The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 139: Dressed beast
Chapter 139: Beast in Human Clothes
Hearing Miss Bai insulting King Liang, Tong Ji could no longer bear it. He endured the pain in his heart and shouted with his neck stiff, “You are just an old woman who can’t have children. Our prince loves you… It’s your blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes! In this capital city… Apart from our prince, who else would go to such lengths to marry you! Our prince loves you so deeply?! How could you be so ungrateful!”
She sneered and said, “It’s fine as long as Tong Ji admits it.”
Her voice was cold and calm, “Didn’t I make it clear enough in front of my Bai Mansion that day? Even though Prince Liang is a prince, I, Bai Qingyan, despise his mean behavior. I would rather marry him than a pig or a dog! Prince Liang not only did not reflect on himself, but became even worse, his methods became more and more dirty. Does he still have any sense of shame? He is simply a beast in human clothing!”
When Tong Ji heard Bai Qing scolding King Liang, he was furious, his eyes were bloodshot, and he shouted at the top of his lungs: “How dare you call our Highness a beast in human clothing! I think you are even more heartless than a pig or a dog! You are not worthy of our Highness at all!”
“I’ll beat you to death for being such a spit-mouth…”
Just as Bai Jinzhi was about to step forward and curse, Bai Jinxiu held him tightly. Bai Jinxiu spoke in a clear and slow voice: “Since you think my elder sister is not worthy of King Liang, my elder sister also despises your King Liang! Why did you make this trip for King Liang, doing such a sinister thing to destroy his reputation? You did it… This is unrighteous! As a servant of King Liang, you don’t know how to persuade your master to act uprightly, but instead help the tyrant to commit atrocities. This is disloyalty! Such an unfaithful and unrighteous person… What qualifications do you have to insult my elder sister?!”
“The eldest princess… the eldest lady!” Chunyan cried out, “Your Highness is sincere to the eldest lady! I beg the eldest princess and the eldest lady to understand! This is all for the eldest lady’s future! It’s hard for the eldest lady to have children, who in this noble family in the capital city would be willing to marry such a wife?! Only Your Highness… No matter how prominent the Duke’s Mansion is, or how all the male members of the Duke’s Mansion are gone, Your Highness has never changed his infatuation with the eldest lady! The eldest lady, think about it carefully, in the capital city, except for Your Highness… who else can be so attentive to the eldest lady!”
Such deep affection, such painstaking efforts, just to marry his beloved, just as Chunyan said… Even though the Duke’s Mansion is no longer glorious, the King of Liang still has the same original intention towards Miss Bai, this… should be considered deep affection, right? !
Those people who are soft-hearted have been moved.
“What a scheming King Liang is! I didn’t know there are people in the world who regard dirty behavior as deep affection!” Dong Qingyue’s eyes were full of anger.
“From what you said, as long as someone is willing to use some means for my elder sister, I have to thank him for his deep affection. No matter what he does, even if it is to destroy my elder sister’s reputation and force her to marry him in the name of my grandfather, my elder sister has to be grateful and obedient? Whose logic is this?!” Bai Jintong was filled with anger, and the tail of his voice kept rising.
“You, King Liang, would not take the upright path of inviting a matchmaker to come to your house, but you insist on doing such mean things over and over again. You even dare to ask my son to marry you as his principal wife! This is simply the greatest absurdity in the world!” Mrs. Dong could no longer hold back her anger, “Did my Bai family ever stop your matchmaker?! To defame someone’s reputation is like killing someone. Such infatuation… my son really can’t afford it!”
Bai Jinzhi recalled what Bai Qingyan had said in the carriage, shook off Bai Jinxiu’s hand, and snatched the unopened letters from Chunyan’s hand: “I want to see how Prince Liang expressed his feelings to my elder sister in this letter, and why he won’t let me open it!”
