Chapter 343: The Bad-headed Male Protagonist: Reincarnated as the Ex-wife of a Poor Family’s Top Sch

Lin Shuwan's body trembled slightly, and her hands unconsciously climbed up Bai Yunzhi's shoulders, responding to his kiss.

Bai Yunzhi's nose was filled with the unique scent of green bamboo on her body. This fresh smell made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

A faint light flashed in Lin Shuwan's eyes, and her response gradually became more passionate. She kissed Bai Yunzhi, and their breathing and heartbeats intertwined.

Bai Yunzhi's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. His hand slowly slid through Lin Shuwan's hair, caressing her cheek, feeling her silky smooth skin.

Lin Shuwan was immersed in Bai Yunzhi's tenderness. She followed his steps step by step and stepped into the gentle trap he designed.

The red waves rolled and sank step by step, the red candles wept, and the red gauze curtains fell, covering everything in the bed.

That night, water was called for three times in the bridal chamber, and soft moans and low roars entangled all night long.

The next morning.

There were sounds of sweeping outside the door.

Bai Yunzhi opened his eyes, pinched his eyebrows tiredly, and just when he was about to get up, he found that there was someone lying next to him.

He then remembered that he got married last night and the bride was not his childhood sweetheart and cousin.

Bai Yunzhi turned his head to look and saw Lin Shuwan's sleeping face.

She was wearing a bellyband, and the exposed skin was covered with some purple marks.

Her skin was very delicate, and although he hadn't used much force, he had left unnoticeable marks on her body. Her originally pink lips were now bright red and bloodshot, and it looked as if they had been severely ravaged.

A flash of tenderness flashed across Bai Yunzhi's eyes. He silently looked at the calm face so close to him. He wanted to bend down and kiss her forehead, but his cousin's sad eyes flashed before his eyes.

Bai Yunzhi's gentle expression suddenly faded. He got out of bed, walked to the side room, put on his clothes, and left the new house.

Lin Shuwan opened her eyes from her deep sleep, and watched Bai Yunzhi's footsteps leave angrily, with an ambiguous smile on her lips. She turned over and hugged the quilt, and the fertility talisman in her hand disappeared in her palm, and she fell asleep again.

It's time to serve tea in the morning.

Lin Shuwan rubbed his sore waist, washed and dressed with the help of the maid. When he came out, he saw Bai Yunzhi sitting in the room drinking tea.

Perhaps hearing her footsteps, Bai Yunzhi put down his teacup, looked over, and smiled gently. He stood up and walked to Lin Shuwan, held her hand, and said softly, "Madam, did you sleep well last night?"

Lin Shuwan's cheeks flushed, and she glared at Bai Yunzhi with her eyes rolling, saying, "It's all thanks to you."

Bai Yunzhi chuckled softly, his tone full of doting: "It's my husband's fault. Be careful when you serve tea later." As he said that, he raised his hand and tidied Lin Shuwan's messy hair.

Lin Shuwan secretly laughed at his quick expression change, but pretended to be shy and lowered her eyes.

The two of them walked hand in hand to the main hall and offered tea to their elders.

Bai Yunzhi was gentle and considerate throughout the whole process. He supported Lin Shuwan with his eyes full of concern.

Bai's mother sat in the main seat with a warm and kind smile on her face, and did not make things too difficult for Lin Shuwan.

That’s right, Lin Shuwan had just married into the family, and Bai Yunzhi still needed the support of the Lin family. Even if Bai’s mother was dissatisfied with her, she didn’t dare to show it.

Bai Yunzhi's cousin, Yuanniang, stood on one side. She looked at how gently Bai Yunzhi treated Lin Shuwan, and the blush on Lin Shuwan's face. She couldn't help but feel a dense pain in her heart, and her eyes were full of jealousy.

Lin Shuwan walked up to Yuanniang and said in a gentle voice, "This must be my cousin Yuanniang. You are lovely, just as my husband said, pretty and gentle."

Lin Shuwan took a box from the maid, handed it to Yuanniang, and said, "This is a gift that your cousin prepared for you. Do you like it?"

Yuanniang is only fourteen years old this year and has not yet reached the age of marriage. She does not know how to hide the jealousy and dissatisfaction in her eyes. Tears flash in her eyes and she looks hesitantly at Bai Yunzhi who is standing silently on the side.

Bai Yunzhi took the box, put it in Yuanniang's hand, and said softly, "This is a gift from your cousin's wife. She took a long time to choose it. Keep it well!"

Yuan Niang was comforted by Bai Yunzhi, took a deep breath to suppress her inner emotions, reached out to take the box, bowed, and said, "Yes, thank you, cousin and cousin-in-law."

Father Bai, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Okay, serve breakfast!"

The group sat down and the servants brought the dishes one after another.

