After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 462: As timid as a mouse

Just as Lu Shaoxuan was casually escorting Bai Ningning back to the magnificent and majestic gate of the Bai Mansion, an unexpected scene suddenly came into his eyes.

Bai Ningchuan walked hurriedly toward the door with a panicked look on his face.

His figure was like a gust of wind, as if there was something extremely urgent waiting for him to deal with.

Even at night, under the moonlight, one could see his furrowed brows and slightly anxious face, reflecting an urgent and solemn atmosphere.

Just as he was about to mount his horse, a familiar voice sounded.

"Where are you going so late, Ningchuan?"

Bai Ningchuan rushed out of the mansion in a panic. He wanted to find Lu Shaoxuan and his sister.

Just then, a shout was heard, and he hurriedly pulled the reins and jumped off the horse.

Looking closely, the person coming was Lu Shaoxuan!

In the carriage behind Lu Shaoxuan, sat Bai Ningning, looking dejected and listless.

Seeing this scene, the big stone in Bai Ningchuan's heart finally fell to the ground.

He originally thought that he had returned late enough, but he didn't expect that Bai Ningning had not returned home yet.

Seeing his sister at this moment, although she looked a little depressed, at least she was safe and sound, his tense heart finally relaxed a little.

Of course, there was no need to worry about her personal safety, after all, it was Lu Shaoxuan who was traveling with her.

Not to mention that Lu Shaoxuan himself is quite powerful, just his status and position in the Bai Mansion are enough to protect her, so there is really nothing to worry about in this regard.

However, it was already so late at night, and the two of them still hadn't returned, and they were alone in a place. If this matter accidentally leaked out and was known to others, it would be very detrimental to Ningning's reputation!

You know, although the customs of the Chu Dynasty were open, a woman's reputation was still of vital importance. Any slight mistake might lead to a lot of criticism or even verbal abuse and accusations.

It is really hard to calm down when I think about these potential risks.

Fortunately, they are back now.

"You still remember to come so late, you two..." Before Bai Ningchuan finished his words, he saw Bai Ningning, dressed in men's clothes, slowly jumping off the carriage.

His originally furrowed brows instantly twisted even tighter, his eyes fell directly on Bai Ningning, full of doubt and puzzlement, and then asked: "Why did you change into men's clothes?"

This question seemed to make the air around them stagnate a little.

"It's more than just a change! This is a complete transformation! If this isn't your biological sister, I would never believe that the person in front of me is actually a woman!"

As he spoke, Lu Shaoxuan muttered to himself while gently placing the fake Adam's apple in his hand on Bai Ningning's slender neck and gestured.

As he moved, Bai Ningchuan's eyes also focused on Bai Ningning, wanting to see what this so-called change was all about.

Bai Ningning was naturally unhappy and reached out to pull him away.

Bai Ningchuan understood it at a glance, and it was a perfect disguise.

"This is simply nonsense!" Bai Ningchuan stared at his sister.

"It's more than just nonsense, it's really courageous.

First she hid it from me, then she asked someone to follow me, to see where I went, and then she would go there. She really played a good military strategy." Lu Shaoxuan added fuel to the fire.

"Second brother, you said you wouldn't betray me?" Bai Ningning shouted anxiously.

"Second brother?" Bai Ningchuan had a headache. When did the relationship between the two of them become so good?

"Yes, that's right. From today on, I am her second brother.

"Oh! I didn't betray you! I swear to God, I would never do such a thing.

Besides, I didn't say a word about where you went!

I just told you what you did in the afternoon.

Your eldest brother is so smart. He is so resourceful and thoughtful. He must know it in his heart without me saying anything!

I really can't do anything about this matter. I can't intervene at all." Lu Shaoxuan spread his hands to show that he was innocent.

"I won't talk to you anymore." Bai Ningning pretended to be angry and quickly ran back to the house. Her eldest brother would definitely beat her up if he knew where she had been.

"You..." Bai Ningchuan immediately realized where Lu Shaoxuan was talking about.

"You took her to a brothel?" She reached out to hit him.

"Hey, why are you so unreasonable? Did I take her there? Am I crazy? This girl has learned to deceive people. My servant saw her return to the Bai Mansion with his own eyes, and I don't know when she came out on her own.

Oh, and by the way, she didn’t choose the place blindly, she sent people to follow me to see where I went and where she went.

She also knew to find a safe place. If it weren't for her, I would still be living happily there.

I advise you to keep a close eye on her. I caught her this time, but if I can't keep an eye on her next time, maybe the sisters will go on their own. Go back and teach this little girl a lesson. She is so bold.

Okay, don't thank me, I'm leaving."

"Hey!"

Lu Shaoxuan didn't give Bai Ningchuan a chance to speak, and he mounted his horse and escaped in time.

After all, this girl was handed over to him today, and he still has the responsibility to take care of her, but he did not take good care of her. Fortunately, he sent her back in time, otherwise she would not be able to pass Mrs. Bai's test.

Don’t bring your kids to play next time. It’s boring and threatening.

Bai Ningning returned to her yard, immediately removed her makeup, washed up, and went to bed.

Her maidservant grumbled as she served her.

"Miss, next time this happens, you must take me with you. It's too dangerous. I'm almost scared to death."

"What are you afraid of? My brother will come to me when he comes back."

"Well, I heard from the servant that the young master asked if you were back when he came back. When he heard that you hadn't come back yet, he left the house immediately to look for you. Fortunately, we met."

"Are you stupid? Can't you just tell him that I'm already asleep? How can he come into my room to check?" Bai Ningning was really worried about this maid. Why was she so timid?

"I dare not. I am also extremely worried. I wish the young master could find it for you right away."

"Okay, okay, I won't go next time. I didn't have a good time today, and you scared me. Come on, I want to go to bed."

"Yes." The four maids in the room quickly helped Bai Ningning take a bath, wash up, and then go to bed.

Bai Ningchuan came to Bai Ningning and was so angry that he laughed when he heard that she was asleep.

He was very brave when playing, but became timid when he got home.

No, I have to tell Xinyan tomorrow and keep her under control, otherwise I don’t know how much trouble she will cause.
