âWhat condition?â
Madam Bai Meng jumped up. She was really surprised that Bai Xianyu agreed so quickly.
âI also hope that Uncleâs family understands that Uncle had already cut ties with our residence when my father died.â Bai Xianyuâs gaze was clear.
In fact, the Bai Family in the capital and the Bai Family in Qingzhou were already two different branches.
If not for the fact that they had completely severed ties back then, her fatherâs enemies in the court would not have let Bai Yuantaiâs family go south so easily. Her grandmother was surprisingly smart in this aspect of protecting her youngest sonâs safety. She had asked the Bai Family Clan to completely expel their Kingdom-Stabilizing Generalâs Manor from the genealogy.
Who would know that after Bai Yuannian, the backbone, died in battle, his few immature children and the Grandmother, who had only been in the capital for two years and did not know the rules, could support the huge Generalâs Manor.
When the tree fell, the monkeys scattered. When her father became successful, the Bai Family members promoted him as the chief of the clan. In the blink of an eye, they became afraid of being implicated and completely cut off relations with them.
Bai Xianyu did not want to accept them so magnanimously.
She continued, âI want Grandmother and Auntieâs family to promise me that in the future, no matter if itâs in front of outsiders or in the residence, donât refer to yourselves as the second branch of the Generalâs Manor. Staying here temporarily means staying here temporarily⦠Since you are not of the same genealogy, you are barely even our relatives.â
Bai Yuantai narrowed his eyes. âWhat does a little girl know? This Generalâs Manor belongs to my biological Eldest Brother! Weâre all family. Donât tell me you want to monopolize this Generalâs Manor!â
Bai Xianyu smiled faintly and said arrogantly, âMonopolized? Uncle, you must be joking. This Generalâs Manor belongs to my brothers and 1. It has nothing to do with you.â
Madam Bai Meng and Old Madam did not expect Bai Xianyu to make this request.
Rumors were terrifying. Bai Xianyu really wanted to seal their mouths, but their mouths were on them, and family scandals should not be publicized.
Since the opportunity to make them shut up had come, she had to seize it.
âGrandmother, think about it. Xianyu doesnât think this condition is excessive,â Bai Xianyu said. âItâs just the truth.â
After Bai Xianyu left, the Longevity Hall was silent.
Bai Yuâer was the first to break the silence. âFather, Mother, why are you still hesitating? What if Bai Xianyu goes back on her word? Then I wonât be able to find my ideal husband!â
Bai Yuantai berated, âBe quiet.â
Madam Bai Meng directly pointed it out. In any case, there were no outsiders here. âShe wants us to tell the truth. Whatâs wrong with agreeing to that? When our Yuâer finds a young master from an aristocratic family to be her husband, we can follow them and establish ourselves in the capital. Itâs better than having to look at Bai Xianyuâs expression here!â
âThatâs right, Father. I donât think Bai Xianyu is an easy person to deal with. If sheâs in a bad mood one day, sheâll probably even chase us out!â
Old Madam also said, âYuâer is right. After Xianyu became an adult, her temper became even worse. She doesnât even care about me. Iâm old now, and I donât know how long I can live. When Iâm gone, Iâm afraid there wonât be a place for all of you in the residence. My original plan was to let Taiâer and Maoâer take the examination here and find a good marriage for Yuâer. This way, you two will have a foothold in the capital.â
Qingzhou was still incomparable to the capital. Even the Longevity Hall was much more luxurious than their house in Qingzhou.
After a long while.
Bai Yuantai then said with his hands behind his back, âThen agree to her! If I had known, I wouldnât have gone to Qingzhou back then..â
