Chapter 435: What Else Could I Do?

Bai Ze frowned. He could not forgive Cui Ruyu.
However, he wanted to know why Cui Cheng betrayed his father.
“Why would Cui Cheng betray the Bai family? What does he want? He harmed the Bai family. He even abandoned his identity as a respected general. The Bai family has never mistreated him.”
Back then, the Bai family was the number one aristocratic family. Other than power, they also had unparalleled wealth.
It was rumored that the Bai family had a few private mines and many unknown treasuries.
The Bai family’s wealth even exceeded that of the royal families of the five countries.
The East Continent’s army’s rations were all paid by the Bai Family.
And these were not rumors.
The Bai family was indeed very rich!
These were all the wealth left behind by their mother.
Bai Xiao never mistreated his brothers, so the Cui family was not short of money back then.
It was impossible for Cui Cheng to betray the Bai family for the sake of wealth.
Bai Ze couldn’t understand.
Cui Ruyu said with a pale face, “My father… Cui Cheng didn’t do it for money. He was jealous and hateful. He had fallen in love with Madam Bai. He was jealous that General Bai Xiao could be with Madam Bai, so he did that. There were many portraits of Madam Bai hidden in his study..
They had thought of all kinds of reasons, but they did not expect it to be because of this.
“He’s a despicable person! He’s not worthy of thinking about my mother!’
“Shut up. Don’t tarnish my mother’s reputation.”
This reason made Bai Wan and Bai Ze even angrier.
Yun Ran was wrapped in a large cloak at the side. She was held in MO Beiyuan’s arms, so she simply leaned into his arms to watch the commotion.
Seeing that Bai Wan and Bai Ze had almost finished asking about the matter, she slowly said, “Do you dare to say that the Bai family’s matter has nothing to do with you? Did you not have any special deal with the emperor? As soon as something happened to the Bai family, you changed your name and entered the emperor’s harem. Could it be that the emperor really liked your face back then?”
The wretched emperor was lecherous. It wasn’t as if Yun Ran hadn’t seen the other concubines in his harem before. All of them were quite beautiful.
However, Cui Ruyu looked too ordinary. If not for some unspeakable reason, why would the emperor spend so much effort to bring her into the palace?
Only then did Cui Ruyu notice that two people had walked out of the darkness.
The woman was petite while the man was tall.
Soon, Cui Ruyu recognized the man from his ghostly eyes.
“Yuan, Yuan King!’
Even if she was not favored in the harem, she had heard rumors about the Yuan King MO Beiyuan.
This woman should be the vixen who seduced the Yuan King, MO Beiyuan.
Cui Ruyu did not understand why the Bai siblings were with the Yuan King and the vixen.
Things seemed to be more complicated than she had imagined.
Could it be that the rumor that the Yuan King harmed the Emperor was true?
It was just that the Yuan King and the Bai siblings had joined forces to harm the emperor.
Now, she could not admit that she had something to do with the Bai family.
“Brother Bai Ze, I didn’t. I really didn’t. I knew since I was young that I was going to marry you when I grew up. How could I betray you? I was forced to enter the palace.”
Yun Ran clicked her tongue. “That’s not the information the Yuan Mansion found. After fighting for the emperor’s favor and losing, you did everything you could to attract the emperor’s attention. You must have been forced and desperate!’
Cui Ruyu’s face was pale and unsightly. She had never thought that there would still be people alive in the Bai family who would look for her to seek revenge.
But there was no evidence to prove her innocence.
She could only raise her hand and gently wipe the corners of her eyes. “I’m a weak woman. I’ve already been forced to lose my innocence. What else could I do? Of course, I can only rely on fighting for favor in this ruthless harem to survive.”
“Do you think I did it voluntarily? But tell me, if I didn’t do this, what else could I do?”
