Chapter 348: The Bad-headed Male Protagonist: Reincarnated as the Ex-wife of a Poor Family’s Top Sch
Bai Yunzhi walked quickly and hurried to see Yuanniang.
When he entered Baiyu Residence, he saw Yuanniang sitting sideways in the courtyard, surrounded by flowers and colorful butterflies. Yuanniang was half-kneeling on the ground in a white dress, like a blooming white lotus.
She held a delicate brush with the tip dipped in ink, and was concentrating on copying Buddhist scriptures. Her eyebrows were drooping, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly like butterfly wings, revealing a calm and focused expression.
A breeze blew by, bringing a slight coolness with it, and also blew up her long hair and clothes, making her look like a fairy who had descended to earth, floating in the air.
Bai Yunzhi's heart trembled suddenly and he walked forward quickly.
Yuanniang seemed to have just noticed someone coming. She slowly raised her head, tears in her eyes, and said softly, "Cousin..."
Bai Yunzhi looked at her pitiful appearance, the way she was ready to be picked, and his face turned red and his heart beat faster.
He helped Yuanniang up and comforted her softly, "Since you have admitted your mistakes, that's all. Don't act like you did the past two days. I have plans for the Lin family. Just wait for me. I will definitely give you everything you want, okay?"
Yuan Niang leaned into Bai Yunzhi's arms and said in a tender voice:
"Cousin, don't worry, I know everything! I was too willful before and I was jealous of Lin Shuwan, but I am willing to endure it for my cousin! I will never do this again! Cousin, please don't be angry with Yuanniang again, okay?"
Bai Yunzhi looked at Yuanniang and felt a soft touch. A dark light flashed in his eyes. Then he pulled Yuanniang into the room, closed the door, hugged Yuanniang tightly, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
The lips tossed and turned, rubbed repeatedly.
His kiss was fierce and intense, as if he wanted to prove something, without any consideration for Yuanniang at all.
His hands were also caressing gently.
Yuanniang let out a soft moan, her hands tightly grasping Bai Yunzhi's clothes, her heart filled with joy, and she took the initiative to respond.
The two bodies were very close to each other, and Yuanniang's deliberate seduction made Bai Yun's mind wander.
The two of them kissed for a long time, and Bai Yunzhi was very moved, but he didn't react at all.
His face flushed, his breathing became rapid, and sweat broke out on his face. He felt furious and wanted to find a way to vent his anger, but he couldn't find one!
Bai Yunzhi was filled with shame, anger and unwillingness, and pushed Yuanniang away violently.
Yuan Niang sat on the ground in astonishment, her face flushed, her eyes watery, looking at him aggrievedly: "Cousin, cousin...you, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Yunzhi suppressed his anger, feeling confused and uncertain. How could he be like this? Was he under some kind of evil spell?
Bai Yunzhi took a deep breath, suppressed his panic and fear, straightened his face, reached out to pull Yuanniang up, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, Yuanniang, it's my fault, I just offended you! You are still young, I shouldn't have treated you like this!"
Yuan Niang leaned in Bai Yunzhi's arms and sobbed, "Cousin, cousin, I don't blame you. I did it willingly. And I am happy too..."
She raised her tearful eyes and looked at Bai Yunzhi pitifully.
In the past, she wanted to get closer to Bai Yunzhi, but Bai Yunzhi took her young age into consideration and at most held her hand without any conflict.
Now that he has received a little love from Bai Yunzhi, she becomes even more jealous of Lin Shuwan and wants more!
Bai Yunzhi felt even more guilty, patted her on the back, and promised again: "Yuan Niang, you are a good girl, I will be responsible for you. But now the time has not come, you have to wait for me obediently."
Yuanniang nodded obediently and leaned into his arms.
Bai Yunzhi tried to comfort Yuanniang on the surface, but he was extremely anxious on the inside. After finishing dinner with Yuanniang, he wanted to leave when he heard Yuanniang say, "Cousin, can you go shopping with me tomorrow? I want to buy some jewelry for my sister-in-law and apologize to her!"
Bai Yunzhi thought about it and realized that Lin Shuwan had been cold towards him recently. He would go to the jewelry store tomorrow to see if there were any new and nice styles and buy some to please Lin Shuwan!
In the past, Lin Shuwan loved and cherished the things he bought for him!
Bai Yunzhi replied: "Okay, I'll go with you after I get off duty tomorrow!" And he also wanted to secretly see a doctor to check what was wrong with his body!
