Looking at Bai Aoxue meaningfully, Ye Zhaojue sighed and compromised: “Fine…you have grown up and you should have an opinion of yourself.”
Looking at Ye Zhaojue, Bai Aoxue wanted to say something but stopped. She knew that Ye Zhaojue didn’t want her to go back to that place where she was apt to get into trouble, but she must go back.
“Uncle…” Bai Aoxue said softly, but she didn’t know what she was going to say.
Ye Zhaojue stroked Bai Aoxue’s head and looked out through the window: “Aoxue, I won’t say anything. I know that you have your own choices and ideas. Anyway, as long as you think you’re right, I will support you.”
Bai Aoxue enjoyed the warmth that Ye Zhaojue gave her. Both of them were silent, and Mumian was standing aside quietly. She wasn’t willing to disturb this hard-won warmth.
In the end, Ye Zhaojue’s words broke this peaceful silence.
“Well, Aoxue, you should take a rest. I need to make preparations for your leaving.” Ye Zhaojue smiled slightly. Presumably, only Bai Aoxue could see his warm smile.
No one could imagine that such a warm-hearted smile would creep over the face of this soldier who was decisive and tough on the battlefield.
How lucky Bai Aoxue was?
“Sure. You can go ahead, uncle.” Bai Aoxue compressed her thin lips in a smile.
Ye Zhaojue left quickly without hesitation.
When he was about to leave the inner room, he heard Bai Aoxue’s voice which was pleasant but shy.
“Uncle, thank you.”
When Ye Zhaojue heard what Bai Aoxue said, he picked up his mouth and smiled then walked out of the inner room with big strides.
That day was a spring sunny day which shouldn’t be missed.
After Ye Zhaojue left, Bai Aoxue said: “Mumian, go to see Hongxiu and Wenxi.”
Although Mumian wanted to stay with Bai Aoxue, she should visit Hongxiu and Wenxi since they were also very pitiful. They even couldn’t move about now.
“Miss, I’m leaving, but you can’t move about on the floor now.” Mumian still worried about Bai Aoxue, so she exhorted her not to move around.
Bai Aoxue nodded and said: “I know. Don’t worry.”
Although Mumian heard Bai Aoxue’s guarantee, she still did not feel at ease. She kept looking back when she left.
After Mumian left, the door that was closed by her burst open immediately.
Looking at the furry body that was galloping towards her, Bai Aoxue picked up her smile slightly and said: “Chidian, I have no strength to fight back, so you can eat me now.”
Chidian came to Bai Aoxue then gently rubbed Bai Aoxue’s palm. After listening to Bai Aoxue’s words, Chidian looked up slightly. He glanced at Bai Aoxue disdainfully then continued to rub Bai Aoxue’s palm.
Bai Aoxue’s palms were cold all year round, but Chidian felt very comfortable when he was rubbing her palm. He even didn’t want to leave.
Bai Aoxue looked at Chidian. It seemed that Chidian was saying, “I won’t take the risk of your misfortunes when you are so weak.”
When Bai Aoxue was about to speak, Chidian quickly turned around then stood in front of Bai Aoxue. He curled himself slightly. His front paws dug the ground impatiently, and he glared at a spot fiercely.
He roared deeply as if he was warning somebody not to approach them.
Just when Chidian was about to rush, Bai Aoxue patted his head and said: “Chidian, relax, he is one of us.”
Chidian seemed to understand her words. He no longer intended to attack people, but he didn’t relax. He still stood in front of Bai Aoxue.
This was good because if someone was going attack to them, he could fight back immediately!
Bai Aoxue glanced at Chidian appreciatively and said: “I will give you meat as an award. Zhao, you can come out.” The previous sentence was for Chidian, but the latter sentence was for Zhao who hid in the dark.
When Chidian heard that he could eat meat, he was so excited that he almost rushed to give Bai Aoxue a hug.
Zhao walked from the darkness. Glaring at the man who came and went like a ghost nervously, Chidian did not dare to relax even a little bit. He knew this man. He was the bodyguard of that horrible man!
When Bai Aoxue saw that Chidian was scared still because of Zhao, she was quite surprised. Why was Chidian so afraid of Zhao?
She knew that Zhao was very powerful. Even Ye Zhaojue didn’t notice him when he was in dark. Bai Aoxue had already acknowledged that he was strong.
If she hadn’t been good at hiding in the preceding world, probably she wouldn’t have known when he arrived.
When Zhao looked at Bai Aoxue in the dark, he started to admire her for taming Chidian and making him so docile. Chidian was not afraid of anyone except Jun Yeyan when they captured him in Mobei.
“Miss Bai, Bai Suxue and Concubine Su have already had a countermeasure. They are only waiting to set you in trouble on your wedding day.” Zhao did not forget the purpose of his coming. He told Bai Aoxue the information that he had received.
He was also shocked about Bai Suxue and Su Qianqian’s plan. He was thinking whether he should tell his master this news.
If he told his master this news, probably Bai Suxue and Su Qianqian were to be burned to death by master’s anger, but he knew that even if he wouldn’t tell his master, they were about to die.
According to Bai Aoxue’s character, presumably she would deal with them as they dealt with her.
