OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess

Bai Zhi’er suddenly sat up straight from his arms, her watery eyes fixed on him.

Feng Fuce raised an eyebrow: "What’s the matter?"

Bai Zhi’er playfully and slyly said, "Brother Fu Ce, are you a corrupt official? How come you have mansions everywhere?"

The mansion in the Capital is already so big, and you’re still buying one in Yuzhou!

Feng Fuce heard this and smiled.

"The Emperor gave them. He wants to grant me titles, but I have no more room for advancement, so every time I complete one of his requests, he gifts me mansions and jewels."

"I didn’t think it was important, so I never mentioned it to you, but if you want to know, I can list the mansions I remember."

"Apart from the Capital and Yuzhou, there are ones in Bianzhou, Huizhou, Liangzhou, and Chongzhou. There should be quite a few elsewhere too, but I can’t remember them all, I’d have to ask the housekeeper."

Bai Zhi’er was left in awe.

"You’re almost catching up to my number! Every year on my birthday, my fourth brother buys me a mansion from outside. He only wants the ones with good feng shui, not the bad ones."

So, up until now, Bai Zhi’er also had sixteen mansions scattered across Great Chu.

Feng Fuce lightly chuckled: "I hardly match up to you."

At the beginning, Bai Xilie likely didn’t expect Feng Fuce to be so reckless.

Those tasks unattainable for others, given to Feng Fuce, he could always complete and excel at them.

Feng Fuce’s style of doing things was ruthlessly efficient.

This somewhat aligned with Bai Xilie’s perspective.

Bai Zhi’er was just talking to him when the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Marquis, outside there’s a woman holding a child blocking the road," said the driver, Lei Hu, as he turned back and spoke softly inside the carriage.

Bai Zhi’er was startled and lifted the curtain to look outside.

Amidst the downpour, there was a frail woman holding a swaddled infant.

She choked and called out, "Kind people, my family and I were on the mountain worshiping Buddha, got lost and separated. Please help me get to the city. The child is too young to be in the rain. I am willing to reward you generously."

Bai Zhi’er said nothing, merely looked at the woman suspiciously.

The distance wasn’t far, so her appearance was clearly visible.

She was very gracefully pretty, with the gentle charm of a Jiangnan woman.

Probably due to anxiety and worry, her eyes were full of fretfulness.

In fact, there seemed to be no problem, but Bai Zhi’er’s intuition told her not to help this woman.

She hesitated to speak, but Feng Fuce, after a moment of contemplation, coldly said, "Can’t help, let her find someone else. Lei Hu, move on."

"Yes." Lei Hu responded from outside.

He also truthfully informed the woman: "Our master cannot help you, sorry."

After saying that, Lei Hu cracked the whip and drove the carriage forward.

When the carriage was far away, Bai Zhi’er couldn’t help but lift the curtain and look back.

The woman holding the child was still standing in the pouring rain, her figure seemed somewhat helpless, seemingly waiting for the next kind soul who could help her.

Bai Zhi’er put down the curtain: "Why was Brother Fu Ce so sure not to help her? Did you notice anything strange about her?"

Feng Fuce exhaled deeply: "Is this rain heavy?"

"Yes."

"The infant in her arms is only three or four months old, so why hasn’t it been disturbed in such chaos, nor has it cried even once?"

Bai Zhi’er felt suddenly enlightened.

"Yes! Her baby hasn’t even opened its eyes. How strange!"

The aura surrounding that woman also made Bai Zhi’er uncomfortable.

Though not a demon, sometimes humans with impure intentions, being extremely wicked, also exude such an aura.
