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

"Alright, young master, you can't go back on your word."

After a long time, when Bai Jianan delivered Jian Yue to the Qiu residence and put her on her bed, Jian Yue suddenly said something that stunned Bai Jianan. He looked at Jian Yue with burning eyes, only to find that Jian Yue was also looking at him.

She didn't smile, but her naturally alluring eyes looked at him quietly, making him feel an undeniable sense of trust and entrustment from the bottom of his heart.

At that moment, Bai Jianan felt as if he owned the whole world.

He suddenly pulled Jian Yue into his arms. Jian Yue quietly let him hold her. After a while, when Bai Jianan let go, she reached out and placed her hand on his mask.

"If I give you my heart, will you let me see your face?"

Bai Jianan was taken aback and asked, "Does my wife care about appearance?"

Jian Yue smiled and shook her head, saying, "I don't care, but I do care that I don't know what my future husband will look like."

"Then my lady should take a good look. If my lady is not satisfied, I will not return it. My lady should be prepared."

Jian Yue tilted her head and raised an eyebrow: "What? You can't be like Pigsy, can you?"

Bai Jianan chuckled: "Pigsy is not as handsome as this young master. But my wife, the surprise should come last. On our wedding night, I lifted your veil. My wife, will you take off your mask for me?"

Jian Yue blinked, her eyes sparkling with a beautiful light. She smiled faintly, revealing a row of white teeth between her rosy lips, and said with a grin, "Young Master is indeed very shrewd. He knew I would be curious, so he didn't hesitate to cause trouble?"

Bai Jianan stood up, shook his head, and took out a fan that he didn't know where he got it from. He opened it and fanned himself, saying, "I think that I don't need to scheme against others. Anyway, those who have offended me can be killed with a single blow. But my wife is different. If I don't scheme against her, I'm afraid she would have already slipped out of my grasp."

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and looked at Jian Yue with a wronged expression, saying, "That pretty boy just now is no good. My wife, don't be deceived by him."

Jian Yue rolled her eyes: "You're the one who's not a good person! He's much more of a gentleman than you."

They only carried him around once before getting into physical contact. I really don't know what kind of strange people this person's parents must be.

"My lady, please be careful. I am not a magnanimous person. If any other man gets too close to you, I might do something."

Jian Yue raised an eyebrow: "Drown me in a pig cage?"

Bai Jianan immediately waved his fan and said, "No, no, no, this young master would never harm my wife, but cutting off the other party's hands is still acceptable."

Jian Yue sneered: "That's really domineering. It seems that I should always keep a distance from the young master when we get along. Otherwise, who knows, the young master might suddenly have a whim and kill me too, which would be a loss."

Bai Jianan immediately shook his head: "I've already told you I won't touch you, why don't you believe me?"

"Then why won't you let me see what you actually look like?"

Jian Yue smiled, but her eyes suddenly turned dangerous as she looked at Bai Jianan and sneered, "Could it be that the young master is hiding something from me?"

Bai Jianan was taken aback: "I didn't hide anything from you!"

"Is it?"

"Really."

"In that case, it seems that the young master has quite a lot of influence, as the renowned Qilin Pavilion is at your beck and call."

Bai Jianan paused, then chuckled and said, "Isn't it true that money can make the devil turn the millstone? My wife, you don't know, this time I really made Qiu Zhenzhou bleed a lot. In addition to the eighty loads of dowry that were originally agreed upon, I added another five loads."

Jian Yue didn't answer, but just looked at Bai Jianan. Bai Jianan felt uneasy under her gaze. Then, she got up, walked around the room, and stood still in front of Bai Jianan.

Bai Jianan was puzzled and was about to ask when he saw Jian Yue suddenly take off her mask. The mask, as thin as a cicada's wing, was removed, revealing an even more beautiful face. Bai Jianan's breath caught in his throat, and he felt as if his soul had been stolen away.

Jian Yue smiled and asked, "Does Your Highness think I'm pretty?"

"She's beautiful, of course my wife is beautiful."

Bai Jianan was completely out of his mind and naturally didn't realize Jian Yue's ulterior motives. He just looked at Jian Yue with tenderness in his eyes. Jian Yue's gaze changed again, and she stepped forward to take off his mask. Bai Jianan was startled and reached out to grab Jian Yue's hand.

Jian Yue sneered at him and said, "I've seen the Pavilion Master's face more than once or twice. Do you think I'm afraid to see it now?"

Bai Jianan's body trembled. He sensed the chilling malice in Jian Yue's smile and immediately shook his head in denial: "What Pavilion Master? What are you talking about, my lady?"

Jian Yue raised an eyebrow: "Then do you think I'm beautiful?"

Bai Jianan looked at Jian Yue's face, not understanding why Jian Yue kept asking him this question. After a while, he came to his senses and suddenly realized what was going on. He stood there awkwardly, and Jian Yue took the opportunity to step forward and remove his mask.

