Chapter 43 - My name is Bai Fangzu

"Alright, what do you want? and who are you?"

Ronglou knew that she had no way out. Unfortunately, this body of hers was weak. Although she didn't know any qing gong in her previous life, she was still capable. Right now, she probably can't even swat a fly.

"My name is Bai Fangzu. It's my pleasure saving the Prime Minister's Eldest Daughter, Yu Ronglou. I admit I wasn't expecting that the person I saved had such a high esteemed status. Do forgive me for being blunt and harsh earlier." Bai Fangzu bowed. Although his family was noble, it was still a rank lower than the Yu Residence.

"Bai Fangzu". She rolled the name on her tongue. Why was is familiar? It seems that she had heard that name before, but where? She closed her eyes, trying to recall the name from her previous life. Ronglou knew that she had heard that name before, but where?

Seeing her in deep thoughts, he added. "The Bai Family has been a rank lower than the Yu Residence. My father is Bai Gongzhu of the Department of Justice."

Ronglou's eyes widen. "Department of Justice, Bai Gongzhu." She repeated the words as she finally recalled where she had heard his name. "Are you his third young master from the first wife, Jiang Chenyu?"

"Indeed. My mother is Jiang Chenyu. Have you heard about me?" Bai Fangzu stared at Yu Ronglou.

Luckily, she didn't forget. She almost did but luck was always on her side. Bai Fangzu died when he was 18 years old. Murdered by the First Young Master Bai Xuanwu.

"How old are you now?" She asked.

"I am 18 this year. Why?" Bai Fangzu was confused to where the topic was leading to.

Instead of answering, she tried hard to remember how he died. Remember! Think! Think! If the timeline is right, he would die this year. Unfortunately, she wasn't enthusiastic about anything at this age unless Xu Fengxin was involved. That's why when she heard this news in her previous life, she heard it being gossiped in town. She only ignored it and went ahead of her life.

No wonder that she didn't saw him at court! He died before he could even take the Imperial Exam! This is bad. Should she save him by warning him? If she does, isn't that changing someone's course in life?

Although she had helped Chen Jiazu and Gu Hongfe, everything still happened in her previous life. It wasn't like she changed anything, just letting them have their happiness at a much earlier time.

But she owes him her life. This is the reason why she was hesitant. Ronglou was always the type of person that returns the favor that she owes. She knew she had heard how he died, just that, she couldn't recall them at the moment.

"Is something wrong? Are you in pain?" Bai Fangzu was worried. He had seen Yu Ronglou constantly rubbing her temples.

"No. I'm fine. How long was I out? Where are we?" Huangyu must've been worried about her since she didn't show up. Hongfe would be informed, thus his men should also be looking for her.

"Not that long. It's roughly about to get dark. We're still in Guang Town. Why? will someone be looking for you?" Although he wasn't that good in martial arts, he was smart.

He wasn't hiding her per se, he was just waiting for the patient to wake up.

"Yes, they should be. Why? Are you trying to kidnap me? I heard that the reward on my head is quite a bit of gold." It sounded like she was a criminal, why do they gave a bounty? Oh, Emperor. Please save my innocence.

Bai Fangzu smirked. He wasn't interested in gold. He was more interested in this woman. What was the reason why she chose to run away? His life had been a constant dull. In the Bai Residence, it was like they have their own personal war. The male will fight for honor and compete with each other. While the woman will try to gain the Head Master Bai's favor and secretly scheme with one another.

Although he was the son of the first wife, he was the weakest of the bunch. He did excel in his studies and was planning to take the Imperial Exam next year. Unfortunately, his father deals with strength rather than brains. He favored his two elder brothers for their strength. Making him carefree and lax.
