C19 (2/2)

Before the auction ended smoothly, she had to be more careful. If there was one less person who knew about it, then there would be one less accident.

Feng Jingye frowned, and was extremely displeased with Bai Zheng for hiding it. ”It's only been one night, and you're still able to find out the truth? I'm afraid that it is impossible for me to continue trying to be strong here! ”

”Your Highness, please calm your anger.” This subject is not intentionally hiding the truth. It is just that I am afraid something bad might happen to the two hundred thousand silver taels. ”

”Do you know, if you can't raise it, you will have to kneel at the west gate all the way to the east gate and every time you kneel you will have to shout out, 'Bai Zheng has no eyes, you slander Chu Feng'. This is a bet you made with Prime Minister Chu, even I can't help you!” Feng Jingye said angrily.

Bai Zheng lowered her head, a cold look flashing past her eyes: ”This subject understands. However, this subject does not understand one thing. ”

”What is it?” Feng Jingye asked.

”That day, when Young Master Chu came to the Bai Mansion to end the engagement, this subject was extremely disappointed. Although he had said something impulsive, it was far from the words he had heard.

Furthermore, during that time, a case of corruption that shocked the entire city occurred. For a small matter like this subject's withdrawal from the marriage alliance, rumors actually popped up after four or five consecutive days of corruption cases, as if someone was manipulating it from the back, deliberately using this matter to damage the reputation of the Mansion of Prime Minister. ”

Feng Jingye squinted. In the past few days, he had only focused on two hundred thousand silvers. He did not think about this matter in detail. Now that Bai Zheng understood it, there was indeed something fishy about this matter.

”Now that the rumors have been spread, Prime Minister Chu has become an unkind son, and the Young Master Chu has become a dishonest man, such rumors would cause harm to both Empress Chu and Empress Chu. For the past few days, this subject has been thinking about who was behind all this, and who was the one who could make the biggest profit in this matter. ”

Feng Jingye suddenly opened his eyes wide, it was him!

Only that person would want to pull him down from the position of Crown Prince as soon as possible!

”Tomorrow, I will hand over two hundred thousand taels of silvers as promised. However, this matter, I would like to ask Prince to take charge of it on my behalf.” Bai Zheng said as she bent down towards Feng Jingye.

Feng Jingye nodded his head, his eyes cold: ”Rest assured, this prince will definitely investigate everything.”

”Thank you, Prince!” Bai Zheng was blessed, but still had a smile on his lips.

”No need to be so polite.” Feng Jingye laughed and said: ”I'll be troubling Miss Bai with the two hundred thousand. I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave first.”

”We respectfully send you off, Prince.”

Bai Zheng lowered her eyes and bowed slightly. After the carriage had disappeared to the corner of the street, she suddenly smiled, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

Since someone had repeatedly forsaken their kinship, she could not just sit there and wait for death. Since she came in return, she did not hesitate. Today, she would give him a surprise.

”Miss, the auction is about to begin. Please go eat something. Master is already waiting for you in the carriage.” Bai Fu said.

”I'm not eating anymore. Let's head to the Treasure-collecting Tower first. I still have some matters to attend to. ” After she finished speaking, Bai Zheng sat on the green felt carriage that belonged to the Bai Mansion and hurried towards the Treasure-collecting Tower.
