Chapter 27 The Master Was Captured
Madam Li slammed the table and stood up, feeling insulted: "Son, let's go. Since the Xiangfu doesn't like us, we don't need to be disliked here."
Bai Qinghuan is so reluctant, can she treat her son well after marrying in?
It doesn't matter if this marriage is not going to happen, but she must avenge the insult she suffered today.
She even blamed Aunt Zheng, who was so powerful in the rear house that she couldn't even handle a little maid.
It's so embarrassing that I was bullied by my sickly wife.
The Li family is really embarrassed today.
Of course Li Chengze was reluctant to let her go, because that was Bai Qinghuan, the most beautiful girl in Beijing.
"mother..."
His eyes were still glued to Bai Qinghuan.
Madam Li pinched him and said, "Why don't you leave?"
Fearing that her son might be confused, she whispered, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you get her in the future."
As long as Bai Qinghuan goes out, she will have a chance.
Li Chengze finally calmed down. When he got what he wanted, he would torture her severely on the bed.
But before they could leave, a servant ran in in panic, tripped over the threshold and fell heavily to the ground.
He ignored his own pain: "Madam, it's not good."
Mrs. Li just had no place to vent her anger, and here came the venting bucket.
"What are you yelling about?"
The servant burst into tears: "Madam, our house has been surrounded and the master has been captured."
Mrs. Li's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. She was shocked and asked, "How is this possible?"
Her master is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a third-rank official. This is absolutely impossible.
The servant was so anxious: "Madam, it's true! Please go back and take a look."
"Master..."
Mrs. Li ran out in panic, and before leaving she asked the servants to carry the betrothal gifts away.
Aunt Zheng was heartbroken because these were real betrothal gifts and all of them were silver.
You can imagine how I felt when the duck that was just in my hand flew away.
"The eldest lady is satisfied this time. Something happened in the Li Mansion. I wonder if it was the bad luck brought by this white dress."
Lu Wanning's eyes were murderous: "Shut up, this lady hasn't settled the score with you yet."
"If you dare to interfere with Qing Huan's marriage again, I will sell you out."
"You...I am the mistress of the house."
"Madam of the house? You are not worthy! I am just a lowly concubine. I have a contract to sell myself."
Aunt Zheng gave up, and she did sign a contract to sell herself in order to enter the palace as soon as possible.
She just relied on Bai Changhao's love and didn't take the indenture contract seriously.
But to be honest, even if Lu Wanning was determined to sell her out, Bai Changhao might not be able to stop her.
He moved in front of Bai Changhao with a wronged look on his face, but Bai Changhao didn't see him at all. He was wondering what had happened to the Minister of Revenue.
I hurried out to check the situation.
As the prime minister, in charge of six ministries, he didn't hear any news at all. This is a very serious problem.
Since Lu Wanning no longer cared about Bai Changhao, she was able to completely control Aunt Zheng, and Bai Qinghuan felt much more at ease.
Her mother should also act like a legitimate wife.
The incident at the Li Mansion brought her back from her grief.
Did the Regent really take action?
She has a chance!
That man is still very cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
After sending Lu Wanning back to the yard and comforting Mo Xuan a few words, she couldn't wait to check the growth of the aquatic plants.
The green grass had little tips poking out and a tiny anchovy was swimming around on it, looking so cozy.
Tomorrow, she will be sent to the Regent's Palace.
......
Pearl slipped out again to the Regent's study.
"Your Highness, the Li family went to propose marriage today. They are forcing the girl to get married. The girl almost did something stupid today."
The Regent's hand that was trimming the bonsai suddenly stopped.
"If the Li family hadn't suddenly encountered an accident, the girl might have hit her head against a pillar. She said she would never marry even if she died."
Xishun screamed, terrified: "It was too dangerous."
Since the prince has taken action, why didn’t he do it earlier? Why wait until the last minute?
The prince has been absent-minded these days, and no one knows what he is thinking about.
"Although the marriage was prevented, Miss Bai's reputation was still damaged."
Her engagement was originally broken off by the royal family, and now the Li family is proposing marriage again. Although it has not been successful, the reputation of a girl is very fragile and cannot withstand the slightest disturbance.
After all these troubles, it will be really difficult to get married in the future.
But fortunately, the prince probably doesn’t care about these things.
Early in the morning of the next day, Bai Qinghuan received an invitation from Princess Changle.
"Let's go to the hot spring village tomorrow to soak in the hot springs and walk in the snow to look for plum blossoms?"
Sounds good.
She was in a good mood and wanted to go out and relax. Besides, making friends with Princess Changle would definitely be a good thing for her.
"Zi Yan, pack my things for the next two or three days, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning."
In the evening, she cooked a few dishes again and took Biyun Zhenzhu to the back door of the Regent's Palace.
Xishun didn't expect her to come back. When she received the report, Bai Qinghuan had been waiting at the back door for a quarter of an hour.
"Forgive me, young lady. I didn't expect you to come here today. I am sorry for neglecting you."
"Thank you, Master Xishun. I came here without any prior notice."
Bai Qinghuan asked tentatively: "Eunuch, is it convenient for me to go in and thank the prince?"
Xishun was pleasantly surprised: "Of course it's convenient, please, Miss Bai."
Miss Bai refused to come in when invited before. Today, Miss Bai must have known that it was the prince who helped her, so she came to express her gratitude.
Xishun led the way, and after about a quarter of an hour, they arrived at the door of the study.
"Your Majesty, Miss Bai wants to see you, Your Majesty."
Inside the room, the Regent stopped flipping through the memorial and looked towards the closed door.
After a long while, he said, "Come in."
Bai Qinghuan stepped in carefully. The lights in the study were on. The golden charcoal in the brazier was emitting small sparks, breaking the silence and emitting scorching heat.
She bent her knees and placed her hands on her waist, revealing her slender waist that could be grasped with one hand, and her figure under her clothes was well-proportioned.
Extremely elegant, yet charming and enchanting.
"Qing Huan greets His Majesty!"
She quietly looked at the person sitting behind the desk, who was dressed in a black robe and looked very noble.
His serious expression, coated with a layer of gold by the candlelight, was no more than that of a god who had fallen into the mortal world. This boy should only be in heaven.
He looked at the memorials meticulously. As expected, a man who is focused is really attractive.
"Get up."
The Regent raised his head, his eyes lingering on her waist for a moment, then moved away imperceptibly to her face.
I haven't seen her for a few days and I've found that she has lost weight. She didn't have much flesh on her face to begin with, and now her chin looks like it's been sharpened.
Is there no food to eat in the Prime Minister’s Mansion?
He was extremely unhappy.
As a result, Prime Minister Bai was scolded several times in the court, and it was not known whether it was because Bai Qinghuan had lost weight or because of the slap.
Of course, this is just a later story.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me out today. Qinghuan has no way to repay you, so I made a little toy for you to play with."
