C66 (1/2)

Everything happened too quickly. The crowd could only see that the sharp arrow was about to hit County Princess.

Baili Moxun's black eyes darkened slightly. She gently twisted the stone in her sleeve and it flew towards the arrow. The arrow just barely managed to pierce into the ground beside County Princess's feet!

”Ah!

County Princess looked at the cold arrow that was stabbed into the ground and screamed. It was no longer as dignified as it was before.

maidservant, who was beside her, hurried forward to help her up. Hee Qiqi was also surprised and quickly walked to County Princess's side.

”mother, are you alright?”

County Princess gasped for breath in shock. After some time, she finally said, ”No, it's nothing …”

Bai Zhiling felt a cold gaze fall on her. She raised her head and saw County Prince Lee, who was enduring his anger.

”This is nonsense!” County Prince Lee burst out in laughter. He did not mention the name, but everyone present knew who he was referring to.

Including County Prince Lee, most people thought that Bai Zhiling's arrow was purposely flying towards County Princess!

The speed at which the arrow flew was already fast, and only a few people were able to clearly see what had happened.

”Miss Bai, this concubine has no enmity with you, why do you have to be so sinister!” County Princess recovered her breath and her face was filled with rage.

Hee Qiqi supported County Princess as he looked at Bai Zhiling with a frown.

”You want to vent your anger on the main house? Bai Zhiling, you sure have a lot of guts.” Bai Zhiling was unlucky, so of course Hu Xiuling would add insult to injury.

From the moment Bai Zhiling picked up the bow and arrow, Baili Xing's gaze had been fixed on her. His skills weren't low, so he naturally saw the trajectory of her arrow. It was likely that someone had done something to her in the dark.

He looked at Bai Zhiling. If she had come to plead with him, he might have stood up to plead for her.

”Murdering a first-class madame is a capital offense. You unfilial girl, hurry up and apologize to County Princess!”

At this moment, a figure walked out and looked at Bai Zhiling with an unlucky expression.

This person was none other than Bai Zhiling's cheap father, Duke Jingxi, Bai Hexi.

Bai Zhiling had seen him since the start of the banquet. He had been sitting securely in his seat when she was bullied. Now that he had come out, he was afraid that she would implicate the entire Bai Clan.

Bai Zhiling stood there and did not move. If she really wanted to murder County Princess, how could it be an excuse?

”My target is the target. Under normal circumstances, the arrows wouldn't get off the target. Someone touched me while I was shooting.”

”What you say? With so many pairs of eyes looking at you, do you think that everyone's blind? ” Hu Xiuling scoffed.

”Someone, I can see that Miss Bai is not feeling well. Bring Miss Bai to the guest room to rest.” County Prince Lee said with a sullen face. He had to continue with today's roasting of the deer. If he made a ruckus, it would be hard to explain himself to the emperor.

Bai Zhiling narrowed her eyes. County Prince Lee was trying to imprison her!

”All of you step back, I'll take her with me.”

Hee Qiqi walked to Bai Zhiling's side.

Bai Zhiling didn't resist because she didn't even know who used her as a gun or whether it was better to just wait and see.

Before she left, Baili Moxun glanced at her but didn't say anything.

County Princess steadied her heart and forced herself to continue entertaining the female guests.

The old prefecture lord, who had proposed to play the game, rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He left as an excuse when he was tired.

Baili Xing could not help but become angry when he saw that Bai Zhiling did not have any intentions of asking for his help even after being taken away by the County Prince people.

Bai Hexi kept apologizing to County Prince Lee, completely ignoring Bai Zhiling.

After exiting the garden, Hee Qiqi stopped maidservant who had followed them. She said, ”I know it's not you.”

Bai Zhiling was slightly surprised. After all, the person who had nearly been injured was her mother.

”Thank you for your trust.”
