Chapter 55
The moon tonight was crescent, like a woman's slender eyebrows, bringing a ray of light to the pitch-black night.
Occasionally there was a passing shadow on the big street, all hurrying on their way.
Li Wenxuan and his three companions had fooled around at the Four Beauties Pavilion for a while, then went to seek pleasure at a brothel, and only now, supporting each other, did the few men come out from Tianxiang Building.
The few men had all drunk wine, and staggered as they walked.
Their mouths were still joking and laughing about which girl at Tianxiang Building had the best service.
As they walked into an alley, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of them.
She wore black clothes, her back to them, her figure graceful and curvy, her long hair fluttering in the wind.
"Wow, there's actually a beauty here..."
Laughing, the few men walked over.
The figure slowly turned her head, her face covered with a black veil.
"Beauty, what are you doing out on the streets so late? Why don't you come home with me? Hahahaha!"
The woman raised her hand, and an iron wire shot out from the ring on her forefinger, hitting the man in the face and leaving a bloody gash.
"Ah!" The man yelled in pain, "You bitch!"
The few men rushed forward, though they all knew some boxing and kicks, they were no match for her.
After a short while, the four men were beaten down on the ground, crying out in pain, the alcohol completely sobering out from them.
"Heroine, spare our lives! Heroine, spare us!" The few men quickly pleaded.
"Except for Li Wenxuan, those who don't want to die, get lost right now!"
Hearing this, the other three crawled and scrambled to run away! "Hey! You guys..." Li Wenxuan wanted to run too, but the woman blocked his way.
"Heroine, heroine, we have no grievances, please let me go!" Li Wenxuan knew to submit when he should, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.
He didn't bring guards with him today because he was out with these people and thought nothing would happen. Now this! He didn't expect these people to just turn tails and run!
From now on, Li Wenxuan would never work with these people's families again!
"Li Wenxuan, you may have no grievances with her, but you do have grievances with me!" A female voice came from the other side.
Li Wenxuan looked up to see, unexpectedly it was Bai Yunxin!
"Bai Yunxin?"
"What? You look so surprised to see me?" Bai Yunxin walked over and bent down to look at him, her face expressionless.
"You...you...what do you want? You evil woman!"
"Humph!" Bai Yunxin gave a cold laugh, her eyes somewhat red, "Li Wenxuan, I trusted you so much, but after taking my innocence, you don't want to take responsibility?"
"When have I not taken responsibility? Didn't I say I would take you as a concubine? It was you who didn't agree!" Li Wenxuan retorted.
"A concubine? Hahahaha." Bai Yunxin suddenly burst out laughing, laughing until tears came out.
The laughter made Li Wenxuan feel uneasy. Bai Yunxin had always been very well-behaved in front of him before, he never imagined she had this side to her.
"You...you are a girl of low status, and yet you still want to be the main wife?! I was willing to take you as a concubine before because I saw you were well-behaved. Look at you now, who would want you?"
Slap! A slap landed on Li Wenxuan's face.
Li Wenxuan was stunned by Bai Yunxin's slap. He wanted to hit back but the woman in black immediately glared at him warningly and he didn't dare to move.
"Li Wenxuan!" Bai Yunxin grabbed his collar with one hand, "I told you before, whoever took my innocence must formally marry me as the main wife! You agreed back then!"
Bai Yunxin's tone suddenly softened a lot.
She stroked his face, her tone suddenly becoming indignant again, "But this is all because you forced me to!!"
She used to be too naive, thinking Li Wenxuan truly loved her. Only now did she realize those were just empty words and false promises!
From her clothes Bai Yunxin took out a dagger. Li Wenxuan was shocked and wanted to back away, but the woman in black pressed him to the ground.
"What...what do you want to do? Bai Yunxin, I warn you, don't be impulsive!"
Bai Yunxin looked at him, a hint of hatred in her eyes, "Li Wenxuan, I told you, whoever took my innocence must formally marry me as the main wife! You agreed back then!"
Bai Yunxin's tone changed again, "Otherwise... I'll make him lose his manhood!" With a wave of her hand, Bai Yunxin stabbed the dagger towards Li Wenxuan's privates.
"Ah!" Along with Li Wenxuan's miserable scream, he covered his privates and rolled on the ground in agony.
Bai Yunxin's eyes were fierce. She threw away the dagger and stood up, saying coldly: "If you don't formally marry me, the child in my belly, I will get rid of it. Then your Li family line really will be cut off!"
Having said that, Bai Yunxin left the alley with the woman in black, leaving only Li Wenxuan yelling in pain on the ground.
...
"Third Aunt, thank you." Bai Yunxin thanked the woman expressionlessly.
"Hehe." The woman gave a light laugh, "I've been in the Bai family for two years, I didn't expect you to be such a fierce character."
"If he didn't wrong me, I wouldn't have treated him this way either. He brought this on himself!"
She used to be too naive, actually believing Li Wenxuan truly loved her. Only now did she realize he only used empty words and false promises!
"You've achieved your goal, don't forget our deal! Otherwise, I can easily kill you." The woman said.
Bai Yunxin hesitated, "Don't worry, although I don't live in the Bai house anymore, I still have a chance to poison Bai Yunhan."
"He's your brother. Can you really make a move on him?"
"Humph! A brother? He still drove my mother and I out of the Bai house together with Lady Bai! He put on an act with Lady Bai, playing good cop bad cop. My mother and I never had good days there!"
Previously because of Bai Yunxin's matter Bai Yunhan had an argument with Lady Bai, so Bai Yunhan temporarily sent Second Aunt and Bai Yunxin to stay at Wenge Pavilion.
The woman laughed, "Looks like I was right to partner up with you. As long as I get what I want, the Bai house will fall into your mother's hands."
"You said before the treasure map you got was fake, but I don't know what the real one looks like!"
Speaking of this, the woman was furious. She never imagined the treasure map she went through so much trouble to obtain turned out to be fake! When she returned to Dark Cabinet to report, she thought it would be a great achievement. She didn't expect the map to be an imitation!
She was punished in Dark Cabinet. Her grudge against the Bai family grew.
Returning to Lan City, she originally wanted to go straight to kill Lady Bai, but unexpectedly Lady Bai knew martial arts and was not her match at all.
"The real treasure map is waterproof and fireproof. It looks roughly like this." The woman handed her a map.
The previous fake treasure map was exposed when the Master burned it with fire, and she found out it was fake.
"This Lady Bai is no simple character. Her martial arts skill is high. I'm afraid only if Bai Yunhan is poisoned will she compromise." The woman said thoughtfully.
"Also, I always thought it was the drug store owner who helped me make the kill, but today I found out it wasn't him. I suspect it was Lady Bai's people who killed him. From when I entered the Bai house, perhaps my every move has been under her control. She merely used my hand and your mother's hand to kill Old Master Bai!"
