Qingyu Courtyard.

When Liu came in, Tang Yue'er had already woken up. She was lying on the bed in a daze. Her face was pale and her eyes were dull, as if she had a serious illness.

Liu sat on the edge of the bed with a frown on her face.

Now the word has spread outside that Tang Yue'er seduced Zhou Ziyue in Prince Wei's palace.

Liu didn't want to provoke Tang Yue'er.

Now that things have come to this, we can only find another way.

But she was also really confused. Why did Prince Zhou just push all the responsibilities back to Tang Yue'er?

Wasn’t he protecting Tang Yue’er before?

I really don't understand what this man is doing?

Liu sighed and comforted Tang Yue'er: "Yu'er, get up and eat something."

Tang Yue'er lay on the bed with a weak look on her face, staring at the ceiling, as if she didn't hear what Liu said at all.

"Yuer?" Liu called again.

"He is lying to me." Tang Yue'er, who seemed to be in a trance, suddenly said this.

Liu didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

A line of tears flowed from the corners of Tang Yue'er's eyes. She suddenly turned over from the bed as if she was stimulated by something. Her lips were pale and she said, "Zhou Ziyue! He is lying to me!"

Liu didn't understand what she meant: "Yuer, why did he lie to you?"

"It's fake!" Tang Yue'er said angrily while lying on the bed, "What he told me about the Marquis's conviction was fake! Mother! He lied to me!"

These words came out of nowhere. Seeing that she was in a bad state, Liu thought that she might be speaking in anger, so she comforted her, "Yuer, don't let your imagination run wild."

"I'm not imagining things." Tang Yue'er's eyes became clearer. She said, "Mom, if he really loved me, how could he have the heart to push all the responsibility back onto me?"

"He clearly knew how devastating such words would be to me."

"That may not be the case." Liu frowned, "Maybe he has other ideas."

"Other ideas?" Tang Yue'er thought it was ridiculous. "What other ideas are more important than my reputation? What other ideas make him slander me at all costs? Mom, he doesn't love me anymore."

Speaking of this, Tang Yueer's eyes suddenly became wet.

Tang Yue'er is weak now, and her thoughts may be extreme. Liu just comforts her: "Yu'er, don't think about these things for now. You need to have a good rest now."

"It's all fake." Tang Yue'er wiped her tears and said, "He no longer loves me. He fell in love with Tang Wanru, so he made up a reason just to get rid of me and make me stop pestering him so that he can welcome Tang Wanru into his house!"

"Yuer." Liu still wanted to comfort her.

"Mom, this must be the case." Tang Yue'er said, "It turns out that the Zhou Shizi who loves me would never treat me like this."

Thinking of the time Zhou Ziyue had spent with her under the moonlight, and the promise he had made to her, Tang Yue'er felt her heart ache.

"He changed his mind, and he wanted to pretend to be righteous." Tang Yue'er felt it was ridiculous. She laughed and said, "What a clever plan."

"Oh." Tang Yue'er sneered and said to Liu, "Mom, it's not that I love him so much that I can't help myself. I just think it's a pity."

"If the Yongning Marquisate is not convicted, then we will not be able to watch Tang Wanru being convicted."

Tang Yue'er's expression instantly became extremely cold and indifferent: "It's really a great regret in life to watch Tang Wanru suffer a fate worse than death!"

She said through gritted teeth.

Liu felt that there was no need to draw conclusions so early. She comforted Tang Yue'er, "Yu'er, don't think about Zhou Ziyue's affairs anymore. As you said, whether he loves you or not, his affairs have nothing to do with you. Now that your father has sent an invitation to the Bai family, it is the right thing for you to marry Bai Yanli."

Hearing this, Tang Yue'er let out a light breath with a pale face: "My reputation is like this now, will the Bai family still want me?"

"Yuer." Liu was very confident about this. "Do you still remember why you told me Bai Yanli rejected you?"

Tang Yue'er seemed to recall something.

