I Conquer the World For My Duke - C8
“When Zheng returned, she happened to be at the Bai Mansion’s gate to end the engagement. Seeing that Second Aunt was crying pitifully, she went up and comforted him a little. When Zheng saw me, she actually said ‘I …’ in front of everyone. “Tell me …”
Saying that, Bai Di’s tears fell again, looking extremely pitiful.
The Madame Hee was not moved by Bai Zheng’s return and asked anxiously, “What did she say about you in front of everyone?”
“She actually… They said that Di and the Young Master Chu were secretly accepting it! It is only because Di bewitched him that she decided to go to the Young Master Chu to end the engagement … ” Bai Di looked more and more humiliated and embarrassed, as if she was both embarrassed and annoyed.
“Zheng girl said that? It seems like there will be no future for us! ” Madame Hee’s eyes revealed a cold intent: “My daughter’s most important family name is reputation, she is quite vicious, daring to slander you like that.”
“How can Zheng say those words? If these words reach Third Prince’s ears … How could the royal family marry a woman whose reputation was tarnished!? ” Mrs Zhao panicked.
After hearing Third Prince’s name, Madame Hee frowned: “Third Prince won’t believe these nonsensical words, right?”
“Rumors are even stronger than tigers, I’m afraid that Third Prince will really dislike Di because of this …” Bai Di’s eyes were filled with tears as she said helplessly.
When the Madame Hee heard this, his gaze was like ice floating on the surface of the water, growing colder and colder. She slammed the table and said angrily, “Grandmother will not forgive her!”
“…”
The wheels rolled across the frozen road until they stopped at the General Mansion gate.
Bai Zheng alighted from the carriage with Zhuling’s help, and the Sky Blue Orchid Tattooed Embroidery Shoes went past the General Mansion’s main entrance, heading straight for Bai Yizhang’s study, but was stopped by a sharp voice.
“You still have the face to come!”
Bai Di who had just come out of the Hundred Blessed Hall tore away her previous pitiful disguise and walked towards Bai Zheng with a face full of anger. The afterglow of the setting sun shone behind her. The footsteps above her head jingled, causing Bai Zheng, who had turned to look, to blink for a moment.
It was no wonder that both Feng Jingxuan and Chu Feng would bow down to such a beauty.
When Bai Di walked closer, Bai Zheng smiled and said: “Zheng is here to look for Second Elder Sister. A few days ago, Second Elder Sister dropped something at my place, and Zheng had specially sent it over today.”
“You actually have the mood to give me something as a gift?” Bai Di frowned, then suddenly thought of something, and frowned: “When did I leave anything behind?”
Bai Zheng smiled and said, “Zheng found it in Daddy’s study. Although I didn’t recognize it as Second Elder Sister at the start, Uncle Fu said that in the past few days, besides Second Elder Sister, there hasn’t been an outsider in my Bai Mansion. I guess this thing must have been dropped by Second Elder Sister.”
Bai Di’s expression changed a few times, as if she did not expect Bai Zheng to actually say this, she stammered and asked: “Wh, what is it?”
Second Uncle had just landed in jail, and his General Mansion had just received the news. Bai Zheng came so fast, didn’t she just return!
Bai Zheng carefully stared at Bai Di, not letting a single change on her face slip away, and laughed softly for a while, the sound of the laughter was extremely light, like snow that had just fallen, “I believe Second Elder Sister’s memory is not too good.”
As he said that, he took out a piece of embroidered cloth. From the inside, black words could be seen. It was obvious that it was a letter.
The more Bai Zheng whipped around, the whiter her complexion became.
Didn’t second uncle fall into jail! Could it be that this letter wasn’t found? Could it be that Bai Zheng knew something?
Her face became paler and paler, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably. She subconsciously shouted, “This, this is not mine!”
Bai Zheng stopped what she was doing and understood. This Second Elder Sister of her was after all young, and could not hold back at all.
“Second Elder Sister hasn’t seen what it is, how do you know it isn’t yours?” The smile on Bai Zheng’s face gradually deepened, but her hand had changed as she pulled out another handkerchief.
“Look, Second Elder Sister, isn’t this the handkerchief you left behind?”
Bai Di was startled, she stared blankly at it for a moment, then suddenly seemed to understand something, she raised her head, her eyes releasing a cold light: “Despicable and threatening, you are messing with me!”
Bai Zheng said innocently: “I don’t have it, could it be that this isn’t Second Elder Sister’s handkerchief?”
Zhuling lowered her head: “Miss must be worried about Master’s matter, and mistook the handkerchief as the wrong one. Please forgive me!”
“What crime are you apologizing for? From what I see, you’re clearly just toying with me!” Bai Di cut him off harshly.
Without leaving a trace, Bai Zheng sneered and didn’t want to deal with her again. She then said blissfully, “Second Elder Sister has misunderstood, Uncle still has matters to attend to, so Zheng does not dare to delay and take her leave. I will apologize to Second Elder Sister next time.”
With that, he ignored Bai Di who had yet to react and headed towards the General Mansion study room.
“Bai Zheng, you despicable and oppressive person, you have guts!” Behind him, Bai Di roared in hysteria as she inserted her nails into the meat.
Bai Zheng, who had walked to the entrance of the study, lightly shook the snowflakes that were on her shoulders, and heard the butler Bai Shou’s report: “Third Miss, Master said that he knew of your request and sent someone to scout just now. Second Elder has now entered the Supreme Court, so he is powerless to help. You should go back. ”
With regards to this matter, Bai Zheng was not surprised at all.
Her clear eyes looked at Bai Shou, and the smile on his lips seemed to disappear: “Uncle Ling, you misunderstand, Zheng did not come to see Big Uncle to plead for mercy for Daddy, but to save General Mansion.”
