C101 (1/2)

Bai Zheng knew that the two elders were giving her courage, and a warm feeling filled her heart. She smiled and replied, ”With His Highness Wen King and the Old Duke here, Zheng is not afraid.”

”Little girl, you forgot about Ayuan again!” The Old Duke laughed heartily.

Everyone immediately laughed out loud.

As they chatted, a young man walked into the hall under Bai Fu's guidance.

Bai Zheng stood behind Bai Yinan and looked over.

The man's body was tall and straight. His calm eyes hid a gaze as sharp as a falcon. When matched with his handsome face that seemed to have been carved out from the depths of space, his valiant aura was even more intimidating.

”I am Zhuo Lingxiao. Greetings, Master Bai. Greetings, Dingyuan Marquis. Greetings, two sirs …. ”Milord.”

It was clear that he had received the corresponding training, even if he did not recognize the Wen King and Old Duke Zhou, this Xuanning King still respected the etiquette of Great Zhou very much, bowing to the people in the hall one by one, until his gaze landed on Bai Zheng.

Zhuo Lingxiao's gaze became even sharper, and looked at Bai Zheng without any hesitation, before speaking slowly.

”This is the future Wife of Dingyuan Marquis, Miss Bai Zheng right?”

Facing Zhuo Lingxiao's gaze that was sizing him up, Bai Zheng acted as if she did not feel it, she smiled and stepped forward to return the greeting: ”Bai Zheng, greets Decedent.”

Zhuo Lingxiao's eyes flashed with a strange look, and after a while, he suddenly laughed out loud. ”Master Hou, you have good eyes, it seems that this little madam is a powerful character.”

Feng Linyuan smiled slightly: ”Zheng is timid, Decedent, don't scare her.”

Zhuo Lingxiao laughed clearly, ”Master Hou, don't worry. How can I, your Decedent, be someone who doesn't know how to show mercy to the fairer sex? Madam Hou is elegant and generous, and is definitely not a timid person like Master Hou had said. It is actually a good match for the gift that I, Big Beam, have prepared. ”

Bai Yinan timely laughed: ”Decedent is flattering me. My family's little girl only got the chance to marry into the Mansion of Dingyuan Marquis with the good fortune of three lives, empty-handed even under the title of Madam Hou. In reality, she is only an insensible child, why would she need to come all the way from Decedent to deliver gifts? ”

Zhuo Lingxiao looked at Bai Zheng with a deeper meaning, ”Everyone will know when you see this gift of mine, whether Miss Bai is worthy of it or not.”

Hearing this, Bai Zheng had a bad premonition.

Zhuo Lingxiao clapped his hands lightly. A man who looked like a bodyguard came up with a long and narrow carved wooden box in his hands.

”Is this the present Decedent prepared for my daughter?” Bai Yinan glanced at it and asked.

Zhuo Lingxiao nodded, his eyes staring straight at Bai Zheng, he raised his hand: ”Miss Bai, why don't you open it yourself?”

Bai Zheng looked at the shape of the box, and knew that this gift was not a normal jewel, after pondering for a moment, she raised his eyes, and blinked his eyes at Zhuo Lingxiao, and revealed a smile: ”Then Bai Zheng will not be courteous.”

As he spoke, he walked forward.

Bai Yinan instinctively wanted to stop them, but when he saw Feng Linyuan's calm face, Wen King and Old Duke Zhou's expressions did not change.

Yes, even if Zhuo Lingxiao was even more daring, he would not choose this time to make a move against Bai Zheng.

Bai Zheng extended a finger, hooked the lock on the wooden box, and then raised her head to look at Zhuo Lingxiao.

Zhuo Lingxiao slightly nodded his head, and then, he opened the wooden box.

Immediately, a burst of biting cold air met his eyes.

Inside the exquisite wooden box was a long sword.

Seeing the sword, Feng Linyuan's face changed.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the Wen King say in a deep voice: ”Master Hou's wedding day, why would Decedent give this thing to you?”
