The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1036: Wrong idea
Chapter 1036: Wrong Thoughts
There were even brave children who, regardless of their mother’s scolding, quickly climbed up the tree, looked inside the field, and told the people under the tree about the situation inside.
The second Miss Qin came here at the right time, so that when everyone’s attention was focused here, she could bring up this matter and make the Bai family suffer.
The current Miss Qin Er is no longer the same Miss Qin Er as before. She has died once, so what is there to be afraid of?
Just as that adult said, since she is going to die… why not make things difficult for the Bai family before she dies? If she can make the Bai family unhappy, she will also be avenging her mother!
Bai Jinzhi dragged Royal Arong around the kite competition venue and ran towards Bai Qingyan’s pavilion. As soon as they arrived, they heard the second daughter of the Qin family say loudly: “Therefore, please ask the royal family to set an example, so that the new law of encouraging widows to remarry can be implemented smoothly. Otherwise, the people will inevitably think that encouraging widows to remarry… is only for the people, not the nobles, and think that encouraging widows to remarry is of no benefit. Otherwise, why don’t the widows of the royal family and the relatives of the nobles rush to marry out.”
Everyone was looking eagerly in the direction of Bai Qingyan’s shed, waiting to see who would be the winner of the kite competition. Who would have expected to hear what the second daughter of the Qin family said.
Everyone held their breath and looked at Bai Qingyan, Dong and the other ladies of the Bai family.
Mrs. Dong did not seem to be panicked at all. She waved her round fan and looked at the second daughter of the Qin family with a half-smile. Then she looked at the tense second wife, Mrs. Liu, the sneering third wife, Mrs. Li, and the calm fifth wife, Mrs. Qi: “Look, they are coming for us. They want to use us as a raft to attack the new law…”
Fifth Madam Qi leaned against a hidden table, waving her ivory round fan from time to time: “The second young lady of the Qin family is really worried a lot! I don’t know who is behind this!”
The second daughter of the Qin family was ready to die. She kowtowed in the direction of Bai Qingyan and Dong and said, “Queen Mother, Your Majesty, please understand that there is absolutely no one behind this. These are my sincere words, and everything is for the sake of the Great Zhou!”
The second young lady of the Qin family lowered her eyebrows and said as the adult taught her: “Now His Majesty allows women to take the imperial examinations and perhaps become officials. Although I am not talented, I also want to help His Majesty. I cannot see His Majesty on weekdays, so I can only take this opportunity to propose this matter to His Majesty today. Please consider the overall situation of the new policy and allow the ladies of the Bai family to get married again.”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying!” Fifth Madam Qi laughed coldly, “Your Majesty, please allow us to get married again. It’s as if Your Majesty doesn’t allow us to get married.”
After Lu Jin’s advice, Liu Rushi already knew what Bai Qingyan meant. He lifted the hem of his clothes and walked towards Bai Qingyan’s shed. After bowing to Dong and Bai Qingyan, he spoke, “I’ve heard that someone is planning to use the new law to encourage widows to remarry to cause trouble at the kite competition held by Lord Gao Yi today. I thought someone had the guts and the ability to do that, but it turned out to be the second daughter of the Qin family who almost killed Lord Fuguo and often regarded herself as his sister-in-law.”
The second daughter of the Qin family knelt there, not afraid of the Minister of Rites Liu Rushi, who was notoriously vicious in the capital. She looked up at Liu Rushi and said, “How can I be considered as causing trouble? This matter is now spreading all over the capital. Ordinary widows in the capital have married one after another, but which of the ladies of the Bai family is not a widow? Why haven’t they married yet? Aren’t you afraid of causing criticism?”
A few days ago, Bai Qihe expelled the Bai clan members who had evil thoughts about the Bai family’s wife, so the Bai clan members who came here today had long given up the idea of marrying the widows of the Bai family in Dadu. Who would have thought that the second girl of the Qin family was so bold as to bring up this matter in public and did what they had originally planned to do…
In this case, if the ladies of the Bai family were forced to marry, would they have a chance? After all, they were all members of the Bai clan, and letting these ladies of the Bai family marry people from the Bai clan would be a good thing.
Thinking of this, the Bai clan members have already started to plan in their hearts…
“That’s what people outside are saying now. Several ladies have remained widows and have not remarried because the royal family feels that if a widow remarries it will bring disgrace to the family and will not be good for them… That’s why they don’t allow the widow of the Bai family to remarry. The empress’s new policy forces the widows of the people to remarry! They only care about the royal family’s face and ignore the dignity of the people. I won’t accept this!” Miss Qin said righteously.
Liu Rushi, who was already prepared, was about to speak when he heard the fifth lady Qi calling him.
“Lord Liu…” Fifth Madam Qi stood up with the help of Nanny Zhai, bowed to Dong, and said with a smile, “Sister-in-law… since Miss Qin’s words are referring directly to the widow of our Bai family, then as the widow of the Bai family… I think it is most appropriate for me to say a few words.”
The Fifth Madam regards herself as the widow of the Bai family. She has a calm and composed look and a noble character.
Mrs. Dong knew that her fifth sister-in-law was no less talented than Lord Liu, so she nodded and said, “Fifth sister-in-law, please…”
“Fifth Aunt…” Bai Qingyan’s brows tightened. She already knew what Fifth Aunt was going to say, and she didn’t want to let Fifth Aunt damage her reputation for the sake of the smooth implementation of the new law.
Fifth Madam Qi smiled at Bai Qingyan and shook her head to indicate that Bai Qingyan should not worry.
Mrs. Dong patted Bai Qingyan’s hand, signaling Bai Qingyan to be at ease.
Liu Rushi also stood aside, waiting quietly. If Fifth Madam Qi didn’t hit the point, it would be the same if he added more.
Wei Zhongren came hurriedly, raised his hand to cover his lips and whispered in Bai Qingyan’s ear for a while, pretending to listen attentively to the instructions.
“Please ask the clan leader to come over first, I will come over later…” Bai Qingyan said to Wei Zhong, and then said, “Ask Doctor Hong to check on Fourth Aunt.”
“Yes!” Wei Zhong responded and stepped back to invite Bai clan leader Bai Qihe and Doctor Hong.
“What happened to your fourth aunt?” asked Dong.
“It’s okay, mother, don’t worry.” Bai Qingyan said with a smile.
The Fifth Madam Qi, waving a round fan, walked up to the second daughter of the Qin family under the gaze of everyone and said with a smile: “Do you know why the sisters-in-law of our Bai family are unwilling to remarry?”
The second young lady of the Qin family didn’t know what the fifth lady Qi was planning, so she simply kept silent.
The fifth wife, Madam Qi, smiled and said, “We don’t want to marry again…”
“Madam Fifth, aren’t you afraid that the people will question the new law that encourages widows to remarry? The royal family is unwilling to set an example… How can the people be convinced?” Miss Qin bowed and said, “For the new law… it’s better for you ladies to get married.”
When the second wife, Mrs. Liu, heard this, she was about to stand up and scold the second daughter of the Qin family, but was stopped by the third wife, Mrs. Li, who shook her head at her.
