The Ghost King’s Wife is Sassy and Beautiful - Chapter 275

275 Were You Worried About Me?

The Yuan Mansion was heavily guarded, to begin with. No matter how powerful the assassins were, they would be killed.

Now, with Xuanyuan Yu and the thousands of iron-blooded secret guards, not to mention assassins, even a sparrow might not be able to fly in.

It was harder than ascending to the heavens to enter the Yuan Mansion to assassinate Mo Beiyuan.

Mo Donglin had dreamed of Mo Beiyuan snatching his throne these few days; he and his bloodline had both died tragically in Mo Beiyuan’s hands in those dreams.

!!
The birth of the nightmare made Mo Donglin unable to eat or sleep in peace. He regretted not killing Mo Beiyuan like how he killed his other brothers when he was young.

Back then, he thought that Mo Beiyuan was born with different pupils and was known as an evil jinx. He assumed Mo Beiyuan could not achieve much at such a young age.

Moreover, that jinx’s fate might not even leave behind a bloodline. It was impossible for Mo Beiyuan to pose any threat to his throne.

Who knew that Mo Beiyuan would become stronger and stronger over the years and even establish his own powerful faction—the 12 Divisions of the Yuan Manor?

What really made Mo Donglin panic was that Mo Beiyuan’s fate as a jinx had been broken and he had his own bloodline.

This way, after Mo Beiyuan seized the throne, he would also have an heir to inherit his throne.

“Is there no one in these five countries who can help me solve my problems? Is there no one who can deal with Mo Beiyuan?”

Just as the emperor was worried about this matter, the chief eunuch, Chang Gui, offered a plan. “Your Majesty, why don’t you send someone to find that god from 20 years ago? Back then, that god could help you resolve the problem of the Bai family. Today, he can also help you resolve the current problem.”

Mo Donglin’s expression froze. “Now, we can only ask that master to come out of seclusion. Go and choose a group of clean and beautiful little palace maids. Take my letter and help me ask that master to come out of seclusion.”

“Yes, I’ll do it now.”

Only Chang Gui, an old servant who had served the emperor for many years, knew the emperor’s secret from 20 years ago.

When Yun Ran returned from the palace, the first thing she did was to go to Bai Wan’s courtyard and tell her briefly what had happened so that she wouldn’t worry.

“The matter with the Prime Minister’s Estate has been settled. Don’t worry anymore.”

“Are you all right?”

Bai Wan looked at her and then at Xuanyuan Yu, who was behind Yun Ran. Was he fine too?

When Xuanyuan Yu saw her looking at him, he smiled at her.

That smile was not fake at all. It was hearty and pure.

“Wanwan, were you worried about me?”

Bai Wan quickly averted her gaze. She was no longer the young lady who had first fallen in love 20 years ago.

Over the years, she had experienced too much. Her body and mind were already riddled with holes. Her expression was so numb that she forgot how to smile.

Therefore, Bai Wan chose to avoid Xuanyuan Yu’s bright and clean smile.

Xuanyuan Yu was not a fool. He was no longer the young boy from before.

He could feel that Bai Wan had been avoiding his feelings for her since the beginning.

What she wrote most on the paper was that her business had nothing to do with him.

However, they had completed their marriage rites. She was the woman he, Xuanyuan Yu, had set his heart on. He had searched for her for more than 20 years before he found her. How could he let her go?

“Wanwan, what do you want? I can give you anything, but you have to stay by my side. You’re not allowed to have any thoughts of leaving me for the rest of your life!”

Yun Ran retreated silently in order not to disturb their conversation.
