I Conquer the World For My Duke - C97

When Bai Zheng heard this, she shyly lowered her head. From her earlobes to her cheeks was a layer of crimson red.

When Feng Jingxuan and Feng Linhuai saw this, they looked at each other, and Feng Linhuai laughed even more.

“Xuan, you really don’t know what’s good for you, why are you bothering this couple.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Feng Jingxuan replied, “Oh right, Uncle Yi King, I heard that a new chef with excellent culinary skills has come to the Treasure school, and has released quite a few new dishes. Why don’t I take advantage of today and invite you to have a taste?”

Feng Linhuai looked at the sky, only to see that in the middle of the sun, the matter of the report had dragged on for a long time.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier? Then we have to go quickly. If we’re late, I’m afraid there won’t be a good spot for us.” With that, he pulled Feng Jingxuan out of the door.

Seeing that the person had left, the shyness on Bai Zheng’s face instantly disappeared as he looked at Feng Linyuan coldly.

Seeing that, Feng Linyuan immediately put on a fawning smile, and asked warmly: “Is Zheng hungry?”

“I’m not hungry.” With that cold voice, Bai Zheng turned and walked out of the great hall.

At the entrance of the yamen, the spectators had already dispersed, leaving behind only the carriage that Bai Zheng had taken in in the morning.

Bai Zheng looked around, and could not help but frown: “Where is your carriage?”

Feng Linyuan, who followed closely behind, replied in a low voice: “Just now, I came in a hurry. I rode my horse to the Yi King Palace, and sat in the carriage of the Yi King.”

“Riding?” Bai Zheng immediately frowned, “Your body is able to withstand the bumpy ride!”

Feng Linyuan lowered his head in grievance, not daring to speak.

Bai Zheng let out a long sigh: “I’ll send you back, get on the carriage.”

Feng Linyuan hurriedly replied, “Okay.”

The noon sunlight was shining through the car window evenly, warming the entire carriage. Only Bai Zheng’s cold face seemed out of place compared to her surroundings.

Feng Linyuan carefully glanced at her a few times, and finally broke the silence: “Zheng, are you angry?”

“What do you think?” Bai Zheng glared at him.

“I understand, Zheng was blaming me for disregarding my own body.” Feng Linyuan said helplessly, “It’s just that Zheng, you should tell me before you go to work next time.”

“You should have told me before you came out next time,” she said. Bai Zheng replied expressionlessly.

Feng Linyuan paused for a long while, before finally lowering his head and apologizing, “Sorry.”

Bai Zheng raised her eyebrows, looked at Feng Linyuan quietly, and sighed: “I thought we trusted each other enough.”

She raised her eyes, which were filled with a fragmented light. “You should have believed me. I’m not a reckless person.”

“Zheng, I naturally believe in you.” Feng Linyuan looked back at her, his lips curled up in a smile, “But, I am your man after all.”

Bai Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he said, “I hope that you can give me a chance to show off when you encounter difficulties. “Although it’s very easy for my fiancee to do anything, if it’s like that, I won’t feel any sense of accomplishment.”

“A sense of accomplishment?” Bai Zheng turned her head.

In her previous life, after being a woman for nearly thirty years, she had never thought about this problem.

“I am your future husband. If I can’t protect my wife and need her to solve all the problems by herself, then wouldn’t my husband be too useless? “What’s more …”

Bai Zheng was at a loss: “What more?”

“Moreover, if you go alone to deal with them, you will have to pay the price.”

Bai Zheng gave a relieved smile, “Those prices are nothing, there are even times where I only need to graze a little bit of their skin and I will be able to take care of them …”

“Even if it’s just a little bit of skin,” Feng Linyuan interrupted her as he looked at his with his glass-like eyes: “My heart also hurts.”

Bai Zheng paused, her eyes turning left and right in panic, then she lowered her head. Under the sunlight’s reflection, her fair ears were dyed with a layer of light red.

“The so-called performance and sense of accomplishment are unable to match up to even a little bit of your injuries. Zheng’s tone was gentle as she reached out her hand and gently caressed the hair by her ear, hooking it behind her ear and saying, “I hope you can understand the pain in my heart.”

Feng Linyuan smiled, that smile seemed to be filled with warmth and clarity like never before.

Bai Zheng could not help but understand.

He felt as if the side of his face was still slightly numb, as though an electric current had struck her heart. The exquisite touch of his fingers seemed to still be circulating, and a short moment of blankness appeared in Bai Zheng’s mind.

Feng Linyuan’s laughter suddenly rang beside her ears: “So Zheng, don’t be angry at me, alright?”

“Alright …”

When the words left her mouth, Bai Zheng was somewhat vexed.

Why was it that every time she met Feng Linyuan, her usually proud reaction would always stop uncontrollably? The reproach that came out of her mouth had been swallowed back down into a gentle explanation.

“Then promise me first. Take good care of your body so that you can protect me.”

Feng Linyuan smiled, “Alright.”

In the early spring, all the cold gradually melted away.

When all things began, it was as if something had taken root in the earth, sprouting fresh, tender buds.

Perhaps, it was because Bai Zheng had taken the initiative to plead for mercy this time, that the Chu Family did not receive too much blame from Feng Linche. Instead, she only bid one hundred and fifty thousand silver on a Drop Pearl and returned it to Feng Linyuan.

On the other hand, because Chu Feng had worn wet clothes for a long time that day and was anxious and angry, he became severely ill after returning. He didn’t go out of his room for a month in a row.

On the other hand, news of Chu Feng staying overnight at the Yicui Pavilion and White Horse Garden spread like wildfire, and from then on, Bai Di completely drew a line between them.

Within a few days, the news of Feng Jingxuan proposing to marry the General Mansion Second Miss as his main wife spread.

Feng Jingye and the Prime Minister Chu were busy cleaning up the mess that Chu Feng had left behind. Feng Jingxuan and Bai Di were running around for the Engagement Banquet, so no one came to find trouble with Bai Zheng.

As a result, in this period when no one was around, other than going to the Song Kiln to research on the porcelain and the paper, Bai Zheng took out the one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver Feng Linyuan had gifted him and set up her own business.

Even though Yongding City was the capital, right now, both internal and external factors such as frustration and frustration, as well as the feeling of waiting for good fortune to come out of nowhere, caused many shops in the city to start selling cheaply.

Bai Zheng held onto another large amount of silver, he was even more generous with her money.

Every day, when she received news, she would change into men’s clothing and go out with Qingshao to check out the stores and restaurants.

After seven or eight consecutive days, she finally bought a dozen stores and two restaurants. She immediately hired craftsmen to redecorate the shops and the restaurants according to her wishes.

At the same time, she also followed the steward called by Soong Family and went out of the city to look at the fields outside the city. She bought a thousand acres of fertile land and five hundred mu of land outside the city.
