Chapter 702: New Year’s greetings

Song Hexiang knelt, walked forward, and held Pei Qinghan’s sleeve tightly again. Then, cried sadly until her makeup spread on her face, which made Pei Qinghan even more disgusted.

“Houye, I know that I am guilty of this sin, but please remember that I am an ignorant and stupid woman. Please spare me this time. From now on, I will—”

Pei Qinghan waved his hand, then a crisp slapped sounded in the room. Song Hexiang stopped making a sound and looked at the man in front of her blankly. He still looked handsome and elegant. He still has the face she admired and loved, but the look in his eyes was a stranger to her.

“Bitch, you still have the face to beg for mercy. If you didn’t give birth to a daughter for me, do you think you can still live?”

“Someone come, take them away from here!” He pressed the pain in his chest, which made him feel dizzy. After seeing the two wicked women taken away, a smell of fishy scent surged in his throat. After spouting a mouthful of blood, his body softened and collapsed on the bed.

Bai Zhenzhu was trying her new clothes at Lan Courtyard. She doesn’t know what happened to Pei Qinghan. She was just thinking of giving Pei Qinghan and Madam Xiang a greeting. This was her first New Year greeting to the two of them. They must have prepared to give her a big red envelop.

She was so happy that she put on the newly tailored clothes, but when she was about to go out. A maidservant hurried into the room and said: “Miss, it’s not good, something big happened.”

Bai Zhenzhu frowned and immediately glared at the maidservant, then said angrily: “This is the first day of the Chinese New Year. Is that how you should speak?”

The maidservant shrank her neck and didn’t dare to open her mouth again.

Seeing her like this, Bai Zhenzhu felt a lot more refreshed. From living in Huangtuo Village to Changyuan Houfu, from being poor to being rich and powerful, this change made Bai Zhenzhu more and more fond of this life. In here, she can waste food, she can wear new beautiful clothes every day, she can scold people at will, and she was treated like starts by others.

These were all her dreams, dreams that she thought would be impossible in her lifetime.

She stared at the shivering maidservant and asked in a deep voice: “What happened for you to make such a big fuss?”

The maidservant busily replied: “Miss, this slave just passed by the Sirong Courtyard and heard from a servant who came out there, saying that Houye was carried back from the palace last night, and immediately after waking up, he called Concubine Xiang to question her. After that, he was ordered to locked Concubine Xiang into the firewood house, and then Houye passed out again. He hasn’t woken up since then.”

“What?” Bai Zhenzhu’s face drastically changed as her heart skipped a beat. Concubine Xiang was locked in the firewood house and the marquis fainted twice. This must be because of some big event!

Is this big event related to me?

The thought of giving New Year’s greetings disappeared in an instant. Instead, she ordered the maidservant: “You go and find out what happened to Madam. Go!”

When the maidservant went out, Bai Zhenzhu ran back and forth to the room. She was about to sit down to take a break, but the next moment, another maidservant came in to report: “Miss, Prince Xiao has come. He wanted to see Houye, but he learned that Houye is still unconscious, so he came to the Lan Courtyard.”

Prince Xiao is here?

A man’s face immediately popped out in her mind. A face that somewhat similar to Hu Feng. He was also handsome and extraordinary, but not as righteous as Hu Feng. His eyes always looked cold and fierce.

She didn’t like this Prince Xiao, but she also didn’t dislike him. It’s just, whenever she saw him, her heart doesn’t skip a beat unlike when she saw Hu Feng. Instead, she always feels scared.

Bai Zhenzhu went to the dressing table and fixed her hair: “You go and let him wait at the flower hall, I will come soon.”