"That's great, cousin!" Yuanniang threw herself into Bai Yunzhi's arms, stood on tiptoes, and gave Bai Yunzhi a kiss on the face.
Bai Yunzhi rubbed her head, held down Yuanniang's body as she struggled towards him, and gave a stiff smile.
Yuan Niang said, "Then I will pick you up tomorrow to issue the decree. This way you don't have to go back to the mansion to pick me up. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth!"
Bai Yunzhi: "No need, I'll come back to pick you up!"
After comforting Yuanniang, Bai Yunzhi quickly left Baiyuju.
He didn't dare to go to find Lin Shuwan, for fear that the other party might notice something. After thinking it over, he decided to go to the study to sleep.
The next day.
Yuanniang felt particularly happy after the ban was lifted. She couldn't wait to visit Bai's father and mother to show her filial piety.
So she hurried to the residence of Bai's father and mother, and performed the standard greetings as soon as she entered the door.
Yuanniang raised her head and quickly glanced around the room, but did not see Lin Shuwan.
She couldn't help feeling a little surprised, but she quickly regained her composure, rolled her eyes, and came up with a plan.
Yuanniang smiled slightly, walked to Bai's mother and acted coquettishly, saying softly:
"Aunt and uncle, why haven't I seen my sister come to pay her respects to you? Although our Bai family is just a poor family, this etiquette must not be neglected. My sister is a woman from a noble family, and now she is the mistress of the Bai family. She should visit uncle and aunt every morning and evening."
"Besides, the food is too bad, without any oil or meat. Your uncle and aunt are not in good health, and I don't even know how to give you something good to eat! How unfilial!"
Bai's mother's face turned serious. She knew all this of course. She had been waiting for Lin Shuwan in the yard these past few days, but the other party just ignored her and didn't come!
This gave Bai's mother a very bad impression of Lin Shuwan.
Especially the food these past few days, which was almost the same as before Lin Shuwan got married. It took several days to eat a little meat.
Originally, she let Lin Shuwan marry in so that she could use her dowry to supplement the Bai Mansion. Now, the other party has a lot of money, but is selfishly eating alone in her own yard, and is unwilling to give them any money to spend!
Then why does she want this daughter-in-law?
Bai's mother said coldly to the maid beside her: "Come here, go and call Lin over to me!"
After a while, Lin Shuwan came slowly. She had delicate makeup and a calm expression, and she didn't take Bai's mother's anger seriously at all.
Bai's mother slammed the table and said angrily, "Ms. Lin, as the mistress of the Bai family, you haven't come to pay your respects for a few days, and you've even withheld our food. How can this be considered decent?"
Lin Shuwan chuckled, "Mother-in-law, I am busy with the affairs of the mansion every day, and occasionally neglect to pay my respects. As for food, the money in the mansion is tight, and I also live frugally. If you think it is not good enough, why not use your private money to improve it."
Bai's mother was choked and speechless. Seeing this, Yuanniang stepped forward and said, "Sister, how can you speak to aunt like this? You have a generous dowry, and it is only right that you use it to supplement the family income."
Lin Shuwan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yuanniang coldly, and said:
"Yuan Niang is a cousin who lives in the mansion. I am your cousin's wife. You should call me cousin's wife. You call me sister. Do you want to be my husband's concubine? If my husband and my parents-in-law agree, I don't object. But I don't know how my husband should explain to my father!"
The Bai family couple looked panicked and quickly explained in a gentle voice: "No, no, Yuan Niang just made a slip of the tongue. She should have called you cousin's wife!"
Bai's mother said quickly: "Yuan Niang, you are such a fool, why don't you come over and greet your cousin's wife!"
Lin Shuwan raised his hand to stop him and continued, "Also, my dowry is mine. It's my business how I want to deal with it. But cousin, you are talking nonsense here. Are you coveting my dowry?"
Yuanniang's face changed and she said hurriedly, "Sister, what are you talking about? I'm just thinking about my uncle and aunt."
Lin Shuwan sneered, "Think about them? You just want to sow discord between us, so that I can take out my dowry and let you squander it."
Yuanniang's face turned red. Just as she was about to retort, Bai's father suddenly said, "Enough, stop arguing. Lin, as the mistress of the Bai family, you should put the overall situation first and give some of your dowry to supplement the family income."
Lin Shuwan sneered in his heart, but remained calm on his face, "My father-in-law is right. Although my dowry is large, a lot of it is from my mother's family and cannot be used at will. If my father-in-law and mother-in-law really feel that life is difficult, it is better to cut some unnecessary expenses in the mansion and save some money."
