Chapter 143: Bai He’s Bold Move

Mei’er’s face still carried a strange blush when she go to her room.

However, she she just about to push the door open and she discovered that the window in her room was wide open.

She frowned slightly, finding it a bit strange and walked over to latch the window shut.

But the moment she turned around there was suddenly a figure standing behind her.

It startled her, and just as she was about to speak, Bai He abruptly raised his hand and tapped one of her acupoints.

Mei’er’s spiritual power was weak; compared to Bai He, she was naturally insignificant.

Bai He sat down on a chair, a faint smile on his face. "Miss Mei’er."

Mei’er stared at him rigidly.

Only then did Bai He realize that when he had cast the immobilization spell earlier, he had also prevented her from speaking.

He snapped his fingers. "I can let you speak, but you mustn’t scream. Otherwise, you won’t be able to speak for the rest of your life."

Bai He said this with a bit of nervousness.

In truth, even if Mei’er did scream, he probably wouldn’t do much at most, he would just run away.

But that was how it always played out in dramas, so saying it like this shouldn’t be a problem.

Sure enough, after regaining her ability to speak, Mei’er’s face was full of fear, but she didn’t shout.

She was afraid that Bai He might kill her.

"Sir, I have no grievances with you. Why have you come to kill me?"

"I’m not here to kill you. I just want to ask you for a favor. Don’t say you can’t help, I know your relationship with the Young Manor Master of Jurchen Manor isn’t shallow. This is something you can help with."

Mei’er’s lips trembled. "Sir, I’m just a lowly maid. I can’t help you with anything. Please spare me."

"How could that be? Didn’t the Young Manor Master already promise to marry you? You’re just a maid, if he didn’t truly like you, why would he make such a promise?"

The trope of a young master and a maid was something Bai He actually quite liked.

But Mei’er denied it. "Sir, even if you heard it, you don’t understand the Young Manor Master at all. What he feels for me is just momentary novelty. He doesn’t truly love me. Sir, I can’t help you, please let me go."

Bai He was quite surprised.

Could that really be the case?

If it was, then this maid in front of him was actually very clear-headed.

Bai He the. stood up, took out a pill and forcibly stuffed it into Mei’er’s mouth.

When Mei’er was forced to swallow it her face filled with shock.

"Sir, what did you make me eat?"

Bai He raised his brows and smiled. "Poison, of course. What else could it be? I don’t care about anything else. Tomorrow, find a way to bring the Young Manor Master to Wanxi Tavern. If he doesn’t come by this time tomorrow, the poison will take effect and you’ll die. And don’t even think about finding someone to save you... I can guarantee that the doctors of Jurchen Manor won’t be able to cure my poison."

Mei’er’s face immediately turned deathly pale.

"Sir, spare my life."

"Don’t say that to me, I don’t want to hear it! I’m leaving." Before leaving, Bai He directly released her acupoints, then jumped out of the window and disappeared.

"Host, you didn’t actually poison her, did you?"

"Oh please, where would I even get poison from? I was just scaring her. I believe that even if that maid won’t end up marrying that so-called Young Manor Master, I can still be sure that she’ll manage to lure him to Wanxi Tavern."

As long as they could meet the Young Manor Master, the rest of the matter would be easy to handle.

Bai He was full of confidence and completely overlooking the fact that someone was following him from afar.

Of course, Ye Shiyuan wasn’t at ease letting Bai He go to Jurchen Manor alone. But since Bai He had been so insistent, he had no choice but to let him have his way.

When Bai He returned to his room it was still early and his appetite had come back.

Seeing that the fruits Ye Shiyuan had brought were actually placed in the room, he ate a few, then prepared to rest.

The next day, Bai He called Ye Shiyuan and Xu Feng to come downstairs and have a meal together.

Suddenly, several people barged in from outside.

Those who had been eating downstairs either hurried back to their rooms or quickly left.

Very soon, only the three of them remained.

The group that had entered automatically split into two rows, standing at the entrance in an extremely arrogant manner.

Not long after that, a man then walked in.

He’s around twenty years old, young and handsome, yet very flamboyant.

He swept his gaze over everyone before finally fixing it on Bai He.

He slowly walked toward Bai He.

A jolt went through Bai He’s heart, could it be that he already knew it was him who had sought him out?

"Looks like Mei’er wasn’t wrong. There really is a little beauty at Wanxi Tavern."

It was just a pity that Bai He was a bit too young.

If he were just a little older, he would surely be a rare beauty.

Even so, Wanyan Xiyin was still very satisfied with Bai He.

A smile curved at his lips. "Little beauty, how about you come back to the manor with me and follow this young master?"

Bai He roughly understood what method Mei’er had used to bring this Young Manor Master here.

Although the method wasn’t exactly good, as long as it worked, that was enough.

Bai He smiled. "Follow you? I don’t really mind following you, but I’m afraid some people might not agree."

Bai He truly had some admiration for Wanyan Xiyin’s boldness.
