Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role

Chapter 554: Extra: Marriage Substitute 6

Bai Muchi walked forward, the candlelight flickering along with his sleeves, "Hey, stop crying."

The woman at the table did not move.

Really asleep?

Bai Muchi took a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from Jiang Qiuyue's face. He accidentally touched the woman's skin and quickly withdrew his hand.

He didn't mean it, he wasn't interested in ugly women.

His gaze fell on Jiang Qiuyue's face again. He looked at her carefully and couldn't help but marvel at her. She was so ugly, it would be difficult for her to find a husband in the future.

But it must be said that this woman had a beautiful head of black hair. He suddenly noticed that there was a slight wrinkle where the black hair joined.

Bai Muchi stretched out his hand, touched the wrinkle, and then gently lifted it.

His eyes suddenly widened. Jiang Qiuyue, how could it be Jiang Qiuyue?

His heart couldn't help but beat wildly. The girl he loved was right in front of him. The person he had been thinking about was now alone in a room with him.

At the same time, he realized that he seemed a little reckless, and hurriedly pasted the human skin back on Jiang Qiuyue's face, then hurriedly left the room and closed the door.

The next morning, Jiang Qiuyue woke up. She had slept on the table all night. Her arms were sore from being pressed and her neck was a little sore.

When she went downstairs, she saw the ugly man staring at her.

Jiang Qiuyue: ...I really want to escape.

Bai Muchi shifted his gaze. Jiang Qiuyue was having breakfast when she suddenly heard the guests' discussions.

"Today is the day that Madam Bai returns to the Xue family."

"With the two powerful forces joining forces, the martial arts world is about to change."

"What's wrong? Have you forgotten the tragic incident that happened more than a decade ago?"

"It's been so long, and the enemy hasn't been found yet..."

"What are you afraid of? Doesn't the Bai Mansion have Master Bai? He is the best in the martial arts world. Even if our enemies come to visit us, it's still unclear who will win or lose."

Jiang Qiuyue listened silently while eating a bun. The guests finished their breakfast and left.

She returned to her room and put on her veil again.

Xue Mansion.

"Miss is back."

Madam Xue was standing at the gate of the mansion waiting, with several maids beside her.

Xue Lingruo lifted the curtain of the carriage and was about to jump out, but Bai Yu grabbed her hand and caught her steadily.

Xue Zheng noticed Bai Yu and his pupils dilated slightly, obviously knowing Bai Yu's identity.

He originally thought that Jiang Qiuyue's marriage would be with the youngest son of the Bai family, but he didn't expect it to be with Bai Yu.

Xue Zheng thought of the key. The two families had exchanged engagement letters, and the name on the letter was also Bai Muchi. So there was only one possibility, that Bai Muchi had also run away.

Just like he did, Mrs. Bai chose to make a substitution and let someone else take his place.

This actually gave his daughter a great advantage.

But Xue Zheng couldn't be happy. His usually upright face now looked a little cold.

But when facing Bai Yu, his expression changed again.

The changes are so fast, he is indeed an old fox.

"My dear son-in-law, if my daughter does something wrong, you must discipline her properly."

"Ling Ruo is very good."

Bai Yu chuckled and dealt with Xue Zheng while his eyes vaguely fell on Xue Lingruo who was talking to his mother in the distance.

Madam Xue almost gritted her teeth and said to Xue Lingruo, "How could it be Bai Yu? How could your husband become Bai Yu?"

If it was Bai Muchi, she could still comfort herself. After all, Bai Muchi's martial arts skills were not very high, and he was just the second son of the Bai family. But Bai Yu was different. He was young and promising. She and her husband together might not be able to beat Bai Yu.

And this marriage was originally Yue'er's.

Mrs. Xue's eyes flashed with resentment, "You stole Yue'er's things. If she comes back, you still have to return this marriage to her."

Xue Lingruo sighed softly, "But my sister doesn't want to get married, doesn't mother know?"

She didn't say that she didn't want to get married either. After all, there was no point in saying these words to someone who didn't love her.

Madam Xue suddenly stopped talking and suddenly pinched Xue Lingruo's wrist tightly, "Is it you, did you say something to Yue'er that made her not want this marriage?"

Feeling pain on his wrist, Xue Lingruo pried open his mother's fingers one by one, "If mother thinks it is, then it is."

Her mother had already determined that it was her fault and would naturally not change her mind. There was no point in arguing with Mrs. Xue.

It’s still business that matters.

Xue Lingruo looked heartbroken. She returned to her boudoir in a daze, closed the door, and told the servants not to disturb her.

Some of the servants heard what Mrs. Xue said and thought that the young lady was sad, so they consciously stayed away to leave the young lady alone.

The servant who was sweeping the leaves suddenly felt a chill on his back. He looked behind him, only to see an empty space. He thought it must be an illusion, so he went back to sweeping the leaves on the ground.

The grass and trees in the garden rustled, and it seemed that a figure flashed by quickly, but the lazy and gossipy servants did not notice it.

Xue Zheng and Bai Yu were discussing important matters in the front hall. Taking this opportunity, Xue Lingruo sneaked into Xue Zheng's study.

This is the important place of Xue Mansion. Xue Zheng stays here almost the whole day. Even Madam Xue cannot enter easily.

Only Jiang Qiuyue had been there once.

Xue Lingruo carefully felt through the books in the study, which were all martial arts secrets. On the shelf in the room was a long sword, which was said to be the Xue family's ancestral sword.

The handle of the knife was a little worn, and the words on it gradually faded with the passage of time.

Xue Lingruo searched almost the entire study, but still couldn't find what she wanted.

She accidentally touched a book, and the guard at the door burst in instantly. "Who is it?"

The study was empty and everything was the same as yesterday.

The guards did not dare to go in easily. After all, this was an important place of the Xue family. They only took a quick glance at the corners of the house where people could hide, and after finding nothing, they closed the door again.

Xue Lingruo breathed a sigh of relief and jumped down from the beam.

She suddenly noticed a place she had never looked for before.

The long sword placed in the middle of the room.

She touched it lightly, followed the lines on it, and unexpectedly discovered that it was a mechanism.

After thinking for a while, Xue Lingruo came up with a solution. She turned gently, and there was a loud bang in the house. A wooden box was under the long knife. She quickly picked it up, tapped her toes, and quickly escaped.

The noise was so loud that the guard realized something was wrong. He hurriedly opened the study door, found it a mess, and thought to himself that something was not right. Someone hurriedly ran to inform Xue Zheng.

"Master, it's not good, Master."

Xue Zheng frowned, "Speak nicely, what's wrong with that? Can't you see I'm talking to a distinguished guest?"

"There's a thief in the study."

After he finished speaking, Xue Zheng's face changed. He first glanced at Bai Yu, who had a normal expression, with suspicion.

"Since we have encountered a thief, father-in-law should deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to let the thief escape."

He was upright and had a clear conscience. Xue Zheng was somewhat doubtful about his own guess, but he could not care less about it now. The things in the study were very important and he could not let others take them.
