C9 (1/2)

The last four words were especially harsh on Bai Zheng, as each word fell onto Bai Shou's heart.

Bai Shou was surprised, his eyes turned a few times: ”Third Miss, please wait.” He then returned to his study.

Not long after, Bai Shou opened the door and invited them in, ”Third Miss, please.”

Bai Zheng nodded, signalling for Zhuling to stay outside the door, then walked into the study.

The structure of General Mansion's study was similar to that of the Bai Mansion, except that most of the books on the bookshelves were soldiers, and a map was hanging on the side of the wall.

When Bai Qiying was still alive, he often came to play, but now, things had changed.

Bai Zheng stopped her messy thoughts and walked straight to the desk. There was a middle aged man sitting in the middle of the chair. His thick black hair was tied up, and there was not a single strand of white hair to be seen.

”Zheng pays her respect to Big Uncle.”

Bai Yizhang raised his eyes, an imposing manner without anger spreading out: ”What are you doing here?”

Bai Zheng bowed her head. ”Zheng wishes to request Eldest Uncle to save Father and plead for Your Majesty on behalf of Father.”

”I know about your father, but I can't help him. Moreover, the Great Zhou treasury is now empty, your father has embezzled two hundred thousand gold at this critical juncture, he is courting death. ” Bai Yizhang said indifferently, as if he was not talking about his own brother, but a criminal that he did not know.

Bai Zheng's body trembled slightly, as if she was crying, ”Uncle, you should know that father has always been a dutiful and timid man, how could he dare to steal silver! It was just a letter, it couldn't be counted! ”As long as uncle pleads with His Majesty, in consideration of General Mansion and Grandfather's face, Daddy, Daddy will be fine …”

Bai Yizhang frowned, he looked at Bai Shou impatiently, and the killing intent that came out from the battlefield caused Bai Shou to be extremely shocked. This Third Miss, he had said just now that he was not here to plead for mercy but was instead here to save General Mansion, and in the end, had actually lied to him.

”Uncle …” Zheng is begging Big Uncle … ”You have to save father, it's just a letter, it can't be counted on …”
