Chapter 331: His Highness Needed To Calm Down
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
After Helian Jiao Er saw it had been solved, she finally stopped crying.
As expected, after the four families came forward, the Huai’s no longer said anything. After all, their son had already married a daughter from the Helian’s family.
If they did not take the money, then they must be a fool.
So, they instructed the person who came to fetch the bride to leave the General’s residence.
However, Helian Jiao Er was still disconsolate. This was because she had fallen from being a prominent and most talented lady in the Capital to a lady who had been rejected from a marriage, and her father had given so much money to them.
How could she just let it go!
However…
“Mother, you have underestimated the Third Prince. In fact, he was not affected by Yun Biluo at all. Have we a.s.sumed wrongly?”
Su Yan Mo patted her hand, “Who said that he was not affected? If you think about it carefully, if someone that had been around you for so many years always disappears and reappears all of a sudden on his own whims and fancies, you must surely be unhappy. You see, this time the Third Prince obviously did not forget Yun Biluo. Since he has not forgotten her, then there is still hope.”
Helian Jiao Er bit her lip while listening, and said, “But mother, you have no idea, the Third Prince has always been supporting that little rascal, Helian Wei Wei and also helping her out, I am worried…”
“Jiao Er,” Su Yan Mo’s tone was faint, “She is the Third Princess Consort, and you have taken too little consideration this time when you challenged the authority of the Third Princess Consort in public. The authority of the Royal Family is powerful, these words should not be casually spoken. People like the Third Prince, of course, will not allow anyone to look down on the princess consort that was chosen by him.”
Helian Jiao Er took a deep breath unwillingly, “Then mother, what should I do?”
“You shall not go to the academy these few days, and it is also inappropriate for me to attend the gatherings in the Capital recently. Let’s wait until your father removes the name of the little rascal from the family tree, then everything will be fine.” Su Yan Mo caressed Helian Jiao Er’s long hair with her eyes facing toward Helian Guang Yao.
Some time ago, her business was in a complete mess, and she did not have much money in hand. Additionally, she did not even know what Helian Guang Yao was doing recently.
She always felt that he was hiding something from her.
Perhaps she was too suspicious, as when she went and visited the ladies these past few days, she always felt that they had something to say. The feeling of being criticized made her feel very uncomfortable.
She wanted to talk to Helian Guang Yao, but she could not find time to do so.
See, when they had just finished their discussion, someone whispered something in Helian Guang Yao’s ear.
Helian Guang Yao stood up and faced Helian Jiao Er and Su Yan Mo, which he said, “There are still imperial court matters to attend to, I have to go now.”
Su Yan Mo quickly sent him out.
The housekeeper tagged along behind Helian Guang Yao, and until he could not see the main entrance of the General’s residence anymore, then only he voiced out his worries, “Old Master, Miss Lian Er’s injury should not be a big deal. It would be better if you stayed together with them at this time because if the Su family knew about it, I am afraid that the situation will put you at a disadvantage.”
Helian Guang Yao thought about it, and then he retracted the step that he had initially set out, “I will listen to you, let’s go back to the residence after we take a walk.”
“Yes, Old Master.”
Indeed, both of them took a walk.
When Helian Guang Yao came back, Su Yan Mo was still awake. She was surprised to see him return, so she wanted to talk to him for a moment.
However, Helian Guang Yao looked exhausted, so Su Yanmo gave up her desire. When she thought about dealing with Helian Wei Wei in the very near future, her heart exploded with happiness, hence, it did not take her long to close her eyes and fall asleep.
What she did not know, however, was that Helian Guang Yao did not sleep actually. Instead, he was full of thoughts, but such thoughts were not about her…
The night became darker.
When Baili Jia Jue woke up, Helian Wei Wei seemed to feel a lot more comfortable, and her face had more color to it.
He reached out his hand, wanting to poke Helian Wei Wei’s face.
He did not expect anyone to be so uneasy even when she was asleep She took his finger and placed it in her mouth, pretending it to be food.
Helian Wei Wei’s bite was not painful though, her long eyelashes were half-bent, and her small tongue slid over Baili Jia Jue’s finger, coupled with some warmth…
The only thing that Baili Jia Jue felt was something strange that leaped from his fingertips to his lower abdomen, which was a bit itching.
He suddenly looked down, and without pausing, he leaned over and kissed her neck.
It was probably because this part was more sensitive, Helian Wei Wei immediately tensed, and her fingers grabbed Baili Jia Jue’s clothes.
Both of them were very close to each other.
Baili Jia Jue reached out his hand and held the back of her head, and he inserted his finger into Helian Wei Wei’s hair, and gently stroked it. Watching her soft hair slid down just like water in between his fingers had all of his attention.
The gentle pressure at the scalp made Helian Wei Wei feel unusually comfortable in her sleep; she sighed, and her husky voice made the itch in Baili Jia Jue’s heart became more intense!
He stood up suddenly and strode to the copper basin and sprinkled his face with cold water. He looked at his strange self in the bronze mirror and his eyebrows slightly frowned.
However, compared to all these, he could feel the beating of his heart, it was so intense, as though it almost hit through the thin layer of the flesh of his chest.
What is this feeling…
D*mn it!
Baili Jia Jue stared at his legs and looked at his strange self in the mirror. Obviously, he needed to calm himself down.
Since he could not play with his prey, all he could do was to kill it. (Helian Wei Wei: …So, you see, how many lives I have saved indirectly?)
Baili Jia Jue s.h.i.+fted his gaze from the bronze mirror and then walked out. The shadow guards were three times more than usual. Ever since His Highness chose to reveal his ident.i.ty, this meant that the White Academy would not be peaceful in the future.
After the Retired Emperor came to know about this, he could not do anything about it, but he was not really worried that those people from the four families would harm Baili Jia Jue. What he really worried about was that once Baili Jia Jue was annoyed, he might fall into the demon’s path without being aware of it.
Shadow was aware of the Retired Emperor’s worries, so some of the things he prefered not to let His Highness take action on his own.
However, he knew that His Highness was truly p.i.s.sed off today. From his reaction during the day, Shadow was very clear that there would be follow-ups of this matter.
“Summon Bai Mei.” Baili Jia Jue stood under the spa.r.s.e tree shadow and casually played with the tail ring on his finger.
Shadow was stunned, and without any delay, Bai Mei was found and brought over.
Baili Jia Jue sat on the rattan wooden chair, holding his chin in one hand, whereas the other hand was flipping through a book. In a chilly manner, he asked, “Would you like to know where Hei Zhu is?”
Bai Mei did not understand why His Highness would suddenly mention Hei Zhu, she just felt that the atmosphere was a little bit awkward, and her body felt a little bit cold.
Baili Jia Jue flipped another page and said, “Let her have a look at the thing.”
When Bai Mei heard this, she turned around and saw Hei Zhu’s face which had already turned blue. Suddenly she panicked, and she knelt on the ground with a loud thud.
Bang!
