Chapter 425

Just as Bu Yonghan was about to destroy the traces of the burned painting, Nurse Wu’s slightly panicked voice sounded from the entrance of the tent, “Your Highness, why are you back at this time?”

Baili Jinchuan ignored Nurse Wu and directly opened the tent door and walked in. When he saw the flames that were still burning on the ground, the coldness around his body suddenly erupted. His chilly eyes stared at Bu Yonghan, almost freezing her. “What did you do?”

Bu Yonghan panicked a little and then suddenly calmed down. Baili Jinchuan’s feelings for Shen Ninghua were a taboo and could not be talked about. Since that was the case, what was Bu Yonghan afraid of? Would Baili Jinchuan dare to make a fuss about it?

“Your Highness, what you see is what it is. Some things that are an eyesore should be burned. When there is a lot of trash, it is necessary to clean up often so that we can live a better life. What do you think, Your Highness?”

Baili Jinchuan strode forward and looked at the ashes on the ground with dark eyes. “You… D*mn it!” The last time he came back, he found that this painting seemed to have been touched by someone. However, he did not find any evidence and had someone keep an eye on it. Today, his subordinate told him that Bu Yonghan had returned to the tent, so he immediately rushed back. He did not expect that he would come back late. She had actually burned the thing he treasured so much!

Bu Yonghan sneered. “Your Highness, it is just a painting. Yes, I burned it. So what? Are you going to punish me for a painting?”

Baili Jinchuan suddenly turned his head, and his cold gaze was like a sharp blade. “There are some things that you should not know. There are some things that you should not touch!”

The corners of Bu Yonghan’s lips curled up coldly. “Then tell me clearly what I should not know and what I should not touch. If I agree, then it will be a happy ending. If I do not agree, then I will get Mother Consort to judge!”

“Are you using Mother Consort to threaten me?”

“Yes, I am using Mother Consort to threaten you! Baili Jinchuan, I am the Great Yue Kingdom’s princess. I am your legal wife. What do you think I am? Someone you can insult as you please? Don’t forget what Father Emperor and Mother Consort told you back then!”

The disgust in Baili Jinchuan’s eyes almost overflowed. “You are my Princess Consort, but that’s just it. You just have to manage the backyard and take care of yourself well. Women are not to be involved in politics in the Great Yue Kingdom. Do you want to rebel now that you are here in Da’an Kingdom? Since you know that you are married to me, then you should follow the rules of Second Prince Mansion. Don’t think that you can be lawless just because you are the Great Yue Kingdom’s princess!”

Bu Yonghan had never been so angry before. Some time ago, she had vowed that she could learn from Mother Empress and control Baili Jinchuan. However, after just a few days, reality gave her a hard slap. From Baili Jinchuan’s eyes, she felt that he was looking at her like a decoration, an object. It was as if she should be trapped in the small backyard, waiting for him to dote on her when he felt like it. She could not have her own emotions, and she could not interfere with his matters at all!

“What about Shen Ninghua? If you marry Shen Ninghua, will you tell her the same thing?”

Baili Jinchuan suddenly turned his head. “You are not allowed to mention her name!”

“Not allowed? Haha, I can’t even mention her name? Baili Jinchuan, have you forgotten that Shen Ninghua is your Fifth Sister-in-law? She married your younger brother and even gave birth to twins for him, and now, she is pregnant with a third child. Do you still have any wishful thinking about her?”

“Shut up!”

“What, did I hurt you?” Bu Yonghan said with a twisted smile. “Baili Jinchuan, do you know that if I spread this news, your life will be ruined?”

There was no panic on Baili Jinchuan’s face. Instead, it was filled with boundless ridicule. “You won’t!”

“How do you know I won’t?”

“Because you can’t bear to!” Baili Jinchuan’s eyes were filled with a penetrating light, and his tone was as cold as ice. “You did all you could to marry me, and you expect me to bring home glory and wealth for you. How can you bear to spread this matter out and be ruined together with me?”

Bu Yonghan was hit severely by having the most secretive thought in her heart, and her face couldn’t help but turn green. “You…”

Baili Jinchuan sneered. “I am right. So, not only will you not tell others that I like Shen Ninghua, but you will also try your best to hide it because you can’t let anything ruin the future you have planned. Am I right?”

Bu Yonghan was so angry that she could not speak. Her nails dug into her palms, but she did not feel the slightest pain.

The ridicule on Baili Jinchuan’s face became more and more obvious. “Since you know that there are some things you can’t say to others, then stay here obediently. I warn you, don’t think about telling Mother Consort, and don’t think about finding trouble with Shen Ninghua. Otherwise, I will divorce you!”

“Divorce me? Who do you think you are?”

“You don’t believe me? Then give it a try!”

After saying that, Baili Jinchuan strode out of the tent, and Bu Yonghan gasped for breath heavily. She suddenly pulled out the whip at her waist and whipped everything around her.

Nurse Wu walked in, and her expression was particularly bad. “Your Highness, you must not do this!” This was not Second Prince Mansion. In Second Prince Mansion, they could just repair the things that had been destroyed, but this was the tent where the hunting ground was stationed. The things that were brought out from the palace were not very sufficient in the first place, and they had to use sparingly because there were also the Emperor and Noble Consort. If many things were damaged and the news spread out, Her Highness’ reputation would probably be ruined.”

