The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 326: Abandon the clan
Chapter 326 Abandoning the Clan
“Could it be that before…the Bai family of Dadu City really didn’t know what the Bai family of Shuoyang had done?”
In the past, the people of Shuoyang always heard outsiders talk about how upright, loyal, and righteous the Duke of Zhenguo, Bai Weiting, was, and most of the people of Shuoyang would sneer when they heard such talk.
Later, the news of Bai Qingyan punishing the illegitimate son on the long street of the capital city and listing the achievements of the Bai family at the palace banquet spread to Shuoyang. Only a small number of people in Shuoyang city praised the Bai family’s love for the people that has been passed down from generation to generation, but the people who had been bullied by the Bai clan…most of them hated the Bai clan and the Bai family, and believed that it was just a show performed by the Bai family!
Even when the news of the death of all the men in the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion came, some people secretly praised it behind their backs.
But now, looking at the uprightness and honesty of the Princess Zhenguo, it seems that one can imagine the character of the Duke Zhenguo Bai Weiting. Perhaps the Bai family in the capital city really does not know what the Shuoyang Bai clan has done.
“Whether the Bai family in the capital city has been deceived depends on whether that dog official surnamed Zhou will handle it impartially, and whether that princess who guards the country will let the Bai family return other people’s things!”
After Bai Qingyan left, the situation in Shuoyang City changed dramatically. County Magistrate Zhou seemed like a different person. He not only arrested all the young masters of the Bai clan who had caused trouble in Tianxiang Tower today, but also sent police officers to the Bai family to capture several young masters and managers who had committed murders and abducted women.
The Shuoyang Bai clan was in chaos, and several women cried and went to the clan leader with their husbands.
“Chief! Chief, something bad has happened! Someone from the county magistrate’s office has arrested my Ah Jin!”
“That bailiff rushed into our house and arrested our Arong without saying a word! Chief… please help us get our child back!”
At this time, the clan leader was also in a dilemma. Bai Qiyun personally brought generous gifts to County Magistrate Zhou and begged Lord Zhou to release Bai Qingjie and others. However, he didn’t even see County Magistrate Zhou.
County Magistrate Zhou sent someone to tell Bai Qiyun that Bai Qiyun had deceived him for many years and it was time to settle the accounts.
Bai Qiyun was confused at first, but when he came back and talked to the clan leader about it, the clan leader slumped in his chair. For some reason, he suddenly remembered what Bai Jinzhi had said before he left, asking him to keep a good attitude and not to ask for help in front of Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan actually made a fuss!
But you can’t write two Bai characters with one stroke. The Shuoyang Bai family and the Dadu City Bai family are blood-related. They prosper together and suffer together. How dare she, Bai Qingyan? !
Even Bai Qingyan’s grandfather, Bai Weiting, would not dare to do such a thing that would bring shame to the clan. How could she, a little girl… be so bold?
Didn’t she think about her future? Didn’t she think about who would take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life, other than the clan? Would she still be worshipped by the clan after she died?
But… these are the only two points that the clan can use to control Bai Qingyan, and the clan has to rely on Bai Qingyan’s prestige as a princess to run rampant in Shuoyang City.
“Brother! Brother!”
The clan leader’s younger brother, Master Bai Wu, also rushed in with his weeping wife: “Brother! Liang’er has been captured by the government!”
When the Fifth Master saw Bai Qiyun, he said anxiously, “It was County Magistrate Zhou, who was on good terms with Qiyun, who sent people to arrest Liang’er! Qiyun…did you offend County Magistrate Zhou? That’s why County Magistrate Zhou is targeting my Liang’er?”
The clan leader was furious when he saw his brother, the Fifth Master. “How dare you say that! If you, a bastard, hadn’t occupied the ancestral home of the direct lineage, would it have gotten to this point? How dare you ask if Qi Yun offended County Magistrate Zhou! It was you who offended Bai Qingyan, and all the other descendants of the Bai family were implicated by you, a bastard!”
The Fifth Master’s face turned pale and blue: “But big brother, I occupied the ancestral house… It was you who agreed to it!”
The clan leader glared in the direction of the Fifth Master, who avoided the clan leader’s sight with embarrassment, sat down on the chair, and slammed the table in anger: “This Bai Qingyan is a piece of shit!”
The Fifth Master said angrily, “Last time Qi Yun was robbed by bandits, they didn’t care! This time they even caused our younger generation to be arrested! Most of them are from the Bai family and there are no male heirs. Logically, all the family property should be transferred to the family. I even left them half of the property to live in, but they turned their backs on me!”
“Uncle Wu, since you think the ancestral house should be incorporated into the clan, why didn’t you tell the clan earlier? You had to wait until the ancestral house was renovated and then quietly moved in. No one in our clan knew about it? So, by incorporating it into the clan, your family was taking advantage? Look what’s going on now… your family is taking the advantage! But our children have to bear the blame! Why?!” A powerful woman shouted at Master Wu.
When the patriarch heard the woman’s sharp, high-pitched voice, his head began to buzz and he knocked the floor hard with his cane.
“What are you arguing about! Now is not the time to figure out who is right or wrong. We need to find a way to rescue the children!”
“Yes! What the clan leader said is true. We must find a way to rescue the children as soon as possible!” The clan leader’s daughter-in-law covered her mouth with a handkerchief and cried out, “Our Bai family’s children have never suffered such hardships! What a sin!”
“That’s right! Patriarch, we must ask the Bai family in the capital to give an explanation and release the people for us! And she must also compensate us children for the suffering they have endured in prison, otherwise… don’t blame me for being rude to them!” The Fifth Master gritted his teeth.
Bai Qingping, who had been standing at the door, gritted his teeth, feeling extremely disappointed with his grandfather and family members.
He lifted the curtain and walked in holding onto the door frame, saying, “The children of the Bai family in the capital city go to the battlefield to train when they turn ten. The cousins eat, drink and have fun all day, bully the people in the village. Now they are just going to jail to atone for their wrongdoings. Why can’t they do that?! The elders don’t reflect on themselves, but instead are here to discuss how to threaten the Princess of the State to save people… and compensate you?!”
Bai Qingping’s heart was in turmoil. When did his people become so greedy, selfish, arrogant, and stupid? So stupid that it made his scalp tingle and he was heartbroken.
Bai Qingping glanced at the elders in the room who were stunned by his roar: “Grandfather and all the elders of the clan, don’t you know what the clan did wrong?!”
“The reason why the Shuoyang Bai family can be so overbearing in Shuoyang is entirely because the Dadu Bai family is in power! This incident is a wake-up call! The Princess Zhenguo asked my grandfather for the house deed that should have belonged to the Dadu Bai family, but my grandfather refused to give it to her, so… the Princess Zhenguo will not let the Shuoyang Bai family borrow the power of the Dadu Bai family anymore! This is a warning from the Princess Zhenguo to the clan. If the people in the clan don’t know their place, the Princess Zhenguo will completely abandon the clan. Then… just wait and see what our clan will become!”
