“Don’t act rashly.” His eyes, that were as deep as the sea, sparkled with tenacity and wisdom. “Even though it has been three years since I’ve arrived in Fengbo City, their spies have never been completely retracted. We can only endure.”

“But we can’t keep looking on helplessly as we see our lord being insulted!” Heimu furrowed his brows. “We can secretly dispose of that prince and no one would discover it!”

“I am a crippled prince who is bullied by everyone in Fengbo City. Even if Xuan Yuanhuan is dead, the next one would appear. It is meaningless and it would arouse suspicion instead,” Di Beichen said coldly. His line of sight landed on his legs and said, “There’s still no news from the Fengshen Physician?”

Heimu’s eyes slightly sank and shook his head. “Not yet.”

If it were not because their lord was suddenly unable to walk and had his cultivation suppressed, then there was no need for them to submit to humiliation!

There would be a day where they would return everything back to their enemies!

Di Beichen’s expression was as per normal. Even if his subordinates felt injustice on his behalf, he still remained calm and his maturity was far beyond his age.

…

The next day, an interesting story spread around the Imperial City

Zhang Ping and Song Ji, the Crown Prince’s lackeys, seemed to have gone crazy. How did they have the courage to write about Lord Jing and the Crown Prince’s buttocks?!

Lord Jing’s buttocks are very white!

His Highness’s buttocks are even whiter!

These two sentences became a joke among the masses and there were even some who laughed because of what they had witnessed that day. All of them knew that Lord Jing’s buttocks were white as they had witnessed it several days ago. However, how did they know that the Prince’s buttocks were even whiter?

Upon deeper thought, the word homosexuality coincidentally surfaced in everyone’s mind. It was no wonder the Prince always brought Zhang Ping and Song Ji alongside him.

After this incident spread around, the Prince and Lord Jing stayed within their residences without coming out. Their actions of avoiding the crowds, confirmed the masses’ assumptions and all of them laughed at the two men.

Xuan Yuanhuan and Xuan Yuanjing did not have a good reputation. It was no wonder that after they were turned into such a huge joke, the masses continued smearing their names in hopes that these two would obediently stay cooped up inside their residences, so they didn’t cause more trouble!

Baili Hongzhuang left the General’s Estate early in the morning. Ever since her maid Bi Qing was hit to death by a cane, there hadn’t been any arrangements for other maids to wait upon her.

This had saved her tons of trouble and no one cared about her life or death. No one would discover that she left the General Estate.

She first visited the pawnshop and sold all her jewelry and managed to exchange them for thousands of gold coins. However, she informed the pawnbroker to keep her belongings for the time being, as she would redeem them soon.

After all, most of it was her mother’s jewelry and they could not be randomly sold.

There were quite a number of items to prepare in order to open a clinic and the most important aspect was to choose a suitable location.

“As for the location of the clinic…” Baili Hongzhuang muttered to herself. She did not have a clear understanding of the market around the Imperial City and she had to find a knowledgeable person to help. “The shopkeeper of Wan Yao Fang is a good candidate!”

Medicine shops would often deal with clinics and she believed Ji Wenbin should know some good locations.

As a family head in her past life, she had seen no lack of people. Even though Ji Wenbin was a businessman, he had a good heart and was not a profiteer. If she asked him for help, she believed he would agree.

Sure enough, after Baili Hongzhuang put forward the idea, Ji Wenbin agreed without hesitation.