Bu Yonghan understood, but if she didn’t release the anger in her heart, she would probably be dead from the pent-up anger. “Nurse Wu, I want to kill Shen Ninghua. I want her dead! When that sl*t dies, I want to see what Baili Jinchuan will do. Isn’t he deep in love? Then die with her!”

“Your Highness, you can’t say that.” Nurse Wu had a headache. Where had the intelligent version of Her Highness gone to? The current Her Highness was like a vile jealous woman! Back then, Her Majesty had guided His Highness who was still a prince. She had put in a lot of effort, suffered many grievances, and even her own body was damaged. Even her children had to be sacrificed. But Her Highness had only seen Her Majesty’s current glory, and Her Highness had never known the thorns behind Her Majesty’s glory. Such a temper was really that of a spoiled child.

Bu Yonghan glared at Nurse Wu with dissatisfaction. “Why? You don’t intend to help me? Don’t forget that it was Mother Empress who asked you to assist me. If you don’t help me, I will directly write a letter to Mother Empress and tell her to directly send you back. A servant who doesn’t obey the master’s orders has no use!”

“Your Highness, please calm down. I will definitely help!”

“Alright, this is what you said. If you can’t do what you said, I will send you back! Nurse Wu, you should understand that if a servant is sent back, he or she will not have a good ending. However, don’t worry. As long as you help me achieve what I want, I will definitely not treat you unfairly.”

“Yes, I understand.” Nurse Wu respectfully retreated, her expression becoming gloomier and gloomier.

Shen Ninghua strolled outside for a while. Baili Junyi accompanied her to have lunch on the grass. When the sun got hotter, they returned to the tent. The two of them took a nap together for a while. When they woke up, the sun had already turned golden. It shone warmly on the tent, making people feel better.

Hong Ling and Rouqin entered the door and helped Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi wash up. After that, they served some snacks.

“Miss, in the afternoon, Nurse Wu brought people to find Chief Steward Xiao Qi. She said that some things in Second Prince’s tent were damaged, and she offered some silver to get them replaced.”

Hearing Hong Ling’s words, Baili Junyi smiled and said, “Oh? That’s strange. Didn’t I hear that they just got replacements yesterday? Today, they got new replacements again. This is strange.”

“I also found out that Second Prince His Highness came out of the tent angrily today. His Highness must have had an argument with Princess Yonghan. As for the specific details, I can’t find out.”

Shen Ninghua nodded. “Be careful in these two days. Don’t let others take advantage of the loophole.”

“Yes, Miss.”

The next day, Baili Junyi was called over by Baili Qingcang to discuss the matter of the canal. Shen Ninghua then went to the viewing platform and sat down. Just as she sat down, Bu Yonghan accompanied Noble Consort Qi over. When she saw Shen Ninghua, her eyes almost burst out with fire. If not for Nurse Wu who tugged at the corner of her clothes to make her come back to her senses, she might have directly taken out her whip and swung it over.

Such strong hostility was immediately felt by Shen Ninghua. She couldn’t help but be surprised. Although Bu Yonghan had been hostile to her before, it was especially light. Why did it seem like there was a deep hatred today? It seemed that something must have happened in the past two days.

Hong Ling quietly stood beside Shen Ninghua, paying attention to Bu Yonghan’s movements at all times so that if Bu Yonghan made any movement, Hong Ling could stand out and protect Shen Ninghua at the first moment.

As usual, Noble Consort Qi watched from the viewing platform for a while. When she found that there was nothing interesting, she returned to her tent to rest. When she left, Bu Yonghan, who had been holding it in for a long time, finally could not restrain herself. “Fifth Sister-in-law, I heard that you and Fifth Brother have a very good relationship.”

Shen Ninghua turned to look at her. “Second Imperial Sister-in-law, what is the matter?”

“I just care about you. Sigh, what is love supposed to be? Why do so many people desperately want it? Some people really would sacrifice anything for love.”

Shen Ninghua smiled indifferently and ignored Bu Yonghan.

Seeing Shen Ninghua’s calm and collected appearance, Bu Yonghan only felt suffocated and uncomfortable in her chest. “In this world, what couple doesn’t want their own life to be sweet and loving? Unfortunately, there are always so many people who can’t see the good in others. They think that the grass is greener on the other side. They’d better hope it’s not a wild goose chase in the end.”

Hearing this, Shen Ninghua finally felt that something was wrong. Bu Yonghan’s hostility towards her… Could it be that she learned something from Baili Jinchuan?

Seeing that Shen Ninghua was still silent, Bu Yonghan got up and walked to Shen Ninghua’s side. Bu Yonghan couldn’t help but carefully look at Shen Ninghua’s face. “Fifth Sister-in-law, you have such an ethereal face. I wonder how many people dream about it. I hope Fifth Brother keeps an eye on you.”

Was Bu Yonghan mocking her for being a dissolute woman?

Shen Ninghua frowned and looked at Nurse Wu, who wanted to say something but hesitated. Then, she said, “Second Imperial Sister-in-law, there are some things that should be thought through before you say them so that others won’t misunderstand.”

Bu Yonghan gritted her teeth and turned to leave.
