âA clear conscience?â Old Madam looked at Bai Yuantaiâs family, who were crying, and then at the expressionless Bai Xianyu. She almost fainted. âYouâre disrespectful to your elders and spouting nonsense. Is this a clear conscience?â
Bai Xianyu did not want to waste time. âGrandmother, if itâs just about this today, Iâll take my leave first.â
With that, she turned around.
When Madam Bai Meng saw that Bai Xianyu was about to leave without a care, she immediately sat on the ground and made a scene. âMother, do you think Bai Xianyu cares about us elders? You must give us an explanation today, or I wonât get up!â
Old Madam hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed Bai Xianyuâs arm tightly. Her hand was still trembling. âIf you have the ability, throw my old bones to the ground! Let your father in heaven see how his good daughter treats his biological mother!â
Not to mention Bai Xianyu, even Green Pearl had never seen this scene before. Madam Bai Meng was acting shamelessly like a peasant woman. Even Old Madam was grabbing onto Miss Bai and refusing to let her go.
The current Emperor ruled the country with benevolence and filial piety. If news of Old Madam crying and causing a scene like this spread, all of them would probably be implicated.
Bai Xianyu naturally understood what Green Pearl was thinking.
She suppressed her temper and looked straight at Madam Bai Meng. âWhat exactly do you want?â
They were crying in front of her Grandmother. They did not really want her to go to the Marquis of the Northern Garrison to seek justice for them. They must have other motives.
The corners of the girlâs eyes were slightly raised, and her eyes were extremely cold. She glanced at her indifferently, but it was extremely intimidating.
Under Bai Xianyuâs gaze, Madam Bai Meng had the illusion that she was the daughter of a noble family and was dignified. Meanwhile, she, who was sitting on the ground, was of lowly origin and a lowly servant.
Madam Bai Meng banished this ridiculous thought from her mind and said to Old Madam, âMother, didnât a few people come over to propose marriage to Bai Xianyu these days?â
Bai Xianyu frowned.
After all, she was still a girl. It was only right for the matchmaker to talk to her grandmother about marriage, but she had never heard her grandmother mention it.
Old Madamâs eyes flickered. âYes.â
Madam Bai Meng said, âThen you should also get Bai Xianyu to bring our Yuâer along. Yuâer is well-mannered and smart, but sheâs just unknown. If you get Bai Xianyu to bring her to the matchmaker and put in a good word for her, wonât Yuâerâs marriage be settled?â
When Old Madam heard this, she immediately came to a realization.
Thatâs right. It was not good for Yuâer to show her face now, but Xianyu was famous. Her grandsons were all outstanding, so she should let Yuâer follow Xianyu more. Yuâer was not bad-looking either, so there had to be someone who liked her, right?
Her grandsons were also Yuâerâs cousins! It shouldnât be difficult to find a good marriage.
âYes, Xianyu.â Old Madam was more thoughtful than Madam Bai Meng. She said happily, âNot only can you bring your cousin to show her face in front of the matchmakers, moreover, since you had grown up in the capital and know many Madams of the various Manors, you can also bring Yuâer around more. This way, the two of you can find a good husband. Iâll be satisfied.â
So that was what she was planning.
However, they had thought everything too simply. Grandmother was also from a peasant family and did not have much education. She might not understand that a marriage proposal in the capital was not something that could be sealed with money and reputation like in a small place.
What was more important was power.
Letting Bai Yuâer follow her would only embarrass them even more.
Bai Xianyu looked at everyoneâs excited gazes and smiled lightly, âSure.â
âAs long as you guys agree to one condition, Iâll bring her around.. How about that?â
