Old General Bai was furious when he heard this. He understood that the women in the Bai Estate were willful and spoiled, but this was beyond the limit of what he could accept.

"Before beating a dog, you have to look at its owner," Old General Bai said gloomily as he looked at the girls who were standing drenched in front of him.

"Even if you do not like this sister of yours, she is now married to Prince Yun. What you did today could have caused our General's Household to become extinct!"

The girls were unaware of what the old General meant, but the Young General understood it perfectly well.

Although Bai Rouyun was dumb, deaf, and mute, she was now untouchable. She had the support of Prince Yun, and her rank was now that of a princess.

If they, as an official's family, insulted the royal family, their days would be numbered. Even if they loyally served the Empire for many years, it would not help them if they had shown disregard towards the royal family.

While the Young and Old General were both feeling a lingering fear in their hearts, they also remembered the last words of Li Moyun. He was waiting for an explanation.

If they could not give a good explanation, they would be taken to court as someone who had attacked an imperial princess. Even if it was a small subject, as soon as it was spread, no one would favor the four women anymore, and their future marriage proposals would become difficult to gain.

"The four of you are grounded. You are not to take a single step out of your courtyards for the next three months!" Old General Bai made this decision quickly.

Although he did it so that he could appease Li Moyun, he also wanted to help the four girls. As long as enough time passed by, their loss of face would be forgotten.

Unfortunately, these four young girls saw it completely different from the Old General, and they were gritting their teeth in hatred and anger. In their minds, they were swearing at Bai Rouyun. She was such a dumb person, but it seemed even she had the inherited skills of a vixen. How else could the most wanted man in the entire Empire suddenly be so obsessed with her?

While the Old and Young Generals were busy dealing with the girls, Li Moyun was carrying Bai Rouyun, and as soon as they entered the carriage, the petite woman could not suppress her giggles any longer.

"Did you see them?" she grinned. "Soaking wet like drowned dogs. They deserved it! Planning to ruin my innocence? See how I ruin theirs!"

She was quiet for a short while before she cocked her head a little. "It is a shame that it happened in the general's estate," she continued. "If it had happened in the city, everyone would know about it, and they would have no chance of getting married in the future."

"You are a vengeful little fox," Li Moyun smiled, but there was no reproach in his voice. Instead, it was filled with warmth and indulgence.

"From what I can understand, the original Bai Rouyun has been beaten black and blue by them," she said thoughtfully. "They have been bullying her in every way possible, and now that she is dead, they will not even let her rest in peace. It is only natural that I let her soul rest peacefully."

Nodding his head in agreement, Li Moyun kept Bai Rouyun on his lap and started tidying up her clothes again.

Although she had crumbled them slightly, and even messed up her hair, it only took him a short while to fix it all.

The woman in his arms was still reveling in her success today, feeling exceptionally happy to have seen them suffer in her hands.

"If you want the entire city to know about it, why don't I help you?" Li Moyun asked suddenly. "I can help a few of the servants who saw the whole scene to suddenly remember it when they are drunk and share it with everyone else."

Bai Rouyun looked at Li Moyun astounded, but then her lip curled upwards. "So evil," she grinned, "but I like it!"

Hearing this, he was feeling that it was worth doing an extra few things for her, so he decided to have the shadow guards pay a few servants to spread the rumors.

Even if the servants were later found, they would be unable to say who the shadow guards were, so there was nothing he needed to be careful about.

And even so, if it genuinely made Bai Rouyun as happy as she was right now, then it was worth it, also if he had to take a few risks.

Bai Rouyun was unaware of Li Moyun's thoughts. All that she could think about now was to return to the Yun Palace and continue her cultivation. Although she was seemingly carefree, her premature death was weighing on her.

But even so, she had been given a second chance at life, and thus, she was not willing to let herself suffer. She had so many things she still wanted to do.

She was happy and content as she leaned against Li Moyun's sturdy chest. His steady heart beat made her feel safe, and she felt comfortable in his arms.

Although she did not know how she felt about Li Moyun, she was not at all against him. She was delighted that it was him she had met the moment she had been reborn.
