C15 (1/2)

This furious rebuke scared Bai Yinan to the point that he trembled. His legs went weak and he was about to kneel down, but Bai Zheng seemingly carelessly held him by the elbow, only then did he regain his senses.

Bai Zheng lowered her eyes, her long bangs blocking her face, causing people to be unable to see her expression clearly: ”Grandmother, please calm your anger, what mistake has Zheng committed?”

Madame Hee raised her eyebrows, ”What's wrong with that? You ignored your parents and voluntarily withdrew from your marriage with Mansion of Prime Minister, and even disregarded your sisterhood by slandering your Second Elder Sister in public. I actually do not know when our Bai Family has given birth to such an ingrate like you! ”

”I heard that Miss Bai had harshly accused my son of being heartless and slandering my son for accepting things in secret. I wonder how Assistant Minister Bai is usually taught by her family and how your daughter is so impudent!” Prime Minister Chu's indifferent gaze swept across Bai Zheng, staring at him coldly.

Actually, Prime Minister Chu, who heard of this the other day, was extremely pleased with the matter of annulling the marriage between the daughter of a mere grade three assistant minister.

However, as the corruption case gradually calmed down, there was actually a voice that began to spread widely, saying that Mansion of Prime Minister Young Master was dissolute, and deserved to be annulled.

Where would he put his old face?

Hearing the words private lesson, Madame Hee remembered Bai Di's gloomy expression these few days. Her heart immediately ached, and she pointed at Bai Zheng: ”Evil creature! It was fortunate that Di took the opportunity to chant Buddha to keep you safe a few days ago. Who would have thought that her first cousin would slander her like that! ”

Zheng has always respected her own sister, so how could she frame Di! As for this marriage … Prime Minister Chu, as fathers, you and I should know the feelings Zheng holds towards the Young Master Chu. If not for the fact that Zheng really hurt her heart this time, she would not have reneged on the marriage … ”

Bai Yinan had always been a filial child, so when he saw his old mother angry, he did not know what to do. Fortunately, after so many years of experience protecting his daughter, he was not scared out of his mind.

”Assistant Minister Bai, this means that you are going to prove the ruthlessness of your Chu Family? This marriage was originally set up by Old General Bai and Prime Minister Mu when you were still alive. Your Bai Family suddenly cancelled the marriage, and some people might even think that this uncle of yours had some sort of shameful illness that caused Miss Bai to look down on you! ” Feng Jingye said coldly.

Seeing that Bai Zheng had kept her head down and did not speak, Bai Yinan was once again choked with emotions. Feng Jingyi could not bear to do it, so she coughed lightly in an attempt to break the siege.

”Since the ancient times, this woman's thoughts are the most difficult to fathom. I heard that Miss Bai has loved Sir Chu Feng for a long time, this matter of annulling the engagement must have been Miss Bai's impulsive words, how could he be willing to break it?”

Bai Zheng's mouth twitched. This Feng Jingyi had the best character out of all the nine princes that Feng Linche had talked about.

However, if he knew that he was the one who cheated on him before, he wouldn't have been so kind to help him today, right?

She gave a cold laugh and said.

”Zheng has indeed admired Big Brother Chu Feng in the past. Only after experiencing so much, Zheng was already disheartened to begin with. Back then, when Mansion of Prime Minister's Servant Xin insulted Zheng, saying that he was not worthy enough for the Young Master Chu, Zheng suddenly realized that if she still refused to let go of the marriage, it would be useless no matter who it was.

At that time, not only would Bai Mansion be affected, the entire Yongding City would also be a joke. It's just that after Zheng lost her grandfather, her uncle didn't feel pain, her grandmother didn't love it, and she allowed the servants of Mansion of Prime Minister to bully him, not daring to say a word and end the engagement. ”

Bai Zheng had a wronged look on her face as she spoke in a helpless tone, her tone carrying a sense of righteousness.

However, the meaning behind her words was that his Mansion of Prime Minister had gone too far, to the point where she even dared to spout nonsense towards a mere servant. She simply did not put Bai Mansion in her eyes at all.
