OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 780: Brother Fu Ce Deserves More Than a Bad Reputation

After Feng Fuce left with Bai Zhi’er, the frightened townspeople finally helped each other to stand up.

"That was terrifying." They were still shaken.

"Why did the Marquis Wan suddenly order all the girls to stand up? Could it be that he intends to catch them for alchemy?"

"Oh dear! It’s so frightening. The Xiuluo Guard is notorious for their cruelty. It’s probably another evil plan by the treacherous Marquis Wan to please the Emperor."

A little boy with a runny nose said innocently, "No, mother, I just stole a glance, and it seemed like Marquis Wan was looking for someone, maybe his sister is missing."

"Nonsense!" His mother scolded him: "Marquis Wan is an orphan, where would he have a sister? There must be a conspiracy."

The little boy tried to argue but couldn’t match the adults’ stubbornness.

The next day, the rumor about Marquis Wan capturing young boys and girls to refine longevity medicine spread more wildly.

Bai Xilie heard it while he was at Ruizhu Palace having lunch with Bai Zhi’er. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The Emperor hadn’t commented yet, but his obedient daughter put down her spoon, her small hand slapping the table.

"How unreasonable, to misunderstand Brother Fu Ce like this!"

Bai Xilie, normally calm, couldn’t help but laugh: "Zhi Bao, if father isn’t mistaken, did you sneak out, causing Marquis Wan to anxiously search everywhere?"

Bai Zhi’er’s indignant expression immediately changed.

She smiled sweetly, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Father is so smart, I’ll reward you with a bean."

Then, the little one picked up a bean she had dropped on the table and placed it in her father’s bowl.

Bai Xilie shook his head with a smile, very dotingly, "Oh you, father guessed it."

Though it was a serious matter of finding the princess, how did it get twisted outside?

It seems Marquis Wan’s image as a fearsome villain in their eyes hasn’t changed at all.

Bai Zhi’er realized this too and murmured, "Father, Brother Fu Ce always follows your orders, yet people are so afraid of him."

"Even when he does good things, people assume he has ulterior motives. Sigh! Brother Fu Ce is so pitiful."

Her soft voice carried a tinge of empathy.

She added, "I also heard from Sister Qingmei that some mothers use Brother Fu Ce’s name to scare their children to sleep."

"Then the children not only cry softly in fear but also fall asleep quickly."

"Father, Brother Fu Ce works tirelessly for you; he shouldn’t only have a bad name!"

Bai Zhi’er’s eyes were watery, speaking up for Feng Fuce.

Bai Xilie pondered for a moment, nodding, "Zhi’er is right. Would you like father to help him?"

He thought for a bit and said, "What if I allocate funds from my personal treasury, under Marquis Wan’s name, to help the poor?"

Bai Zhi’er shook her head in disapproval.

"No, because first, it’s not Brother Fu Ce’s own money, it’s father’s. To do good deeds, how can you use someone else’s silver?"

"Secondly, when people receive money, they only express gratitude at the moment. But if they don’t get it next time, they will complain again. Worse, they might say Brother Fu Ce is just putting on a show!"

Bai Zhi’er pinched her chin in thought, "Giving money isn’t as good as helping, but how can Brother Fu Ce help..."

Bai Xilie brainstormed along with her.

After thinking seriously, he smiled and said, "You love to explore outside the palace. Why not go with Marquis Wan? If you encounter injustice, help out. Father believes with Zhi’er’s lead, the Marquis Wan’s reputation will improve shortly."
