As soon as Chu Feng stepped his foot in the Flower Hall, Bai Zhenzhu also arrived. The two looked at each other. One looked at the opposite person with shame, while the other one looked with observation.

Bai Zhenzhu slowly paid respect, following the teachings of her tutor. She used the most graceful posture of all, but in Chu Feng’s eyes, it was ridiculous.

 

Chu Feng remained calm, gently raised his hand, and said with a light tone: “Miss Pei doesn’t need to be polite, sit down!”

The maidservant quickly served the freshly brewed tea. Chu Feng held the teacup in his hand, the scrapped the foam while looking at Bai Zhenzhu. After taking a glance, he didn’t take another look. Seeing her today, he felt even more dissatisfied than the last time.

The woman in front of her had a heavenly gap from Doctor Bai he had seen in the palace last night.

 

Chu Feng’s throat was dry, but he didn’t mean to drink tea. He immediately set aside the teacup and asked Bai Zhenzhu: “In Qingyuan Town, does Miss Pei have other relatives?”

Bai Zhenzhu’s shy and timid expression immediately turned stiff. She looked up and stared at Chu Feng’s eyes. When she met his cold eyes, her heart trembled as she pondered what he meant by asking this.

 

“Is it difficult to answer?” Chu Feng asked again when he saw that she didn’t answer.

Bai Zhenzhu returned to her senses, then secretly warned herself not to panic. The more she warned herself, the more she became calm.

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and lowered her head to hide the panic in her eyes, then said: “Your Royal Highness, thank you for your concern. But before coming to the capital there was a fire in our house. My grandmother died and our ancestral house became a ruin. When I was on the verge of helplessness, my father came and brought me here. That’s why I am here today.”

She vaguely said, but those words didn’t answer Chu Feng’s question.

Chu Feng was naturally dissatisfied, and then asked again: “Do you have sisters of the same age?”

Bai Zhenzhu’s heart trembled. She tried to calm down, but she couldn’t hide the panic in her eyes.

 

“What? Is it hard to say yes? Or you just don’t wanna say?” Chu Feng asked.

 

Bai Zhenzhu gritted her teeth and asked: “I wonder what your Highness means? If you are so curious, why don’t you ask my father?”

Chu Feng shrugged his shoulders: “I wanted to ask, but your father is unconscious now, so I can only come to ask you. Besides, you know this matter most clearly, so I ask you directly. Why do you have to turn around the bush? It’s just a simple matter, you just need to tell the truth. Why are you evading it?”

Bai Zhenzhu’s hands under her sleeves kept trembling. Even her lips began to tremble.

First, Pei Qinghan scolded Concubine Xiang and locked her in the firewood house. Then Prince Xiao came to their door and asked her about this matter as soon as he met her. This was not an accident.

Could it be that things were revealed? Could it be that Bai Zhi didn’t die? Could it be Dongfang Wan recognized Bai Zhi as her daughter now?

The more she thought about this matter, the more she was frightened. Her complexion was already pale. If it was as she thought, and Bai Zhi didn’t die, and even was recognized by Dongfang Wan as her daughter, what would happen to her?

 

Bai Zhenzhu’s back was covered with cold sweat. There was a burning stove in the flower hall, but her body trembled constantly.

Seeing Bai Zhenzhu’s appearance, Chu Feng’s heart was like a mirror. The woman in front of him was a fake, she was simply a fake. He doesn’t care about this before, but right now, the real daughter appeared. So what’s the use of this fake good? And his marriage arrangement with this fake became a joke.

He, Chu Feng will become the joke of the whole capital soon!

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He wanted to tear the woman in front of him, but he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. Without saying another word, he got up and walked away.

The maidservants, who were waiting in the flower hall were confused. They didn’t know what Prince Xiao and their eldest miss were fighting about. They didn’t say much, so why their faces look so scary?
