The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1031: lead by example
Chapter 1031 Leading by Example
When the incident happens in public, Bai Qingyan will not be able to stop her mother and aunt from remarrying even for the sake of her aunts and mother’s reputation!
Fang’s plan was a good one. If she had spent more money, even if she couldn’t get Bai Qingyan’s mother, she could at least get one of Bai Qingyan’s aunts, so that the benefits wouldn’t be snatched away by the Bai family’s clan members.
Seeing that Fang was unwilling to speak, Pu Liu did not ask any more questions. She bowed to Fang and said, “I will go back and change my clothes first, and then I will come back to serve you, Madam.”
Seeing the sweat on Pu Liu’s temples, Fang nodded and said, “Go back and have a rest! You’ve worked so hard.”
Just as Bai Qihe had received the news, the Bai clan had already set their sights on Bai Qingyan’s aunts and Queen Mother Dong.
Just like Fang, they heard that on Princess Gaoyi’s birthday, several ladies of the Bai family would also go to the kite-flying competition, and they were thinking about how to set up a trap to trap as many people as possible…
Some people, like Fang, had the idea of using dirty tricks, but such dishonorable methods were naturally discussed behind closed doors among family members, and some people had already sent people to make arrangements in advance.
Inside the palace.
After listening to Bai Qihe’s talk about the Bai clan’s plan, Bai Jin was so childish that he almost couldn’t help but pick up a whip and teach the Bai clan members a lesson.
“The reason why I haven’t taken any action yet is because I’m worried that Your Majesty has made arrangements that might ruin Your Majesty’s plans. So I came to the palace to discuss it with Your Majesty. If it’s not a major matter, after I go back… I will deal with these members of my clan in my capacity as the clan leader!” Bai Qihe said.
“What are we still discussing? Every one of them will be dealt with according to the clan law!” Bai Jinzhi’s chest heaved violently and his voice kept getting higher and higher.
“On Xiao Si’s birthday, I don’t want the Bai clan to cause trouble, so I’ll trouble the clan leader to go back and deal with them all! Otherwise… I don’t know what dirty tricks those members with delusional thoughts will use. It’s not right to let the people see the filth in the Bai clan on such an occasion.” Bai Qing spoke slowly, “Clan leader, can you tell these clan members to behave themselves? Otherwise, don’t blame me for not considering our relationship as fellow clan members. Not only will I deal with them according to clan rules, but I will also investigate and deal with them according to national laws!”
“Yes!” Bai Qihe bowed to Bai Qingyan and said goodbye.
Bai Qingyan fell into deep thought…
Since ancient times, the dirty methods used against women have been nothing more than ruining their reputation!
She encouraged widows to remarry. If a widow didn’t want to, someone would covet her beauty or wealth and use dirty tricks to force her to remarry.
In this case, Bai Qingyan had no choice but to increase the punishment for raping a young woman in the new law, just as it was written in Empress Ji’s book, in order to enlighten the people…especially to enlighten the women who had been oppressed by men for hundreds of years, so that they could learn to fight for themselves.
This matter…can’t be rushed.
“I’m so angry!” Bai Jinzhi sat down next to Bai Qingyan. “These people in the clan are not good at anything. They are the best at scheming for personal gain! And they always use such messy methods. Sister… are we really from the same clan as the people in the clan?”
“The previous clan leader led the clan for decades, and he did not behave properly, so it is natural that the clan members will find it difficult to straighten their ways. The older generation was most affected, and it may be difficult for them to change their already formed nature! Now that Bai Qihe has taken over… the younger generation can still straighten things out, just be more patient.” Bai Qingyan said.
Bai Jinzhi nodded, and her eyes fell on Bai Qingyan’s belly again: “The baby in your belly is really sensible! I remember when Aunt Wu was pregnant with Xiaoba, she vomited and couldn’t get out of bed in the first few months.”
Speaking of the child, Bai Qingyan smiled. He lowered his eyes and stroked his abdomen and said with a smile, “Yes, even Doctor Hong said that this child knows how to care for others. He will definitely be sensible in the future!”
Bai Jinzhi looked at her elder sister’s smiling face and pursed her lips…
Since returning, Bai Jinzhi has never mentioned Xiao Rongyan in front of Bai Qingyan, for fear of causing Bai Qingyan’s sadness. But seeing that Bai Qingyan really didn’t seem sad, Bai Jinzhi was worried that her eldest sister hid her sadness too well in her heart and would hurt herself instead.
“Sister, Mr. Xiao…” Bai Jinzhi looked at Bai Qingyan, “Sister, if you want to cry, I will accompany you. When your nephew or niece is born, I will love her well! I will never let the child feel lonely without a father!”
Bai Qingyan looked up at Bai Jinzhi’s worried face and chuckled, “Silly girl! It’s okay, Xiao Rongyan… is not dead.”
“Not dead?!” Bai Jinzhi opened his eyes wide, “Then he…”
“This matter is rather complicated. My elder sister will explain it to you in detail later.” Bai Qingyan said.
Seeing that Bai Qingyan didn’t look like he was faking it, she felt relieved.
“Oh, by the way, elder sister!” Bai Jinzhi moved to Bai Qingyan’s side and asked in a low voice, “Aunt, have you met the fifth brother?”
When Bai Jinzhi was in Hancheng, she was thinking about her eldest sister’s coronation ceremony. The fifth brother would definitely be there…
Later, Bai Jinxiu arrived in Hancheng. She heard from Bai Jinxiu that the Ghost-faced Prince of Rongdi had indeed come to attend her eldest sister’s coronation ceremony. Bai Jinzhi was extremely happy. She thought that if her aunt saw that her fifth brother was alive and well, she would be so happy.
Bai Qingyan nodded.
Bai Jinzhi smiled: “Although my fifth brother is far away in Rongdi now, but… one day our family will be reunited!”
She smiled and looked at her fourth sister with red eyes: “This is natural! A family should be together! This day won’t last long…”
Bai Jinzhi nodded.
“Please go and talk to the aunts about what the Bai clan leader just reported. Tell them to be careful that day. Even though there are imperial guards protecting them, they still have to be careful and not get into any trouble. Don’t have any contact with the clan members that day.”
“Okay, I’ll go right away!” Bai Jinzhi stood up, bowed to Bai Qingyan, and left in a hurry.

On October 17th of the first year of Yuanhe, Princess Gaoyi’s birthday, a kite-flying competition was held on the outskirts of Dadu City. Luxurious elm horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts with green brocade painted wheels came out of the south gate in an endless stream, heading towards Jinhui Mountain.
Jinhui Mountain is covered with ginkgo trees. In autumn, it turns golden and looks very beautiful.
Along the way, there were hawkers wearing blue cloth short coats carrying shoulder poles and hawking their wares. Children with pigtails chasing after an old man in blue cloth pushing a cart selling sweet cakes, waiting for the old man to stop so that they could buy some sweet cakes to satisfy their cravings.
In the golden autumn season, the sky is clear and cloudless, which is a good time to fly kites.
The noble families vied with each other to take part and came early to try out the kites or to greet the judge, Liu Rushi. The newly-married widows who were invited to take part in the kite-flying competition were originally eager to try, but when they saw the postures of the nobles, they felt a little timid.
“I heard that His Majesty will also be here today!” someone whispered.
“That’s right! I heard that someone is here today to question the empress, why she only encourages widows among the common people to remarry, but the royal family does not set an example.”
The third update, just posted here, I haven’t found any bugs yet! Good night, my dears!
