Chapter 21 Threats
It's just...
To her surprise, there was no strange noise behind her, nor did she hear him make a sound to stop her, and it seemed that even the sound of his breathing had disappeared.
After walking a few steps away, she quietly turned around and looked back, only to find that the place where she had just been was now empty.
When did he leave?
This man is truly elusive and his martial arts skills are unfathomably deep.
The detestable man gave her quite a scare.
However, he should also know that some of those silver coins are tomorrow's expenses.
She understood that he was leaving just like this also because he knew where those silver coins were hidden.
It seems there's been an unexpected turn in her plan.
But I don't know what role he will play tomorrow?
Deep in thought, Meng Fu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The next day, early in the morning, Meng Ruxue informed him that Bai Yichen had made an appointment with Xuan Yuan Ye at Yuehu.
Bai Yichen made an appointment with Xuan Yuan Ye at Moon Lake?
Bai Yichen wasn't worried at all, but Xuan Yuan Ye made her worry, because that man was just too dangerous.
Thinking of his ambiguous attitude last night, Meng Cuiying's eyes twitched involuntarily.
She just found out today that this time's expenses were taken care of by Xuan Yuan Ye, so it wasn't hard for her to guess the purpose of Bai Yichen looking for him.
Is it at Moon Lake? And how did Meng Ruxue find out about the news so early in the morning?
Doesn't seem like his style? Really?
"Green bamboo, let's go, we're going to visit Moon Lake." Since he had made a special arrangement, she naturally wanted to take a look.
"Huh? Oh, yes, Master." Qing Zhu was stunned and looked at her with some inexplicable gaze before responding repeatedly.
The two went to Moon Lake. Meng Fu Ying seemed to be appreciating the scenery in the lake, but her eyes were searching for his figure.
Suddenly, seeing someone on a distant yacht, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips, and then he quickened his pace and walked over.
On the cruise ship, Bai Yichen's face was gloomy, and his eyes were also cold and somber. This morning, when he went to the treasury early in the morning to retrieve silver coins, he found that all of them had vanished into thin air. At that moment, he broke out in a cold sweat, not because he was heartbroken over the loss of those silver coins, but because most of them were supposed to be handed over to the Emperor as tribute today.
At this moment, he was suddenly robbed. How could he explain to the emperor? Even if the White family's industry was large, it would be absolutely impossible for him to come up with such a huge amount of money within one day.
What shocked him even more was that in the White Manor, with so many guards and such strict vigilance, it actually...
Who is that person, after all?
But now, the most important thing...
"Your Highness, yesterday the White Mansion was robbed and all the silver was stolen. I hope you can tolerate this for now and not spread the word. Yichen will gather the silver within five days and send it to the military camp." Bai Yichen spoke in a low voice to Xuan Yuanheng, who sat quietly on the pleasure boat, lost in thought.
To say this request is not excessive, after all, the money was from the White House and it's a fact that it was stolen.
As long as he makes up for it and has someone quickly send it over without delaying the army's use of it, it is not a very serious matter.
As long as this matter does not alarm His Majesty.
So he invited Xuan Yuan Ye early in the morning.
He was originally afraid that he wouldn't be able to invite this gentleman, so he specially asked Xuan Yuanfan to extend the invitation and even had someone notify Meng Ruxue, all in an effort to make the atmosphere more harmonious.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xuan Yuan Ye doesn't allow any woman to get close to him, except for Meng Ruxue. Although he is always cold and icy, in the eyes of others, he is special to Meng Ruxue.
"You mean to deceive the Emperor." Xuan Yuan Ye's eyebrows didn't even twitch, only his lips moved slightly, and in that cold voice, there was no emotion at all.
Bai Yichen was shocked, Seventh Prince was usually cold and aloof, but he wasn't that difficult to talk to, today...
It wasn't a big deal originally, but after he said it like that, it became a huge crime.
This matter is indeed great, yet small...
Xuan Yuan Mo and Xuan Yuan Fan on the side were also slightly startled, Meng Ruxue who rushed over in a hurry was also suddenly shocked.
Some people looked at him strangely, but from his face, no emotions could be seen.
"Yi Chen didn't mean it that way, Yi Chen just wanted..." Bai Yi Chen, no matter how calm he was, couldn't help but feel a little tense at this moment, and explained repeatedly.
However, Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes suddenly gazed forward, and his eyes seemed to have some emotions in an instant, which made him secretly shocked and forgot to speak. Following his gaze, when he saw the figure standing on the shore, he was stunned - how could she appear here?
"Meng Fu'er attended the Seventh Prince, Eighth King, Ninth King, and White Young Master." Meng Fu'er didn't dodge or give way, originally she had come on purpose to find that man, and he too had come on purpose to lead her here, why should she deliberately yield again.
With a respectful bow, he also brought up Bai Yichen. The respectfulness made him look even more estranged. Bai Yichen's originally gloomy face sank again.
"Come on." His sensual lips moved slightly, and in his still cold voice, there seemed to be a few ripples.
On the cruise ship, everyone was stunned, almost simultaneously, and looked at him in disbelief.
No one dared to believe that he would actually take the initiative to let that woman on board.
Xuanyuan Mo's eyes slightly turned towards Meng Fuying, hiding a few points of anger and ruthlessness. The last time at the Crown Prince's mansion, it must have been this woman who was behind the scenes. He couldn't help but want to throw this woman into the water to feed the fish.
However, at this moment, Xuan Yuan Ye is here, and he doesn't dare to be too arrogant. Usually, they are more disciplined in front of Xuan Yuan Ye than in front of the Emperor.
"However, he said in a low voice, 'Seventh brother, at this time, letting her come up might not be suitable.'"
Although she is still considered Bai Yichen's wife who has not yet crossed the threshold, it is said that a few days ago, in front of the emperor, she requested a divorce. If this matter were to be known to her, perhaps...
However, Xuan Yuan Ye seemed to have not heard his words at all, a pair of eyes simply gazing faintly at Meng Cui Ying.
Bai Yichen's eyes flashed slightly, hiding a few unclear hints.
Meng Ruxue's body suddenly stiffened, her eyes gazing at Meng Duiying with a hint of ruthlessness flashing by quickly, and in her heart, she was overflowing with jealousy.
For so many years, she had been so gentle and affectionate towards him, yet he had never looked at her once. But now, he was staring straight at that woman.
He even took the initiative to invite that woman on board, how can he? How can he?
Meng Fu Ying looked at the swaying boat in front of her, somewhat hesitant.
It's not that she didn't want to go up, but she was really afraid of getting seasick.
She throws up every time she takes a boat ride.
And previously would have taken medicine in advance, this time going up, afraid...
Xuan Yuan Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, his sensual lips moving again as he asked, "How much silver did the White Manor lose last night?"
Still a clear and cold voice, but this time it had a few more hints of puzzlement.
Bai Yichen was taken aback for a moment, although unexpected, but he said one after another, "Everything is lost, including all the funds raised."
But in her heart, she was secretly puzzled and didn't understand why Xuan Yuan Ye would ask such a question.
Meng Fu Ying understood that this man's words at this moment were a clear threat to her.
He was indeed a sinister man. With a quiet sigh, Meng Fu Ying stepped lightly onto the swaying boat.
Next...
