I Conquer the World For My Duke - C100
With these words, the hall instantly fell silent.
Madame Hee’s expression suddenly became extremely unsightly.
As for Bai Yinan, who was stuck between his own mother and daughter, he was even more embarrassed.
Only Feng Linyuan did not seem to be aware of it, and continued, “For a lady with such a pure character, virtuous, dignified, and exceptional talent and looks like Zheng, there is not a single word he says compared to his looks … Oh, I see! ”
Saying that, Feng Linyuan patted his head as if he had suddenly realized something.
“It’s not because of the old lady’s age, but it can’t be blamed on the old lady. Zheng has never been raised under the old lady’s knee, and even more so, has not seen much of the branch family ever since, and the old lady did not understand Zheng’s character and talent, which is also understandable …”
These words caused Madame Hee’s face to almost split apart.
There were a total of three young ladies in the Bai Family generation. Bai Sheng and Bai Di had both grown up beside Madame Hee, but unfortunately, Bai Zheng had not been raised under her tutelage.
Wasn’t this clearly saying that the Madame Hee had ignored Bai Zheng, and looked down upon the granddaughter of her second son and second son?
Everyone looked at each other, speechless.
Bai Zheng resisted her laughter, coughed a little, and spoke up at the right time: “Master Hou misunderstood Grandmother. Although Zheng has never been raised under a grandmother’s tutelage, a grandmother’s love for Zheng has never been less than that of her two cousins. ”
His dignified and proper words instantly saved Madame Hee’s face.
Wen King’s Concubine and Old Mistress Zhou nodded secretly.
Feng Linyuan smiled as he looked at Bai Zheng, and Bai Zheng raised her head to look back at him.
As their gazes met, a light flashed across Bai Zheng’s eyes.
The smile on Feng Linyuan’s face grew wider, and he bowed deeply towards Madame Hee: “Zheng is right, junior is being rude. Zheng and the two young misses are the same, they are both the madame’s direct granddaughters, the back of their palms are all flesh, I think the old lady will be in pain just like the others. ”
When he said these words, the Madame Hee’s expression eased, but it was still a little difficult to calm down in the end. He coldly said: “This old one knows that Master Hou’s birth mother left early, so it is inevitable that I lack manners to speak. This old one will naturally not argue with Master Hou.”
Hearing this, the Wen King frowned and was about to speak, but did not seem angry at all, instead he replied with a respectful and grateful expression.
“The madame said that my mother left early, and my father has always been a straightforward person. He has never gone through all these twists and turns, to the point where I don’t understand the madame’s intentions. It is truly my fault.”
At the end of the day, the old lady only wanted to make use of these words to add dowry for Zheng, so that she would be able to stand up against all these betrothal gifts.
Madame Hee was about to habitually nod his head, but when his head stopped in the air and she heard the meaning behind her words, her eyes suddenly opened wide. She pointed at Feng Linyuan in surprise and anger.
Feng Linyuan’s words were suppressed first, then raised Madame Hee to the point of giving him a dowry. It was only because of this that Madame Hee himself agreed to the words “all of her granddaughters are in pain”.
Bai Zheng curled her lips, shyly lowered her head, and acted like a spoiled child as she replied, “Grandmother, Grandmother actually dotes on Zheng so much …”
The Concubine of the Wen King looked at Feng Linyuan and then looked at Madame Hee. He finally understood and pointed at Bai Zheng while laughing, “Silly girl, who doesn’t love their granddaughter? “Grandmother, you truly love me from the bottom of your heart.”
Old Mistress Zhou smiled and added, “That’s right, I don’t have a granddaughter. If I had, I would rather give her all my private rooms.”
Hearing these words, Madame Hee’s stiff face could not help but break out into a smile, as she nodded her head repeatedly.
However, no one knew that at this moment, the palm she was hiding in her sleeve had already been pinched so hard that it was bleeding.
What could she say now?
If only he had known earlier, his words would not only make Bai Zheng bleed to add dowry, but would also make his words come to the same level as the long dowry list that Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis had given him.
She would rather keep her mouth shut and never speak!
“Ayuan, look at his Bai Mansion, everyone in the entire residence thinks of him as an eyesore. In the future, you must not bully him, or else, be careful of old lady Bai’s crutch or else it will pick you up first!” Wen King laughed and said.
Feng Linyuan immediately bowed and replied: “Junior will definitely protect Zheng well.”
“I think that Ayuan also loves Third Miss from the bottom of his heart. In the future, the couple will definitely have a peaceful time together. There’s no need for you, old man, to worry about it. ” The Wen King’s Concubine laughed.
The atmosphere in the hall became lively again as everyone surrounded Feng Linyuan and Bai Zheng to praise them once more.
Madame Hee kept her mouth shut and occasionally pulled out a smile to nod in response, not saying much more.
Without the Madame Hee messing things up, the atmosphere in the hall became even more lively. Even the Madame Lin had recovered her smile and was happily chatting with the other wives.
In the midst of peace, Bai Fu’s expression suddenly became flustered and he walked in: “Old master, the Xiliang Decedent is outside requesting an audience.”
A Xuanning King of the Xiliang?
Zhuo Yi!
Hearing this name, Bai Zheng suddenly raised her head.
Isn’t that the Xiliang warrior who caused the death of Senior Marquis in the battle between the two Senior Marquis s seven years ago?
Bai Zheng quickly glanced at Feng Linyuan.
However, Feng Linyuan was extremely calm. When he felt Bai Zheng’s gaze, he returned her gaze with a gentle smile.
Seeing this, Bai Zheng knew that Feng Linyuan had probably long since known of the news that Zhuo Yi’s son had come to the Yongding City, and only then was his heart at ease.
Bai Yinan slowly stood up. “The of the Xiliang? What is he doing? ”
The hall quietened down immediately as Bai Fu reported, “They say that they heard that Dingyuan Marquis requested to marry a today and they have come to deliver their gifts to congratulate you.”
Bai Yinan frowned: “My Bai Mansion and this Xuanning King are not friends at all, why would I present a gift for no reason?”
Bai Fu replied: “Then Decedent said that this gift was given to the future Wife of Dingyuan Marquis by the Xiliang, that’s why she specially came to visit us.”
Hearing this, Bai Yinan looked at Feng Linyuan for help.
Feng Linyuan’s face was calm as he nodded his head.
Bai Yinan calmed himself down and said to the Madame Lin: “Bring mother and the various wives to the backyard to rest, you must be there to receive them, don’t be disrespectful.”
Madame Lin nodded her head repeatedly as she helped Madame Hee up. She led the Wen King’s Concubine, Old Madam Zhou and the various wives to the backyard.
Bai Zheng watched as they left, then turned around and stood behind Bai Yinan.
Feng Linyuan walked over to her side and gave her a calm look. Bai Zheng nodded.
When the Wen King at the side saw this, he immediately laughed: “Don’t worry, that will definitely not make things difficult for a little girl.”
“Even if he wanted to, his father wouldn’t be able to do so!” Old Duke Zhou laughed as he stroked his beard. “Don’t worry, lass. We’ll all accompany you.”
