Ai Xi thought about it for a long time before she remembered that in her original text there seemed to be a passerby named Jia Renlu who had appeared once or twice. This cousin was lustful and incompetent. He took a fancy to Bai Xunmei's beauty and family background, and wanted to marry Bai Xunmei. Marry Mei back. Because as long as he marries Bai Xunmei, he will enjoy endless glory and wealth in his life.

After figuring out who this person was, Ai Xi was a little too lazy to pay attention to him. She didn't speak or even look at Jia Renlu. But Jia Renlu didn't seem to feel it at all. He smiled obsequiously and moved closer to Essie, "Cousin, can I treat you to a cake? I know a newly opened Western cake shop, which is delicious."

Elsie didn't want to go eat cake with him at all. She refused and said, "No, I'm tired and want to go home."

"No, let's eat and rest at the same time." After saying that, he grabbed Essie's arm and tried to pull her away.

Xiaoxing grabbed his hand anxiously, "What are you doing? Let go of my lady."

Jia Renlu smiled and said, "You little girl's hands are pretty white and tender..."

Ai Qian's body was so weak now that it was almost impossible to break away from Jia Renlu. She glared at Jia Renlu and her right foot was about to move, so she decided to find a suitable angle and kick him until his balls would crack and he would die.

Lu Ange came out of the Tibetan Flower Troupe, Luan Hong's words were still playing in his ears. Luan Hong hopes that he will temporarily put aside his hatred for Bai Yuan. She says that the current revolutionary cause needs the support of warlords like Bai Yuan. Luan Hong gave him great support in the darkest days of his life, and Lu Ange couldn't pretend that she didn't hear her words.

But he thought, what should his parents do?

Did a pair of kind-hearted old people who lived in peace with the world die in vain like this?

At this moment, he heard a woman's scream in front of him. He looked up and saw the twelfth concubine of Bai Mansion being pulled by a wretched man. If there was anyone in the entire Bai Mansion that Lu Ange didn't hate or even liked a little, then it was the woman who cooked for him late at night.

He was already in a bad mood, and now he was even more furious when he saw this scene. He shouted: "Let him go!"

Ai Xi raised her foot and was about to kick it, when she was startled by the sudden roar and trembled all over. Everyone turned to look over. Lu Ange rushed up and pushed Jia Renlu away. He protected Ai Qian behind him and waited for Jia Renlu to ask: "What do you do?"

Jia Renlu pointed at Lu Ange and said, "Who are you? Do you dare to interfere with my affairs?"

Lu Ange said: "I'm in charge of her affairs. If you don't want to get beaten, get out of here!"

Jia Renlu looked at Lu Ange. He found that this boy was wearing shabby clothes but he was quite handsome. No wonder his cousin was hiding behind him so obediently. He said to Aisie: "Cousin, have you fallen in love with this pretty boy?"

Ai Qian popped up her head behind Lu Ange and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"You must have fallen in love with this pretty boy." Jia Renlu's dark face turned red with anger: "Otherwise, why wouldn't you go eat cake with me?"

"I'm tired." Elsie felt that her identity might be exposed if she continued like this, so she said, "Go away and stop bothering me, or I'll tell your uncle."

His uncle is his mother's sister's husband, Bai Xunmei's father Bai Yuan. Jia Renlu was indeed a little scared, but he couldn't give in in front of this pretty boy. He said, "Do you think I'm afraid? Be careful I tell Commander Bai about you and this pretty boy."

Lu Ange frowned. He was not afraid of Bai Yuan, he was just afraid that he would implicate Ai Xi. He said with a cold face: "I want to meddle in other people's business, why do you need to wrongly accuse her?"

Jia Renlu smiled proudly and said, "Are you scared? If you know what's going on, stay away from my cousin."

Lu Ange didn't know why she had such a cousin, but he thought that if her family hadn't been unreliable, she wouldn't have been snatched into the house by Bai Yuan. He couldn't even take revenge because of Luan Hong, so he thought it would be better to fight this disgusting person. Even if he died, he would still help this woman with whom he had some fate.

He clenched his fist and punched Jia Renlu in the face. Jia Renlu screamed strangely and fell to the ground. The scoundrels following him saw that the young master had been beaten, and rushed up to surround Lu Ange with a slap.

Ai Qian didn't expect Lu Ange to take action as soon as he said so. Jia Renlu leaned to the ground and covered his face, shouting: "Hit! Beat this grandson to death!"

Lu Ange used to be a gentle scholar. Although he suffered a lot in the six months since his parents passed away, his skills could not be gained by practicing Qi in a short time. It was okay at first, but after a while he just needed to be beaten. Ai Xi was so anxious that she said to Jia Renlu, "Let them stop now."

"I don't." Jia Renlu said very firmly: "This turtle grandson dares to hit me, I have to kill him."

Ai Qian was afraid that Lu Ange would find out her identity in the future and blame all these debts on her. She thought for a moment, then closed her eyes and rushed in to block Lu Ange.

Jia Renlu exclaimed: "Cousin!"

