"That brat Ye actually raised his eyebrows when he looked at you," the empress dowager said in a low voice after Xuanyuan Ye and the others left. There was a hint of surprise in her voice, but there was also more excitement hidden within. As she pondered, it was unknown whether she was talking to herself or to Meng Fuying.

Ye'er had always been extremely calm and composed. No matter what happened, he would always remain calm. Even if the sky collapsed, he probably wouldn't even frown.

However, when Ye'er looked at Ying just now, he actually raised his eyebrows slightly. Although it was quick and light, she still saw it.

In Ye'er's eyes, he had never looked at a woman before. He had never liked women to get close to him. Even Meng Ruxue, who tried to please him in every way possible and was gentle in every way, had probably never exchanged a glance with him.

Not only did he look at Ying just now, he even raised his eyebrows. Haha… interesting.

Amongst so many princes, Ye'er was the most outstanding. In the future, he would definitely make the Xuanyuan Dynasty even stronger.

When she entered the palace at the age of 15, she was deeply loved by everyone. Unfortunately, she had never given birth to an imperial son for the late emperor. The late emperor then passed the princes of the other imperial concubines to her, the current empress.

She had always treated the emperor with respect and doted on his descendants, especially Xuanyuan Ye.

She watched Ye'er grow up. She knew him the best.

"En? What?" Towards the empress dowager's sudden words, Meng Fuying was a bit confused, looking at the empress dowager who seemed to be thinking about something with a bit of confusion.

"No, nothing." The empress dowager returned to her senses, quickly concealing all of her previous emotions, saying this repeatedly.

She paused for a moment before continuing, "Just now, you told Grandmother that you wanted to annul the engagement with Bai Yichen. Regarding this matter, Grandmother will discuss it with the Emperor. Bai Yichen is not satisfied with this engagement in the first place. This matter shouldn't be too difficult."

"Thank you, Imperial Grandmother." Meng Fuying was stunned for a moment before repeatedly thanking her. However, although the empress dowager had agreed to her wishes, why did she feel goosebumps in her heart, as if she had been schemed against?

She must be overthinking things. The empress dowager doted on her so much, how could she possibly scheme against her?

After exiting the Longevity Palace, Qing Zhu helped her onto the carriage. Although the carriage was a little bumpy, she felt quite comfortable. It was much better than modern transportation.

Because in the modern world, she was carsick, shipsick, and planesick. Every time she went out, she would feel terrible.

Just as she was enjoying this unique comfort, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Meng Fuying's eyes widened slightly as her expression changed slightly. She did not know what had happened. Did she bump into someone?

"What's going on?" Qing Zhu had already lifted the curtain and asked angrily, "Why did you suddenly stop…" However, she suddenly stopped mid-sentence and quickly turned inside. She whispered, "Master, it's Madam Bai."

"Madam Bai?" Meng Fuying frowned slightly. Clearly, she had not expected it to be Madam Bai.

"It's Young Master Bai's mother. She knelt in front of the carriage and stopped it," Qing Zhu explained.

Meng Fuying was alarmed. Madam Bai was kneeling in front of her carriage?

"Miss Meng, please let my Yu'er off. Yu'er is insensible. As her mother, I apologize to Miss Meng on her behalf. I only ask that Miss Meng spare my Yu'er." Outside the carriage, a heartbreaking cry suddenly sounded.

Meng Fuying's body suddenly froze. She had come for Bai Yiyu.

The Bai Family was the head of the Big Four Families, and her status in the capital was extremely prestigious. However, for the sake of Bai Yiyu, she knelt down in front of her carriage and begged her.

What kind of motherly love was this? As an orphan, she had never felt such a motherly love before.

At this moment, Meng Fuying felt somewhat guilty. She did not feel guilty in the face of any accusations, nor would she feel guilty in the face of any attacks. But in front of this great motherly love, she felt guilty.

She quickly lifted the curtain and jumped down.

"Miss Meng, I beg you, I beg you to let Yu'er off." When Madam Bai saw her coming down, her originally despairing eyes were now filled with hope.

She knew that Chen'er did not get the antidote when he went to Lord Hou's Estate yesterday. If even Chen'er could not get it, she had no idea how else she could get the antidote.

However, when she saw Yu'er crying her heart out, her heart broke. She could only do this as a last resort.

"Madam Bai, please rise." Meng Fuying walked forward and wanted to help her up, but she stubbornly refused to get up. She only repeatedly pleaded for Meng Fuying to let Bai Yiyu off.

Meng Fuying felt a little sour in her heart and said softly, "The effects of the medicine will pass in a few days. When that time comes, she will naturally return to her original state. Fu'er has gone too far. Madam Bai, please rise."

Madam Bai was slightly taken aback and seemed to have some doubts. However, when she saw the gentle and obedient Meng Fuying, she believed her and stood up with her help.

"Thank you, Miss Meng." Madam Bai thanked her sincerely. It seemed like she only wanted to scare Yu'er. In the past, Yu'er often bullied her, so it was not overboard for her to do so.

"It's Fu'er's good fortune that Madam doesn't blame Fu'er," said Meng Fuying with a smile. At first glance, she knew that this was a good mother. She really envied Bai Yiyu for having such a good mother.

Upon seeing Meng Fuying's present state, Madam Bai felt even more astonished. She had not expected that she would not be foolish and become so obedient.

Her actions and words were natural and proper.

Although she was still a little ugly, this was not bad. Her marriage with Chen'er was given by the emperor, and they were going to get married sooner or later. Why not choose a date and settle their matter?

Looking at the current Meng Fuying, Madam Bai secretly made up her mind.

After Madam Bai returned to the Bai Residence, she discussed with Old Master Bai and called Bai Yichen over.

"Chen'er, your father and I have discussed the matter between you and Miss Meng. We want to choose a date for the two of you to get married. Miss Meng is fine now, and…" As soon as Bai Yichen entered, she went straight to the point. Although she knew that her son had never liked Miss Meng, this matter could not be changed. She also knew that Bai Yichen had written a marriage annulment letter the day before yesterday. If it was not handled properly, their entire family might lose their lives.

Fortunately, because Miss Meng had fainted at that time, the marriage annulment letter was not taken away.

Now, Miss Meng wasn't stupid. Although she still looked a little unsatisfactory, she was much better than before.

"Mm." Bai Yichen's eyes flickered slightly before he answered in a low voice.

This time, it was Madam Bai who was stunned. She had prepared a lot of words to convince her son, but she did not expect that her son would agree right away.
