Dongfang Mu listened quietly. The expression on his face didn’t change, and his anger was not obvious. After Chu Feng finished saying those words, he simply go with it: “His highness intention, it’s naturally a beautiful thing. I heard you have already gone to Houfu to propose marriage, and today you came here. I think you’ve already come up with a decision. Since you already made a decision, then let’s do it.”

Chu Feng was stunned. What was going on? Dongfang Mu actually agreed without saying anything? This doesn’t match his character!

“You agree?” Chu Feng couldn’t believe it. Dongfang Mu’s attitude was even stranger than his imperial father. He didn’t say any negative opinion.

Dongfang Mu said: “Why should I disagree? This is a good event!”

Pei Qinghan was also at a loss. He doesn’t know what medicine Dongfang Mu was selling.

Ignoring the dumbfounded faces of the two, Dongfang Mu asked in a low voice: “Is there anything else?”

Pei Qinghan shook his head blankly.

Dongfang Mu then got up and said: “Since there is nothing else, you two go back. I still have something to do today, so I won’t invite you to eat. Let’s talk another day.” After he said those words, he went straight away without giving them a face… …

The two stayed motionless in the hall for a while, then left the Dongfang Family Mansion in a daze.

After returning to the carriage outside, Chu Feng asked Pei Qinghan: “What is going on? Dongfang Mu doesn’t seem to care who Xiayan is going to marry. Does he like this granddaughter?”

Pei Qinghan busily said: “How can he not? She is her only granddaughter. Maybe he is ashamed of Prince, so he doesn’t want to say more.”

Pei Qinghan secretly looked at Chu Feng. Seeing that Chu Feng’s expression didn’t change, he felt relieved.

Chu Feng said: “Since the matter has been settled, I will go back to the palace and find an auspicious date. Once the date has been settled, I will let the world know that Xiayan will be my person from now on.”

The same day, Bai Zhi was refining medicine in the mansion and found out that she was missing a few herbs. The weather was good, so she took a little maidservant with her and went to the medicinal store to buy some herbs.

As soon as she left the mansion, two sneaky figures followed her.

Bai Zhi didn’t sense it, she happily went into the medicinal store and bought two packages of herbs. Then, she bought some of Ru’er’s favorite dim sum from the nearby dim sum shop and turned to go back home. However, she heard painful groans when she passed by a narrow alley. The painful groans sounded like came from an old man who fell on the ground.

Bai Zhi looked around. There were people coming and going on the street, but the alley was very deserted. There was no one. This alley was obviously not a place where people often walked around. How could this old man fall here? The groaning sound was also strange.

When the maidservant saw that Bai Zhi kept staring in the alley, but didn’t go in. She thought she was scared. This was a good opportunity to perform better. If she performs well, she will be valued by Miss Bai in the future. She may be promoted the little maidservant to the big maidservant. Her monthly salary will be tripled by then.

At the thought of this, the maidservant suddenly felt a surge of energy throughout her body and stepped forward to rush in.

The maidservant went to the old man who fell on the ground, but before she could crouch, a stick appeared out of nowhere and knocked her out.

Bai Zhi was about to run away when she saw this scene, however, someone already blocked her path. After turning back, she saw the old man, who fell to the ground, also stood up. It was Bai Dabao, and he was holding a stick. The person who blocked her way was Bai Dazhu.
