Nan Gong Bei Chen walked in with a flask of spirit wine, he could see that Bai Chen Feng was doing his best to control his emotions, but his suppressed anger still leaked out. Nan Gong Bei Chen smiled: “Want to have a drink?”
Bai Chen Feng was feeling so much pain that he did not want to live; he only missed his chance once, why must it be a lifetime?
He grabbed the wine from Nan Gong Bei Chen and poured it down his throat, he choked due to the quick action, causing his tears to flow out…

Ji Mo Clan.
The courtyard house where Madam Ru was locked.
Madam Ru silently kneeled in front of Ji Mo Wu Qing’s memorial tablet, her body has become thin over the past half a year. Her back that was always straight was now bent and her will had mostly been stripped away, revealing several levels of fatigue.
Mo Si was silently standing behind her with his head lowered, treating himself as though he was air.
Only the sound of Madam Ru chanting scriptures could be heard inside the room.
After an hour, Madam Ru pressed her palms together as she finished her chanting, her eyes were closed, it was unknown what she was praying about as she planted a stick of incense into the incense burner before she slowly stood up.
“I heard that the Bai Li Clan and the Shang Qiu Clan are having a marriage union, your master chose to imprison his own mother for the sake of getting into the good books of Huan Qing Yan that woman. He must be feeling unhappy now that he has been discarded!”
Mo Si returned a mild grin: “This is Young Master’s matter, this subordinate did not dare to make any comment, Madam should not speak rashly as well. Or else, when outsiders see that Madam is so happy about Young Master being insulted, people who did not know better might think that everything had been planned by Madam, right?”
His words were pretty blunt.
Madam Ru was enraged and wanted to reply, but for some reason, she seemed to remember something and felt terrified instead, stopping herself from speaking.
She did her best to recover her calmness: “What message did your master want to relay?”
Mo Si made a respectful bow and whispered into Madam Ru’s ears.
Madam Ru’s body froze for a moment, a trace of insult and fear flew through her eyes. She managed to barely maintain her expression, but the white on her face exposed her as she replied with a slightly trembling voice: “I will consider…”
Mo Si smiled, but Madam Ru only felt the smile looked extremely horrifying: “Young Master says that time is short. Madam must consider properly, or else…”
Before he could finish speaking, Madam Ru had already shrunk herself into a corner, gritting her teeth and said with hatred: “That unfilial son, he already…” as she spoke to this point, she felt a murderous intent coming from Mo Si’s smile, forcing her to stop speaking.
After some time, she unwilling replied: “Tell your master that I agree.”
After she spoke, it felt as though all her willpower was taken away as she slumped onto the chair, looking as though she has aged a decade in an instant.
Mo Si nodded and returned a bow before turning to leave immediately.
Behind him, Madam Ru fixed her gaze on Mo Si’s departing back, and release a soundless laugh as tears blurred her sight…
No one knows if it was because of regret or hatred.

Bai Li Clan.
The entire area was decorated colorfully.
Huan Qing Yan was currently in her own courtyard house that was located just next to Crazy Sage’s place.
This courtyard house was called Moodless Court.
Elder Snow was also living at her place, he was observing the rowdiness outside. Every member of the Bai Li Clan was wearing smiles and the entire estate was immersed in a joyous atmosphere.
Yet the building where the main character of the marriage agreement stays in does not have a single piece of decoration.
