Qu Li's body was filled with chilliness. She looked Bai Zhonghe up and down, and her voice was equally cold.
"Master Bai, I don't want this Princess Chen! You just said I was arrogant, and indeed, I have the capital to be arrogant! It's not because I'm the Princess Chen that I'm arrogant!"
Thinking of the common people who petitioned voluntarily and the poor students, Bai Zhonghe had to admit that Qu Li did have the ability to convince people.
He suppressed the displeasure on his face and calmly requested, "Princess Chen, the Bai family is deeply affected by this and has too many concerns!"
What this means is that you'd better keep your distance from Bai Ruowei in the future, so as not to implicate the Bai family.
Qu Li understood.
Precisely because I understood, I felt that Bai Ruowei was not worth it.
She is such a good person, but she has such a cold-hearted father. No wonder she was always suppressed by Bai Fengyao before.
"Master Bai, everyone is an independent individual. No one can make decisions for others! If Ruo Wei tells me today that she wants to keep her distance from me, I will say nothing and never visit the Bai Mansion again!"
She firmly believed that Bai Ruowei would never do this!
Although she is a woman, she has courage and vision!
Bai Zhonghe narrowed his eyes, while Qu Li remained indifferent.
The old man and the young man looked at each other for a moment, and Bai Zhonghe called the housekeeper to invite Bai Ruowei over.
Mrs. Bai was worried about Bai Ruowei, and her eyes were red as she looked at Bai Zhonghe eagerly.
The atmosphere in the lobby was a bit depressing.
Qu Li's gaze swept across Mrs. Bai's face, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.
When Bai Ruowei heard that Qu Li had arrived, her eyebrows and eyes were filled with joy.
The butler was a loyal servant of Bai Zhonghe. He knew Bai Zhonghe's thoughts very well and spoke a few words to Bai Ruowei in a low voice.
Bai Ruowei's expression suddenly changed, and there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Miss, please!"
She bit her white lips and clenched her hands into fists.
"Please tell Li'er that I'm fine, and ask her not to come here again."
The butler was quite satisfied. He nodded and left.
"Princess Chen, the eldest lady said she is fine and asked you not to come here again!"
The indifference on Qu Li's face disappeared, and he narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
"Did Ruo Wei say this herself?"
The butler bowed his head and said, "Yes."
"Princess Chen, since Ruo Wei said it herself, then Princess Chen will not be allowed to stay!"
Bai Zhonghe immediately ordered them to leave.
Qu Li's mind raced, "Take me there, I want her to say it herself!"
The housekeeper reached out to stop her, but was frightened by her cold look and took a step back.
Mrs. Bai's heart was tense and she hesitated to speak.
"I haven't divorced Prince Chen yet, and I'm still his consort. Are you trying to commit insubordination?"
She spoke very slowly, and every word seemed to be bitten out from between her teeth.
The air in the front hall grew thinner, and Madam Bai spoke with tears in her eyes, "Princess Chen, please come with me!"
Qu Li glared at Bai Zhonghe with a warning in his eyes and left with Mrs. Bai.
The housekeeper was worried: "Master, the eldest lady..."
"Didn't you already tell Ruo Wei?"
"yes."
"Then don't worry."
On the way to Bai Ruowei's boudoir, Qu Li wanted to ask Mrs. Bai several times, but Mrs. Bai obviously didn't intend to talk to her, so she tactfully didn't ask anything.
"Princess Chen, Ruo Wei is inside."
"Didn't Ruo Wei catch a cold?"
Qu Li's eyes were as sharp as X-rays, and Mrs. Bai felt as if her soul was seen through.
Her eyes flickered, not daring to meet her gaze.
"Ruo Wei!"
Hearing Qu Li's voice, Bai Ruowei's heart beat faster on the other side of the door.
She bit her lip and said, "Princess Chen, please don't come here again!"
These words were quite hurtful. If Qu Li was not a sharp-minded person, he would definitely turn around and leave in anger.
"Ruo Wei, do you have something to hide?"
"Princess Chen, you know that Ruo Wei has been very close to the Eighth Prince recently, and you will soon be divorcing Prince Chen. Ruo Wei doesn't want you to ruin her good marriage."
As she said this, Bai Ruowei's eyes became extremely sore, and tears fell like beads from a broken string.
Qu Li clenched her fingers, becoming more and more certain that Bai Zhonghe was definitely holding her in his hands.
Thinking that Madam Bai was still here, Bai Ruowei was definitely not going to tell the truth. She just smiled and said, "Okay, as you wish!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
She left in a hurry, and Mrs. Bai did not follow her.
The door opened, and Bai Ruowei looked at the disappeared figure with tearful eyes.
"Li'er!"
Mrs. Bai choked up, "Ruo Wei, it's all my fault that I've implicated you!"
"mother!"
The mother and daughter hugged each other.
After Qu Li left Bai Mansion, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Bai Ruowei was indeed worried, and she planned to go back first.
Upon hearing this, Changle's temper flared up.
"Ruo Wei has never been a heartless person! It must be Bai Zhonghe!"
"Don't be like a firecracker that explodes at the slightest touch!"
"Bai Zhonghe liked Bai Fengyao before, but now Bai Fengyao is dead, and Ruo Wei is close to the Eighth Prince. Bai Zhonghe, who always knows how to weigh things, will definitely have to consider what to do to benefit himself." Changle became more and more angry as he spoke. He picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.
"I've already thought of all this! Why don't you go and ask around now? However, I don't think Bai Zhonghe will necessarily let you see Ruo Wei."
"What should we do then?"
"Tonight! I'm going to the Bai Mansion."
"I'll go with you!"
"Just don't go!"
"Li'er, who are you looking down on?"
"I'm not looking down on you, but there are so many people going there, Ruo Wei may not tell the truth! Don't worry."
As night fell, Qu Li changed into night clothes and quickly rushed towards Bai Mansion.
She entered the space and walked into the Bai Mansion openly.
The doorman felt a fluctuation in the air, but didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just the evening breeze.
Qu Li came to Bai Ruowei's boudoir and scared Bai Ruowei.
"Li'er?!"
"Didn't you call me Princess Chen before?" Qu Li's eyes were filled with mischief.
Bai Ruowei's eyebrows knitted together in confusion, and the joy on her face faded: "I'm just used to it!"
"Ruo Wei, we are friends. When friends encounter difficulties, we will naturally help each other without hesitation! Just like you helped me before, didn't you help me without considering the consequences?"
Under the candlelight, her eyes were filled with sincerity and sparkled, like a ray of sunshine projected into her gloomy heart.
Bai Ruowei suddenly felt aggrieved and sniffed.
Qu Li held her hand and asked, "Ruowei, how did Lord Bai threaten you?"
"Li'er!"
No matter how calm and self-controlled she usually is, she was still defeated at this moment.
Qu Li put his arm around her shoulders and patted her back gently, "Tell me, I'll help you solve it!"
