In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Xie and Princess Ruyu looked at each other, and Princess Ruyu immediately started pretending to cry, saying to Lord Bai, "Yes, father!"

"My sister is really too fierce sometimes. She pretends to be gentle and weak in front of you, but she is as vicious as a snake in private. She beat her maids until they are covered with scars. If you don't believe me, just look at the scars on her maids and you will know."

"..."

Hearing this, Lord Bai was stunned and fell into deep thought.

As the head of the family, I would certainly not ignore any disturbance in the house.

He is not a fool, he just dotes on his daughter.

Hearing this, he thought, his daughter had a bad reputation, he knew that, as for whether the maids had any wounds...to be honest, he didn't pull up the sleeves of the maids to check.

But he knew that the maids in Bai Zhiyi's room were changed frequently, and she would never be satisfied no matter whether there were eight, twelve or sixteen.

This shows that Princess Mingzhu is not an easy person to deal with, she just pretends to be nice in front of him.

But when I think of my late wife, I can bear it.

Thinking of the blood relationship between him and his daughter, he could tolerate it even more.

Lord Bai sighed and was about to say something when he saw Princess Mingzhu walking in aggressively and heading to the main hall.

When Mrs. Xie and Princess Ruyu saw Princess Mingzhu coming back, they wiped their tears and immediately pretended nothing had happened.

Princess Mingzhu was stunned when she saw the stagnant atmosphere in the hall. Then she turned to look at Lord Bai and said, "Father, are you guys having dinner?"

She forced a smile at Lord Bai, bowed, and said with a smile.

Lord Bai nodded, and then forced a smile. No matter what, he couldn't give his daughter a bad face.

This is one of the few relics Bingyu left for himself.

He said softly, "Why, did you come out of the palace?"

"Yeah, but...but there was a problem on the way."

Princess Mingzhu smiled and said, "On the way, my carriage broke down, and I happened to run into General Zhou who was having dinner at General Murong's house. General Zhou insisted that he bring two imperial guards to see me off. I felt that he was too busy with official duties, so I asked him to talk to General Murong at the house, and the two imperial guards came to see me off, and then I left."

Hearing this, Lord Bai was stunned, and then fell into deep thought, "Really? General Zhou likes you very much."

The two of them really are in love with each other, otherwise they wouldn't be able to send their daughter away.

Although two imperial guards were sent to deliver it, it was also General Zhou's intention.

Lord Bai nodded and said in agreement.

"You have a very close relationship with General Zhou."

Xie, who was standing beside her, said with a smile, "That's right, sir. Our Princess Mingzhu and General Zhou have a very close relationship... I heard that they bump into each other from time to time."

Princess Ruyu beside her was delighted all of a sudden.

"!!!"

Hearing this, Princess Mingzhu's face darkened.

Lord Bai looked at Princess Mingzhu disapprovingly, with an oppressive look in his eyes, "Zhiyi, did you deliberately create this encounter to meet General Zhou?!"

"You are so undignified!"

“This… this is true!”

Princess Mingzhu knelt down quickly and said to Lord Bai, "That's exactly what happened, but it's not as bad as you think, father, mother, and sister. We did meet by chance a few times, but that was all with the tacit approval of General Zhou."

"If you don't believe me later, you can go and ask the servants and maids below! Did General Zhou talk to me a lot after he met me?"

"We are closer than the average man and woman, but we are emotional and rational. We haven't done anything wrong. We just run into each other often."

"I am just a little more friendly to him than other men, and General Zhou is also very polite, so of course he won't do anything."

"If we do something that we shouldn't do, then the whole of Kyoto will know that we are not doing it right."

"You only heard some rumors about the arranged marriage, but nothing else."

Hearing this, Lord Bai nodded, thinking that it made sense.

It should be that the little girl is in love and wants to see General Zhou more often. This kind of chance encounter is not a problem.

If General Zhou had no such thoughts, why would he cater to his daughter and send someone to send his daughter home? !

Lord Bai felt that Zhou Langya was interested in Princess Mingzhu.

She quite liked her son-in-law Zhou Langya, but the queen disagreed.

He planned to go to the palace and talk to the Queen and ask her to agree as soon as possible. In this way, his daughter's lifelong affairs would be settled, and he, as an old father, would feel relieved.

"Then... I will talk to the Queen and His Majesty and arrange your marriage."

"Before, the Queen always refused, saying that the time was not right and she wanted to choose an auspicious day to arrange your marriage. She also wanted to make you a wedding dress and some jewelry, so she refused..."

"Before, I wanted to pick another good man for you, but no matter how good a man is, he can't compare to the love between you and General Zhou! Your happiness is the most important thing."

“As for money, our family has no shortage of it, and power… our family is backed by the royal family, which is even more unimpressive, so there is no need to be picky about it.”

"It's almost time now. If you delay any longer, you will become an old maid. You are already a girl of eighteen or nineteen, so it's better to marry you off."

Nowadays, Princess Mingzhu and Princess Ruyu are indeed not young anymore. The reason why Princess Ruyu stayed until now is that she wanted to become a princess, so she is waiting for the Queen's order.

But Princess Mingzhu is different.

The reason why Princess Mingzhu is dragging her feet is simply because she can't get married and her reputation is not very good. Although she has the title of Princess Mingzhu, people of high status are unwilling to get married into the Bai family.

The Bai family looks down on those of low status.

It is neither high nor low, so now it has led to such an embarrassing situation.

But it doesn’t matter. Lord Bai thought so before, but it was different afterwards. Zhou Langya and his daughter liked each other, so his daughter would marry him.

I am quite satisfied with Zhou Langya as my son-in-law.
