Xie Shuyao stared at Bai Zhi's back and said angrily, "Okay, you have some skills."

Soldiers all know a little bit about military tactics. The so-called first come first served means that whoever seizes the initiative will have the advantage. Bai Zhi is naturally well aware of this.

Bai Zhi is actually quite capable, otherwise Pei Jingyi wouldn't have kept her by his side. Moreover, she is a bright spot among many flowers, and in a team mostly composed of men, she has already enjoyed a lot of the benefits of being a woman.

In the past, not every man liked her, but no one had ever embarrassed her. She had never been humiliated like this.

Bai Zhi couldn't swallow this anger, so she stood outside the study and thought about it for a long time, and finally waited for an opportunity.

When Bai Zhi saw someone delivering something to the study, she suddenly came up with an idea and hurried forward, "I'll deliver it for you, you go ahead and do your work."

The man thought she was kind and thanked her again and again before leaving.

With the excuse to enter the study, Bai Zhi knocked on the door openly and went in. After handing over the things, she stood next to Qin Lang on purpose.

Among these guards, Qin Lang is the most loyal to her and the most thoughtful.

As expected, Qin Lang noticed the clue almost instantly, and hurriedly approached and said: "Bai Zhi, why are your eyes red? Did you cry? Who bullied you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room looked at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi sniffed as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Her expression seemed like she was being humiliated but still pretending to be calm. She turned her head and wiped the tears from her face. "I, I'm fine."

Qin Lang was a little anxious. "What do you mean it's okay? Don't be afraid. If there is anything, just tell me. The general is here and will definitely take care of it for you."

Pei Jingyi, who was called out, also raised his eyelids and looked over. Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at Bai Zhi, he asked in a steady tone, "What happened?"

After being asked this question, Bai Zhi "had to say":

"Nothing, it's just that a friend of yours came to visit yesterday, and I was busy dealing with something the general had asked me to do, so I didn't entertain him, and yours scolded me a few words."

In just a few words, he pushed all the blame onto Xie Shuyao, without mentioning a single word that he was the one who drove the person away.

When Qin Lang heard that she was bullied, he exploded: "That's too much. You are not a maid, why are you entertaining guests?"

Others followed suit: "That's right, don't bully others like this."

Everyone in the room felt sorry for Bai Zhi, except Jiang Dong, who knew something about the relationship between Pei Jingyi and Xie Shuyao. He said nothing and just looked at Pei Jingyi's expression.

Logically speaking, now that things have come to this, Pei Jingyi should at least express his opinion.

But he didn't show any emotion after hearing this. Instead, he said calmly, "I will find out about this matter."

If he believed in Bai Zhi 100%, why would he need to ask others for confirmation?

For a moment, the people in the room looked at each other, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

They all thought that Pei Jingyi had a bad relationship with this lady, and there were rumors flying around. Maybe once the situation settled down, he would part ways with her.

Now it seems that it is not the case.

In fact, it’s not their fault for thinking that way, mainly because Bai Zhi has been instilling this idea in them on a daily basis.

When the first person mentioned the word Madam, Bai Zhi corrected him, "You are just husband and wife in name only. Don't call her that, and don't talk about her behind her back. You might as well make the general unhappy."

Bai Zhi originally wanted to use this incident to consolidate Xie Shuyao's image as an abandoned woman. She didn't expect him to just brush it off so lightly, and she felt a little embarrassed for a while.

But even if she was unwilling in her heart, Pei Jingyi had already put an end to this sentence. There was no reason to continue, so she could only respond and leave.

When everything was settled and Pei Jingyi returned to the room, Xie Shuyao was sitting on the bed sulking.
