Chapter 548 Making Trouble at the Li Residence

"I didn't think much about it before, but now that you've said it, I feel like something's not right."

The prefect's wife died during childbirth, along with her unborn child, and the prefect himself married a new wife in a grand ceremony just seven days later.

Now that I think about it, the day the prefect married his new wife was the seventh day after the death of his late wife and young master. Aren't they afraid that the ghosts of his late wife and young master will come back to settle scores with them?

"That's why we've come looking for you. It was haunted last night."

"The prefect did not do this properly. His wife and children have just passed away. Even if he wants to remarry, he should wait a while. I have never seen anyone in such a hurry."

He'd heard that the prefect's wife was from the Bai family in the capital, so he wasn't afraid that the Bai family would come after him.

The Lady of the Prophet's Palace was such a good person, what a pity.........................”

Bai Ming was very satisfied with the rumors circulating on the street; it seemed that Li Ming was not a good official after all.

Li Ming is the prefect of Nanzha City, which is considered a high-ranking official position in Nanzha City. I wonder if he will be able to go to the Li residence smoothly today.

Just as Bai Ming was worrying, someone from the inn delivered a token.

Bai Minghua bought a wet nurse and a maid from a slave trader at a high price.

The Bai family doesn't lack servants; their main need is for someone to feed the children and take care of Bai Zhi in Nanzha City these past two days.

Back at the inn, Bai Ming stared blankly at the token Ning Bao handed him.

"How did this token end up here? Was it delivered by someone?"

Ning Bao nodded.

"Senior Brother, someone came as soon as you stepped out. That person was carrying a letter and this token."

It is said that the Second Prince heard that you came to help Sister Bai get revenge, and thought you might be of use, so he had you sent here.

He said that although he, as a prince, had little real power in the capital, he could still intimidate people in a small place like Nanzha City by wielding his identity token.

Bai Ming accepted the token.

"The second prince is not bad, it's just a pity that being born into the royal family means he has too much lack of freedom."

With this token, things should go much more smoothly today.

"Is Senior Brother planning to go to the Li family to avenge Sister Bai?"

Bai Ming shook his head.

“You can vent your anger slowly. We can go and get Zhi’er’s dowry and divorce papers first.”

As for the others, you can take your time playing them.

"Then I'll go with my senior brother."

Bai Ming frowned.

"I can go by myself, you stay here and get some rest."

Hearing that Bai Ming wouldn't let her go, Ning Bao couldn't help but puff out her little face, looking a bit unhappy.

Bai Ming shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, you can go if you want, but you have to wear men's clothing."

Ning Bao had no objection to wearing men's clothing. To be honest, she preferred simple and neat men's clothing to complicated women's clothing.

Ning Bao had a lot of men's clothing in her storage talisman. She casually picked one up and changed into it, also adding a folding fan.

Bai Ming frowned as he looked at Ning Bao, who was still very handsome even dressed in men's clothing.

"Come here, let me help you get dressed."

Bai Ming took out a bottle of medicine and applied it to Ning Bao's face with a cotton swab. Her previously fair and delicate skin had now turned into a healthy wheat color, making her look like a young man.

Bai Ming took a look and was very satisfied.

"Being too beautiful at your age can easily attract trouble, although we're not afraid of trouble..."

That's much better. Sometimes handsome men are more dangerous than beautiful women.

Ningbao looked at her skin and was very satisfied.

"Senior Brother, you're amazing! I used to dress up as a man, but because my skin was too fair and delicate, people always recognized me."

"Now we shouldn't be discovered."

After Ning Bao was dressed up, both her senior and junior brother were very satisfied. They instructed Leng Bing to stay at the inn to take care of Bai Zhi and the child.

Although Bai Ming bought a wet nurse and servants today, they didn't know much about these newly bought people, so they dared not entrust Bai Zhi and her child to them.

Going to ask for a dowry definitely requires a certain presence, and Bai Ming and Ning Bao alone don't seem to have enough presence, so they didn't bring many people with them this time.

Just now, Bai Ming happened to pass by a security escort agency on his way to the brokerage firm.

Bai Ming had a sudden inspiration and directly hired a dozen or so strong young men from the escort agency.

Seeing the dozen or so young men dressed in identical clothes waiting at the inn's entrance, Ning Bao instantly felt an overwhelming sense of security.

"Senior Brother, are we going to get into a group fight?"

Ning Bao could take on ten men by himself, no... I could take on twenty.

As Ning Bao spoke, she clenched her fist and showed off her "strong" arm.

Bai Ming helplessly raised his hand to stop her.

"We won't fight today. The Bai family are reasonable people. The main purpose today is the divorce agreement and the dowry."

The group was quite imposing, attracting the attention of people on the street as soon as they left the inn.

"Did you hear that? I think I just heard them mentioning the Bai family..."

"Could it be the Bai family, the former prefect's wife?"

Ningbao, with her exceptionally sharp ears, overheard the words of the woman standing nearby watching the commotion. She raised her little face and looked at the woman with a serious expression.

"Yes, we are the Bai family."

"Young man, are you going to the Li family's house?"

Ning Bao nodded.

"Yes, Auntie, let's go to the Li family's house."

When my eldest sister Bai Zhi married into the Li family, Li Ming was just a minor county magistrate, and his family was extremely poor.

Thanks to my eldest sister's dowry, Li Ming has been able to live a good life all these years and socialize outside without any worries.

I never imagined that now that he's so successful, he would harm my sister Bai and her child.

He thought they were being so discreet that the Bai family wouldn't know?

Don't forget what the Bai family does.

"Our Bai family are reasonable people. We don't dwell on the past. We've come here today hoping to get back Sister Bai's dowry and the divorce papers."

The old woman paused for a moment, her face full of curiosity.

"Young man, wasn't the prefect's wife already..."

Ningbao made a sad expression.

“My eldest sister was unhappy in the Li family. Whether she lives or dies, we don’t want her to have anything to do with the Li family anymore. So we want Zhang to sign a divorce agreement so that she will just be a Bai family girl.”

"Alas! The Lady of the Prophet's Palace is a pitiful woman. If it were me, I certainly wouldn't want to look at the Li family again..."

Ning Bao heard the murmurs that quickly spread behind him and felt very satisfied...................