This time, he didn't stop it, or rather, he let it develop as it was.

Looking at the familiar face in front of her, Jian Yue picked up the mask and played with it, then laughed and said, "Young Master's face is indeed not very good-looking. He has a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, and his face is full of pustules. Tsk tsk, it seems I should reconsider whether I should find a different customer."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan immediately pulled Jian Yue into his arms fiercely and held her tightly, saying, "You dare? Do you think this is a brothel where you can just switch places whenever you want?"

Jian Yue smiled faintly: "I've taken advantage of this quite a bit these past few days. I don't know if it's just the young master's peculiar taste, but he's managed to play two roles at once, and it's almost as if the two roles are put together to perform a double act confrontation. He's really quite skilled."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan didn't blush at all, but just smiled and said, "You little devil are so smart, how come you didn't recognize me right away? I was thinking of giving you a surprise on our wedding night."

Jian Yue snorted coldly and stepped on Bai Jianan's instep. As Bai Jianan cried out in pain, she bit his arm. Even so, Bai Jianan did not let go of his arm.

He sighed and said, "Don't be angry, my wife, please don't be angry. It's all my fault, I admit my mistake."

"What wrong has the young master done? He's just trying to make a living. Just like me, he's a snake in disguise. What right do I have to blame the young master?"

Jian Yue was speaking from the heart. She wasn't actually that angry, just a little tightness in her chest.

Just now, she had truly fallen for the young master, but suddenly, she remembered the elusive master of the Qilin Pavilion. It seemed that the master had not appeared since she met Bai Jianan.

And those familiar eyes, appearing alongside Bai Jianan and the people from the Qilin Pavilion.

If Bai Jianan bribed someone from the Qilin Pavilion to intervene, it's highly believable. But if it were the number one swordsman in the world, then the matter becomes a bit far-fetched.

Zang Feng was Bai Jianan's personal bodyguard, and Jian Yue had known about him for a long time and had met him before.

But if the number one swordsman in the world was Bai Jianan's personal bodyguard, Jian Yue immediately understood.

She had never seen the number one swordsman in the world, but she had heard of it when she was with Murong Chuan in her previous life.

At that time, Murong Chuan went to great lengths to win over martial arts figures, including the "Number One Swordsman Under Heaven," who was actually the head of the Assassin Hall of the Qilin Pavilion.

She overheard this conversation between Murong Chuan and his strategist.

The leader of the Assassin's Guild is Bai Jianan's personal bodyguard? Can money buy that? Unless, Bai Jianan's identity is special.

Then, when Jian Yue re-observed Bai Jianan, the resemblance between their eyebrows and eyes became obvious. Finally, when she tore off the mask, Bai Jianan showed no surprise whatsoever, only astonishment.

Besides Xiao Cui and Hua Xiangrong, the only people who have seen her true face are the Pavilion Master of Qilin Pavilion.

"Young Master, please let me go. It's getting late, and I need to rest. If you don't leave soon, you'll ruin my reputation."

Jian Yue's voice was cold and clear, with an air of unyielding authority. Bai Jianan wanted to keep her, but he was afraid that Jian Yue would get even angrier, so he had no choice but to let go of her and say, "Then I'll go first. See you later."

After saying that, Bai Jianan left immediately. Jian Yue frowned. "See you later?" What did that mean?

After a long day of activity, Jian Yue was quite tired and didn't have the energy to think about much else. She tidied herself up and was about to rest when she was suddenly startled as she was about to take off her headdress.

She got up, opened the door, and called out, "Xiao Cui."

After calling out twice without receiving a response, Jian Yue frowned, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant. Then, Xiao Rou came out of the room and exclaimed with delight upon seeing her, "Miss, you're finally back! We were all so worried!"

Jian Yue nodded: "Did you see Xiao Cui come back?"

Xiao Rou shook her head: "After I learned that Miss had been kidnapped in the front yard, I wanted to go out to look for her, but Master stopped me and forbade me to leave the yard. So I waited in my room. It wasn't until Miss called for help just now that I realized she had returned."

That means Xiao Cui never came back.

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue understood and nodded, saying, "They're probably anxiously looking for me and are still outside. I'll go out and check."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Rou immediately stopped her, saying, "Miss, you mustn't. The task of finding Sister Xiao Cui should be handled by the servants. It's so late; it's dangerous for you to go out."

Jian Yue frowned, then heard a lazy voice from inside the room say, "Don't worry, your young lady will be fine. I will accompany her out."

Jian Yue was taken aback. Turning around, she saw someone standing behind her, wearing a mask, as if he had never left.

"you……"

"Alright, my wife, now is not the time to talk about anything else. Your girl is so loyal, and I don't want her to get lost and never come back. I'm also worried about constantly changing the people around me, so it's better to find her."
