I Conquer the World For My Duke - C74
“Does Young Master Chu know who the current general of Yancheng is?”
“Bai Huan.” As the direct descendant of Mansion of Prime Minister, he naturally knew about this.
Bai Zheng laughed: “So that’s why, I really want to thank this uncle. If it wasn’t for him, how would His Majesty be so concerned about such a small Bai Zheng marriage? And where would I get such a good fiance? ”
Chu Feng’s eyebrows curved like a crescent moon in the sky. What Bai Zheng’s words meant was that he was currently being used by Feng Linche to calm the heart of the general. The reason he dared to lay his hands on her right now was because he was going against Feng Linche!
His face instantly turned pale.
Bai Zheng said unhurriedly: “Young Master Chu, I advise you to be a bit more polite to me. Right now, I am the popular person in front of His Majesty, you actually dared to snatch me away in front of everyone, aren’t you clearly giving His Majesty a slap in the face?”
“Humph, even if you are the famous person in front of His Majesty, I will do it if I do it, what’s the use of Mansion of Prime Minister!” Chu Feng’s words contained some guilt, but he still pretended to be calm.
Bai Zheng lowered her head and chuckled, “Oh Young Master Chu, all these years you’ve devoted your heart and soul to that Second Elder Sister of mine, could it be that you don’t know that Mansion of Prime Minister has been troubled internally and externally since long ago?”
Chu Feng suddenly raised his head. Seeing this, Servant Xin, who was at the side, hurriedly brought the group of homeless people to leave.
Only Chu Feng and Bai Zheng remained in the room. Bai Zheng then continued.
“Young Master Chu, how do you think this Third Prince managed to grow so strong that he could fight evenly with the Prince? Who do you think was the one to tacitly approve of the idea that Noble Consort Zhao would make a marriage for Your Highness? Do you think that Young Master Chu, your own brother, has lost his life? ”
“Bai Zheng will give you a word of advice, our Emperor is not someone whose eyes can tolerate sand! It is precisely because of this that in the recent years, the Prime Minister has become increasingly arrogant, and has repeatedly interfered with the regime of the Emperor. The Empress Chu has been supporting the Emperor in the harem, killing several of her new favorites in succession, but the Emperor was just worrying about not having the opportunity to punish the Emperor Mansion of Prime Minister. ”
“Didn’t Young Master Chu just pass a blade to His Majesty so that Mansion of Prime Minister would become the next Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis?”
“Impossible!” Chu Feng subconsciously called out.
Bai Zheng said one sentence after another, causing his entire body to tremble.
After all these years, even though his father had kept his mouth shut when he mentioned his elder brother’s death, he was still aware of it.
It was because only Chu Yu, who was the same age as Feng Linche, was left behind with only the old prime minister and Chu Feng, who was still in his infancy at the time, that Feng Linche peacefully bestowed so much honor to his Chu Family.
Those in power would always want obedient subjects, not subjects who would threaten his throne and challenge his authority.
This was true for Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis, and it was also true for Mansion of Prime Minister.
Chu Feng looked at Bai Zheng with a complicated expression: “Who told you this? If you knew earlier, why did you obediently follow me out? ”
Seeing that Chu Feng had already understood the pros and cons, a big smile blossomed on Bai Zheng’s face: Because I was supposed to go out to settle some matters. With a free car, I naturally won’t take it for free, and furthermore, if I don’t give Young Master Chu face and bring me out, how will my father go to the Mansion of Jing Zhao Yin to report this matter to the officials? How can you give me money with Mansion of Prime Minister? ”
“What money!”
Bai Zheng blinked her eyes, then suddenly revealed a cute smile: Young Master Chu, is it really that uncomfortable with my hands and feet tied up?
Chu Feng’s expression changed a few times, and became more and more gloomy.
Bai Zheng sighed, “Sigh, right now, my father has yet to report it to the Mansion of Jing Zhao Yin, so there is still time to redeem everything. But if we drag it to a new world, when father runs to the Mansion of Jing Zhao Yin, His Majesty naturally will not be able to hide it … If something happens to the Chu Family, the Prince will definitely fall, and at that time, both fame and fortune will reap from the Third Prince, and with the beauty of my Second Elder Sister in my arms, I will definitely be extremely grateful to the Young Master Chu. ”
Chu Feng was startled and stared at Bai Zheng fiercely: “What do you mean!”
“Young Master Chu, if you really want my Second Elder Sister, shouldn’t you help him down? Why do you have to keep doing things that your loved ones would love to do, and let the Third Prince take all the advantages for nothing? ” Bai Zheng grumbled.
Chu Feng’s expression was extremely ugly. Bai Zheng’s words were like a merciless slap on his face, causing him to feel a burning pain.
Before this, he had indeed never placed Bai Zheng in his eyes. Even when he went to capture her the last time, it was only to vent his anger and indignation.
As the only legitimate son of Mansion of Prime Minister, and also because of Feng Linche’s unintentional connivance, he developed a rash and reckless personality, to the point that many times he would not think too deeply about the situation. It was only because he acted recklessly due to his personality that Bai Di and Feng Jingxuan would take advantage of him many times, unaware of the fact.
When he woke up from Smokey Willow Lane yesterday, he already knew that it was Bai Zheng’s doing. That night, he sent people to rob Bai Zheng, but he did not know why that group of people was unable to approach his Bai Mansion. Since she really had no other choice, she might as well strike through the Bai Mansion in front of everyone and seize Bai Zheng. She wanted to teach him a lesson.
But Bai Zheng’s words just now had enlightened him.
Maybe, that group of people who were secretly protecting the Bai Mansion were sent by Feng Linche?
Chu Feng opened his eyes.
He could not continue like this anymore. Otherwise, his Mansion of Prime Minister was really going to end!
And for him and Bai Di, it would no longer be possible.
“Sigh, my hand is truly in pain.” Bai Zheng saw that his expression had changed, and a cold smile flashed past her face, as she pretended to exaggerate and sighed, “This bunch of people, how come they don’t know how to care for the fairer sex at all?”
Chu Feng stood in place, frozen in place.
Of course he knew what Bai Zheng meant now. This girl was clearly confident in his feelings towards Bai Di and valued Mansion of Prime Minister highly, using this to threaten him.
He knew this, but he had no choice but to accept her threats.
At this point, he only had two choices. One was to let go of Bai Zheng and send her back to the Bai Mansion; two was to let others humiliate Bai Zheng today as he wished, and he herself would have to pay a painful price for doing so.
However, would he dare to choose the second option?
Chu Feng clenched his fists tightly.
He wasn’t willing to accept this.
He pursed his lips and spoke with difficulty: “Bai Zheng, are you thinking too much? Do you really think that just based on those few words you said, I would truly believe that the Mansion of Prime Minister would annihilate our clan? ”
Hearing this sentence, Bai Zheng knew that her hands and feet would not be released in the near future, and decided to switch to a more comfortable position. With a calm and disdainful gaze, she glanced at Chu Feng, who was obviously still struggling, and spoke slowly.
“Thirty thousand gold.”
