Chapter 672: Prince Xiao’s sacrifice
Prince Xiao was a dignified figure, how could he do such an uncertain thing?
And Bai Zhenzhu was not the kind of woman, who can make a man fall in love with her at first sight. They were only desperate. And if they didn’t have a private agreement with this, this kind of thing would never happen.
Bai Zhi said: “Let them toss themselves.”
Dongfang Wan frowned and said: “But that girl is using your name, which is not good for your reputation.”
Bai Zhi smiled and shook her head: “It’s okay. I never planned to use that name. I never wanted the identity of Pei Family’s daughter. Even if he kneels in front of me and begs me, I will not go to the Pei Family Mansion. That name, if she wants it, let her have it. Sooner or later, she will know that holding something that doesn’t belong to her, will only hurt her.”
Dongfang Wan was relieved, and so she said with a smile: “You’re right. What’s so good about the name of Pei Family’s daughter? When I and Pei Qinghan divorced, you will use our Dongfang’s family name, and then you will be the daughter of the Dongfang family. How can that compare with the Pei Family?”
Although she was very domineering and very touched, she still shook her head: “Niang, I don’t want to change my surname or my name. I just want to be myself, not attached to my family’s name. I want people to see me and know I am Bai Zhi. Not as the daughter of Dongfang Family as soon as they see me.”
Dongfang Wan’s temperament was easy-going than ordinary women. After hearing Bai Zhi’s words, she felt very satisfied: “No matter what your name or your last name is, I don’t care. You just do whatever you want. I will always support you.”
At this time, a maidservant came in to report: “Milady, young miss, Prince Jin is here and waiting in the hall.”
Bai Zhi immediately beamed with joy and busily said: “Please let him go to the garden and tell him to wait for me.” She hasn’t seen him for several days. She heard that the emperor sent him to do an errand. He will be busy for at least 5 days. How come he’s here?
Seeing her daughter like this, Dongfang Wan was happy in her heart. Prince Jin liked her, she also liked Prince Jin. Being able to marry someone you like was the happiest thing in a woman’s life.

Under an ancient locust tree, a man in brocade stood with his hands in his back. He has a pair of bloodshot eyes but was filled with gentleness while he stared at the petite figure from afar.
“You’re here!”Bai Zhi said with a smile.
“Mmm!” He responded.
The two looked at each other. No one speaks. The surroundings were covered in silence.
Bai Zhi then ordered the servants to bring chairs in the open space of the garden, and also a small stove for them to make tea. Then, they bask themselves under the bright sunshine, drank tea, and chatted.
Hu Feng asked: “Did you know Chu Feng proposed marriage to the Pei family?”
Bai Zhi nodded: “I learned about it just now.”
“What are you going to do?” Hu Feng asked.
Bai Zhi shook her head: “I’m not planning to do anything. If they want to get married, let them get married. I am not Pei Xiayan, so what does it have to do with me?”
“Are you not angry?” Hu Feng asked with a smile.
Bai Zhi also smiled: “Why should I be angry? We should be happy and wait to see them as jokes.”
Chu Feng went to the Pei Family to propose marriage. The drunkard’s intention was not to drink. He was not like someone who will like Bai Zhenzhu or Changyuan Houfu. He just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to establish relations with Dongfang Mu and use the ancestral feelings to get the support of hundreds of officials.
Unfortunately, his calculation was wrong.
She wants to know, once Chu Feng learns that after making such a big sacrifice, he still cannot get the support of Dongfang Mu, will he jump up in anger by then?