Ai Xi received a punch on the shoulder and took a step back. Lu Ange supported her. When those people saw that they had beaten Commander Bai's daughter, they were all too frightened to move. Ai Xi covered her shoulders and said to Jia Renlu: "If you dare to hit me, just wait."

Jia Renlu was almost scared to death, okay? Of course he knew that his powerful uncle was the most precious cousin. He beat his daughter, and if he found out, he would have to skin her even if she died. He shrank for a moment, then told his people to run away quickly.

Lu Ange supported Ai Xi and said worriedly: "Are you okay?"

To be honest, that punch was really painful. Ai Xi's painful forehead was sweating. She glared at Xiao Xing to prevent her from coming over. Then he took two steps away from Lu Ange and said, "I'm fine, you... I'm going back."

Then she hurried away with Xiaoxing.

Xiaoxing supported Ai Xi and said worriedly: "Miss, how can you be beaten for him? The master will be angry if he finds out."

Ai Xi grinned in pain and said, "So you are not allowed to tell my dad about this."

Xiaoxing has been following Bai Xunmei for several years, and she has never seen Bai Xunmei be so interested in anyone. She remembered the story she had heard before about a lady from a wealthy family and a poor scholar. The young lady from a wealthy family fell in love with the handsome scholar, and the two secretly made a lifelong commitment...

Xiaoxing felt like she knew some terrible secret, and her ears turned red with excitement.

Essie asked strangely: "Why are your hands shaking?"

Xiaoxing's eyes turned red and she said, "Miss, I will definitely support you."

"Ah?" Essie was confused, "Why do you support me?"

Xiaoxing said sheepishly: "Miss, you understand."

Essie: "..." What is this mess?

Ai Xi returned to the White Mansion, took off her clothes in the room and took a look, and her shoulders were indeed black and blue. Xiaoxing was so distressed that she shed tears, "Miss, I'm going to the doctor to get medicine for bruises."

Ai Xi said: "Go ahead, don't say I want to use it."

"Yeah." Xiaoxing agreed, and then left.

Lu Ange also returned to the Bai Mansion. He had just seen that Ai Qian was in severe pain and knew that there would be bruises on her body. She is Bai Yuan's aunt, and she will not be injured for no reason. If she went to the doctor to get medicine, Bai Yuan might know something. The more Lu Ange thought about it, the more worried he became. He fidgeted for a while and asked the doctor in Baifu for some medicine for bruises. No one would suspect that he was injured anyway.

He took the medicine and quietly walked to the backyard before he remembered that he had no idea where she lived.

He slipped into the backyard and after searching for a while found a cobblestone path. The entire Bai Mansion is paved with bluestones. Why is there a gravel road here?

That was actually because Bai Xunmei had been in poor health since she was a child. Some Chinese medicine doctors said that walking on the cobblestone road can stimulate the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet, which is good for the body, so Bai Yuan paved such a road specifically for Bai Xunmei.

Lu Ange walked along the gravel road to the end and found a beautifully decorated courtyard. Lu Ange was not sure if this was where Ai Xi lived, so after thinking about it, he knocked on the door.

Ai Xi was waiting for Xiaoxing in the house when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. She opened the door and saw that the courtyard door was open, but there was no one at the door. She walked to the door of the yard and looked out. Lu Ange, who was hiding behind the door, saw that it was her who came out, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Did I hear wrongly?" Ai Xi didn't see anyone, so she turned around in confusion and prepared to enter the house.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a person standing silently behind her. She jumped back in fright, "Ah!"

"Shh, it's me." Lu Ange said.

I know it's you, so I'm more scared, okay? Ai Xi resisted the urge to run away and said, "Why are you here?"

Lu Ange took out a box, lowered his head slightly and said, "I'll give you medicine."

Ai Xi blinked her eyes and didn't know what to say. She reached out and took the medicine and said, "Oh."

The two of them were silent for a while. Lu Ange noticed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, but his hungry feet were rooted to the spot. If he didn't leave, Ai Xi could only stand here, the two of them speechless. Seeing Ai Xi's slightly messy bangs revealing her smooth and fair forehead, Lu Ange reached out his hand in a strange way.

Ai Xi just looked up and saw Lu Ange's head.

Essie: "You..."

Lu Ange: "I..."

"I see your hair is messed up."

"Oh." Aisie blinked and said, "I'm going in."

"I'm leaving too." Lu Ange looked away and smiled, "You must remember to apply the medicine."

"Um."

Lu Ange came and went in a hurry. For some reason, the way Ai Xi looked at him with wide eyes kept replaying in her mind. He shook his head, knowing something was wrong with him. She already has a husband. Although she is a forced concubine, she should not have any unwanted thoughts towards her.

After Jia Renlu went back, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Later, he thought that Commander Bai was his biological uncle, and even if he was angry, he would at most give himself a beating. Besides, if you expose the pretty boy to your uncle, it will be too late for your uncle to thank you. How can you think of yourself?

The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was the case. Jia Renlu made the decision immediately and went to Bai Mansion to complain to his uncle.
