Chapter 147 Overt ridicule and implicit sarcasm
The previous housekeeper Jia Fang was also on the list, so he was beaten and demoted by the King of War.
The new housekeeper was promoted from a backyard servant and had never seen any big scenes, so he felt a lot of pressure facing the aggressive Pei family.
Fortunately, not long after, Bai Wushuang arrived with several slaves.
"Hey, Pei Fulang, why are you so angry?"
Before Li Yunzhen opened his mouth, Li Yunxiao beside him suddenly had a way to vent his irritable emotions.
He looked at Bai Wushuang with sarcasm in his eyes and snorted coldly.
"Humph, Bai Liangshi is so arrogant. You made my uncle wait for you for so long. If you don't know, you might think you did it on purpose."
Jade's eyes glared: "How dare you speak to the master like that."
Li Yunxiao was not afraid at all, and said disdainfully: "Humph, Bai Liangshi is no longer a war lord, so stop pretending to be a lord in front of us."
Jade: "You!"
Bai Wushuang glanced at Li Yunxiao coldly and said slowly.
"Mr. Pei, why don't you teach your niece a lesson for being so outspoken? I don't care. If she offends you, you might lose your head."
"Bah, what did you say!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunxiao immediately stood up and stared at Bai Wushuang with angry eyes.
Li Yunzhen glanced at her: "Xiao'er~"
Li Yunxiao respected his uncle very much, so he stopped talking obediently, but there was still dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Bai Wushuang.
Li Yunzhen shifted his gaze from Li Yunxiao to Bai Wushuang, with deep hatred suppressed in his eyes, and mocked in a contemptuous voice.
"My niece is better than a bunch of bad people who don't keep their promises and want to cancel the engagement."
Seeing that Bai Wushuang was about to get angry, Li Yunzhen sneered and continued.
"And if I remember correctly, Bai Liangshi's position as king has been abolished, right?"
"How dare Bai Liangshi call himself the Lord? If this gets to the emperor's ears, Bai Liangshi will be guilty of contempt for the emperor and disobeying his orders."
"You!" Bai Wushuang stared at Li Yunzhen, his face turning pale.
"There is no need for Bai Liangshi to be angry. After all, our two families are about to become in-laws. If Bai Liangshi says something wrong, I, as your in-law, must teach him a lesson. Otherwise, if His Majesty is annoyed, it will be bad for everyone, right?"
"Heh~"
When Bai Wushuang heard this, he suppressed his anger and smiled.
"I don't understand what Pei Fulang said."
Li Yunzhen paused and sneered, "Are you playing dumb with me, Bai Liangshi?"
Li Yunxiao, who was standing beside him, saw that Bai Wushuang didn't admit it, and slammed the table impatiently.
"Cut the nonsense!"
"Your son Ji Ze is engaged to my cousin. Hand Ji Ze over to me if you know what's best for you!"
Bai Wushuang pretended to be dumbfounded: "Miss Li, you are joking. Isn't Pei Yu already dead? What does it have to do with my son?"
"Besides, Pei Yu is already dead, how can he marry a living person? Wouldn't it be a joke if it got out?"
"I guess the Pei family doesn't want to have a bad reputation for being unscrupulous, right?"
Li Yunzhen shot a sharp gaze at Bai Wushuang: "Are you threatening me?"
Bai Wushuang smiled and said, "No, I am doing this for the good of the Pei family."
"Tsk, what a joke~"
Li Yunzhen sneered, "You did it for your own son, didn't you? You asked your original wife's son to marry in place of your own son, and you caused the evil star King Beichen to snatch the bride away, and you angered my son to death!"
The smile on Bai Wushuang's face froze, and he looked directly into Li Yunzhen's eyes, which were full of resentment and hatred like poisonous snakes, and his face turned pale.
"What is the reputation of your Zhan Wang Mansion?"
"Everyone in the capital knows that you, Bai Wushuang, have been harsh and abusive to your first wife's son. You have a daughter who is a spoiled, arrogant, and bully. Your son is also a vicious person. You broke off your marriage and wanted your brother to take your place."
