C57 (2/2)

Hearing her words, Bai Zhiru's face looked like the liver of a pig. He wanted to be angry but he couldn't do anything, so he could only endure.

”Prince Mo, I only wanted to take a look at Xi Er's residence and return to pacify Grandfather's heart. However, I never expected that I would actually be unable to enter the gates of the Duke Palace.

Bai Zhiru used the silk handkerchief to wipe his eyes that did not have tears, and spoke with a voice as thin as an ant's. From the outside, the tears of a beauty didn't attract the pity of others.

Hearing that, Jun Mohan stopped in his tracks as he was about to enter the Duke's Palace. The dark and unrepentant light in his eyes suddenly turned cold, and his disdain for the Emperor's words became clear.

He tilted his head and looked at Bai Zhixi who was holding back his laughter, and slapped her on the head, his eyes filled with warning.

Bai Zhiru saw that the expression in front of him suddenly changed, and like a storm was approaching, he could not help but roll his eyes at him, and ignored the cold look in his eyes.

In any case, Bai Zhiru did not come for him today, so he was too lazy to participate.

”Miss Bai, please go back and tell Grandfather Bai that if he wants to see how Bai Zhixi is doing, he will visit him himself. I think grandpa would be very happy to know that, so I won't trouble you anymore. ”

Jun Mohan said coldly, and pulled Bai Zhixi inside the residence, ignoring the twisted expression on his face, he was no longer as Qiu Shui Yi had been.

Bai Zhiru looked at the two who were holding hands as they entered the gates, stared at them angrily, then turned and left.

Prime Minister's Palace

First Madam knew that his beloved daughter had returned, but she didn't come to visit him. Instead, she went to the clan's Duke Palace to look for Bai Zhixi, and couldn't help but feel excited in her heart.

She knew that Ru'Er wouldn't just stand by and watch, she would definitely teach her a lesson for Yan'Er and let her know who she couldn't afford to offend.

He was already standing hesitantly at the entrance of the courtyard as he continuously sent maidservant to the entrance to see if she had returned.

Ever since Yan'Er left, she was once immersed in her grief. She never slept, and was unable to extricate herself from it. She had hoped that her proud daughter would bring her good news at this moment.

”Madam, the Second Miss has returned. She is on her way to your courtyard.”

Her personal maidservant, Ye Mu, hurriedly walked in and said to her in surprise and delight.

Just as she finished speaking, she saw Bai Zhiru walk in with light footsteps.

When he saw First Madam, whose face was filled with vicissitudes and whose temples were slightly in disarray, his eyes grew hot and tears, which he could no longer hold back, flowed down.

She remembered that when she left, her mother had been so beautiful and elegant. Now that she looked like a resentful wife, how could she not feel heartache?

But thinking that all of this was because of Bai Zhixi, she couldn't help but wish that she could peel off her flesh and tear off her bones, and was unable to dispel the hatred in her heart.

”All right, Mother. The daughter knows you have suffered. Rest assured, I will take back all of this for you. I definitely won't let those bitches go. ”

His voice was like that of an oriole, filled with hatred and gnashing of teeth. Listening to him, his heart was filled with chill, and a sinister plot was born out of nowhere.

”Ru'er, mother knows that you are mother's pride, but … ”Your little sister Yan'Er died so unjustly. She was also my mother's flesh and blood, yet she was killed by someone without any reason. Mother is unwilling! I am truly unwilling!”

First Madam was no longer a dignified and elegant lady. She crawled in front of Bai Zhiru while crying and gasping for breath. From the moment he saw Bai Zhiru, the wall in his heart suddenly collapsed. He could no longer hold back and started to wail.

After being comforted by Bai Zhiru for a long time, she finally calmed down and peacefully slept on the bed.

”Second Miss, this time, you must come back and accompany Madam for a good month. This month has been too difficult for her.”

After sending Bai Zhiru out of the courtyard, Ye Mi knelt in front of her, begging with his eyes.

”Alright, it's been hard on you these days.”

Hearing that, Bai Zhiru nodded her head unquestionably, her eyes were red from the crying earlier, tears still remained in her eyes. When the cold wind blew, the beautiful figure shivered for a moment, then turned and left, walking towards the courtyard of Prime Minister Bai.

As night approached, the capital s were decorated with lanterns and festoons. The red lanterns of every household were hung up high in the sky.

The emperor's birthday feast was coming up, and he was about to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. There were people gathering around the market, and Sang Sang was shouting and discussing all sorts of new and strange news.

The first to bear the brunt of this was Bai Zhiru, who had returned with a body of beauty and wisdom. Everyone knew that the crown prince was going to choose his consort, and it seemed that the princess was her alone.

However, it was interesting to hear that there were more discussions over tea after dinner.

Rather, it was because she had gone to the Prince's manor before returning home, but because of the Duke Palace's rules, she could only return dejectedly.

As for the reason, there were different opinions among the people. But because she was the empress's adopted daughter and also the appointed princess, the imperial family could not allow for provocation, and could only whisper amongst themselves.
