The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 134: Unfaithful and unfilial
Chapter 134: Disloyalty and Unfilial Piety
Tears rolled down the corners of the eldest princess’ eyes.
“My father, born as a prince, always led the troops whenever there was news of a war! My mother was often worried and couldn’t sleep at night, and she advised me. My father said… If the country is at war and the people are in trouble, the children of the Bai family have an obligation to lead the troops and sacrifice themselves to protect the people. This is the integrity of the Bai family, just like the black sail and white python flag of the Bai family army, which must never fall, so as to boost morale and eliminate the bandits who invade our Jin people.”
“I am the eldest son, and all 17 of my sons are my brothers. Although they were born at different times, they all have the same aspirations, and there is no difference between them. If anyone asks me what I want in life, I will answer… a peaceful world with tranquility and peace!”
“All the sons of the Bai family have inherited the family spirit. They are loyal, upright, and indomitable. They are not ashamed of the heavens and are not ashamed of others. They repay the support of the people of Dajin with their bodies and protect the people of the border with their lives so that they can survive.”
The common people, nobles and military generals outside the gate had tears in their eyes. Some cried loudly, some wiped their tears with their sleeves, and some stood upright with misty eyes.
The loyalty and righteousness of the Bai family are in the hearts of the people. The heavens and the earth are witnesses to this.
Bai Qingyan read the sacrificial text in a hoarse voice, knelt in front of the brazier with tears in his eyes, and threw the sacrificial text into the fire.
The Grand Princess tilted her head and whispered, “Madam Jiang… bring the person up!”
Someone had to break the mourning basin, and after that… the eldest princess handed the illegitimate son over to Bai Qingyan, and it was up to her to decide whether to kill him or cut him into pieces.
Nanny Jiang nodded and said yes, and shouted to the outside of the mourning hall: “Bring the person in!”
Soon, two burly guards followed the bastard in.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Bai Qingxuan entered the main hall of the mourning hall, before he had time to walk up to the Grand Princess to pay his respects, a team of guards suddenly appeared from nowhere and grabbed Bai Qingxuan and forced him to kneel in the mourning hall.
The sudden tension frightened Nanny Jiang so much that she immediately protected the Grand Princess behind her. The loyal servants around the ladies also made gestures to protect their masters.
Even the generals such as Dong Qingyue who were kneeling outside the door were so shocked that they stood up, pressed the swords at their waists, and were ready to draw their swords and rush in.
The Grand Princess grabbed Nanny Jiang and lifted her arm high to protect her. She looked at Bai Qingyan, who had a cold and calm expression without any surprise. The Grand Princess immediately understood that this was Bai Qingyan’s arrangement.
“Who are you?! What do you want to do?! I am the only grandson of the Bai family! The future king of Zhenguo! You dare to fight with me, don’t you want to live?! Let me go! Otherwise, when I inherit the title of king, I will kill you without a burial place!”
Hearing the bastard’s arrogant shout, the eldest princess trembled and whispered, closed her eyes… and slowly released the hand that was holding Nanny Jiang.
How dare he be so arrogant in front of so many Bai people! This arrogant boy really… deserves to die!
Bai Qingyan’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. He clenched his teeth and looked at Bai Qingxuan coldly, as if he saw rotten meat soaked in poison. Disgust and anger intertwined, and his eyes were deep: “King of the State?! The character “king”… has three horizontal lines and one vertical line. It reaches up to the sky, and has a character of great virtue and glory. It stands on the ground, and can build achievements in comforting the people and stabilizing the country. With you… are you worthy of being called the King of the State?!”
Bai Qingxuan was forced to his knees in the mourning hall. He was very unconvinced. He tried to struggle to get up several times, but was forced back to his knees each time. He gritted his teeth in indignation, but also said with a bit of pride: “Oh… I am the only man in the Duke’s Mansion now! Whether you like it or not! I am the King of Zhenguo! When I inherit the title of king, I want you…” He knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Bai Qingxuan swallowed the rest of the words.
The only thing he relies on is that he is the only male left in the Bai family, so he dares to be so arrogant!
But the eldest princess had someone take him back to the Duke’s Mansion yesterday, and clearly told Nanny Jiang to tell him to respect his eldest sister. He would endure it for the time being, but in the future he would definitely arrange a very… very good home for his eldest sister who could not bear children, so that the humiliation he suffered today would not be in vain!
“What do you want from your elder sister?!” Bai Jinzhi stepped forward gritting his teeth. He was so angry that if the bastard dared to say anything disrespectful, he would be killed immediately!
Bai Qingyan’s eyes swept across the eldest princess, and finally landed on Bai Qingxuan, and said in a cold voice: “What kind of talent and virtue can determine what kind of position you can hold. You have no talent and virtue, no sense of propriety and shame, and are cruel and ruthless, worse than a beast. How can you talk about guarding the country?! It’s fine if you can’t protect the people! Even if you are an upright villain, our Duke’s Mansion will recognize you! But you are cruel and vicious, intending to rape the wife of Ji Tingyu, the benefactor who risked her life to escort the bamboo slips for my Bai family’s loyalty and bravery. Ji Liu refused to obey and died by hitting the pillar, but you destroyed her body and ordered people to drag her body out to feed the dogs! Are you a beast worthy of the surname Bai?! And you dare to call yourself the King of the State?!”
Everyone outside the gate knew Ji Tingyu. On that day, Ji Tingyu broke an arm and fell off his horse covered in blood. He narrowly escaped death and returned the bamboo slips that recorded the march to the Bai family. This… allowed the Duke of Zhenguo to clear his name of being stubborn in using the army, and brought people like Prince Xin to justice!
The people were shocked. What kind of monster was that bastard? The Bai family suddenly encountered such a big funeral. As the only male, he did not show filial piety in front of the coffin, but even forced the woman to do that shameful thing. Not only did he force her to commit suicide, but he also destroyed the body and dragged her out to feed the dogs! After the matter was exposed, he even tried to inherit the throne of the King of Zhengguo! He was not afraid of retribution? Wasn’t he afraid that Ji Liu would turn into a ghost and come to him to take his life? !
The men of the Bai family are all loyal and righteous, how could such an unkind, unjust, disloyal and unfilial beast appear? !
Bai Qingxuan glanced at the indignant people outside the door, and looked towards the Grand Princess in a panic, hoping that she would save him. He was the last male in the Bai family. Bai Qingyan’s public disclosure of this matter made him lose his life, and made the Bai family lose their life? How could my grandmother tolerate this? !
Bai Jintong stepped forward, blocking Bai Qingxuan’s sight of asking his grandmother for help, and looked coldly at the bastard.
Bai Qingxuan was feeling anxious, but he held his head high and said, “I know… you look down on me because I am a concubine’s child! But I am the only bloodline left of King Zhenguo Bai Weiting! The only grandson! How dare you treat me like this?! Aren’t you afraid that your grandfather will die with regrets, and that the Bai family will have no descendants?!”
Bai Jintong said coldly, “If you really want to inherit the title of king, grandpa will die with regret! Which of our Bai family’s descendants has not fought in the battlefield to defend the country before being supported by the people? Grandpa took away all the men of the Bai family to fight on the battlefield, is it just to make way for you, a snake and scorpion worse than an animal, so that you can enjoy the benefits of your ancestors’ merits?!”
The eldest princess was heartbroken and tightly grasped the tiger-head stick in her hand. Seeing this bastard being so arrogant, she felt regretful…
A Bao is right, a beast like this… keeping him here will be a disaster for the Bai family!
