C23 I Was Forced to Break off the Engagement

The news of the crown prince annulling the engagement spread throughout the entire Imperial City in a short two to three days.

The direct daughter of the General's Estate, Bai Suyue, had become a shameless woman as the people of the city knew her to be.

When General Bai heard the news, he flew into a rage. He looked at Bai Suyue, who was standing in front of him with her head lowered, not saying a word. He didn't know what to say.

After a moment, Bai Zhen, who had finished venting his anger, slammed the table and sat on the chair, breathing heavily.

"You've gone too far, you've gone too far. Since the emperor already knows that you're innocent and that everything was the crown prince's fault, why did you still send out this news? This will make you …" How are we going to get married in the future! "

Bai Suyue knelt in front of Bai Zhen with a calm voice.

"Father, it is clear that Suyue didn't do anything that she didn't do. She will absolutely not admit it. The Emperor only asked to cancel the engagement because of the prestige of the Imperial Family. It can't be considered a mistake!"

Although Bai Zhen was a martial general, he was still a smart person. How could he not know what Emperor Xuan was thinking? However, the idea of sacrificing his own virginity to protect the crown prince was really chilling.

Seeing Bai Zhen's furious expression, Bai Suyue lowered her eyes slightly.

In her previous life, General Bai had been loyal and never had any ill intentions towards the royal family. However, he still ended up with the same reputation of betraying the country and colluding with the enemy.

"Someone, prepare the imperial court uniform. This general will go see the emperor right now!"

Bai Zhen left in a hurry. Bai Suyue crawled a few steps and grabbed onto Bai Zhen's robe, "Dad, although Yue Er feels wronged, you can't offend the emperor just because of a small matter like Yue Er. Worse comes to worst … In the worst case, Yue Er will not marry anymore. I will go outside to the nunnery near Jinglong Temple to shave my head and set up a family. I will be a sister-in-law! "

These words instantly stabbed at Bai Zhen's sore spot, "You are my, Bai Zhen's, daughter, so how can dad make you compromise like this?"

Bai Suyue stood up, but her face was filled with determination, "Father, this matter shall pass just like this, you absolutely must not bring it up again. Otherwise, it will not be good for your daughter and General's Estate!"

Bai Zhen was stunned when he saw his daughter say these words with such vigor.

The initial anger slowly disappeared.

Bai Suyue frowned slightly, her long, shapely eyebrows rising slightly.

"Father, don't forget to bring your daughter to attend the birthday banquet tomorrow. Your daughter misses grandmother so much!" She really wanted to die. She wanted nothing more than to die.

When Bai Zhen saw that his daughter did not look sad at all, he noticed something out of the blue.

"Yue Er, you … Weren't you fond of the crown prince before? Now that we're annulled, why … "

"Why isn't he looking for death?" Bai Suyue accepted Bai Zhen's words with a smile that was even thicker.

"Father, your daughter has grown up. She is no longer the little girl she used to be. You don't have to worry about Yue Er!"

Bai Suyue whispered earnestly into Bai Zhen's ear, not hiding her change at all.

The only thing she could do now was to let her father stop worrying and be at ease with her.

Bai Suyue thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Dad, have you found the person I asked you to find?"

Bai Zhen nodded and smiled helplessly. "I found it. It's just a servant of the Yan Residence. If you have time, go slowly. Sigh..." "Girl, why are you always coming to the hospital these two days when you have nothing better to do? What's so interesting about that?"

Bai Suyue chuckled. With a cold glint in her eyes, she clenched her fingers gently. "Of course it's fun. I've left my daughter's item there. Of course I have to retrieve it!"

At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Bai Zhen's eyes narrowed: "Come in!"

"General, the second miss has been brought back!"

Bai Zhen's face turned gloomy as he glanced at Bai Suyue's face.

Seeing her calm expression without the slightest fluctuation of emotion, he was slightly surprised. "Yue Er, this Yan Yingrou, what are you going to do about it?"

Bai Suyue raised her head slightly. When she saw the probing look in Bai Zhen's eyes, her heart ached slightly.

In this manor, he was probably the only one who had been tricked. His big brother and father both seemed to understand everything.

"Dad doesn't have to interfere in this matter. Yue Er has her own idea!"

Bai Zhen instantly burst into laughter. His tightly knitted eyebrows also relaxed. He patted Bai Suyue's back as if they were of the same generation.

"Father knew that you were enlightened. From now on, Father can be at ease!"

The moment Bai Zhen finished his words, the door was pushed open. Yan Yingrou walked in from the door in a slightly embarrassed manner.

"Rou greets elder sister and father!"

When Bai Suyue heard Yan Yingrou call Bai Zhen her father, she felt a burst of frustration in her heart.

"Yan Yingrou, in the future, you have to remember your status in this mansion!"

She slightly turned around and stared at her with a cold and stern gaze, "Father, you shouldn't call me that!"

Yan Yingrou's eyes widened. After a moment of hesitation, she bit her lower lip and said, "Greetings, General!"

Bai Suyue nodded in satisfaction and looked at Bai Zhen with a smile. "Dad, it just so happens that our daughter's room is lacking people. How about we treat her as our daughter's head maid? Oh right, we can change her from the Pitiful Appearance Garden to Miss Qian's study room in the north!"

Yan Yingrou could not believe her ears. She looked in Bai Suyue's direction with a dazed expression. She had a feeling that she had instantly fallen from heaven to hell.

Just what was going on? What did she do wrong? Why did this foolish young miss suddenly aim all the blame at her?

Yan Yingrou's legs softened as she took a step back. She muttered, "Yue Er, how have I offended you? How dare you treat me like this?"

Seeing Yan Yingrou's pitiful and pitiful face that did not know how to repent in the face of death, Bai Suyue laughed softly, "Why should I treat you like this? You were originally a servant that was picked up by the palace, and I was just happy to play with you previously. But you actually think of yourself as a proper lady within the General's Estate? "

In Yan Yingrou's eyes, Bai Suyue was still the same as before. When Yan Yingrou saw Bai Suyue deal with other people in the past, she didn't think Bai Suyue was that outrageous. However, now that she was the target, she finally understood the bitterness.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and open the door for me!"

Yan Yingrou felt that her pride was ruthlessly stepped on. It turned out that her years of careful efforts in the mansion was just a farce to this high and mighty young miss. She only needed to be tired of a few words and she would fall back into the abyss.

Her eyes grew colder, but she lowered her gaze and walked slowly to the door, opening it for Bai Suyue.

Now, with the help of the crown prince, Yan Yingrou had already been cleared of all charges against her. However, at the same time, she was informed that the crown prince had also put Bai Suyue out of the engagement. Previously, she felt a little regretful that she couldn't climb up to Crown Princess's position with Bai Suyue's help.

One didn't need to think to know what the end result would be when an ancient woman was annulled.

Bai Suyue felt a pair of resentful eyes darting behind her. The corners of her cherry red lips slightly curved.

Yan Yingrou lowered her head and followed behind Bai Suyue, clenching her fists tightly. Seeing that no one was around, she walked in front of her and spoke in a softer tone.

"Yue Er, stop messing around. I know you're angry, but I've also been locked up in jail for several days, so it's time for you to vent your anger. Going to the brothel was my mistake. No matter how you beat me up, you won't retaliate, alright? Just don't ignore me …"
