The Prodigiously Amazing Weaponsmith [Translated Novel]

Chapter 222: Escaping the Catastrophe

Huang Yueli bit her lips and spoke in a soft voice. "Second brother, I..."

Bai Ruoqi looked at her pale face and assumed that she had frightened him. He couldn't help but feel proud.

“Hehe, as I said before, I don't do those things! And you want to splash dirty water on me? What are you going to do now? Regretted? Let me tell you, it's too late!”

Believing that Huang Yueli was at the end of the rope, Bai Ruoqi regained her initiative. Continuing to speak, he hoped to defeat him in this momentum!

“Framing his cousin and doing many secret things! Get down on your knees and apologize to the Empress Dowager. Only then would I consider opening the net from the side, to let the horse escape! How about that? Quickly do!”

Huang Yueli maintained her calm expression.

He sighed deeply and softly said, “Second brother, I have no proof. Even if there's evidence, I won't take him out. Today's incident, whether done by you or not, it doesn't matter. I don't want to pursue whose fault it is. If you insist it is because of your sister's malicious intentions, then I...”.

The more he spoke, the softer his voice became nothing more than choking.

Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager immediately felt extremely uncomfortable.

Look how sad this girl is. From young until now, he had no father or mother, alone in Manor while also being bullied by his Uncle and cousin!

Now that her second sister had a climber on her head, with various reasons to slander her and throw dirty water at her, she continued to be so pure and kind. Not wanting to account for anything, just wanting to rest the problem.

Instead, Bai Ruoqi had been identified but was reluctant to forget about the matter and continue to quibble.

The two young ladies of the Bai Family, yet there was such a gap!

Taking Huang Yueli's hand, the Empress Dowager patted her gently and said, “Girl Li, Ai Jia understands your intentions, but this country has its own laws. If there is indeed a crime, a proper investigation must be carried out!”

After all, Bai Ruoqi was still a child that he had seen growing up. Furthermore, he had once appreciated this girl.

The Empress Dowager always had a good heart. So when the time approached to handle things appropriately, he could not bear the slightest bit.

Bai Ruoqi felt like spewing blood!

Every time he thought he had won, would win, a few words from Huang Yueli had changed the hanging position of the cliff!

Time and time again, he can't go back!

Is this damned girl his nemesis?

Why can't he kill her? Instead he suffered?

Now, he was once again defeated by this damned girl. Was today the day where his reputation really swept the ground?

With gritted teeth, Bai Ruoqi desperately thought about it.

No matter what was said, he was only a step away from the position of the Crown Prince Consort. She really should be cursed by the Empress Dowager today!

As long as it's not today...

Perhaps Bai Ruoqi's mind was too powerful, or perhaps something he didn't deserve.

Not knowing what to do, Aunt Li suddenly spoke from a corner.

She whispered into the Empress Dowager's ear, she said a few words.

“Widow Empress, Eunuch Qin has just come to report that the banquet at the Palace of Peace and Tranquility is ready. The Emperor and the Empress were waiting at the Palace. They asked you and the ladies to..”.

"What's? Its time? How does time go so fast?” The Empress Dowager asked in surprise.

“It's been past two quarters. Seeing no movement from you, the Emperor sent someone to ask."
