Chapter 47
Baili Hongzhaung refused to sell her immortality pills to the General's Household, and had even crippled Baili Haoxuan's hand in front of everybody's eyes!
Prime Minister Li Chengqian's people, and those who weren't on good terms with Baili Zhentao were all enjoying the chaos. Who knew Baili Zhentao would be so blind?
In their opinion, between Baili Zhentao's 3 children, Baili Yuyan, Baili Haoxuan, and Baili Hongzhuang, Baili Hongzhuang had the most potential.
But now, she had become Baili Zhentao's opponent!
It was just too funny- a single Baili Hongzhuang could beat Baili Zhentao left and right!
Jingli Garden.
"I heard you taught Baili Haoxuan a lesson today?" Dibei Chen asked, smiling.
Baili Hongzhaung nodded a little, "News spreads fast in the Imperial City."
It had only been a short 4 hours since it happened, but so many people already know.
"Baili Haoxuan is Baili Zhentao's treasured son. Now that you've crippled his hand, I'm afraid that Baili Zhentao won't forgive you."
Baili Hongzhuang raised her eyebrow. She wanted to know why Dibei Chen mention such a thing.
"I think we should marry earlier. Once you're my wife, Baili Zhentao no longer have the least bit of influence over you. What do you think?" Dibei Chen smiled as he looked at Baili Hongzhuang.
Baili Hongzhuang was a little startled, she never expected for Dibei Chen to come out with such a story.
Her mind thought rapidly as she gazed at Dibei Chen. Suddenly, she smiled, "Good!"
Baili Hongzhuang was still under Baili Zhentao's influence. Outsiders didn't know what happened inside the General Household's walls, so many people in the Imperial City were calling her unfilial and disrespectful.
Dibei Chen saying such a thing now meant he was worried for her.
Seeing Baili Hongzhuang agree so happily, Dibei Chen's smile grew more and more brilliant. His eyes that were like shattered gems glittered brightly.
"If you don't mind I'll start preparing the betrothal gifts." Dibei Chen grinned quietly.
Baili Hongzhuang slightly frowned, "I've cut off all ties with the General's Household, so I wouldn't be marrying from that house."
"No problem." Dibei Chen wasn't surprised, "So then how about you marry from Jingli Garden?"
Baili Hongzhuang smiled. Her actions would've certainly been seen as random or stupid by others, but Dibei Chen always understood what she thought.
"Little Lord, Baili Zhentao was furious when he heard about what happened, and was preparing to go teach Lady Baili a lesson at G.o.dly Doctor Square."
Hei Mu's face was heavy as he reported to Dibei Chen.
"Should I send some people to teach Baili Zhentao a lesson himself?"
Although he knew his lord
When Lady Baili wasn't good, she was treated unjustly by the General's Household. Now, Baili Haoxuan even threatened to kill her, saying she was an unfilial daughter.
Before when Baili Yuyan had blinded Lady Baili, they've never seen Baili Zhentao give Baili Yuyan the slightest bit of punishment!
"Send someone to warn Baili Zhentao. Make sure not to expose our ident.i.ty."
Dibei Chen's eyes glimmered with cold light. Baili Hongzhuang was one of his people, whoever dared to bully her, he'll never let off!
When Hei Mu heard Dibei Chen's words, he couldn't help but stare at him, stunned. Usually when he proposed the idea, his little lord would never agree. How could it be different now?
Could it be because of…… of Lady Baili?
"Wait a minute."
Dibei Chen suddenly stopped him. Hei Mu couldn't help but worry, his little lord didn't change his mind, right?
"Cripple that old codger's hand as well!"
"As you wis.h.!.+"
The next day, Baili Hongzhuang went to G.o.dly Doctor Square as usual, waiting for Baili Zhentao to come and cause trouble.
With Baili Zhentao's temper, once he knew she was the one who crippled Baili Haoxuan's arm, he'd never let her off.
But after waiting a whole day in G.o.dly Doctor Square, Baili Hongzhuang didn't even catch a glimpse of Baili Zhentao. A touch of doubt appeared in her eyes.
"Baili Zhentao, that old codger isn't going to not come, is he?" Little Black asked as he hopped.
Little White also thought it was strange, "I doubt that old crank's kind enough to."
As Baili Hongzhuang thought, Ji Wenbin walked over smiling, "Baili Hongzhuang, I heard something funny, haha."
"What's so funny?"
"Yesterday, didn't you cripple Baili Haoxuan's hand?" Ji Wenbin's face was full of glee.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly, "Yes, everybody knew about that yesterday. What's funny?"
Ji Wenbin waved his hands, "That's not the funniest part! The funniest thing is that just today, the General Household's General Baili Zhentao's hand also got crippled!"
Baili Hongzhaung was startled, "Is that the truth?"
"Of course it's true. I've only just heard myself, but pretty soon, everybody would know."
Ji Wenbin laughed, "The General's Household has been bullying you for so long, now the evil they've done are being repaid in kind!"
Her exquisite face smiled. Baili Hongzhuang couldn't help but think of Dibei Chen. Could this matter…… be because of him?
Currently, the General's Household was in chaos.
Su Wanjing knew that Baili Haoxuan's right hand was broken. Although the doctor had reconnected the bones, it would take 3 months to completely heal. He wouldn't be able to partic.i.p.ate in the royal hunting feast.
She was hoping for Baili Zhentao to go and teach Baili Hongzhuang a lesson. Her precious son had never been injured for so many years.
Baili Hongzhuang dared to hit Haoxuan, it was absolutely unforgivable!
But now, Baili Zhentao was actually in front of her, clutching his lacerated right hand!
"Lord, what happened to you?" Su Wanjing asked, concerned.
Baili Zhentao's expression was very ugly, "Nothing, don't ask."
The facts were difficult to accept. Before he could even see his appearance, he was punched, and his right hand directly crippled!
Although Baili Zhentao didn't know who that person was, he knew the man had some sort of relations.h.i.+p to Baili Hongzhuang.
Just before he had disappeared, a few words were whispered into his ears-
'Don't bother Baili Hongzhuang, or suffer the consequences!'
He was terrified. He wasn't at all an opponent for this man who was able to quietly sneak into the General's Household.
If he were to look for trouble with Baili Hongzhuang, he's afraid that the General's Household will have it difficult!
At this moment, Baili Zhentao suddenly felt very regretful.
If he knew Baili Hongzhuang had such a large force supporting her, he never would've treated Baili Hongzhuang the way he did.
G.o.dly Doctor Square alone was a humongous treasure!
Moreover, isn't it even selling immortality pills there now?
Then thinking about all those years spent protecting the useless Baili Yuyan, he just couldn't understand why he had made such a choice!
