Bai Xueying did convince herself successfully. But Bai Feifei still feels unfair in her heart. Bai Feifei gradually fell in love with the Crown Prince since she was a little girl. Until now, it lasts at least seven or eight years.
However, her seven or eight years of affection is not worthy of a few sweet words of that woman, so how could Bai Feifei be not angry for this?
In fact, Bai Feifei knows very well that from the moment when the Bai family decides to support the Third Prince, she and the Crown Prince are doomed to a fruitless result.
However, Bai Feifei is not reconciled. Although she also regards the family and status as the most important thing, her expectation has already been deeply rooted in her heart and would never be erased.
It was okay because family and reason can make her suppress her feelings.
But now everything is different. The man she likes for so many years has another woman around him who can accompany him openly, which makes Bai Feifei feel very jealous.
Although Bai Feifei knew Yan Ling a long time ago, and also heard about her and the Crown Prince’s story, after all, it is just a rumor, and Bai Feifei never believes it.
In Bai Feifei’s mind, the Crown Prince is like a God. It seems that he belongs to the immortal in heaven, so how can he be attracted to common women? No one can match that Godlike person except her.
After knowing her father’s decision, Bai Feifei didn’t say a word, because she understood that they were raised by the family and they gave her a luxury life. Then, comparing with the benefits and status of the family, how could her affection matter?
Bai Feifei thought that she had already put down her infatuation for the Crown Prince after that, but, today, when she finds that there is another woman beside him, and the Crown Prince whom she has been dreaming of in her heart is smiling at another woman tenderly, Bai Feifei feels that she is going crazy with jealousy.
“Sister…” Bai Xueying seems to be aware of the abnormality of Bai Feifei, so she quickly stretches out her hand, quietly pulls her sleeve and reminds her.
Being reminded by Bai Xueying, Bai Feifei suddenly comes back to her senses. She takes a deep breath and tries to adjust her facial expression to the best. Then she crosses the threshold and walks towards Liang He and Yan Ling who are not far away.
“Your Highness.” After the salute, Bai Feifei looks at Yan Ling and nods. Although she wears an elegant smile as usual, the hatred in her eyes cannot lie.
Yan Ling nods stiffly to her as a greeting. But… Yan Ling catches Bai Feifei’s eyesight, and feels a little surprised.
Yan Ling and Bai Feifei didn’t officially meet each other before. Even if she feels embarrassed because of what happened yesterday and today, she shouldn’t have hated her that much. Yan Ling wonders.
Yan Ling takes a look at Bai Xueying who is standing beside Bai Feifei. Bai Xueying looks as normal as usual and doesn’t show the slightest panic or anything special.
This contrast makes Yan Ling a little confused. She suspected that Bai Xueying was the murderer, but when she sees Bai Feifei’s performance, she doubts her previous judgment.
There is no reason for Bai Feifei to hate Yan Ling inexplicably, but her eyes did tell Yan Ling just now— she hates Yan Ling.
This tongue twister-like sentence lingers in Yan Ling’s brain, which lets Yan Ling feels upset. At first, Yan Ling thought that the case would be easier as long as there was a suspect. But she didn’t expect that the situation seems to be more complicated now.
Liang He has sharp eyes. Bai Feifei’s action cannot be more obvious, even Yan Ling has noticed that, how can Liang He not?
However, Liang He doesn’t think so much now. He just subconsciously takes a step forward, hides Yan Ling behind him, and then looks at Bai Feifei vigilantly.
If there is anything that hurts the most in this world, it must be the person you like stares at you alertly and suspiciously standing opposite to you.
Bai Feifei now has a deep understanding. She only feels that all her disguises have been fragmented in front of Liang He’s eyes. Because she loves him, she is completely injured.
There is a moment when Bai Feifei wants to tell him her crush on him in these years recklessly.
By telling Liang He, and Yan Ling at the same time, Bai Feifei wants to tell Yan Ling how she has been loving Liang He for so many years with all her heart and that Yan Ling is not worthy of Liang He’s love at all.
But after all, it’s just an impulsive idea in Bai Feifei’s heart. After so many years of being the first daughter of Bai’s family and having been educated for so many years, it is impossible for her to lose her mind and make all the things come true.
“What can we sisters do for you, Your Highness?” Bai Feifei finally asks with a smile.
Liang He is dissatisfied with her because of her previous action. Just when he is about to refuse, Yan Ling pulls his sleeve. Liang He slightly turns his head and sees Yan Ling slightly shaking her head, looking at him.
Liang He instantly understands what Yan Ling wants to express— the two sisters are now their suspects. By letting them lead the way, they can observe their reaction and then make some judgment.
“We still want to check the room first in which Bai Yiyi’s died to see if there are any clues. Please lead the way, My Lady.” Liang He says calmly.
Bai Feifei nods, then makes a gesture of invitation, and they enter the Imperial Censor’s House. Imperial Censor Bai doesn’t appear and they don’t know whether he is not at home, or he just doesn’t want to see them.
However, to some extent, it is also in line with Liang He and Yan Ling’s mind. Out of sight, out of mind, and they come to investigate the case thoroughly, not to see what the old man looks like.
It’s best if he hides all the time.
However, it seems that Imperial Censor Bai doesn’t worry at all about what Liang He can find out, which is really worth considering deeply.
Liang He thinks that there are two possibilities: Imperial Censor Bai doesn’t know the real murderer of this case, or he does not find out the suspect in his house, so he doesn’t worry.
Or, Imperial Censor Bai had cleared all the evidence before they came. Everything is clean, so he isn’t afraid of being searched.
Thinking of this, Liang He frowns involuntarily. If the latter is the case, things would be troublesome.
