The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 348 Ancestral
“My grandmother is the Grand Princess! My elder sister is the Princess of the State, yet you have bullied her to such an extent! My grandmother was forced to vomit blood and faint! I, Bai Jinzhi, am making this clear today. If anything happens to my grandmother, even if I sacrifice my life, I will make sure that you, the shameless, greedy, and heartless villains… will not leave the capital alive!”
After Bai Jinzhi finished speaking, he shouted again: “Housekeeper Hao! From today on, if these people from the clan dare to come to our house… or cause trouble in front of our house, no more mercy! Let the government take them all away and put them in jail on the grounds of gathering a crowd to cause trouble!”
“Yes!” Butler Hao responded respectfully.
Bai Jinzhi held a long whip in his hand, pointed at the people of the clan, turned around and walked in.
Steward Hao looked coldly at the dumbfounded clan members and ordered, “If you don’t leave, I will send someone to ask the government officials to come and arrest you!”
The people looked at the blushing members of the Shuoyang Bai clan and were horrified and talked about it a lot.
“This Shuoyang clan is too arrogant. They even made the Grand Princess so angry that she vomited blood!”
“Yesterday, it was said that the Princess Zhenguo would not help the descendants of the clan, but would leave the clan. I thought that the Princess Zhenguo would go back to Shuoyang, why is she still so arrogant and does not want the help of the clan cousins in the future? I didn’t expect… It turned out that the Princess Zhenguo was asking the local officials to release the murderer! No wonder the Princess Zhenguo didn’t help!”
“Ah! The Bai family is too kind. Even the Grand Princess was so angry that she vomited blood, but they didn’t allow people to arrest these ruthless people. They actually let them go!”
“That’s right. The last time the fourth young lady of the Bai family was beaten, wasn’t it because she whipped a group of people who took money from others and deliberately came to cause trouble, that’s why she was punished!”
“The Bai family is so arrogant, and this happened in Dadu. It has already made the Grand Princess vomit blood. In the future… I don’t know how they will bully the orphans and widows of the Bai family in Dadu. If the clan leader is like this, it’s better for him to leave the clan!”
“What do you know!” An elder of the clan explained anxiously, “The eldest princess didn’t…”
The patriarch grabbed the elder’s hand and stopped him from speaking any further.
Even if she said it, no one would believe it. The daughter of the late emperor and the current princess would pretend to vomit blood in order to deal with the clan. Others would only think that the clan members would tell any lie to shirk their guilt.
The clan leader shook his head. If the eldest princess took action… the clan’s reputation for arrogance and arrogance would spread quickly, and the children in prison now might not be able to be rescued.
Thinking of the oath Bai Qingyan made in Shuoyang, if those clan members were not expelled from the clan, Bai Qingyan would leave the clan…
Just as the Grand Princess said, without the protection of the Princess Zhenguo, the clan bullied the orphans and widows of the Bai family in Dadu. The news that the Grand Princess was so angry that she vomited blood spread to the officialdom. People in the officialdom acted according to the wind, and the Bai clan was doomed!
However, if they really wanted to expel those children from the clan, and the clan leader’s grandson Bai Qingjie was among them, how could the clan leader bear to do that? !
“Chief, what should we do now?” asked an elder.
The clan leader gritted his teeth, looked at the guards and housekeeper Hao who were guarding the gate of the Zhenguo Princess’s Mansion, and said, “Let’s go back to Shuoyang first and make plans after discussion.”

Soon, Mrs. Dong, the second wife Mrs. Liu, the third wife Mrs. Li, and the fourth wife Mrs. Wang all rushed to Changshouyuan after hearing the news. Although Mrs. Qi, the fifth wife, did not come in person during her confinement, she sent the managing nanny, Nanny Zhai, to visit in person.
The fifth girl Bai Jinzhao, the sixth girl Bai Jinhua and the seventh girl Bai Jinse also hurried over. Upon hearing the news, Miss Lu came over with her medicine box, looking very anxious.
Bai Qingyan watched from the side and felt that his grandmother did not hide anything from Miss Lu. He told Miss Lu about this matter. Miss Lu looked dazed and said, “If mother-in-law trusts me, I can give her acupuncture. Although it will make her a little nervous, it can be hidden from the imperial physician. After the imperial physician leaves, I can give her acupuncture to relieve the symptoms…”
Seeing the eldest princess nod, Miss Lu washed her hands, opened the medicine box, took out the golden needles, and burned them with fire.
Bai Qingyan carefully looked at Miss Lu who was giving acupuncture to the Grand Princess and asked, “Aunt, the set of golden needles you are using looks like they were handed down from our ancestors?”
Miss Lu didn’t expect Bai Qingyan to call her aunt. She was slightly surprised and then smiled, “It’s an heirloom. This was given to my mother by my grandfather before she got married, and my mother later gave it to me. However, my grandfather’s family does have a set of golden needles that have been passed down for generations.”
Bai Qingyan nodded and stopped asking questions. He stepped aside and looked at Fourth Aunt Wang, who was flipping the Buddhist beads in her hand and chanting Buddhist scriptures, praying to God to bless her grandmother. He raised his hand and stroked the letter that she had hidden in her heart.
When the Imperial Hospital heard the news that the Grand Princess had been forced to vomit blood by the Bai family’s Shuoyang clan, Imperial Doctor Huang rushed over with three national experts.
Miss Lu was waiting on the side, talking to the other masters of the Imperial Hospital about the daily habits of the Grand Princess. She gave a detailed description of what the Grand Princess had eaten and used recently, and discussed with the imperial doctors how to prescribe medicine for the Grand Princess. Imperial Doctor Huang looked at Miss Lu with great admiration, and felt that… this girl’s medical skills were by no means inferior to theirs.
Doctor Huang couldn’t help but think of the rumor that Miss Lu was the reincarnation of Bai Suqiu. Then, looking at Miss Lu who was discussing the prescription with the other doctors, she had a simple and elegant temperament, which was exactly the same as Bai Suqiu, the beloved disciple of his senior brother Doctor Hong. No wonder the Grand Princess thought she was the reincarnation of Bai Suqiu.
That’s right. Now that all the children born to the Grand Princess are gone, she has to find someone to rely on.
Imperial Physician Huang prescribed some medicine and told Miss Lu how to decoct it and what dosage to use. Mrs. Dong sent all the imperial physicians out of Changshouyuan and ordered Nanny Qin to send them out personally.
Miss Lu gave the eldest princess acupuncture again, and after she settled her down, she turned around and bowed to the Dong family’s wives and said, “I will take care of my stepmother here, and you sisters-in-law should go back and rest. After all, it’s not suitable for too many people here.”
The eldest princess leaned against the pillow, fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand and said, “Let’s all go back.”
“Mother, I’d better stay to take care of grandmother and learn medicine from my aunt.” Bai Jinse bowed to Dong.
Mrs. Dong nodded: “Okay…thank you for your hard work!”
“It is Jinse’s duty to be filial in front of grandma. How dare I say it is hard work?” Bai Jinse said hurriedly.
After everyone bowed to the Grand Princess, they left the Changshou Courtyard. Dong frowned and said to Bai Qing with a worried look on her face, “Isn’t your iron sandbag too heavy?”
“It’s not bad. Abao knows his limits and won’t hurt himself. Don’t worry, mother.” Bai Qingyan sent Dong to the intersection, bowed and watched Dong leave, and said to Chuntao, “Let’s go… go see Fourth Aunt.”
The maid who was sweeping the gate of Lishui Garden saw Bai Qingyan coming towards their yard, and hurried into the house to report to Nanny Guan.
