Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 171 Hidden secrets

The study is very clean, probably because someone cleans it every day.

None of his things were moved, and they were still in the same condition as when he left them.

No, it moved.

He walked to the table and picked up the comic book.

There is a piece of paper under the book.

Bai Xun picked it up and saw that there was a very ugly pig's head drawn on the paper, and the words "Bai Xun" were written on the pig's forehead.

The childish brushstrokes look like the work of a three-year-old.

There was also a stamp on the side, with the word "Spring".

He carved this chapter for Nanchun personally.

Thinking of how Nanchun sat here reading comic strips and had sudden ideas and drew funny pictures when he was not at home, Bai Xun couldn't help laughing.

When I return to Yangcheng, I have to teach Nanchun how to write and paint.

"So, Second Young Master Bai can also laugh like this?" Han Bailing walked in.

Bai Xun put the painting away, looked at her, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Shouldn't Miss Han explain this to me?"

Han Bailing pursed her lips and said calmly, "What's there to explain? Since ancient times, marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. What can I do about something that both elders agree on? Second Young Master Bai has the confidence to disobey his elders, but I don't."

Seeing that she didn't tell the truth, Bai Xun said bluntly: "I heard that the Ancheng Li family wanted to marry you and let you marry Marshal Li as a concubine."

Her stepmother had only mentioned this once in private. Her father had been hesitant and had never told anyone else. How did he know?

Han Bailing lost his composure and asked in surprise, "How did you know?"

"If I want to find out, I can find out."

No matter what, Han Bailing is the eldest daughter of the Han family. Marrying into the Bai family as a concubine is already a lowering of her status. How could she agree to bring someone into the house while he is not at home?

Bai Xun knew there must be something hidden, so he sent people to investigate.

After checking, I found out that it seems to be related to the Li family in Ancheng.

Han Bailing's stepmother has contacts with people under Marshal Li.

Bai Xun sent someone to bribe the people close to Marshal Li, and found out that the Li family had once considered marrying into the Han family.

It is said that before they could even raise the issue, the Bai family had already taken it.

There is new hatred and old grudges between the Li and Bai families.

No wonder Marshal Li took the risk to come to Yangcheng in person to take over Fuyuanji and promote cooperation with the Sheng family.

It turned out that he was holding back his anger and was competing with the Bai family!

The door was not closed and gusts of cold wind blew in. Han Bailing rubbed his arms, stood up and went to close the door.

"Just leave the door open. The girl's reputation is important." Bai Xun said.

Han Bailing curled the corners of his mouth.

Good reputation?

He'an, everyone knows that I, Han Bailing, have married into the Bai family and become your concubine. How can I maintain my reputation by being with you?

"You don't want to marry Marshal Li as a concubine, so you want to use the Bai family to escape. Marshal Li is not a good man, and I understand your unwillingness and desire to escape.

But shouldn't you tell me about this? Acting without warning and harming innocent people is a bit too much, isn't it? "Bai Xun looked worried.

Han Bailing sat back in the chair, pursed his lips and said, "Second Young Master, it's easy for you to say that. If I tell you, will you agree to let me in?"

Bai Xun had a gloomy face and a deep look flashed in his eyes.

Han Bailing couldn't help but feel fear. She bit her lip and said, "Yes, that's right. I married here mainly to get away from the Li family. And also to get away from the Han family... My biological mother died early, my stepmother treated me badly, and even my father didn't value me.

Everyone thought I was the beloved eldest daughter of the Han family, but what was the truth? Actually, I was nothing! My stepmother, under some guise, had established connections with the Ancheng Li family. She had taken advantage of them, and hoping to sell me for a good price, she told my father to marry Young Marshal Li as a concubine.

My father initially disagreed. After all, I was the eldest daughter of the Han family, and marrying me as a concubine would be shameful for him. But the pillow talk was powerful, and after a few days, my father began to hesitate.

At this time, news spread that the Bai family was considering taking a concubine for you, the second young master. In Quanhe'an, only the Bai family could rival the Ancheng Li family. Furthermore, your legal wife is a barren man, making her title of legal wife a mere figment of the imagination. Marrying into the Bai family as a concubine is no different from being a legal wife.

After much deliberation, I brought this up with my father. The Ancheng Li family had a bad reputation, while the Bai family was a scholarly family with a significant position in He'an County. In his mind, the Bai family naturally outshined the Li family.

Besides, I would be like his legal wife if I married him, and it wouldn't embarrass him. Seeing that my father agreed, I found an opportunity to show my face in front of the head of the Bai family. It was obvious that the head of the Bai family was very satisfied with me.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. This east wind is due to your design. Marshal Li and He An have become the rats crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats. My father is afraid of being associated with the Li family, so even if you are not here, he will marry me quickly.

Bai Xun sneered: "What a calculation."

Han Bailing lowered her eyes and dared not look at him: "If I choose another family, the Li family will definitely not let me go. Even if I marry someone, I will not be able to live in peace. Once I enter the Bai family, the Li family will not dare to act rashly.

If you marry a man, the master and the old lady will be eager to take you a concubine. If you marry a woman from a prominent family, they will definitely not want her as a concubine. If you marry a woman from a lesser family, the master and the old lady will feel that it will not benefit the Bai family. If I marry into the Bai family, it will be beneficial to everyone."

Bai Xun's face darkened. "Benefits for both? I don't think it will benefit Nanchun and me in any way. If I wanted, I could have the Li family come pick us up tomorrow."

Han Bailing's hand holding the handkerchief suddenly tightened.

"Do you really disregard the reputation of the Patriarch and the Old Madam, and the cooperative relationship between the Bai and Han families?"

Bai Xun sneered, "Have you ever cared about Nanchun and my reputation?"

Han Bailing felt bitter in her heart. To be honest, the person she felt most sorry for was Nanchun.

Marrying into the Bai family would benefit herself, the Han family, and the Bai family. However, it would be of no benefit to Nanchun, and would even cause her a lot of trouble.

Han Bailing sighed, "I'm really sorry to Nanchun. At first, I thought it was just like what people said outside, that you didn't like him and only married him out of necessity.

After entering, I felt like I was living in this quiet garden. When Nanchun moved to the other courtyard, he barely touched anything here. I saw a stuffed cat on the bedside table, a variety of sketchbooks on the bookshelf, and even some odd toys on the table that didn't match the precious brushwasher and inkstone.

Only then did I understand that there was love between you and him. So, when he asked me to help him find you in Yangcheng, I agreed without hesitation. I felt sorry for him, and I must help him when I need to.

I have no intention of disturbing you and Nanchun's life. But Second Young Master, if it's not me, it will be someone else. How could the head of the family and the old lady let you stay with Nanchun alone? "

"I have my own way, you don't need to worry about it." Bai Xun said coldly.
