Dongfang Wan looked at Bai Zhi from head to toe, then asked urgently: “Are you really alright?”

Bai Zhi smiled and shook her head: “I’m alright, haven’t you seen it? Am I not standing well?”

 

Zhao Lan asked: “They, did they—” She couldn’t continue, she was very scared.

Bai Zhi shook her head: “No, they just tied me up and threw me into the pond. I broke the rope under the pond and took my life back. I am fine now.”

Zhao Lan and Dongfang Wan breathed out, but then immediately gritted their teeth and said: “This Bai Dazhu is really inhumane. I will not forgive him.”

At this time, another maidservant came to report that Dongfang Mu and Prince Jin were back.

Bai Zhi hurriedly fixed her messy hair, making herself look less embarrassed. However, she couldn’t hide her pale and tired face.

Hu Feng rushed into the hall and saw Bai Zhi. His eyes were filled with excitement. He rushed forward and took her into his arms. As if there were no other people around, and only the two of them were left in the whole world.

Dongfang Mu, who followed him, was very upset when he saw this. Are there still any elders like them in this kid’s eyes? In the presence of their elders, he dared to do something like this to his granddaughter. It was unbelievable. Although he thought so, his eyes were still full of smiles.

Bai Zhi blushed and punched Hu Feng’s chest: “Let go, my niang and grandfather are watching.”

Hu Feng released her from his embrace, but still grabbed her shoulders, checked her from head to toe, and asked: “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

Bai Zhi shook her head: “No, I just drank a few more sips of water and nothing else.”

 

Hu Feng grabbed her hand and checked it. Sure enough, there were clear traces of rope on her white and slender wrist. He gritted his teeth and angrily said: “I’m going to chop off their hands.”

Bai Zhi held him back and asked, “Have you found Bai Dazhu?”

Dongfang Mu said: “Not only did he found him, but he also chopped off one of Bai Dazhu’s arm. The two have been sent to the Yamen. They can only live in prison for a lifetime.”

Bai Zhi asked: “Did they said who instructed them?”

 

Dongfang Mu shook his head: “I didn’t ask, but it doesn’t matter. They were sent to the prison today, the trial will be tomorrow at the latest. Let’s go there tomorrow and listen, we will know it by then.”

Bai Zhi felt that something was wrong, but she couldn’t tell what was wrong, so she didn’t say more.

Zhao Lan said: “Zhi’er, you have been tired all day. Go back to your room and take a hot bath, then take a good night’s sleep to raise your spirits. Hu Feng and your grandfather will take care of this matter for you.”

 

Dongfang Mu also said: “Yes, your niang is right. We are both here, you don’t have to worry about it. Go and rest.”

Hu Feng was reluctant, he wanted to say a few more words with her. But he can see her tired face, so in the end, he also drove her back to her room.

After Bai Zhi left, Hu Feng’s face immediately sank. He slammed his hand on the handrail and angrily said: “This matter has nothing to do with Bai Dazhu. Bai Dazhu doesn’t know where Bai Zhi stay. Only Bai Zhenzhu know this. If she didn’t instruct them, Bai Dazhu will never look for this place.”

Dongfang Mu was also very angry. He rubbed his beard as he squinted his eyes: “Maybe Pei Qinghan is the real master behind the scenes, I’ll find him now.”

Hu Feng immediately stopped him and said: “Bai Zhi said, don’t move them for a while. Let the Pei Family and Chu Feng arrange their marriage first, and then send the divorce letter to Pei Qinghan’s hand. Once your Dongfang Family and Pei Family cut ties, you can slowly clean them up.”
