Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 138 Bai Ruofei's pretty boy

There really is a demon in the car.

However, she is the kind of noble succubus who can exude endless charm and make people's hearts flutter even when she is sitting still.

Luo Qingfeng entered the carriage.

Inside the carriage, a noble woman sat gracefully on a seat covered with a luxurious fur carpet, her eyes closed in repose. Her form-fitting white dress accentuated her ample bosom, making it appear even more imposing, while her waist was slender and delicate, like a willow branch swaying in the breeze, seemingly too fragile to be grasped.

The carriage was filled with a faint floral fragrance and the natural scent of women.

Luo Qingfeng withdrew his gaze and sat down near the door, not in the mood for wild thoughts.

The carriage swayed and rattled out of the North Courtyard and onto the busy street.

They soon arrived at the inner city gate.

The carriage was stopped, but was quickly allowed to pass without anyone even checking the interior.

Luo Qingfeng thought to himself: It seems that the family background of this Senior Bai's mother is extraordinary.

He couldn't help but glance at the woman in front of him again, and found that she had opened her eyes and was looking at him.

Their eyes met.

Luo Qingfeng had no choice but to say, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Bai."

Bai Ruofei said calmly, "It is indeed a bit troublesome."

At this moment, Granny Ning outside spoke up: "Miss, are we going home, or somewhere else? If we're going home, we have to put this boy down first; we can't bring him home."

Bai Ruofei remained silent and did not answer immediately.

Grandma Ning immediately became anxious: "Miss, you're not really going to bring him home, are you? Your family has always been kind to you... This boy is a man, and he looks like a pretty boy."

Luo Qingfeng was immediately displeased, but he could only endure it.

After all, we need their help at this time.

He had no choice but to say, "This junior can go down and wait on the street."

Granny Ning said from outside, "Then I'll stop in front of the temple ahead. You go down and wait for news inside the temple."

Luo Qingfeng prepared to get off the bus.

At this moment, Bai Ruofei spoke up: "Take him back."

Upon hearing this, Granny Ning hurriedly said, "Miss, you mustn't! That family has always treated you badly... If you take this boy back, things will get really serious!"

Bai Ruofei didn't speak again, and looked at the boy in the carriage.

Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "Senior Bai, I can go down and wait. It is indeed inappropriate to go to your residence like this."

He could actually guess some of it.

Senior Bai's mother gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock, and that irresponsible great demon ran away again. Not to mention in this world, even in his world, he would definitely be talked about behind his back, and even be despised and ridiculed.

Senior Bai's mother comes from a very powerful family, so she must value these things even more. With her mother acting this way, the entire family will probably be ridiculed.

So it's actually quite normal for her family to be hostile towards her.

Bai Ruofei stared at him silently for a while, then suddenly asked, "Aren't you afraid of what others will say?"

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "This junior is not afraid, but this junior is afraid that senior will be gossiped about."

Bai Ruofei glanced at him again and said to the outside, "Let's go home."

Grandma Ning did not try to persuade her further.

After a moment of silence in the carriage, Bai Ruofei spoke calmly, "From before I was even born until now, I've been the subject of gossip. So, I'm not afraid."

Looking at her, Luo Qingfeng felt a surge of pity.

Thinking about it this way, this woman is really pitiful.

No wonder, no wonder she was so eager to leave this place and go to the Snow God Palace, which she seemed to have never been before.

He asked again cautiously, "Where is Senior Bai's mother?"

Bai Ruofei paused for a moment, then said, "She passed away from illness."

Luo Qingfeng suddenly remembered the case at Ningguo Mansion.

The mother of the second son could not bear the scolding, reprimands, and cold treatment from the Duke of Ningguo. In the end, she died of illness, feeling depressed and disheartened.

Senior Bai's mother must have endured even more.

She endured this from the time she became pregnant until she raised Senior Bai to adulthood. During this period, she suffered countless gossips, insults, and cold treatment.

No wonder Senior Bai doesn't like to talk and always seems aloof.

The carriage soon turned into a small alley.

Bai Ruofei suddenly looked at him again and asked, "Are you scared?"

Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "A little."

After all, he was going to an unknown place, and there were many people there who might misunderstand his relationship with Senior Bai. He didn't know what might happen.

He found Senior Bai's behavior strange; why did he suddenly bring him home?

Was it intentional to provoke those people?

"They want to force me to get married."

Bai Ruofei suddenly said, "So, I want to take you back and shut them up."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

Bai Ruofei stared into his eyes and at the expression on his face, and asked, "Are you willing to help me?"

Luo Qingfeng nodded without hesitation, "Of course I'm willing. But, Senior Bai, do you think this is a good idea? We can't live like this forever..."

He suddenly added, "Senior Bai has already decided to leave, so he wants to use me as a cover for now to prevent them from bothering you anymore?"

Bai Ruofei replied, "Mm."

She paused, then added, "But if I leave, they might target you. Are you afraid?"

Luo Qingfeng immediately replied, "I have been thinking about how to repay Senior Bai. Now that Senior Bai needs my help, I will naturally do my duty without hesitation. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Bai Ruo looked at him and said, "No regrets?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "This junior will never regret it!"

Bai Ruofei did not speak again.

The carriage quickly stopped at the very end of the alley.

Granny Ning sighed outside and said, "Miss, we've arrived."

