Wild Princess: Marrying an Ugly Prince

Chapter 88: Growth After Tears

When Bai Aoxue was thinking, the door of the room was quietly opened. Mumian stuck her little pitiful head out through the door.

Bai Aoxue stared at Mumian, who was looking around, and felt this scene funny.

“Chuckle... Mumian, what are you doing?” Bai Aoxue asked, looking at Mumian who was sneaky beside the door.

Mumian’s eyes were immediately lit up when she saw that Bai Aoxue was awake. She quickly walked into Bai Aoxue’s room and then rushed to Bai Aoxue. She wanted to hug Bai Aoxue but stopped dejectedly since she suddenly realized that Bai Aoxue was injured.

“Miss...” Mumian looked at Bai Aoxue nervously, and her eyes were full of tears.

Mumian’s appearance gave Bai Aoxue a headache. Women were really made of water. When they wanted to cry, they could shed tears immediately. However, Bai Aoxue completely forgot that she was also a woman.

“I’m fine. They’re not serious. There’s nothing to be alarmed about.” Bai Aoxue comforted Mumian. She was afraid that Mumian would cry again.

Mumian looked at Bai Aoxue suspiciously. Even if she was not smart, she saw that the sword was stabbed into Bai Aoxue’s belly. How could she be all right?

“Miss....Do you still feel painful? It’s all my fault. I even didn’t know that I was cheated, and I even can’t protect myself!” Mumian gently knelt on the ground and looked at Bai Aoxue. She kept blaming herself.

When Bai Aoxue saw Mumian kneeling on the ground, she slightly frowned.

“Mumian, get up. Have you forgotten what I said? Don’t kneel down easily at any time. You and I are family. I am willing to get hurt for you.” Bai Aoxue looked at Mumian seriously and said so.

After Mumian heard Bai Aoxue’s words, although she was hesitant, she still knelt on the ground stubbornly.

“Miss, I know that you treat me as your family, and I am very fortunate to meet Miss because Miss did not treat me as a servant. But Miss, you’re injured because of me, and I feel very sad. I hope that it was me who got injured. I hope that it was me who was stabbed by that sword!” Mumian said tearfully, but she resisted her tears stubbornly.

When Bai Aoxue was just about to speak, Mumian spoke before she did: “After this incident, I understand that you worried about me because I was dependent on you too much, so you were distracted and got injured!”

Bai Aoxue looked at Mumian. She did not expect that Mumian became mature only because she got injured for one time.

“Mumian, listen to me. You were the first person I saw after I was saved from the lake. You were the first person who cried for me. How can I not protect you? My mother said that when you wanted to protect someone, you would be strong. And I want to protect you. So, I will not flinch no matter what kinds of difficulty is waiting for me. Mumian, you can keep relying on me!” Bai Aoxue stroked Mumian’s head and said gently.

After Mumian heard Bai Aoxue’s words, she finally shed tears.

“Miss... I also have someone whom I want to protect. I also want to be strong then protect you, and I won’t let you get hurt!” Mumian threw herself on Bai Aoxue’s quilt and broke into sobs.

When Bai Aoxue saw that Mumian finally began to cry, she was gradually relieved. She was most afraid that Mumian would have complex after this thing. It was not good for her.

“Just cry! Mumian, you will grow up and become stronger...” Bai Aoxue said with a faint smile.

However, she was looking outside in thought.

On this side, Bai Aoxue was consoling Mumian, while Bai Qiwei, who was in Prime Minister’s mansion, was walking around. He was very anxious.

A scout came to report that Bai Aoxue was sent back to General’s mansion, which showed that he must act.

But... how could he spare his status and bring Bai Aoxue back from General’s mansion? Besides, people in General’s mansion must make things difficult for him.

In addition, he couldn’t convince Ye Zhaojue...

When Bai Qiwei was annoyed, Bai Suxue came to Bai Qiwei’s study room excitedly.

“Father! I heard that Bai Aoxue was stabbed by a sharp sword. Did she die?” Bai Suxue completely ignored the etiquette. She quickly opened the door of the study room before servant came to notify Bai Qiwei.

Bai Suxue’s behaviors irritated Bai Qiwei. He just wanted to unleash his anger on someone!

“Bai Suxue! Look at yourself! You are too ill-bred! Get out!” Bai Qiwei screamed angrily.

Bai Suxue, who was originally excited and happy, was stunned when she heard Bai Qiwei’s scolding. Her happy mood disappeared instantly.

“Father, what are you doing? Your loud voice scared me.” Looking at Bai Qiwei, Bai Suxue complained.

“Hum...” Bai Qiwei sneered. He looked at Bai Suxue meaningfully.

Bai Suxue felt uncomfortable about Bai Qiwei’s gaze.

“Do you think that I don’t know that those shadow guards who intended to kill Bai Aoxue were bribed by you and your mother?” Bai Qiwei looked at Bai Suxue, who felt guilty, indifferently.

“Father, you wrongfully accused me! I didn’t do so!” Bai Suxue looked at Bai Qiwei pitifully.

Bai Qiwei said disdainfully: “Enough. You don’t need to pretend in front of me. How can I not know what kinds of people you and your mother are?!”

Bai Suxue did not expect that Bai Qiwei was so aggressive. He left her no leeway.

