C36 (1/2)

Hearing this, Prime Minister Bai frowned, looking at the dense crowd of people in the courtyard, as if trying to see through who was lying.

Two hours later, the servants Prime Minister Bai sent to look for returned.

”Reporting to the lord, we have searched the backyard but have not found the third miss.”

”Madam, we've also searched the riverside, but we didn't find the third miss.”

”Master, the guard said that he has never seen Miss leave the manor …”

”A bunch of useless trash couldn't even find a single person. Butler, personally lead people to search this place carefully, not letting a single place slip by. ”Mama Zhao, bring some people to search through my little courtyard. I don't believe that a dignified young lady from the Prime Minister's Estate would disappear into thin air.”

Prime Minister Bai slapped the table as he sat in the main seat with an ashen face. Auntie Du beside him kept on patting his back to catch his breath, as a strange look flashed in his eyes.

”Yes, old master!”

The servant got his orders and ran off like a wisp of smoke. Bai Zhixi's stomach growled as he continuously rubbed it with his hands. However, she didn't expect the First Madam to keep staring at her.

”Xi Er, where were you last night?”

Yan'Er disappeared, but she was fine. This was too abnormal. Was this damn girl really that capable?

”To reply Third Aunt, of course I was asleep last night. Could it be that there's something else I can do? ”

Bai Zhixi laughed and asked. He finally couldn't hold it in anymore, could he?

”Alright, third wife, what do you mean? What could Little Xi do if she didn't sleep at night? With these thoughts, I will properly manage the Prime Minister's Mansion and teach the children of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Don't lose face for the Residence of General. ”

Old General Bai's words succeeded in raising everyone's spirits. During this period of time, everyone was busy preparing for their talent, and not just for the sake of being able to show off their skills at the palace. If they were lucky enough to be chosen by the princes, they wouldn't have to worry for the rest of their lives.

Amongst the people, Bai Zhiyuan smiled slightly, both of his hands were tightly twisting the silk handkerchief. The position of princess was hers, no one could snatch it away from her.

After an interlude, the hall returned to its previous silence.

”Madam, I found it... ”I've found the third lady …”

In the distance, Mama Zhao ran in, panting and shouting at the top of her lungs. First Madam stood up excitedly and stared at her.

”Where is it?” Where is my Yan'Er? … ”Hurry up and take me to …”

First Madam's voice was trembling and his eyes were red. His face still had traces of tears from crying as he forcefully grabbed onto his mother's hand.

Only the heavens knew how scared she was when she heard that Yan'Er had gone missing. That was her life!

”This... ”Madam, Third Young Miss, she …”

”Pa!”

Mother Zhao seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by First Madam, who immediately slapped her.

”But what 'but'? Quickly bring me there …”

”Yes, ma'am. The third young miss is in the 'ancestral hall' of the forbidden courtyard, and … ”

Then, she whispered some words into the ears of the First Madam, obviously this was a shameful matter.

In a blink of an eye, First Madam transmitted his message back to Prime Minister Bai. Prime Minister Bai's eyes were filled with disbelief, his fists were tightly clenched, and his veins were popping out, but under his cover, it seemed like nothing had happened.

”Alright, since Yan'Er was so fond of playing that much that she couldn't find her way back to the small courtyard, that's why we were panicking today. Now that we've found it, everyone has been standing here for so long, let's go back and have lunch.”

Prime Minister Bai endured the anger in his heart. He wanted to see who was so audacious as to dare bully him.

”Aiyo, Master, you said that we were waiting here early in the morning to look for the Third Miss, but now, you want us to go back without even seeing her? I'm not feeling at ease at all.” Let us have a look! should not... Has Third Miss done something shameful? ”

Aunt Liu, who had just entered the palace, grabbed Prime Minister Bai's sleeves in a flirtatious voice. She did not seem to see the Prime Minister Bai's growing anger at all.

”Pa …”

”You are a lowly servant. How are you qualified to talk about the young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate?” ”Men, give me a slap on the face.”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed past First Madam's eyes, she slapped her face, and on her delicate and weak face, tears kept flowing out.

”Old master, I don't mean it that way. Old master, save me! ”Master...”

However, her shout did not return Prime Minister Bai's pity. Instead, she kicked her in the chest, her eyes filled with disgust.

”To dare to guess the reputation of the young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate, you shall be beaten to death.”

Prime Minister Bai said emotionlessly as he lifted his leg and walked towards the direction of the forbidden grounds.

Bai Zhixi looked at all of this expressionlessly, his heart was filled with sorrow, this was the feudal ancient era, and the status of women was extremely low. One moment, he might be talking to you sweetly, but the next moment, he might not even know how he died.
