I Conquer the World For My Duke

Feng Linyuan's voice came out lightly. He clearly did not have any emotions, but he gave off an inexplicable pressure.

The carriage driver raised up a corner of the carriage curtain, just in time for the soldiers to see that Feng Linyuan's originally lowered eyes had slowly raised up the moment the carriage curtain was lifted. His sharp gaze frightened the soldiers outside into kneeling down: "Master Hou, please forgive us! Please forgive me, Master Hou! "

The curtains were immediately drawn, and the carriage drove through the gates unhindered.

"Miss Bai can come out now." Feng Linyuan looked at Bai Zheng who was right behind him. The sharpness in her eyes had been replaced by gentleness and she smirked.

However, Bai Zheng acted as if she did not hear it, and remained motionless.

"Miss Bai?" Feng Linyuan warned her once again.

Only then did Bai Zheng slowly raise her head and met with Feng Linyuan's eyes that were filled with suspicion. She opened her mouth, but did not know what to say.

The moment she hid behind Feng Linyuan, the tip of her nose was shrouded by the familiar smell of medicine.

If it was during the day, because of the sudden attack of the Liufeng, when Bai Zheng landed in Feng Linyuan's embrace, she did not regain her senses, causing him to not have any memory of the smell at all.

Then, just now, when Bai Zheng smelt this medicinal fragrance, she was completely awake.

This scent, so familiar, had an indescribable calming power.

He must have smelled it somewhere.

"Has Master Hou seen me before?" Bai Zheng muttered.

Feng Linyuan frowned, he did not know why she would suddenly ask that question, and thought for a moment before replying: I have.

"Where?" Bai Zheng asked.

Feng Linyuan looked at the eager girl in front of him, tilted his head, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since then, you were still in your infancy, I am only about six or seven years old, and let Father take you to the General Mansion …"

Bai Zheng's expression sank as she interrupted: "Master Hou is playing with me?"

Six or seven years old? When Feng Linyuan was six or seven years old, his health was probably so good that it could beat a calf.

Feng Linyuan raised his eyebrows, "This marquis is speaking the truth, I have never played with Miss Bai."

Bai Zheng took a deep breath and replied as calmly as she could, "Master Hou's memories of the six or seven years old are rather deep."

Feng Linyuan nodded his head, "Old General Bai and my late father were still friends, so this marquis coincidentally saw the Miss Bai side of him. Oh, this marquis had even hugged the Miss Bai before. At that time, the Miss Bai was white and tender, and was even more obedient than today. "

"Is that so?" Bai Zheng unknowingly twitched her mouth.

"Exactly." "At that time, Miss Bai was wrapped in a fiery red jacket, and her carvings were extremely cute. At the beginning, I wanted to hug her, but Old General Bai wasn't willing to."

"In that case, the fate between Master Hou and Bai Zheng is not shallow at all." Bai Zheng curled her lips.

The smile on Feng Linyuan's face grew wider, and his voice became as light as the last echo in the valley, "Indeed, it's not shallow at all."

Bai Zheng looked at Feng Linyuan, wanting to find something on his face.

In her heart, she felt as if there was someone sealed within ice, trying to break open the ice time and time again.

Feng Linyuan's words suddenly made a crack in the ice, as though it could completely crack apart with just a light tap.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break it.

The carriage gradually slowed down, and before long, the carriage driver outside said softly: "The Bai Mansion has arrived."

Bai Zheng lowered her eyes and did not speak. When she raised her head again, his face had a normal smile on it. She looked at Feng Linyuan and said: "Thank you very much, Master Hou. Bai Zheng will take her leave."

Feng Linyuan nodded and watched her get off the carriage.

The wheels once again rolled across the bluish brick road, leaving silently in the dark night.

Zhuling had been standing guard at the back door the entire time. When she saw that Bai Zheng had finally returned, she was overjoyed and ran forward to greet him. If you don't come back, the old master and the young master will have to personally go look for you again. "

"I was delayed because of something. I came back a little later and worried everyone." Bai Zheng glanced at the carriage that was leaving, then turned and walked straight into the residence.

"Zheng!" The moment Bai Zheng stepped into the room, she heard Madame Lin calling out to her. Her face had a layer of a smile, and she replied with a sweet voice: "Mother."

"Why are you so late?" The Madame Lin pretended to be angry.

"I thought that my sister wasn't willing to participate in tomorrow's marriage selection and would secretly sneak over to my grandmother's house!" Bai Nianming laughed and ran over to Bai Zheng's side, her face full of ridicule.

"I might as well just slip away to Grandmother's." Thinking about what happened tomorrow, Bai Nianjin had a face full of worry.

Bai Zheng rubbed Bai Nianming's soft hair, and said without care: "A bunch of good marriage matters are up to me to choose from, this is not a treatment that any young miss can get, I am happy but there is no need to hide."

"Elder sister …" Bai Nianjin still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by the silent Bai Yinan: "Alright, you guys should head back to your rooms to rest quickly. Zheng still has things to do tomorrow, don't surround her. "

Bai Nianjin looked at his own father, whose eyebrows were tightly knitted. He understood in his heart, grabbed Bai Nianming and bowed before supporting Madame Lin out.

Suddenly, only Bai Yinan and Bai Zheng were left in the house.

Bai Zheng strode forward, walked to the side of the chair near Bai Yinan and sat down: "Does father have something to talk about with Zheng?"

Bai Yinan nodded his head, and said: "These few days, I have met all the people who had come to propose marriage, and asked your uncle to help me investigate them. There are a few young masters who are not bad, with good natures, a good family background, and a pure family background.

Bai Zheng could not help but laugh, "Father, are you really looking at them?"

"Of course. You aren't young anymore, even though the marriage at Mansion of Prime Minister has been annulled, in the end, you still want to marry someone. Take advantage of this time to choose a good family and forget about the matter between your mother and me. " Bai Yinan said in a serious tone.

Bai Zheng raised her brows slightly: "I'm afraid these people are not sincerely asking for marriage."

Bai Yinan stroked his beard: "Not everyone is sincere, father has already investigated him for you. That Young Master Qin from Mansion of Jing Zhao Yin, aged eighteen, was once your brother's classmate. "And that fourth young master Jiang from the Duke of Jiang Prefecture, seventeen years old, is also on good terms with your elder brother and knows his limits …"

Bai Zheng interrupted: "Are these young masters recommended by uncle?" Bai Zheng's big brother, Bai Nianyin, was Bai Yizhang's eldest son. Like Bai Di, he always looked down on his own cousin.

How could he be so kind?

Bai Yinan nodded his head: "Your uncle is also extremely concerned about your marriage."

Bai Yizhang was serious? After what happened the last time, Bai Yizhang would probably want to tear her apart.

Bai Zheng endured, in the end, she did not say those words, and only said: "If I were to choose Young Master Qin or Young Master Jiang, wouldn't that be defying the good intentions of your highness?"

Thinking about Feng Jingye and Feng Jingxuan, who were like water and fire now, Bai Yinan smiled lightly: "Today, Gaochang Marquis came to find me, and discussed with me about tomorrow's competition to recruit marriage for you. If the people recommended by His Highness fail to stand out in the competition, then it will be because they are incompetent, and cannot be blamed on us! "

"Groom competition?" Bai Zheng raised her eyebrows.
