Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

The wind in late spring brings with it the heat of approaching summer, making the leaves rustle.

That day, Bai Zhiyuan got up early in the morning and sat at the table reading, but an uninvited guest came.

Wang Qing hurried to Bai Zhiyuan's study.

"What's the matter?" Bai Zhiyuan didn't even raise his head.

Wang Qing: "Miss, Chenxiang was outside the mansion early this morning and said he wanted to see you for something important."

Bai Zhiyuan then raised her head, without much emotion in her eyes. She asked, "What can she want from me?"

Wang Qing shook his head: "If you don't want to see her, I'll send her away."

Bai Zhiyuan paused and said, "Forget it, let her in."

In just a quarter of an hour, Chenxiang, led by Wang Qing, stepped into Bai Zhiyuan's study.

But after not seeing each other for two years, Chenxiang looked much more haggard. When she was in Bai's house, she was a pretty maid. Now she is in Prince Yan's house, so she must not be doing well. Although she tried to hide the haggard look on her face, Bai Zhiyuan could tell at a glance who she was. Chenxiang probably came here today to ask for something from her.

However, Bai Zhiyuan had seen the true face of this treacherous maid who was only interested in climbing up the social ladder in his previous life.

She wanted to see what other tricks she was going to come up with in this life.

Bai Zhiyuan said nothing, and Chenxiang felt a little uneasy. Although she used to be Bai Zhiyuan's maid, she had never been able to guess what this young lady was thinking.

At this moment, she stared at him straightly without saying anything, but Chenxiang still felt a sense of fear in his heart. After all, it was she who used Bai Zhiyuan's name to climb into the bed of King Yan Qi Zeyi and give birth to King Yan's eldest son.

However, she never expected that the Prince Yan's Mansion was nothing more than a fire pit. Once she jumped in, it would be difficult to get out. She could only try her best to survive in the Prince Yan's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Chenxiang's eyes became more determined. She raised her eyes and knelt down in front of Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan curled his lips, his mouth full of sarcasm, and said: "You are now the King of Yan's man. It's not appropriate for you to kneel to me like this."

Chen Xiang was anxious and kowtowed, saying, "Please forgive me, young lady. I have always wanted to explain to you what happened that day, but you left for the northern border not long after, so I never had the chance. Now that you are back, Chen Xiang can finally apologize to you."

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but applaud Chenxiang in her heart. What a good talker. She sneered, "Oh? Tell me what crime you have committed?"

Chen Xiang lowered her head and said, "I was delivering tea to the Prince of Yan that day, but he grabbed my hand and refused to let go. After all, I am of low status, so I dare not disobey the prince, so..."

She seemed to be unable to speak, so Bai Zhiyuan asked, "What is this? Why don't you say anything?"

Chenxiang was so ashamed that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Bai Zhiyuan: "If you don't say it, I will say it for you. You just took advantage of the situation and successfully became the woman of King Yan. After all, being the woman of King Yan has a much better future than being my maid."

Chen Xiang kowtowed fiercely: "Miss, it's not like that. I will never forget your kindness to me. But now that things have come to this, I am just a little maid and I was powerless that day."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered, "What a sharp-tongued girl. Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about today? Don't say you came to see me because you missed me. I've been back in Beijing for more than two months, and I haven't seen you be so attentive."

Chenxiang felt a little ashamed, but after thinking for a moment, she still spoke: "Miss, Chenxiang has no name or status in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, and is bullied by that concubine Jiang every day. Chenxiang is a worthless life, and it is not a pity to die, but Chenxiang is your maid. If people knew that she was treated like this in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, it would only make people think that people in the General's Mansion are easy to bully."

Bai Zhiyuan continued to sneer and did not respond. Chenxiang was indeed eloquent, otherwise he would not have become the favorite concubine of King Yan in his previous life.

Chen Xiang observed Bai Zhiyuan's expression while speaking. Seeing that she was always smiling coldly, she felt uneasy for a moment, but she still continued, "Miss, although I gave birth to the King of Yan's child, I have not even been able to see him since the birth of the child. Please help me out of a mother's heart."

Bai Zhiyuan said with a mocking look: "What's the point of you looking for me? Since you are the King of Yan's man, if you are wronged, you should naturally go to him and ask him to let you see your child. I think the King of Yan will not sit idly by for the sake of the child."

Chen Xiang choked and continued, "The King of Yan treated me as his mistress at first, so he treated me... I know that the King of Yan has no intention of me..."

"Bold!" Ling Xiao could no longer bear it. Ever since Chenxiang came in and said these words to her young lady, Ling Xiao could not hide her anger.

