BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1
“I heard that sometime back, the eldest miss of our Bai Manor was having relations with someone and was spotted by Second Miss. She had even tried to hit back and had actually said that Second Miss was framing her. Second Miss started crying out of anger on the spot.”
“Speaking about this Eldest Miss, I really can’t help but admire her good luck. Despite being a piece of trash, she was actually able to become the fiancée of the second prince and the prince. His Highness has also never disdained her. However, she didn’t even know what was good for her and actually had improper relations with another person!”
“If she had simply lost her virginity, it could still be forgotten, but she had even gotten pregnant and everyone knows about it. This has really shamed the imperial clan thoroughly!”
“I even heard that the Bai family had betrothed Second Miss to Second Prince in order to compensate him. However, Second Miss, who was being falsely accused by Eldest Miss, wasn’t even calculative toward her previous grievances and had planned to advise Second Prince to take Eldest Miss in as a concubine. Tell me, how could a woman who’s no longer a virgin be fit to be a concubine of the imperial family? And to think that Second Miss actually cares so much about their relationship as sisters.”
***
The rustling from outside reached the room as Bai Yan continued to calmly sit by the head of the bed. Her fingers lightly caressed her flat abdomen as her gaze that was clear like clean waters remained calm without a ripple.
Three months ago, she had just arrived at this mainland and before she was even able to familiarize herself with the environment here, her ‘good’ younger sister had already prepared an ugly man for her.
Who would’ve known that after she desperately fought and escaped, she was ultimately unable to resist the drug within her body and had ended up simply picking up a man in the countryside to rid the effects of the drug.
Although she was alone when Bai Ruo found her, the traces on her body clearly showed that everything that was from before wasn’t a dream...
That man’s bloodthirsty eyes appeared in Bai Yan’s mind and Bai Yan went into a daze. She wasn’t sure if it was because she had been drugged back then, but now, she couldn’t recall the man’s face no matter what...
It was as if the man was naturally covered in a layer of fog and she was unable to see a face within the vagueness.
“Elder Sister.”
A familiar voice pulled Bai Yan back from her thoughts. She raised her head and saw a handsome young man entering through the door from outside.
From memory, she knew that this young man was Bai Xiao, the biological brother of this body, born of the same mother. He was also the only concern she had in this world.
Back then, following the death of their biological mother, Lan Yue, Bai Zhenxiang elevated his concubine, Yu Rong, to his proper wife and even brought along the two daughters born of the concubine, Bai Ruo and Bai Zhi, to climb over their heads. If it weren’t for the deterring might of the Lan family, they would have been left completely without status in the Bai family.
However, with the passing of time, some people had already forgotten that the reason why the Bai family had its position today was definitely related to the Lan family!
Back then, the head of the Lan family had disagreed to Lan Yue’s marriage to Bai Zhenxiang because he already had a few concubines. However, Lan Yue had used the threat of severing the relationship between father and daughter to force the head of the Lan family to have no choice but to agree.
In order to prevent Lan Yue from suffering, the Lan family had prepared ten miles of dowry and that had caused a sensation.
After that, they had gone broke in order to buy countless pills to give Lan Yue.
Who would have known that Lan Yue was unable to withstand Bai Zhenxiang’s sweet nothings and had actually given all those pills to him. Bai Zhenxiang had directly broken through to the Heaven tier by relying on the aid of those pills and entered into the top-notch prestigious families.
It could be said that the Bai family’s position today had been obtained in exchange for Lan Yue’s sacrifice.
Even when she herself found out about these matters, she was already so angry. It was no wonder that the old master of the Lan family was so angry for all these years and had never bothered to hear about or ask about her.
His heart was truly broken by this daughter of his.
“Elder Sister.” Bai Xiao’s little expression was a little complicated. “Don’t be too sad. If Second Prince wants to break off his engagement with you, it is his loss. I’ve previously seen Second Prince and Bai Ruo exchanging flirtatious looks. Things are definitely unusual between the two of them.”
