This furious rebuke scared Bai Yinan to the point that he trembled. His legs went weak and he was about to kneel down, but Bai Zheng seemingly carelessly held him by the elbow, only then did he regain his senses.

Bai Zheng lowered her eyes, her long bangs blocking her face, causing people to be unable to see her expression clearly: "Grandmother, please calm your anger, what mistake has Zheng committed?"

Madame Hee raised her eyebrows, "What's wrong with that? You ignored your parents and voluntarily withdrew from your marriage with Mansion of Prime Minister, and even disregarded your sisterhood by slandering your Second Elder Sister in public. I actually do not know when our Bai Family has given birth to such an ingrate like you! "

"I heard that Miss Bai had harshly accused my son of being heartless and slandering my son for accepting things in secret. I wonder how Assistant Minister Bai is usually taught by her family and how your daughter is so impudent!" Prime Minister Chu's indifferent gaze swept across Bai Zheng, staring at him coldly.

Actually, Prime Minister Chu, who heard of this the other day, was extremely pleased with the matter of annulling the marriage between the daughter of a mere grade three assistant minister.

However, as the corruption case gradually calmed down, there was actually a voice that began to spread widely, saying that Mansion of Prime Minister Young Master was dissolute, and deserved to be annulled.

Where would he put his old face?

Hearing the words private lesson, Madame Hee remembered Bai Di's gloomy expression these few days. Her heart immediately ached, and she pointed at Bai Zheng: "Evil creature! It was fortunate that Di took the opportunity to chant Buddha to keep you safe a few days ago. Who would have thought that her first cousin would slander her like that! "

Zheng has always respected her own sister, so how could she frame Di! As for this marriage … Prime Minister Chu, as fathers, you and I should know the feelings Zheng holds towards the Young Master Chu. If not for the fact that Zheng really hurt her heart this time, she would not have reneged on the marriage … "

Bai Yinan had always been a filial child, so when he saw his old mother angry, he did not know what to do. Fortunately, after so many years of experience protecting his daughter, he was not scared out of his mind.

"Assistant Minister Bai, this means that you are going to prove the ruthlessness of your Chu Family? This marriage was originally set up by Old General Bai and Prime Minister Mu when you were still alive. Your Bai Family suddenly cancelled the marriage, and some people might even think that this uncle of yours had some sort of shameful illness that caused Miss Bai to look down on you! " Feng Jingye said coldly.

Seeing that Bai Zheng had kept her head down and did not speak, Bai Yinan was once again choked with emotions. Feng Jingyi could not bear to do it, so she coughed lightly in an attempt to break the siege.

"Since the ancient times, this woman's thoughts are the most difficult to fathom. I heard that Miss Bai has loved Sir Chu Feng for a long time, this matter of annulling the engagement must have been Miss Bai's impulsive words, how could he be willing to break it?"

Bai Zheng's mouth twitched. This Feng Jingyi had the best character out of all the nine princes that Feng Linche had talked about.

However, if he knew that he was the one who cheated on him before, he wouldn't have been so kind to help him today, right?

She gave a cold laugh and said.

"Zheng has indeed admired Big Brother Chu Feng in the past. Only after experiencing so much, Zheng was already disheartened to begin with. Back then, when Mansion of Prime Minister's Servant Xin insulted Zheng, saying that he was not worthy enough for the Young Master Chu, Zheng suddenly realized that if she still refused to let go of the marriage, it would be useless no matter who it was.

At that time, not only would Bai Mansion be affected, the entire Yongding City would also be a joke. It's just that after Zheng lost her grandfather, her uncle didn't feel pain, her grandmother didn't love it, and she allowed the servants of Mansion of Prime Minister to bully him, not daring to say a word and end the engagement. "

Bai Zheng had a wronged look on her face as she spoke in a helpless tone, her tone carrying a sense of righteousness.

However, the meaning behind her words was that his Mansion of Prime Minister had gone too far, to the point where she even dared to spout nonsense towards a mere servant. She simply did not put Bai Mansion in her eyes at all.

At this time, Madame Hee was still standing on the other side of the Mansion of Prime Minister, questioning Bai Zheng. Didn't this just fit the words of Bai Zheng, "Big Uncle doesn't hurt, Grandmother doesn't love"?

Feng Jingye's face alternated between green and white, while Prime Minister Chu's face was so dark that he could squeeze out Mo.

Madame Hee was so angry that her hands were trembling. "You're blaming your uncle, blaming me, your grandmother, for not protecting my granddaughter properly and helping outsiders to bully you?"

"Zheng did not dare. Zheng can only blame herself for being fortunate and not getting married in the way her grandfather left him. " Bai Zheng sighed.

The corner of Feng Jingyi's mouth twitched. It looks like he didn't have to worry, this girl wasn't just casually bullied.

Feng Jingye's gaze focused, as he scrutinized the girl in front of him who was dressed in a goose yellow dress, with a green jade hairpin between her hair.

He had thought that she would just be a little girl, and would be so scared that she would plead for mercy with just a few casual words. At that time, he would naturally ask for's forgiveness by changing her to his first or second daughter, Bai Sheng.

Chu Family gained both fame and profit, and his position as crown prince was also more stable.

He didn't expect to run into such a tough bone.

He coldly looked at Bai Yinan, "Assistant Minister Bai just came out of the justice courts and has already forgotten the days of being worried and afraid inside?

Miss Bai doesn't understand, and doesn't know what it means to you, Bai Mansion, to break off your marriage.

"Prince has rushed away many times because of father's injustice. Zheng thanks him. But Zheng has already made up her mind about annulling the engagement. "

She would never forget that ever since something had happened to Bai Yinan, Mansion of Prime Minister was the first time she had jumped out and shouted that the marriage was to be annulled, and she took a step on it.

Seeing that Bai Zheng was not going to give up, the Prime Minister Chu was angered and said coldly, "Although the case has been settled, we have not found the two hundred thousand silver taels that we lost …" With that, he turned and looked at Feng Jingye.

Feng Jingye understood and continued: "That's right, since this crown prince found out that this case was the doing of a Xiliang spy, then naturally, I can find out the whereabouts of those two hundred thousand silver coins. Since Miss Bai insists on annulling the engagement today, don't blame me for not reminiscing about our previous marriage! "

Bai Zheng clenched her teeth, this was an undisguised threat to him.

With regards to the loss of two hundred thousand silver taels, the emperor Feng Linche was furious.

Although the floods and floods had retreated, it would still take a large amount of silver to repair and pacify the affected people. However, the Great Zhou Treasury might not be able to afford the money now.

It would be better to...

Bai Zheng thought for a while, then raised her head and said: "If Zheng can help Prince remove the worry in his heart, I wonder if Your Highness will agree to Zheng's request to cancel the engagement?"
