Chapter 345: The Bad-headed Male Protagonist: Reincarnated as the Ex-wife of a Poor Family’s Top Sch
Chun Liu's face was filled with indignation: "Although the cousin is not yet of marriageable age, boys and girls are not allowed to sit at the same table when they are seven years old. Your Excellency stayed in the cousin's room last night. If this gets out, I'm afraid it will be bad for both the cousin and your Excellency's reputation!"
"My Lord has promised Miss that he will be with Miss forever. I think the relationship between you and Miss is not that simple!"
Chunliu had very deft hands. She did not stop moving her hands at all while talking and inserted the hairpins and step-shaking ornaments into her bun one by one.
Lin Shuwan reached out and tucked her falling hair behind her ears, and said softly, "I believe in my husband!"
Bai Yunzhi had been standing outside the door for some time, listening to all the conversations between Chunliu and Lin Shuwan. His heart moved slightly, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and he walked into the house and called out, "Madam."
Chun Liu was startled and quickly bowed, "Greetings, sir!"
Bai Yunzhi's expression was still gentle and calm, as if he hadn't heard anything, and said, "Well, get out! I'll take care of the rest!"
Chunliu glanced at Lin Shuwan and asked for her consent.
Lin Shuwan nodded, still sitting in front of the dressing table, drawing her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil in her hand, completely ignoring Bai Yunzhi.
Bai Yunzhi walked forward, bent over and took Lin Shuwan into his arms, and said, "Madam, why don't you pay attention to your husband?"
Lin Shuwan remained silent. Bai Yunzhi rested his chin on her shoulder and explained softly:
"Madam, you also know that I have been taking care of Yuanniang since she was a child. Although I am her cousin, I am as good as her father. She was sick and couldn't leave me alone. I couldn't bear to leave her alone, so I didn't pay attention to the situation for a while.
But don't worry, I read a book outside last night, and I didn't leave until Yuanniang's fever subsided. I didn't overstep my bounds. I just treat Yuanniang as my sister! Madam, please don't be jealous, okay?"
Lin Shuwan sighed, put down the eyebrow pencil in her hand, looked at Bai Yunzhi's face in the mirror, and said coldly: "If my husband wants to take my cousin as a concubine, I am not opposed to it!"
Bai Yunzhi looked at Lin Shuwan's cold face and slightly red eyes in the mirror. His heart tightened, he stood up straight, stretched out his hand to hold Lin Shuwan's shoulders, stared into her eyes, and said seriously:
"I knew you were overthinking it, Madam. I really treat Yuanniang as my sister. If I really wanted to marry her, why would I marry you? You are the only one in my heart!"
"Madam, you saved my life. The only person I want is you!"
Lin Shuwan looked at the deep affection in his eyes and resisted the urge to sneer back.
There was a reason why the original owner was controlled by Bai Yunzhi.
Bai Yunzhi was already handsome, and his affectionate eyes stared at her, as if he had given all his love to her. No wonder the original owner couldn't escape his affectionate trap and was deceived into losing everything.
Lin Shuwan lowered her eyes, tears falling down her cheeks. She looked hurt and said in a hoarse voice, "Husband, I believe you. But I don't believe my cousin. Yesterday I saw my cousin crying in the garden. I wanted to go over and ask her, but she said..."
"She told me not to be complacent, because my husband will be hers sooner or later! The friendship between her and my husband since childhood is not something an outsider like me can interfere with!"
"Husband, tell me, if you heard this, what would you do?"
After listening to this, Bai Yunzhi felt a little more dissatisfied with Yuanniang. Ever since he decided to marry Lin Shuwan, Yuanniang had been making a fuss. He had comforted her several times and even promised to marry her as his second wife when she reached the age of 15.
But the prerequisite for all this is to stabilize Lin Shuwan. Once he has borrowed the power of the Lin family, gained a firm foothold in the capital, and won face in front of the emperor, he will have the ability to confront the Lin family and give her everything she wants.
As a result, now, not long after getting married, Yuanniang repeatedly spoke rudely in front of Lin Shuwan and tried to sow discord between him and Lin Shuwan.
If Lin Shuwan hadn't been deeply in love with him, they would have probably been in a rage by now!
Bai Yunzhi lowered his eyebrows, hiding the irritation in his eyes, and said, "It was my fault. I didn't manage the distance between me and my cousin, which made her have thoughts that she shouldn't have. From now on, I will keep my distance from her and won't meet her anymore. When she reaches the age of 15 next year, I will marry her off. Is that okay?"
"Don't cry, your crying is breaking your heart!"
If these things were reported back to the Lin Mansion by Lin Shuwan, Lord Lin would probably give him a warning again tomorrow!
Bai Yunzhi reached out his hand and gently wiped away Lin Shuwan's tears. He looked at the bright and beautiful face in front of him. When she cried, she looked even more charming than Yuanniang.
Lin Shuwan nodded slightly, leaned in Bai Yunzhi's arms, and said with sobs: "I feel relieved that my husband can say this. But what about my cousin? If she continues to pester me, what should I do?"
Bai Yunzhi gently stroked her back and comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. I will take care of this matter."
Perhaps it was because Bai Yunzhi gave a death order and warned Yuanniang, Lin Shuwan never saw Yuanniang causing trouble in front of her again.
The third day is the day to return home.
Early in the morning, Bai Yunzhi and Lin Shuwan dressed up, loaded a carriage with return gifts, and drove to the Lin Mansion with their servants.
When the carriage arrived at the Lin residence, Lin's father and mother had been waiting at the door for a long time.
As soon as Lin's mother saw Lin Shuwan, she couldn't wait to go forward, holding her hand tightly, looking her up and down carefully, her eyes full of heartache and concern.
"My son, are you used to living in your husband's house? Have you been wronged?"
Lin Shuwan smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, mother, my husband treats me very well, and I am very happy in the Bai family."
Bai Yunzhi also hurried forward to greet them, "Meet mother-in-law, father-in-law."
Mrs. Lin looked at Lin Shuwan's rosy complexion and good condition, and raised her lips slightly, feeling relieved: "That's good! Let's go and talk to mother!"
Lin Shuwan turned around and looked at Bai Yunzhi.
Bai Yunzhi smiled gently and nodded.
Lin Shuwan took Mrs. Lin's hand and they walked towards the backyard.
Bai Yunzhi was called by Lord Lin to the study for a talk.
Father Lin showed great interest in Bai Yunzhi's situation in the court, and asked Bai Yunzhi about the problems he encountered in officialdom, his opinions on government policies, etc.
Bai Yun responded one by one neither humbly nor arrogantly, his words were sincere and his demeanor was calm.
Father Lin always had an unspeakable grudge against this son-in-law who came from a poor family. But despite this, he had to admit that this young man was indeed extraordinary.
At the age of only 18, he was able to win the imperial examination and become the top scholar that everyone admired. He was so young, promising and talented that it was truly impressive.
After Lin's father's investigation, he recognized his talent and knowledge more and admired Bai Yunzhi even more.
At the same time, Lin Shuwan and Mrs. Lin were having a pleasant conversation in the backyard.
Mrs. Lin quietly asked about their married life, and Lin Shuwan blushed and responded shyly, reassuring Mrs. Lin.
