The maidservant did not suspect anything. âYoung Master sometimes sleeps late, and sometimes he sleeps early. As long as the lights are off, everyone will know that heâs asleep.â
âAlright.â
At night, Bai Xianyu finished embroidering the last Flametail Fish and revealed a relieved smile.
Green Pearl praised, âMiss, your skills are getting better and better!â
âYouâre such a sweet talker.â Bai Xianyu put away the Flametail Fish brocade pouch. Because it was made according to Xie Xingyunâs painting, Bai Xianyu took his painting back.
Before Green Pearl put it away, she asked with a smile, âMiss, why is the tail of this fish white?â
âIt looks even better on it.â Bai Xianyu stretched and prepared to go out for a walk.
Pei Ying arrived at Bai Jingyuanâs room. She deliberately lowered her head and knocked on the door. âYoung Master, Iâm here to bring you dinner.â
âCome in.â
Pei Ying smiled. âYes, Young Master.â
After entering Bai Jingyuanâs room, Pei Ying looked around and quickly saw the man sitting in front of the table.
âYoung Master, your dinner is placed on the table for you.â
Bai Jingyuan did not answer. He frowned and flipped a page of the official document, using a pen to mark it.
Pei Ying did not leave. Instead, she quietly came in front of him.
She knelt down and lowered her body, calling out softly, âYoung Master.â
Bai Jingyuan narrowed his eyes. âWhat is it?â
Only then did Bai Jingyuan see clearly that the person in front of him was not a maidservant from the residence, but the woman he had saved that day.
Pei Ying gritted her teeth and stood up. She walked to Bai Jingyuanâs side and tilted her body, wanting to lean on him.
âI feel a little dizzy. Can Young Master help me?â
Bai Jingyuan sneered and waved his sleeve. âScram!â
Pei Ying was instantly thrown to the ground. Luckily, she was prepared. She immediately tore her clothes and wanted to go up to him again.
âYoung Master, Iâve admired you for a long time. Please look at me!â
Bai Jingyuan did not give her a chance to get close at all. He pulled out a long sword and pointed it at her throat. His eyes were so cold that they could kill.
Pei Ying was instantly frightened. She cowered and swallowed her saliva.
âYoung Master, donât be angry. I donât feel dizzy anymore.â
As she spoke, she hurriedly fled!
However, when she went out, she actually bumped into Bai Xianyu and Green Pearl!
Pei Ying immediately came up with a plan. Judging from Bai Xianyuâs inexperience, she should be much easier to fool than her brother!
Perhaps she could use her sympathy to stay and make plans in the future!
She hurriedly closed Bai Jingyuanâs door and hugged Bai Xianyuâs leg while crying.
âMiss, please help me!â
Bai Xianyu saw that they were in front of her brotherâs room and did not want to disturb him. She glanced at Pei Yingâs attire and frowned. âFollow me.â
When they reached a secluded place, Pei Ying cried and said, âMiss, my life was saved by you and your brother, but⦠but if you want me to repay, I can be your servant, but how can Young Master Bai treat me like this?â
Bai Xianyuâs doubts deepened as she watched Pei Ying roll up the clothes at her waist, allowing her to see a bruise. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âJust now, Lord Bai said that he wanted to have dinner. I happened to have nothing to do, so I helped the maidservant send it over. 1 didnât expect Young Master to actually⦠touch me. 1 almost lost my innocence.â
As she spoke, she shook her head with a bitter smile. âNo, Iâm not clean anymore. If 1 had known earlier, 1 would have drowned!â
Bai Xianyuâs face was expressionless.
Pei Ying thought that what she said was not pitiful enough and that she had to add fuel to the fire!
âMiss, actually, 1 also admire Young Master Bai, but 1 really donât want to continue like this without a name or a title! Iâm even willing to be a concubine! But now, I⦠1 really canât accept it. Iâll just die!â
As she spoke, she leaned towards the edge of the ship. It was night time, and the black water was splashing onto the bottom of the ship layer by layer. It was really terrifying!
âMiss, donât send anyone to stop me! Just let me end my life like this! Donât let Young Master be condemned by everyone! Just take it as my repayment to the two of you for saving my life!â
Her tone was agitated, as if she was about to jump off the boat in the next second.
Green Pearl was a little anxious. âMiss, it seems like she really wants to jump down!â
Bai Xianyuâs expression was calm. âAre you saying that my brother touched you?â
Pei Ying blushed and nodded while crying.
She should be soft-hearted! She was just a teenage girl. She would not leave her in the lurch.
âGuards,â Bai Xianyu said.
The surrounding guards immediately surrounded her.
Pei Ying was elated, but her expression became more and more fearful. âDonât save me! Just let me die like this!â
As she spoke, she lifted her skirt and ran backwards.
She was just one step away from falling, but she paused and deliberately turned around. âMiss! If I canât serve Young Master Bai, thereâs no difference between living and dying!â
âThrow her down.â
Bai Xianyu said calmly.
Pei Yingâs expression froze, but there was no way out. The guard pushed her gently and she fell into the water!
âMy brother kindly asked you to stay on the ship, but you turned the tables and secretly stabbed him in the back. You still want me to seek justice for you? We canât afford to save such a person.â Compared to the words of outsiders, Bai Xianyu naturally believed his brother. âSo, go back to where you came from.â
Pei Ying struggled in the water and choked on a few mouthfuls of water. She saw that Bai Xianyu had actually left!
âHelp! Help me!â
Many maids and servants saw it, but they were from the Generalâs Manor. How could they offend their Mistress for an outsider?
After a while, Pei Ying climbed onto a corner of the ship with a dark expression.
She could swim.
She just wanted to fight for another chance for herself.
She raised her head and glanced at the people on the ship before turning her gaze to another large ship.
âI donât believe that I canât get either of these two men!â
