shadows immediately followed the brother and sister.
Li Ruoxue was very hungry, but she couldn't eat. She took her maid to a nearby teahouse to wait for news, wanting to see what the Bai siblings were up to.
She had warned the two of them beforehand that she was not someone to be trifled with.
After waiting for a meal, Li Ruoxue's informant came to deliver a message.
Bai Youran bought a set of men's clothing and went to Taipingfang with Bai Dingfeng. Meanwhile, Li Ruoxue bribed Wei Lan's maid to send a message that their agreed meeting place was Wenjun Tower.
"Hahaha, Wenjun Tower, is it the number one male prostitute in the capital?"
Li Ruoxue rubbed her hands excitedly; she knew what to do.
"Young Madam, what are your plans?"
It's unbelievable that her husband, along with her younger sister and another scheming young lady from the Wei family, went on a date at Wenjun Tower.
"Of course it has to be known by everyone. Doesn't the Wei family have the Empress backing them up? If the news that their own sister is seeing male prostitutes gets out, what do you think will happen?"
Li Ruoxue smiled knowingly. She hadn't had enough of the man she had her eye on yet, and there was no way she would make room for an outsider.
If Bai Dingfeng dares to betray her sincere heart, she will turn the Bai family upside down and make them suffer terribly, otherwise she will not be happy!
"I will follow your instructions."
The eyeliner was also very happy, feeling like she was about to do something big.
...
As the moon rises above the willow branches and the lanterns are lit, Taipingfang is at its liveliest.
Lin Yuesha followed Luo Wang and Xu Da off the carriage, and the three of them swayed and headed straight for Wenjun Tower.
This time, Xu Da had a cold expression on his face, without using any makeup to cover it up.
"Cousin, don't you need it?"
Lin Yuesha said she had a cosmetic box that she could lend to Xu Da.
"No."
Xu Da refused. He had been forced to come to this place, and he no longer wanted to dress up like a ghost. Besides, if his mother really came, he would have a legitimate reason.
Nothing is more shocking than the truth. When the time comes, the mother and son will go to the battlefield together to fight the enemy and see who kills more!
Xu Da thought to himself that he wished he could hurry to Wenjun Tower.
"You're strange."
Xu Da has been acting strangely since dinner. Could it be that he was agitated by revisiting Wenjun Tower?
