The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Bai Shihong explained: "He has stayed in the clan school all his life and is reluctant to leave. He said that he wants to open another private school in Hexi County and live with your second uncle."

Mrs. Bai also said, "Besides, we will go to the capital after the New Year, and there is nothing for him to do here alone. By the way, Zhao Zhao, you will be coming of age next month. I have discussed with your seventh aunt that we should invite the wife of Mr. Zhang as the main guest. What do you think?"

The seventh aunt that Mrs. Bai mentioned is Aunt Bai San, but Bai Zhaozhao was adopted and could no longer call her Aunt San.

Bai Zhaozhao nodded: "Sure, the Zhang family is closely connected with our Bai family, and Miss Zhang San and I are old acquaintances, so I will go and invite her to be the sponsor!"

In fact, she didn't know much about the ancient coming-of-age ceremony. She vaguely remembered that it was a very important coming-of-age ceremony. It would be nice to have a good one now. After all, she had never held one in the plot.

After handing over the visiting card to the Zhang family, she received a reply soon. Miss Zhang San said that she would be welcome to come tomorrow afternoon.

The next day, afternoon.

In Miss Zhang San's guest house, Bai Zhaozhao asked with great interest, "Is Miss Zhang engaged? I see a lot of embroidery in the room!"

Zhang Ruolan smiled gently and nodded generously: "Yes, you have seen this person too."

"Oh? Who is it?"

Zhang Ruolan replied, "In May, we will go to the Lotus Viewing Feast at Zhong's Mansion. Sister Zhao, you said that the second young master Zhong had his jade pendant stolen."

Zhong Jingfeng? Bai Zhaozhao was indeed very impressed and even placed bets with her. The two of them were a perfect match.

So Bai Zhaozhao echoed, "I heard at the last banquet that Madam Zhong was interested in choosing a daughter-in-law. Maybe she had already taken a fancy to you when she praised you alone at that time!"

"Shh!" Zhang Ruolan quickly covered Bai Zhaozhao's mouth, "Sister Zhao, please stop talking nonsense. That was just a rumor. Madam Zhong explained it later!"

Bai Zhaozhao reacted and said, "That means you two are really destined to be together. You can't escape it no matter how hard you try."

Zhang Ruolan was very happy after hearing this: "Yes, I didn't expect that. My mother was very satisfied with the Tian family's Dalang at first, and thought that she would go to inquire about him after my second brother took the exam! As a result, my second brother worked hard and got a second place. My mother wanted to see if there was anyone better and came to inquire about my family."

"And then you waited for Mrs. Zhong?"

"Yes!" Zhang Ruolan recalled, "My mother didn't expect it either! When she discussed it with my father, my father said that he already knew about it, and that Lord Zhong intended to recommend him to be transferred to the capital."

Bai Zhaozhao understood. Lord Zhang had formed an alliance with Lord Zhong! A marriage! However, with the power of the Zhong family, Zhang Ruolan was definitely marrying up.

"By the way, Sister Zhao, my mother said that your family will go to the capital after the New Year. Do you want to go with my elder brother and second brother?"

Bai Zhaozhao asked, "Are Young Master Zhang and his partner also going to participate in the Spring Examination?"

"Yes, my eldest brother passed the imperial examination three years ago, and he has made full preparations this time."

Bai Zhaozhao smiled and said, "Then I'll go back and ask, I wonder if Sister Zhang can come to my house next month to be my sponsor?"

"Ah, is Sister Zhao going to hold her coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Yes, I don't know many people in this city, so I can only shamelessly ask Sister Zhang to come."

"Great! I'll go!"

Just as Bai Zhaozhao was walking back, the long-lost feeling of confinement appeared again!

Oh shit, is Cheng Jiayu on the street?

Soon she knew the answer. A horse was rushing towards her in front of her. Many people dodged, but Bai Zhaozhao was the only one who couldn't move. In just a few breaths, the horse rushed to a place not far away. The person on the horse pulled the reins desperately and finally stopped.

Lord Zheng quickly dismounted and bowed, "I'm sorry, young lady. I startled the horse and almost hit you!"

Bai Zhaozhao was able to move at this time. She concluded that there must be something wrong with this person, so she could only say coldly: "Nothing!"

After saying that, he immediately flew away, even using his lightness skills.

Lord Zheng was a little confused. He was attracted by Bai Zhaozhao the moment he saw her, so he immediately thought of what to do next. He had to send the girl to the clinic, then send her home, and finally reveal his identity. After that, he could marry her.

As for her identity, haha, if she was a noble lady, why wouldn't she take a sedan chair and walk on the street by herself?

However, he never expected that the girl would run away so quickly! Oh, she couldn't run away!

Two days later.

Chunlan said to Bai Zhaozhao, "Miss, I have found out that the person who bumped into you on the street the day before yesterday was a man who was passing through the city on his way to Jinzhou to take up his post. He just entered the city and for some reason his horse got startled!"

Bai Zhaozhao was suddenly shocked. Taking office in Jinzhou?

"What's his last name? What's his official position?"

Chunlan said, "His surname is Zheng, and he is the deputy director of the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office, a fourth-rank official."

Bai Zhaozhao was puzzled. Isn't he the salt transport envoy?

Chunlan continued, "Miss, I also heard something. It is said that the wife of Mr. Zheng was bitten by a snake when she passed through Hexi County. Mr. Zheng originally wanted to find a female doctor, but he couldn't find one, so he had to find an old doctor. In the end, she recuperated in Hexi County for half a month."

Now Bai Zhaozhao has confirmed it. No wonder the plot is making trouble again. It turns out he was waiting here. It seems that the plot has been advanced. This Lord Zheng actually has a chance to appear!

In the inn.

A servant was reporting to Lord Zheng: "This girl is the sister of this year's top scholar Bai Lin. The Bai family is a big family in Hexi County. The Bai County Magistrate we met before is this girl's uncle. The Bai family has a rule that no girl can be a concubine."

Lord Zheng frowned, "She's got some background? Not a concubine... Jie Yuan's sister, that's fine too!"

On this day, Bai Shikang, who had just got off work, was called over by Prefect Zhong. The two chatted for a while, and then Bai Shikang hurried back to the mansion.

He rushed directly to Showa Garden, saw Bai Shihong admiring Bai Zhaozhao's sword dance, and said anxiously: "Quick, quick, stop, I have something important to do."

Bai Shihong was surprised and said, "What's going on? Tell me if you have anything to say. Don't scare my Zhao Zhao."

Bai Shikang rolled his eyes: "The prefect told me that Lord Zheng has taken a fancy to our Zhao Zhao!"

"How did the prefect know this?" Bai Zhaozhao asked with a serious face.

Bai Shikang quickly asked, "What happened? Has Lord Zheng seen you?"

So Bai Zhaozhao told the story of Lord Zheng scaring his horse on the street.

Bai Shihong asked, "You are so anxious, I guess it would be hard for Mr. Zheng to refuse, right?"

"That's right!" Bai Shikang said, "He asked the prefect directly about Bai Lin's situation, and said that he had seen Zhao Zhao, and that his wife was bitten by a snake last month and has now died.

But he didn't make it clear, and Lord Zhong didn't want to warn him, only saying that he valued the Bai family very much. Then he told me about this matter and told me to be more vigilant. Lord Zheng has a backer, and he won't care about the prefect because he is a political enemy. "
