”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?”
