It's been half an hour since Bai Li arrived outside Murong's villa. She walked all the way and thought about it all the way, but in the end she still couldn't figure out what to say to make it better.

Standing in front of the door, she hesitated a few times, and finally reached out and knocked on the door. Zhang Hong came out, and when she saw Bai Li, she couldn't help frowning.

"why you?"

She folded her arms around her chest, frowned tightly, and blocked the door, as if she didn't want Bai Li to come in at all.

Bai Li glanced at her, ever since she knew that Murong Pei had pleaded guilty, she was in a bad mood, now seeing Zhang Hong rejecting her like this, she felt even more uncomfortable.

"You let me in, I have something very important to say." Bai Li frowned, but in Zhang Hong's view, her frown didn't mean anything at all.

"Bai Li, do you know that this is Murong's house?" A sarcastic voice came out of Zhang Hong's mouth, so casual and mean, like a habit.

Bai Li looked at Zhang Hong helplessly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, "Of course I know, if it wasn't for Murong's house, I wouldn't have come here."

Zhang Hong frowned, snorted coldly, and turned to Bai Li, "It's good that you know, since this is Murong's house, not yours, then you can't come and go so casually."

Bai Li sighed, she really wanted to explain, but Zhang Hong didn't give herself a chance at all, "Listen to me, you misunderstood, I don't mean anything else, I just came here to talk about things."

Zhang Hong didn't believe it at all. In her opinion, Bai Li came here with some ulterior purpose.

"Hmph, do you think I'll let you in if you say that?" Zhang Hong stood there and seemed to have no intention of leaving at all.

Bai Li became anxious, she stretched out her hand to hold Zhang Hong's arm, "If you don't let me in, Murong Pei might be in danger."

Zhang Hong rolled her eyes twice when she heard Murong Pei's words, and after thinking about it, she decided to let Bai Li in.

"Come in, but keep your voice down, Murong Hong is sleeping."

Bai Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she came here just to see Murong Hong, shouldn't Zhang Hong wake him up right now?

Zhang Hong sat on the sofa and began to paint her nails. She took a bottle of bright red nail polish and carefully applied it to her nails little by little.

Bai Li became anxious, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "Go and wake Murong Hong up now, I don't want to delay any longer."

Zhang Hong didn't even raise her head, and stared at the nail polish in front of her eyes tightly, "Didn't I tell you just now, brother Hong is sleeping now, you should wait a little longer."

Bai Li frowned, it seemed that Zhang Hong deliberately made things difficult for herself, "If you don't want to wake Murong Hong up, I'll leave now."

Hearing this, Zhang Hong raised the corners of her mouth, and a smile flashed across her lips. This was what she wanted to hear the most. She wished that Bai Li would never come here.

"However, I won't come here in the future. As for Murong Pei's fate, it has nothing to do with me."

Bai Li was about to leave, Zhang Hong frowned twice, if Murong Hong blamed himself for everything, then he might not be able to eat and walk around.

"Wait, don't go yet." Zhang Hong suddenly shouted loudly, stood up from the sofa, and hurriedly caught up with Bai Li.

Bai Li frowned, she thought Zhang Hong really dared to let her go.

Sensing someone grabbing her skirt, Bai Li turned around and looked at Zhang Hong, "Why, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Zhang Hong raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, "I don't mean that, I just want you not to leave."

Bai Li snorted, "Then what do you mean by what you said just now?"

Zhang Hong's face became embarrassed, "I was just talking casually just now, just kidding, you see that you are serious."

Bai Li snorted coldly, she didn't want to take it seriously, but Zhang Hong's tone really couldn't make people think it was a joke,
"Then you go to Murong Hong now." Bai Li's voice was extremely calm, and she wanted to tell Murong Hong the truth of everything.

Zhang Hong thought that Bai Li would tell herself first, but it seemed that Bai Li didn't intend to do so.

Bai Li looked at Zhang Hong standing there, and couldn't help frowning. No matter how patient she was, she couldn't resist Zhang Hong's teasing.

"If it's not convenient for you now, I think I'll come back in a few days." After Bai Li finished speaking, she glanced at Zhang Hong.

"Don't worry, I'll go find Murong Hong right now." Zhang Hong twisted and walked up the stairs after speaking.

Looking at her figure, Bai Li couldn't help but a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, wondering what kind of reaction Murong Hong would have if she found out.

When Zhang Hong came down the stairs, he was followed by Murong Hong. He was wearing a plain nightgown. He looked very tired, with bags under his eyes and gray hair.

Bai Li frowned a few times, she just hadn't seen Murong Hong for a few days, and he had changed a bit too much.

Zhang Hong glanced at Bai Li, "What exactly are you going to say, you can finally say it now."

Bai Li frowned. She had something to say, but it didn't mean everyone was qualified to listen.

Not to mention Zhang Hong, as Murong Pei's stepmother, she is not qualified to listen, Bai Li just wanted to tell Murong Hong about Murong Pei.

