"Impossible! He can't possibly rely on someone else's son for his old age. You've deliberately spread these rumors to frame him in order to make me give up. Tomorrow I'll persuade Master Wan to find a doctor to diagnose his pulse, and I'll definitely dispel these rumors.
As long as I stand by his side wholeheartedly, I will definitely be able to impress him. I am the only one he should choose. Bai Shi, humph! I will make him give up. "
"You~"
Prince Rui was so angry that he was about to have a heart attack. He blamed himself and was angry at his daughter for being so stubborn.
"Do you really think Wanshanting will be happy and grateful for what you've done? Oh, he must hate you to death now!"
"Impossible! Everything I do is for his own good!"
"Well, you just think that he'd be happy if you and Bai bought him off with two silver coins right in front of him? Bai was just trying to get rid of him, so he didn't mind being angry. What about you? What you did was insult him. It would be strange if he didn't hate you.
People outside are saying that he is only worth two silver coins, and they are calculating how long it will take him to pay it back with his salary. If he can't pay it back in his lifetime relying on his salary alone, he will have to sell himself to you in the end.
He relied on his first wife for the imperial examination, and I'm afraid he will have to rely on his new wife in the future to live a worry-free life. He relies on women all the time.
"Do you think he wouldn't hate me if he heard something like that?"
"No, once he understands that I'm doing this for his own good, he won't blame me. After we get married, his career will be smooth and his family will prosper. Not only will he not hate me, but he'll be grateful to me and treat me better than he treated that woman."
His daughter's daydreamy thoughts stabbed King Rui deeply, and he wanted to kill the man surnamed Wan.
What kind of magic potion did you feed your daughter? Where has the Qingming Festival of the past gone?
"A scholar values integrity the most. You've already earned his hatred, so it's impossible for him to treat you well again. Wake up, daughter."
This is another reason why Prince Rui wants to persuade his daughter to give up. Any man with a sense of dignity would be angry at his daughter's behavior, and who knows what might happen in the future when her daughter gets hurt.
There will always be times when his relatives are unable to take care of him. He still loves his daughter and doesn't want her to get hurt, so it's better to let it go.
"My father is prejudiced. He's so obsessed with his first wife, so he certainly won't hate me just because of my momentary kindness. I'm going to go and explain it to him right away!"
King Rui hurriedly stopped
"You're not allowed to go. Do you think the rumors outside are not enough?"
"But I can't let him misunderstand me!"
“That’s enough. Do you still remember that you are the daughter of my Prince Rui? You are the Princess of Jiayang, not a common woman. You are not even one-tenth as good as the Bai family.
From now on, you are not allowed to go anywhere. Until your father has fully investigated the whole matter, you are not allowed to have any contact with him, not even letters. Just stay at home and sober up for a while."
This was one of the few times when he was angry and spoke harshly to his daughter. However, when Jiayang heard his father say that he was not even one-tenth as good as Bai, he suddenly went crazy.
It hit the pain point in her heart
"Master Wan ignored me, and even my father said I wasn't as good as Bai. How could I be inferior to her? I'm younger and prettier than her, and I'm proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I come from a good family and have a high status. I'm more sincere than her, so why does he only have eyes for Bai?
Why did he always pay attention to Bai Shi? Whenever she went out, he would come closer to her. Whenever he saw her, his face would be full of gentleness. Even if Bai Shi ridiculed him and made him angry, he would not change his mind at all.
Is it just because Bai helped him selflessly like his first wife? But I also did a lot for him, why didn't he care? How was I inferior to Bai?
He must have a preconceived notion that Bai is like his ex-wife. That's for sure. I must make him forget everyone else's kindness and only remember me!"
Seeing his daughter's infatuation, Prince Rui felt both distressed and angry. Wan Shanting had really hurt his daughter. He secretly vowed to thoroughly investigate him again. If there was any inappropriateness, he would kill him.
In fact, he was also angry at Bai Zhiyue, as she was the culprit who hurt his daughter. But he still had some rationality. Judging from what happened this year, she was not a simple person. It was better not to provoke her before there was evidence. Anyone who provoked her would not have a good result.
After all, this matter cannot be blamed on anyone else. The key is that they underestimated Wan Shanting.
Seeing Jiayang crying and throwing things, he didn't stop her and just let her vent.
Looking at the servants waiting
"Listen up, everyone. From now on, keep an eye on Jiayang. If she does anything inappropriate, you will all be punished!"
Before leaving, he reminded
"Take good care of the princess. If she gets hurt, you'll be the ones to blame!"
"yes!"
Speaking of which, Prince Rui is also a kind father. He cares about his daughter very much and cares about her more than the princess does.
After venting his anger, Jiayang insisted on running out to find Wanshanting, but was stopped by the servants. They had to obey the prince's words as it was a matter of life and death.
Even asking the maid to help deliver the letter couldn't work, and Jiayang was so angry that he smashed things in the house again.
This made her hatred towards Bai Zhiyue rise to a higher level. She was initially just a little displeased with them, but her hatred was escalated step by step by them.
Great job!
These rumors spread throughout the entire imperial city within two days. People no longer looked at the top scholar with the same admiration as before, especially the common people in the market.
In the past, the top scholar who came from a poor family was their pride and the dream lover in the hearts of ordinary women.
After hearing those rumors and looking at it again, I suddenly felt that this person was terrible. He got to where he is today by stepping on the corpse of his first wife, and now he wants to use another woman to get to the top. I don't want such a person.
Some people even focused on a certain part of his body, wondering if he was really infertile.
Some hooligans were secretly having affairs with him, saying that he looked so handsome and elegant, and that it couldn't be because he was not good in that aspect and was a fake man that he looked so handsome.
When he was on duty, his colleagues would secretly talk about him and look down on him from time to time.
The piercing look in his eyes was so piercing that even a man with such outstanding Qi-cultivation skills could not bear it, and he wanted to lose his temper and curse.
Seeing that his expression became more and more terrifying and his face became darker and darker day by day, those who originally wanted to laugh at him were so scared by his eyes that they dared not speak.
"How come this guy is so good at watching the scene? Is he really from a poor family?"
"Yeah, I was just trying to make a joke, but he glared back at me!"
"I originally wanted him to revise the article a few more times, but I couldn't bring myself to do it, so I had to take it back and revise it myself."
"Yes, I am afraid too."
"Do you think his aura is comparable to that of the former Duke of Zhenguo?"
"Don't talk nonsense, he is a scholar, and that one is a warrior!"
"But I just feel like I'm going to get chopped off if I look at it any longer."
"He turned his head to look at us, let's go!"
These people are also cowards, frightened by the murderous look.
Wan Shanting never expected that Bai Zhiyue would do such a thing. In order to reduce everyone's hostility towards her, he deliberately spread the news like this, making it difficult for the plan to proceed.
Especially since Prince Rui actually locked the princess up in his mansion. The most powerful tool available is useless. It's so infuriating.
The Bai family is indeed difficult to deal with.
