Dongfang Mu raised an eyebrow and said: “That’s a pity. These cakes are dipped in powdered sugar and they taste really good.”

Bai Zhi almost sprays the porridge out of her mouth. Her grandfather’s words were really funny. If Madam Meng heard it, wouldn’t she be angry?

After breakfast, Bai Zhi went to see Madam Meng and asked Dongfang Mu if he was going. Dongfang Mu waved his hand: “I eat too much, I have to digest it before going over. You go first, and I’ll come over later.”

When Bai Zhi arrived, Meng Yuande also just arrived. He accompanied Madam Meng and Meng Nan to have breakfast. Meng Nan was afraid that his mother would be greedy for sweets, so he didn’t let the maidservant serve those. They ate the same meal as his mother.

When Meng Yuande saw Bai Zhi entering the room, he hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand and hurried to the door: “Miss Bai, you’re here!.” He said with a smile on the face, but his eyes were looking behind her.

Bai Zhi nodded at him and went straight to Madam Meng.

Madam Meng looked at her coldly. Her eyes were as sharp as the knife. As if she wanted to shed Bai Zhi’s body into pieces and look through her inside and out.

Bai Zhi had been mentally prepared for a long time. Madam Meng didn’t like her. She thought that she seduced Meng Nan and so she sent her close maidservant to Huangtuo Village to inquire. She didn’t forget about this, she kept remembering it.

There was a faint smile on her face when she collided her eyes on her, then softly said: “Madam, let me check your pulse!”

Madam. Meng didn’t move, she still stared at Bai Zhi with cold eyes and said coldly: “The appearance is really good, no wonder my Nan’er treats you–”

Before Madam. Meng had finished speaking, she was immediately interrupted by Meng Nan: “Mother, what are you talking about?”

Meng Yuande was waiting for Dongfang Mu. So he leaned on his chair while glancing outside. He didn’t see any sign of Dongfang Mu coming, so he shrank back, but then heard his wife’s words and frowned.

If this girl belongs to an ordinary girl, and his wife would say this, he wouldn’t say anything. But this girl was not an ordinary person. If those words were heard by Dongfang Mu, it would be a disaster.

“Madam, don’t talk nonsense, Miss Bai is here to check your condition. Don’t say anything anymore.” Master Meng said and busily winked at his wife.

Unfortunately, his wife didn’t look at him, her eyes were always on Bai Zhi’s body.

“Didn’t you say that you won’t come to the capital? So why are you here? In the end, you can’t resist the temptation of prosperity?”

Madam Meng’s eyes became sharper, and what she said made people feel uncomfortable.

Bai Zhi softly replied: “Whether I come to the capital or not, depends on my own volition. I will come when I want to come, and I will leave when I want to leave. No one can control me. As for the temptation of prosperity and wealth, no matter where I am, if I want to be reach and prosperous, it’s very easy for me to do it. Unlike some people relying on the glorious and wealth passed down by their ancestors. This thing is hard to say if it will last forever!”

“You–what do you mean by that?” Madam Meng was so angry that she asked while pointing her finger at Bai Zhi’s nose.

This kind of words, Bai Zhi didn’t want to say it, but if she didn’t say it, Madam Meng will not know that she was not easy to bully. If they met again next time, she might say something nasty again to her. If this was the case, it’s better to solve it once, so as not to let her get angry again.

Meng Nan rushed to her mother’s side in anxiousness: “Mother, Zh’ier didn’t mean that, don’t think too much!”

“Doesn’t mean that? I am thinking too much? Didn’t you hear what she said? Isn’t she making fun of our Meng Family for eating our heritage wealth?”
