What Feng Beichuan did today is undoubtedly the biggest blow and humiliation to her.
Bai Ruohan felt extremely wronged at this moment, and tears welled up in her eyes.
But the pride and self-respect she felt as the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's family wouldn't allow her to let the tears fall.
From childhood to adulthood, Bai Ruohan has always strived to be a good young lady, a daughter who would make her father proud, and the most outstanding woman in the world.
Her father loved listening to the piano, so she worked hard to learn to play it; her mother loved watching dance, so she started practicing dancing from a young age.
Because Bai Ruobing, the illegitimate daughter, was praised by Bai Yuanshan for her needlework many years ago, Bai Ruohan began to practice needlework day and night. In just a few months, she mastered needlework skills far surpassing Bai Ruobing's.
Although the end result was needle marks and scars all over her fingers, she felt it was all worth it as long as she could outshine others and gain her father's approval.
Everyone says that women are uneducated, but her mother told her from a young age that women also need to study and write.
Thus, Bai Ruohan became a talented woman who was proficient in poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
She became the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, renowned throughout the capital.
It was precisely because of the personality she had cultivated since childhood that Bai Ruohan understood better than anyone else the principle that one must strive for everything through one's own efforts.
Some things, even if you try your best, you may not get what you want. But if you don't even bother to try, then you've given up on even the slightest hope.
Moreover, Bai Ruohan has always felt that she is no less than any other woman, but now she has been subjected to such a great humiliation for no reason. How can she accept it?
There's nothing in this world that Bai Ruohan can't get!
Having made up her mind, Bai Ruohan gritted her teeth and steeled her resolve. She then suppressed her emotions and said, "Judging from what Your Highness is saying, are you perhaps planning to renege on your promise?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan raised his eyebrows slightly, then turned to look at Bai Ruohan again, his eyes filled with endless mockery.
He then said calmly, "Miss Bai's words are rather confusing to me. I wonder which account I should take responsibility for?"
"The reason I fainted just now was all because of you. Does Your Highness intend to deny it?"
Bai Ruohan said confidently.
What a shameless woman!
At this moment, Feng Beichuan's disgust for this person deepened even further.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ruohan is indeed a troublesome character!
In this respect, she is just like her cunning father.
Even now, Bai Ruohan is still fantasizing about using what just happened as an excuse to make trouble, but unfortunately, she probably never imagined that even God wouldn't help her this time.
As the saying goes, "The devil may be one foot tall, but the righteous are ten feet tall."
If it weren't for Liu Mengwan, who was skilled in medicine, suddenly appearing out of nowhere, Bai Ruohan might have actually gotten what he wanted this time.
Unfortunately, not everyone can have such a supportive role.
For example, Liang Xuanjing is currently facing a situation where he is in the jaws of a tiger in front and a den of wolves behind.
At this very moment, Liang Xuanjing was constantly dealing with the people opposite him.
While trying to calm the crowd, he discreetly observed whether he could find a way to escape.
"Kid, shut the hell up! You ruined my plans, so either pay up or leave your loose tongue behind!"
The burly man leading the group had a fierce and menacing look on his face. As he spoke, he pulled out a gleaming curved knife from his waist, tossed it into the air, and then caught it firmly in his hand.
After some deliberation, Liang Xuanjing felt that if all else failed, paying money to avoid further trouble was a good idea. So he said, "Then tell me, how much money do you want to pay?"
"One hundred taels."
Perhaps seeing how readily the other party agreed, and considering his wealthy attire, the burly man quoted a price without even blinking.
"One hundred taels? Are you robbing me! Even if you bet correctly ten times, you'll only win a few taels of silver at most. I'm already being generous by giving you ten taels!"
Liang Xuanjing never expected that the other party would quote such an exorbitant price. He immediately widened his eyes and angrily accused the other party of such price gouging.
Li Chang'an had already walked over, and seeing Liang Xuanjing outnumbered, his expression turned somewhat cold.
You have to understand. Those people on the other side are a bunch of local bullies. Not only can you not reason with them, but they won't reason with you either.
"Ten taels of silver? You're trying to fob me off! One hundred taels, not a penny less!"
The burly man also adopted a menacing demeanor and hurled insults at Liang Xuanjing, his tone becoming increasingly impatient. He gave Liang Xuanjing no chance to bargain.
Just when they were in a dilemma, perhaps it was a stroke of luck, as a savior unexpectedly appeared on Liang Xuanjing's side.
"Cough cough cough..."
Just as the two sides were at an impasse, Li Chang'an suddenly coughed lightly a few times without making a sound.
Perhaps because he was on edge, Liang Xuanjing also noticed that the cough sounded a bit off. He then spotted the familiar face in the crowd and was immediately overjoyed.
After meeting Li Chang'an's gaze, Liang Xuanjing winked at her, her clear eyes shining brightly with a hint of excitement at having escaped a desperate situation.
After successfully connecting with the signal, Li Chang'an nodded slightly to the person and then remained still, waiting for the right opportunity.
"Cough cough cough!"
Just then, Liang Xuanjing coughed softly, then gave Li Chang'an a meaningful look, his heart pounding nervously, and he had already conceived a bold plan in his mind.
"What are you coughing for! What, are you pretending to be a consumptive? Are you going to give me the hundred taels of silver or not?!"
Seeing Liang Xuanjing's weak appearance, the burly man at the head of the group became even more arrogant.
Seeing this, Liang Xuanjing couldn't help but curse inwardly, then put on a smiling face and said, "Of course I'll give it to you. One hundred taels of silver for my personal safety, it's such a good deal, I'll definitely do it!"
Seeing the man's grinning face, the burly man couldn't help but sneer disdainfully. He had thought this man was a tough guy, but it turned out he was just a cowardly coward.
This makes it easier to control.
With an air of utter confidence, the man then said in a gruff tone, "Fine, you're smart to know what's good for you! Hand over the money!"
