Chapter 1077: Playing dumb
Obviously, if she wanted to know why, she should take this trip in the most straightforward way.
She wanted to see what Madam Meng want to do to her at Meng Family Mansion, and how big her courage was.
Bai Zhi got up and said to the old mama: “Carry your madam to the back hall.”
Not long after, two maidservants came over, and under the command of the old mama, they helped Madam Meng to go to the back hall.
Bai Zhi followed slowly and left the hall under the watchful eyes of all the guests.
As soon as Bai Zhi left, the hall became noisy again.
The seat next to Prince Jin was vacant.
But just when these famous ladies were hesitating whether or not to strike up a conversation, and in what way to strike up a conversation, Prince Jin got up.
There were six tables in this hall, all fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls were all seating. While the married noble ladies who accompanied them were eating in another hall.
Most of them were not allowed to go outside, and at this age, when they see a man like Prince Jin, how can they not be tempted?
They were all famous ladies. So although their hearts were already in full swing, they were still reserved on the surface. Of course, some were not so reserved, and their courage was fat and big.
For example, the second young lady of the Ji Family. Her father was the deputy secretary of the General Administration. She was fifteen years old, and her appearance was ordinary, but her courage was different from ordinary people’s.
When Prince Jin first came to this hall, she wanted to come up and talk to him. Unfortunately, Prince Jin went straight to Bai Zhi’s table and didn’t give her a chance at all, so she quietly and secretly observed Prince Jin and Bai Zhi.
Seeing that Prince Jin was gentle and considerate to that Bai Zhi, he personally served her dishes, and from time to time he bowed his head and whispered in her ears to joke with her. Such a man, even if he was not a noble, even if he was just a civilian, was enough to make her fall in love.
At this time, Bai Zhi left with Madam Meng, and Prince Jin was alone. Her chance finally came, how could she miss it?
Second Miss Ji quickly detoured and rushed in front of Prince Jin.
Then, the routine and vulgar scene played. Second Miss Ji pretended to slip and fell backward, just when Prince Jin walked behind her.
At such an event, as a man, isn’t it normal to reach out to help a lady who was about to fall?
How many good stories in the world were helped out by this inadvertent helping hand, right?
However, what was shocking was that even though Second Miss Ji slipped toward Prince Jin, Prince Jin avoided her sideways as if he didn’t see it. He didn’t even turn around, he simply just walked away.
Like before, nothing seemed like happened… …
There was silence in the hall. Even Second Miss Ji was stunned, she didn’t cry in pain. She just stared blankly at Prince Jin’s handsome back who left without hesitation… …
“What are you still doing? Why don’t you help me get up?” Second Miss Ji regained her senses first. Her buttocks almost bloom from the fall. The pain was terrible, but the maidservant who came with her was still stunned. She didn’t try to help her.
Low laughter sounded in the hall. Hearing those sounds, Second Miss Ji felt like her ears were stabbed by a knife.
No matter how daring and thick-skinned she was, she couldn’t accept being laughed at by the people in the hall.
Her phoenix eyes immediately turned red, but she glared at the girls next to her and ran away angrily.

As soon as Bai Zhi arrived at the back hall with Madam Meng, she took out silver needles. And when she was about to pierce Madam Meng with the needle, the old mama quickly stood in front of the bed to stop her.
“No, no, you absolutely can’t.” The old lady mama knew in her heart that their madam was pretending to be dizzy. If she was stabbed by the needle, she would get sick even if she was not sick. What should she do by then?