After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Bai looked a little unhappy.
Yuanniang saw that the situation was not right, so she tried to smooth things over, saying, "Aunt and uncle, sister...cousin-law was just angry. We are all family, so we should talk it out nicely."
Bai's father and mother had originally hoped to gain an advantage over Lin Shuwan, but they did not expect to end up empty-handed.
Although they were a little annoyed, they did not dare to quarrel with Lin Shuwan easily at this moment. They looked at each other and could see a trace of helplessness and unwillingness in each other's eyes. In the end, they suppressed their inner emotions and decided not to bother with Lin Shuwan for the time being.
Bai's mother took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
Looking at Yuanniang, she felt even more pity for her. She was indeed the one who grew up by her side, well-behaved and sensible, which formed a sharp contrast with Lin Shuwan's domineering nature. This made Bai's mother even more disgusted and impatient with Lin Shuwan.
After a moment of silence, Bai's mother finally said, "Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go back!"
Lin Shuwan returned to his yard, took a nap, and planned to go out for a walk.
Lin Shuwan called a guard and a maid and went out.
Not long after, Bai Yunzhi came back from work and was invited over by his mother.
Mother Bai was wearing an old dress and had a worried look on her face. When she saw Bai Yunzhi coming over, she put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Yunzhi! Lin is too worrying! You really need to talk to her. I'll ask her to come over today..."
Bai's mother told Bai Yunzhi what Lin Shuwan said today, adding fuel to the fire.
Bai Yunzhi frowned when he heard this. What had happened recently was really too bad. He felt like he had lost control, which made him very upset.
Especially his inexplicable illness. He is the only son in their family and the family line depends entirely on him!
Bai Yunzhi came back to his senses and said, "Mom, I know about this matter. I will tell Lin about it!"
After leaving Bai's mother's yard, Bai Yunzhi just came out and saw Yuanniang standing in the corridor in a light green dress. She had a beautiful figure, misty and watery eyes, and she stood there so gracefully, like a young bud.
Bai Yunzhi was worried and gloomy, and didn't pay much attention to Yuanniang's makeup and appearance. When he saw Yuanniang coming over, he hid his emotions very well, with a gentle smile on his face, and said, "Cousin, why are you here?"
"Cousin, you said you would go shopping with me today! You wouldn't have forgotten, would you?" Yuanniang walked over, hugged Bai Yunzhi's arms with both hands, tilted her head, looked at him with a pout, and had a cute and naive face.
Bai Yunzhi smiled and said, "I'm going to change into some casual clothes. Please wait for me at the gate first!"
"Then I'll go with my cousin!" Seeing that Bai Yunzhi did not push her away, Yuanniang moved closer to him.
Bai Yunzhi smelled the incense on her body and felt the soft and warm touch on his arm. Suddenly, his body trembled slightly. He didn't know why, but his chest suddenly felt sour and he felt nauseous. He pushed Yuanniang away and took a few steps back, "Ugh~ Yuanniang, stay away from me!"
Yuanniang looked at him with shock and hurt, "Cousin, you..." But her heart was full of anger. Her cousin kissed her and touched her yesterday, so why was he so disgusted and even afraid of her approaching now?
Could it be that Lin Shuwan did something to her cousin? She deliberately didn't want her cousin to get close to her!
This vicious bitch!
Yuanniang felt even more disgusted and resentful towards Lin Shuwan.
Bai Yunzhi held onto the wooden pillar and vomited for a long time, spitting out sour water and food residues all over the floor, and the sour and smelly smell spread.
Yuanniang couldn't help but sigh, stepped back in panic, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and asked, "Cousin, are you okay? I, I'll wait for you at the gate!"
Yuanniang left in a panic.
Bai Yun took a deep breath and finally stopped the nausea. His face turned pale and he was helped back to his yard by his servant with weak steps.
Bai Yunzhi drank a sip of hot tea and took a long time to recover.
Bai Yunzhi quickly took off the stained court dress, then opened the closet and looked at the neatly arranged casual clothes. These clothes were all black or white, with the occasional bright dress, but they were also monotonous and boring.
He couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself: "These clothes are so ugly!"
At this moment, the light green dress that Yuanniang was wearing today suddenly emerged in his mind. The fresh color and exquisite tailoring made her look particularly soft and charming, and her makeup was also very beautiful!
A strange feeling surged in Bai Yunzhi's heart, and he couldn't help but imagine what he would look like wearing such a light green dress.
