Chapter Seven: Raise

  Bai Yichen was shocked. Such composure in the face of shocking events, he had only seen it in one person - Seventh Prince Xuan Yuan Ye, and now she...

  The annoyance in Bai Yichen's heart grew more turbulent, as if he suddenly lost his original calmness. With a hint of anger, he growled, "Meng Fuying, you're really something. You just wanted to get my attention, didn't you? You just wanted me to change my decision about the divorce...?"

  She gently waved her hand and once again wrapped the snow in her arms, enjoying its smooth comfort. Her red lips opened slightly once more.

  "Feng Gongzi is really too polite......" The words paused slightly, took a light sip of tea, and then continued to add, "You're welcome."

  "Cough." Qing Zhu almost choked on his own saliva. He looked at Meng Fu Ying with a hint of resentment.

  What she said was almost fatal, but what the master added was also too unexpected.

  Bai Yichen's face changed instantly, and a faint blush appeared on his cheeks. Her words were indeed too hurtful, but he had never thought that what he said to Meng Fuying before was even more hurtful, ten times, a hundred times.

  Meng Fu Ying finally raised her eyes, looking at him, because the corners of her eyes were narrowed, so they seemed a bit small, but they were piercing and cold, as if seeing through everything.

  To say.

  This man is indeed a perfect handsome guy. The phrases " jade tree in the wind" and "elegant demeanor" can't even describe one-tenth of his temperament.

  Eyes as black as ink jade, straight and upright nose bridge, sexy thin lips, every detail is perfect enough to make girls scream.

  But he has not only a bookish elegance and refinement, but also a businessman's astuteness. A man like this is indeed rare to see.

  No wonder Meng Fu Ying was so infatuated with him before, but unfortunately, his heart wasn't on her, why humiliate her in every way and even cruelly take her life.

  Bai Yichen was stunned again, her eyes seemed small, but they had an unusual luster due to that gaze.

  "Now that you're here, I'll take the opportunity to tell you that after my father returns, I will ask him to request the Emperor to annul our engagement." She would be the one to initiate the divorce.

  Bai Yichen's body suddenly stiffened, and in his heart, he suddenly had a dull feeling, as if he couldn't breathe.

  His eyes widened in incredulity as he stared at her, his mind reeling with the impossibility of what she had just said - that she wanted to call off the wedding?

  She loves Chen so much, how could she cancel the wedding? It's impossible, absolutely impossible. She must be trying to play hard to get. However, when her eyes turned to Bai Yichen and saw the unusual expression on his face, she was even more shocked.

  Bai Yichen won't have fallen for this woman's trick, will he? What about Lan'er then?

  Feng Lingyun left the Hou Mansion without the same swagger as when he arrived, and Bai Yichen's expression was even more peculiar.

  The two of them walked away, and even forgot about the antidote.

  "Master, you just deliberately provoked Bai Gongzi, didn't you?" After they left, Qing Zhu looked at Meng Fu Ying with a hint of probing.

  "Do you think I have that much free time?" Meng Fu Ying gave her a cold glance, startling Bai Yichen. She didn't have the time to waste on him.

  "But Master, you clearly loved Bai Gongzi so much and had your heart set on marrying him. How could you suddenly...?" Qing Zhu asked, her body shrinking back slightly but still not giving up.

  Meng Fu's eyes widened slightly, and he wanted to say that a person's emotions couldn't change so quickly. He then explained in a low voice, "After that collision, I came to realize that emotional matters can't be forced. If it's yours, it's yours; if not, no amount of forcing will make it happen."

  "The master has finally come to his senses, that's great." Qing Zhu said with a relieved face, although Bai Gongzi was indeed excellent, so excellent that everyone in the capital city was eager to marry him, but he bullied the master so much, and even if the master married him, she wouldn't be happy.

  "Right, servant..." Qing Zhu suddenly remembered something and said again.

  "Don't use that kind of address in front of me, it's annoying to hear." However, Meng Cuiying quickly interrupted Qing Zhu, in her opinion, all people are equal, what's with the "little" and "servant", she finds it annoying to hear.

  The green bamboo was stunned, looking at her with some unclear meaning, "Master, what's the title?"

  "From now on, in front of me, use my self-proclaimed name. If anyone lets me hear the words 'slave' or 'servant' again, I will punish them." Meng Fu Ying's eyes scanned the people in the courtyard, her face stern.

  "Master, how can this be, I..." Qing Zhu was shocked and exclaimed repeatedly.

  "Hmm?" Meng Fu Ying's eyes, with a hint of warning, looked at her, causing her words to get stuck in her throat.

  "If you want to follow me, then listen to me." Meng Bufei spoke again, his voice with a few more obvious threats.

  Qing Zhu hesitated for a moment before responding in a low voice, "Yes... Qing Zhu understands."

  That single word from her was something she didn't dare to use, calling out his name wasn't considered too rude. However, in her slightly lowered eyes, a hint of emotion was hidden.

  She has been treated like a princess since she was young, when has she ever been treated equally by others, now that the master is treating her this way, how can she not be moved.

  The other girls, amidst their astonishment, also felt a few pangs of gratitude.

  "I've already reported the matter to the Empress Dowager, and since Master's body is fine now, why not go into the palace tomorrow to pay respects to the Empress Dowager?" Qing Zhu said softly after a pause.

  "Good." Meng Fu Ying responded with a refreshing tone.

  In that memory, the Empress Dowager always doted on her, even though she was silly and often caused trouble, the Empress Dowager still spoiled her so much.
