From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

"Yes. Why not?" He didn't look at her, and his voice was flat without any emotion.

Tang Yueer stood up slowly and said, "Mr. Bai, do you dare to take it?" As she spoke, she gently pulled the belt tied in front of her body and it was untied. The gauze coat on her shoulders slid down her shoulders, revealing her slender shoulders.

Bai Yanli's eyes suddenly darkened as he caught sight of the fallen clothes, and a hint of murderous intent burst out of his eyes.

*

The second floor of Tianxiang Tower.

Tang Wanru sat down, ordered a pot of wine, and looked towards the house that Bai Yanli had just walked into.

She can be sure.

Bai Yanli's changes are purposeful.

But she didn't know what the purpose of this change was. The candlelight in the house swayed gently, and the wine glass in Tang Wanru's hand also swayed gently.

She raised her head and the wine went into her heart.

*

The wine was poured into the glass in front of Bai Yanli. Tang Yueer was pouring the wine.

Her eyes were red from crying just now, and a strand of hair hung on the side of her face. Because she had just taken off her coat, she was now only wearing a tube top dress with her entire shoulders exposed.

"Mr. Bai, I really like you." Tang Yue'er gently pushed the wine in front of Bai Yanli with her slender hands. Her voice was soft and delicate, and sounded very gentle and trustworthy.

"After visiting Prince Wei's mansion, I was already distracted and my mind was wandering." She said in a soft voice and sat down opposite Bai Yanli.

Bai Yanli looked straight ahead and listened expressionlessly.

Tang Yue'er felt relieved when she saw that he didn't leave. As long as he didn't turn around and leave, there was hope. She glanced at him tenderly and said, "I know that Mr. Bai did have a reason to cancel my engagement."

"Because I was careless and fell into the lake in the Prince of Wei's mansion. It's also my fault that I can't swim and I had to rely on a man to save my life."

"In Longquan Temple." She looked at Bai Yan affectionately and continued, "I accidentally ran into Zhou Ziyue, my savior who saved my life in the Prince of Wei's Mansion. So I was very grateful and met with him privately."

Her words explained Bai Yanli's questioning of her in the flower garden. Anyway, what happened between her and Zhou Ziyue in the wing room was behind closed doors, and she didn't believe he could see much. As long as she acted with a clear conscience, then she would have a clear conscience.

Faced with this sentence, Bai Yanli remained speechless.

"Mr. Bai," Tang Yue'er said, "I have done so many wrong things, so many things that have ruined my reputation. It is only right and reasonable for you to cancel my engagement. I have no complaints at all."

"The marriage is called off, but how can I give up my love for you?" Tang Yue'er said, staring deeply at Bai Yanli without any scruples.

Bai Yanli said nothing. On the surface, he looked calm and composed, but his pupils were like those falling into an icy abyss, filled with ice that had not melted for thousands of years.

The fragrance wafted around his nose again, and it was Tang Yue'er who stood up and moved closer to his back.

"Mr. Bai, I've thought about it again and again. Instead of being in agony, I might as well come to you and tell you what's on my mind." She came gracefully behind him, "Today I will dedicate myself to you."

Seeing that he remained calm, Tang Yue'er tilted her head and said coquettishly, "I don't need you to be responsible, let alone marry me. Today I am following my heart and only want to give without asking for anything in return."

"Mr. Bai." As she spoke, her hand reached out to Bai Yanli's shoulder.

Bai Yanli stood up suddenly, without even turning his head, and said in a cold voice: "No need." Then he walked straight forward.

"Mr. Bai!" Tang Yue'er stood there and stared at him, "Are you afraid of me?"

Bai Yanli paused.

Tang Yueer continued to ask: "If it wasn't you, why didn't you even dare to look back at me?"

She remembered her mother's analysis, so she asked bluntly: "Mr. Bai, you actually like me, right? Otherwise, why did you see me meeting Prince Zhou in Longquan Temple? You have always cared about me. You broke off my engagement only because you were angry about my behavior. You..."

"Hooray!"

Bai Yanli's eyes suddenly darkened, and it was as if something in his brain collapsed, and a large number of memories swept in.

Blood! Killing! Betrayal! Adultery!

The corpse being eaten by hungry wolves, the screams in the yard where he couldn't escape in time, the woman's screams of sexual satisfaction in the bedroom, the child stabbing him with a sharp knife...

Blood spilled everywhere.

Memory freezes at a certain point.

In the outer courtyard of the Bai family, Bai Yanli stood outside the bedroom, listening to the moans coming from his wife in the room.

Tang Yue'er panted and asked, "Ziyue, you still like me, right? Hmm? You've been thinking about me all these years, right?"

"Yes." The man's voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of impatience. "Yuer, I like you, I love you, I miss you like crazy. Seeing you is the only belief that kept me from dying in the desert. You are my motivation and hope to come back in the end. Yueer, I miss you, I want you! I want you!"

"Well!"

The room was filled with overwhelming noise.

There were constant screams of killing outside.

Bai Yanli stood at the door in a daze, his eyes turned from the bedroom to the killing field in the yard. This group of killers broke in suddenly, and as soon as they entered the door, they killed everyone without mercy, regardless of gender or age. He held a sword and confronted them for a while, but found that this group of killers was very professional and they were no match at all.

So he called his wife Tang Yue'er, who had been hiding in the room, to escape together.

But I never expected to hear such a voice.

Zi Yue?

Bai Yanli stood at the door, blood dripping from the sword in his hand onto the ground. That was the new emperor's name.

He suddenly remembered that he didn't hear any sound when the killers came in through the back door.

Someone opened the door for them.

It was his wife Tang Yueer who opened the door for them!

Thinking of this, Bai Yanli staggered. He clenched the sword tightly and looked at the ruined battlefield.

No.

He couldn't win. He had to go.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. He wants to save his life and then plan for the future.

So Bai Yanli clenched his sword and was about to leave, but as he left, he thought of his son in the small room.

He stopped, turned around and walked back.

He kicked open the door of the wing room and saw an eight-year-old boy sitting there reading a book.

"Aqi, follow dad."

"Where are you going?" The young boy's face was surprisingly calm, as if he was completely unaware of the killing outside.

"Let's leave here." Bai Yanli said, reaching out to hug him.

"I'm not leaving." The young man replied sternly.

"Aqi, now is not the time to throw a tantrum." He has only one child, who has been spoiled since childhood. He loves him very much and has a somewhat willful temper.

Without saying anything, he reached out and picked up the child.

The child had just been picked up.

Suddenly, a sharp blade pierced directly into his heart. Bai Yanli's pupils widened suddenly, and he looked at the young man's small hand holding the sharp blade.

That was the child he raised with great difficulty.

That was the hand he had held since childhood.

Even at this time, he did not loosen his arms around him, but his body became unstable and he fell down.

Bai Yiqi broke free from his arms and stood aside coldly.

He watched Bai Yanli crawling on the ground, looking in agony.

His face was very cold: "Where should I go?"

"Humph, my father is back." The young man said word by word, "I'm going to be the crown prince!"

"You fool!"
