Chapter 2 - Husband, Li Moyun
Frowning, the man looked at the woman. She looked exactly the sa as the woman he had married today, but she was clearly different.
At the sa ti, he was sure that she was the sa, but not the sa. Why would she poison herself? It was clear that soone had tried to get rid of her, and that ant that she was the original.
"Tell who you are, or I will kill you," the man decided that it was ti to be ruthless. He had only married the woman because she was dumb, deaf, and mute. She would be unable to tell anyone what actually happened in his palace, but now it seed that his plans had been obstructed.
"My na is Bai Rouyun," she said after contemplating her options. She knew that this man was not joking when he threatened to kill her. "I am not sure how I ended up here," she continued.
"One mont I died, the next I was here."
The man was shocked when he heard this. Spirit resurrection? Seeing that he was deep in thought, Bai Rouyun beca slightly anxious. "Hey, I told you the truth, don’t kill now," she said with a ek voice.
The man suddenly realized he had been silent for so ti, and a sinister smile spread on his lips. "I won’t," he promised, causing Bai Rouyun to take a deep breath of relief.
"But you will have to play the act of my wife well," he continued. "The Bai Rouyun you have beco is a mute, deaf, and dumb girl. Her beauty is unparalleled, but her mind is like a five-year-old child, and she can neither speak nor hear."
Bai Rouyun was not expecting this. "Your taste is quite heavy," she comnted after a mont, but her words just caused the man’s face to turn black.
"I had no choice," he explained. "I was forced into this marriage by my royal father, and since she was a dumb kid, she would not be able to tattle tale on what happens in the palace."
Hearing this, Bai Rouyun’s eyes glead with excitent. What happened in the palace? Was it interesting?
Seeing her curious expression, the man could not help but chuckle. The displeasure he felt before vanished, as her appearance was too adorable.
Then Bai Rouyun was reminded of a few things. "I can act like a dumb kid for so ti, but you will have to find a doctor who can cure ," she said after considering her options.
"I died with grievances, and I wish to seek revenge, but as a dumb person, that is not possible."
"That’s fine," the man did not mind. He knew the woman’s secret; she would never betray him, as long as she wished to be alive.
Spirit possession was sothing deeply frowned upon, and if he chose to share this news with others, she would definitely die.
"Well then, husband, to our continued collaboration," Bai Rouyun said with a smile as she lifted a glass of wine from the table and gave him a toast. After seeing her gesture, he also took a cup and offered her a toast in return.
Looking at him, Bai Rouyun suddenly thought of sothing. "What is your na?" she should at least know the na of her husband.
"Li Moyun"
Nodding her head, Bai Rouyun smiled widely as she moved to the bed, took a pair of blankets and pillows, and tossed them to the floor.
"As a man, you would not fight with for the bed, right?" she asked, her smile so broad that her eyes had bent into crescent moons.
Seeing her like this, Li Moyun was feeling helpless, but he could not help but smile as he shook his head.
"If you want the bed, naturally, I will not fight with you for it," he said.
Initially, he had planned on sharing the bed with her, but after seeing her act, he found her amazingly adorable, and he could not help but give in. But when had he, Li Moyun, ever slept on the floor?
Smiling helplessly to himself, he realized that he seed to have so sowhat positive thoughts about this new Bai Rouyun.
Bai Rouyun, on the other hand, did not overthink. She just grinned, blew out the candle, and laid down on the bed, after which she fell asleep.
The following day she awoke feeling refreshed. A smile was ever-present on her lips as she stretched, and when she looked around, she found that Li Moyun was seated not far from her, but instead of sleeping, he was cultivating.
When she started stirring, he broke off his cultivation and looked at her. "Awake?" he asked, and the woman nodded her head as she rubbed her tummy. "I’m hungry," she muttered.
"As long as you are within my Yun Palace, you can act as you please," Li Moyun started explaining, "but if you leave, or if soone cos to see you, you have to behave as if you are dumb. Can you do that?"
"No problem," Bai Rouyun grinned and took his arm intimately and familiarly.
Li Moyun was stunned at first, but he, who loathed close contact with anyone, did not dislike this petite and slender hand holding onto him.
"Let take you to the dining room," he continued, and together they left the chamber.
Bai Rouyun quickly realized that she was not very welco within the palace. Everyone was looking at her with disdain and a sense of superiority; even a maid glared at her.
Seeing that her actions were infuriating the maids they ca across, she just smiled brilliantly; her face expressing her complete lack of care for so re servants’ thoughts.
