I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 279 My father’s life was in vain (page 12)

"Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived."

The banquet welcomed guests again.

Sean, who had just returned to his seat, raised his head with drunken eyes.

Bai Ye came wearing a graceful and luxurious dress.

An inexplicable light flashed in Bai You's eyes, but he still stood up to greet the other party.

"Third brother, Bai Ye took the liberty of coming here. I hope you don't mind." Bai Ye bowed gracefully.

Bai You laughed and said, "My sister came to play with me. As an elder brother, I am naturally overjoyed before it's too late."

The two of them looked friendly on the surface, but in fact, the other guests at the banquet were already muttering secretly.

As we all know, the eldest princess Bai Ye is a bargaining chip when she doesn't have powers, and several princes will also fight for her support in normal times.

Bai Ye has a good relationship with most of the royal family members, except the third prince.

I heard from some gossip that the brother and sister once had a quarrel in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and the main reason was Bai Ye's mother.

Bai Ye's mother's family has no heirs, and its huge family legacy is basically controlled by the Bai Qiangwei family, Grand Duke Wen Kun, and the driving force behind it is the third prince.

After Bai Ye awakened her powers, a princess without inheritance rights suddenly became a competitor. The first thing she did after returning to the imperial capital was to get back what belonged to her.

It is precisely because of this that the already tense relationship between the two has become even worse.

When Bai Ye wants to get back his mother's family's inheritance, there are two main obstacles, one is Grand Duke Wen Kun, and the other is the third prince.

I heard that Grand Duke Wen Cheng had not expressed his opinion for a long time, so the pressure in this regard basically came to the third prince.

Now, Bai Ye came uninvited, and he didn't know what he had in mind.

Of course, these are secret battles. On the bright side, the brother and sister naturally have a deep brother-sister relationship, even if everyone knows that their relationship is bad.

The two of them were polite to each other, and Bai Ye said hello to Kalado and the fourth prince Bai Si, and finally set his sights on Sean.

Sean's drunken eyes were dim, and he smiled politely at Bai Ye.

"So, I should call you cousin." There was nothing in Bai Ye's voice, but there was something inexplicable in the eyes he occasionally met with Sean.

"I've met Her Highness the Princess, cousin, you're polite." Sean said with a smile.

He murmured in his heart: Bai Ye came to the door by himself, you can't rely on me, godfather.

Bai Ye leaned forward slightly, and after looking around for a week, he sat directly on the empty seat next to Sean.

What signal is this sending?

Some people even thought of something deeper: Bai Ye wants to get back his mother's inheritance, but there has been no movement from the actual owner, Grand Duke Wen Cheng, for a long time... Could it be that Bai Youming took action?

Now looking at Bai Ye's attitude, is he going to join forces with the new Crown Prince?

Prince Bai Youming had agreed to support the eldest prince Bai Zhan?

Seeing Bai Ye elegantly sitting next to Xiao En, Bai You's eyes flashed with an invisible coldness, and then he smiled and sat on the other side.

At first glance, it looks like the prince and princess of the empire are drinking with Sean in the middle.

Sean, who was already the focus of the crowd, was even more eye-catching, but he just lazily leaned back on his chair and toasted to the people around him from time to time.

The two brothers and sisters beside them didn't know what they were thinking. After sitting down, they didn't talk to Sean, but each took a glass of wine and drank it slowly.

Sean, who was smiling and having an extra drink with Kara, took back his hand. Suddenly, he felt a warm breath coming from in front of his eyes.

It seems that the moonlight is blooming in front.

Sean looked around inadvertently and found that no one, whether it was Calado or the third prince, noticed it.

It seems that Bai Ye is getting better and better at developing his abilities.

He did not deliberately block it, but allowed the moonlight to bloom and approach.

The white leaf next to her took a gentle sip, but her voice rang in Sean's mind.

"How did you gain the trust of my uncle?"

Sean smiled slightly and responded in his mind: "I am handsome, charming, and suave. Isn't it normal for your uncle to like a promising young man like me?"

Probably because of the direct dialogue in his mind, Bai Ye's emotions were revealed more clearly.

She said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me?"

Sean rolled his eyes and clinked glasses with Bai You beside him: "Why should I tell you everything? You are not my wife. Do I have to inform you of anything I do?"

Bai Ye seemed to be trying his best to calm down: "Of course you and I have no such relationship, but shouldn't you inform me about this kind of thing?"

"What, please inform me that I am your cousin now?" Sean sneered.

Bai Ye's speech speed was obviously much faster: "Uncle Huang recognized you as his adopted son, right?"

She seemed to be asking for confirmation.

Xiao En became playful and said leisurely: "I'm sorry to tell you the secrets of the royal family."

"you!"

Bai Ye was angry, but he still had to smile and communicate politely with the people around him.

The blond speaker was also present today. After seeing Bai Ye, he came over and toasted politely.

After quietly exchanging glances with Bai You, the Speaker smiled and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has another brother. You must stay close to her from now on."

"Of course." Bai Ye glanced at Sean.

The Speaker continued cheerfully: "I don't usually see the Princess coming to attend banquets. It's a great honor to see her today. Hey, I heard that you seem to have known His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before?"

This was a straightforward question, not at the level of a speaker.

After Bai Ye thought about it for a moment, he realized that the Speaker was helping Bai You to silence himself and Sean.

Many things cannot be said openly. Her Royal Highness the Princess and the new Crown Prince are old acquaintances. This matter does not matter. However, once His Royal Highness joins the war of royal heirs, His Royal Highness will often represent the White House. A fateful attitude.

This is a big no-no.

Therefore, the Speaker obviously wanted to take advantage of the crowd to clear the relationship between Bai Ye and Sean.

This may seem useless, but if it comes to a public opinion war in the future, this bit of excuse may come in handy.

The Speaker, who has been struggling in the big dye vat of the Imperial Capital for many years, knows this very well, and Bai Ye also knows this very well.

After a slight hesitation, Bai Ye nodded: "I did know my cousin before, but I didn't know about it at that time. It's a pity that I didn't get close to him properly."

The Speaker looked at Sean with a smile: "This is such a pity."

He was waiting for Sean to take a stand.

Of course, in his vision, Sean could only learn to speak like Bai Ye.

Sean laughed.

The surrounding guests also smiled.

"Hiccup—" Sean hiccupped, and stretched out his hand in a drunken state.
