Chapter 4: Marquis of Dingyuan
At the thought of this possibility, Bai Xianyu's face turned pale.
However, after a while, Bai Xianyu gradually calmed down. Even if he was reborn, Xie Xingyun had always been cold to her. He probably wouldn't follow the path of his previous life.
Perhaps God had given the two of them a chance to escape.
"…I hope I'm thinking too much." Bai Xianyu rubbed her stiff face and reassured herself.
…
The current Emperor was fond of hunting. Every year, he would hold a large-scale autumn hunt.
Therefore, most of the nobles and important ministers in the capital liked this event.
Bai Jinyan was one of them.
Bai Xianyu had a headache. "Fourth Brother, I really don't want to go."
Bai Jinyan and Bai Xianyu were the closest in age, so they went to the same academy. When she was young, Bai Jinyan would often train her rough; she would catch fish and prawns. Because of this, Bai Jinyan was often taught a lesson by her other older brothers.
"Little Yu, if you don't go, they definitely won't let me go. On account of me having copied books for ten days, bring me along to relieve my boredom. I really don't know when the next time will be?"
The corners of Bai Xianyu's mouth twitched. "Fourth Brother, you have yourself to blame for drawing a "Sleeping Beauty" picture of Teacher in class. You even gave the Teacher a 'flower name'. If he were a bad-tempered Teacher, he would probably have expelled you from the academy."
Bai Jinyan said dryly, "It's Teacher's fault for having such a smooth beard? It's just like a girl's hair…"
Bai Xianyu, "…"
"Sister, do you think I'll look more handsome if I grow a beard?" Bai Jinyan suddenly had an idea.
Bai Xianyu, "…" 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
In the end, Bai Xianyu could not stand Bai Jinyan's coaxing and pestering and agreed to go to the hunting ground with him the day after tomorrow.
The reason why she was unwilling to go was because in her previous life, she was bitten by a poisonous snake in the hunting ground. In the end, she met Xie Xingyun and he saved her life.
She did not know where her feelings started, but she went deeper and deeper.
But now that she knew what would happen, she prepared the realgar wine and some antidotes. It was better to be prepared.
…
After the snowstorm, the clouds dispersed and the rain cleared.
This hunting ground was specially set up for the wealthy families to hunt. There were very few prey in the winter, so they were specially thrown in during the winter. The people of Great Kui loved to hunt, especially in the winter, which made their blood warm.
Xie Xingyun held the reins in his hand and sat on a red-maned horse. His figure was tall, and he was wearing a moon-like runic outfit. His cold eyes under his sharp eyebrows were filled with a natural nobility, making him look even more lofty and unattainable.
"That must be the Young Marquis of the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor, right? He's really handsome."
"He's old enough to marry. I wonder which noble lady is lucky enough to marry him in the end."
As soon as Bai Xianyu arrived, she heard the noble ladies' passionate words. She tilted her head, and looked towards the noble and cold man on the tall horse and quickly raised her eyebrows.
She cursed in her heart. Lucky?
It might be better for her to be Xie Xingyun's horse than be his woman. At least he would smile at the horse.
Xie Xingyun watched as Bai Xianyu's face turned from white to black to white. He stared at her with interest.
In her previous life, she was as obedient as a kitten, allowing him to manipulate her. She had almost forgotten that she used to be so lively.
However, when he glanced at the two people behind her, his lethargy immediately disappeared.
While Bai Xianyu was complaining in her heart, Bai Jinyan had already pulled the Marquis of Dingyuan's heir, Lin Xingjian, over.
He was wearing a floral dark-patterned brocade robe and looked extraordinary. When his handsome face saw Bai Xianyu, it instantly became unnatural.
Bai Xianyu had always been grateful to this prince who had stood up for her in times of danger. However, she was already married at that time and could not personally thank him. Now that she saw Lin Xingjian again, Bai Xianyu curled her lips and said with a smile, "Thank you."
Lin Xingjian was slightly stunned. Bai Xianyu had never smiled so beautifully at him before. For a moment, he did not even hear what she said clearly.
The sound of horse hooves became louder. Bai Jinyan's expression changed and he pulled Lin Xingjian over. "… Watch out!"
Bai Xianyu staggered and was held steady by a strong arm.
Xie Xingyun inserted himself between the two of them. His voice was neither cold nor indifferent. "…The horse was frightened."
