Chapter 125 Accountability ([-])

Although the doors and windows of Bai Zhengzhong's study room were not opened to the west, the room was still a bit stuffy when the whole wall was exposed to the sun, and Bai Zhengzhong didn't seem to have someone bring ice cubes in. As soon as he entered the door, he put his hands behind his back, with a dark face Looking at Zheng Shi.

Mrs. Zheng felt apprehensive, and smiled apologetically, "Master, what are you doing looking at me like that?"

Bai Zhengzhong narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Let me ask you, is there anything you want to tell me?"

"..." Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and her first reaction was to wonder if Bai Zhengzhong had found out about her partnership with Cheng Ruohan, but then she thought that the matter had been resolved and there was nothing to worry about, so she went He smiled and said, "What's the matter with me? It's just that I went to the Taiwei's Mansion today to visit my parents. I didn't know that Master, you returned to the mansion so early today, otherwise I would have come back earlier." Mrs. Zheng While talking, he walked to the desk and offered to make a cup of tea for Bai Zhengzhong.

But when Mrs. Zheng handed the tea to Bai Zhengzhong, he was thrown to the ground by Bai Zhengzhong's sudden anger.

"You stupid woman! How dare you lie to me!" Bai Zhengzhong looked at Zheng with red eyes and said angrily, "What do you take me for? An ignorant fool?!"

Mrs. Zheng was rejoicing that the herbal tea in her hand was not scalded, and then she was taken aback by Bai Zhengzhong's fury. She was surprised and angry and said, "Master, what are you talking about?" ? Where did I lie to you?"

"How dare you say you didn't lie to me!" Bai Zhengzhong was so angry that he almost grabbed Zheng Shi's lapel, but because he thought about the sage books he had read, he recited a gentleman's words without moving his hands, so he held back his words and clenched his hands tightly. Cheng Fist said: "How dare you take the cash from the farm to do business with the Cheng family without telling me? You also got involved in yesterday's fireworks! Are you willing to kill me just because you want to kill me?!"

As soon as Bai Zhengzhong said this, Zheng's last hope of being lucky was gone, and she said anxiously, "Master, don't worry, I have already gone to the Taiwei's Mansion to talk to my parents about this matter today, are you sure? There will be problems, I just took 10 taels to participate in the Shuyu Pavilion, and the fireworks workshop has nothing to do with me!"

"You—" Bai Zhengzhong was so angry that he couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Zheng Shi's skirt, approached her face, and said with distorted features: "You don't need my consent to keep this matter from me. , You actually cooperated with the Taiwei's Mansion to do this, you... you bitch, you don't pay attention to me at all!"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Zhengzhong had already pushed Zheng Shi to the ground heavily, pointing to the screaming Zheng Shi with his face flushed with anger, "I have tolerated you all these years as a domineering and powerful man in my White Mansion, I don't care about all the hardships you have had on Shuangshuang in those years, but now you have to hide even such a big matter from me, and you only care about your natal family. Are you trying to force me to divorce you? !"

"Divorce me?..." Mrs. Zheng stumbled up and got up, crying, "Master, I did this for our family! Mingzhu made a big mistake, and I can only do business for Mingzhu by agreeing to do business with the second child of Cheng's family." I got a marriage certificate, and all I realized was the dowry my mother gave me, and I didn't use any of the Baifu's property!"

"Stop talking!" For so many years, Bai Zhengzhong had been suffocating because of thinking about the Taiwei Mansion behind Zheng, and now he couldn't hold back when he vented it out.He interrupted Zheng's words and said: "Your Taiwei's family has a great career, I can't compare it, but since you have entered the gate of my Bai family, you must abide by the rules of my Bai family! Dare to go, is this the courage your father who is a captain gave you?!"

"Master, I—"

"Today, I was summoned by the emperor to ask me if I knew about this matter. Can you understand the embarrassment and fear I felt when I was asked?!" Bai Zhengzhong said the key point, kicking a chair on one side in anger. He fell to the ground, but staggered two steps because of the pain of his foot injury.He smiled angrily and said: "Yes, you will be satisfied if your Taiwei Mansion can settle this matter. Have you ever thought about my situation? I managed to win some face in front of the imperial court, and now I will ruin it all for you." Now! The emperor probably not only knows about the fact that you used money to do business with the second child of the Cheng family, but also must have inquired about Mingzhu's affairs in the admiral's mansion a few months ago. My Bai family has lost half of the face now."

Mrs. Zheng heard the disappointment and despair in Bai Zhengzhong's tone, and immediately stepped forward and took the risk of being pushed away by Bai Zhengzhong, grabbed Bai Zhengzhong's arm, and tried her best to comfort him: "Master, my father has already said that we will hurry up and talk to us in the future. Let me take you to the Taiwei's mansion, my father will help you in your official career in the future."

"..."

This remark was undoubtedly the best medicine for Bai Zhengzhong who was in a rage. As soon as he said this, Bai Zhengzhong's anger dissipated a little, but after he calmed down and thought about it for a while, he felt that he still couldn't do it so quickly. Forgive Zheng Shi.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhengzhong snorted coldly: "Help? How has your father helped me all these years?" He stroked Zheng's hand away, but his movements were obviously not as rough as before, but his tone remained the same. Ling Lie said: "I, Bai Zhengzhong, am an ordinary talent, and I dare not expect extravagantly to be favored by your Taiwei Mansion."

"master……"

Bai Zhengzhong turned around, panted and sighed: "This time, we can get through this time, I just beg you not to cause trouble for me again! If you let me know that you are plotting behind the scenes, it shouldn't be I will definitely not give you any more face for your plans, you come from the Taiwei's mansion, so go from the Taiwei's mansion!"

To Zheng Shi, this was already quite a heavy word, and it vaguely revealed Bai Zhengzhong's idea of ​​wanting to divorce his wife. Zheng Shi felt pain in his heart, but he was full of grief and indignation but could not speak out.

"Go out, I don't want to see you again."

With tears all over Zheng's face, he asked nonchalantly: "Then tonight..."

"From today onwards, I will sleep in the study." After a pause, he continued, "Don't send people to ask questions all day long."

In the past, Bai Zhengzhong would sleep in the study when he and Zheng Shi quarreled, but Zheng Shi would send someone to inquire about Bai Zhengzhong's daily life every day, and within three days at most, Bai Zhengzhong would return to Zheng Shi's room.

However, this time, Bai Zhengzhong was determined not to reconcile with Zheng Shi, and blocked Zheng Shi's retreat ahead of time.

Mrs. Zheng swallowed her bitterness in grievance, and said with a low voice: "Then my father, let us go back to Taiwei's mansion..."

Bai Zhengzhong was startled when he heard the words, his mind was moved but he didn't show it on his face, he still said with a cold face: "I will go back to Taiwei's mansion with you."

At this moment, Mrs. Zheng also understood that what happened this time really made Bai Zhengzhong feel cold. If Taiwei Zheng couldn't give him real help, he might not be able to ease the relationship between her and Bai Zhengzhong.
