Chapter 165: Fetching Water with a Basket
"Remember, the most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart."
Bai Moxuan looked at quite a few people, and visible confusion emerged in his eyes. He really couldn't tell which people were truly kind and which were hypocritical.
He looked at Bai Qinghuan for help: "Sister?"
Bai Qinghuan patted his shoulder and said, "Don't try to guess what other people are thinking. There are so many people in the world. If we try to guess one by one, we will be exhausted. As long as we are upright, we will have nothing to fear."
"But what if someone wants to harm my sister?"
Bai Qinghuan saw that his little guy reacted very quickly and was still worried about her. She smoothed the worry between his brows and burst out laughing:
"If a dog jumps on you and bites you, can you bite it back?"
He glanced at Yun Yuyan again, the meaning was self-evident.
Bai Moxuan also looked over: "Oh~"
Now I understand.
"Sister said that we should not provoke others and be kind to others, but as long as someone provokes us, we will definitely fight back, right?"
"Xiaoxuan is really smart, but sometimes we are generous when we don't bother with animals."
Bai Qinghuan couldn't help but pinched Bai Moxuan's little face:
"Also, we must be on guard against others."
Bai Moxuan protested and took away her mischievous hand, but still said:
"Sister is amazing. She understands so many profound principles."
Her eyes were full of admiration, silently expressing that sister is the best, sister is the greatest, and I like sister the most!
The sister and brother flattered each other, and Bai Qinghuan was so amused by him that her heart blossomed.
Yun Yuyan was very angry. Bai Qinghuan's words just now were definitely a veiled criticism of her, but she had no evidence.
If you refute it, then you are just taking it personally.
Dare you call her a mad dog, Bai Qinghuan? Just wait for me!
She endured this anger for the time being.
Bai Qinghuan originally wanted to bypass her and leave. Yun Yuyan had been sacred and unattainable in the hearts of the young men in the capital before, but now with the look of gritting her teeth, how could she be unattainable?
A woman with evil intentions will sooner or later be ruined by her own schemes and plots!
Oh~
But no one knew what was going on in Yun Yuyan's mind. She actually took a step sideways and blocked her way.
He bowed perfunctorily: "Greetings to the Princess Rong'an."
Chi Songtao, who was not far away, saw the two people in a stalemate and seemed to smell the smell of gunpowder, so he wanted to come over to ease the situation.
But Chen Kuan stopped him and said, "Don't go. Why are you meddling in the affairs of a girl?"
"But they look like they're going to quarrel."
"Then you can't go either."
Chen Kuan thought that it was time to let Chi Songtao see Yun Yuyan's true character.
It's always better to wake up early than to be hurt all over.
He is really worried about his brothers!
He didn't relax his hands at all. Chi Songtao was thin to begin with, so he couldn't break free.
Bai Qinghuan didn't notice the two people's little movements. She was stopped and had to stop.
Looking at Yun Yuyan inquiringly, is there something wrong with this person's brain?
My brain circuit is completely different from others.
"No need to be polite."
"I heard that the county lady was exempted from kneeling by the regent? Is it true?"
She had to think more about what Chi Ming said yesterday.
When did he ever care about women?
But when she met Bai Qinghuan, she asked the reason and was exempted from the punishment of kneeling?
What if he really likes Bai Qinghuan?
So she suppressed the hatred in her heart and wanted to test it out.
Bai Qinghuan raised an eyebrow, a plan came to mind, and a half-smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Don't you know everything? As soon as you left, the Regent came. When he saw me kneeling on the official road, he stopped to ask questions, and then directly pardoned me."
Yun Yuyan clenched her teeth and the words seemed to pop out from between her teeth.
"It's actually true! The county princess is so lucky. With the favor of the regent, even the queen mother doesn't care about her!"
"Miss Yun, why do you say that? This county lady is very respectful to the Queen Mother. The Regent is just discussing the matter at hand. Some people are trying to sow discord, but in the end, they are trying to get nothing out of it."
"Or does Miss Yun mean that the Regent is disrespectful to the Queen Mother?"
When the word "Regent" came out of Bai Qinghuan's mouth, Yun Yuyan could no longer suppress the jealousy in her heart.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why did I say that the Regent was disrespectful to the Queen Mother?"
If the news that the Regent had confined the Queen Mother got out, the Regent would think that it was her who spread it because she was the only one who heard it and left the palace.
Only then did she reach a desperate situation.
"Then why doesn't he care about others but only you?"
After asking this question, Yun Yuyan felt a little regretful.
Bai Qinghuan just wanted to reply to her: Because Chi Ming likes me, he was still in the carriage at that time.
But he absolutely couldn't say this, so he just looked at Yun Yuyan with a half-smile.
Yun Yuyan knew that she had said too much, and then calmed herself down, smiling again:
"The Queen Mother will grant me and the Regent a marriage tonight. What do you think of this, County Lady?"
Bai Qinghuan gave her a smug look in return, and then softly uttered four words: "Do you need this county lady to congratulate you in advance?"
She took Bai Moxuan and took a detour to leave: "Xiaoxuan, some people always dream during the day. What medicine can cure it?"
Bai Moxuan thought about it seriously: "Maybe a basin of cold water?"
"Hahaha...you're right."
She admitted that she said that on purpose.
It is better for Yun Yuyan to make random guesses, so that she can be sure to take action against her.
As long as she dares, I won't be polite~
Yun Yuyan was stunned by her smug look.
I couldn't help but ask Meixiang: "What does Bai Qinghuan mean?"
"She is just a small county lady, what is she so proud of?"
She is the most noble girl in the entire capital. Everyone knows that the Queen Mother likes her and will let the Regent marry her. Why does Bai Qinghuan act so proud in front of her?
Could it be that she really was favored by the Regent?
"She said I was daydreaming?"
No, she wants to find her sister. Tonight, she must bring disgrace upon Bai Qinghuan.
Meixiang couldn’t figure it out either. What did Princess Rong’an mean?
"Don't think too much, young lady. The Queen Mother will definitely do what she promised you."
Afraid that he might not believe it, he added:
"The girl will get what she wants."
I don’t know whether he was talking to himself or to his daughter.
Chi Songtao stood there almost crying.
"She's getting married."
The girl he likes is getting married, but the groom is not him!
Heartache, sadness...
All the complicated thoughts finally turned into an expression of wanting to cry but having no tears.
Chen Kuan patted his shoulder and consoled him, "Yes, she is devoted to the Regent. You should find another good partner as soon as possible."
"She's not a good match."
Yun Yuyan is not worthy of marrying the Regent, right?
I just hope the Regent is not blind and can see her true face.
"Chen Kuan!"
"Am I wrong?"
"Besides, look at her eyes. She looks like she wants to eat Princess Rong'an. This night will definitely not end well."