As he spoke, Bai Jinzhi had already torn open one of the letters and read: “Lord Zhenguogong, I have received your letter. The southern border of Jin State is deploying troops…”
“This isn’t a love letter to my elder sister!” Bai Jinzhi suddenly thought of what her elder sister said in the carriage. She looked up at the eldest princess and Bai Qingyan with her round eyes, “Prince Liang…he wanted to frame my grandfather for treason, so he asked Chunyan to put the letter in my grandfather’s study!”
Bai Qingyan looked at Chunyan, who was crying breathlessly, with a cold gaze. He clenched his teeth and said, “Keep reading!”
“My king is aware of the deployment of troops in the southern border of Jin State, and has sent General Wang Yuanzhe to discuss the major plan with General Yun Poxing of Xiliang… After reading the letter written by the Duke of Zhenguo, I will return it intact. I hope the Duke of Zhenguo can rest assured. We will never leave any trouble for him.”
After reading it, Bai Jinzhi indeed found another letter in the envelope, but… it was not the Duke’s handwritten letter.
“Grandma! There’s a letter attached to this…but it’s not grandpa’s handwriting at all!” Bai Jinzhi said.
The eldest princess’s hands were shaking: “Bring…bring the letter here!”
Bai Jinzhi took two steps at a time and delivered the letter to the Grand Princess.
“This… This is the handwriting of Emperor Gaozu?!” The eldest princess was a legitimate princess of the royal family. Naturally, she had seen the handwriting of Emperor Gaozu, which was extremely rare in the palace.
After the Grand Princess read the so-called handwritten letter from the Duke, Bai Qingyan also took it… As Bai Qingyan expected, the letter was actually written by Emperor Gaozu.
Prince Liang really didn’t let her down!
The letter not only told the Prince of Nanyan how her grandfather, the “Duke of Zhenguo”, would deploy troops in detail, but also stated that this time he brought seventeen sons to the battlefield in order to keep the military power firmly in the hands of the Bai family and make the Bai family the uncrowned king of Jin.
Every word and sentence hit the nail on the head about the emperor’s suspicion of the Bai family. No wonder… in the previous life, the emperor issued an order to punish the Bai family with such a thundering force.
Her blood boiled in her heart, and she knelt down to the eldest princess, “Grandmother, the night before my second sister got married, Prince Liang asked Chunyan to invite me to see him on the pretext of asking for the military book annotated by my grandfather. What I gave Prince Liang was the military book annotated by Emperor Gaozu himself. I hope Prince Liang knows that my Bai family does not want to have anything to do with Prince Liang! The servant beside Prince Liang has already admitted it just now. I wonder… whether Prince Liang misunderstood that it was my grandfather’s handwriting and imitated it to harm my Bai family!”
Her eyes were filled with tears. “Everyone says that King Liang is weak and incompetent, but his actions… How can he be incompetent?! King Liang is not forcing a marriage, but to overthrow my entire Bai family! What hatred does my Bai family have with King Liang? He is so cruel and ruthless to do this! All the men in my Bai family died for the country, but he wanted to frame the Bai family heroes for treason! He also wanted to take the life of my Bai family widow! Fortunately, Yin Shuang discovered Chunyan’s secret meeting with King Liang’s servant today, otherwise… the consequences would be disastrous!”
This matter is too big!
It was so serious that the blood in the Grand Princess’ heart ran cold!
If Nanny Tong had not discovered Chunyan’s secret meeting with Prince Liang’s servant and arrested them both today, as long as these letters reached the Duke’s Mansion, then… the Duke’s Mansion would not be able to explain itself even if it had a mouth!
The people on the street were also shocked. What a vicious King Liang!
Xiao Rongyan: I watched my wife perform from afar.
Lu Yuanpeng: Brother Xiao, I can lend you my clairvoyance. It can see very clearly!
Xiao Rongyan: Do not look at anything inappropriate!
Lu Yuanpeng: Brother Xiao is really strict with others but lenient with himself. I admire you!
