Chapter 327

"Father, I really didn't do anything!" Chu Haojue felt a little aggrieved. Why didn't Chu Yuanming believe him?

"Hmph, I don't believe you at all. Tell me the truth, what did you do today? Did you make An An sad?" Chu Yuanming snatched the whisk from Eunuch Li's hand and wanted to attack Chu Haojue.

"Father, I really didn't do anything. An An just went on a long trip." Chu Haojue was also worried that if he didn't say anything, Chu Yuanming might really beat him.

At this time, Chu Haojue missed the days when the prince was in the imperial study.

It’s just that recently, the Crown Princess is about to give birth, and the Crown Prince will not leave the Eastern Palace unless it is necessary.

"Then tell me, what did you do?" Chu Yuanming still didn't quite believe what Chu Haojue said. He thought to himself that he had to quickly find the next candidate for Qiao Anan.

Although the Sixth and Seventh Princes are useless, their Chu family should have other good-looking and talkative sons.

"I've been too busy lately and have neglected An An. Today, Sister Qingyao went to the Qiao family again..." Chu Haojue said with a guilty conscience.

"Hehe, you call this doing nothing? Have you forgotten your identity as a son-in-law? Or have you forgotten how it felt when you were hungry? Sister Qingyao? Your sister Qingyao is so nice. Why didn't your sister Qingyao come to you when you had no food to eat?" Chu Yuanming felt that he had given birth to his stupid son.

"Father, you don't have to keep reminding me of this!" Chu Haojue felt even worse. Was he the one who wanted to be his son-in-law? Wasn't it because you were short of money? Did you sell me out?

"I'm telling you, how dare you talk back!" Chu Yuanming took the whisk in his hand and hit Chu Haojue.

Eunuch Li, who was watching from the side, wanted to say, "Your Majesty, this is my servant's whisk," but seeing the angry Chu Yuanming, he could only swallow his words.

I just want to whisk it, so if it breaks, it breaks! Don't interrupt me while I'm teaching my son a lesson.

Chu Haojue was beaten without making a sound.

After all, he was indeed wrong in this matter.

But, his crime was not punishable by death, seeing as his father was trying to kill him.

"Eunuch Li, pass the order down. From now on, all money for the military camp must be approved by the Second Prince's wife before it can be given! Now, send some things to the Second Prince's wife." Chu Yuanming said without giving Chu Haojue any face.

Chu Haojue didn't take it to heart. After all, the military salaries in the barracks were being paid normally. He felt that Qiao Anan was not the kind of person who would make things difficult for others.

"Has Duan Zhicheng returned to Beijing?" Chu Yuanming thought of another thing.

"No, it's just that Sister Qingyao came back to visit Old Madam Duan." Chu Haojue said without daring to hide it.

"From now on, don't go to the Duan family too often!" Chu Yuanming glared at Chu Haojue and said.

Humph, back then, I paid Duan Zhicheng to teach this kid kung fu. Now he wants to rely on this favor to let Chu Haojue marry his daughter?

If he really wanted to do this, why didn't he bring it up when Chu Haojue was the poorest?

"Don't just remember the people who treated you well when you were doing well. You should remember the people who helped you when you were in poverty. It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to help someone in need!" Chu Yuanming said with a sigh.

"I understand, son." Chu Haojue felt depressed when he heard this.

He always felt that what his father said was too serious.

"I advise you not to do anything weird again. If you really can't, I will replace you. An An doesn't need a son-in-law like you, but our Chu family needs a daughter-in-law like An An." Chu Yuanming said with a sigh.

"Father, what do you mean by this?" The more Chu Haojue listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

"What do you mean? If you continue to be stubborn, I don't mind finding a new husband for An An!" Chu Yuanming said dissatisfiedly.

"Father, you are talking about rebellion, right?" Chu Haojue said with a very unhappy heart after hearing this.

"Eunuch Li, go and look for any royal noble family that has unmarried, good-looking, and charming young men. Collect the names and portraits." Chu Yuanming said without showing any mercy to Chu Haojue.

The carriage slowly moved into the county. After Qiao Anan rested for a while, she felt much more energetic. However, she had something on her mind and did not rest for long.

At this moment, she remembered Bai Zhi outside.

Zhang Nanrao told her that Bai Zhi was the legitimate daughter of the former imperial physician Bai Liangji, and three years ago, Bai Liangji was punished for causing Concubine Wan's abortion.

The Bai family was also sentenced to exile because of this.

Zhang Yongchi, the eldest son of the Zhang family, is engaged to Bai Zhi, the legitimate daughter of the Bai family.

Now, the fact that Concubine Wan was a spy for the Xijing Kingdom has long been exposed. At this time, it is difficult to determine the truth of the matter.

However, she felt that Bai Zhi insisted on following her into the county, and she was afraid that she had other purposes.

"Baizhi, come in." Qiao Anan said in a low voice.

"Miss, is there anything I can do for you?" Bai Zhi said neither humbly nor arrogantly. Looking at Bai Zhi, who looked like an ordinary maid at this moment, it was hard to imagine that this person was once the eldest daughter of the Bai family.

"Baizhi, you didn't lose your memory, right?" Qiao Anan looked at Baizhi and said affirmatively.

Bai Zhi paused after hearing this, and just smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Whether I have lost my memory or not, I am the servant you bought for me, young lady." Bai Zhi said calmly.

After all, she had experienced the decline of her family, exile, and being sold to human traffickers, and had fallen from a wealthy lady to a maid.

I have seen all kinds of strong winds and heavy rains.

However, Baizhi only wanted to save her father and brother so that they could live well.

"That's interesting. The reason you followed me out is because you don't want to go to Zhang's house?" Qiao Anan asked again.

"Now, with my status, how can I be worthy of him?" Bai Zhi lowered her head when she said this. She actually knew that Zhang Yongchi had been looking for her all these years, but she didn't want to implicate him.

She felt that he deserved a better girl, not a criminal's daughter like her.

Now, she is the most humble maid.

I'm afraid I'm not even qualified to be her concubine, so it would be better to just pretend she disappeared.

And his impression of himself is still the same as it was at the beginning.

"Well, I can't comment on whether you are worthy of him now. But don't look down on yourself. Everyone has a shining heart. As long as you have no second thoughts, I will definitely return your indentures to you in the future." Qiao Anan comforted.

"Thank you, Miss. Don't worry, I will follow your instructions." Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that.

"Okay, here we don't have so many rules. But how are your medical skills?" Qiao Anan asked.

"Don't worry, Miss. I have been learning from my grandfather and father since I was young. Although I am not as good as my father and brother, most difficult and complicated diseases can still help me." Bai Zhi did not hide her shortcomings and said quickly.

"In that case, I'm afraid you'll have to put in more effort when we go to the county." Qiao Anan thought about going to the county, and it must be time to verify whether Bai Zhi was bragging.
