Qin Zhirou’s body stiffened. Under Bai Jingyuan’s gaze, she slowly propped herself up and trembled as she wanted to kiss his lips.
If he was happy, she could save her father, right?
However, she did not hear the mockery in the man’s tone.
In the next second.
Someone grabbed her neck.
Tears quickly rolled down Qin Zhirou’s face as she looked at Bai Jingyuan in fear and pain.
“How dare you.”
Qin Zhirou whimpered a few times and grabbed his hand weakly.
There was some despair in her eyes.
Bai Jingyuan narrowed his eyes and slowly tightened his grip. “I hate being schemed against the most.”
There was clearly something wrong with the water in the bathtub.
She squeezed out a few words with difficulty. “Yes… I am sorry.”
However, her father had been in prison for a long time and she could not even see him. He had raised her. Even if there was a chance, she wanted to grab it with all her might and not hesitate to pay any price.
Now it seemed she was not so lucky.
Bai Jingyuan wanted to strangle her to death for a moment, but at this moment, Qin Zhirou slowly closed her eyes and revealed a relieved smile. Forget it, she would accompany her father.
Qin Zhirou felt a lump in her throat.
She would first go to the netherworld and burn a warm charcoal fire for him.
On the day of his execution, she would pick him up and bring him home together. It would be better than living in this cold world.
Just as she thought she was going to die, the man suddenly let go.
“Put on your clothes and disappear now.”
Qin Zhirou was stunned for a few seconds before she lowered her head and got off the bed stiffly. The marks on her body were especially obvious on her snow-white skin.
Some areas even caused her pain to the point that she was numb, but she did not dare to stop.
She was afraid that if she stopped, she would make him even more unhappy.
Bai Jingyuan also got up and put on his clothes.
Qin Zhirou forced herself to put on her clothes. Her fingers curled up slightly by her sides. “About my father…”
“What does it have to do with me?”
Bai Jingyuan’s voice was especially cold.
Qin Zhirou’s face instantly turned pale.
“But we’ve already—”
Bai Jingyuan smiled and said in a gloomy tone, “So, did I force you?”
Qin Zhirou did not expect this outcome at all and was stunned for a moment.
“Guards!”
She stood rooted to the ground in a daze and stared at Bai Jingyuan.
The door was quickly pushed open and a few guards entered. They scanned the room in shock.
Then, they looked at Bai Jingyuan and Qin Zhirou in disbelief.
Bai Jingyuan’s expression remained the same. “Take her away.”

“Miss, I used the spice you mentioned last night and slept so comfortably.”
Green Pearl held a bowl of thick soup in her hand. “There were no strange dreams like you said.”
Bai Xianyu sat on the chair and supported her chin with her hand. She was a little puzzled. “Did you dream of anything more… special?” freew ebnove l.com
“Yes… I dreamed of my parents. I even dreamed that my brother had married a wife. It was special because this dream was especially real. If 1 didn’t know that this was impossible, I would have thought that I had woken up.”
Green Pearl smiled.
Bai Xianyu walked over and took a look at the remaining spice. Could it be that she was thinking about it during the day, and dreaming about it at night?
“Miss, come and drink the soup. It smells delicious.”
“Okay.” Bai Xianyu did not harp on this issue. “Did Grandmother send this?”
“That’s right. It’s what I told you yesterday. It calms your mind and helps you sleep. It can also relieve the headache caused by the long journey.”
Bai Xianyu sat down and took a small sip. As expected, the aroma was strong. Although it was a tonic, it was not bitter at all.
The soup was quickly finished. Bai Xianyu got ready to take a look at the restaurant in Liang Province city.
The waterways in Liang Province were unobstructed. Many cargo ships were transiting here, and there were especially many inns and restaurants.
It meant that there was a mix of good and bad people, and even the officials would find it difficult to interfere.
Previously, she had received rewards from Emperor Wu Xuan and Emperor Daqing. She was just worrying about not having a place to make money.
Moreover, teahouses and wine shops were places where news spread very quickly. It was even more so in Liang Province. Business depended on who was more well-informed.
Bai Xianyu thought that she could first establish herself in the Liang Province city before going to the capital. Her Second Brother’s power of influence was mainly near the capital. They were one in the south and one in the north. He was in the light while she was in the dark. That would be safer.
Green Pearl and Bai Li followed Bai Xianyu out of the residence.
Not far away, two pairs of greedy eyes stared after her. f reenovelkiss.com
Xu Maoping said, “Didn’t your lover already put something into those tonics?”
“There are a lot of tonics. I don’t think she has taken it yet..” Yu Boquan wished he could force her to drink it!
