Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Inside the room, Bai Yi was already fast asleep.

Her fair face was flushed, and her small mouth was slightly open, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Only in dreams could she escape the heavy gravity of reality.

Fang Zheng Yi had already arrived in her room.

He still needed to communicate with Bai Yi beforehand.

Qian Desheng was a sly old fox; it would take some effort to squeeze him dry. Even if he agreed to my conditions, the old bastard would definitely hide something!

If this guy has capital, who knows when he might get mischievous ideas again?

However, seeing how much he values Bai Yi, I might be able to squeeze out more by using her!

He moved a small stool and squatted beside her, waving his hand in front of her eyes a few times.

Seeing that she didn't react at all, he began to carefully examine her from head to toe.

Although it had only been a day since she left the Fang residence, the clothes she was wearing had been completely changed.

Fang Zheng Yi followed her snowy white neck down... it was hemp rope!

However, the person who bound her was extremely lewd. Although the hemp rope was tied very tightly, only her upper body revealed a towering expanse.

Such crude binding skills! Simply too rough!

In Fang Zheng Yi's mind, those white, pink, and green things appeared as if by some ghostly command...

Suddenly, Bai Yi's orchid-like breath landed on Fang Zheng Yi's face, making him itch with desire.

Snapping back to his senses, he quickly leaned close to Bai Yi's ear and whispered, "Wake up... the Great Qian has fallen..."

"The Great Qian has fallen...."

"The Great Qian has fallen......"

The devil's whispers reached Bai Yi's ears one after another.

As if her sweet dream had been shattered, her eyebrows began to furrow deeply in her sleep! Then, she suddenly opened her eyes and let out a cry of alarm!

"No!"

Fang Zheng Yi immediately straightened up and sat upright, adopting the appearance of a virtuous gentleman.

Only then did Bai Yi come back to her senses, her eyes filled with tears as she stared blankly at him, muttering, "Young Master... you..."

Fang Zheng Yi smiled and said, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"With Young Master here, there's no need to be afraid!"

Bai Yi's expression froze, and her brain short-circuited.

What's going on? Why is he being so nice to me?

Xiao Tao clearly tied me up.

The four little eunuchs were also brought back. What exactly is going on?

Could it be that he still doesn't know my current situation?

Bai Yi hesitated and murmured, "Thank you, Young Master."

"You're welcome. I won't say much more. Tell me what's going on yourself!"

Confess?

Bai Yi's heart trembled. Clinging to a sliver of hope, she asked, "Young Master, what are you saying? I don't understand!"

Fang Zheng Yi smiled, took out a dagger from his chest, stretched it out in front of Bai Yi, and slowly said, "Who gave you the guts to steal my dagger?"

Seeing the dagger, a trace of panic flashed in Bai Yi's eyes.

"That's... my dagger! I bought it on the street!"

Heh heh, she doesn't even know how to lie. As expected, she's far inferior to Qian Desheng.

"You say it's yours, so it's yours? Will it answer you if you call it?"

Hearing such rogue words, Bai Yi secretly gritted her silver teeth: "My surname is engraved under the guard!"

Fang Zheng Yi flipped the dagger over and looked at the position of the handguard. There was indeed a small character for 'Bai'!

"Why did you engrave your surname on my dagger?"

Bai Yi stared blankly at Fang Zheng Yi for a long time, not knowing what to say. She didn't expect him to say such shameless words!

"You are Xiao Tao's maid. Since you are a maid's maid, where did you get private property?"

"Everything you have, from top to bottom, inside and out, belongs to me, Young Master. Now you're actually saying this dagger is yours?!"

"Today you dare to steal things from home. I don't even dare to imagine what you'll do tomorrow! What are you stealing a dagger for? To assassinate the Emperor?" Fang Zheng Yi began to press aggressively.

First, break her down psychologically! Otherwise, if she stays by my side in the future, she will inevitably still harbor thoughts of revenge!

Bai Yi turned her head to the side, silent and afraid to speak.

Fang Zheng Yi got up and walked to the bed, looking down.

Bai Yi only felt that she was covered by a shadow, and she became even more nervous.

Her head quietly arched downwards with force.

"You stole the dagger. Leaving aside the facts, this matter is indeed not big!"

"But do you think I don't know what you want to do after that?" Fang Zheng Yi lowered his head and looked at Bai Yi.

Bai Yi swallowed hard, and said in a muffled voice: "I didn't want to do anything, and the dagger is mine."

Fang Zheng Yi sighed a long sigh. "Okay, let's not mention this matter for now!"

"I ask you, who spared no expense and spent a fortune to save your life in the first place?"

"It was you..." Bai Yi trembled as she replied softly.

"Then who adopted you when you had nowhere to go! Gave you a skill, and even gave you money to spend every month!"

"It was... you..."

"In the Fang family, you eat and drink every day in different ways, you have new clothes to change every month, and you also have three or two taels of pocket money. Aren't you happy? Or am I not good enough to you?" Fang Zheng Yi's voice sounded a little frustrated.

Bai Yi was already in a state of confusion, and all kinds of past memories kept flashing in her mind.

In addition to nervousness, discomfort, and a sense of shame from some inexplicable betrayal, she could no longer think normally.

Tears began to accumulate in her eyes again, and she sobbed and replied: "Young Master is good to me... I... am happy..."

Fang Zheng Yi nodded in satisfaction, then sat on the edge of the bed, slammed the bed frame hard, and said sternly: "Then why did you want to assassinate the Emperor!"

"Do you know what the consequences are? Once the incident happens, the whole family will be executed, and heads will fall to the ground!"

Bai Yi's whole body trembled uncontrollably, and large tears dripped down. Her bound body curled up with force.

"Who in the Fang family has done you wrong?! Are you worthy of us!!"

Bai Yi bit the bed sheet tightly, just shedding tears without saying a word.

Fang Zheng Yi was a little helpless when he saw this. Not speaking was not a good thing, there were still a few points short!

Then a large hand stretched out to Bai Yi's head, constantly stroking her beautiful hair.

Fang Zheng Yi's voice softened a little.

"Xiao Bai, do you think I really don't know you're a Qian citizen?"

"Let me tell you, I knew it not long after you were in the Fang family, and Xiao Tao also knew."

"It doesn't matter that you lied to me, because we are people who value relationships. No one wants to mention this matter, just because they are afraid that you will be sad and think of your homeland."

"You originally had a chance to start a new life, why didn't you cherish it?!"

What? He knew it a long time ago?

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi widened her eyes, opened her mouth, and slowly looked at Fang Zheng Yi.

Tears still remained in her beautiful eyes, and she sniffed twice in disbelief...

She saw that Fang Zheng Yi's eyes were full of tenderness, and his hand was still stroking her hair.

"You thought you were hiding it perfectly?"

"Young Master, I know much more news in the court than you! How many spies in the capital are constantly searching for the remnants of Qian, and why have you been able to live peacefully and happily in the Fang family for a year, have you ever thought about it?"

"In this world... there is no such thing as tranquility, it's just that I am carrying the burden for you!"
