Bai Xueying is an opportunist and she knows how to seize opportunities. She would definitely not let such a good opportunity slip by, therefore, she intentionally provoked Yan Ling.
Yan Ling doesn’t know what Bai Xueying is thinking about. If she does, she will feel funny.
If it had been somebody else, he or she would have stopped by now. While Bai Xueying still wants…
In fact, Bai Xueying knows how to behave. However, whenever she is with Yan Ling, it’s easy for her to lose her mind. Maybe it’s merely because she is jealous. After all, Bai Xueying has worked so hard to get a higher status, but Yan Ling just got everything she wanted as easily as it was a piece of cake .
Except for this, it may have been resulted from the two conflicts happened between them formerly. After all, Bai Xueying was at a disadvantage in both, it’s natural for her to feel furious in her heart.
“You are right, Lady Yan. But just now I saw the Crown Prince left alone. May I ask why?” Bai Xueying says with no good intentions.
If it were on normal occasions, Yan Ling would have been able to notice the implied meaning of Bai Xueying’s sentence. But at present, Yan Ling’s heart is in a mess. It would be OK to hear something else, but when it comes to Liang He, Yan Ling is at a loss.
Yan Ling has suspected that Bai Xueying might be the chief culprit. After all, Hong’ye is just a maid and she had no reason to kill Bai Yiyi. What’s more, she was able to leave from the tunnel in Imperial Censor Bai’s Mansion.
Although it’s a little bit hasty, this series of events seems to have been planned in advance as if they have been carried out according to certain procedures which had been schemed formerly.
Now Bai Xueying mentions Liang He’s leaving, which makes Yan Ling subconsciously think that Bai Xueying has been observing them secretly, and she knows the reason why Liang He has left. She is now standing here to provoke her deliberately.
On thinking of this, how can Yan Ling not be irritated? Suddenly, her expressions change and she shoots an indignant look at Bai Xueying with a gloomy face.
Although Bai Xueying has guessed that Yan Ling would get angry because of her provocation, she didn’t expect her reaction to be so fierce. As a result, she is stunned and remains dumbfounded for a moment.
After she collects herself, Bai Xueying feels surer about her previous judgment. If not, why is Yan Ling so angry with her?
Some people just like to harm others even if it does not necessarily benefit themselves. Just like Bai Xueying, seeing Yan Ling so angry, she feels a strange sense of satisfaction in her heart.
Bai Xueying thinks that all human beings without exception have weaknesses. Yan Ling seems to care very much about Liang He’s attitude towards her. This is Yan Ling’s weakness then.
Bai Xueying involuntarily recalls their previous conflicts. Although she has been in the disadvantageous position, as long as she tries to alienate the relationship between Liang He and Yan Ling constantly, no one knows who will be the winner in the end!
Bai Xueying did this for her own reasons. In fact, it was the Crown Prince that Bai Xueying wanted to seek affection at the beginning, but she found that the Crown Prince had been attracted by Yan Ling.
Bai Xueying had planned to get rid of Yan Ling through Bai Yiyi. However, during this process, Bai Xueying noticed that Liang He really cares about Yan Ling.
Since the situation is just like this, it won’t be easy for Bai Xueying to achieve her goal. Therefore, she changed her mind to seek affection from the Third Prince. However, just because of Yan Ling again, she met difficulties with him.
To put it in another way, Yan Ling is a stumbling block on Bai Xueying’s way to higher status, which will not disappear even if she tries to ignore.
Just because of this, Bai Xueying set herself against Yan Ling everywhere. Sometimes she even did something that was not beneficial to anyone including herself just to make Yan Ling feel bad.
Yan Ling notices the seemingly innocent smile on Bai Xueying’s face as if she did it accidentally without knowing what she’s just said.
However, such an expression makes Yan Ling feel sick.
If it were in the past, Yan Ling may consider whether she had offended the lady somewhere so that this lady Bai just set herself against her every time. But after experiencing so many things, Yan Ling doesn’t think so any more.
People who want to set themselves against others don’t need them to do anything to cause the dislike. Even if you got to know about the reason, you might not be able to change the fact. In this case, why do you have to go to the bottom of the matter in order to get a possibly inexplicable answer to make yourself feel uncomfortable?
Although she is in a rage, Yan Ling doesn’t forget that she is now in the Bai Mansion and Bai Xueying obviously wants to irritate her. Although she doesn’t know her purpose, Yan Ling will not fall into the trap so easily.
Yan Ling manages to suppress the anger in her heart. Taking a deep breath, and shooting a black look at Bai Xueying, she goes out without any hesitation as if she was avoiding something dirty.
Seeing Yan Ling leave in a hurry without talking back, Bai Xueying feels that she seems have really won this time.
It seems that the relationship between the Crown Prince and Lady Yan is not as good as it is said. In this case, it is not impossible to achieve her goal if she makes a good use of this.
Looks at Yan Ling’s back, Bai Xueying forms another plan in her heart.
As soon as she gets out of Imperial Censor Bai’s Mansion, standing at the gate, Yan Ling can’t wait to take a deep breath. She then slowly exhales as if she was letting out all the foul feelings she holds in her chest.
According to what Liang He has told her, Yan Ling should go back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion directly. But Yan Ling is still worrying about Liang He.
Thus Yan Ling decides to go to Mu Qingqiu’s clinic first to confirm that Liang He is safe and sound before she goes back home .
Sitting in the carriage, Yan Ling suddenly feels it funny that she and Liang He have been going back and forth between Imperial Censor Bai’s Mansion and Mu Qingqiu’s clinic after they came out of the Palace. It’s really ironic and funny.
But after laughing, Yan Ling starts worrying about Liang He’s health again. She has seen how terrible his suffering was. It is not near to Mu Qingqiu’s clinic. She wonders whether Liang He was able to hold on until he got there.
Then Yan Ling thinks of Bai Xueying, her hateful smile and the provocative meaning deliberately displayed in her tone, which makes Yan Ling angrier and makes a decision — there is still a long way to go in the future, and she must not let go of Bai Xueying.
