After hearing Hu Feng’s words, Dongfang Mu’s anger eased a lot. He felt his words were reasonable, so he immediately nodded his head: “That’s right, after hurting Wan’er and our Dongfang Family, we should clean them up and make them lose their face. When Wan’er divorces him, it’s not too late to clean him up.”
After Baizhi soaked in the hot bath, she felt her eyelids weighed a thousand pounds, and she soon fell asleep to the bed. When she woke up, it was already afternoon.
The maidservant brought her hot meals. However, she just had a few mouthfuls when suddenly, she thought of something in her mind. Something that she felt wrong before. At this time, she had finally figured it out. And so, she immediately put down her chopsticks, got up, put on her outer coat, and hurriedly rushed out the door.
When she entered the hall, she saw Hu Feng was drinking tea with Dongfang Mu. She found it strange. He didn’t leave? He had been very busy these days that she can’t even see him, so why he stayed here all day?
Seeing Bai Zhi coming in, Hu Feng hurriedly got up and greeted her. Seeing that her complexion had recovered a lot, the stone in his heart finally disappeared: “After having a good night’s sleep, how do you feel?”
Bai Zhi smiled lightly: “I’m fine, I feel much better now.”
Dongfang Mu happily said: “Looking at you in a hurry, do you have something important to say?”
Bai Zhi nodded her head: “It’s really something important. In the morning, you said that you sent Bai Dazhu and Bai Dabao to the Yamen. I felt something wrong, but I didn’t know what was wrong at that time. But now, I understand it.”
Hu Feng busily asked: “What’s wrong?”
Bai Zhi replied: “If Bai Dazhu and Bai Dabao are really instigated by Pei Qinghan or Bai Zhuzhu, now that they are in the Yamen, I’m afraid that they will not survive today. They won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow.”
Hu Feng’s complexion changed a bit. He figured out the main point. He was so concerned with Bai Zhi’s safety that he didn’t think too much about it. At this time, he was really careless.
Dongfang Mu got up and said to Hu Feng: “You stand up, let’s go to the Yamen now. This old man wants to see how capable these monkeys are.”
“I want to go too!” Bai Zhi said.
Hu Feng knew how stubborn she was. So now that she said she wanted to go, if he didn’t agree, she would find a way on her own. It would be better to bring her by his side instead of letting her find a way by herself.
Hu Feng nodded his head and said: “You can go, but you need to change into men’s clothing. There are a lot of taboos and rules in the Yamen. It’s inconvenient if you go with us wearing women’s clothing.”
Bai Zhi hurriedly went back to her yard and changed into men’s clothing. She dressed up as a servant and followed behind Hu Feng and Dongfang Mu. Then, the three of them got into the carriage together.
Hu Feng looked at the ‘young boy’ with red lips and white teeth in front of him. He was very satisfied with her appearance. No matter what she wore, as long as she was by his side, he would feel very at ease. He really wanted to take her back to his place and watch her day and night.
Dongfang Mu coughed twice, glared at Hu Feng, and said with a bad tone: “You kid, do you treat me like air? I really want to give you a mirror, so you could see what you look like right now. You are drooling like a hungry ghost while looking at my granddaughter. If you do this again, I will make you regret it.”
Hu Feng said with a smile: “Master, Zhi’er is my fiancee. I am looking at my fiancee, what is wrong with that?”
Dongfang Mu sneered: “Oh! You know that she’s your fiancee? A fiancee means that you haven’t married her yet. You must avoid suspicion.”
Hu Feng smiled and said: “I am avoiding suspicion. If not, I would have taken her to my mansion a long time ago. Why would I bother to run to your Dongfang Family Mansion every day?”
