4 Times married to my enemy

Chapter 16: Find her

Who is she?

Qin Peng was momentarily stumped by Bai Zhi's question.

Bai Zhi was always rational and never believed in supernatural phenomena. She was the daughter of a servant who had served Zhao Peng's mother for a lifetime, and Bai Zhi had followed Zhao Peng since childhood. While Zhao Peng was afraid of ghosts as a child, Bai Zhi was never scared because she firmly believed that the so-called ghosts and deities were merely lies that disturbed the human heart.

So if Qin Peng were to tell Bai Zhi at this moment, "Sister, I am your deceased mistress Zhao Peng," she had no doubt that Bai Zhi would subject her to severe torture and coercion.

Thus, she turned her head, raised her hand to tie up her hair, concealing the moment of daze just now, and slowly said, "Who am I? I am the eldest princess of Qi, the lady of the Wei family, and a formidable rival of Regent Shuhuai. Isn't that enough for you, Miss Bai Zhi?"

"Anyway," Qin Peng smiled at Bai Zhi, "isn't your goal to kill Shuhuai? We can cooperate on that; as for other matters, why delve into them?"

Bai Zhi said nothing, staring at the woman in front of her.

This woman's style of speaking and acting was too similar to Zhao Peng, making her feel hesitant.

As the most capable person under Zhao Peng, Bai Zhi had already thoroughly grasped the interpersonal relationships in Qi before coming here. According to her information, this fourth princess was clearly someone with... little lethality.

Yet, such a person recognized her at a glance and even knew her husband, Xiahou Yan.

Bai Zhi pressed her lips together, the knife still at Qin Peng's neck, and said coldly, "How do you know my identity?"

"I've investigated Shuhuai." Qin Peng immediately replied, lying without needing a script: "I have looked into everyone around him, including everyone around his wife. As you are the closest person to Shuhuai's wife, naturally, I know."

This made Bai Zhi relax a little. She was also someone who needed to know everything clearly to act against someone. She loosened the knife from Qin Peng's neck and galloped into the woods. Once in the trees, it became difficult for the horse to run. Now that Bai Zhi had been injured on her shoulder and was somewhat hindered in movement, Qin Peng glanced at the pursuing soldiers behind and immediately said to Bai Zhi, "Take off your clothes and give them to me; bind your wound tightly so the blood doesn't flow out. Hide in the tree and don't move!"

"You..." Bai Zhi was taken aback as Qin Peng reached out to rip off her clothes. The two of them changed their outer garments while running. Qin Peng knew what she wanted to say and quickly said, "Once the pursuers have gone, you run out to hide and tend to your wounds. Look for an opportunity to go to the Wei residence; I will wait for you there. If you want to bring down Shuhuai, I will help you!"

After saying this, the two had almost finished changing clothes. Qin Peng took the knife from Bai Zhi's hand and made a cut on her own arm. Then she handed the knife back to Bai Zhi, gathered her hair, said, "See you later," and turned to run deeper into the mountains.

Bai Zhi watched the lively figure running far away, still twisting her waist, and her mood was quite complex. However, after thinking it over, she still followed Qin Peng's instructions, tightly bandaged her wound, climbed the tree, and quietly waited for the pursuing soldiers behind.

The pursuers quickly caught up by following the blood trail and the direction of the broken grass. Bai Zhi waited a moment before she saw Shuhuai arrive with his men.
