Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 264 The so-called destined person is just a tool

The next day, Nanchun woke up at noon.

He held his aching waist and tried to sit up.

Just then Bai Xun came in with steaming hot food.

Seeing him coming, Nanchun snorted.

Bai Xun came over with a smile and rubbed his waist. "It's all my fault. I didn't have self-control. I'll be more careful next time. Don't be angry, okay?"

Nan Chun rolled his eyes at him and said, "He apologized very quickly. He will definitely do the same in the future."

Although I didn't dislike it and even felt it was quite comfortable, my waist, legs, and that indescribable part of my body felt like they weren't mine anymore.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Bai Xun brought him hot water for him to wash, and then brought him ginseng chicken soup to feed him.

"Second Young Madam, are you sick?" Jindou asked worriedly, sticking out his little head.

Lingyun pulled him out and said awkwardly, "Children don't understand."

Then she hurriedly closed the door, grabbed Jindou's ear and took him away.

"The second young lady is sick, so I asked him out of kindness...Oh my, it hurts, it hurts..." Jindou's little face wrinkled.

"I'm not sick! Oh, I can't explain it to you clearly. Anyway, the second young master is here, don't disturb them." Lingyun blushed.

Last night she and Ah Fu were waiting to deliver water to the Second Young Master and Second Young Mistress's house.

The noise... made her so embarrassed that she hurried back to the house and left the task of delivering water to Ah Fu.

Bai Xun seemed to be really planning not to come back, and he didn't go back to the old house for two days.

Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.

Mrs. Bai sighed, "Nan is a troublemaker. He has brought unrest to our family and even alienated Xun'er from us."

Bai Yishui thought for a moment and said, "Baishan, go to the other courtyard and tell them that we're all having dinner at the old house on New Year's Eve, and invite Nanchun's mother as well."

"Yes, master."

When Bai Shan arrived at the villa, Bai Xun and Nan Chun were playing snowball fights with a group of servants.

A snowball came straight towards Baishan. He couldn't avoid it and the snowball hit him right on the forehead.

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's the butler." Erniu hurried forward and used his sleeves to wipe the snow off his face.

Bai Shan didn't get angry either. He smiled and said, "You guys, you're all grown up, why are you acting like kids?"

"Uncle Shan, is there anything wrong?" Bai Xun asked.

"Please invite Madam Nan, the Second Young Master and the Second Young Mistress to come to the villa to have the New Year's Eve dinner tonight. Second Young Master, it's New Year's Day, please don't get angry with the head of the family and the old lady. If you do that, it will be difficult for Madam Nan and the Second Young Mistress to get in between." Bai Shan advised earnestly.

Song Amei said hurriedly, "Thank you, butler. We will be there on time."

It's a rare family dinner, it's rare for so many people to gather together, and it's rare for Mrs. Bai to be so kind.

The meal was a joyful one, and the delicious food on the table was well worth it.

"It's getting late, so we won't bother you any more." Song Amei stood up and said.

"Okay, it's dark and the road is slippery, so be careful on the road. Bai Xun, you stay and talk to me." Bai Yishui said.

In front of Song Amei, Bai Xun couldn't say much and had to agree.

Come to the study room.

Bai Yishui sighed and said, "Although it was a temporary solution when I asked you to marry a man as your legal wife, it was indeed inconsiderate of me."

Bai Xun just found it funny. For the past twenty years, his grandfather always said that you must marry your destined person, and it won't work if it's not the destined person.

Now that I'm married to my destined person and living happily ever after, it's become a temporary solution that's ill-considered.

He pretended to know nothing: "Nanchun is my destined one, and it is only right for me to marry him."

Bai Yishui coughed awkwardly twice and said, "Alas, you have grown up. It's time for you to take on the responsibility of the head of the family. There are some things you should know. In fact, there is no such thing as a destined person."

Bai Xun pretended to be surprised: "What? Grandfather, what do you mean?"

"The so-called Great Witch and the Destined Person were actually tools used by the Bai family's side branches to restrain the main branch. What they meant was that you can be the head of the main branch, but your wife must be chosen from among the candidates selected by the side branches.

They openly planted their people in the old house, firmly tying the main lineage to their interests. However, we became more and more powerful and now have complete control over the family's right to speak.

The destined person's words became a cover. They were not abolished because they could be used as an excuse to refuse others who wanted to tie their interests to the Bai family through marriage. They could also be used to select marriage partners that would benefit the family.

Sure enough...

Bai Xun pretended to be incredulous: "Then why did you choose the Nan family in the first place? The Nan family has no power or influence, what profit can we get from it?"

Bai Yishui sighed and said, "Your parents passed away early, and you and your brother are still young. There are many people with ill intentions who are eyeing the Bai family covetously. I had no choice but to decide early on that you would be the next head of the family and arrange your marriage with the Nan family.

The Bai family has long since declined, and the situation is unstable. It is difficult to survive relying solely on the previous business. The porcelain business is too important to the Bai family. The Bai family needs Nan Chenglin's help to find the tomb.

The marriage with the Nan family is a deal! I want to tie Nan Chenglin down firmly and make him work for the Bai family. The Nan family's daughter was born weak and needs the best medicine to keep her alive, which the Nan family can't afford.

"Between you and her, I'm telling Nan Chenglin that as long as he works wholeheartedly for the Bai family, the Bai family will take full responsibility for his granddaughter's illness. The doctor told me that even with the best medicine, the girl won't live long. That engagement is actually just a piece of empty paper."

"What about Nanchun?" Bai Xun asked.

"Your brother has already told you, right? Nan Chenglin may have ulterior motives towards the Bai family and is colluding with outsiders. By tying Nan Chun to the Bai family, Nan Chenglin won't dare to act rashly." Bai Yishui said.

Bai Xun was silent for a long time.

He looked straight at Bai Yishui: "Did Nanchun's sister really die of illness?"

Bai Yishui's hand trembled slightly, and the water in the teacup splashed out.

"Xun'er, you are a member of the Bai family, you are the head of the Bai family, you must put the overall situation first in everything you do." Bai Yishui said.

Bai Xun smiled bitterly, bowed and left.

Standing in this huge house, it felt as if I was squeezed in the middle by cold walls of iron coming from all directions, unable to escape or hide.

He looked up at the dark sky, where snowflakes were falling.

A family of scholars, a century-old family, well-educated and well-mannered, winning people over with virtue...

Every word in the family motto felt like a slap in his face.

"Bai Xun, let's go home!"

Nanchun was standing not far away, smiling at him, his little face red from the cold.

Nanchun was afraid that Baixun would have an argument with the head of the family because of him, so she did not return to the villa and waited for him here.

Bai Xun walked quickly towards Nanchun and hugged him tightly in his arms.

Nanchun thought he had been wronged by the master of the house, so she hugged him back and said softly, "Let's go home!"

"Well, let's go home." Bai Xun's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.
