Chapter 18 Meeting Bai Yihao for the First Time (2/2)
Would a person like this really be as innocent as slow and be like a n.o.ble deity that walks in the night?
”Grandmother, you're looking down on your grandson. Even though I'm not the greatest scholar of my time, but I'm still a scholar. I met His Highness a month ago and you were feeling poorly then. I also heard that younger sister Tong would be coming today, so I invited him to take a look at you two.” Luo Wenyou said that lightly with a smile.
Mo Xuetong knew that things were not so simple. Even though Bai Yihao was known to be laid-back and gentle, he did not make friends easily. Because of his n.o.ble status, he never bent backward for power. He was also handsome and it was hard for a regular person to get to know him well. It was rumored that his medicinal skills were very advanced and he had once brought the dying Empress Dowager back from the brink of death.
Three years ago, the Empress Dowager had fallen seriously ill and no doctors could cure her. Bai Yihao, who had just arrived in the Qin Kingdom had not even had time to change before he entered the room in a flurry of white to cure the dying Empress Dowager. This incident had caused a furore in the Qin Kingdom and Bai Yihao's handsome appearance had resulted in many looking at him in awe.
After that, Bai Yihao dedicated himself to nature and no longer cared about matters of the world. He rarely interacted with n.o.bility and instead, interacted with scholars, and was praised for it. He became the idol of many young girls. He once traveled down a street and many girls came up to him with flowers, causing a commotion.
How could Luo Mingzhu not be excited when such an interesting character was coming to the manor?
”Then why have you not invited him?” Old Madam Xu was growing anxious as well. She was afraid of offending him!
The two maids backed away and pulled up the door curtains with excitement. Luo Wenyou went out to invite the man in personally. Mi Xuetong, however, hid behind the screen with the reluctant Luo Mingzhu.
The maids had already laid down the brocade stool for them. They had just taken a seat when they heard a voice coming from the outside. A clear and mellow voice came slowly from the door. His voice was enough to make a person drunk even before meeting him.
Through the plain colored screen made of gauze, Mo Xuetong first saw her eldest cousin walking in. He moved out of the way and a handsome young man appeared behind him like a colorful ray of light. The room, which had been noisy earlier, fell silent.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, the boy's beauty could not be described in words. Even Mo Xuetong, whose heart had been jaded, could not help but beat faster. Most importantly, there was a mysterious quality of carefreeness in his eyes that matched his white clothes. They were both pure white, like the ice and snow on top of Tianshan Mountain and reflected the brilliance of stars and moons.
Such as a fallen fairy, the young man was as beautiful as a piece of jade. His beauty was beyond imagination.
Outside, Bai Yihao greeted the old madam with gentleness and elegance, without formality. He put his fingers on the old madam's wrist, closed his eyes and diagnosed her. He did not say much as he sat to the side and wrote a prescription.
”Miss, Old Madam is asking you to go out.” A maid went behind the screen, pa.s.sing on a message from the old madam.
On the other side, Luo Mingzhu looked at her pleadingly. She pointed outside and indicated that she would like to go out as well. It was a rare opportunity to have a close look at this world-famous handsome man. Luo Mingzhu had long wanted to go out but she was imprisoned by the old madam and felt aggrieved about it. How would she give up the opportunity when Mo Xuetong was about to go out? She pulled on Mo Xuetong's sleeve and refused to let go.
She would not let Mo Xuetong go out if she could not go either!
”Could you ask Grandmother to remove the screen?” Mo Xuetong looked at the maid awkwardly, tugging on her sleeve and showing the maid.
”This...” The maid was put in a tough spot as well. She knew what her second young miss was thinking about when she saw how the young woman was holding on to Mo Xuetong. However, the n.o.ble families placed importance on separating men and women.
”Go and tell Grandmother that Sir Bai is a gentleman and is like a diety that everyone looks up to. No matter men or women, he is admired by everyone!” Mo Xuetong smiled gently and said to the helpless maid!
A smile appeared on Bai Yihao's lips as he sat on the outside prescribing medicine. He glanced at the screen and continued his work.
The maid did not know what to do. She turned around and suddenly heard the old madam say, ”Remove the screen and invite the two ladies!”
”Yes!” A few maids moved quickly to remove the screen!
