Forsaken Immortals Chapter 16
Advertisement
The Old General saw how Prince Yun was pampering Bai Rouyun, and a bad omen arose in his heart. For what reason had they arrived at his estate today?
It was not only the Old General who arrived then, the Young General had also arrived, and with him came all his wives and concubines along with their daughters.
The Young General believed that a man should have at least three wives and four concubines. He had a full three wives and twelve concubines. All of which had more than one child to his name.
If it wasn't because the General Estate also dealt with the business world, he might have had problems feeding his vast family.
Bai Rouyun's mother was also a concubine in the General Estate. However, she had never been favored, and she had died due to a problematic childbirth, leaving Bai Rouyun alone in the entire estate.
No one liked Bai Rouyun. The Old General had too many grandchildren to care about her, and the Young General was constantly reminded of the mother who had disgusted him to no ends whenever he looked at her.
It was to the point that he was the reason she became as she was today. When she was just born, she was an adorable little child, healthy as they could be, but because of a severe fever when she was five years old, and no one bothering to fetch a doctor, her brain had been wounded, resulting in what had happened to her later.
The Young General did not feel guilty about what he had done. Instead, he allowed the other children to use her as a punching bag. As long as she did not die, he would not step in.
And the only reason he had this bottom line was that his father, the Old General, refused to allow the same family to kill its own flesh and blood. Even if she was stupid, she was still one of their descendants.

All of this, Li Moyun had found out from his shadow guards before marrying Bai Rouyun, and he had informed her about it on the way to the General's Estate today.
She looked at the older man who was walking in, and her hands clenched unconsciously, but she quickly loosened them, and her smile did not falter even for a moment. Her eyes only glanced at the older man for a brief moment before they returned to Li Moyun; she looked at him and smiled as if he was the only person in the world to her.
Li Moyun rose to his feet, and seeing this, Bai Rouyun also scrambled to her feet. Although she was not as elegant as Li Moyun as she was pretending to be a fool, her movements were still oozing with natural grace that could not be erased, shocking the women that were entering the gate at that moment.
These women could not recognize her at first glance; they thought she was another woman as the dirty, disgusting waste in their eyes could never become such a graceful young lady.
Bai Rouyun's body was merely fifteen that year, the age at which weddings were allowed, and she was not fully developed. Due to suffering from malnutrition throughout the years, her body lacked a lot of nutrients, making her slightly petite, but now she looked as if she had been reborn.
Looking at her like this, the women were filled with jealousy, even more so when they saw that her hand was tightly grasped in the large palm of Li Moyun.
Although they were married, how could this woman possibly soil their male idol?
Just as Old General was about to speak, the fourth madam suddenly collapsed to the floor, her face was pale, and her body was trembling.

Was the waste still alive? How was that possible? She had personally fed her the Nine Yin Poison. Nine Yin Poison could only be dispelled by a cultivator at the innate realm, green stages. How was it possible for this trash to detoxify herself?
Or had Li Moyun perhaps done it for her? Looking at them right now, it seemed that he was truly fond of the waste, so it made sense that he had detoxified her; but did this mean that he knew she was the one who had poisoned the woman? Had he come to ask for an explanation?
Her heart was filled with fear, and she could not help but tremble.
"What are you doing?" The Old General looked at her with anger. Falling to the floor in front of Prince Yun was quite embarrassing.
"I... I slipped." The Fourth Madame slowly rose to her feet and dusted her clothes off before she moved to her seat.
Within the main hall, every member of the Bai family had their own seat, except Bai Rouyun. She was stupid; hence they would never let her into the main hall before.
Noticing the many hateful glances that were thrown her way, Bai Rouyun smiled even sweeter. She had come today to find out if any of them treated her as a family member, but from what she could see, they all hated her.
If that was the case, then she did not have to hold back when meting out the punishment to the Bai Family. She was no longer the weak and easily bullied Bai Rouyun.
She would return everything she had suffered a hundredfold. The people from the Bai Family had killed the original host; it was only natural that she took revenge for the departed soul in a debt of gratitude for getting her body.

Back in Time: I Choose to Love You
Si Mi had been foolish in her past life. She aborted the child she had with her husband just so she could return to her first boyfriend, Fu Xing. Yet, Fu Xing had no intention of reconciling with her, and even ridiculed her for flattering herself. With that, Si Mi felt that she had been abandoned by the world. She wandered the streets dejectedly and was killed by a car that malfunctioned. As her soul floated in midair, she saw her stepsister secretly meeting up with the driver who killed her to give him a large sum of hush money. She even saw her stepmother, who had always doted on her, say, "That girl finally died. At least my efforts weren't wasted in spoiling her to the point of being brainless and arrogant! My dear daughter, you can finally relax and be with Fu Xing now."Finally, Si Mi saw her ex-husband attending her funeral, and then took revenge for her death.
