Thinking that his son would be the Duke of the State in the future, Bai Qiyun was so happy that he couldn't hold back his blood. All he could think about was that his son was going to be the Duke of the State! Needless to say, the glory of the title of Duke of the State, the Duke's Mansion had accumulated wealth through many years of conquests.
Many of them will belong to their family from now on, which is a great blessing.
Bai Qiyun was so happy that he couldn't sleep all night long.
Who would have thought that as soon as he set off from Shuoyang, people along the way heard that the second master of the Duke's Mansion actually had a concubine outside. As soon as the concubine was brought back to the Duke's Mansion, he treated the people as untouchables and asked his eldest daughter Bai Qingyan to hold him in his arms.
There was a strong beating in Changjie. Everyone said that the title of the Duke of the Kingdom would fall on this son, and they felt it was a pity.
When Bai Qiyun heard about this, he was so angry that he fell ill on the road and took a deep breath. The second master of the Duke's mansion had a concubine outside, and none of the servants of the Duke's mansion who returned to Shuoyang to report the funeral mentioned it.
Originally, Bai Qiyun was about to go back home, but was stopped by Steward Wu who was beside him. Steward Wu said that since they had set out to offer incense to the Duke, maybe things would turn around, but if they didn't go, there would be no turning around at all.
Bai Qiyun reluctantly agreed, and Manager Wu sent someone to go to the Duke's Mansion to inquire about the concubine's situation.
This afternoon, when Bai Qiyun and Wu Guanshi arrived at Dadu City, it was the time when the eldest princess and her grandchildren were forcing King Xin to death in front of Wude Gate.
When Bai Qiyun heard the news, he immediately had a cold war. He was afraid that the Bai family would offend the Holy One and bring disaster to them, so he sent an order to his two concubine cousins to leave immediately.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the people he sent to convey orders to his cousin left, the people sent by Steward Wu to inquire about Dadu came back and said that the bastard, the Second Master of the Duke's Mansion, had packed his things and was ready to leave at any time.
Manager Wu suddenly thought about it and gave Bai Qiyun another idea.
Manager Wu said that the Bai family who forced the emperor's legitimate son to kill would definitely not get a good end in the future, but for now the Duke's palace had the support of the people and should be safe for the time being. Now that the concubine had sensed the danger in advance and escaped, the Bai family in Shuoyang could not be stupid enough to adopt their son and go to the country.
The public house is a fire pit.
However, once the bastard leaves, there will be no male sons in the Duke's mansion. If the clan continues to refuse to adopt the son to the Duke's mansion, the female family members will most likely have to return to their hometown in Shuoyang to rely on the clan.
Regardless of whether the Duke of Guo wants to return to his hometown in the future or seek an adopted son from the clan, in short, it is the Duke of Guo who seeks help from the clan. They can take this opportunity to purchase land for the clan, rebuild ancestral halls, ancestral temples, ancestral tombs, schools, and
I asked Hongru to teach as an excuse to make a payment.
Dong, the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, is a smart person. If she knew that she would rely on the family's blessing in the future, she would not dare not give it to her.
Before Bai Qiyun came to the Duke's Mansion, Steward Wu specifically told him to speak in a higher manner. After all, the female relatives of the Duke's Mansion might have to rely on the clan in the future. The clan must take advantage of the opportunity for the orphans and widowers in the Duke's Mansion to return.
When they are in the capital city, they should be given a warning first, and then when they return to Shuoyang, they can seek benefits from the Dong family on behalf of their clan members.
Bai Qiyun felt that what Wu Guanshi said was reasonable, and because he was angry, it was inevitable that he would speak in an arrogant manner.
Bai Qingyan, who was standing in the corridor, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then turned his head slightly and said to Chuntao: "Go to the front and call the third and fourth girls over! Don't let the second girl know..."
Chuntao nodded and was about to leave, but Bai Qingyan pulled her back and whispered in her ear: "Go and ask your cousin to go to Xiao Mansion quickly, meet Xiao Rongyan, and tell Xiao Rongyan that I want to lend him the first prize."
If you make a deal with the name of a wealthy businessman, it will never harm him in the slightest. If he can help me, Bai Qingyan would be very grateful."
"Okay!" Chuntao responded and hurried towards the mourning hall in front.
The reason why Chen Qingsheng was asked to find Xiao Rongyan was because it was Chen Qingsheng who sent the letter to Xiao Rongyan, and Bai Qingyan hoped that Xiao Rongyan would lend her his name for the purpose of sending the letter.
Grandma Tong is such a smart person. As soon as Bai Qingyan said that she was not allowed to call the second girl over, she knew that Bai Qingyan had some plans and was afraid that it might damage her reputation. She frowned with some worry: "If the eldest lady has any orders, you can leave them to me."
This old slave will just take care of it! You, the third and fourth girls are all still boudoir girls, so it’s better not to get involved in some things..."
"I've already done things like forcing King Xin to be killed, why should I worry about my reputation?" She smiled at Nanny Tong and whispered, "Don't worry, Nanny, I have a sense of proportion."
In the hall, Bai Qiyun banged the table and said angrily: "The eldest princess is in the backyard of the Zhenguo Palace. You...you don't let your servants take me there. How can I see the eldest princess?!"
Mrs. Dong placed the tea cup heavily on the table, looked at Bai Qiyun with a pair of sharp eyes, and sneered: "So you still know that this is the Duke of Zhen's Mansion! You also know that I am the mistress of the Duke of Guo's Mansion! I will leave my words here today.
, if you, the Bai family of Shuoyang, come to offer condolences, our government welcomes you. If you come to ask for money, please wait until the important matter of the Bai family of my family is over before we discuss the matter! If you are not in a hurry, you can go back to Shuo now.
Yang, or let the common people come and judge in front of the Duke's Mansion! It is also possible to let the world see what unkind and unjust thoughts the Shuoyang clan has in mind when it comes to important events in my Bai family."
"You!" Bai Qiyun's face turned red with anger, he stood up and pointed at Dong.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became tense.
Nanny Qin, who was standing next to Mr. Dong, raised her chin slightly, smiled very kindly and said: "Sir, I advise you to take your finger back. Our Crown Prince's wife is the first rank of the imperial court. You are disrespectful to my wife, but you have to do it."
Imprisoned! Moreover, our Duke's Mansion is a home of military generals for generations, and the servants are bloody. Seeing you pointing at the mistress like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to save your finger if you get too excited."
Bai Qiyun was frightened by Nanny Qin. His index finger that was pointing straight at Dong was slightly bent, then he threw his sleeves behind his back, looked down at Dong, and said arrogantly: "Dong, you have to think clearly, the country
The concubine of the second master of the Duke's mansion has already packed up and is about to run away! There is no one to inherit the title of the Duke's mansion, why don't you wait for the female relatives to return to their ancestral home in Shuoyang to seek the protection of the clan! You are now trying to make things about the clan.
Cut off your own escape route!"
As soon as Bai Jintong and Bai Jinzhi heard Chuntao's message, they secretly found an excuse to sneak out of the mourning hall. Before they could talk to Bai Qingyan, they heard Bai Qiyun's domineering voice coming from inside.
Bai Jinzhi was instantly furious. He raised his feet and was about to rush in. He took two steps and then stopped. He tried his best to restrain his anger, gritted his teeth and turned around.
Seeing the eldest sister and the third sister looking at her, she knew that she had almost lost her composure and got into trouble again. Her ears turned red, and she came back and asked, "Eldest sister, what do you need me and the third sister to do?!"