Bai Yunzhi's studies were previously supported by his clan, but the Bai family was very ordinary and could only barely make ends meet.

If Bai Yunzhi hadn’t married Lin Shuwan, it would have been impossible for the Bai family to settle down in such a large house in the capital.

Some of the servants in the mansion were sent by the Bai family, and some were brought as dowry by Lin Shuwan. Their current meals and drinks are ordinary meat porridge and side dishes.

Although Bai Yunzhi passed the imperial examination and became the sixth-rank deputy minister of the Ministry of Works with the recommendation of Lin's father, his annual salary is 90 dan of rice, plus 5300 copper coins for miscellaneous expenses every month.

If there were no other income, the Bai family would have a hard time supporting themselves with Bai Yunzhi's salary alone.

Now that Lin Shuwan's dowry has been added, the Bai family can have meat porridge for breakfast. But now Lin Shuwan is here for revenge, so naturally he won't just use his dowry to subsidize the Bai family.

After breakfast, Bai's mother handed the key and account book of the household to Lin Shuwan. She held Lin Shuwan's hand, smiled kindly, and said:

"Shuwan, I've been thinking about you day and night. Now you're finally married! I can now hand over the burden of the family to you. You must help Yunzhi and our Bai family and take good care of the business!"

Lin Shuwan took the tray and turned to let the maid take it. She smiled gently, reached out and held Bai's mother's rough hands, and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will manage and take care of our Bai family well!"

After a brief greeting, Lin Shuwan and Bai Yunzhi said goodbye and went back to the yard.

When they were halfway there, Yuanniang hurried over and looked at Bai Yunzhi with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, have you really forgotten our friendship?"

Bai Yunzhi's face changed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Shuwan took the lead and said softly, "Sister, now I am Mrs. Bai. I hope you will not embarrass your husband again."

The cousin blushed with anger and was about to retort, but Bai Yunzhi frowned and said coldly: "Cousin, please be aware of your identity."

My cousin ran away feeling aggrieved.

On the way back, Bai Yunzhi looked at Lin Shuwan with complicated eyes: "Madam is really smart."

Lin Shuwan pursed her lips and smiled: "Since my husband has married me, I naturally have to help him share his worries."

Bai Yunzhi's heart moved, and looking at her pretty appearance, he was a little dazed for a moment.

Lin Shuwan raised his foot and continued to move forward. Bai Yunzhi came back to his senses, lowered his eyes, and followed him. The two of them remained silent on the way.

They walked straight into Wanfeng Courtyard where Lin Shuwan lived. Bai Yunzhi sat at the table and took Lin Shuwan's hand to sit down. The servants brought over tea, fruits and snacks.

Bai Yunzhi dismissed the servants, took Lin Shuwan's hand, and said softly:

"Wan'er, Yuanniang lost her parents when she was young, and she has been living in my house since she was less than one year old. I am five years older than her, so I raised her by myself. I have always treated her as my sister. If Yuanniang has offended you with her words, you can tell me and I will handle it properly!"

Lin Shuwan smiled slightly, "My husband, don't worry, I know everything! You mentioned these things when you came to discuss marriage with me, I remember them all! But now Yuanniang will be coming of age next year, her marriage should also be put on the agenda!"

"Does my cousin need my mother's help in choosing a marriage? What does your husband think?"

A faint light flashed in Bai Yunzhi's eyes, and he couldn't help but hold Lin Shuwan's hand tightly. Only when he saw Lin Shuwan frowned slightly did he let go.

Bai Yunzhi picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "Madam, my cousin is still young, and her marriage is handled by my mother, so I'd better not bother my mother-in-law for now!"

Lin Shuwan snorted in her heart, and said calmly, "If that's the case, then I'll do as my husband says. But my cousin Yuanniang has special feelings for me, and if things go on like this, I'm afraid there will be more trouble. My husband should keep some distance from her, so as not to cause gossip and hurt my cousin's feelings."

Bai Yunzhi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Madam, what you said makes sense. I will pay attention to it."

Bai Yunzhi held Lin Shuwan's hand again, looking at her with deep eyes, as if there was a strong affection in his eyes, and said:

"That day I went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, but I encountered robbers, lost my money, and caught typhoid fever. If you hadn't saved me, I would have died on the road!"

"From the day I first met you, I fell in love with you at first sight. I worked hard to pass the imperial examination and improve my family status so that I could be worthy of you! Now my wish has come true, and I am so happy!"

Lin Shuwan let Bai Yunzhi hold her hand and express his love to her, and she responded from time to time. From a distance, it seemed that the two of them got along very harmoniously and were very affectionate.

After lunch, Bai Yunzhi went to the study, and Lin Shuwan returned to his room and began to deal with the household affairs of the Bai Mansion.

