If it was only in Bai Mansion, Bai Ziyi would still be able to control the situation, but now that it has spread to the community, this matter is much more complicated.

The qi of depression was blocked in Zheng Zhi's chest, and there was not much anger and surprise when she looked at Bai Ziyi, I don't know if it was because she believed her or didn't care too much.

After Zheng Zhi returned to Tinglan Courtyard, it didn't take long for Ershi to take advantage of the thrush to ask someone to prepare dinner and secretly brought Ling Xiao's message to Zheng Zhi. It turned out that Ling Xiao had also heard the gossip outside, and he was very worried about Zheng Zhi, and he had already used his strength to quietly spread the clarifying news to make Zheng Zhi feel at ease.

Zheng Zhi spent two days in Tinglan Courtyard depressed, and in the early morning of this day, she was still freshening up when she heard a commotion, and the sound seemed to come from her yard. She asked the thrush to see what was going on, but before the thrush could come back, she saw Qian with a bad face.

After Qian entered the door, he looked Zheng Zhi up and down several times with scrutinizing eyes. Zheng Zhi felt a little numb in her scalp.

"Aunt Qian won't let anyone know when she comes in, I'll prepare refreshments here in advance." Zheng Zhi awkwardly brushed the somewhat loose bun that had been hastily combed before.

Qian's gaze today was sharp, she sat down at the table, sighed heavily, and said, "I'm not in the mood to eat any more refreshments." In the past few days, the house is about to fall out. The business of the shops under the name of Baifu was cold, and many bidders and dealers began to be reluctant to come to the shops of Baifu to buy. My lord has been worried these days, and he is not even in the mood to take care of his favorite flowers and birds. ”

Qian paused, glanced at Zheng Zhi and continued: "The eldest prince is under a lot of pressure now, and everyone is poking him in the backbone, but this kid still holds on to himself and has never questioned you. Rui'er and Zifei are painful in their eyes, but these two children are also good-hearted masters, and they are embarrassed to say anything to you, so I have to do this bad guy. ”

“…… So what did Aunt Qian want to say? Zheng Zhi patiently listened to Qian go around in such a big circle, and finally followed the focus of what she was going to say.

"Since these rumors about you have spread so much that they affect the reputation and business of our Kashiwa Mansion, then you have to set an example."

Zheng Zhi looked at Qian's expression and momentum as if he was righteous, and sure enough, people often don't like icing on the cake, but they love to fall into the ground.

"Aunt Qian, although Zheng Zhi has never been bullied like outsiders, I really don't want to affect Bai Mansion. How to deal with it, naturally, Master Bai and the eldest prince have the final say. Zheng Zhi looked directly at Qian firmly.

Hearing this, Qian narrowed his eyes, "Outsiders? Do you mean I'm an outsider too? She accentuated her tone, "Tell you, I'm naturally here to represent the master!" ”

Zheng Zhi silently clenched her hand into a fist, and her untrimmed nails were embedded in her palms.

"Aunt Qian, I can prove my innocence."

After a while, Qian waited suspiciously through the screen, which was the mother-in-law she had just ordered someone to find someone to watch the woman's affairs, and another person was the party Zheng Zhi.

Not long after, the mother-in-law came out, and she whispered a few words in Qian's ear. Qian's expression began to become suspicious. After Zheng Zhi came out, Qian glanced at her up and down again, and immediately turned to leave.

After Zheng Zhi and the others left, they sat down at the table as if they had lost all their strength. She didn't know what greeted her after that.

On that day, Kashiwa House was gradually getting into the night as usual. Thrush waited for Zheng Zhi to wash and sleep, and no one bothered her.
