"Mr. Du, please stay. I think Miss Bai has made it very clear that you are not welcome in the Prime Minister's Mansion. You should know your place, right?"
The Regent, who had been standing quietly by and watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke, which not only surprised Du Wenqing, but also puzzled Bai Shu.
[Why did the Regent suddenly speak up for me? ]
[I must have been captivated by Susu's charisma! ]
[Does he look like someone who would be charmed by a woman?]
Bai Shu firmly believed that Xiao Moqing was not the kind of person who would easily step into the world of mortals.
[Then you won't be charmed by a man, right...]
The system said uncertainly that there are many strange things in the world, and it can be considered a ruler who has seen big scenes.
【Not sure, let’s see. 】
“…”
Xiao Moqing really wanted to see what was in Bai Shu’s mind, and what exactly was that system that was talking to her?
"Your Highness is right. I will take my leave."
Du Wenqing's face turned pale and red, and he had no idea how to deal with Xiao Moqing.
The Regent and the Prime Minister were not people he could afford to offend, so he had no choice but to swallow this loss.
I calculated in my mind that if I could scrape together the remaining money at home, I should be able to pay off the lunch bill.
…
"Brother Wenqing, this is the pocket money I saved every day. You can use it for emergencies first."
Su Yunxi felt that this was a great opportunity to show off in front of Du Wenqing, so she took advantage of Bai Shu and Xiao Moqing entering the house and hurried to catch up with Du Wenqing.
"Xi'er, how can I take your money?"
Du Wenqing refused, but he was secretly weighing the weight of his wallet.
I couldn't help but think, Su Yunxi is indeed considerate, but Bai Shu is also really a cash cow...
"Brother Wenqing, let's not be so polite to each other. Please accept it."
Su Yunxi's shy appearance immediately aroused the charming thoughts of several young men around her.
I have to say that it is still very enviable that Du Wenqing can play with two girls in the prime minister's mansion by himself.
"Xi'er, I will always remember your silent efforts and will never forget them."
Du Wenqing's face was full of affection, but he couldn't forget Bai Shu's cold face towards him. What happened to her?
…
[Susu, guess what Su Yunxi did? ]
The system has all-powerful connections and can report to Bai Shu at any time.
What else could she do? She'd just use that few ounces of silver, which wasn't presentable, to show off her presence.
Bai Shu understands Su Yunxi. She is willing to invest in Du Wenqing now because she is optimistic about his future success.
But she won't hand over all of them easily, because she is still weighing the other candidates.
Once someone better and who loves her more appears, she will abandon Du Wenqing without hesitation and climb up another high branch.
[Susu is truly invincible! Su Yunxi really went to deliver the silver. Now she probably won't bother to frame Susu anymore, right?]
The system was still thinking about the plot. Before Bai Heng's birthday party, Su Yunxi framed Bai Shu and pushed her into the pond, and won Du Wenqing's love.
Even if the Bai family wanted to protect Bai Shu, they were restrained in front of outsiders and could only try their best to make the matter a big deal.
If the audience doesn't show up, who is she going to perform for?
Bai Shu sneered. If Du Wenqing didn't come, she wouldn't bother herself by trying to sow discord between herself and her family.
Because she knew that she was an outsider and could never compare to their blood ties.
[That’s right.]
Bai Shu and Xiao Moqing walked all the way to the front hall. Bai Heng was originally busy handling official business in the study. Upon hearing the news, he hurried over and asked someone to brew a pot of good tea to entertain the Regent.
"Sister, why are you back so early today?"
Bai Zirong, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, happened to return from outside. He was a sunny young man with high spirits, seventeen years old, and unmarried.
He has aspired to be a great general since he was young. He has amazing martial arts talent and a flamboyant personality. He is currently serving in the Ministry of War.
Bai Heng hopes that he can gain more experience in the military department, selfishly because he doesn't want him to live on the edge of a knife on the battlefield.
"Rong'er, where are the rules?"
Although Bai Heng was older, he respected the Regent very much and admired his courage and wisdom.
After all, there are only a handful of people who can fight in the battlefield at such a young age and support Dongye.
"To the Regent."
Bai Zirong only heard that Bai Shu had returned, so he walked a few steps quickly. He didn't know that the Regent was visiting his home before he entered the door.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. My son has a somewhat reckless temperament and needs further training."
Bai Heng tried to smooth things over.
[Susu, isn't this your idiotic second brother? It's a shame he fell victim to Du Wenqing's political schemes, and ended up with his legs injured and crippled. What a pitiful little thing!]
The system saw Bai Zirong as a sunny and cheerful boy, and it felt a bit regretful when it thought about his miserable end.
[With me here, he definitely won't end up like this! I'll give him the entire Zhuge Divine Crossbow to play with, and he'll definitely be able to sweep the battlefield!]
Now that Bai Shu has come here, the Prime Minister's Mansion will only prosper in the future and will not decline.
[That's inevitable! With the current level of soldiers in the army, firing three arrows simultaneously is already very impressive. If Su Su could use a weapon that could fire fifty arrows simultaneously, it would definitely shock the entire Dongye!]
The system has full confidence in Bai Shu.
[That's right, don't you see who I am! ]
[Of course it’s my smart, cute, beautiful, generous, gentle and lovely host! ]
The system immediately transformed into the owner of Bai Shu’s praise group...
Xiao Moqing was sitting on the upper seat, preparing to taste the Mingqianxinlv tea that Bai Heng had just praised as the best in the world.
Hearing the conversation between Bai Shu and the system suddenly filled his heart with shock. A Zhuge Divine Crossbow that fired fifty arrows simultaneously? His curiosity about Bai Shu was now even stronger...
"No problem, the Second Young Master is a man of character. I've heard that Zirong is an outstanding martial artist and has performed exceptionally well in the military. I wonder if Zirong is interested in joining the army?"
Xiao Moqing is still very concerned about this generation of young rookies. Dongye's foundation is not yet solid, and the court is in need of talents.
He had heard about Bai Zirong's performance in the Ministry of War and thought he could be promoted appropriately.
"Your Highness, are you serious? My dream is to become a brave and skilled general, to expand territory for Dongye and bring peace to the people!"
When Bai Zirong heard Xiao Moqing's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he was so excited that he became incoherent.
Once upon a time, the person he admired most was Xiao Moqing, who had been fighting in battles at the age of fifteen. He had always taken him as an example to learn martial arts.
"A true man has ambitions. It's good to have dreams. As long as you are willing, you can join the army at any time."
Xiao Moqing looked at the high-spirited young man in front of him, and his memory seemed to go back to his invincible years of battle.
A few years passed in a flash, and having been in the officialdom for so long, he had even forgotten the feeling of blood boiling...
He admitted that he had a selfish motive for making this arrangement. He wanted to see the Zhuge Divine Crossbow that Bai Shu had mentioned, but he also didn't want to see a young man's dream shattered...
