The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 336: No mercy
Chapter 336 No Tolerance
Ever since all the men of the Bai family were killed in southern Xinjiang, conspiracies and disasters have occurred one after another. The Bai family is in danger of extinction and has already reached the point of extinction.
If it weren’t for her daughter’s painstaking efforts, it would be hard to say whether the Bai family exists now. She doesn’t expect the clan to share weal and woe with her, but she can’t let this group of greedy and insatiable people hold her daughter back and tarnish her reputation.
The clan leader stood up in shock: “Qishan’s wife! What do you mean by this?! Do you still want to return to Shuoyang?! Do you still recognize the clan?!”
“In that case, it doesn’t matter if the clan refuses to recognize him!” Bai Qingyan said slowly, stood up and smoothed the wrinkles on the hem of his clothes, as if he was about to leave.
“Stop!” The clan leader was so angry that his whole body was shaking. “The clan just needed you to say a word to help them, but you acted like this. Since you have already sworn not to marry again, will you not be worshipped by the clan even after a hundred years?”
“Incense? My grandfather and father didn’t dare to eat incense, how dare I?” Bai Qingyan turned around, looking deeply at the clan leader with cold and quiet eyes, “Clan leader, please remember that I am not an ordinary girl. I am the descendant of the king of the Baijia Town in the capital city. Following my grandfather’s will, I will lead the troops and sacrifice my life to protect the people when the country is at war and the people are in trouble. I will eat the taxes of the people when I am alive and receive the incense of the people when I die! Why do I need a clan?”
The elders looked at each other, looking at the proud Bai Qingyan, their throats churning. The Princess who guards the country has a rank and a salary, and Bai Qingyan is also a good fighter. At the beginning, the war to destroy Shu was highly sought after among the people.
“Clan leader, we are here to ask the princess for help, how can you make things so ugly?” An elder wanted to act as a peacemaker and said hurriedly, “Princess, the clan leader is just like this. In fact, the clan leader didn’t mean it that way. The Bai clan has always been united. We thought… it was just a matter of the princess saying hello to County Magistrate Zhou. The noble families around here will also help the clan members in this way!”
“In Shuoyang, I thought I had made my words clear. Since all the elders are here today, I will say it again.” Bai Qingyan said calmly, “I have sworn to the people of Shuoyang that no matter which member of the Shuoyang Bai clan is found to have bullied the people by relying on the power of the Bai family in Dadu, once verified, I will ask the clan leader to expel that person from the clan and compensate the people who have been bullied. If the clan leader does not allow the expulsion of those who are unworthy of being the descendants of the Bai family, the Dadu Bai family will expel themselves from the clan and have nothing to do with the Shuoyang Bai clan anymore!”
Bai Qingyan’s cold eyes swept over the horrified elders: “I have already informed County Magistrate Zhou. Debts must be paid, and murder must be punished! Punishment shall be in accordance with the law, no leniency!”
“You…you…” The patriarch pointed at Bai Qingyan with trembling hands.
The elders of the clan all had descendants imprisoned, and they were furious when they heard this.
“Princess Zhenguo, as a descendant of the Bai family, you don’t help the clan, but you actually harm the clan! Do you still have a conscience?!”
“Conscience?!” Mrs. Dong’s eyes were cold and solemn. “You should first ask the clan if they have conscience! The Dadu Bai family has done their utmost for the clan, but the clan is greedy and greedy! They bully the people with the power of the Dadu Bai family and tarnish my son’s reputation. Now they want my son to help them but they speak ill of them! I have never seen such a shameless and despicable person in my life! Having such a clan… is a shame for my Dadu Bai family!”
As soon as Dong finished speaking, Lupin arrived with the aggressive guards.
Lupin stood at the door, clasping his fists with a stern face: “Madam! Princess!”
“Don’t be angry, mother.” Bai Qingyan took Dong’s arm and looked at the elders and said, “I’ve already said this. In early May, all the Bai family members in Dadu will return to Shuoyang. If the clan leader does not expel those who commit crimes and violate the law from the clan, I will report the crime to my ancestors and to the heaven and earth… From now on, the Bai family in Dadu will have nothing to do with the Shuoyang clan!”
Bai Qingyan’s eyes were calm and unperturbed: “At that time…if there are common people who want to seek revenge, the clan must not bring shame upon themselves and come to my Bai family for help.”
After saying that, Bai Qingyan helped Dong walk out, his voice was very low, with a faint smile: “It’s not worth it for mother to be angry with herself.”
“Too shameless! They are really going too far!” Dong’s heart was beating wildly. She didn’t forget to curse as she stepped out of the door, “They have no sense of shame, they are not human! Lupin, kick them out! There is no need to save their face.”
They dared to smear Bai Qingyan’s reputation and lied that Bai Qingyan had an affair with the prince to justify their evil deeds. This not only touched Dong’s sore spot, but also touched Dong’s sore spot.
Thinking about what the clan had done over the years, it was a great measure of self-control that Dong did not let Lupin chop those shameless old men into pieces alive.
“Ridiculous! Ridiculous! The Dong family has gone too far! Too far!” The patriarch’s cane pounded the bluestone floor loudly, his face turning red with anger.
Lupin, holding the sword at his waist, led a team of guards into the main hall and said with a stern face, “Take him out!”
“Yes!” The guards shouted in unison and marched in line.
Several elders were startled, their eyes widened, and they huddled together, shouting, “What do you want to do?!”
Amid the screams of the clan leader and several clan elders, the Bai family guards actually lifted the clan elders into the air and walked towards the main gate of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion.
“What are you doing! I am the patriarch of the Bai clan!”
“Bai Qingyan, you don’t leave yourself any way out. Aren’t you afraid that one day you will come to us for help?!”
“Dong! How dare you treat the elders of the clan like this? Aren’t you afraid of being despised by the world?”
“If you don’t give face to the clan like this, everyone in the capital and the world will know that you are villains who betrayed the clan! Will you still be able to live as human beings in the future?!”
Bai Qingyan was walking back along the corridor with Dong, who was shaking with anger, when she heard the clan members shouting and cursing. She paused and turned her head to call out, “Madam Tong.”
Nanny Tong responded and stepped forward.
“Please ask Madam Tong to tell Steward Liu to quickly send someone to spread the news of the Bai clan’s actions in Shuoyang throughout the capital, including the fact that the Shuoyang Bai clan defamed my reputation and that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and helped them commit crimes.”
“Tell Butler Hao again… find a way to get the elders of the Shuoyang clan to make a scene outside the gate. The bigger the scene, the better! Just say that I, Bai Qingyan, would rather confess my crime to my ancestors and have the women of the Bai family expelled from the clan than use my status as a princess to force the Shuoyang officials to release the Bai clan members who are causing trouble for the people!”
“Even the emperor who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as the common people. Why should the people of the Shuoyang Bai clan be an exception? Debts must be paid, and murder must be punished! The punishment shall be in accordance with the law. If the local officials are lenient, I, Bai Qingyan, will report it to the heavens and will definitely bring justice to the people!”