"He said you were touched." Liu curled the corners of her lips, "Yuer, that means he saw it."

Yes, Bai Yanli saw it.

He saw that it was Zhou Ziyue who laid hands on her, not that she took the initiative to seduced Zhou Ziyue as rumored.

Now the rumors outside are naturally ineffective on the Bai family.

"But he rejected me."

"No hurry." Liu's eyes darkened. "Don't worry, the truth is in everyone's heart. As long as the Bai family accepts the invitation, you will definitely be able to marry into the Bai family."

Tang Yueer's eyes lit up.

White House.

"Second Master, this is the eighth color scheme of Baimei Cream."

Bai Yanli sat at the table and spread the snow-white paste in the small porcelain jar handed to him by the servant on the back of his hand.

The back of his hand immediately turned pale.

The servant said nervously, "This version was modified according to the Second Young Master's request. The color is closer to skin color and closer to natural color."

Bai Yanli seemed to be oblivious.

wrong.

Bai Yanli's dark-black pupils narrowed slightly. This was not a natural white at all.

He had seen that white color.

I think of Tang Wanru's beautiful face.

The cold white with a barely noticeable neon pink was a color he could never forget. After seeing the color of her skin, it seemed that no other color could catch his eye.

Thinking of that face that seemed to be glowing in the moonlight at night, Bai Yanli curled his fingers inadvertently, with a faint light in his eyes.

"Second Young Master?" the servant asked nervously. They had already revised several versions in the past few days, and they would go crazy if they revised it again.

"That's it." Bai Yanli reached out and pushed the thing out. How could the Creator's masterpiece be imitated casually by humans?

Why bother with a color you can’t get?

The servant retreated with the small object in his hands, as if he had been granted amnesty.

Bai Yanli raised his head inadvertently and glanced at himself in the bronze mirror.

He bent his long fingers and tapped lightly on the table, making a few rhythmic and crisp "da da" sounds.

Tang Wanru’s words flashed through my mind.

How did that woman know that he would have bad luck? Thinking of this, Bai Yanli narrowed his eyes.

"This Tang family is so shameless!" At this moment, an angry shout came from outside the door, and then Bai Songrong, wearing a light green python robe, walked in quickly.

Behind him followed his wife Ye.

Bai Songrong is Bai Yanli's elder brother, in charge of Jiangnan's business. He has a hot temper.

"What happened?" Bai Yanli asked curiously.

Bai Songrong's wife Ye Qinghe was wearing a light blue dress, with her hair tied up in a simple bun and a green hairpin inserted behind her head. She looked very gentle. While pouring tea for Bai Songrong to cool down, she said to Bai Yanli, "The Tang family sent an invitation, mentioning the marriage with the Tang family more than ten years ago, saying that you should marry Tang Yue'er, the second daughter of the Tang family."

As soon as Ye finished speaking, Bai Songrong stood up and said, "At the beginning, our Bai family returned to the capital as agreed. We bought a house in the capital for the marriage with the Tang family, and moved our business to the capital. My father wrote a letter of marriage proposal with full sincerity, but he didn't expect that after the Tang family received the letter, the letter fell into oblivion and there was no news at all!"

"Now he brings up the marriage as if nothing happened and shamelessly asks Yan Li to marry his daughter. It's simply ridiculous!" Bai Songrong was very angry.

"Calm down, Songrong." Ye advised gently, "Think about it, at that time, the second daughter of the Tang family was flirting with noblemen everywhere and was doing very well in the aristocratic circle. How could our Bai family, a mere merchant, be looked up to? Besides, we had just arrived in the capital at that time and had no foundation, so naturally people would not want to marry into the Bai family!"

"Now that the Bai family has some foundation, she is willing."

"What a joke! If she wants to get married, she can get married. If she doesn't want to get married, she doesn't have to get married. What does she think the Bai Mansion is?" Bai Songrong sat down angrily.

Bai Yanli saw the post on the table, stretched out his slender fingers to pick it up and look at it, and couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his lips.
