The Bai family has a daughter who wants to turn over

Chapter 22 Bai Zhengzhong's Estimation
"Tell me, what is the important matter that you want to meet with Second Young Master Cheng in private?" Bai Zhengzhong asked impatiently as soon as he sat down in the study.

And Bai Shuangshuang no longer concealed it, and talked about all the things he talked with Cheng Ruohan in the backyard of Cheng's mansion, but concealed a part of what he had conspired for Cheng Ruohan, and changed it to Cheng Ruohan's own thoughts.

Although Bai Zhengzhong was curious about the content of the conversation between Bai Shuangshuang and Cheng Ruohan, he still didn't take it seriously. He didn't think Cheng Ruohan could have any big things to talk to a little girl like Bai Shuangshuang, let alone who is really in charge of the Cheng family's business. He also knew it in his heart.

But as Bai Shuangshuang narrated, the contempt on Bai Zhengzhong's face gradually faded, and became more dignified. When Bai Shuangshuang mentioned Cheng Ruohan's desire to obtain the power of the dragon, Bai Zhengzhong stood up subconsciously and listened more and more. more carefully.

After Bai Shuangshuang finished speaking, Bai Zhengzhong didn't speak for a long time.

After a long while, Bai Zhengzhong sighed in confusion: "I can't see that Second Young Master Cheng has such foresight."

Bai Shuangshuang didn't answer.

Bai Zhengzhong said again: "Second Young Master Cheng asked you to ask me what I think?" While talking, he wanted to sit back behind the desk: "He has a plan, so why did he come to ask me what to do?"

Bai Shuangshuang quietly paid attention to Bai Zhengzhong's expression, and replied unhurriedly: "Second Master Cheng heard that my grandfather has always supported His Highness the Crown Prince, probably... want to confirm whether the cooperation with His Highness the Crown Prince is feasible?"

"..." Bai Zhengzhong froze when he sat down, and looked at Bai Shuangshuang in surprise: "He even talked to you about this?"

Bai Shuangshuang hummed, waiting for Bai Zhengzhong's next words.

The grandfather Bai Shuangshuang was talking about was naturally the Zheng family's father, Zheng Taiwei. Zheng Taiwei had been fighting with the late emperor since he was a child.And one of the reasons why he is highly regarded is that he never takes sides in any party struggles, and will always only be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.

Bai Zhengzhong felt a little weird about what Bai Shuangshuang said: Why does Taiwei Zheng support His Highness the Crown Prince?

It's no wonder that Bai Zhengzhong couldn't be sure. As the daughter of a Taiwei, Mrs. Zheng was only a fifth-rank official's outer chamber. , Zheng Taiwei has always been indifferent to Zheng Shi, and he is also cold to Bai Zhengzhong.

Although what Bai Shuangshuang said was sudden, it was possible. Since even the second young master of the Cheng family had heard about it, it was by no means groundless.

Bai Zhengzhong couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his father-in-law hid it so deeply that there was not even a single word from the Kangxuan Dynasty.

Bai Zhengzhong coughed lightly: "Did Second Young Master Cheng say how he found out?"

"No, as a girl, my daughter doesn't want to ask too many questions. I just want to come back and tell my father." Bai Shuangshuang said it was reasonable, but she added another sentence: "Since the prince mentioned this matter, will it be possible?" ..."

Bai Zhengzhong nodded thoughtfully, thinking it was possible.

Seeing that Bai Zhengzhong needed time to sort out what she said, Bai Shuangshuang resigned sensiblely: "Daddy, my daughter will go back first."

"Yeah." Bai Zhengzhong really needed to be alone for a while. "You, a little girl, don't get involved in these things." After a pause, he continued: "Next time this happens, you can just let Second Young Master Cheng come to me directly."

"Yes, Dad. It's getting late, so you should go to bed earlier."

"I know."

When he came out of Bai Zhengzhong's study, an hour had passed, and Bai Shuangshuang didn't want to go back to the front hall to see Zheng Shi and Bai Mingzhu's faces, so he walked straight to his Qinyuan.

Although the moon was bright and the stars were sparse at this time, the night in early spring was still very cool. Bai Shuangshuang curled up her neck and hugged her arms, and walked slowly along the corridor to the yard under the moonlight, while sorting out some useful things that she had gained today. information.

Before that, she had never understood why the fifth prince would help such an inconspicuous little daughter-in-law. She guessed whether it was because the fifth prince himself had a personal grievance with the Bai family.

Today, when Cheng Ruohan mentioned His Highness the Crown Prince, it suddenly occurred to her that Zheng Taiwei, the father of the Zheng family, seemed to have retired after the Eighth Prince ascended the throne. It also seems too coincidental.

She also just made a bold assumption, guessing that Zheng Taiwei is actually not clean, and has participated in party disputes, but it is not eye-catching.The fifth prince was executed in the previous life. If Zheng Taiwei belonged to the fifth prince, he would definitely not just sue for old age. Then, he could only be the prince who was imprisoned in the previous life.

Bai Shuangshuang wanted to confirm her guess through Bai Zhengzhong's reaction, but she didn't expect that Bai Zhengzhong couldn't give any useful information at all, which really disappointed her.

It seems that she is delusional to use the prince's desire to cooperate with the Cheng family to bring Cheng Ruohan and the Zheng family into the game at the same time, and she can only do it step by step.

Bai Shuangshuang hugged her arms and shivered, suddenly thinking that her arms were held by Cheng Ruohan today, and thinking of him chanting her small words "Shuangshuang" in her ears, the sourness in her stomach suddenly rushed to her mouth side.

"vomit--!"

Bai Shuangshuang leaned on the wall in a nonchalant manner, and finally couldn't help vomiting out, one after another, as if all the internal organs were going to be vomited out together.

At the banquet today, she didn't eat much because she was thinking about things, and most of the acid she spit out at this time was gall water, which only choked her to tears.

After finally stopping vomiting, Bai Shuangshuang lost all strength and was about to fall down, but was supported by Chuntao who had been wandering on the path between Qinyuan and the study in the front yard.

"Miss!" Chuntao's voice was urgent, but she lowered it to avoid being heard. "Miss, are you okay?"

The last time Bai Shuangshuang retched like this was after meeting Cheng Ruohan in the bamboo grove, she returned to Qinyuan and was sick for a long time, but she didn't vomit like this exhausted.

Chuntao helped Bai Shuangshuang caress her back, and used a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of Bai Shuangshuang's eyes and the filth from her mouth, and said very distressed: "Miss, you...you have to take care of yourself."

Bai Shuangshuang was panting heavily, thinking that she was still useless, she and Cheng Ruohan would have countless opportunities to meet each other in the future, if she always felt disgusted like this, her body might not be able to bear it.

After waiting for a long time, Bai Shuangshuang calmed down, and asked Cai Sang just a little later: "How does she answer?"

Chuntao wanted to let Bai Shuangshuang go back to the courtyard to rest before talking about business, but she also knew that Bai Shuangshuang's tantrums would stop talking before she replied: "As the eldest lady expected, she gave up on the madam's side."

Bai Shuangshuang hooked her lips: "If you don't force her, if you force her, she will always not understand that it is not safe to step on two boats."
