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

"You, you, you! Bai Zhiyi! A commoner! You were actually awarded the title of a princess because of your own achievements. You were awarded the title of a princess because of your mother's achievements! But you didn't even keep your position well!! You, you! Bai Zhiyi! You are totally different from that Bai Lu!"

"..."

General Murong and General Zhou looked at each other behind them and burst into laughter.

General Zhou patted General Murong on the shoulder with a smile and said, "General Murong doesn't have to worry this time, but he has let out a sigh of relief."

"Oh my, that was a big fuss!"

General Murong was furious. He snorted coldly and said, "It was fine when he bullied Lady Bai before. After all, I have nothing to do with Lady Bai. At most, I could say a few words for Lady Bai! But now... he actually bullied my daughter."

"Hey."

General Murong shook his head and sighed, saying: "Of course I have to protect my daughter."

"It's a pity...that Lady White has no parents. If she had parents, she would have protected her that day."

General Zhou and General Murong were talking to each other, and General Zhou said, "Speaking of which... Why hasn't the White Snake's matter been investigated yet? His Majesty specifically asked about it before, and it's obvious that His Majesty is a little anxious."

"After all, we are about to reward people based on their merits! If you generals are going to reward people based on their merits, then Lady White Snake shouldn't be left behind!"

"I heard that Lord Pei from the Dali Temple is coming to investigate personally, so it's a bit troublesome."

"Oh, that's true."

General Zhou nodded and said with a smile.

"Lord Pei has always been fair and just, so I'm sure he won't make any mistakes. Lady Bai will probably be crowned a princess soon!"

"Master Pei...when will he come?"

"It must be midnight, right?"

......

At General Murong's mansion, a carriage was parked outside.

It was dusk at this moment and the Murong family had just finished dinner.

Outside, a tall young man got off the carriage. He was wearing a red official uniform of the second rank, with kirin embroidered on it and golden patterns shining brightly.

The man had an upright figure, and looked to be about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. He had an extremely noble appearance, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his stunningly handsome face was full of indifference.

This person's pupils were very light in color, like a snake's, and they gave off a chill that penetrated the bones.

When the servants outside General Murong's mansion saw him coming, they were so scared that they rolled over and crawled, and hurried in! They reported to the general's wife!

"Madam, Madam! The Dali Temple Minister! Lord Pei Huizhou is here!!!"

"Here comes the living devil!!!"

Hearing this, the general's wife was so frightened that her hands trembled, and she quickly told the maid below.

"Call Bai Niangzi over immediately. Also... have Jinshu stay away. Jinshu has already been frightened today. If she gets frightened again when she sees that living devil, what will we do?!"

"..."

After hearing what the general's wife said, Pei Huizhou, who had already entered, fell silent.

The officials from the Dali Temple below almost laughed out loud.

Pei Huizhou frowned, glanced at the general's wife inside, and walked in.

Then, the general's wife looked embarrassed and twitched her lips. She said to Pei Huizhou: "...Oh, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, Master Pei!"

"If we had known earlier...we would have called White Lady over earlier."

"...Yes, it was because I arrived too quickly, so I just happened to hear you, Madam General, saying bad things about me. Am I... really that scary?"

Pei Huizhou put on a cold smile and stared at the general's wife. Those eyes almost scared the general's wife to the point of her legs going limp.

I don't know why. I am already in my forties or fifties, but when I see a young boy like Pei Huizhou, I get scared.

This guy is like a pervert!

The general's wife complained in her heart, but she quickly saluted him with a smile, "...Oh, I didn't know it was you, my Lord, who was coming. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you."

She said to Pei Huizhou with a smile.

"I am old and confused, so please don't be offended if I say something wrong."

"I am surprised...but what can I do? So now I can only stop being surprised."

Pei Huizhou glanced around casually, then sat down on the stool, pursed his lips coldly and spoke.

"Go call Chen Yuan and Bai Lu over. I will interrogate them thoroughly."

The people from the Dali Temple said nothing, not even daring to breathe, and rushed in hurriedly with knives, surrounding the entire main hall.

After a while, Chen Yuan was brought over first.

Bai Lu followed closely behind and brought it over.

The officials who had interrogated the case in the Dali Temple knelt down in front of Pei Huizhou and said to him tremblingly, "Reply...reply to your Excellency, we have already asked all the questions...before."

"Well, what about the case notes?"

"They're all here."

They presented what they had to ask Bai Lu and Chen Yuan.

After reading the case record, Pei Huizhou didn't even raise his eyes to look at Bai Lu and Chen Yuan. He immediately stood up, frowned and said sarcastically: "You are all such idiots!"

"Catch that Chen Yuan and take him away!"

"Bai Lu, acquitted!"

"???"

"!!!"

Hearing this, Bai Lu turned around in confusion to look at the reserved and cold man who was like a poisonous snake.

The man exuded a cold and unapproachable aura, and one glance at him made people feel that he was very scary.

This kind of vicious aura...can only be possessed by people who have been immersed in officialdom for many years and have the blood of countless lives on their hands.

Even Bai Lu felt a little scared.

Bai Lu stared at the man carefully, and suddenly saw the man raised his eyes and looked at Bai Lu unhappily.

Those eyes were full of frost and murderous intent, which almost frightened Bai Lu to death! Her heart almost jumped out of her chest!

For a moment, I almost felt guilty.

But thinking that she was not the one who killed the person, Bai Lu frowned and glared back calmly.

It’s just glaring at people. I’m quite good at it.

"..."

Pei Huizhou saw Bai Lu glaring back and smiled. This woman had a very aggressive temperament and was not an ordinary person.

However, when you think about Bai Lu’s previous achievements, you can understand that this person is indeed not an ordinary person.

How could he be an ordinary person when he has so many hidden businesses and has become the richest man in Liangzhou? I guess I will be able to see Bai Lu in Kyoto soon in the future. Bai Lu's achievements are definitely more than just the richest man in Liangzhou.

Thinking of Bai Lu's kindness to the Dawu soldiers, Pei Huizhou did not make things too difficult for Bai Lu. After retracting his gaze, he spoke to Bai Lu.

"You are an interesting little lady."