Luo Qingfeng lifted the carriage curtain, bent down and stepped out, standing to the side with the curtain still open, like a considerate servant.

Bai Ruofei glanced at him and got off the carriage.

Luo Qingfeng jumped down and then realized that this was the back gate of a mansion. Judging from the mansion's courtyard wall, it was really big inside.

Granny Ning turned the carriage around and looked at him, saying, "Young man, protect the young lady well. I'll go and find out some information for you."

Luo Qingfeng quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Grandma."

Granny Ning looked at her young mistress, sighed again, got into the carriage, and drove away.

"Let's go."

Bai Ruofei went straight in.

Luo Qingfeng quickly followed behind.

At the back door, several guards stood. Upon seeing Bai Ruofei, they quickly bowed their heads respectfully and said, "Ninth Miss."

Upon seeing Luo Qingfeng following behind, the group was taken aback. Just as they were about to ask, Bai Ruofei suddenly reached out, took Luo Qingfeng's hand, and walked forward with an icy expression.

The group of people stood there dumbfounded, exchanging bewildered glances.

Luo Qingfeng was also somewhat bewildered. The jade-like hand in his hand was soft and cool, delicate and boneless, with smooth and tender skin, like a piece of soft jade.

At that moment, his heart seemed to stop beating.

Shouldn't.

How could he be so pathetic, like he's never even held a woman's hand before?

After walking out of the round gate, they encountered several maids. When they saw the two holding hands like this, their expressions changed, and they stood there stunned, even forgetting to bow.

Along the way, they encountered many servants and maids, all of whom were like this, as if they had witnessed something terrifying and unbelievable.

The two walked along and entered through a round gate at the back, arriving at a garden.

After crossing a winding stone bridge, a small courtyard appears at the end of the flower path. The gate is closed, and two clumps of lush green bamboo are planted on either side of the entrance.

A wooden sign hangs on the door, with the words "Baihuaju" written on it.

Bai Ruofei released his hand, pushed open the door, and went inside.

The courtyard wasn't very big, but it was filled with all kinds of flowers. Snowflakes were still falling from the sky, but the courtyard was a riot of colors, with only water stains on the ground and no snow accumulation.

At the same time, plumes of heat rose slowly from the soil.

As soon as Luo Qingfeng entered the courtyard, he felt warmth. The entire mansion was much warmer than outside, and this courtyard was even warmer.

Clearly, there might be hot springs flowing underground, or a formation might have been set up.

Bai Ruofei stopped in the courtyard, looked at the flowers, and was in a daze for a moment before climbing the steps and pushing open the door.

At this moment, two maids came in carrying a hand warmer, a hand warmer, and an incense burner. They lowered their heads, hurriedly went into the room, and then left silently.

Luo Qingfeng followed him into the house.

Bai Ruofei went into the room next door, and after a moment, said from inside, "Why don't you come in?"

Luo Qingfeng quickly replied, "This junior will wait here."

Bai Ruofei said from inside, "This is the study."

Luo Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then took off his shoes at the door and went inside.

The floor was covered with a thick, spotless carpet. The room contained bookshelves, a desk, a chaise lounge, and chairs, but nothing else.

Bai Ruofei stood by the window, staring blankly at the snowflakes falling outside.

After a moment, she said, "Go out for a bit. If anyone comes over later, you don't need to go out or say anything. Just stay in your room."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "This junior will go with you, senior."

Bai Ruofei was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at him: "Why are you coming with me? To see my maternal grandparents and uncles?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and said, "Senior, don't you need my help?"

A hint of tenderness appeared in Bai Ruofei's cool eyes as she softly said, "You've already helped me."

She paused for a moment, then added, "You don't need to see them for now; there's no need."

Luo Qingfeng replied, "Yes."

Bai Ruofei looked at him for a while, then walked up to him, reached out her jade-like hand, and gently removed a snowflake from his hair, whispering, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Luo Qingfeng: "..."

Senior, may I say this?

Bai Ruofei left the room and went out of the courtyard.

Luo Qingfeng waited for an entire afternoon.

Some people did come in during that time, but they all talked in hushed tones and no one dared to come in.

There are men and women.

As darkness fell, Bai Ruofei finally returned.

"In the Zhang family mansion in Yangliu Lane, north of the city, there lives a wealthy merchant named Zhang Zhuang, who is in the jewelry business. Some time ago, two maids died in his household, and a daughter and another maid went missing. They suspect that it is the work of demons, so they sought help from the Demon Suppression Temple."

"Early yesterday morning, two disciples of the Demon Suppression Academy were killed, and two others went missing. The Southern Academy sent a team of cultivators to investigate and search, but they were not found."

After hearing this, Luo Qingfeng immediately prepared to take his leave.

Bai Ruofei said, "Wait until dark before you go. The disciples from the South Courtyard should still be there. Even if you go, you won't be able to get in, and it will only arouse suspicion."

Luo Qingfeng was extremely anxious, but he had no choice but to endure it.

Bai Ruofei glanced at him and said, "The South Courtyard has not announced that they are dead. Their soul tablets are still kept in the courtyard, so they should still be alive."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "There's no sign of them leaving or escaping?"

Bai Ruofei said, "There shouldn't be."

Luo Qingfeng fell silent and looked out the window at the sky.

Just then, a woman's voice came from outside: "Fei'er, you're back? May Grandma come in and see you?"

Bai Ruofei's expression changed slightly.
