The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

Hua Xiangrong spoke very casually, while constantly eating fruit, looking relaxed and calm. It was not hard to tell that she was telling the truth.

Bai Jianan shook his clothes, stood up, and said, "How can you say that this Assassin's Guild has grown up under my watchful eye? Can't you show some mercy? It's one thing to be bitten to death by wolves, but why let them eat half of it and leave the other half? It's disgusting."

Hua Xiangrong paused upon hearing this, frowning as if in thought. After a while, she suddenly nodded, grabbed a few grapes, and threw them all into her mouth. While spitting out the grape skins, she agreed, "It is disgusting, but I just want to be as disgusting as possible. I can't kill that little bitch, so I have to disgust her. Otherwise, I won't feel comfortable, and how can I let her have a good time? Actually, I'd rather try it on her. It is said that the softest part of a woman's body is the most delicious. My darling has never tasted the meat from that part before."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't understand Hua Xiangrong's twisted sense of humor. Seeing her eating and discussing ways to die without any discomfort, he was even more certain that this woman was not to be offended.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Jianan asked, "No matter what, you acted without thinking. Heli Hong suspected Yueyue immediately. Regardless of whether Yueyue was involved or not, she will definitely take action quickly."

Thinking of Jian Yue's safety, Bai Jianan felt another wave of worry, but when he thought of that so-called master, his heart tightened again.

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiangrong suddenly snorted coldly: "So what if she suspects me? Do you think I'm afraid of her insects? If she dares to make a move, I guarantee she won't leave the Crown Prince's residence alive."

Heh, Bai Jianan, you haven't actually fallen for this little bitch, have you? If so, it really breaks my silly girl's heart.

Bai Jianan, you really are something else! I can't bear to see my silly girl sad, but what have you done? Not only have you caused her to break off her engagement and fall into the water, but now she's stuck in that lecherous prince's mansion, and you've even delayed my wedding. Tell me, how am I supposed to settle this?

After Hua Xiangrong finished speaking, her gaze suddenly changed, and she was in front of Bai Jianan in an instant. At the same time as Hua Xiangrong moved, the gray wolf cooperated with Hua Xiangrong to block Bai Jianan's retreat.

Bai Jianan, who was moving quickly, was surprised, but when he met those eerie green eyes and Hua Xiangrong's cold gaze, he was immediately terrified.

He quickly looked at Hua Xiangrong and said, "I haven't even said anything to you yet. That tree was my mother's favorite thing, and you actually hollowed it out and hid it inside. How am I supposed to explain this to my mother?"

Hua Xiangrong sneered: "This person is about to die, what are you talking about trees for? If you want to explain to your mother, first see if you can even survive today!"

As she spoke, Hua Xiangrong placed her hands on the sword at her waist. Seeing this, Bai Jianan quickly begged for mercy, "Wait, um, Sister Hua..."

"Shut up, you're not worthy to call me Sister Flower."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan had no choice but to change his words, saying, "Well, I won't call her that, okay? Don't get agitated. I had no other choice. I've already explained everything to Yueyue. When the time is right, I will definitely take care of everything and then marry her in style."

Hua Xiangrong was taken aback at first, then asked doubtfully, "Are you sure this is what my silly sister said?"

"I am absolutely certain that we have never drifted apart, and you must believe that."

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiangrong waved her hand, and the gray wolf abandoned its attack and lay down on the ground. However, its green eyes remained fixed on Bai Jianan, making Bai Jianan's hair stand on end.

The wolf itself isn't scary; what's scary is that this wolf is incredibly agile. The palm strike he just unleashed contained 60% of his internal energy, yet it still managed to dodge it. I really don't know if this wolf has truly become a spirit.

He looked at the gray wolf with a probing gaze. Hua Xiangrong noticed this and knew what was going on. She mocked, "You're so afraid of a wolf? Coward."

Bai Jianan shrugged: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm afraid if I hurt it, you'll dislike me even more. I don't plan to do something that puts me in such a dilemma every month."

Hua Xiangrong suddenly chuckled and said, "You have such a sweet tongue, no wonder the silly girl fell for you. But the men you're talking about are all womanizers, so it seems we shouldn't let the silly girl continue to be naive."

Bai Jianan immediately retorted: "I, Bai Jianan, am not that kind of person. Those were just false rumors spread to deceive people, and my dealings with Heli Hong were merely a temporary measure."

"I still don't know her plans, and the reasons for the Emperor's compromise haven't been fully investigated. I must maintain this relationship with her to preserve the superficial peace. Otherwise, it's easy for someone lurking in the shadows to plot against us."

Herihong knew him too well, so at this moment, he had to be extremely careful with every step he took, and absolutely could not reveal the slightest clue.

Especially since Jian Yue still doesn't know who is being controlled or what they want to do.

Bai Jianan's heart was not as calm as he appeared. He was not afraid of many things when they were put together, but when it came to Jian Yue, he could not calm down no matter what.

