This was the first time Bai Ruohan had ever been so severely reprimanded by her father, especially for a concubine's daughter whom she had looked down upon since childhood.
She, the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family, had never suffered such humiliation.
"Why should I apologize? I did nothing wrong!"
Bai Ruohan cried out as tears streamed down her face, completely losing her usual composure as the daughter of the Prime Minister's family.
At this moment, she was nothing more than a daughter who had been wronged.
Seeing that Bai Ruohan still maintained such an arrogant attitude, Bai Ruobing was truly furious. So she continued to fan the flames, saying, "Sister, you don't need to apologize. It's all my fault. Mother taught me from a young age that I must always give in to my sister. It was my fault for not doing well and that made my sister angry..."
Bai Ruohan wasn't buying it. She immediately glared at the other woman and snapped, "Shut up! Stop pretending. You were wrong, but you shouldn't have appeared in front of me!"
Listening to the two women's incessant bickering made Li Chang'an feel even more frustrated.
There's really no need to watch this farce any longer.
Then, Li Chang'an prepared to get up and leave.
Just then, Feng Beichuan, who was standing to the side, suddenly frowned and said, "Chang An, let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an raised an eyebrow slightly, then turned to look at the man, seemingly jokingly saying, "What, you're not planning to stay here and watch this good show to the end?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan immediately waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, those few are giving me a headache! And that second young lady from the Prime Minister's mansion, such a delicate and pretentious person, it's really disgusting to look at. I'm afraid if I keep looking at her, I won't be able to eat..."
After listening to Feng Beichuan's words, Li Chang'an couldn't help but smile faintly. It seemed that the two of them had the same idea this time. Then he said softly, "Then let's go."
After the two climbed over the wall and left the Prime Minister's residence, Li Chang'an was ready to break up on the spot, but Feng Beichuan shamelessly wanted to stay with her.
Li Chang'an was speechless at this person, so he couldn't help but complain, "What, are you not comfortable staying in the Regent's Mansion? If you like going to the General's Mansion so much, why don't we switch places? You can stay in the General's Mansion and I'll stay in the Regent's Mansion."
These words really gave Feng Beichuan a hard time, but he quickly found a seemingly reasonable excuse for himself, so he said to Li Chang'an in a serious tone, "I'm just worried about your safety. The people from the Dark Night Pavilion have actually set their sights on the General's Mansion, so just in case..."
"Just to be on the safe side, I'd better go back by myself, so that if anything happens, I won't have to worry about your safety."
Before Feng Beichuan could finish speaking, Li Chang'an rudely interrupted him and then turned and left.
"Hey, Chang'an! As the saying goes, every meeting is fate. Just think how much fate we've accumulated by now! With so much fate, you have to take me back to the General's Mansion for a simple meal..."
Feng Beichuan quickly followed, chattering incessantly as he walked.
Li Chang'an gradually felt overwhelmed by the disturbance, her head buzzing. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she turned to point behind Feng Beichuan, saying, "It's people from the Dark Night Pavilion! Go after them!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan's expression immediately changed, and he turned to look behind him.
"Where is he? Where is he? We have to catch him this time!"
As Feng Beichuan spoke, he quickly ran in the direction Li Chang'an had just pointed, but after looking left and right, he couldn't see a single person.
"Chang An, are you sure you're not mistaken? Where... is everyone?!"
At this moment, Feng Beichuan realized that he had been tricked.
There are no Dark Night Pavilion members here! This is clearly a trick they're using to shake us off!
At this moment, Li Chang'an had long since disappeared from sight.
Feng Beichuan was so angry that he stomped his feet, but it was no use. He couldn't help but curse himself in his heart for being able to fall for such a clumsy lie!
This woman is really too much!
Thus, Feng Beichuan could only turn around angrily and return to his Regent's Palace, silently admonishing himself as he walked—he must never unconditionally believe that woman's words again.
At this moment, Li Chang'an had already arrived at the entrance of the General's Mansion.
She couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, thinking to herself that she was lucky to have been clever enough to successfully trick Feng Beichuan.
It wasn't that she didn't welcome that person coming with her, but rather that there were still unresolved issues at the General's Mansion, and she simply couldn't spare the time.
Now, the Prime Minister's residence is also a mess that is difficult to clean up.
Under Bai Yuanshan's imposing presence, Bai Ruohan ultimately had no choice but to apologize to Bai Ruobing.
She never imagined that she would be so humble in front of this illegitimate daughter whom she had always looked down upon.
Bai Ruohan grew angrier the more she thought about it, but now there was no one who could help her. Her eyes were red, and she bit her lip tightly.
At this moment, although Bai Ruobing's face still looked pitiful, a smug glint flashed involuntarily in her eyes.
In the end, we won this war.
Then, she waited happily for Bai Ruohan's apology, and a victorious smile gradually appeared on her lips.
Bai Ruohan, oh Bai Ruohan.
You probably never dreamed that such a day would come, and you'd have to apologize to me in person!
But this is just the beginning!
I will definitely continue to work hard and gradually crush you under my feet!
Bai Ruobing's smile grew increasingly unrestrained. She raised her chin and looked at Bai Ruohan as if she were looking at a pitiful worm, completely losing the humble demeanor she usually displayed as an illegitimate daughter.
It was as if she herself was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion.
"No apologies allowed."
Just then, a woman's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
Although the voice wasn't loud, it still sounded incredibly intimidating.
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound, their faces showing varying degrees of surprise.
The person was wearing a royal blue blouse embroidered with silver butterflies and flowers, the wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, paired with a pale yellow pleated skirt with round patterns, exuding elegance and solemnity.
Her hair was meticulously combed, with two gold-threaded openwork peacock hairpins on each side of her bun. Each peacock held a string of shimmering black pearls in its beak, making her look both noble and understated.
The woman had a beautiful and elegant face. Although she was past middle age, she still retained her charm, with delicate eyebrows and eyes and a straight waist.
