Servant Xin was frozen still, he could not move at all. He stared blankly at the place where Bai Zheng was a step away from him. A man dressed in black tightly gripped onto Chu Feng's wrist.

However, everyone present, including Chu Feng, could not see clearly where this man had come from.

Bai Zheng smiled as she glanced at the man, then quickly directed his gaze towards the direction of the voice. Unconsciously, a brilliant smile appeared on his face.

Not far away from the door, there was a straight, azure figure of his back. Only now did he slightly turn his head, allowing people to see half of his handsome face.

”Hold, hold, hold!” After a long while, Chu Feng finally spat out two words.

”Young Master Chu, even though your Mansion of Prime Minister is notorious, your Great Zhou is still the one with the surname Feng. When did my Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis fall to the point where my wife can be snatched away in the streets?” Feng Linyuan slowly walked forward, embraced Bai Zheng and protected her behind him, then turned his gaze towards Chu Feng.

The reason why Feng Jingxuan sent the assassins to assassinate Bai Zheng was so that the Dark Guard could kill them. But someone like Chu Feng, who fought openly, the Dark Guard would naturally not dare to show his face.

They could only watch as Bai Zheng was taken away.

Chu Feng swung the man who was pinching him, and said forcefully: ”Dingyuan Marquis was a young hero back then, after all. How is my taste so bad now, for things that I, Chu Feng do not want actually become treasures?”

”There is a heaven and earth difference in judgement between this marquis and Young Master Chu.” Feng Linyuan was not angry, and there was even an additional trace of a faint smile on his face, ”After all, this duke has never been able to compliment Young Master Chu's judgement.”

Chu Feng's face sunk, he then thought of something, and looked at Bai Zheng with a look of ridicule.

”That's right, I am indeed not as sharp as Dingyuan Marquis. I found a poor, crazy, and precious wife and insisted on asking for thirty thousand silvers from my Mansion of Prime Minister. I remember that my Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis isn't as poor as that, right? Or did Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis give me too many betrothal gifts, so Miss Bai is afraid that if Bai Mansion can't bring out that many dowry, you might scam me? ”

”My Wife of Dingyuan Marquis received such a shock, to actually ask for Mansion of Prime Minister to claim for thirty thousand silver?” Feng Linyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Zheng with dissatisfaction, ”Zheng, you are really too kind.”

Chu Feng's face, which was originally full of ridicule, instantly cracked. ”What did you say!?”

Bai Zheng held back her laughter, lowered her head, and said: ”I'm afraid that Mansion of Prime Minister doesn't have much money, so I don't have the nerve to ask for more.”

As if unable to deal with Bai Zheng, Feng Linyuan sighed, and with a pained heart, he pinched a strand of hair that landed on Bai Zheng's clothes. He turned his head and coldly said, ”Even a strand of hair has fallen off! Zheng, you were bullied by the Mansion of Prime Minister to only have thirty thousand? Although my Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis does not lack money, it is not something that anyone can bully. ”

Even though Feng Linyuan's words caused him to feel a chill, Bai Zheng still dutifully cooperated and said, ”After all, Prince has contributed a lot to the marquis' marriage with me, for your highness' sake …”

Feng Linyuan nodded his head: ”For your Highness's sake, just a hundred thousand silver.”

”One hundred thousand silver taels!” Chu Feng was completely driven mad.

Right now, he wished he could beat himself to death!

This Bai Zheng, who was she still that stupid girl who was willing to be bullied by him at the beginning, was clearly a debt collecting devil! Now that they were bestowed marriage with Feng Linyuan, they were even stronger than him and teamed up together to gang up on him, pulling his tendons and skin until there was nothing left to play with.

Looking at the unwilling Chu Feng, Bai Zheng smiled, ”It doesn't matter if Young Master Chu has made a bad decision. Just send the silver taels to the Bai Mansion when the time comes. Thank you, Young Master Chu, for bringing me here. As for the rest of the road, just have Master Hou to send me off. ”