“Father...you!” Bai Suxue looked at Bai Qiwei with rounded eyes.

“Go and bring those title deeds of houses and lands left by Bai Aoxue’s mother to me from your mother.” Bai Qiwei didn’t want to waste time. He just hit upon an idea, so he ordered Bai Suxue to do something for him.

“Father, for what?” Bai Suxue asked unwillingly. Even if she did not understand the ways of the world, she knew how valuable those title deeds were.

“If you want to be His Majesty’s concubine, just shut up and bring those title deeds to me!” Bai Qiwei looked at Bai Suxue fiercely.

As expected, Bai Suxue seemed to be crazy when she heard “His Majesty’s concubine”. She said: “Father, wait a minute. I will go now.”

After that, she walked away quickly.

Bai Qiwei thought that since Bai Aoxue wanted to take back Ye Wanqing’s relics, he would give them to her, but she must come back to Prime Minister’s mansion first.

He believed that Bai Aoxue would accept such a condition that would benefit her. If not, she could never take these title deeds back!

He had plenty of methods to make Bai Aoxue regret!

When Bai Qiwei thought of countermeasures, he was sitting on the lounge chair and waiting for Bai Suxue to bring things back.

After a while, Bai Suxue came back breathlessly.

“Father, these are the title deeds that mother got from Bai Aoxue. Have a look.” Bai Suxue ingratiated herself with Bai Qiwei.

After checking carefully and found no mistakes, Bai Qiwei ordered: “Let your mother come out then make preparations for the wedding. Bai Aoxue is my first daughter. We must hold a grant wedding. Let your mother arrange everything carefully! And you can’t mess up again!”

When Bai Suxue listened to Bai Qiwei’s words, she was immediately stunned. She did not expect that Bai Aoxue would return to Prime Minister’s mansion. Originally, from Bai Lei’s words, she knew that Bai Aoxue had fallen over with Bai Qiwei. She would not be here in the future.

But now Bai Qiwei actually said that Bai Aoxue would get married from Prime Minister’s mansion. So, Bai Aoxue still stepped on her head!

Bai Qiwei didn’t care what Bai Suxue was thinking. After that, he walked out of the study room after his command. He hurriedly left Prime Minister’s mansion with those guards who were prepared.

“Bai! Ao! Xue! Disaster! You always bring my trouble! A grant wedding?! I will ruin your wedding and let you become a joke which is spurned and hated by the whole world!” Bai Suxue said with a high-pitch voice.

After that, she quickly left Prime Minister’s mansion and went to find Su Qianqian who was in Ancestral Hall.

Here, Bai Aoxue also heard from Mumian that both Wenxi and Hongxiu were fine. They rested after applying medicines, but they were all worried about Bai Aoxue.

After Bai Aoxue had a long conversation with Mumian, she was a little tired, so she closed her eyes and took a rest.

Mumian did not bother Bai Aoxue. She just watched over her beside the bed.

Here, Bai Qiwei and his people arrived at General’s mansion.

When those guards outside the mansion saw Bai Qiwei, although they were impatient, they didn’t show anything. No matter how much they hated Bai Qiwei, they would not let Bai Qiwei find it and give him occasion to talk about them!

“Notify General Ye that I come here to visit him.” Bai Qiwei said haughtily.

A guard frowned and said: “I am afraid that I will let Prime Minister Bai down. Today, General is not in a good mood. He declines visits.”

Bai Qiwei heard that guard’s words. If he hadn’t needed to maintain his good image, probably he would have showered abuse on him!

“Is it...but I come here to pick up my daughter. Will Ye General stop me?” Bai Qiwei smiled hypocritically.

The guard felt embarrassed. He said: “Well... I don’t know, but General commanded today that he wouldn’t see anybody!”

“Go to notify General Ye that I have some relics which belonged to my wife Ye Wanqing. I need to hand them over to my daughter by myself.” Bai Qiwei said confidently.

As expected, that guard suddenly fell in a dilemma after he heard those words. Since they were relics of Miss, General indeed would like to know more. Those guards looked at each other and made up their minds.

“Prime Minister Bai, please wait a minute. I’m going to notify General.” That guard said respectfully.

“Sure.” Bai Qiwei smiled reluctantly. In fact, he hated Ye Zhaojue since he showed no consideration for his feelings. He, the Prime Minister of a country, even needed to stand outside the mansion and wait for notification!

After Ye Zhaojue listened to guard’s report, he was thinking what kinds of trick Bai Qiwei wanted to play.

“Brother, it is better to ask for little niece’s opinion first. She has grown up.” Xingzhi said beside him.

After Ye Zhaojue heard Xingzhi’s words, he stared at him meaningfully and said: “Well, I go to ask Aoxue first.”

After Bai Aoxue, who was still resting, listened to Ye Zhaojue’s words, she smiled coldly. It seemed that Bai Qiwei and Jun Wuhen already had a strategy.

Jun Wuhen really valued her as a chess piece!

“Uncle, let that guard go out to tell Bai Qiwei that I was badly hurt, and I am still in a coma. Let him come back tomorrow morning.” Bai Aoxue said faintly.

Since she had already known Bai Qiwei and Jun Wuhen’s trick, what a pity it would be if she couldn’t play a trick on Bai Qiwei!
