The next day, after the morning court Wu steel out of the palace door, just saw Duke Jingxi Bai Hexi.

Bai Hexi was in his mid-thirties and his face was pale without a beard. He gave off a refined feeling. The two sisters, Bai Zhiling and Bai Tinglan, were more similar to Bai Hexi.

"Father-in-law." Baili Xing stepped forward and called out. Bai Hexi hurriedly returned the greeting.

Originally, when Madam Huang wanted to marry Bai Tinglan to Baili Xing, he didn't agree. After all, the candidate for the crown prince wasn't very clear yet.

However, he couldn't take Madam Huang's side view, so he weighed Baili Xing's advantages and finally made his decision.

Since the two of them were like grasshoppers on a rope, they naturally had to get closer to each other than the others.

Bai Zhiling was still in Duke Mansion, but it was unknown what Baili Xing's intentions were. In any case, he went with Bai Hexi, saying that he was going to pick her up.

"..."

"Ah …" You, who are you! "

Inside Duke Jingxi's house, a sharp scream suddenly burst out above the calm Duke Mansion, startling everyone in the courtyard to look towards that room.

At this moment, Bai Zhiling, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, smiled and pushed a white jade hairpin into her hair. She stood up and walked out of the room at a leisurely pace.

"Did that cry come from my mother's room? "Hurry, let's go and see what's going on." His face was filled with the perfect amount of worry.

Full Moon was the first to reach Madam Huang's room. Even if Madam Huang's maidservant wanted to, she couldn't stop her.

With a "bang", the door was pushed open heavily. The unbearable scene inside the house was revealed.

"Ah, madam, why is there a man in your room?!"

Bai Zhiling had just walked out of the house when she heard the sharp sound of the full moon. Her lips curled up into a smile. What a good child!

At this moment, Madam Huang's face was filled with fear as she stared at the man she kicked to the ground. She was completely naked, and could only use a blanket to cover her body. The man on the ground had taken off only his underpants.

"Heavens! Wh-what is going on?" "Mother, you, how could you …"

Bai Zhiling was' shocked 'by the scene before her as soon as she entered the door. She had a look of disbelief on her face.

When Madam Huang heard her voice, she finally came back to her senses. Clenching her fists tightly, she quickly calmed down. "Wu Mama, lock up the entire courtyard! Nobody is allowed to take even half a step out of the courtyard!"

Madam Huang had been in charge of the Duke Mansion for many years, so it wasn't difficult for her to take care of such a small matter.

"Mother, who is this man? You all … how could you all …"

The man sitting on the ground came to his senses and looked at Madam Huang, unsure of what to say.

"No, no!" Why did this man appear here? It was obvious that he was going to Bai Zhiling's little slut's house!

"Yes …" Mother can't stand being lonely and having a little lover outside? " Bai Zhiling suddenly sat down on a chair and looked at Madam Huang.

Looking at her expression, Madam Huang's heart skipped a beat.

No matter what happened, as long as news of this got out, besides dying, she would have to go to the temple and be a sister-in-law. This was not something she would choose!

"Someone, a thief has barged into Princess Yun's courtyard! Hurry up and kill him!"

Bai Zhiling had to admit, Madam Huang's reaction was fast.

However, when maidservant came in, Bai Zhiling stepped on the man's wrist.

"Ah!" It hurts, it hurts … Madam, please save me! Madam, please save me!

His previous self had some skill, but if he were to exert his full strength, it wouldn't be something an ordinary person could withstand.

"What are you doing!"

"Even if it's a thief, it's still to be sent to the government. Where would one be able to kill himself in the mansion? This is a lynching."

In Little Zhou Country, only servants who sold their bodies could be allowed to be killed by the main house. Even if it was a thief, as long as it was a good citizen, they had no right to handle it in private.

"You, you …" No matter how foolish Madam Huang was, she could tell that something was amiss. This little bitch had clearly come prepared! Just tell me why she insisted on keeping her last night!

"All of you, get out!" Madam Huang couldn't help but ask.

maidservant exchanged a glance and retreated obediently.

Bai Zhiling's feet moved and knocked the man out.

Only two people remained awake in the room.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Madam Huang still couldn't figure out how her plan had been seen through by Bai Zhiling, that idiot.

Sitting here negotiating meant that they were completely falling out with each other, and there was no need to pretend.

"To get back what belongs to me."

Madam Huang sneered disdainfully. What do you have in the Duke Mansion … " However, she stopped midsentence and looked at Bai Zhiling with a ferocious expression.

It was true that Bai Zhiling did not have much on the Duke Mansion, but her mother, the Jiang family did.

Jiang Family was a family of the wealthiest in Jiangnan. Back then, when their daughter got married, the dowry made countless people envious.

Ever since the Jiang family passed away, her dowry was held in Madam Huang's hands. Even if Bai Zhiling were to marry, she had only taken out extremely rare items. The good items were either given to Bai Tinglan, or they were all kept in her own residence!

"You've thought of it?" Bai Zhiling was in no hurry.

Originally, she didn't plan to go this way. However, after thinking about what Madam Huang and her daughter had done all these years, if she really let them get away with it, then she would really let down her dead mother from before.

Therefore, it should be hers. She would definitely return with nothing left!

"I've already given you your mother's dowry."

Bai Zhiling took out two sheets from her clothes at a leisurely pace.

"This is my mother's dowry list, and this is mine. I believe Mrs Duke Jingxi knows how much of the stuff is lacking."

She still had a list!

Madam Huang widened her eyes in anger.

"Since you gave it to Bai Tinglan, I won't bother with it anymore. After all, she still has to burn incense in front of my mother's memorial tablet every new year. You know what to do with the rest."

Madam Huang's heart was filled with hatred, but she didn't feel any pain even though her palm was bleeding from the pinching!

All those years ago, the dowry of the Jiang Clan was of the highest quality. She couldn't even bear to give Bai Tinglan more dowry. How could she throw up now?!

"Don't forget, who is in charge of Duke Jingxi Manor now!" As long as she dealt with all the distrustful people in the courtyard, no one would know! It wasn't impossible for him to blame Bai Zhiling at that time.

"Right now, it should be time for the assembly. Father will be back soon for breakfast, so mother should make up her mind earlier." My skill is not that great, but it's not impossible for me to hold on until Father comes back. " Madam Huang knew Bai Hexi better than anyone else that he would go back to his house to eat breakfast before going to work every day.

When Bai Hexi returned, there would be no one in the mansion, so he would definitely be suspicious.

"Wu …"

Before Madam Huang could finish her sentence, Bai Zhiling stepped forward and grabbed her throat.

It was so powerful that Madam Huang could barely breathe.

"You, you actually dare …"

"Don't test my patience!"

"Madam, Madam, the old master is back! The old master is back!"
