Chapter 3: Collecting Some Interest

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Bam!”

A dull knock sounded and Xuan Yuanhuan heavily hit the bed frame!

“Crack!”

Another crisp cracking sound could be heard. Xuan Yuanhuan’s collision had broken his nose and he released a miserable scream because of the pain. “Ahh—”

A mocking expression surfaced in Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes. Since you caused the death of the previous owner, I shall collect your kneeling as interest first!1

Xuan Yuanhuan covered his nose in pain, it was bleeding and the blood was uncontrollably flowing out. The severe pain caused him to feel dizzy…

“Your Highness, how are you feeling?”

Worry surfaced on Baili Yuyan’s swollen face and she stood up in a hurry as she looked at Xuan Yuanhuan beside her.

Their gazes met. His lower face was covered in blood and his appearance was extremely comical.

“Damn it!”

Xuan Yuanhuan cursed and glared at Baili Hongzhuang in anger. He then grabbed her neck with his hand.

“Baili Hongzhuang, were you the one who did it!”

Baili Hongzhuang grabbed Xuan Yuanhuan’s hand that was strangling her neck and revealed a blank and innocent expression. “Your Highness, I… I haven’t done anything!”

Xuan Yuanhuan’s anger surged forth but he knew that a blind woman like her could not have done anything. As such, he could only throw her to one side in anger and shout, “What bad luck!”

Baili Hongzhuang covered her neck and continuously coughed and sputtered. “Y-you, guys also feel like there’s bad luck in here too? I heard that this courtyard has been haunted since long ago, and it seems to be true.”

Baili Yuyan blanked out and asked, “What do you mean?”

“I’ve lived in this yard since I was a child and many strange incidents have happened here. This kind of situation, like inexplicably falling down, is only a common occurrence. In my opinion, my current miserable plight might possibly be due to this haunted house.”

Having said that, Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes brightened and a glimmer of hope surfaced on her pretty face.

“Sister, can you talk to father on my behalf and let me change my place of residence?”

Having heard her request, Baili Yuyan’s expression slightly changed. The General Estate was well decorated with the exception of the courtyard Baili Hongzhuang was staying in. That alone was a very strange existence.

She felt very uncomfortable every time she came in, so perhaps this courtyard was really haunted!

It seems like it would be better to come less in the future!

However, what she wanted was for Baili Hongzhuang to have no chances of rising up again, so how could she possibly help her change her place of residence?

“Sister, I will try to mention it to our father. I’m sure you know of his temper and I can’t guarantee that I will succeed.” Baili Yuyan revealed an expression that seemed to imply that she was placed in a difficult position, while her tone was gentle and full of helplessness.

Upon hearing Baili Yuyan’s hypocritical yet perfunctory words, Baili Hongzhuang sneered deep down inside.

She was smart to push everything onto the general and build up a gentle and kind image in front of Xuan Yuanhuan.

“Yuyan, why do you still care about this wastrel?” Xuan Yuanhuan had an expression of disgust on his face. “Let’s go!”

Xuan Yuanhuan did not wish to stay there for another second!

He was a Prince, set up high above all others and he had never been humiliated like he had been today. Most importantly, the severe pain from his broken nose was unbearable!

When they finally left, Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes were filled with a sharp and cold glint. Since she had now occupied this body, from this day forth she would be the General’s Estate’s Baili Hongzhuang!

She will return the pain and suffering Baili Yuyan and Xuan Yuanhuan inflicted on her a thousandfold!

The hardships they suffered today were merely a small amount of interest that she had collected.

It had to be known that she was not someone that was easily bullied!
