Long Heng really liked her dependence on him and happily carried her back to the room.
Tonight, he was especially excited, almost to the point where Bai Xiangxiu almost couldn't bear it.
However, she didn't know why she liked it and let him do as he pleased.
She talked to herself in her heart, he was her husband, so whatever he did to her was what he should do.
Long Heng had never seen such a cooperative Bai Xiangxiu. In the past, every time he moved a few times, she would cry out in pain, and she would cry out until the end.
But this time, her pandering made him feel unusually excited, and he impulsively took her a few times.
At the beginning, she was indeed enduring, but later on, she seemed to be very happy.
As a man who'd just had his fill, Long Heng felt exceptionally blissful. He was a little like a young boy who'd just found out what it was like to be in love. He wanted to put everything in Bai Xiangxiu's hands, and wanted nothing more than to hand over all of his money to her.
Thus, Bai Xiangxiu felt that she had really hit the jackpot.
Tens of thousands of taels of silver were sent to her, and if Long Heng had any big use for it, he would ask her for it.
This wasn't any different from the feelings of modern women. She was very satisfied with such an honest and hardworking husband, and even had the idea of staying and chasing away the female lead.
Even she was scared by this idea. Sure enough, when a woman had a lover, she would become abnormally greedy?
Who cares!
Since it had already reached this point, she wouldn't be a woman if she gave in, let alone a transmigrator.
Xiao Shi was currently helping her master get up, and she clearly felt that her master's eyes were unusually sharp today.
She was a lot more positive about yesterday's matter, because the rumors outside said that she was a favored concubine, and a very powerful one at that.
Alright, let them talk, she didn't care about these things anymore.
But what she didn't expect was that just as she felt that she was about to become the female lead, something happened.
The servants were all saying that Long Heng actually sent Miss Lin back to Minister Lin's residence.
This wasn't strange, but what was strange was that he actually went to Lin's residence to propose marriage, and even personally prepared the betrothal gift, which was wrong.
Why did he have to propose marriage to that woman in the blink of an eye when he was still so happy?
Bai Xiangxiu could not understand. She was angry, sad, and desperate. Almost all the emotions appeared in her mind in an instant.
She didn't know what to do after hearing the news. She just stood in the courtyard and let the cold wind blow on her face. She didn't even realize that her cloak had slipped off.
Sigh, it's really hard to fall in love.
She was just about to have a big duel with the female lead to win over the male lead, but in the end, he was already going to send betrothal gifts.
First Madam and Second Madam had heard the news and came to make trouble for her. They didn't expect that they would really suffer a blow.
They were all stunned. Now that their objective was achieved, they left with smiles on their faces.
However, when they turned around, they saw Li Of Gojoseon standing behind them coldly.
He didn't want to explain this to Bai Xiangxiu because he felt that she should understand him.
Because how could she not understand how he treated her?
"This King hates talkative women the most. Go and receive your punishment. If you do it again, pack up and get out of the mansion!"
First Madam and Second Madam were so scared that they trembled and walked away. Long Heng's eyes were really frightening.
They left with their tails between their legs, but Long Heng looked at Bai Xiangxiu again. She actually left without looking back.
He frowned. Didn't she know that he didn't really want to marry that woman?
He didn't want to explain. He only wanted to take revenge on those who had hurt Bai Xiangxiu.
Anyway, she was one of his people. It didn't matter if he explained it when he had time.
Who knew that when Song Jiaoyue of the Song family heard the news, she was so angry that she flipped the table in front of her.
She really didn't understand what Long Heng was thinking. He was clearly ruining the woman who was sincere to him.
She made the mansion's reputation so good, but in the end, she was heartlessly abandoned.
Fine, fine, fine. He was heartless, but she couldn't bear to see her abandoned in that cold mansion.
"Yu Se, Yu Se, come in."
"Yes …"
Yu Se answered and ran in. When she saw the flipped table and the angry Song Jiaoyue, she knew that this matter was likely related to Madame Xiu.
She had heard Song Jiaoyue say before that although Bai Xiangxiu was known as Long Heng's favored concubine, she was beautiful and charming.
Her appearance was peerless and bewitching.
But in reality, she was still pure. Long Heng was just putting on an act for outsiders to see, or using her as a shield.
At that time, she had felt very sorry for Bai Xiangxiu. Such a woman was actually being ruined like this. Although her master liked her, he didn't even dare to say anything.
"Help me prepare some snacks. Wrap the stuffing made with heart and send it to her."
He wasn't going to wait. If he waited any longer, he felt that he would go crazy.
Ever since he had attended the Empress Dowager's funeral and tasted the vegetarian food she made, he had been thinking about it until now. But even now, he rarely ate. He felt that whatever he ate didn't have that kind of taste.
"But, what reason should I use?"
"Just use your name to do it!"
"Okay."
As expected, Yu Se had someone make the snacks. Actually, she also felt that it was strange. Why did he need to put heart stuffing in the snacks?
But in order to do something good for her master, she naturally followed his orders and made the snacks. Then, she had someone send them to Bai Xiangxiu.
Bai Xiangxiu was feeling gloomy. Was this the way things were supposed to be?
She remembered that in the plot, they had gotten married after the New Year, and then she was beaten to death.
She didn't know why, but she was only a little angry. She didn't suspect Long Heng's feelings.
When she thought about it, her little wings were quite strong. She had forcefully separated the two of them from their path of love.
But there was no guarantee that they wouldn't be together.
Just as she was thinking, she heard that the Song estate had sent something over.
"Mm, bring it in!"
Bai Xiangxiu's thoughts were in a mess. She wanted to cry, but she felt that there was nothing to cry about.
Not long after, the Song family's snacks were brought in by Xiao Shi. She explained that the snacks were made by Yu Se and asked for her advice.
Actually, Bai Xiangxiu wasn't in the mood to give advice to others, but she still picked up a piece and slowly ate it. She was completely unaware that all the maids and nannies in Apricot Garden were very worried about her, afraid that she would do something stupid.
Fortunately, the Song family sent someone over at this time, which distracted her.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiangxiu, who was eating half of the snack, was stunned and didn't say a word for a long time.
Her expression kept changing, and she seemed to be even more shocked than when she first learned that Prince was going to send the betrothal gifts.
How could Bai Xiangxiu not be shocked? She was so scared that she almost peed her pants, okay?
This snack with stuffing, and it was made with heart stuffing. This clearly meant that it was intentional!
Moreover, it was sent by Yu Se, and Yu Se was Song Jiaoyue's most intimate person.
The snacks she sent were clearly Song Jiaoyue's wishes. So, was he expressing that he had the heart to be with her?
This was too scary, okay? Obviously, she had given up for a long time. She even gave her body and heart to the male lead, but he suddenly did this. Wasn't this scary?!
