I Conquer the World For My Duke - C45
Bai Zheng squinted her eyes and was about to retreat, but suddenly her body felt lighter, and after feeling a bit of dizziness, she realised that she had left her original standing position.
Feng Linyuan let go of the hand that was holding Bai Zheng’s arm, swung his sleeves, and stood in front of Bai Zheng with her hands behind her back, separating the two Zheng Yan who still wanted to come over and grab her. Although his expression was still calm, his tone contained a hint of anger: “Miss Zheng, self-respect.”
Gaochang Marquis finally reacted, he rushed forward and grabbed Zheng Yan who was baring her fangs and brandishing her claws: “Yan, don’t be rude!”
“After hearing that Fourth Brother has set the engagement with the Miss Zheng, I have always been depressed, and am still thinking that having a virtuous wife to manage my worthless Fourth Brother is also a good thing, but today, I have finally witnessed the techniques of a master in the Miss Zheng, and I have truly gained a new level of respect for him!”
When Feng Jingye stepped into the room, it was obvious that he had witnessed the entire process just now.
“Second Elder Brother, you don’t understand. Men like us, who are blind, naturally rely on the Miss Zheng to give us pointers.” Feng Jingyi laughed coldly as he walked into the hall.
Everyone in the room looked coldly at Zheng Yan who was being held tightly by the Gaochang Marquis, while her mouth was still filled with curses.
“You shameless bastard!” Any unconventional man would hook up with her! You really are a man of your word! “Sly fox, how shameless. If you don’t have a man for a day, your whole body will feel uncomfortable …”
could not help but frown as obscenities continuously spouted out of his mouth.
“Enough!” Eldest Princess Pingyang’s face turned pale as he stood up. As expected of someone who grew up deep in the palace, she almost immediately made his decision, walked up to Zheng Yan quickly, and gave him a fierce slap.
“Pah!”
Zheng Yan instantly quietened down and stared at her mother with wide eyes.
“Damned girl, hurry up and shut up. Apologize to Third Miss of Bai Family!”
Unknowingly, Bai Zheng subconsciously turned his head to look at Bai Di and Su Muxiao. Bai Di’s head was lowered, and the expression on her face couldn’t be seen. However, an excited light flashed past Su Muxiao’s eyes.
Bai Zheng frowned. If’s unusual behavior before was to arouse Zheng Yan’s disgust towards her, then now that Zheng Yan had received punishment from the Eldest Princess Pingyang, how could she possibly be happy about it?
No, something must be wrong.
“Mother! You actually dared to hit me for the sake of such a despicable and forceful beating! ” Zheng Yan’s tears immediately gushed out, and shouted out.
Feng Jingxuan’s face was already incomparably cold. Suppressing the impatience in his eyes, he spoke word by word: “Miss Zheng, very good. Mansion of Gaochang Marquis is truly a good home tutor! ”
Eldest Princess Pingyang shivered, then shouted: “Still spouting nonsense here! Kneel down! ”
Zheng Yan had never suffered like this before. She stared at her mother in disbelief.
“Please calm your anger Eldest Princess, Miss Zheng only messed up when her feelings were deep for her cousin. Zheng has always been magnanimous, she will not take this matter to heart.”
In the silence of the courtyard, Bai Di spoke unhurriedly.
Bai Zheng raised her eyebrows. This Bai Di, was not so good a person.
However, even though Zheng Yan scolded her a few times, she did not actually injure herself in the end. Instead, the other party’s face was slapped so hard by Eldest Princess Pingyang that a clear fingerprint surfaced on it.
Especially since what happened today was extremely obvious, Bai Di and Feng Jingyang were the culprits, and this Zheng Yan had only been tricked.
Thinking about that, Bai Zheng nodded her head and replied: “Eldest Princess, Zheng is fine.”
“There’s no need for you to pretend!” Zheng Yan shouted angrily.
Feng Jingye’s voice was ice-cold, “If it were not for Marquis Dingyuan’s protection, Miss Bai would probably have lost her face, so how can we choose to get married? With such a wife, and how can my family be at peace in the future, this crown prince should still report today’s matter to the Royal Father, and ask him to reconsider fourth brother’s marriage! ”
“Second Elder Brother is right, we are not good enough for him.” Feng Jingyi said leisurely.
Hearing that there was a change in the marriage with Feng Jingyang, Zheng Yan’s face immediately turned pale white.
Gaochang Marquis’s and Eldest Princess Pingyang’s expression changed greatly as he let go of Zheng Yan and scolded him furiously: “Hurry up and beg Third Miss of Bai Family for forgiveness. Let her forgive you so that your highnesses will calm their anger.”
Zheng Yan turned his head stiffly, only to see Feng Jingyang turn his head to look at him, unable to see the expression on his face. Tears welled up in her eyes again, and her face was full of humiliation, anger, and uneasiness.
Feng Jingye did not speak, but he did not refute either, as though he was confirming what the Gaochang Marquis said.
Zheng Yan clenched her teeth, she looked around at the people who were staring at her coldly, and slowly walked to Bai Zheng, step by step. The muscles on her face were all trembling, but she could not even open her mouth.
Bai Zheng also did not say a word, and silently looked at Zheng Yan who was in front of him.
Although this girl was willful and unreasonable, she was actually infatuated with Feng Jingyang. Yet today, she was being used by Feng Jingyang in such a way …
Bai Zheng squinted her eyes. She wanted to see what kind of medicine Bai Di and Feng Jingyang were trying to pull Zheng Yan into the water today!
Feng Linyuan’s eyes were calm, and did not contain any emotion as he looked at Zheng Yan, standing to the side with his straight body, as though he was still protecting Bai Zheng, in case Zheng Yan suddenly took action.
Zheng Yan only felt that it was a great humiliation. She once again turned around and looked at her parents for help. Usually, no matter how arrogant or willful she was, she would protect her parents.
Zheng Yan turned around, gritting her teeth. Finally, she walked forward, bent her knees, and said softly, “Third Miss, please forgive me.”
A pair of slender hands extended out, stopping Zheng Yan’s movements.
Bai Zheng’s delicate and pretty face did not contain the slightest bit of emotion as she replied, “Miss Zheng, no need to be so courteous, I’m fine.”
Zheng Yan pursed her lips and stood up.
“Miss Zheng and Your Highness were created by the heavens, and no one can separate from them.” Bai Zheng slowly said.
Zheng Yan suddenly raised her head.
“Bai Zheng sincerely wishes the two of you an early marriage.
“Yan, quickly thank Third Miss for your magnanimity.” The Eldest Princess Pingyang replied hurriedly.
The meaning in Bai Zheng’s words was very obvious, she would not ruin the marriage between Zheng Yan and Feng Jingyang just because of what had happened today.
Zheng Yan’s expression was complex. She lowered her head and said softly: “Thank you, Third Miss.”
“Prince.” Seeing that Zheng Yan had finally stopped, the Gaochang Marquis and the Gaochang Marquis looked at each other, then cupped their hands at Feng Jingye: “My goddaughter was not kind, today I have offended all of you, Your Highness and the Third Miss, so I apologize on Yan’s behalf.”
“Forget it.” Gaochang Marquis did not have the heart to teach Miss Zheng today because of his marriage. This matter cannot be blamed on Gaochang Marquis. ” Feng Jingye said indifferently.
The Eldest Princess Pingyang immediately said: “Now that all the Princes are here, let us begin the marriage banquet without delay?”
Seeing Feng Jingye nod his head, Feng Linyuan’s expression was calm, Feng Jingxuan and Feng Jingyi both did not say anything, while Eldest Princess Pingyang smiled, and extended a hand out: “All of you, please.”
