C78 (1/2)
After a long while, Bai Zhixi forced himself to hold back the anger in his heart. With a sweep of his eyes, Orange Frost tacitly looked at the person who had first scolded her, and threw him over his shoulder, causing him to lose his breath.
The noisy crowd immediately fell into silence. The silence was terrifyingly quiet. Everyone looked suspiciously at Orange Frost, curious as to why she was doing this.
”Everyone, standing at the entrance of our Love Sea in the early morning and insulting our esteemed guests, are you all bullying our Love Sea people? Don't blame me for not reminding everyone, this Miss Bai came here to gather at Love Sea at the invitation of our Love Sea's owner last night. Yesterday, it was already late, so we decided to rest here.
Chen Shuang swept her eyes over the crowd with an extremely cold gaze. A smile appeared on her ice-cold face, and her voice was as cold as ice, causing people to shudder.
Her words were like a clap of thunder that exploded in the crowd. Everyone whispered in each other's ears as they looked at First Madam and the rest who were kneeling in front of her, and started pointing.
”No, Xi Er, you can't frame us like this, your sister really needs your help! And your grandfather, he became angry and unconscious after you committed those heinous acts, how can you be so heartless! ”
First Madam saw that he had lost his power, and started to wail again. His tearless eyes were filled with ferocity.
Hearing that, Bai Zhixi squatted down and looked at First Madam who was crying so bitterly that he did not cry.
”Third Aunt, I'm just going to hang out with a few of my friends and then run out to say that you mistreated me in the past and stole my mother's dowry. These things will ruin your reputation. This early in the morning, you're kowtowing to me to admit your mistake, and you even had people spread rumors that I'm not thinking about Prime Minister's Estate, and not going back to the manor … If you are truly unable to contain me, then I will just move away. Is there a need for you to go through so much trouble? ”
Bai Zhixi's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, her voice was trembling even more, her beautiful face had a look of inferiority, as if she was on the verge of collapse.
Do you want to act? Then I'll play along with you and see what you do when the time comes.
However, when she mentioned her grandfather earlier, she felt a burst of worry. That day, she had openly torn off her relationship with the First Madam and feared that she had offended her for a long time.
If she really wanted a person's life, with her mother's family's power, she had the ability to do so.
However, he was not someone to be trifled with. If anything happened to his grandfather, don't blame her for being ruthless and forgiving.
Once he said that, a few people's eyes started to flicker with words, and stealthily prepared to escape, not wanting to be caught by Lan Yi and the rest who were surrounding them, and be silently escorted to the back of the Love Sea.
”Xi Er, if you aren't thinking for our sake, then aren't you worried about your grandfather? If the Emperor is to blame, who do you think will bear the brunt of it? ”
Caught off guard, First Madam suddenly embraced Bai Zhixi and leaned on her shoulder. The corner of his mouth hooked into a faint smile, as his cold and fierce voice came over.
”What did you do to Grandpa?”
Bai Zhixi suppressed his fury that was about to explode, his gentle voice was full of the feeling of grinding his teeth.
”Do you want to know? Then obediently return to the manor and follow Prince Ling to the Xi Liang. Once my Ru Er has become a princess of the Eastern Region, I will give that old fellow an antidote. Otherwise, you should know my methods! ”
She only wanted her Ru Er to smoothly become the princess, but didn't expect to be screwed up by that idiot Auntie Du. If Bai Zhixi left home, even if father had the power to protect them, she would still be safe. However, Ru'er would never be able to become a princess in her life. She had painstakingly played chess for more than ten years, but she definitely could not lose because of a single Bai Zhixi.
She had no choice but to poison the Old General Bai and spread rumors by means of means, forcing Bai Zhixi to have difficulty standing his ground in capital. She had to follow her back to the manor.
Hearing that, Bai Zhixi's gaze carried a tinge of coldness, and he let go of First Madam, smiling slightly as he replied.
”Third Aunt, aren't you making things difficult for Xi Er by saying that? Do you think a few words can change everyone's opinion of me? Do you think I'm a malicious person? Humans, you still have to speak based on the facts. Otherwise, you might be struck by lightning from the heavens. ”
The crowd wondered what the two of them had said. Bai Zhixi stood up. He greeted her with tears streaming down his face. His voice was trembling, making people feel sorry for him.
”You …”
”Manager Cheng, these are the thieves we caught at the back of the crowd. Seeing that the few of them were secretly preparing to leave, they caught hold of and asked. They did not expect that the First Madam of Prime Minister's Estate had actually bribed them to spread rumors, slandering Miss Bai's innocence. ”
Following which, dozens of ordinary people looking men and women were thrown in front of everyone. When First Madam saw that it was actually one of her subordinates that she had trained with great difficulty, his face paled and he panicked in his heart.
She had wanted to go up and kill them, but she was unable to move her body. She seemed to be thinking about the dowry that day. Looking at the smiling Bai Zhixi, he was inexplicably afraid, but at the same time, there was nothing he could do.
No, the dozens of men and women told her what she had instructed them to do, even distorting many facts.
When the First Madam heard this, she closed her eyes in despair. She knew that she had lost this battle completely, and that her loss had been a complete mess.
However, she didn't care. She still had a trump card that she could play.
”What?” Third Aunt, why did you treat me like this? ”
After Bai Zhixi finished listening to all of these things, her beautiful little face was filled with panic and fear as she looked at First Madam. Her voice was filled with an indescribable fear, but there was a hint of unwillingness.
