The back door was also tied from the inside, but Bai Ling called and someone opened the door.
Fortunately, the back door was not too small and a carriage could go in. Bai Ling asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the front yard to avoid wasting time.
In the hall, Bai Wei was so angry that she wanted to rush out several times, but was stopped by Bai Shao and her maid.
"My aunt doesn't believe it. There is no royal law in Zidong City. How dare a stinky gangster marry me by force!" Bai Wei was furious, shouting so loudly that it hurt people's eardrums.
"You are really powerful, why do you still want to fight with others? You girl, do you think this is one-third of an acre of land in Nanshan Village? Believe it or not, if you go out and make a fuss today, tomorrow there will be rumors all over the city. Xiaoshan and the others are here
Can I still study well in the academy?"
Bai Ling had a headache due to Bai Wei's fiery temper and was never calm when things happened.
"Let's take a break for a while. Think about how to solve the problem first. When you turn around and feel angry, you can just use some money to have someone secretly beat that person up. If he gets crippled, your second sister and I will take care of the aftermath."
Bai Ling doesn't mind at all if his family is more powerful, as long as he doesn't suffer a disadvantage.
But it is not certain how the Bai family will develop in the future, and Bai Wei is not married, so she cannot ruin her reputation and must try her best to turn things to her advantage.
"Second sister?" Bai Wei was stopped by the girl just now, but she didn't see Bai Ling. Now that she saw the backbone, she felt extremely wronged, and her eyes turned red, "I was bullied, second sister, please give up quickly."
I’m taking it out!”
"Okay, please sit down and take a breath first. Shaoyao, you are the eldest girl next to the third girl, please tell me." Bai Ling looked at Bai Wei's personal girl and asked, and he walked over and pulled Bai Wei to sit down.
.
After all, Bai Shao is responsible for things in the house. He may not know the whole story clearly enough, so he still has to ask Shao Yao.
Shaoyao has been with Bai Wei in the past two years. The girls who were previously selected by Bai Wei have all helped her make bean curd.
The Bai family is kind to their servants, but almost everyone is in awe of Bai Ling. After all, she is the real master of the family.
"Second Miss..." Shaoyao's eyes were still red and swollen. It looked like she had just cried, but she explained the matter clearly.
It turned out that when Bai Wei went out to buy things, she was attracted by a dandy boy from the capital who came to visit her grandfather's house.
But Baiwei Xiaojiao's temperament meant that she wanted to vent her anger, but she didn't want to be entangled by that young man instead.
Originally, Bai Wei didn't want to cause trouble, so she planned to hide at home and not go out.
Who would have thought that the young master would come to his door and threaten Bai Wei to ruin the Bai family's business if she didn't help him?
But who is Bai Wei who can surrender?
So what happened today, Bai Wei was so angry that she wanted to beat someone with a stick.
"Can you find out where the other person came from?" Bai Ling asked Bai Shao.
Bai Shao hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Back to the master, the father of the young master who caused trouble is a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the young master is a concubine, and my aunt seems to be favored. This time she is passing by Zidong City and wants to give him a favor.
Birthday wishes to his grandfather."
Although Bai Shao didn't know Bai Ling's secret power, Bai Ling had already given her a token, and she knew when and where to go to find someone for help, but she would not use this relationship easily.
Bai Wei's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly pulled Bai Ling's sleeve and asked, "Second sister, have I caused trouble for the family?"
The young masters of the Beijing official family, can they afford to offend them?
Bai Ling glared at Bai Wei fiercely. Was this hot girl scared?
However, Bai Wei misunderstood what she meant. She stood up quickly, looking like she was going to die generously. She clenched her fist and said, "I'm just going to be a concubine! I'll just go. I can't bring any trouble to the family."
"Looking at your potential, you really treat me as your second sister. I have been living in vain all these years. How can I be afraid of a concubine who is not a sixth-grade official?" He grabbed Bai Wei's hand and led her back.
