Chapter 263: The Fake Bai Feng

Lu Yunzhan nodded slightly and said, "You said that the Bai family's ancestor was a marquis. After several generations of title degradation, Bai Feng shouldn't be a viscount, or even have no title at all."

In this fantasy Great Zhou Dynasty, even if you are a duke, every generation, the inherited title will automatically drop by one level.

"You are right." Ceng Wan smiled, "Great Zhou's richest man, Shen Kangbo, Brother Lu, you should have heard of him, right?"

"Shen Kangbo?" Lu Yunzhan nodded and asked with some confusion, "But what does the Bai family's title have to do with Shen Kangbo? Why did Brother Ceng Wan suddenly mention him?"

Ceng Wan said mysteriously, "Ordinary people really don't know about this matter. Great Zhou's richest man, Shen Kangbo, Bai Feng, and His Majesty had a very good relationship when they were young."

"So after His Majesty ascended the throne, Bai Feng donated a large sum of gold and silver to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and His Majesty conferred the title of viscount on him because of this."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Lu Yunzhan suddenly realized.

Bai Feng was conferred a title by His Majesty again, so everything could be explained. He had just thought that it was impossible for only the Bai family to be special.

However, he didn't expect that Viscount Bai Feng had this layer of relationship with Great Zhou's richest man, Shen Kangbo, and His Majesty.

Ceng Wan showed an envious expression and said, "I heard that the reason why the Bai family is so prosperous today is because Bai Feng and Shen Kangbo have close contact. Of course, I dare not confirm whether this news is a rumor."

"But one thing I can be sure of is that if you become the Bai family's son-in-law, your future will definitely be smooth sailing."

Lu Yunzhan automatically ignored these and pursued, "I seemed to have heard you say before that Viscount Bai Feng only has this one daughter, Bai Yu?"

Ceng Wan affirmed, "Yes, just her one daughter. Viscount Bai Feng's first wife died in childbirth. After that, he didn't marry again. You don't need to worry about the viscount's side. In fact, most of the family business is managed by Bai Yu now."

"It's very rare to see Viscount Bai Feng handle things. It's generally handed over to Bai Yu. As long as she takes a fancy to you, the viscount won't object either."

"Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to let her hold this recruitment."

Lu Yunzhan nodded slightly. These were not the intelligence he wanted. He continued to pursue, "Then does the Bai family have any enemies with a big background?"

"Why suddenly ask this?" Ceng Wan asked with some confusion.

Lu Yunzhan shrugged and said, "Nothing, I might become the Bai family's son-in-law soon, so I want to understand some situations specifically."

Ceng Wan didn't doubt it and smiled, "Rest assured, there are rumors outside that the Bai family has a relationship with Great Zhou's richest man, Shen Kangbo, and His Majesty. No one will be blind enough to provoke the Bai family. Plus, Viscount Bai Feng is kind and has no enemies."

"As for the enemies with a big background you mentioned, that's even more impossible. Both sides have no conflict of interest. In this Beiya City area, the Bai family is the biggest famous and powerful family."

Lu Fang remained silent upon hearing this. This was somewhat different from his previous speculation. The Bai family sounded even more powerful than he had imagined.

It looked like there shouldn't be anyone threatening the Bai family.

But why did she transmit a plea for help?

Could it be that his judgment was wrong, and the Bai family young lady Bai Yu saw him politely refuse her, so she wanted to play a prank to tease him?

After sending Ceng Wan away, Lu Yunzhan was still thinking about this question. He intuitively believed that Bai Yu wouldn't deliberately tease him. Someone with such a high and proud background shouldn't be so narrow-minded.

And there was no need.

Just like people, who would care about an ant crawling on the ground.

Lu Yunzhan was a person with a very strong curiosity. Before figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, he wouldn't leave.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, at lunchtime.

Bai Yu actually followed behind the maid who delivered the food.

This was the first time he had seen her since yesterday. Today she looked a bit haggard, as if she hadn't slept well last night, and had some dark circles under her eyes.

A plain white dress made her less cold and added a bit of fragility.

"Six days later, we will get married. You seem to be from Jiangzhou, so it seems you won't be able to invite your relatives by then." Bai Yu sat opposite and said.

Lu Yunzhan responded in his mouth and calmly transmitted, "Miss Bai Yu, why did you transmit a plea for help yesterday?"

Bai Yu's body stiffened, but she quickly returned to normal. She stood up to help Lu Yunzhan open the lunch box and smiled, "You still look quite pitiful like this, making me can't help but want to care about you."

While saying inexplicable love words, the transmission was: "The situation is even worse than I imagined. I shouldn't have dragged you into this. When I leave later, I will let the guards relax their watch. You find an opportunity to leave here."

"Leave Beiya City and don't come back."

"You must remember, you must not talk nonsense. Those people might be observing everything in the dark."

Lu Yunzhan looked at Bai Yu with a full face of smiles and said, "Are you hungry?" After saying that, he directly picked up a chopstick of vegetables and made a gesture to feed Bai Yu. Although he sensed it, he didn't find anyone observing in the dark, but he still decided to listen to Bai Yu first and make a gesture.

Bai Yu blushed, gathered her courage, opened her mouth to eat the vegetables fed by Lu Yunzhan, and as if she were shy, lowered her head and sat back opposite, chewing in small bites.

Lu Yunzhan was eating while transmitting, "What exactly is going on? Can you tell me? It sounds very dangerous. I might even be in life-threatening danger. Do I need to know the specific situation?"

Soon Bai Yu's transmission came: "I suspect, no, I am sure my father is fake, but I have no evidence. Maybe I made a mistake. Anyway, our situation is not good. You just find an opportunity to leave."

Viscount Bai Feng is fake?

Lu Yunzhan chewed the food in his mouth slowly and looked up to carefully observe Bai Yu's expression. Although she still had a smile on her face, he could feel that she was a bit uneasy.

His intuition told him that what she said was true.

And for some reason, she was sure that Bai Feng was fake.

"Is there anything I can do to help you? Do you want me to help you find reinforcements? You look very uneasy. It seems that the danger you encountered is even more dangerous than what you described." Lu Yunzhan said seriously.

Bai Yu: "Thank you, but it's useless. They seem to have noticed something. None of the people I sent out have replied. I guess they were secretly killed by them. They noticed my suspicion."

"Although I don't know why they didn't take action against me, after you have contact with me, if you have any actions to seek help, I'm afraid you will also be very dangerous."

"And you are just a person wandering around, who only arrived in Beiya City yesterday, and you won't be able to find any reinforcements, and people won't believe what you say." ===== CHAPTER 264 =====