Thinking of this, he looked at Hua Xiangrong and asked seriously, "Miss Hua, since you came to the capital, have you contacted Yueyue? Do you know who the people around her are?"

Flower girl...

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiang almost choked on her own saliva. She immediately raised her hand and slapped Bai Jianan across the face, cursing, "You're the one who's called Miss Hua. Call me Master Rong."

Caught off guard, Bai Jianan stood there stunned for a moment. Seeing Hua Xiangrong's angry expression, he immediately ignored his surprise and quickly said, "Master Rong, Master Rong, please calm down."

What the hell did he get beaten up for? "Flower Girl"? Isn't that normal? Her surname is Hua, okay? And you can't call her "Sister Flower"!

Thinking of this, Bai Jianan was also furious. In all his life, apart from Princess Murong Yan, no one had ever hit him like this.

Just then, Hua Xiangrong spoke.

"You just said Yueyue has someone with her? What do you mean?"

Bai Jianan immediately composed himself and shook his head at this person who should not be provoked, saying, "It's nothing. It's just that last night, when Yueyue and I met at Lanyue Tower, we were discovered by a powerful person. I couldn't even last one move against him. Even in my prime, I'm afraid I wouldn't last three moves against him."

Hua Xiangrong immediately raised her eyebrows. She had personally witnessed Bai Jianan's skills. How strong must someone be if even Bai Jianan couldn't beat them?

After thinking for a moment, Hua Xiangrong asked, "What do you think is the relationship between that person and Yueyue?"

"Yueyue calls him Master, but I feel that things are not that simple."

Especially the way he looked at Jian Yue, which made Bai Jianan extremely violent, but he couldn't unleash it because of the other party's strength.

For the first time, he felt heartache because of his own weakness and incompetence.

Judging from Bai Jianan's expression, this matter was indeed very serious, but Jian Yue had never mentioned it to Hua Xiangrong. Since Bai Jianan and Jian Yue had been reunited after a long separation, there was naturally no need for them to lie.

Hua Xiangrong frowned, pondering whether she should go directly to meet Jian Yue, but then decided against it.

Jian Yue's terrible temper meant that she hadn't been allowed to manage things here since they got in touch, and even with her obstruction, she still managed to get involved with Murong Chuan.

She didn't understand why Jian Yue insisted on doing this, but she knew she couldn't stop her.

After making contact, Jian Yue strongly resisted her help, and even told the Shangguan family to stay away and hide in the mountains.

Hua Xiangrong could easily guess that Jian Yue wanted to shoulder everything alone, but how could she abandon her?

So, she and Shangguan Hanque went down the mountain. Shangguan Hanque disguised himself as a servant in the manor, while she, along with Wolf Baby, caused trouble in the manor, trying to distract some people for Jian Yue's sake.

Jian Yue was now surrounded by a group of people, including this woman from Bai Jianan Mansion.

Thinking of this, Hua Xiangrong suddenly looked at Bai Jianan with a probing look in her eyes. Bai Jianan quickly sat up straight and asked Hua Xiangrong, "What's wrong?"

Hua Xiangrong shook her head, secretly resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him for a long time before asking, "You don't mean to treat this woman in your mansion as a substitute for the silly girl, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan knew she was referring to Qiu Lingyu, and naturally shook his head, saying, "How could that be? If I had to describe my feelings upon seeing her, it would be surprise at first glance, familiarity at second glance, and confusion at third glance."

But when I see Yueyue, I feel differently. It hurts, so much so that I can't breathe. Even when I forget her, I can still clearly feel my attachment to her.

Therefore, even if I forget, I will never mistake someone for someone else.

"If that's the case, why did you let her move into your residence?"

Hua Xiangrong looked coldly at Bai Jianan, who smiled and said, "Of course it's useful. She was brought back by Heli Hong. She claims to be from the Northern Desert, but her appearance is completely unlike that of people from the Northern Desert. And this Northern Desert is inextricably linked to Qiu Zhennan."

Mentioning Qiu Zhennan, Hua Xiangrong frowned and said, "The girl's father?"

Bai Jianan nodded: "Of course, but I'm more curious about the relationship between this woman and Qiu Zhennan. Why does she look exactly like Yueyue? Could it be that Shangguan Linglong gave birth to two daughters back then?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiangrong's eyes lit up, and she said, "If that's really the case, then she's here to reunite with her family?"

Bai Jianan shook his head and frowned, saying, "I'm not sure. If we really wanted to recognize each other, why did I accept Heli Hong's invitation to come here? I know Heli Hong's intention very well. She wanted to test whether I still remembered Yueyue. She still hasn't let her guard down."

Hua Xiangrong listened and started pacing around the room, but before she could even think about how ruthless that was, there was a knock on the study door.

Hua Xiangrong and Bai Jianan both looked up at the doorway at the same time, their brows furrowing.

Why was there a knocking sound when Zang Feng was guarding the door?
