The next step of the corruption case was as Bai Zheng had expected.

After he had been implicated and imprisoned, Grand Commandant Zhao and Duke Qing had thoroughly displayed the power and connections that they had accumulated over the years. Every day, they would send a group of officials to request for orders, and every day, Noble Consort Zhao and Eldest Princess An Yang would seek Feng Linche for help.

The justice court officials were so frightened that they didn't know what to do, so Feng Linche could only ask the Crown Prince Feng Jingye to investigate it himself.

Under so much pressure, Feng Jingye had actually found out about quite a few corrupt and bribe-taking officials, and even caught a group of Xiliang spies, who in the end, ended the case with a Great Zhou spy trying to break away from the Great Zhou emperor.

Back and forth, only four or five days had passed.

Bai Zheng stood guard at the entrance of the Supreme Court, waiting for Bai Yinan to be released. She calculated in her heart, the appointed ten days were about to end, and the matter of three thousand silver would have to be put on the agenda.

Bai Nianming laid on the ground outside the doors of the justice courts, probing with his round head, ”Elder sister, when will father come out?”

Bai Nianjin patted Bai Nianming's head and said gently: ”What are you being anxious for, Daddy is coming out right now.”

”Daddy!”

Hearing Bai Nianming's cheers, Bai Zheng immediately raised her head and looked over. She saw Bai Yinan wearing a dark blue cloth and walking towards them.

He hastened his steps and walked out, carrying Bai Nianming. ”Nianming, good child …”

”Daddy …” The moment he saw Bai Yinan, Bai Zheng's eyes turned red.

In her previous life, ever since she went abroad to study at the age of fourteen, she had had a lot of work to do and rarely returned home. Her father died when she was 22 due to illness.

At that time, she was in the middle of a debate on her thesis. She didn't even have time to return home to see her father for the last time.

In her previous life, father and daughter were very thin, in this life, she would definitely cherish them many times more.

Bai Yinan turned his head and saw Bai Zheng standing next to him. Bai Zheng could clearly see that the moment his gaze touched her, she felt an expression of love and relief that was hard to detect.

Bai Yinan put down his son and hastily went forward to look at Bai Zheng carefully. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, he said in a gratified voice, ”Zheng is back! ”It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine.”

Bai Nianjin, who was left alone by the side, had a sour look in his eyes. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, then smiled and pulled Bai Nianming over: ”Let's go home quickly. Mother should be waiting for us.”

Along the way, under Bai Yinan's request, Bai Zheng told him about her experiences when she went missing. Bai Nianming also mentioned about Chu Feng's marriage annulment that day.

Bai Nianjin was the first to get off the carriage, and carried Bai Nianming down. As soon as Bai Yinan lifted up the curtain, he heard butler Bai Fu's voice: ”Old master, young miss, Old Madam General Mansion requests the two of you to come over immediately.”

's face turned cold. Madame Hee had always been biased, he really did not have a good impression of him, and she immediately said coldly: ”Father just returned, at least you should rest inside for a bit. Can't you go tomorrow?”
