Just when Cai Yan was communicating with Cai Zhenji.

On the other side, Dong Bai, accompanied by two attendants, went to the city’s vegetable market to buy vegetables.

Although now as Lord Chu’s woman, she no longer needs to do such things herself.

But before the master officially gave her a status, she thought she was just a maid, a servant who took care of her man and other sisters.

Moreover, the sisters have a bit of a picky appetite, so she has to personally purchase some high-quality dishes to make them happy.

Soon, Dong Bai arrived at the shop where he often bought game.

The owner of this shop goes out hunting almost every day, so the prey he brings back is quite fresh.

Just as she entered the shop, a familiar figure appeared in the butcher shop.

The man wore a round hat, was thin, and dressed in cloth, but he had a scholarly temperament that was out of place in a butcher shop.

Although they had not seen each other for many years, Dong Bai still recognized the other person.

He was one of her grandfather’s few good friends and also the son of her grandfather’s political enemy, Huangfu Song’s son—Huangfu Jianshou!
Although her grandfather did not get along with Huangfu Song in the past, he had fought in the war with Huangfu Song after all. It was at that time that he became acquainted with Huangfu Song’s son.

His grandfather was in power at that time. If Huangfu Jianshou had not pleaded for his father, Huangfu Song would probably be dead now.

Later, Huangfu Jianshou naturally followed his father and continued to serve the court.

But Dong Bai didn’t expect to see this person in her man’s territory…

The moment she saw the other person, the memory of her grandfather came to her mind involuntarily.

At this time, Huangfu Jianshou suddenly asked:
“Miss Dong, are you here to buy meat again? My boss has some excellent rabbit meat. Would you like to go with me to the backyard to take a look?”

Hearing the hint in Huangfu Jianshou’s words, Dong Bai was silent for a moment, then turned back and said to the two guards behind him:

“You wait here, I will go in with him and take a look.”

The two guards looked at each other and responded respectfully.

Arriving in the backyard, Huangfu Jianshou looked around to see if there was anyone around, and saluted Dong Bai solemnly:

“I didn’t expect that after not seeing you for so many years, Miss Dong is still as smart as she was back then.”

Dong Bai looked at the other party indifferently:

“Uncle Huangfu came here secretly, I guess he has something to do.”

Huangfu Jianshou smiled happily and said:
“There is indeed something to find a girl.

“I just didn’t expect that Miss Dong is now working for the enemy who killed her loved ones.

“I even heard that you have become Lu Bu’s woman.

“Tsk tsk, if Zhong Ying knew in the afterlife that his granddaughter had devoted herself to avenging her grandfather’s murder, what would he think?”

After hearing what Huangfu Jianshou said, Dong Bai’s face suddenly turned ugly.

She had already let it go.

But now, facing Huangfu Jianshou’s straightforward accusations, a feeling of guilt towards his grandfather suddenly surged in his heart.

But even so, she still argued:

“I know that what I am doing now is indeed inappropriate, but it is also an indisputable fact that my grandfather caused chaos in the court.

“In fact, I once lurked beside Lu Bu just to avenge my grandfather.

“However, after spending a long time with him, I found that Lord Lu is a wise ruler rarely seen in the world!

“I was inspired by him and worked in his house to atone for the sins my grandfather had committed.

“Grandpa loved me the most when he was alive. Even if I go to meet him in the future, I will still explain the reason to him!”

Seeing Dong Bai’s firm answer, Huangfu Jianshou was obviously a little surprised.

I thought I could rekindle this woman’s hatred towards Lu Bu and let her continue to assassinate Lu Bu.

However, it seems that it is already a bit difficult. After a moment of silence, Huangfu Jianshou said calmly:

“In that case, I won’t give you any more advice.

“I hope your grandfather knows about this and can forgive you, young lady.

“By the way, we do have some fresh rabbit meat here, would you like some?”

Dong Bai looked at the rabbit meat hanging on the rack, was silent for a moment, and shook his head slightly:

“No more.”

After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.

Huangfu Jianshou looked at the other person’s departing back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then deliberately said loudly:
“Miss Dong, don’t forget what you promised me just now!”

Dong Bai paused, turned around and looked at the other person with a puzzled look.

The two guards in the butcher shop also heard the sound and immediately looked at each other vigilantly.

They were all Lu Bu’s trusted warriors personally selected and were very loyal to him.

Hearing these suspicious words at this moment, I can’t help but think of some bad things!

But they didn’t show it. After seeing Dong Bai coming out empty-handed, they immediately asked:
“Miss, didn’t you pick out the rabbit meat you liked?”

Dong Bai looked at the two of them and shook his head with a complicated expression:

“No, I suddenly feel a little unwell, let’s go back to the palace…”

After hearing this, the two became more suspicious, but still did not ask any more questions, just nodded silently.

However, after sending Dong Bai back to the palace, the two immediately split up into two groups.

One of them led a hundred soldiers back to the butcher shop, while the other rode at full speed to Hongnong County where Lu Bu was to deliver the message.

But when the group rushed back to the butcher’s shop, they found that the man had disappeared.

He immediately searched the entire butcher shop, but found several poisoned bodies in the kitchen…

The guards immediately realized that something was wrong and sent someone to deliver the news to Hongnong again, while at the same time placing the entire palace and Wancheng under martial law!

At the same time, in Hao Meng’s mansion.

After ten months of pregnancy, Diao Chan finally gave birth to a daughter for Hao Meng and named her Lingju.

After accompanying Diao Chan through her confinement period, Hao Meng hurried back to the front line.

So now Diao Chan is recuperating at home alone with her daughter.

Looking at her daughter who was breastfeeding in her arms, Diao Chan’s beautiful face showed a hint of sadness.

Lingju was the name she had thought of long ago.

She even added another surname before this one.

However, she and that man were not destined to be together after all.

To this day, she still doesn’t understand how the guy who was easily fooled by the schemes of sowing discord and seducing women later saw through her and Lord Wang’s intentions.

He was even able to resist the temptation of this most beautiful woman in the world and gave her to his subordinates without hesitation…

With such perseverance and determination, it’s no wonder that he can occupy half of the world today!

Today, she has become accustomed to her current life.

Perhaps living with Hao Meng for the rest of her life is her final destination…

Just as she couldn’t help sighing, the maid’s voice rang out from outside the door:
“Madam, there is an old man who is dressed simply but has an extraordinary demeanor and wants to see you.

“He said his last name was Wang.” (End of this chapter)
