The Rising Phoenix-Chapter 609: A Doting Father

"Uncle, what should I do? I offend him." The young man asked in a panic.

"Since he ignores this incident, General Bai does not care about that. I heard he is straightforward person. If he does not like it, he will say it right away. Don’t worry. If we have a chance later, I will bring you to meet him and let you apologize again." The middle aged man said.

"By the way, is the girl beside him his daughter?" The young man changed the topic.

"Don’t show any interest to his daughter in front of General Bai." The middle aged man spoke.

"Eh, why?" The young man asked.

"Because General Bai would flip up when he knows you want to court his daughter." The middle-aged man said.

The young man was dumbfounded for a moment before spoke up. "Hahaha... You are joking right?"

The middle-aged still looked serious. The young man became more dumbfounded.

The middle-aged man was not lying though. One incident happened in the past. Another general, Zou Weiyuan was talking to Bai Xiang about some matter. At some point, Zou Weiyuan talked about his son to Bai Xiang. It was almost like Zou Weiyuan was promoting his son to Bai Xiang. Well... Bai Xiang just nodded and acknowledged it.

Later, Zou Weiyuan hinted that his son would be suitable for Bai Xiang’s daughter. If not because of the engagement with the third prince, he would like his son and Bai Xiang’s daughter to be betrothed. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Hearing this, Bai Xiang flipped out. Bai Xiang told straight to Zou Weiyuan’s face that his son was not worth her son. His son often visited a brothel. Who knew how many illegitimate children he already had right now? Not to mention, his son was caught sneaking into the courtesan’s room. He was kicked out after that.

How dare Zou Weiyuan promote his son, wanting him to get betrothed with Bai Xiang’s daughter? Bai Xiang did not hold back.

This incident happened after the morning meeting with the emperor. So, a lot of ministers were still there. They heard the conversation. Zou Weiyuan felt embarrassed about that. He thought no one knew about this incident at the brothel. He paid people to keep their silence. He did not know that Bai Xiang found out about that. And now, he announced it in front of everyone. He could see people staring at him.

He did not bother to talk anymore and walked away. The next day, he did not come to the morning meeting.

Well, this incident was not enough to spread the rumour about Bai Xiang. The next incident occurred at the same time as the previous one. Another minister, Chen Xiaosheng came and talked with Bai Xiang. Of course, it was just a small talk. Then, Chen Xiaosheng started to ask about Bai Xifeng. He asked about Bai Xifeng’s whereabouts since they had not seen Bai Xifeng for a long time.

Bai Xiang just told him that Bai Xifeng was in a seclusion. No one knew that Bai Xifeng was not in the Capital City.

Then, Chen Xiaosheng asked Bai Xiang if he was willing to let Bai Xifeng married to the third prince. Even though the third prince was from the royal family, he was a fool. He thought Bai Xiang should not sacrifice his daughter to get married into a royal family. With a husband like that, Bai Xifeng would live a miserable life. Then, he slowly promoted his son to Bai Xiang.

Bai Xiang chuckled. He looked at Chen Xiaosheng. He pointed out Chen Xiaosheng’s son’s habit of gambling. He told Chen Xiaosheng that he was curious about how much money the Chen Family had to be able to let his son go gambling every day.

Hearing this, Chen Xiaosheng’s face turned pale. He did not wait anymore and left the place. Everyone looked at each other. Another one down.

After that, it had been rumour that Bai Xiang knew everything about the young master of the many families. If you wanted to promote your son in front of Bai Xiang, you could be brave yourself to face criticism from Bai Xiang.

It was not like Bai Xiang knew anything about Bai Chao. But Bai Chao often talked about the families in the capital city. Bai Chao was the expert on gathering information about the families in the Capital City. Bai Xiang never thought Bai Chao had this talent.

Well, Bai Xiang was glad that he knew about those pieces of information. The young master of these families in the Capital City was really not suitable for his precious daughter. That was the reason why Bai Xiang did not request to break off the engagement between his daughter and the third prince. The engagement could be used to block other pursers.

Bai Xiang, Bai Tingfeng and Bai Xifeng walked inside together. Then, one of the eunuchs bowed to Bai Xiang.

"Your Excellency, Lady Bai needs to go in that direction. All of the females gathered there before the real banquet began." The eunuch said respectfully.

"We need to wait?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Yes, Lady Bai." The eunuch nodded.

"Does that section have something to eat?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"Well... We do prepare some refreshments and tea." The eunuch stated.

"Fine... I will go there. Father, Brother, see you later." Bai Xifeng waved her hands to Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng before she followed another eunuch.
