Chapter 668 - Game
After a moment of silence, Hu Feng asked another question: “What are you going to do about Pei Qinghan and Bai Zhenzhu?”
The smile on Bai Zhi’s face gradually narrowed and a haze appeared in her eyes. Then, she said in a low voice: “My niang wanted to divorce Pei Qinghan. I agree with it. However, I hope to find out something.”
Hu Feng asked: “What is it?”
“I want to know why Pei Qinghan wanted to kill me. I was just a baby back then. Even the tiger doesn’t kill its own children. However, not only he wanted to kill me, but also my niang. There must be some reason for this. I want to understand this.”
Hu Feng nodded and asked: “What about Bai Zhenzhu?”
Bai Zhi said: “Bai Zhenzhu is also a pitiful person in the end. She thought she can ascent to sky one step at a time. She dreamed of climbing high branches and become a phoenix. She has the heart of a noble young miss but doesn’t have this kind of life. The higher she climbs, the miserable she will be when she falls in the future.”
Hu Feng shrugged his shoulders: “Indeed she is pitiful.” But he doesn’t have the heart to sympathized with her. Such kind of pitiful person was also hateful.
“So you’re not going to expose them now?” Hu Feng asked.
Bai Zhi smiled lightly: “Of course, not. If I expose them just like that, where’s the fun it? They started this game, but since we have joined now, ending it is up to me.”
How domineering, Hu Feng likes this kind of Bai Zhi. Simple and neat. Everything was neatly organized under her palm.

Concubine Xiang returned to Huofu with Bai Zhenzhu and Pei Xiachen. Pei Qinghan, who shouldn’t be in the mansion at this time, was waiting in the mansion.
“Houye? Why are you back so early?” Concubine Xiang stepped forward with a smile on her face.
However, Pei Qinghan’s eyes fell on Bai Zhenzhu, who was behind Concubine Xiang: “Yan’er, come over here.”
Bai Zhenzhu was still not used to this name, so whenever Pei Qinghan called her that, her reaction was always slow.
Usually, Pei Qinghan looked at her with an impatient look in the face. But today, not only he didn’t glare at her but even had a smile on his face.
“Come and sit down!” Pei Qinghan said.
Bai Zhenzhu was simply flattered. When she talked to Pei Qinghan usually, did she ever sit down? She always speaks on her knees.
She glanced at Concubine Xiang with an anxious look in the face. Concubine Xiang was also confused. What happened to him? Instead of asking her or her daughter to sit down, she asked Bai Zhenzhu to sit? Which song he was singing?
When Bai Zhuzhu sat down, Pei Qinghan said, “Yan’er, this is the case, today, the Empress sent someone to deliver a message. She wanted to invite you to the palace to have a chat and lunch with her, tomorrow.”
Bai Zhenzhu trembled in shock: “This, how can I dare to meet the empress. I, I dare not!”
Pei Qinghan frowned immediately. How great is this honor? And she said she dare not? Why did chose such a coward and ignorant person?
“From now on, you have to learn the rules. I have found someone to teach you. She is waiting for you at the Lan Courtyard. You just need to follow those rules.”
Knowing that she couldn’t resist, Bai Zhenzhu could only agree. But then, she asked: “Why do you think the empress will say to me? How should I reply to her?”
Pei Qinghan thought for a while and then said: “I’ll tell you the truth, Prince Jin and Prince Xiao are irreconcilable. The empress is Prince Xiao’s biological mother, while Dongfang Mu is Prince Jin’s master. You know in your heart how the Dongfang Family treats you. They don’t have the intention to recognize you at all. So whether your marriage to Prince Jin will be successful or not is still unknown. But now, the empress invited you to enter the palace, this may be a new opportunity for you and also to our Changyuan Houfu.”
