Bai Xinyue had just come out of the room where the child was sleeping when Jin Wuyai rushed in like a gust of wind, his face contorted with anger.

"Bai Xinyue, there's a limit to your jealousy. As the matriarch of the household, how can you make things difficult for a helpless, lonely woman?"

"Young Master, what makes you say that?" Bai Xinyue asked slowly, feigning ignorance, as she sat in her chair.

"On what grounds did you stop the expenditures on Hengxi Street?"

"Why should I? Because she's your mistress, so you should support her with your own savings instead of the family's money. What? Is that woman supported by the whole family? Does that mean everyone can have a taste?" Bai Xinyue said with no attempt to hide her sarcasm.

"You," Jin Wuyai took a deep breath and changed his tone, "Xinyue, you are my wife. What are those people outside? They can't compare to you. I was just being soft-hearted for a moment. She will go back once she finds her family. You don't need to worry about her threatening your position in my heart."

He spoke while touching and kneading her hand.

Bai Xinyue looked down at his movements, neither pulling her hand back nor being moved: "My status? I came from a marriage alliance between the Gale Wolf Clan and the Golden Lion Clan. As long as my clan still exists and the two clans are not at odds, even if I cripple you, no one can shake my status."

Jin Wuyai used to be very good at manipulating Bai Xinyue's emotions, otherwise he wouldn't have been so infatuated with her. However, he has been spoiled by Bai Xinyue's submissive nature over the past few years, and when she pushes him back, he immediately gets angry.

"Xinyue, if you keep causing trouble, I'm going to stay on Hengxi Street and never come back."

"Suit yourself." Bai Xinyue withdrew her hand and raised her hand to the maid.

Liu Ying took a clean silk handkerchief and wiped her hands.

Jin Wuyai was furious at this action: "You bastard, how dare you look down on this young master?"

He dared not touch Bai Xinyue, but he dared not touch a maid? He raised his foot to kick Liu Ying, and with that angle and force, if he hit her, she would be crippled if not killed.

Bai Xinyue pulled Liu Ying behind her and kicked Jin Wuyai away from the side: "Are you crazy to mess with my wolf clan in front of me?"

The Golden Lion's bloodline was already inferior to that of the Gale Wolf Clan, and Bai Xinyue's beast bloodline was even more outstanding. Naturally, he was no match for her. In fact, when her aura pressed down on him, he was pressed to the ground for a moment and dared not move.

"Xin Yue, you're going to hit me for a maid?"

"No matter what her current status is, she is a member of my wolf clan, and not just anyone can touch her." Bai Xinyue felt a hint of disdain in her heart. If someone like that is the young master, then the Golden Lion Clan has no future.

"I am your husband."

"Heh, you actually know that?"

"Xinyue, did someone from Hengxi Street upset you? Don't be angry, I'll go teach her a lesson right now. Don't be angry, I'll come back for dinner tonight and spend time with you." Jin Wuyai got up, coaxing her gently, but his feet were already walking outside.

Bai Xinyue calmly sat back down. This Jin Wuyai is really flexible and adaptable. No wonder the original owner was completely helpless against him.

Jin Wuyai did not return that night, nor did he return for the next few days.

Instead of searching, Bai Xinyue focused on purging the inner quarters, cultivating trusted confidants, honing her skills, and bringing the children to her side.

The place they were in was called Gale Ridge, which was originally the territory of the Wolf Clan. Later, they became closer to the Lion Clan, and many of the Lion Clan's beastmen moved here. It was a kind of regression for the Wolf Clan, since their territory had been divided up by other beastmen.

But so far, the wolf pack still holds the dominant position and has not allowed the lion pack to suppress them.

Jin Wuyai is the third son of the Golden Lion Clan Chief and the current Young Clan Chief. He became the Young Clan Chief not because he was the most outstanding, but largely because he married Bai Xinyue of the Gale Wolf Clan.

Despite her powerful background, the original owner was still able to live the life of a resentful woman, mainly due to her personality. She lost her mother at a young age, and her father soon remarried. This second wife was a scheming woman who doted on Bai Xinyue, but also raised her to be like this, respecting her husband above all else and disregarding the nobility of her bloodline.

Bai Xinyue's brother, Bai Yan, is also her half-brother. Bai Yan's mother was ambushed while she was pregnant with him, which caused him to be weak and sickly. Although his bloodline is very good, it is not allowed to be awakened. He does not even dare to participate in activities to worship the totem spirit, for fear that awakening his bloodline will cause his body to collapse.

But he was very clever; he persevered despite his illness, making everyone dare not underestimate him and his sister.

Bai Xinyue no longer harbors those thoughts. Jin Wuyai is merely a tool for a marriage alliance, and he must secure his position as the young clan leader, because in her plan, the Golden Lion Clan is Changyuan's private property.

The Gale Wolf Clan, hehe, let her Longwind get a share of the pie!

In just half a month, a batch of servants in the mansion had been replaced. She didn't investigate who among the previous batch had spies. Among the new batch, she only kept an eye on those with beast blood, as these were the ones she truly wanted to cultivate into trusted confidants.

To win people's hearts, all she has to do is offer them a promising future, good fortune, and a worry-free life for their families. If she provides that, why would she be afraid of not having any confidants?

"Young Madam, you wanted to see me?"

"Sili, I heard your wife is ill?"

"Reporting to the young mistress, she was stung by a jade-tailed poisonous bee while collecting them."

"Poisonous wasps? Jade-tailed wasps? How come there are jade-tailed wasps near Gale Ridge?"

"There weren't any before. That area has always been where everyone collects them. I don't know why the jade-tailed bees suddenly appeared."

"Isn't this a threat to the safety of ordinary orcs! Come on, I'll go take a look, clear out the poisonous bees, and while I'm at it, get some royal jelly for your wife to treat her bee venom." Bai Xinyue stood up decisively.

"This, young mistress, is somewhat dangerous. I was planning to take some friends to check on things during my leave," Si Li said in alarm, quickly trying to dissuade her.

"The approach of the poisonous bees to Gale Ridge is no small matter; I must go and see for myself," Bai Xinyue insisted, ordering someone to change her clothes.

It's not a big deal, but isn't this the stage where she's winning people over and building her reputation? Naturally, she has to do it herself.

Bai Xinyue changed into an outfit for going out, all in white, with white soft leather trim on key parts, and even white boots, except for silver patterns embroidered on the collar and the edges of the boots.

The beast form of the Gale Wolf Clan is pure white, and the original owner also liked white clothes. However, Jin Wuyai preferred gold and crimson, and after the original owner got married, he mostly wore those two colors.

They selected over twenty people with beastman blood and marched in a grand procession straight out of the city.

"Young Madam, this is it, look," Si Li said in a low voice, pointing to a lone jade-tailed bee.

The jade-tailed bee, as its name suggests, has a stinger like green jade. It is extremely fierce. If you provoke it, its swarm will relentlessly chase and sting you. Most importantly, its stinger is poisonous. After being stung, you will feel weak all day and your vision will be blurred.
