The White Demon

Ye Qingwan's coming-of-age ceremony was over, and the guests who came today had their meal at the Duke's Mansion before leaving.

People praised the food at the table, but were also shocked by the succession of the new head of the Ye family.

"Oh my god, with the new head of the family taking over the throne, will there be a new Duke soon?"

"Of course! Every head of the Ye family is like this..."

"This new head of the family is so beautiful, I wonder what kind of duke she will look for?"

"What are you thinking about? Anyway, you have no chance..."

The sudden change of the Ye family happened to become the topic of conversation at the dinner table. The discussion continued, and it also aroused the fantasy of some people to become the Duke...

The old Duke and his wife were at the banquet, listening to everyone's discussions, but their hearts sank to the bottom.

If they had been able to flatter the main courtyard before because of Ye Qingwan's humility.

But now, the imperial edict has been issued, and the new Duke will take office soon. There is absolutely no reason for them to live in the main courtyard anymore.

But if they leave, where can they move to?

If Ye Qingwan was more smart, it would not be impossible to send them out to build their own independent houses.

By then, all daily expenses will be borne by them...

The Duke and his wife were weighed down with worries and felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles. Although they were chewing on delicious food, it tasted like wax.

Ye Qingwan was unaware of the anxiety in the hearts of these two people.

At this moment, she was standing beside Prince Rui, accompanying the emperor's favorite who had refused to leave.

After all, Prince Rui was of noble status and had come to announce the imperial edict, so he could not sit at the same table with ordinary people. Ye Qingwan ordered people to prepare a separate elegant room for him.

"Come, Master Ye, sit down..."

Ye Qingwan felt a little embarrassed, but Prince Rui seemed to be the master here.

He sat upright at the table and calmly gestured to Ye Qingwan to sit down with him.

Ye Qingwan knew the rule that boys and girls over seven years old should not sit at the same table.

But how could Prince Rui not know this?

Such a request is indeed intriguing...

Logically speaking, Ye Qingwan, as a modern person, should not care too much about these things.

But if she sits down today, rumors will probably spread tomorrow that she is too close to Prince Rui.

But if she refused? With so many people watching, it would be like slapping Prince Rui in the face, making him lose face...

When Ye Qingwan was in a dilemma, she suddenly pointed to the kitchen and smiled:

"Your Highness, I will go and see how the food is prepared."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was about to take the opportunity to escape, but Prince Rui quickly stopped her: "Master Ye, didn't I remind you just now?!"

"Well, then... I'll go and remind them again..."

Ye Qingwan turned around and tried to leave, but she didn't expect that her wide sleeves were grabbed by Prince Rui, "Wanwan, can I call you that? Stay with me... for a while?!"

Oh my god, what you fear will come true!

No, don’t you princes mind marrying into the wife’s family?

When Ye Qingwan heard what Prince Rui said, her whole body suddenly tensed up.

"This..." She quickly smiled and pulled the sleeve out of Prince Rui's hand, but she didn't expect Prince Rui to look at her even more affectionately.

She couldn't help wanting to escape, but she heard Prince Rui say:

"Wan Wan, this is a gift from me. Do you like it?"

Then, she saw an exquisite wooden box with a finely crafted white jade hairpin lying quietly inside, which had been handed to her.

Ye Qingwan subconsciously refused: "No! Your Highness Prince Rui, you don't have to spend so much money..."

Prince Rui looked at the stunned expression of the person in front of him, but his eyes were unusually bright. It was really rare to find a woman who was not moved by power and wealth!

He really didn't see the wrong person!

He curled the corners of his lips, carefully picked up the jade hairpin, and wanted to put it directly on Ye Qingwan.

"White jade is flawless. I think this white jade suits you very well..."

His hand was getting closer and closer, and Ye Qingwan was about to say no...

However, at this moment, a black whirlwind swept past, and Prince Rui was suddenly like being possessed by an evil spirit. His whole body flew against the wall, then bounced back and fell heavily to the ground...

The jade hairpin broke into pieces, and the furnishings in the room also "crackled", and in an instant they were shattered into pieces...

"Ouch..." The broken jade hairpin pierced Prince Rui's hand, but he had no time to care...

He covered his waist with his hands, which was in unbearable pain, and wailed non-stop...

However, at this moment, Ye Qingwan saw the murderous white figure in front of her, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. She rushed into the other's arms in surprise, "Dabai!!"

She rubbed her cheek against his chest, and like a tree stalker, she hugged his waist tightly, then looked at him and smiled foolishly: "Haha, Dabai! Why are you here?!"

Dabai's whole body was filled with coldness, "Didn't you find the pigeon and ask me for help, saying that it was in great danger?

I think it’s a bad situation, but it’s not you, it’s him…”

Ye Qingwan frowned slightly. A pigeon asking for help? Something bad is going to happen?

She seemed a little confused, but this did not affect her good mood at the moment.

The person in front of her was obviously jealous, but her heart was filled with sweetness at the moment.

She raised her head and smiled brightly, and took the initiative to kiss Dabai on the cheek, "Why, are you angry?..."

"Shouldn't I be angry?" Although Dabai's tone was unfriendly, the aura around him was obviously much calmer.

At this time, Prince Rui, with the help of his servants, had slowly stood up.

It was difficult for him to even touch the person he loved, but now he was in the arms of another man and was intimate with another man. The pain in his heart had already exceeded the pain in his body.

His face suddenly turned gloomy, "Excuse me, who are you...? How can you be so rude?!"

Dabai sneered, "Ha, I wonder who is more rude between your highness and my wife?!"

“You!…” Prince Rui’s eyes widened in anger, while Dabai refused to give in, “Why… do you still want to fight?!”

Before the human princes inherit the throne, they are basically at the level of weaklings in combat. Only after they ascend the throne do they possess the dragon energy of a human emperor that is no less than that of a Yuanying stage emperor.

Dabai is the best among the monsters. The difference between the two is clear at once.

Dabai showed mercy just now. If he had used his full strength, the man would have died on the spot.

Seeing that both sides were about to fight again, Ye Qingwan quickly opened her arms to protect Dabai, "Your Highness Prince Rui, this man is indeed my husband-to-be. I am deeply grateful that Your Highness can come to my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony today.

I hope Your Highness will forgive us for the poor hospitality.

As for the broken jade hairpin, I will definitely come to your house to pay for it someday. Your Highness, can you please leave first today..."

Ye Qingwan tried her best to calm the anger of the two men, but Prince Rui became even more angry after hearing her words.

The man who had been well-behaved and tactful was now furious!

"You are the one that this king likes! Since he hasn't married yet, this king still has a chance..."

Oh my god, what a naked provocation!

Does Prince Rui want to die?

Sure enough, the aura around Dabai turned cold again...

Seeing the dispute arise again,

Just at this time,

The people who had eaten outside suddenly cried out in pain: "Ouch... Ouch..."

Then Cuizhu ran in in panic, "Miss, this is bad! After the guests outside had their meals, they all had stomachaches. What should we do?"

"What's going on?" Ye Qingwan realized at this moment that the great gift that Ye Qingpan mentioned for her was not from Prince Rui and Dabai, but from these guests with stomachaches outside...

She restrained her expression and ordered, "Let's go! Take me to see..."
