McQueen stood in front of Bai Zhi, his entire body radiating a murderous aura.

"This is under the emperor's nose; let's see who dares to be arrogant!"

Looking at the girl in front of her, Bai Zhi inexplicably thought of Qiao Zixi.

She hadn't met many people, but apart from Qiao Zixi, the only one so arrogant was the person in front of her.

"I have never met this girl before, yet she not only tries to steal my things but also wants to cut out my tongue. This is far too unreasonable!"

"Ha! Reason?! The Bai family is reason! If you want me to let you go, fine, but you must change your name to 'Bitch' and then kneel down and kowtow to me three times. Otherwise, I'll leave your tongue behind!"

Bai Zhi frowned. So they were from the Bai family!

That's incredibly arrogant!

"I am a member of the Su family, what right do you have to force me to change my name! And so what if I'm a member of the Bai family? The Bai family also abides by the law!"

He then shouted to the onlookers, "Everyone, come and see! The Bai family is bullying people!"

Bai Zi trembled with rage and said in a hateful voice, "You are just a lowly servant, how dare you share the same name as me! I only asked you to change your name because I was afraid you would use our Bai family's name to swindle and deceive people!"

Bai Zhi loudly proclaimed to the people around her, "I have been an orphan since I was a child. After being bought by the Su family, the master named me Bai Zhi. Bai Zhi uses its root as medicine and has the effects of dispelling dampness, draining pus and promoting tissue regeneration, and promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. It is a commonly used medicinal herb."

The reason my grandfather gave me this name was to mean that even though I am ordinary, I am still very useful!

I never expected that my ordinary name would be matched with Miss Bai's. What a coincidence!

But then she immediately changed the subject, "So what if we share the same name? Which law in Qi states that ordinary people cannot share a name with someone from the Bai family! Looking across the entire Qi state, only the current emperor's name needs to be avoided. Does the Bai family have any intention of rebelling?"

Bai Zi is only fourteen years old this year. When she heard Bai Zhi's last words, she immediately panicked.

"You...you're talking nonsense! The Bai family doesn't exist! Besides, my name is Mu Xinzi, not that worthless medicinal herb you're talking about!"

"If that's the case, then why did Miss Bai come to cause me trouble? Also, Miss Bai and I have never met, so how did Miss Bai know my name?"

Bai Zi panicked even more upon hearing this.

She had just run into her cousin, Bai Mengying, who said, "Everyone says our Bai family is powerful and wealthy, but in the end, we're not even as good as a small Su family. Outsiders say I'm heartless, but Su Muxi killed so many beggars outside the city and no one said a word... It's really unfair!"

Oh, by the way, that maid in the green dress actually shares the same name as my sister.

It's a pity that my sister was implicated because of me, and now she's even worse off than a maid…

After news of Bai Mengying's seemingly benevolent face but venomous heart spread, the Bai family daughter, who was once sought after by aristocratic families, now has no market.

Even the marriage that was already being discussed has disappeared without a trace.

Although Bai Zi is not yet of marriageable age and is not in a hurry to get married, she has still been affected by it.

Bai Zi didn't take it seriously at first. By the time she came of age, the matter would have long passed. Because of her status as a daughter of the Bai family, the noble young men in the capital would definitely come and wear down her doorstep.

However, she couldn't stand hearing Bai Mengying say that she was inferior to a maid. She immediately sought out Bai Zhi, wanting to teach the other party a lesson.

He's just a lowly servant; how can he be compared to her!

I never expected Bai Zhi to be so sharp-tongued.

They actually accused the Bai family of treason.

She hurriedly looked behind her, and only when she saw the white figure slowly walking towards her did she feel relieved.

Although Bai Mengying was wearing a veil, Bai Zhi recognized her at a glance.

"Little sister, are you alright?"

Bai Mengying looked worried and looked Bai Zi up and down as she spoke. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Bai Zi was alright.

Seeing Bai Mengying's reaction, Bai Zhi couldn't help but sneer: "Princess Chang Le may not know, but this Miss Bai is going to have my tongue cut out. You should be worried about me. Miss Bai is a member of the Bai family, so who can do anything to her!"

"How dare you! You are but a lowly servant girl, how dare you speak to the princess like that!"

Upon hearing this, Mingyan rebuked her sternly.

Bai Mengying took Bai Zi's hand and gently advised, "Zi'er, let's leave quickly. If we continue to make trouble, it will definitely not end well."

She then leaned close to Bai Zi's ear and whispered, "So many beggars were killed without warning. I was just worried about my sister's safety."

Bai Zi grew up in luxury and couldn't stand being compared to those lowly people.

Hearing Bai Mengying compare her to a beggar, she instantly became angry again.

"I refuse to believe that Su Muxi can really kill me! She may be capable of killing those beggars, but she wouldn't dare lay a finger on me!"

Bai Zhi frowned. "Explain yourself! Who killed the beggar! My young lady is always kind-hearted and only knows how to save people. She would never kill anyone! No matter who you are, you can't smear my young lady!"

But McQueen, who was standing to the side, became nervous upon hearing this.

That day in the dilapidated temple, he killed dozens of beggars. Afterwards, he considered killing them all to avoid making a scene.

But the princess refused, saying that they should just bury the people, and that the living beggars wouldn't say anything.

He thought about it and agreed. The beggars he killed were all evil people, and the surviving beggars must have been bullied by them often. He had done his part in ridding those beggars of a menace.

He also went to see the beggars afterward and told them not to talk nonsense.

Didn't expect the news to leak out in the end?

Seeing the nervous look on Mai Kun's face, Bai Mengying said softly to Bai Zhi, "Miss, no one is trying to smear your young lady. You might as well ask the guard next to you. He should know the truth."

"Furthermore, your young lady is always kind-hearted, only knowing how to save people and never killing them, while I am a saint with a snake's heart?"

As she spoke, her eyes showed grievance, and she gave a bitter smile.

"Oh!"

"Forget it, time will tell. I don't want to argue with you about this."

After saying that, he took Bai Zi's hand.

"Little sister Zi'er, please come with me, I'm begging you."

As everyone watched Bai Mengying and her group leave, they all wore thoughtful expressions.

Could there be more to the story between Bai Mengying and Su Muxi?

After all, Princess Chang Le didn't seem like a heartless person at all.
