What you hate I hate even more.

"That proves that Prince Chen cares a lot about Miss Baili. However, Miss Baili is so outstanding that I think any amount of bridal gifts would be worth it!"

The crowd nodded in agreement, thinking that both Xuan Yuanhuan and Baili Zhentao had lost their minds.

Such an excellent Baili Hongzhuang was rejected, but Li Yuyue and Baili Yuyan were accepted instead. Prince Chen was truly fortunate!

"But Prince Chen should have gone to the General's Mansion for the betrothal. Why did he do it here in Qin Zhuang Garden? What about the face of the General's Mansion?"

As soon as this was said, everyone was stunned. Indeed, Prince Chen's betrothal here seemed to directly ignore the General's Mansion.

"Haven't you seen that Baili Hongzhuang has already had a falling out with the General's Mansion? Maybe this is what Baili Hongzhuang wants!"

Everyone suddenly realized that the relationship between Baili Hongzhuang and the siblings Baili Hongzhuang and Baili Yuyan had been quite stiff at the Divine Doctor's Clinic.

If she returned to the General's Mansion, life would probably not be easy. That's why she chose to live outside the General's Mansion!

The servants busily carried the bridal gifts into the elegant garden, and a gentle smile appeared on Baili Hongzhuang's lips.

In that moment, she felt that everyone else's opinions no longer mattered. As long as she and Emperor Beichen understood each other's thoughts, it was enough.

"With such a grand betrothal like this, aren't you afraid of offending Baili Zhentao?" Baili Hongzhuang asked with a smile.

Emperor Beichen raised an eyebrow. "The reason why a son-in-law fears his father-in-law is because he's worried that the father-in-law won't give his daughter to him. Since you've already agreed to me, naturally, I'll be on the same side as my wife."

"You annoy me, and I'll annoy you even more!"

The corners of Baili Hongzhuang's mouth curved upwards. "I'm satisfied with these bridal gifts!"

"In seven days, it will be an auspicious day. I've already informed the Emperor, and we will marry on that day. What do you think?"

"Whatever suits you! But remember, our marriage is just a cover-up, not real," Baili Hongzhuang emphasized.

Emperor Beichen nodded indifferently. "I understand. If my wife is willing to pretend with me, I don't mind."

Baili Hongzhuang needed him to help resolve some troubles, and he also needed Baili Hongzhuang to help him deceive others. Their marriage was a win-win situation.

"I do mind!"

"Wife, if you say that, I'll be sad."

"Enough." Baili Hongzhuang glanced at him sideways and smiled lightly. "I'm in a good mood today. I invite you to a restaurant!"

"That's great! You're not lying to me, right?"

"Of course not!"

While Baili Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen happily enjoyed their meal at the restaurant, Baili Zhentao was about to explode with anger!

"This Emperor Beichen is too much! He completely disregards me!"

Baili Zhentao slammed his teacup hard on the ground. The Imperial City was neither big nor small, and the news of Baili Hongzhuang's marriage to Emperor Beichen was so conspicuous.

With this incident today, everyone knew about it, and Li Chengqian took the opportunity to mock him. Now, he had become the laughingstock of the entire Imperial City!

"Father, this must be Baili Hongzhuang instigating Prince Chen. Otherwise, Prince Chen has no reason to do this!"

Baili Yuyan's face turned pale, and Baili Hongzhuang's actions were becoming more and more excessive.

"Master, in my opinion, that Baili Hongzhuang girl is doing all this to retaliate against us. If we don't show some attitude, I'm afraid she'll become even more ruthless!"

Su Wanjing's eyes shimmered with resentment. She wished she could just kill that girl!

If it weren't for Baili Hongzhuang, Baili Haoxuan wouldn't have missed such a splendid stage like the Royal Hunting Competition!
