"Pa ?" The old lady could no longer hold it in and slammed the table and shouted, "Bai Li?er!"

Qiu Ping's body trembled as he quickly lowered himself.

The others were also shocked by this sudden sound.

Only Bai Li laughed leisurely, he raised his eyes and looked at the old lady, "If I, the person accused of the injustice, am not angry, why are you so angry, Grandmother?"

The old lady was so angry that her heart ached, her fingers trembling as she pointed at Bai Li, "You, you did such a shameful thing, you truly shamed my General's Estate ?"

Before the old lady finished lecturing him, Bai Li raised his eyebrows.

"How can rumors and slanders be trusted? Grandmother, as a Palace Mistress, is she also as common as the citizens outside?"

The old lady's face turned red from Bai Li's words, she humphed and said, "Then why don't you explain to me what exactly is going on between the Misty Rain Tower and the Xue Xiaohou?"

Bai Li laughed sinisterly and raised his eyebrows, "A clear person will never believe me. I will not explain to the people who believe me, and he will believe me, and he will not believe me no matter what I say."

When everyone heard this, they were stunned.

"Granddaughter has just recovered from a serious illness and is tired. I'll take my leave now."

Bai Li lowered his head slightly. Without waiting for the old lady to speak, he leisurely turned around and brought Qi Wen and Yun Zhi with him.

"Look, look! It's the opposite!"

The old lady was so angry that she clutched her chest and leaned against the pillow.

"Grandmother, be careful."

Bai Ruoyu immediately went forward to support the old lady.

The rest of the group poured tea as well, twisting the handkerchief in their hands.

The Second Madam looked at Bai Li's leaving figure with a profound gaze.

Bai Li brought Qi Wen and Yun Zhi back to the West Prefecture.

The blood stains in wutong garden had already been cleaned up, there was no longer any smell of blood.

Once he returned to his room, Bai Li lazily laid on the imperial concubine's bed.

Yun Zhi poured a cup of hot tea and placed it in Bai Li's hands.

Qi Wen stood respectfully by Bai Li's side, "Miss, do you want to send someone to investigate the source of the rumor?"

Bai Li raised his eyes and looked straight at Qi Wen, only to see her unperturbed, eyes extremely clear, and she pursed her lips.

"No need, there's only a few people on the left."

Qi Wen frowned, "Then does young miss not care?"

Bai Li raised his eyebrows, and said evilly, "Who cares what it is, I'm just afraid that it may not spread fast enough."

In this matter, their goal was the same. They hoped that the little peacock would show some strength this time and not disappoint her.

Qi Wen and Yun Zhi looked at each other with a face full of doubt.

What do you mean, miss?

The woman's reputation was so important, how could the young miss not care? Furthermore, this matter was related to the crown prince and the Xue Xiaohou, the two of them were the only people the young miss cared about, excluding the old general.

Seeing the duo's doubtful expressions, Bai Li did not explain and only waved his hand, "Go and get all the stewards in the mansion here."

"Yes."

Qi Wen accepted the orders and went in, very quickly bringing over ten managers with him.

"Greetings to Eldest Miss."

All the managers bowed to Bai Li.

"Did you bring the account book?" Bai Li raised his eyebrows indifferently.

"Yes, yes."

The managers took out their account books and passed them over to Qi Wen.

Qi Wen took all the account books and passed them all to Bai Li.

Bai Li swept his eyes across the extremely calm managers, his lips curling into a sneer, he casually picked up a book and started flipping through it.

It was fine at first, but the more he looked, the worse his complexion became, until finally, Bai Li's face completely darkened.
