Chapter 235 What a Brainless Person

"Major General Nangong, could you please...give the Shangguan family a favor and not bring this up with the Jingzhao Yin?"

"This... I can't make the decision, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless she asks Marshal Bai for forgiveness, no one can save her!"

What a brainless person! Bai Li is now the savior of the entire Great Zhou. I don’t know whether others recognize her or not, but the emperor has recognized her.

How stupid must she be to cause trouble for someone when he's at the peak of his career?

Mrs. Wu returned to her master and whispered Nangong Min's proposal.

"You want me to admit my mistake and apologize to her? Impossible!"

Shangguan Ying could no longer hold it in, and her voice was so high-pitched and sharp that it could be heard five miles away.

When the others heard this, they all curled their lips. "Miss Shangguan has truly been spoiled by her family. Not only did she slander Marshal Bai for no reason, but she also refused to admit her mistakes. She deserves to be appointed Jingzhao Yin!"

"Marshal Bai is a skilled martial artist. Just look at what he did. How could she slander him? Only those fools would believe it!"

Li Yue's cold voice was neither too loud nor too low, just loud enough for everyone around to hear.

He was so brainless just now, but now his face is red with shame and he wants to dig a hole in the ground to hide.

"These are all rumors spread by Miss Shangguan. She herself was sent home from the military camp because of her poor martial arts skills, but she insisted on smearing them."

"That's right, we were all unaware and were used to trusting the Shangguan family. Who would have known that such a large family would have a few bad apples that would ruin the entire family's reputation!"

"Is the person next to him also from the Shangguan family? He looks like a slave, not a servant. I don't know who he is!"

"This is a palace banquet, why are you bringing in all sorts of random people? It's lowering our status!"

Li Yue finished speaking coldly and wanted to step back, but found that he was surrounded by people, and their gossipy eyes were sparkling, waiting to see Shangguan Ying's apology!

Shangguan Ying was being framed by people all over the place, and she knew that her reputation was ruined today.

She couldn't help but transfer her anger to others.

"It's all your fault, you troublemaker! You pushed me to come and watch the fun, and then you pushed me to frame others. You're just a concubine who's not worthy of public appearances, and you only know the secrets of the inner chambers!"

Bai Yue was pushed in front of the crowd by Shangguan Ying and was scolded.

When she looked up and saw the contemptuous looks from the people around her, her face turned red and white.

All she can show off now is her identity, a member of the Shangguan family.

However, she did not expect that her humble status as a concubine would be so blatantly revealed by her sister-in-law in public and in front of Bai Li.

In an instant, her expression changed drastically, and she glared at Bai Li with resentment.

"It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, how could I be despised like this now? Are you happy now?"

Bai Li listened to every word around her, but she stroked the horse's head unmoved, not even glancing at Bai Yue who was jumping around like a clown.

Only now was she completely convinced that the horse had calmed down.

At Bai Li's signal, a young girl got off the carriage. As soon as she saw Nangong Min, she ran towards him crying.

"Brother, I was scared to death just now!"

"Cousin? Why is it you!"

"Brother, grandmother and aunt are behind. I, I was brought here in the carriage by Ma. If I hadn't been rescued by Marshal Bai, I would have been..."

Nangong Min approached Bai Li with his cousin: "Thank you for saving my cousin."

"You're welcome. I'll save them no matter who they are."

Bai Li's stiff and distant attitude made Nangong Min feel inexplicably panicked.

"The Jingzhao Yin is incompetent. Why hasn't he taken any action yet?"

Bai Li's gaze passed Nangong Min and fell behind him, and he pretended to ask someone else about the Jingzhao Yin - Li Mingxuan.

Li Mingxuan's back stiffened, and he felt the glare from behind him like a real knife. After hearing those words of doubt, he turned around and gave Nangong Min a helpless look.

"Miss Shangguan, would you please come with me?"

"No! I don't want to go to Jingzhao Yin!"

"Brother Nangong, save me!"

Nangong Min's face froze, and he growled, "Shut up!"

Turning around, he saw Bai Li with a mocking look on her face and a cold smile on her lips. He became anxious and grabbed her arm.

"Bai Li!"

"What do you want to do?"

Bai Li raised her eyes and looked at him coldly, with a strange and distant look in her eyes.

"Why, Miss Shangguan slandered me in public on the street, slandering the soldiers of the Great Zhou fighting the foreign enemy on the battlefield, and Major General Nangong wants to absolve her of responsibility?"

Nangong Min was irritated by her eyes and couldn't help but said hurriedly: "Bai Li? That's not the case!"

"Major General Nangong, you've crossed the line!"

Bai Li's anger was successfully aroused, but unfortunately someone was still unaware of it.

Nangong Min frowned, with helplessness and anger in his eyes.

He didn't know what he was angry about.

Bai Li looked at him coldly, then her gaze fell back on his hands, trying hard to suppress her anger.

Wu Lanzhi was confused and didn't know why the two of them suddenly became like this.

Before, she had seen the two of them talking and laughing, exchanging glances, and she thought they were in a relationship!

Luo Yang's fists clenched and unclenched, and then clenched and unclenched again.

Seeing the two people in a stalemate, he coughed twice and stepped forward to help.

"Major General Nangong, Marshal Bai, if you have something to say, please talk it over. There's no need to argue..."

"Get out of here!"

"Get out of the way!"

The two spoke almost at the same time. Luo Yang's face turned red and he retreated angrily.

He is of low status now and has no qualifications or rights to interfere in her affairs...

"She has done something wrong and must bear the consequences. If she doesn't apologize publicly to me, how can we appease the anger of those soldiers who fought bravely for the Great Zhou?"

"I'm talking about you. What does it have to do with the soldiers of Da Zhou?"

"Heh, I led over 10,000 defenders in the battle of Yuanzhou and annihilated Simon's army of 200,000. If you can even question this as a lie, then don't you think all my soldiers are just good-for-nothings?!"

"No! I didn't say that!"

"That's enough, Miss Shangguan. There are so many people watching. The evidence of your slandering Marshal Bai is irrefutable. There's no room for excuses!"

When Li Mingxuan thought about the emperor's attitude towards Bai Li a few days ago, which was almost like worshipping her, he felt a chill down his spine, and a chill ran up from his heels.

He had finally obtained this official position, and he couldn't let the Shangguan family ruin it!

"Miss Shangguan, please!"

The voice was cold and authoritative, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Miss, please listen to my advice!"

Mrs. Wu was about to cry. If the young lady became the Jingzhao Yin today, she would probably have no way to survive if she returned!

"She said all that. Tell her to kneel down and apologize!"

Shangguan Ying couldn't avoid it, so she pulled a scapegoat and pushed Bai Yue in front of Bai Li.

"Yes, she was jealous of my cousin and spread rumors and slandered her. She was asked to kowtow and apologize!"

After saying that, he kicked Bai Yue in the knee. Bai Yue lost her balance and fell to her knees in front of Bai Li with a thump.

The crisp sound of bones hitting the stone slabs makes people feel painful!
