I Conquer the World For My Duke - C30
Bai Zheng lowered her head, and looked down at him without any emotion in her eyes, and coldly said: “Besmirch? Your Highness can investigate carefully when you return, and why the plague, which should have been treated by the palace the last time, got infected just because you saw Young Master Chu before you set off, causing the reputation of the Third Prince who snatched away this opportunity to rise! ”
With that, she turned back to Feng Jingye and bowed: “I’ll be troubling Your Highness with the matter of annulling the engagement, this subject will be taking his leave.”
Without waiting for Feng Jingye who had been stunned by the previous words to nod her head, Bai Zheng stood up and walked out of the room.
Outside the door, an azure-robed servant stood guard respectfully.
When the servant saw Bai Zheng coming out, he walked over and said in a low voice: “Miss Bai, the manager asked me to carry some words, my boss still has matters to take care of, he said that it’s fate that we meet again in the future.”
Bai Zheng nodded her head, she was not surprised by this result: “Thank you, Little Brother.”
At this time, a lot of people had already left’s Treasure-collecting Tower. When he reached the second floor, he discovered that Bai Yinan was standing at the stairs, waiting for her.
Seeing her come down, Bai Yinan glared at her: “Girl, you!”
Bai Zheng hurriedly hugged Bai Yinan’s arm and said fawningly: “It’s Zheng’s fault that father is worried. Daddy, don’t be angry.”
“Did you just come out from Prince?” Bai Yinan looked at her and said.
“That’s right, with so much silver in Zheng’s hands, Zheng is afraid that she would have too much trouble, so she gave it to Your Highness.” Bai Zheng laughed.
Bai Yinan nodded his head, “Today’s paper crafting probably attracted the attention of all the people in the Great Zhou. The two hundred thousand gold is nothing more than a hot potato in our hands, handing it over is good as well.”
The people on the first and second floor had basically all gone. When Bai Zheng saw that the third floor was starting to make a commotion, she hurriedly said to Bai Yinan: “Let’s go, Daddy. Zheng is already hungry.”
If she bumped into someone from General Mansion or Shang Shu Manor, and let this father, who valued family and love, know what happened just now, then she would definitely not be able to sleep well tonight.
There were still a lot of things that needed to be done. If he could have a good night’s rest, it was best not to cause any more trouble.
Under Bai Zheng’s urging, they sat in the carriage and returned to Bai Mansion.
Until the last carriage left, Treasure-collecting Tower that had been bustling for half a night returned to its former tranquility. The lanterns on both sides of the road were lit, leaving only the fifteen crescent moons to illuminate the place. It caused one to be unable to resist the feeling of desolation after the hustle and bustle.
At this time, the most lonely one was the Soong Yiqing who leaned against the window in red, and knocked on the window frame with his forehead one after another.
Feng Linyuan sat by the stove and leisurely peeled the chestnuts. The clear sound of the chestnuts breaking made the Liufeng unable to wait and started circling around his feet.
“Why didn’t you accept the twenty thousand taels!?” It’s fine if you don’t want to take it back, but you shouldn’t have let that girl off so easily! ” Soong Yiqing suddenly turned his head and complained.
Feng Linyuan smiled, picked up a chestnut and threw it over, “Who do you think you can find to extort from her the twenty thousand taels she still needs?
“You!” Soong Yiqing said angrily, “Just what kind of disaster did you save?!”
“Mistress.” Suddenly, the figure of a black clothed man appeared in the room. He knelt on the ground with a gold spindle in his hand and said, “This was sent by someone from Miss Bai.”
Soong Yiqing looked at the gold ingot and felt his heart twitch.
“Buy a cake?” Three thousand taels? Linyuan, you really saved a thousand, Jin, young miss. ”
“I want to see how she can produce three thousand silver.” That’s three thousand gold! ”
He could still hear the teasing words that he once said, but he didn’t know why the person who played the joke on him yesterday turned out to be the person who was played today.
Feng Linyuan picked up the gold ingot and said in a good mood: “This Miss Bai really has a promise.”
“Linyuan,” Soong Yiqing lifted his head, staring at the gold ingot, “Why don’t you give me these three thousand silver taels? “You also know where this money came from. Our relationship …”
“Our relationship goes from one yard to another.” Feng Linyuan coughed lightly as he lowered his head to look at the white wolf. “Liufeng, what do you say?”
The Liufeng swallowed the chestnut in its mouth, and raised its head to grin at Soong Yiqing.
Soong Yiqing picked up the chestnut from earlier and threw it towards the Liufeng: “You ungrateful bastard! I’ve fed you rabbit meat every day for free! ”
The Liufeng moaned in pain and hid behind Feng Linyuan, sticking only half of its head out.
Soong Yiqing bared his fangs at the Liufeng, then thought of something and said bitterly: “Today that girl has offended Feng Jingxuan, Feng Jingxuan will definitely not let her go.”
Feng Linyuan rubbed the head of the Liufeng soothingly but did not say a word.
However, the black clothed man interrupted and said, “The Dark Guard that Master has sent to protect Miss Bai has been placed around the Bai Mansion.”
“Feng Linyuan!” Soong Yiqing stomped his feet in anger.
Feng Linyuan looked at him coldly. “I did it to prevent you from wasting two hundred thousand silver. If she had a good thing, who would you find to learn paper making?
What he did not say was that, with just a few words from the little girl, she had stirred up Feng Jingye’s relationship with him, and even helped Feng Jingye to stand out, so Feng Jingxuan was afraid that he did not have the strength to come looking for her.
“Didn’t you already write down the production method on a piece of paper for me to use?” Soong Yiqing said, unwilling to be outdone.
“I’m afraid the recipe she gave us isn’t the best one.” Feng Linyuan smirked, “Look at the words on those books, every page is exactly the same. Obviously, she didn’t copy it with her hands.”
Hearing that, Soong Yiqing immediately opened the few books to take a closer look, the words inside were exactly the same.
The man in black opened his mouth and said, “Miss Bai had first engraved this on a piece of wooden board and printed the ink onto the book.”
Soong Yiqing took a deep breath, this little girl’s tricks were really done over and over again!
Feng Linyuan laughed and said: “This girl is extremely shrewd, I’m afraid that even these wooden carvings are deceiving others, she still hasn’t taken out a better method yet.”
Soong Yiqing looked at the book in his hand, and couldn’t help but sink into deep thought.
However, Feng Linyuan’s gaze went past Soong Yiqing and landed outside the window which was enveloped in darkness.
In this seemingly peaceful night, how many people were surging and unable to sleep for the rest of the night?
In the next three days, Bai Zheng laid in her Bai Mansion leisurely. Every day, she would either eat or sleep, and she would casually flip through all the scrolls in Bai Yinan’s study, living a life that was quite interesting.
The only flaw was the food here.
In this era, the research on food was still at a very basic stage. The dishes were boiled and steamed, and the seasonings were only a little salt. It wasn’t hard to swallow, but it was also boring.
Just as Bai Zheng was in a panic over the matter of cooking, His Majesty ordered a command that shocked the entire Great Zhou Palace.
