Chapter 31: The Desireless Prince vs. the Scheming Concubine in the Buddhist Temple 7

After hearing this, Bai Zhanxiong didn't care about Meng Jiao's ironic address to him as Lord Bai. Instead, he looked at Chu anxiously.

"Is what Meng Jiao said true? Is the marriage really cancelled?"

Chu's eyes rolled around, she knelt down and started crying.

"Master, this is a misunderstanding. I have raised her for the past two years. Even if I have no credit for her, I have worked hard.

How could I deliberately not pick her up? I really hadn't received any news from her and just thought she had arranged it herself. As for the Duke's Mansion, seeing how hard I had worked to find her, the prince went out to look for her himself. Who would have thought that an accident would happen on the way to find her, and in a fit of anger he canceled the marriage.

I tried my best to dissuade him, but in the end I was unable to change his mind."

After saying this, he covered his face and sobbed as if in pain.

Seeing Chu like this, Bai Menglian hurriedly knelt beside her mother, speaking in a gentle, sobbing voice.

"Dad, you misunderstood mom. That monk must have taken kickbacks. There really is no monk who came to our house in person. Also, brother Yu told me in private that my sister is too dull and wanted to cancel the engagement a long time ago. There was nothing mother could do."

Meng Jiao really wanted to laugh out loud after hearing this. They were truly mother and daughter, acting so realistically. Afraid of being punished by Bai Zhanxiong, Bai Menglian actually called Yu brother. The legitimate daughter of an official family, aren't they ashamed?

"You mean, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is lying?"

"Bai Mengjiao!"

Bai Zhanxiong had roughly understood everything after hearing this, but compared to the unattainable Crown Prince, the ladder that he could grasp was more important. Thinking about it, Meng Jiao had not suffered any actual harm, so he spoke to smooth things over.

"Your father knows that you have been wronged, but it is difficult to have both. You should also think about the Bai family. Since the marriage has been cancelled, then cancel it. With your personality, it would be better for your mother to find you a few more stable husbands."

Meng Jiao's lips curled up into an evil smile.

"Oh, Lord Bai, aren't you afraid that I will complain to the Crown Prince?"

"Bang!" A teacup smashed in front of Meng Jiao.

"As a girl, you haven't learned the cultivation of your mother at all! Don't push your luck. I, the elder in the family, will punish you. When will it be your turn to point fingers? Get out of here. This matter ends here!"

Even though Ruozhu was protecting her, Mengjiao still accidentally got rubbed on the forehead by the broken pieces of the porcelain cup, leaving a tiny wound that was faintly bleeding.

Mother? Education? Old thing, you gave me milk when my child died, you shook off the snot when it got into your mouth, you missed my mother when she died, you really don't want to be shameless,

Bai Menglian couldn't help but smile sarcastically at Meng Jiao from the corner of her lips under the handkerchief. Did she really think that the prince could change his father's mind with just a few words?

Seeing this, Meng Jiao immediately opened her mouth, thinking that she would beg for mercy if she died today!

As a result, the system responded that Pei Jinye had called one of his secret guards over, who was hiding outside and watching everything.

Meng Jiao was like a deflated ball. She gave up the thought of continuing to argue with Bai's father and quickly raised her hand to cover it. She pressed hard on the wound on her forehead to stimulate bleeding. Tears instantly filled her eyes with pain.

With red eyes, he gave Father Bai a disappointed look, then strode out of the reception room with Ruozhu.

The secret guard on the tree saw everything. After watching Meng Jiao return to her yard safely, he flew away.

She returned to Meng Jiao who was in the courtyard, and rejected Ruozhu's hand that was stretched out to apply the medicine.

"Miss, your forehead is swollen and a little bruised. It will hurt if you don't apply medicine."

Meng Jiao's skin was delicate, and it was only a shallow wound, but when she pressed it, it looked horrible.

Meng Jiao did not explain and told Ruozhu to get some food.

But she thought in her heart that she would not apply any medicine, and even if necessary at night, she would have to hit herself more severely.

Now that she is back at the mansion, in addition to getting Pei Jinye to take her back to the East Palace as soon as possible, the original owner's mother's death has been over a year ago. If she wants to find evidence, she must act before Pei Jinye takes her away.

At night, thanks to the rapid healing ability of the body pills she took, Meng Jiao had to tear open the healed wounds again with her own hands. The original redness and swelling subsided, and Meng Jiao had to bang her head against the bed again until it turned red.

I sat aside and waited obediently to fall asleep, but the system suddenly broadcast that Pei Jinye had arrived.

Shit! Wasn't it a dream? He broke into someone's bedroom in the middle of the night. He's the prince, so he has no moral principles!

Meng Jiao closed her eyes anxiously, ruffled her hair and crawled into the quilt.

After Pei Jinye returned to the imperial city and sent Meng Jiao back, he entered the palace and immediately paid his respects to his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress.

I didn't expect to stay a little longer while dining with her. When I came out, I heard the secret guard report that Meng Jiao was injured. I was anxious and rushed over subconsciously.

Ruozhu, who was serving in the yard, had been knocked unconscious by the secret guards, leaving him alone standing in front of the door. Only then did he realize how ridiculous his behavior was.

Whatever, he was always so impatient when it came to her.

Pushing open the door, the familiar scent of the albizzia tree filled the entire room. Worried about her wound, he walked around the screen outside and quickly headed towards the only big bed in the room.

Sitting lightly on the edge of the bed, Pei Jinye looked at the pale-faced little girl with blood oozing from her forehead.

His rough fingertips could not help but touch her beautiful cheek. Her slightly hot white skin made his cold palms warm.

The anxiety and worry I had on the way here were relieved the moment I saw her.

Meng Jiao slowly opened her eyes at this time, and looked at Pei Jinye who was lighting the lamp in the room openly, and she was speechless.

How come you treat this place as your own home?

With misty eyes, Meng Jiao opened her lips and called softly,

"Your Highness, is that you?"

Pei Jinye paused as he was about to withdraw his hand. The little girl took the opportunity to grab his hand and rubbed it softly in his palm.

"Your Highness, I'm in Jiaojiao's dream again."

Pei Jinye's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and his throat became dry.

Could she even dream of that dream? What about those things in my dream...

Pei Jinye was facing away from the light, and Meng Jiao couldn't see his expression clearly, so she could only rub his hand and continue to perform.

"Your Highness, Jiaojiao is so tired. Jiaojiao is not doing well. You supported her but she still couldn't get justice for herself. Will you blame me for bringing shame to you?"

As Meng Jiao spoke, she let her tears slide into Pei Jinye's palm. She pointed at her injured forehead and complained to Pei Jinye.

"Your Highness, why don't you speak today? Jiaojiao's forehead hurts so much, wuwu, don't you want me anymore?"

Pei Jinye took out the ointment that the secret guard had brought, and with a gloomy look in his eyes, he held the little girl on his lap, put his arms around her waist, opened the ointment, and applied it to her injured area bit by bit.

Meng Jiao hid in his arms in pain, whimpering.

Then, as if she sensed something was wrong, she pressed Pei Jinye's hand as he applied the medicine to her, and spoke slowly,

"Your Highness, does it hurt?"

After saying this, Meng Jiao's body suddenly froze, and her face turned red rapidly.

Not daring to look at the man’s expression, she suddenly climbed back onto the bed from him, stumbling and trying to hide under the quilt.
