Madam Bai Meng could feel everyoneâs gazes on her. She felt that she had lost all her face in this life.
However, the servant covered her mouth and she could not say a word. She could only struggle desperately in Bai Xianyuâs direction.
âSend Auntie and Bai Yuâer to Grandmotherâs courtyard,â Bai Xianyu said.
Bai Yuâer, who was by the side, was covered by a piece of clothing. There were faint traces of blood. It seemed that he had not shown any mercy at all.
Wasnât Xie Xingyun quite indulgent towards her Cousin?
Now, he did not even show any mercy to the fairer sex.
Bai Xianyu thought and glanced at Madam Bai Meng.
Madam Bai Meng had still wanted her to stand up for Bai Yuâer. If she agreed, it would be equivalent to recognizing their family as from the Generalâs Manor.
She glanced at the people around her. âHave all of you understood clearly what 1 said today?â
Everyone lowered their heads and did not quite understand. They heard their Young Miss say, âThe Bai Family has long been split up. Uncle and Auntâs family had come to the Generalâs Manor to stay at my grandmotherâs place temporarily. This Generalâs Manor was established by my father and Iâll not let outsiders meddle in it.â
âYes, Miss.â
The maids and servants said in unison.
It was fine if she had used the things in the residence to supplement Bai Yuâerâs family in the past. It had been a long time ago, so she could just treat it as her fatherâs show of filial piety toward her grandmother. However, her brothers had painstakingly worked hard to support the current Kingdom-Stabilizing Generalâs Manor, if her grandmother or Bai Yuâerâs family still had designs on it, then donât blame her for turning hostile.
Bai Xianyu wanted to spread word on what she had just said. They were using the prestige of the Generalâs Manor to cause trouble outside. If she did not draw a clear line now, it would only make outsiders tacitly admit that Bai Yuâerâs family was from the Manor and allowed them to be made a laughing stock for no reason.
Lushan Academy.
The rankings of the examination had been revealed, and many students who had obtained a ranking had already obtained an official post. Because Fourth Brother had âfailed to get on the rankingsâ, he had applied for a few days of âheartbreak leaveâ from the teacherâ¦
Logically speaking, Bai Xianyu should have persuaded Fourth Brother to be better prepared for the examination, but she had also hoped that Fourth Brother would not be able to get in.
Nothing major had happened during the period that Eldest Brother went to battle till his successful return. The Bai Familyâs power would only reach its peak when Bai Jinyan succeeded in the imperial examinations the following year.
Eldest Brother had outstanding military achievements, Second Brother was as wealthy as a country, Third Brother had a high status, and Fourth Brother was the youngest top scorer after Xie Xingyun.
Even if Generalâs Manor wanted to have peace and quiet, they could not.
Third Brother had also mentioned something yesterday. He said that Emperor Wu Xuan had called him over alone after court, with the intent to bestow her a marriage. If he had not used the excuse that she was still young to block it, she would probably have to wait to be married now.
She frowned. In front of her was the teacher who was teaching. It was as she had imagined. Now that the Emperor had this thought, even if he could block it for a while, he would not be able to block it for long. It was fine if he gave her in marriage to an aristocrat, but she was afraid that he would give her to a Prince.
No matter who it was, the Generalâs Manor would become the target of public criticism. The prince who was bestowed with a marriage would also be the most likely candidate to be the crown prince in everyoneâs eyes.
The last crown prince appointed by Emperor Wu Xuan would be the Fifth Prince.
However, it was difficult to guess the Emperorâs intent. If he had deliberately used the Generalâs Manor as a target for the sake of the Fifth Prince and bestowed her to another prince to divert the conflict, and then dispose of them together in the endâ¦
Bai Xianyu sighed softly. It seemed that she had to find time to attend the Lantern Festival and the banquet set up by the ladies. There had to be a suitable one.
She turned her head to look at the young man sitting inside the Academy and pondered. At this moment, a dull sound suddenly came from the seat beside her.
It was as if someone had sat down..
