The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 365 Life
The news that Princess Zhenguo Bai Qingyan ordered her palace guards to drag the left prime minister Li Mao’s young son out of Huamanlou and beat him half to death spread throughout the capital city in less than half an hour.
Lu Yuanpeng, who had been lying in bed unwilling to get up, sat up in shock upon hearing the news.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Sima Ping: “What did you say?! Is this true?! Did the Bai family’s sister really deal with that shameless Li Mingtang?”
“How could I lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes! I was just too far away… I didn’t hear what Sister Bai said to the Left Prime Minister!” Sima Ping spoke very quickly, “The last time the Crown Prince married a concubine, Sister Bai’s sword… was so fast that I couldn’t see it clearly! So heroic! Today, she didn’t even get off the carriage in front of the Left Prime Minister. She is so bold and courageous. She is worthy of being the granddaughter of the King of Zhenguo and the Grand Princess. She is different from those boudoir girls in this metropolitan city who think they are ladies from wealthy families!”
Lu Yuanpeng chuckled, straightened his back, and his expression inevitably trembled: “Sister Bai still loves me! Sister Bai must know that Li Mingtang bullied me!”
Sima Ping did not hear what Lu Yuanpeng said next. His mind was full of Bai Qingyan who was standing high above the carriage. She was clearly a weak woman, but she seemed to have the strength to move mountains and cross seas. She was so arrogant and majestic that no one dared to look at her closely.
Sima Ping couldn’t help but think of the late King Zhenguo and the Duke Zhenguo. Such a fierce yet restrained spirit could only be possessed by someone who had fought in bloody battles on the battlefield, experienced hundreds of battles, and stood tall and fearless of life and death.
“Yuan Peng… I have decided. On the 25th of this month, I will go to southern Xinjiang with you and join the Bai family army under an assumed name!” Sima Ping suddenly said this.
Hearing this, Lu Yuanpeng jumped up from the carved wooden bed in fright, rushed to the window in his slippers, stretched his head out and looked around, then slammed the window shut and shouted at Sima Ping in a low voice: “Keep your voice down! Keep your voice down! Just go, why are you yelling? If my parents or grandparents find out, neither of us can leave!”
“You can’t leave, but I can!” Sima Ping came back to his senses, looked at the nervous Lv Yuanpeng with a half-smile, sat down on the couch by the window, crossed his legs, picked up the teacup, drank a sip slowly, and then said, “My father originally hoped that my eldest brother would enter the government and my second brother would join the army, so I… have been a playboy with you! Now if I can do something serious, my father will be so happy!”
“Then you can’t harm me!” Lu Yuanpeng also sat down on the couch and rolled his eyes at Sima Ping. “With my parents’ temper, if they knew… they would lock me up at home! And my grandfather… if he knew that I was going to join the Bai family army, he would skin me alive!”
As soon as Lv Yuanpeng finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Lv Yuanqing, wearing a moon-white dress with a cloud-patterned border, stepped into the room and asked with a stern face, “Do you want to join the Bai family army?”
Lu Yuanpeng was so frightened that he trembled all over. When he saw his serious brother, his throat was churning and the word “finished” was all he could think of.
Sima Ping was also very scared of Lv Yuanqing, who was always known as a cold-faced gentleman. He was so scared that he put down his crossed legs, stood up, bowed respectfully, and said awkwardly: “Well, Brother Yuanqing… I’ll leave first!”
Sima Ping hurriedly walked around Lu Yuanqing and trotted out of Lu’s mansion.
Lu Yuanpeng laughed dryly at his brother. Seeing Lu Yuanqing walking towards him, he slid down from the couch and knelt on the ground without any backbone: “Brother! Good brother…please don’t tell Weng Weng, I just said it casually!”
Seeing that Lu Yuanqing was still walking, Lu Yuanpeng quickly covered his ears with both hands and shrank his neck, fearing that Lu Yuanqing would pull his ears again.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuanqing had no intention of pulling his ears at all. He quickly walked around him and opened the cabinet door.
In the red lacquered wooden cabinet lay Lu Yuanpeng’s packed bag.
Lu Yuanqing turned his head and looked at Lu Yuanpeng deeply, then raised his hand to take out the bag.
Lu Yuanpeng immediately rushed over and held down his bag: “Brother! It’s meaningless if you do this! Isn’t it enough that I promised you that I won’t go?!”
Lu Yuanqing pushed Lu Yuanpeng away. Lu Yuanpeng tried to grab the bag, but Lu Yuanqing pointed his finger and Lu Yuanpeng just stood there dejectedly, not daring to move forward. He could only watch his brother untie his bag.
In the bundle were several pieces of Lu Yuanpeng’s clothes, as well as a handful of banknotes and small change.
Lv Yuanqing picked up the wrinkled clothes that Lv Yuanpeng had folded and said, “You want to hide your identity by taking these clothes with you?”
What Lu Yuanpeng stuffed into his bag were all the clothes that he liked to wear on a daily basis. Not only were the workmanship and embroidery exquisite, but the fabrics were also luxurious. Only noble families would use this kind of material to make clothes.
“Even the clothes worn by servants in our Lu family are rarely seen among ordinary people! If you want to hide your identity…” Lu Yuanqing took the banknotes from Lu Yuanpeng, “You can’t take these! Change your clothes into ordinary people’s clothes!”
Lu Yuanpeng looked at his brother in surprise: “Brother, do you mean…you won’t tell Weng Weng?”
“Pack your luggage for traveling and bring it to me for review. There’s no need to rush the trip, just set it after your grandmother’s birthday in June. Otherwise…if you dare to run away secretly, I’ll send someone to capture you and break your legs! Do you remember?” Lu Yuanqing asked with a cold face.
“Remember! Remember! Don’t worry, brother!” Lu Yuanpeng hurriedly stepped forward, carefully took his bag and held it in his arms, grinning at Lu Yuanqing.
Lu Yuanqing looked at his stupid brother as if he was a fool, sighed and left.
After Lu Yuanqing left, Lu Yuanpeng finally realized that his brother…had taken away all the money he had saved for so many years?

Li Mansion.
In Li Mingtang’s yard, maids brought in basins of hot water and brought out basins of water stained red with blood.
The wife of the Left Prime Minister was hysterically shouting at her son’s cries and Li Mingtang’s screams.
The servants in the Li Mansion were so frightened that they dared not even breathe. They worked quietly with their heads lowered, fearing that they would be implicated accidentally.
Li Mingtang’s legs are considered useless.
But what the Left Prime Minister Li Mao is worried about now is not his son’s leg, but the lives of his entire family… and even his entire nine clans!
Thinking of Bai Qingyan’s cold eyes before he left…
Thinking of her words that he should find a way to explain the matter before sunset and not to hurt the Bai family, otherwise their entire family would have to clean their necks and wait to explain those letters to His Majesty and the King of Hell, the Left Prime Minister felt a chill down his spine.
What kind of logic is this? His son’s legs were broken, and he still had to figure out how to explain it!
The Left Prime Minister closed his eyes and shook his head almost inaudibly, insisting on not making any more noise.
He clenched his fists, suppressing his anger and fear.

Lu Yuanpeng: Brother-in-law!
Bai Xiaoshi: …
