Bai Zhi recognized the handwriting on the letter, It’s was Meng Nan’s handwriting.
“Meng Nan’s letter?”
Boss Chen nodded: “Exactly, it was Meng Nan’s messenger, who sent the letter. He said it was an urgent matter, so I must deliver it to you immediately.”
Hearing that it was an urgent matter, Bai Zhi didn’t dare to delay. She immediately opened the letter, but the more she read, the more her eyebrows frowned and the more her face became ugly.
“What’s wrong? What’s going on?” Zhou Awu asked anxiously.
Bai Zhi closed the letter and said with a calm face: “Meng Nan said that his mother learned about the matter between me and him. He’s afraid that she will do something bad to me, so he wants me to move out quickly.” She then pulled out the money in the envelope, it was three pieces of one thousand silver ticket. He was quite generous, but this was not what she wanted.
What does he mean by the matter between her and him? There was nothing between them, right? She doesn’t want to carry this black pot!
She refused to go to the capital so that she can live a quiet and comfortable life. Now, she lived a better life. She doesn’t cause trouble to others, but they keep provoking her.
Zhou Awu was puzzled: “His mother learned about the matter between you and him? What this matter? You need to move out? Why is that?”
Boss Chen sighed: “Awu Dage, you don’t know. Meng Nan is the only son of the Meng family. He shoulders the prosperity and decline of the Meng family. The Meng family learned that he likes a powerless girl in the mountain village. How could they accept it? They will do everything possible to cut off Meng Nan’s thoughts to ensure the interest of Meng Family.”
What? Meng Gongzi like Zhi’er? Is there something between them?
What about his highness, Prince Jin?
Seeing Zhou Awu’s face, Bai Zhi knew that he had misunderstood her. So, he busily said: “I and Meng Nan are just friends. There is nothing else. So even if the Meng Family come in our door, they shouldn’t trouble for no reason!”
Boss Chen said: “What you said is true as long as you stay firm. They can’t do anything to you without proper reason.” Then, he suddenly thought of something.
“Zhi’er, I think of an idea. It’s just I don’t know if I should say it or not.”
Bai Zhi busily said: “You say it.”
“If the Meng family comes to your door, it’s all because they are afraid of you snatching their precious son. If you made an engagement with another man, they will disregard Meng Nan’s thoughts. Additionally, the Meng Family will not cause you trouble.”
Zhou Awu anxiously said, “That can’t be. Zhi’er will marry Hu Feng. They are a couple. How can you ask her to get engage with another man? This can’t be done.”
Bai Zhi suddenly thought of a plan, she smiled and said: “In fact, I have been engaged.”
The two were dumbfounded and asked in unison: “With whom? Why I didn’t know this?”
Bai Zhi took out a jade hairpin in her sleeve, she held it her hand and raised it, then said: “This is the token of my engagement, we can just make an engagement letter.”
Zhou Awu breathed a sigh of relief. He had seen this jade hairpin. This was his Highness birthday gift to Bai Zhi.
Boss Chen asked, “Who is it?” He was very curious about this person who can even defeat Meng Nan. Who could have captured her heart?
Zhou Awu smirked: “Do you still need to ask? Of course, it’s Hu Feng. They are a natural pair.”
Boss Chen was shocked but also felt relieved. Hu Feng was indeed a good man. He also felt that he was a good match to Bai Zhi.
“Chen Dage, since this letter was sent to you, if the Meng family comes, they will look for you first. At that time, please help me.”
Boss Chen said with a smile: “That is natural, that’s natural.”
“Today is my birthday. I prepared a feast at home. It’s better if you stay and drink a cup or two before you go back!” Bai Zhi simply added.