There were not many people in the Bai Mansion and the affairs were simple. Lin Shuwan flipped through the account book, allocated the food and drink expenses for each courtyard, and arranged for the servants of the Bai Mansion to come for the meeting.

Every servant got a small salary increase, all from Lin Shuwan's dowry. She wanted to keep these servants firmly in her hands.

In the study room.

Bai Yunzhi sat at the desk reading a book.

Yuanniang brought the maid to the door of the study. She took the tray from the maid and walked into the study. Seeing the handsome Bai Yunzhi, she couldn't help but tears up and called out softly, "Cousin..."

Bai Yunzhi put down the book in his hand, saw the tears in Yuanniang's eyes, sighed in his heart, stood up, closed the door of the study, took Yuanniang's tray and put it on the table.

Yuanniang threw herself into Bai Yunzhi's arms, tears streaming down her face, wetting Bai Yunzhi's clothes. She cried beautifully, and her pitiful look made Bai Yunzhi a little dazed, and Lin Shuwan's bright and smiling face flashed through his mind.

Bai Yunzhi reached out and gently patted her back, soothing her softly, "Yuan Niang, be good, don't cry, or you won't look good!"

Yuanniang hugged Bai Yunzhi's waist tightly and buried her head in his arms. She smelled a strange fragrance from his arms.

She knew it was from Lin Shuwan!

Yuanniang felt even more bitter. On the one hand, she was jealous that Lin Shuwan got Bai Yunzhi, and on the other hand, she was worried that she would lose Bai Yunzhi from then on.

"Cousin, I'm jealous of her! I'm obviously your bride, why should she snatch you away! Woohoo... Cousin, if you don't mind you being with her, wait until next year when I'm a 15-year-old, I'll give birth to a child for you, okay? Cousin, wait for me, don't fall in love with her, okay?"

Yuanniang faced the powerful, beautiful and wealthy Lin Shuwan. She was just an orphan cousin living in the Bai family and could not compare with Lin Shuwan at all. The strong sense of unease made her want to keep Bai Yunzhi firmly in her hands.

She couldn't help but hate herself for being too young and not being able to become Bai Yunzhi's woman earlier, allowing Lin Shuwan to take advantage of her!

Bai Yunzhi listened to Yuanniang's words and sighed deeply in his heart. He felt pity for his cousin from the Bai family, but he also knew that the most important thing now was his own career. As for other children's love, he had already made up his mind, but he could only let his cousin down for now!

He stretched out his hand to hold Yuanniang tightly, gently rubbed her head with his chin, and said seriously:

"Yuan Niang, I know your feelings. But now that Lin Shuwan and I are married, the Lin family will help my career, so our affairs can only be put on hold for the time being. Don't worry, when I have power in my hands, I will definitely not let you down! Wait for me, okay?"

After hearing this, Yuanniang's anxiety dissipated a lot. She raised her head, looked at Bai Yunzhi with tears in her eyes, and said with a sob: "Cousin, can you kiss me? Let me see how much you value me!"

Bai Yunzhi looked down at Yuan Niang. The girl's eyes were full of him. He reached out and pinched her chin, lowered his head slightly and moved closer. Just as he was about to kiss her, Lin Shuwan's passionate eyes last night flashed through his mind, and he suddenly stopped.

He felt flustered, as if he was hit by something, and ultimately failed to kiss her.

He let go of Yuanniang and said softly, "Yuanniang, don't be so willful anymore."

Yuanniang's eyes were full of disappointment, tears fell down in big drops, she turned around and ran out crying.

Bai Yunzhi looked at her departing back, feeling mixed emotions.

At this time, Father Bai was standing at the door, looking at Bai Yunzhi's sad face, and sighed.

He walked into the study, closed the door, and said to Bai Yunzhi:

"The most important thing for you is to get more help from the Lin family. Don't indulge in love affairs. When you have enough power, do you want anything?"

"My father is right!" Bai Yunzhi took a deep breath, suppressed his anxious and depressed mood, and his face returned to its calm state.

On the other side, Lin Shuwan had finished dealing with household affairs and was preparing to take a nap.

At this time, a maid came running over in a hurry and whispered something in her ear.

Lin Shuwan raised a cold smile and went to the garden with a few trusted maids. From a distance, he saw Yuanniang crying in the pavilion, and the maids were helpless to comfort her.

Lin Shuwan deliberately walked closer with noisy footsteps, and Yuanniang stopped crying.

Lin Shuwan pretended to be surprised and asked, "What happened to my cousin?"

When Yuanniang saw Lin Shuwan, she stopped crying and glared at him fiercely: "Don't be too proud! My cousin will be mine sooner or later! The friendship between my cousin and I since childhood is not something that an outsider like you can interfere with!"

Yuanniang said this angrily, then turned around and ran away with her maid.
