Pawns… right. Mengmeng noticed how everyone was so obedient to Bai Keran. She suddenly remembered what Bai Zichen said to his brother after their wedding.
"This is why I told you to always be obedient and listen to the old fox from the start. Now look at what you have gotten yourself into. You ended up marrying a dumb woman."
Now she understood what that meant but at the same time, another question popped inside her head. Why were they willing to be used by him? Unless he has something he could use… was he blackmailing them?
At the thought of blackmail, it was even harder to believe that Bai Keran was such a man. They were his own family… Why was he treating them like pawns? He looked so kind and gentle but behind that façade, who would have thought that he was actually a cruel man?
"Good thing I advised Jingye to fake your marriage certificate. We were able to do it without being caught by that crafty old snake."
