Huo Chanyi had been in a daze ever since Bai Ze had carried her all the way here.
Until those maidservants knelt in front of her and cried for her forgiveness.
Huo Chanyi looked at them, but she didn’t know what to say.
The current situation was different from what she had expected.
She had only gone to see General Bai Ze to bid farewell. How did it turn out that General Bai Ze had brought her back to punish these maidservants for her?
Also, what did General Bai Ze mean by that?
Protect her?
Would he protect her?
Huo Chanyi felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and a lump formed in her throat.
Bai Ze thought that she was frightened and quickly restrained his hostility. He had been on the battlefield before, so when he was angry, the vicious aura on his body would inevitably appear. It was a little terrifying.
And this little girl was very timid and easily frightened.
“Are you going to forgive them?”
Bai Ze narrowed his eyes and tried his best to make his voice sound gentle.
Huo Chanyi’s petite body trembled slightly when he called her name; it was as if she was frightened by him again.
“l… they…”
Bai Ze held his temples and tilted his head. His dark eyes swept over her, and he couldn’t help but laugh softly. “Huo Chanyi, are you a rabbit? You’re so timid, anyone can bully you.”
One had to know that when his sister was as old as this young lady, she could do whatever she wanted in the entire five nations.
The Bai family was famous in the entire five nations for being protective.
This little girl could still be bullied under his nose. Bai Ze felt that he could not escape responsibility.
Therefore, he had to teach this little girl how to not be bullied. Otherwise, she would be at a disadvantage when she traveled across the five countries in the future.
Huo Chanyi’s face reddened and her eyes widened. “1 1 m not a rabbit, I’m a tiger!’
Bai Ze was overjoyed. His black eyes overflowed with a smile. “You? A tiger? I think there must be a mistake. You are the kind of rabbit that has just opened its eyes and is not even a month old. Your claws haven’t even grown properly.”
Huo Chanyi’s face turned even redder when she was teased. Coupled with her reddened eyes from crying, she really did look like a little rabbit.
Bai Ze’s eyes darkened as he hid the smile in his eyes. He asked coldly, “Even a rabbit will bite when it’s desperate. What about you, Huo Chanyi? Are you going to bite back at these people who bullied you?”
Huo Chanyi bit her lip as she looked at the maids who had said that they were sorry for slapping her, but she couldn’t hear them at all. A trace of tenacity flashed across her eyes.
Clenching her fists, she stood up and said to them, “It’s true that I’m an orphan girl, but this is not a reason for you to speak ill of me behind my back. I didn’t seduce a man, nor did I have an ambiguous relationship with anyone. You’ve ruined my reputation behind my back more than once. Now, you’re not really repenting. I have to teach you a lesson.”
She wanted to prove to General Bai Ze that she was not a rabbit.
Huo Chanyi took out a small porcelain bottle from her storage ring. After opening it, she raised her arm and gently waved it. The red powder in the porcelain bottle scattered toward the maidservants.
“This is the lamia. After being poisoned, you will feel as if your body is
entangled by a snake. The pain is unbearable. If you really regret it in three days, come to me to get the antidote.”
Bai Ze l s thin lips twitched. This little girl was kind-hearted after all.
Forget it. Since these maidservants had been punished, this matter was over..
