Seeing the woman in front of him becoming increasingly agitated, Li Chang'an never expected that she would have the courage to fight him. Her eyes narrowed instantly, and she instinctively dodged the hands that were reaching out to her. Then, with lightning speed, she grabbed the other woman's wrist and precisely restrained her soft neck with her elbow.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Ruohan was subdued by Li Chang'an.
Only then did Bai Ruohan come to her senses. She had lost her mind because of her intense emotions and forgot that she was no match for Li Chang'an.
"Let me go, you madman!"
Bai Ruohan cursed as she raised her foot to stomp on Li Chang'an's foot, but the other party was not about to give her the chance and simply let go and threw her away.
Bai Ruohan staggered back a few steps before regaining her balance by holding onto the chair. After all, she was a pampered young lady who had been spoiled since childhood, so she was naturally very weak. Although Li Chang'an's blow just now wasn't very strong, she felt that he was trying to hurt her.
At this moment, Li Chang'an was coldly looking at Bai Ruohan's face, which was distorted by anger, and suddenly felt that her current appearance was really unworthy of her pretty appearance.
Li Chang'an didn't like this woman at all, so he didn't want to waste any more words with her and turned to leave. Feng Beichuan also just glanced at Bai Ruohan and then prepared to leave together.
Although the Prime Minister's residence was in complete disarray, Bai Ruohan's heart still fluttered when she saw the man's face. However, the thought that Feng Beichuan was with Li Chang'an again quickly replaced that flutter with anger.
Could it be that Li Chang'an, this crazy woman, was sent by God specifically to make things difficult for me?
Bai Ruohan naturally wouldn't take her anger out on Feng Beichuan, so she transferred all her resentment to Li Chang'an. She couldn't tell whether she was angry or jealous, but she just couldn't stand Li Chang'an. She couldn't stand her status as the eldest princess, she couldn't stand the fact that Feng Beichuan was always by her side, she couldn't stand her fearless aura, and she even disliked Li Chang'an's face.
As she thought about it, Bai Ruohan unconsciously clenched her fists, her nails tearing wrinkles into her sleeves, and her knuckles turning white from the force.
No, we absolutely cannot let her leave so easily!
With that in mind, Bai Ruohan turned her attention to Feng Beichuan.
The fact that her father had become like this was most likely related to Li Chang'an. Perhaps Qin's death was also caused by this man. Although Qin was just a servant in their Prime Minister's mansion and his life was not worth much, her father, Bai Yuanshan, was still an important official of the court. As the regent, Feng Beichuan should know how to weigh the pros and cons.
Bai Ruohan was prepared to take a gamble.
"You've caused such a scene at my Prime Minister's residence, are you just planning to walk away?"
Biting her lip, Bai Ruohan lifted her leg and chased after Li Chang'an. She tried her best to calm herself down and put on a businesslike demeanor.
"Or is it because you are a princess that you can disregard human life and insult important court officials!"
With great difficulty, Bai Ruohan looked up and met Li Chang'an's eyes, which were filled with a chilling coldness.
She didn't know why, even though she was in the right, she still felt like she had done something wrong. She was still a little nervous when facing Li Chang'an, and the presence of Feng Beichuan made her even more flustered.
She was afraid that the man would develop a dislike for her because of something she did wrong, so she tried to keep her tone calm and didn't say anything unpleasant. She didn't know the relationship between Feng Beichuan and Li Chang'an, so she naturally didn't think that Feng Beichuan would go against the entire Prime Minister's Mansion for such a vulgar woman, and also go against the power held by his father.
"So, what do you want?"
After listening to Bai Ruohan's accusatory remarks, Li Chang'an raised his eyebrows and began to look at this woman with new respect.
I originally thought she was just a troublemaker, but I didn't expect her to talk to me so calmly. It seems she's determined to get justice today.
But the justice she believed in was utterly ridiculous!
"In that case, I humbly request Your Highness to decide whether you are exempt from responsibility for the lives of two people simply because you are a princess?"
Now that Bai Ruohan was no longer nervous, she shared her thoughts.
Hearing her words, Li Chang'an couldn't help but chuckle: "Two lives? Who told you that I killed them? Besides, your father isn't even dead yet. Even if you want to punish me, aren't you being a bit too hasty?"
These words left Bai Ruohan speechless. In fact, she didn't know the specifics either. The reason she said this was to make things sound more serious so that Li Chang'an would be scared. People tend to make more mistakes when they are in a panic, so she could take the opportunity to find more dirt on Li Chang'an.
Perhaps this tactic would work on others, but who is Li Chang'an? Countless people have died at her hands on the battlefield. What kind of storms hasn't she weathered? Would she be afraid of Bai Ruohan's few threats?
Feng Beichuan, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth after hearing Li Chang'an's words. He secretly praised the woman's consistently sharp-tongued style of speaking, thinking that this time he was the one who would suffer.
"Just because you say you didn't do it doesn't mean you did it! Unless you produce evidence, I won't let this go. My Prime Minister's residence isn't a pushover; it's not something anyone can just bully!"
Although she had suffered a loss in silence, Bai Ruohan was still unwilling to back down, and she was determined to get an explanation today.
Li Chang'an was speechless. He figured no matter how he explained, the woman in front of him wouldn't believe him, and she didn't want to waste her breath repeating the whole story from beginning to end.
Thinking of this, Li Chang'an felt both angry and amused. He had originally come to confront someone, but now he had become the target of their confrontation.
"Your father fainted from anger. As for him, he committed suicide to cover up the good deeds your father had done. If you don't believe me, you can ask the servants and maids who were there at the time. In short, I warn you not to pin baseless accusations on me!"
Li Chang'an remained expressionless. She no longer wanted to pursue the matter of Deputy General Sun. Since there was no way to verify the facts now that he was dead, Bai Yuanshan could simply shift all the blame onto the dead.
After wasting half a day's effort, Li Chang'an felt as if he had punched cotton, and couldn't help but feel extremely frustrated.
"Your Highness, you must do justice for this humble woman!"
