C118 (1/2)

Stepping through the gates of Prime Minister's Estate once again, Bai Zhixi's heart was filled with emotion.

What was waiting for her this time?

With such a huge Prime Minister's Estate, he occasionally saw a few maidservant s gathered together and whispering to each other. Then he took a broom and pretended to sweep the dust in the yard.

Bai Zhixi, who was walking behind, saw them all smiling at him, but he did not expect to scare them away.

She smiled bitterly. It seemed that the name ”Bane” did indeed have an extraordinary influence on the capital!

”Silly girl, don't worry about these blind servants. They don't know how to appreciate your talent. It's because they don't have good fortune.”

Old General Bai had also heard Master Pu Hai's divination to Bai Zhixi, and instantly became furious. If not for Green Tan and Blue Luan tightly holding him back, he would have long gone to the Jade Cloud Temple to inquire about the situation.

How could the granddaughter of his White City Wall be the bane of their existence?

”Grandfather, people's hearts are on others. No matter what they want to think, it doesn't matter to me.”

Bai Zhixi's slightly bitter smile immediately pierced Old General Bai's eyes. He swore in his heart that he would definitely settle the score with that old man Pu Hai.

The Drizzle Court was still in a state of disrepair. If there was a storm, the house that was in danger would definitely be washed to the point where not even bones would remain.

Bai Zhixi carefully pushed open the gate. The Plum Blossom Tree had long since lost its enchanting winter beauty. Surrounded by weeds, it was especially desolate in this deserted and shabby little courtyard.

In the two months that she had gone missing, First Madam ordered someone to seal her courtyard to prevent her from entering.

It seemed like Lan Yi's news had spread back to them, and because Prime Minister's Estate was responsible, they had to sever their relationship with him in a hurry!

”Miss, you're finally back.”

When Blue Luan and Huanghun walked into the courtyard, they saw her standing under a bare plum blossom tree. Her frail back always gave people a desire to protect her.

Old General Bai originally wanted her to live with him in his courtyard, but Bai Zhixi insisted on staying here.

Because she had many things that needed to be done secretly, it would be inconvenient for her to live with the Old General Bai.

”Blue Luan, thank you for your hard work these days!”

Bai Zhixi slowly turned his head, looking at the Blue Luan as though it had matured a little.

Compared to the others, he couldn't hide his happiness. Her relationship with Whirlwind should be excellent.

”Why do you say that, miss? It's only right for me to protect your family. ”

The Blue Luan held her hand tightly as it tried to restrain the tears that were about to flow.

She was unfamiliar with the young lady, but she was also very familiar with her.

She could feel the strength of the young lady's aura and know where she was, but she had only spent a few days with the young lady.

”Oh right, what happened in the past two months? ”Also, how is the investigation going?”

Bai Zhixi sat under the Plum Blossom Tree and ate the osmanthus cake prepared by the Old General Bai for her, as he faintly asked the Blue Luan.

When she left, she noticed that there seemed to be some connection between the First Madam and the witch church, so she asked the Blue Luan to secretly investigate.

Also, she had a nagging feeling that the Bai Zhixi from before had somehow drifted into the imperial mausoleum.

During her absence, the murderer would definitely let his guard down, and it would also be more convenient for the Blue Luan to investigate.

However, the moment she walked into the Prime Minister's Estate, she felt that the atmosphere of the Prime Minister's Estate was amiss. Could it be that the Auntie Du also learnt from the First Madam and covered the sky with one hand?

”Miss, speaking of this matter, it should be thanks to you.”

The Cyan Phoenix gave her a profound look, and then told her everything that had happened in the Prime Minister's Estate during these past two months.

So it turned out that First Madam had always been in contact with people from the witch church. Her mission was to torture the original Bai Zhixi to a state of idiocy, and then take out from her mouth the Bai Family's inherited treasure — — the existence of the blood bead.

However, even though Bai Zhixi had been tormented silly by her all these years, he still could not find out where the blood bead was.

So she secretly revealed the news to her daughter — Bai Zhiyan. She only said that the Old General Bai favored Bai Zhixi and passed the Prime Minister's Estate treasure map to her, saying that the treasure map was for the sake of buying half of the mountain.

After Bai Zhiyan heard this, he started to torture Bai Zhixi even more harshly.

On the second day of the fifth month, Crown Prince Dongfang Chen was inviting the younger generation of capital to admire the plum blossoms in his garden.

To put it bluntly, it was to choose a princess for himself.
