Furthermore, she was reluctant to let this divine hound get injured.
The dog instantly stopped attacking and obediently returned to Meng Fuying’s side.
Feng Lingyun let out a long breath. It could be seen that he was quite frightened.
Bai Yichen’s eyes flashed slightly. When he saw the anxious look on her face that she had yet to conceal, he was stunned. She was really worried that the dog, even more so than…
He suddenly felt frustrated…
However, his body quickly arrived in front of her. Qing Zhu and the dog simultaneously protected Meng Fuying.
As for Meng Fuying, she was still half leaning against the chair, not moving… in the slightest.
Bai Yichen was shocked. He had only seen such calmness in one person. It was the Seventh Prince, Xuanyuan Ye. Now, she actually…
The frustration in Bai Yichen’s heart spread even further, as if he had suddenly lost his original calm. He growled in a slightly angry tone, “Meng Fuying, you’re good. Didn’t you want to attract my attention? Didn’t you want me to change my decision to end the engagement? I…”
She waved her hand and hugged the dog again. She enjoyed the smooth fur and the comfortable feeling.
“Young Master Feng really thinks too highly of me…” She paused for a moment and took a sip of tea before adding, “You’re on your own.”
“Cough.” Qing Zhu nearly choked on his own saliva. He looked at Meng Fuying with a slightly resentful expression.
How could he say that? He almost killed her. However, Master’s words were also too surprising.
Bai Yichen’s expression changed a few times in an instant. There was even a trace of redness on his cheeks. Her words were really too hurtful. However, he had never thought that what he had said to Meng Fuying in the past was ten times, a hundred times more hurtful than this.
Meng Fuying finally raised her eyes and looked at him. Because the corners of her eyes were closed, her small pupils revealed a coldness that could see through everything.
She could not deny.
This man was indeed an out-and-out handsome man. His elegance and grace could not even be described as a tenth of his charisma.
His eyes were as black as ink and his nosebridge was high. His sexy thin lips were so perfect that the girls couldn’t help but scream.
Not only did he have the scholarly elegance, he also had the shrewdness of a businessman. Such a man was indeed rare.
It was no wonder that the Meng Fuying of the past would be so infatuated with him. It was just a pity that his heart was not with her. Forget it, why did he have to humiliate her in all sorts of ways and even ruthlessly take her life?
Bai Yichen was stunned again. Although her eyes looked a little small, there was a strange glow to her gaze.
“Oh right, since you’re here, I’ll let you know. When my father comes back, I’ll ask him to ask the emperor to cancel the engagement.” If the engagement was to be called off, she would be the one to do so.
Bai Yichen’s body suddenly froze. He suddenly felt suffocated.
Feng Lingyun’s eyes were wide open as he stared at her in disbelief. Did he hear wrongly? This woman actually said that she wanted to end the engagement?
She loved Chen so much, why would she break off the engagement? Impossible, absolutely impossible. She must be playing hard to get. However, when her eyes turned to Bai Yichen and saw the strange expression on his face, she was even more shocked.
Did Bai Yichen fall for this woman’s trap? What about Lan’er?
When Feng Lingyun left Lord Hou’s Estate, he no longer had the arrogance he had when he arrived previously. And Bai Yichen’s expression was even stranger.
When they left, they even forgot to ask for the antidote.
“Master, you deliberately angered Young Master Bai, right?” After they left, Qing Zhu looked at Meng Fuying with a probing gaze.
“Do you think I have so much free time?” Meng Fuying rolled her eyes at her. Scaring Bai Yichen? Hmph, she did not have the time to waste on him.
“But Master, you clearly love Young Master Bai so much and only want to marry Young Master Bai. Why would you suddenly do that?” Qing Zhu shrunk her body slightly but still refused to give up.
Meng Fuying was slightly stunned. It was indeed impossible for a person’s feelings to change so quickly. She explained in a low voice, “After that collision, I understood that feelings can’t be forced. What’s yours is yours, not yours. It can’t be forced.”
“Master finally understands. That’s great,” Qing Zhu said with a gratified expression. Although Young Master Bai was indeed very outstanding, so outstanding that all the women in the capital wanted to marry him, if he bullied her Master like that, her Master would not be happy even if she married him.
“Right, this servant…” Qing Zhu suddenly recalled something.
“Don’t call yourself that in front of me. It’s annoying to hear.” Meng Fuying quickly interrupted Qing Zhu. In her mind, everyone was equal. What little girl? What servant? She was annoyed to hear that.
Qing Zhu was stunned. She looked at her in confusion and asked, “Master, what is it?”
“In the future, in front of me, call yourself ‘I’. If anyone dares to let me hear the word ‘servant’ again, I will punish them.” Meng Fuying’s eyes swept across the people in the courtyard one by one, her face solemn.
“Master, how can this be? This servant…” Qing Zhu was shocked and repeatedly exclaimed.
“Hm?” Meng Fuying’s eyes looked at her with a hint of warning, making her words stuck in her throat.
“If you want to follow me, then listen to me.” Meng Fuying spoke again. There was an obvious threat in her voice.
Green Bamboo was startled. After hesitating for a moment, she replied in a low voice, “Yes, I… I understand.”
She did not dare to use the word ‘I’. Calling herself by her name was not considered rude. However, there was a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
Ever since she was young, she had never been treated as an equal. Now that her master treated her like this, how could she not be moved?
The other girls were shocked but also grateful.
“I’ve already reported Master’s matter to the empress dowager. Since Master is fine now, why don’t you enter the palace tomorrow to pay your respects to the empress dowager?” Qing Zhu paused for a moment before saying gently.
“Alright,” replied Meng Fuying readily.
In that memory, the empress dowager always doted on her the most. Even if she was foolish and often caused trouble, the empress dowager still doted on her that much.
The next day, early in the morning, Qing Zhu brought her straight to the Empress Dowager’s birthday palace.
“Little girl Ying, quickly come, let grandma take a look.” The moment they entered the room, the empress dowager pulled her into her embrace, her face full of heartache and love.
Even though the empress dowager was already in her sixties, she maintained herself extremely well, and her body also quite strong.
“Grandmother.” Meng Fuying leaned into her embrace. Her nose suddenly scrunched up a little. She was an orphan and had grown up in an orphanage since she was young. Such warmth had always been what she desired the most in her heart..
