Chuntao, who had been waiting at the gate of the yard, and Bai Jintong's personal maid Danzhi, saw the two girls coming out and hurriedly lifted the umbrella and quickly came in to pick up the two girls.
Bai Jintong took the umbrella in Danzhi's hand and held it on Bai Qingyan's head and said, "You two are back, I'll go and have a walk..."
"Give me the lamp." Bai Qingyan took the lamp in Chuntao's hand.
The two sisters walked along the snow-covered bluestone road, talking while walking towards Yifeng Pavilion.
"I heard from my grandmother that I have arranged a few words for you to choose from for yourself, so you can choose?" she asked.
"I chose Cui Fengnian's name, which sounds nice. The Cui family was originally a merchant, but it was defeated more than ten years ago. The Cui family also has a grandmother who is blind and confused, and no one else can do it.
As for doubting that my identity is fake."
She nodded: "Uncle Ping chose the people. After the work is done, I think they will follow you and listen to your order."
"Sister, grandmother has given me a lot of people!" Bai Jintong said.
She paused, turned her head and stared at Bai Jintong: "Those people were given by her grandmother, they must be used. You can use them well, but some things... need someone who only obeys you, your subordinates
You can't have no one without your own!"
Bai Jintong pursed her lips, guessing whether the elder sister was implicitly reminding her to be on guard against her grandmother.
"Don't think too much, I just don't want to make my grandmother sad." She led Bai Jintong and continued to walk forward. "Grandmother is old at the end of the day, and she would rather see that it is Taiping, who is respectful and supported by the royal family.
In the storefront, if you do something beyond your grandmother’s expectations, your grandmother will not ignore it. You must remember that your grandmother is our grandmother and the eldest princess of the Great Jin Dynasty.”
"I know the elder sister, I will let my grandmother see what she wants to see." Bai Jintong said.
Luping's subordinates knew the roots and could deliver them to their backs. There were only a few dozen of them. He carefully picked up the ten who were the strictest, and took the roster to report to Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan handed the roster to Bai Jintong: "If you use these people in the future, do you want to meet them?"
"I don't worry about the person that Uncle Ping chose, so I won't go and see it anymore. There will always be times when I want to see it." Bai Jintong said.
She nodded, looked up at Lu Ping, her eyes were deep and her speech was extremely steady: "If you are a bandit, then you should dress up like a bandit, don't reveal any flaws, and you don't have to deliberately save your life for Bai Qiyun and his party. After the matter is finished, there is no need to do so.
Return to the death and spread out two roads. All the way to Wudaopo, I asked Mr. Liu Zhengyu of Liujiabao to come out in the name of my father. All the way, disguised as an ordinary business manager and servant to come to Shuoyang before the incident, and bought Shuoyang white tea for the young boss Cui Fengnian to go overseas for the transaction.
After the transaction... they followed the third girl to obey orders."
"Yes!" Lupin nodded.

It was already midnight, outside the Changshou Courtyard, Madam Jiang, who was holding an umbrella, listened to the reply from the mother in the outer courtyard, gave her a purse, and hurried into the room with the hem of her jacket and skirt.
The gray-haired eldest princess closed her eyes and sat on the bedside pillow of auspicious and wishful double flower pillow, covered with a crimson purple rich flower quilt, fiddling with Buddhist beads in her hand, and the curtain had not yet been put down, half of her body was hidden in the candlelight
Not in the shadow.
"The eldest princess..." Madam Jiang walked to the eldest princess and lowered her voice and said, "The second master's concubine has settled in the village, and everything that should be said has been passed. Now, during this year's festival, the mother and son are both here.
There was nowhere to go, and he got the promise of the eldest princess to ensure his safety. He also relied on the only bloodline of the Duke's Mansion, so naturally, it would be more beneficial for him to settle in the village first, just wait for them to move into the village.
, that woman must not be able to come out alive.”
The eldest princess sighed: "Don't let Abao know about this!"
When Madam Jiang heard this, she red eyes again: "Actually, my elder sister didn't think of the life of that illegitimate son."
The eldest princess closed her eyes and wetness emerged: "I'm not trying to prevent Abao from taking the life of his second son, I don't want Abao to dip the dirty blood of the dirty woman on her hands! Abao is so small
A child... I have done too much for this family. Let me, the old lady who buried her body in the soil, do it!”
Madam Jiang responded and knelt beside the eldest princess' bed, gently holding the eldest princess' hand: "I know that the eldest princess still loves the eldest sister the most!"

Early the next morning, as Bai Qingyan expected, Bai Qiyun brought his men out of the city with him with 450,000 taels of silver bills, which was in the direction of Shuoyang.
Before leaving, Bai Qiyun told the two commoners that they would go to the Duke's Mansion for another day today and would have to set off back to Shuoyang tomorrow.
Before noon, the emperor issued four decrees from the imperial city, and the content made the people of the capital kneel and kowtow, shouting that the emperor was wise.
The first decree was ordered by the emperor to arrest the Zhongyong Hou Qin Dezhao and investigate the case of food and grass in southern Xinjiang.
The second decree was that Liu Huanzhang would treason the enemy and treason the country, and confiscate the family and destroy the clan.
The third decree was that King Xin was demoted to the common people and exiled to Yongzhou forever and was not allowed to return to the court. Prince Xin was demoted to the common people and was prohibited in the palace of Prince Xin.
The fourth decree was to posthumously confer the title of Duke Zhen as King of Zhen, and posthumously confer the title of Duke Zhen as Duke Zhen.
The eldest princess personally led the widow of the Bai family to kneel at the door to receive the imperial edict. The two silence masters who had not left were so shocked that their faces turned pale. They looked at each other and were full of panic.
The emperor posthumously named Duke Zhenguo as King Zhenguo. This means that the emperor not only did not mean to abandon Duke’s Mansion, but also wanted to be kind!
A title of king! A king with a different surname! Even if he is a posthumous title, it is an unattainable honor!
Bai Qingyan, who was kneeling in front of the spirit, put a incense stick on the Duke of Zhenguo, kowtowed solemnly, and then looked up and his eyes were blurred, and his heart was so sore.
"Grandfather! Father! The traitor Liu Huanzhang confiscated his family and destroyed his family. King Xin was demoted to a commoner and exiled to Yongzhou forever. God finally gave my Bai family's innocence, and my Bai family's men... are all loyal and righteous gentlemen who stand up to earth and are worthy of the people!
Although the body of the Bai family dies, the spirit will be immortal! Uncles and brothers, you can rest in peace!”
She kowtowed heavily.
The sisters of the Bai family knelt behind Bai Qingyan with tears in their eyes and kowtowed.
When the people outside the Duke's Mansion heard the word "rest in peace", they beat their chests and cried bitterly. The huge grief hidden in their hearts protected each other and were infected, and the crying sounded shocked the sky.
In this life, she finally did not let her grandfather carry the word "stubborn army" and was buried in humiliation, leaving her infamous for a lifetime.
But even if... what's the use of chasing the title of king?! Can the loyal and righteous man in the Bai family survive?!
She will never put the life and death of the Bai family in the hands of others.
She wants power! She wants power!
The Bai family will no longer be a fish on the chopping board.
The emperor's punishment for King Xin this time is greater than what the emperor told her in the hall before.
She dared to conclude that the emperor had already made up his mind to let her go to southern Xinjiang, so... he made such a show of kindness, even concessions and compromises.