“Oh? Just two clowns. Tell me about their countermeasure.” Bai Aoxue gently raised up her eyebrows. That unruly appearance was extremely charming.
Zhao dared not to keep looking at her. He immediately lowered his head.
Bai Aoxue listened to Zhao’s report. The more she listened, the brighter her cold eyes were.
She didn’t expect them to deal with her with such a vicious plan.
Bai Aoxue smiled coldly. She disdained them even more in her heart.
“I didn’t realize that they have already hated me with all their hearts. How ridiculous it is?” Bai Aoxue sighed.
Zhao looked at Bai Aoxue who even started to laugh because she was too angry. He was also disgusted with Bai Suxue and her mother who were malicious even more.
“Miss Bai, what should we do now?” Zhao didn’t dare to act rashly. He asked for Bai Aoxue’s advice first even Jun Yeyan told him at the beginning that he should kill those people who hindered Bai Aoxue.
But Zhao still wanted to know Bai Aoxue’s thoughts. He wanted to figure out whether she was a wonderful woman as master said or a good-for-nothing!
Bai Aoxue didn’t know what Zhao was thinking. She thought for a while then said: “Since they go too far, I will play this game with them. We’ll see who the winner will be.”
Looking at Bai Aoxue who had a well-thought-plan, Zhao did not speak.
“Now, we don’t need to do anything. When the occasion is ripe, I will let them feel how painful it is to be despised by the public and rumors!” Cold light flashing across her eyes, Bai Aoxue said slowly.
Only she knew that how much Bai Aoxue used to suffer and how helpless she was! She would little by little!
When Zhao heard what Bai Aoxue said, he appreciated her even more. It could be seen that Bai Aoxue was very thoughtful since she did not act rashly. Instead, she waited for the most appropriate occasion.
When Zhao was about to ask Bai Aoxue whether they didn’t need to tell this thing to Jun Yeyan, Bai Aoxue spoke first.
“By the way, don’t tell this thing to Jun Yeyan. This is my private business. I hope that I can solve it by myself. I don’t need to bother him with such a trifle.” Bai Aoxue said faintly.
When Zhao listened to Bai Aoxue’s words, his impression of her became even better. In his impression, women always picked up the thread of conversations. No matter what happened, they were a weak group that needed other people’s help.
However, now, Bai Aoxue not only didn’t ask for Jun Yeyan’s help, but also didn’t allow him to tell Jun Yeyan this thing. It was no wondered that Jun Yeyan once said that Bai Aoxue had her own pride.
Perhaps this was her pride. No one could offend it!
Looking at Zhao who was deep in thought, Bai Aoxue said: “Everything is settled here. You just need to pay attention to the movements of people in Prime Minister’s mansion. As for the rest of the time, you can do whatever you want.”
After listening to her words, Zhao nodded and said: “Miss Bai, you can rest assured. If something happens, I will report it to you immediately. Please take a rest. I’m leaving now.”
Bai Aoxue nodded but didn’t say anything. She just continued to tease Chidian.
Mumian came soon after Zhao’s leaving.
“Miss, Hongxiu and Wenxi want to see you.” Mumian walked in and said carefully.
Bai Aoxue raised her eyebrows: “Don’t they still have injuries? They should not move about now.”
Mumian nodded and said: “Yes! I told them it’s not too late to see you when they feel better, but they insisted on coming to see you right now. Now they are waiting outside.”
“Let them come in.” Bai Aoxue guessed some of Wenxi and Hongxiu’s purposes.
When Mumian was permitted, she jogged to open the door.
After a while, Bai Aoxue saw that Hongxiu and Wenxi hobbled in with the help of two little maidservants.
When they saw Bai Aoxue, they felt guilty and were moved, but they were distressed even more, because Bai Aoxue’s face was much paler than theirs. Her small face was pale and even transparent, and her natural red lips had no color.
“Miss! We are really sorry that we didn’t protect you well!” Wenxi and Hongxiu said at the same time.
Bai Aoxue sighed slightly. Looking at those maidservants who were blaming themselves, she said: “No matter for what purposes you are by my side, as long as you don’t betray me, I won’t let you suffer a little bit injustice!”
“After all, these are my family affairs, but you were brought to trouble and even got injured. How can I blame you?” Bai Aoxue continued after a pause.
After Hongxiu and Wenxi listened to Bai Aoxue’s words, they were stunned. They just looked at Bai Aoxue without blinking. Only they knew the shock that Bai Aoxue brought them.
“Miss…, Hongxiu and I have been treated as servants from childhood. We’re sold by traffickers then trained as killers to steal intelligence. No one has ever treated equally like you, Miss!” Wenxi said. She wiped her tears and looked at Bai Aoxue seriously.
Bai Aoxue did not speak. In this case, she only needed to be a listener, which was the best respect for them.
“This time we were sent to Miss, and we’re just two chess pieces that can be sacrificed at any time. Now, Miss is so kind to us that we don’t know how we can repay you. We just wish that we can follow you from then on and be your swords that you could use to point at anyone and any direction!” Wenxi and Hongxiu looked at each other at the same time then said in chorus.
