Seeing Mrs. Liu fell in silence, Bai Zhenzhu continued to say: “Aunt, I am now the daughter of Changyuan Houfu. Naturally, I must follow the rules of the daughter of Changyuan Houfu. But Houye knows that I am just a fake. Before I married Prince Jin, how many benefits do you think he would give me?”

Mrs. Liu thought carefully, what Bai Zhenzhu said was not unreasonable. Pei Qinghan knew that she was a fake, he just brought her to the capital, so that she could marry Prince Jin and let the Changyuan Houfu has a relationship with the imperial family. If this can’t be done, Bai Zhenzhu was useless to Pei Qinghan.

Mrs. Liu raised her eyes and looked at the gold ornaments on Bai Zhenzhu’s head. Her hand was itchy, so she reached out and pulled another one, then said with a smile: “This is also beautiful, give it to me!”

Bai Zhenzhu wanted to curse in anger, but she couldn’t tear her face at the moment. She could only hold back and said, “Okay, take it if you like. But remember, if there is nothing important in the future, don’t come to me.” Mrs. Liu’s eyes swept her eyes in the room again. The box was open, and the dress inside could be seen.

Her eyes lit up and hurried forward to look.

Bai Zhenzhu saw that Mrs. Liu’s unwashed hands touched the fabrics and her fingerprints immediately imprinted on the clean and smooth cloth.

“Oh, these clothes are really good. They must be very warm.” She looked at the clothes she was wearing, quickly took off the outer clothing, and directly picked a suit she liked from the box and put it on.

These clothes were all tailored by the tailor brought by Pei Qinghan on the day Bai Zhenzhu entered the mansion. Her figure was different from Mrs. Liu’s. Although Mrs. Liu was thin and she can wear it on her body, it was still smaller for her size.

“It’s tight, but it doesn’t matter, it’s good and warm!” She put it on, so naturally, she won’t take it off again.

Bai Zhenzhu pressed her anger and said with a calm face: “Take it, wear it, can you go now?”

The smile on Mrs. Liu’s face almost reached her ears. She didn’t care about Bai Zhenzhe not giving her much face. Because not only she got 20 silver coins, but also 2 gold hairpins and a gorgeous new dress. She was very happy inside her heart that she felt like she was floating in the air.

“Okay, I’m going to leave now, but remember, Xiaofeng wants to study, Dabao wants to marry, and our family lives in the capital. We spend money every day. Now, we can rely on you. Do you understand what I mean?” Mrs. Liu said with a smile.

Bai Zhenzhu frowned: “What do you mean by this? Are you threatening me?”

Mrs. Liu waved her hand: “I’m not threatening you, but reminding you.”

Bai Zhenzhu snorted: “Aunt, don’t forget, not only I know this thing. Houye also knows this. If you threaten me, it’s the same as threatening Houye. I can’t do anything about you. But I think with Houye’s status in the capital, is enough to find a way.”

Mrs. Liu dryly smiled. She didn’t expect that Bai Zhenzhu’s tongue became sharp. Looking at her posture, it seems she now regarded herself as the eldest miss, right?

Bai Zhenzhu continued to say: “Aunt, isn’t it better if you will figure out what is the biggest threat to us now? Don’t you think so?”

Mrs. Liu didn’t understand what she means: “What is the biggest threat? You speak clearly.”

“Who’s identity did I have, don’t you know.”

Mrs. Liu immediately replied: “You mean Bai Zhi? She is far in the northwest, what can she do to us?”

Bai Zhenzhu said: “Who can tell what will happen in the future? Aren’t we also in the northwest a few days ago? Did you ever think that we will be here today?”
