C35 (2/2)

”So I was wrong. However, Elder Bai will not agree. If you don't believe me, go and try it out tomorrow. ”

How is it possible to acknowledge someone as your goddaughter?

He did not agree.

When Old Prince Mo heard this, he couldn't help but nod his head. Judging from the scoundrel's love for his grandson, he would definitely not agree. He had to think of a way to make him hand the person over.

”Don't worry about it. I have my ways. Just wait for me to have another sister!”

Old Prince Mo had an evil grin on his face as he walked back to his own courtyard happily.

Only Jun Mohan was left standing in the snow, stunned for a moment.

”Qing Shu, give this to Old General Bai. Remember, you are not allowed to pass by anyone's hands.

As the night fell, Jun Mohan locked himself in his study and thought for a long time. He would not let his grandfather take Bai Zhixi as his granddaughter after he had let Qing Shu deliver a letter to the Old General Bai.

Xiang Fu Xi Yu Court

Bai Zhixi lied on his bed, thinking back to what Jun Mohan had said that day.

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but fall asleep. She didn't know that there was a big conspiracy waiting for her in the distance.

A few more days passed and from that day onwards, Old General Bai did not step into her courtyard. Bai Zhixi stayed in her courtyard everyday to recuperate and recover, her body gradually recovering. She wanted to ask grandfather to teach her martial arts in a few days.

However, she did not expect that a huge matter had occurred in the Residence of Prime Minister. Third Young Miss Bai Zhiyan had gone missing for no reason.

If everyone knew that the young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate had gone missing, it would be because the guards of the Prime Minister's Estate weren't strong enough. They wouldn't even be able to protect a single person. If not, it would be hard for him to even find his wife, let alone enter the palace.

Furthermore, with the Emperor's birthday coming up, the citizens knew that there would be a birthday banquet on the surface, and they were secretly selecting princess for the crown prince. At this moment, all the girls of the Shangguan family were carefully waiting for their choices, afraid that something would go wrong. They swept away the royal family's face and caused Long Yan to be infuriated.

If he were to disappear now, wouldn't that be a slap to the face of the royal family?

First Madam sealed the news immediately after finding out, but there was no wall that didn't leak out the news. Within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the news had spread throughout the entire Prime Minister's residence.

After the Prime Minister Bai found out, he ordered everyone in the mansion to gather in the great hall.

Bai Zhixi was deep in sleep, but unexpectedly, he was dragged out of bed by Lan Yi and Zi Li. After casually dressing up, he helped her walk towards the hall.

”Pah!” This was really going against the will of the heavens. The dignified Prime Minister actually caused such a thing to happen! Hurry up and send someone to find it for me. ”

Old General Bai sat on the main seat, staring at the people in the courtyard with his black tiger eyes, emitting an intimidating aura that caused everyone to not dare to breathe, all of a sudden I look at you, you look at me, do you not know what happened?

”Achoo …” Bai Zhixi woke up from his sleep and rubbed his nose. Standing there in the morning and blowing the cold wind, he had frozen her to death. The Old General Bai glared at her fiercely, but she ignored him.

Who is the maidservant serving in the Third Miss' room, tell me, where have you all been since last night until this morning? Think back carefully. If you can't remember, go and collect your own punishment. Father, it was my mistake. I'll take care of it. ”

Accompanied by the Auntie Du, he sat in the great hall. His eagle-like eyes swept across the crowd, daring to play tricks right under his nose.

”Reporting to master, this servant was Third Miss's personal maidservant. Last night, after I helped Third Miss sleep, I rested in the room next door. This morning, I woke up to wake Third Miss up, but I found out that she had gone missing. It was all my fault, please punish her.”

The sparrow knelt in front of the crowd and trembled as it explained everything, afraid that it would be scolded by the Prime Minister Bai.

”What about you?”

Prime Minister Bai swept his gaze across the group of maidservant s kneeling beside Bird, and a trace of fierceness flashed across his eyes. He was so scared that maidservant broke out in cold sweat, but he didn't dare to show it.

”Master, Third Miss said last night that she wanted to rest. As long as Big Sister Sparrow served us alone and chased us out, we would all go back to our rooms early last night to rest. Mother Zhao can bear witness to this.”

One of the more daring maidservant forced herself to say this. This matter was related to her own life, so she had no choice but to speak the truth.

”Is that so? ”Mother Zhao.”

Mother Zhao was an old man from the Prime Minister's Palace, the First Madam's maid of honor. The First Madam trusted her very much, and it was the same for the Prime Minister Bai.

”Reporting to the old master, yes, these maidservant s have never come out since they entered the room.”

When Mother Zhao thought about First Madam's arrangements last night, her hand was covered in cold sweat. She nervously twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand, and continued to calmly respond to Prime Minister Bai's questions, as if she was afraid that others would see through her.
