Chapter 1057 The Reborn Young Master’s Pampered Cousin (55)

She lifted the skirt and saw the strip of cloth wrapped around Bai Weiwei’s knee.
Bai shi couldn’t help but clutch her chest. This strip of cloth was torn from Qi Chimu’s robes.
In other words, it was not only the bandits, but also Qi Chimu who had seen her daughter’s body.
Bai Weiwei, in Bai shi’s eyes, immediately went from a bright pearl to worthless goods.
With a daughter who had lost her chastity, her purity.
Remaining in the Bai family would ruin their reputation.
But seeing Bai Weiwei, her only child, there was no way she could lay a hand on her to protect the Bai family’s reputation.
Bai shi looked at Bai Weiwei’s blank expression.
Then she looked at Qi Chimu and his desperate appearance.
No matter how much she detested Qi Chimu, his deep affection, in which he’d rather die for her daughter than let other people know she was no longer pure–
–she could find a use for it.
Bai shi’s thoughts had coalesced and couldn’t be restrained.
She said to Qi Chimu, “The cloth tied around my daughter’s knees is yours?”
Qi Chimu’s body shook, and he said in a hoarse voice, “No, Weiwei has not lost her innocence, nor have I seen her body. She is still whole.”
His tone was so desperate, as though begging Bai shi to believe him and protect Bai Weiwei’s innocence.
A vicious and poisonous person like Bai shi was moved by the deep affection in his eyes.
She was a woman, after all. Women were always a bit more emotional.
Bai shi knew that Qi Chimu had lied, but she did not expose him again.
But she made another decision.
“You will marry Weiwei ba.”
This was the best solution. After all, her daughter had been ruined.
Marrying a man who liked her enough to be able to die for her was not a bad ending.
No matter how much she detested Qi Chimu, Bai shi was planning this for Bai Weiwei’s sake.
Moreover, Qi Chimu knew how willful Bai Weiwei was and still liked her to this extent.
He was the best marriage partner.
But Bai Weiwei, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately said furiously, “Mother, you want to marry me off to this scoundrel who plotted to murder me?”
Bai shi snapped, “Enough, Weiwei. Mother is doing this for your own good.”
Qi Chimu also shook his head in sorrow. “No, Weiwei is so good, I am undeserving.”
If Qi Chimu agreed right away, Bai shi would still be suspicious.
After this, there would be no doubt.
Bai shi frowned and said with a cold expression, “The wedding will be simple. Prepare in two days and immediately get married. Then we will say that you saved Weiwei, and Weiwei swore to devote her life to repay you.”
Qi Chimu said immediately, “Weiwei deserves better. As long as I die, no one will know that her purity… no, she really is pure!”
Bai Weiwei hated that she couldn’t applaud.
Although she used the same plan to save him,
letting Bai shi misunderstand that what he said was a lie and release Qi Chimu,
she pretty much didn’t have to do anything.
Qi Chimu’s splashing of dirty water was practically a drowning [1].
As expected, Bai shi was moved. She sighed. “Forget it. Marry my daughter, and I will let go of all past grievances.”
Even if Qi Chimu died, what was the use? Everyone knew Bai Weiwei had been taken by bandits.
Saying this, she disregarded Bai Weiwei’s protests and untied Qi Chimu’s ropes.
“Send the young master [2] to rest.”
This sentence acknowledged Qi Chimu’s status.
Bai Weiwei looked shocked, as though she didn’t understand the situation at all.
As Qi Chimu, supported by people, passed by her, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the cuff of her sleeve.
“Weiwei, it’s all my fault. I couldn’t protect you.”
His voice was sorrowful and unrepentantly affectionate.
But his eyes were sinister and full of laughter, making a chill run down one’s back.
Bai Weiwei was stunned and a bit scared.
