Mrs. Zhang couldn’t bear to see the scar on her face, as well as the disappointment in her daughter’s eyes. She turned her head away and said with a slightly choking voice: “Mother is useless, I can’t take you away. The marquis only gave us one hour and just this one time.”
The fire of hope that had just risen in Bai Zhenzhu’s heart was suddenly extinguished. As if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head, freezing her up to the bone.
She suddenly felt that the world was spinning. She stumbled and fell forward. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang was by her side and raised her hand to support her.
“Zhenzhu, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare mother, what’s wrong with you? Are you sick?”
Bai Zhenzhu gradually returned to her senses. She knelt on the ground, hugged Mrs. Zhang Shi’s leg tightly, and cried, “Mother, mother, you can’t leave me. Take me away. Mother, take me away. I don’t want to live like this, I’ll die, mother-”
Seeing her daughter’s appearance, Mrs. Zhang was in so much pain that she couldn’t even breathe. She squatted down and hugged Bai Zhenzhu tightly, then try to pull her up.
Bai Zhenzhu refused. She tried her best to kneel and refused to get up: “Mother if you don’t take me away, I will kneel and die here.”
Bai Erzhu frowned. His daughter was still ignorant even after coming to this point. This was not Qingyuan Town, let alone Huangtuo Village. How can she do whatever she wants?
This was the Changyuan Houfu. After entering from the side door of the mansion, how many servants and guards did they meet along the way? As long as Marquis didn’t nod his head. They wouldn’t be able to take her away even if they risked their lives.
“Get up and talk first. If you continue doing this, I’ll leave now.” Bai Erzhu said coldly.
Bai Zhenzhu was stunned. She looked at her mother and father with tears in her eyes. She got up with Bai Fugui’s help and Mrs. Zhang. The family sat on the edge of the cold bed. There was not even a hot tea inside.
Mrs. Zhang asked some questions and asked her daughter to answer honestly.
At this point, Bai Zhenzhu didn’t try to hide anything. When she was asked, she answered.
After listening to it, it was almost the same as what Bai Zhi said. Previously, she was still a bit hopeful. Hoping that if it was just a misunderstanding, maybe there could turn the tide.
But now it seems that her daughter did those murders and arson.
Seeing her mother’s pale face and silence, Bai Zhenzhu knelt on the ground again and kowtowed several times at Mrs. Zhang: “Mother, this daughter is begging you, please take me away. I really can’t stay here any longer. I’m really going to die.”
This time, no one came to help her.
Mrs. Zhang was dumbfounded. Bai Erzhu sighed while Bai Fugui looked terrified.
He didn’t expect his sister to become such a person.
They have traveled thousands of miles. Did they sell their house and fields, just to find such a kind of sister?
Who knows how long they stayed silent, but in the end, Mrs. Zhang opened her mouth: “Do you know where Bai Zhi lives?”
Bai Zhenzhu quickly nodded her head: “I know, she lives in Dongfang Family Mansion. She is Dongfang Mu’s granddaughter. That Dongfang Mu is a remarkable person. Even the emperor give him some face. She lived every day in glory and wealth.”
Mrs. Zhang frowned. At this time, in her daughter’s heart, she was still thinking about wealth and glory? Didn’t she know that she became like this after thinking about wealth and glory that didn’t belong to her?
“Mother, Pei Qinghan has always wanted to recognize Bai Zhi, but Bai Zhi ignored him, so he vent his anger on me. As long as you go to Bai Zhi and beg her again and again, she may become soft. As long as Bai Zhi says a word, Pei Qinghan will let me go. Mother, you must help me!”