"You are not the one who can tarnish the young lady's reputation. You were shameless enough to climb into the bed of the King of Yan. Now that you are not doing well, you still have the nerve to come to the young lady."

Chen Xiang's face turned red and blue after being told this by Ling Xiao, and he was speechless for a long time. However, Bai Zhiyuan acted as if he didn't hear anything and didn't speak to stop Ling Xiao.

After a moment, Chenxiang turned his eyes and said to Bai Zhiyuan: "Miss, Chenxiang has a secret about the Prince of Yan's Mansion to tell you. Please help me for the sake of our former master-servant relationship."

Hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan sat up straight and said calmly, "What's the secret? Tell me about it."

Chenxiang hesitated and said, "This..."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered and said, "Since you have come to see me, show your sincerity. If you don't want to say it, then leave as soon as possible."

Chen Xiang was anxious at this point, and hurriedly said, "Miss, let me tell you. I went into Prince Yan's Mansion and found that Concubine Jiang of Prince Yan's Mansion had her face disfigured."

Bai Zhiyuan sneered: "That's it? Is there any secret about her disfigurement?"

Chen Xiang continued, "But Aunt Jiang hasn't appeared in public for a year. Since she adopted my son, I haven't been able to see him, so I tried my best to find out more, and finally discovered a secret of hers."

Chenxiang looked at the person in front of her steadily, but Bai Zhiyuan stared at her with cold eyes from beginning to end.

Chen Xiang pushed away the uneasiness in her heart and said, "I found out that the King of Yan hired a quack doctor for Madam Jiang. This doctor is good at making human skin masks."

Chen Xiang paused for a moment, and seeing that Bai Zhiyuan was still indifferent, she made up her mind and continued, "But this person didn't make a human skin mask for Madam Jiang, but for you, Miss. Jiang Muyun, she lives every day as you, Miss, and receives the favor of King Yan."

After Chenxiang finished speaking, he kept observing Bai Zhiyuan's expression.

However, Bai Zhiyuan's eyebrows flickered only when he heard the last sentence. He was surprisingly calm at other times.

Ling Xiao behind Bai Zhiyuan was already furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you continue to tarnish our young lady's reputation, I will tear your mouth apart."

Chen Xiang stared at Bai Zhiyuan motionlessly. Seeing how calm she was, without even a hint of anger, he suddenly understood and asked in a trembling voice, "You...you've always known about this?"

Bai Zhiyuan curled his lips and smiled: "You are smart, what a pity."

Now it was Chenxiang's turn to be scared. She pointed at Bai Zhiyuan with trembling fingers and was speechless.

Ling Xiao was also a little surprised and asked, "Miss, is what she said true?"

Bai Zhiyuan did not deny it.

Ling Xiao was furious: "This King Yan is too perverted. He actually blasphemed you like this..."

Bai Zhiyuan had already gotten over the initial anger she had when she saw this incident with her own eyes. She said expressionlessly, "Your information is completely useless to me. But tell me, how do you want me to help you?"

Chen Xiang stared at her blankly, and after a moment she came back to her senses. She said, "Miss, have you always known what King Yan feels about you?"

Bai Zhiyuan rarely answered her: "I just found out about it too."

Chenxiang: "Miss, Jiang Muyun is just your substitute. If you can marry into the Prince of Yan's Mansion..."

Bai Zhiyuan interrupted: "I won't marry into the Prince of Yan's Mansion."

Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately said, "Miss, now I just want to spend the rest of my life with my child. I beg you to grant my wish."

Bai Zhiyuan said, "Chenxiang, you are now from the Yanwang Mansion, not from my Bai Mansion. After all, this is your Yanwang Mansion's business, what does it have to do with me? Why should I help you?"

Chen Xiang's eyes flickered, and he said, "I know that Miss doesn't like Jiang Muyun. If Miss helps me, I will spread what I know. In this way, Jiang Muyun's reputation will be ruined, and King Yan will definitely not let her stay. By then, Jiang Muyun will be nothing more than an ant in Miss's hand, and you can do whatever you want with her."

Bai Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "In that case, let me see what you can do first. Besides, as long as you drive Jiang Muyun away, you will know how to please King Yan without my help."

Chen Xiang said, "I understand, Miss. After I drive Jiang Muyun away, the King of Yan may welcome a new princess. Then please help me keep my child and give us a way out."

Bai Zhiyuan's eyes were deep and dark, but he didn't say anything.

Chen Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, Miss. I will show you my sincerity."

After saying that, she kowtowed deeply to Bai Zhiyuan, then turned and left the Bai Mansion.