Bai Ling, who is about to get engaged to Shangguan Yu, said that she really doesn't take him seriously.
Even if in the past, the Bai family went bankrupt and went into hiding, it wouldn't be possible to ruin the happiness of my sister, right?
"But the other party is a Beijing official!" Bai Wei cried a little. It was the first time she met such a person. How could she not be afraid?
"Okay, leave this matter to me, and you can stay at home with peace of mind. I can only stay for two or three days at most when I come back this time. I still have a lot of things to do, so I will talk to you later."
Bai Ling rushed to the two girls and ordered:
"Shaoyao, watch your mistress and don't ask her to go out and cause trouble. Bai Shao, go and ask the kitchen to prepare a table of good food and wine. Girl, I'm starving to death. Then prepare a generous gift and wait for my instructions."
After saying that, Bai Ling went out and called the boy to give him some instructions in a low voice.
It's hard to talk about other things, but now Bai Ling is going to the capital with the imperial envoy to recover her life. Not to mention that the prefect is thinking of old friendship and should help. Even now, she will never feel uneasy.
What's more, the imperial envoy's attitude towards Bai Ling is also good. He doesn't want to delay his trip to Beijing or cause any complications, so he will help the Bai family this time.
However, since the imperial envoy should not cause trouble, it would be best to ask the prefect.
After calling a bunch of people, Bai Ling didn't rush to open the door, and just stood inside and listened.
It's one thing to send away the young master in the capital, but it's not letting the Bai family's reputation be damaged that gives Bai Ling a headache.
Although the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty were open-minded, women were a disadvantaged group after all, especially those businessmen like the Bai family who came from a peasant family and now lacked merchant registration. It was easy for people to look down upon them.
Fortunately, the Bai family had a good reputation before, so the impact would be smaller.
Not long after, the prefect sent someone over. He was a capable housekeeper in the government. He had also spent time in the capital and had a lot of information about the capital.
There were so many people watching the excitement that Bai Ling couldn't hear exactly what was said, but he knew that the housekeeper had calmed the young man down and asked the nursing home to open the door.
"Hit this county boss! You dare to bully me and come to your door. Are you pretending that there is no one in the Bai family? The court law stipulates that the daughter of an official's direct daughter cannot be a concubine. This county boss will beat this brother who is pretending to be a Beijing official today and is violating the court law.
If you are a liar, then take him to the Yamen and ask Mr. Qingtian to make the decision!"
The door opened, and Bai Ling stood inside, waving his jade hand and shouting loudly.
Without giving the people outside the door time to react, the nursing staff rushed up and beat up those who came to deliver betrothal gifts. The so-called betrothal gift boxes were also overturned, and the bargains inside were displayed in front of everyone.
The housekeeper didn't expect Bai Ling to do this, and his instinctive reaction was to step aside, but he thought in his heart: This county lord is indeed different. A capable person is confident in doing things, and... he doesn't act according to common sense.
.
Bai Ling didn't care what everyone thought. Seeing the young master being beaten, his parents couldn't recognize him anymore, so he felt relieved.
"Uncle Chen is here too? What a coincidence. This man pretended to be the son of a court official and dared to take advantage of my sister. He even came to her house to force her to marry him. He also asked the housekeeper to lead the way and asked the Fuzhong Nursing Home to take them to the hospital.
Let’s go to the Yamen. It’s true that the Imperial Envoy is still waiting at the inn for me to return to the capital. I don’t have time to go to the Yamen to file a lawsuit. I hope you will handle everything fairly and give justice to the Bai family.”
Bai Ling looked like he had just seen the butler, but his high-pitched voice allowed everyone standing close to hear him and understand the whole story.
The housekeeper also knows how to wink, but this is the first time he meets such a risk-taking girl. Does he really not care about his reputation?
But if you think about it carefully, the Bai family is really praised as Bodhisattva in Zidong City and even Zixiao City. If the Bai family girl is said to have bad conduct, the victims who will be resettled later will be the first to tolerate it, right? (To be continued)
