A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times-Chapter 41: I can’t even kiss.

The Bai family.

Lady Bai was elegantly drinking tea under the octagonal pavilion in the backyard garden.

Meanwhile, Second Aunt and Bai Yunxin were kneeling in front of her.

"A woman's chastity is so important. How could you have lost your chastity before getting married? This is truly disgraceful to the reputation of the Bai family!"

Bai Yunxin sobbed at this time, "Mother, Wenxuan and I are in love, he will marry me!"

"Don't call me mother! I'm not your mother!" Lady Bai said sharply, slamming her teacup fiercely on the table, splashing tea everywhere.

"Only Han has the right to call me mother!"

"Madam, what do you mean by this? Yunxin is still the Old Master's daughter. How can calling you mother be wrong?" Although Second Aunt was unhappy inside, she didn't dare confront Lady Bai directly.

"Second Aunt, let's talk about it. Wasn't the Old Master's death facilitated by you?" Lady Bai said unhurriedly. "Shouldn't you...go down and accompany your Old Master?"

Second Aunt shuddered in fear upon hearing Lady Bai's words. She felt as if Lady Bai had become a different person after the Old Master was buried. She was strangely frightening.

"Madam...I was tricked by Third Aunt. I didn't know!"

"Second Aunt, if you know what's good for you, take Yunxin with you to Jing'an Temple!"

As soon as Second Aunt heard Lady Bai wanted her to go to Jing'an Temple, she immediately knelt down and grabbed Lady Bai's skirt.

"No, Madam, don't drive me out of the Bai family!"

Second Aunt knew her life would be over if she left the Bai family.

"What do you mean by this?" Bai Yunxin had now stopped crying. She was no longer pitiful but angry. "On what grounds can you banish my mother from the Bai family?!"

"On what grounds?" Lady Bai laughed. "Because I'm now the one in charge of the Bai family! I've tolerated you mother and daughter long enough!"

"You..." Bai Yunxin hadn't expected such blunt words from Lady Bai either.

"Bai Yunxin, you lost your chastity before marriage, disgracing our reputation. I want you and your mother to reflect on your actions at Jing'an Temple. Do you have a problem with that?"

Bai Yunxin stood up. "I won't go to Jing'an Temple! Wenxuan will marry me!"

"Marry you? That playboy Li Wenxuan? And you think he would marry you?" Lady Bai sneered.

"Alright then. Come back in two days. If Li Wenxuan comes personally to propose to you, I'll give you a chance to marry into the Li family. But if not, you and your mother can spend the rest of your lives at Jing'an Temple!"

Bai Yunxin glared fiercely at Lady Bai and pulled Second Aunt up. "Mother, don't kneel to her anymore. Once I marry into the Li family, I will take good care of you!"

The two left the pavilion. The hatred in Lady Bai's eyes still had not faded.

Just then, Wang Fu came into the backyard garden, and happened to run into Second Aunt and Bai Yunxin as they were leaving.

Wang Fu looked at them but did not even greet them as he passed.

"Hmph! Just relying on others' power!" Bai Yunxin muttered.

Wang Fu reached the octagonal pavilion where Lady Bai immediately asked, "Have they left Wenxuan Pavilion?"

"They've left."

"Where did they go?"

"To a garden at the Li residence. Also...Bai Yichen has returned and seems to be following them!"

Lady Bai furrowed her brows. "Bai Yichen is back? I thought he left Lan City after obtaining the treasure map?"

"It seems to be...because of that girl called Su Mo!"

Lady Bai paused for a moment. "Just what kind of identities do that Bai Yichen and Third Aunt have?"

"Madam, no matter what their background is, as long as they don't come back to the Bai family, they pose no threat to us."

"You're right..." Lady Bai sipped her tea. "How has Han been lately?"

"The young master has been diligently learning business lately and has proposed some new ideas. More merchants have come to deposit money at the Bai Bank."

"Good. I had the matchmaker look for a few young ladies for Han. When he gets back, have him take a look at them and get married and have children soon after the 100 day mourning period."

"Yes, madam."

...On the other side, the four sisters had just moved into their new home and went out shopping on the streets for some things.

With Wu Ying's silver notes, they could buy whatever they wanted!

As Sang Lan said, "Money isn't saved but earned!"

Although so far they had not yet earned any money....

Su Mo went out into the streets with Wu Ying and before long dragged him off somewhere.

Su Mo pulled Wu Ying to a clothing shop. She wanted to buy him a few outfits.

"Wu Ying, you shouldn't keep wearing black all the time! You looked really good wearing white clothes at the Splendor Tower last time!" Su Mo went up and picked out a white robe for him.

Wu Ying frowned. He was an assassin. Wearing white really didn't suit him.

Because blood stains showed up too clearly on white.

But seeing Su Mo pick it out so earnestly, he couldn't bear to refuse.

And so, the originally murderous-looking Wu Ying was transformed by Su Mo into a gallant swordsman in white.

Su Mo looked him up and down. "Not bad. Very sunny and handsome. It's just...your mask doesn't quite match. Why don't you stop wearing your mask?"

"..." Wu Ying glanced at her. "Without my mask, you would be repulsed by me."

"What about you could I find repulsive?"

"That I'm ugly."

"Pfft..." Su Mo couldn't help but laugh. "It's not like I haven't seen you without your mask on!"

Wu Ying didn't respond. He didn't want to wear his mask either. He wanted to face her as his true self too.

But...he didn't want her to see the mark on his face.

Seeing that he wasn't answering, Su Mo hurriedly took his hand. "Alright, if you don't want to, I won't force you. I'll ask Xiao Han later and see if she can remove the mark on your face!"

Wu Ying stared at her. "You care a lot about this?"

"What do I care about? I just see you seem to care a lot yourself! Your mask covers half your face after all." Su Mo leaned in by his ear and whispered, "It makes it inconvenient when I want to kiss you..."

Wu Ying felt his ears burn hot at her closeness. Knowing she always spoke directly, he grabbed her hand and looked earnestly into her eyes.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

Su Mo was stirred by his serious look. She couldn't help standing on her tiptoes and kissing his chin.

Wu Ying froze.

The old shop owner also froze, staring at them in shock.

Wu Ying turned his head and gave the owner an extremely cold look, scaring him into immediately covering his eyes and turning away. He felt that if he looked a second longer, this man would kill him with one stroke of the sword!

It was a while before Su Mo and Wu Ying left the clothing store.

Outside, the blazing sun hung high in the sky. The heat was smothering her!

She looked down at her long gown and long sleeves, and felt wearing something more modern for summer was necessary. Otherwise how would she get through this heat, dressed like this without even air conditioning!

Su Mo sized up Wu Ying and discovered he didn't seem to be sweating at all.

"Aren't you hot?" Su Mo asked, puzzled. "I'm about to die from the heat!"

As Su Mo spoke, she started rolling up her sleeves. Wu Ying immediately grabbed her hand and pulled the sleeves back down when her forearms were exposed.

"Don't reveal any skin!" Wu Ying said sternly.