Seeing that Bai Li didn't speak, Murong Hong suddenly realized something, he turned to look at Zhang Hong, "Go out first, Bai Li and I have something to say."

Zhang Hong gritted her teeth, she has been in Murong's house for three years, but it seems that Murong Hong still refuses to believe herself.

"Brother Hong, I won't let it out." Zhang Hong didn't want to go out, after all, it was in front of Bai Li, if she went out now, it would be too embarrassing.

Murong Hong's voice suddenly became severe, "If you are told to go out, you can go out."

There was no room for negotiation in the cold voice, Zhang Hong frowned, turned around and walked outside the door.

She didn't stop until she walked to the garden outside, her red face was extremely ugly, she seemed to be expelled from the palace, standing there alone, very pitiful.

A gust of cold wind blew by, she couldn't help shivering, the anger in her heart suddenly rose, if it wasn't for Bai Li, she wouldn't have been kicked out.

The two maids passed by the garden and chatted privately, "You know, the lady was kicked out by the master just now."

"What madam, I think Zhang Hong will have to leave Murong's house sooner or later."

"That's right, she's just a mistress"

When Zhang Hong heard this, she almost exploded with anger. She walked out from behind the flower bed and stood in front of the two maids. She frowned, "What are you talking about?"

How could the two maids think that Zhang Honghu came out suddenly, and the plate in his hand fell to the ground in fright, "Ma'am, don't get me wrong that we didn't mean to offend you."

Zhang Hong stretched out her hand and slapped the maid, her voice was very loud, "Do you think I'm deaf, I heard everything just now."

The two maids looked at me and I looked at you, their eyes flustered. "Ma'am, we didn't do it on purpose, please forgive us.

Zhang Honggang was already full of anger, but now he heard the two servants talking about him like this, and his mood became even worse.

"Hmph, let you say I'm the mistress." Zhang Hong raised her palm and slapped the two maids on the face again.

The faces of the two maids were already red and swollen, but Zhang Hong didn't intend to let it go.

She raised the corner of her mouth, and a cold smile flashed across her lips, "Are you trying to ask for my forgiveness?"

The two maids nodded. Although Zhang Hong was a bit strict, she was still well paid for working in Murong's house.

"Ma'am, please forgive us."

When Zhang Hong heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes, "Since you are so sincere, I was willing to give you a chance. But you always have to show your sincerity."

After the two maids agreed, Zhang Hong approached them mysteriously, "Why don't you slap your own ears?"

The two maids were surprised, how could they have thought that Zhang Hong would say such a condition.

"How about it? If you don't agree, it's fine. Anyway, I don't mean to force you."

The two maids gritted their teeth, "Since Ma'am said it, we'll just do what you said."

The two raised their palms and slapped their cheeks, louder than louder.

Zhang Hong stood in front of the two of them and watched, a smug smile gradually appeared on his face.

Half an hour later, blood was oozing from the cheeks of the two maids, Zhang Hong frowned, and her voice was full of disgust, "Oh, you guys are so serious, it's so weird to make people look like ghosts or ghosts now." It's so scary."

After dismissing the two maids, Zhang Hong let out a deep breath. She turned and walked towards the door of the house, lingering there, as if waiting for something.

In the living room, Bai Li looked at Murong Hong with a serious face, and frowned twice, "This is all the situation, as for why Murong Pei did this, I don't know." She said everything she investigated come out.

Murong Hong felt disappointed for a while. It seemed that Murong Pei was in danger, so he turned to look at Bai Li, "I have really been sorry to you and your mother for so many years."

Bai Li raised the corner of her mouth and laughed, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "You misunderstood, I have tried my best on this matter, as for you being sorry for me and my mother, that is another matter."

Murong Hong shook his head when he heard the words, "I'm getting old, and my health is getting worse day by day, so I can't control that much anymore."

Bai Li looked at him, frowned twice, the person in front of him was no longer the all-powerful figure in the past.

"If there is a chance, see you later." Bai Li was about to leave.

Murong Hong frowned, "Bai Li, don't you even want to talk to me?"

Bai Li raised the corner of her mouth and laughed, "You misunderstood me again, I didn't mean that, I still have things to do, so I have to leave."

Murong Hong reached out and took out a string of white jade necklaces from the drawer, and handed them to Bai Li, "This is an ancestral necklace from the Murong family, please accept it."

Bai Li looked at the necklace, and frowned. Murong Hong has never acknowledged her identity, and she has always been the deepest secret of the Murong family.

Now he wants to give himself the ancestral jade necklace, everything in front of her is so ironic to her.

Could it be because something happened to Murong Pei that now Murong Hong has admitted his status?

Bai Li didn't reach out to take it, she raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, "You're thinking wrong, I've never been from the Murong family, so I won't accept favors from the Murong family."

Murong Hong frowned tightly, "Bai Li, I was wrong before, but you have to give me a chance, let me make up for it."

A cold light flashed in Bai Li's eyes, if he made it up when he and his mother were dependent on each other when he was a teenager, he would give him a chance without hesitation.

But not now!
