The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 366: confident
Chapter 366: Confident
Bai Qingyan is ruthless and decisive. If he cannot handle this matter properly, I am afraid that Bai Qingyan will really hand the letter to His Majesty.
After all, handing over those letters would be a great achievement for the Bai family, but it would bring disaster to the entire Li family.
The two aides under the Left Prime Minister were also greatly surprised. They did not expect that Princess Zhenguo would act so ruthlessly and leave no room for any mercy.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. The Princess Zhenguo holds the power over the Left Prime Minister and is the one who could burn and kill 100,000 surrendered prisoners without blinking an eye. How could she swallow her anger and come to bargain with the Left Prime Minister?
It seems that originally, Princess Zhenguo just didn’t want the Left Prime Minister to help Prince Liang, who had intended to frame Prince Zhenguo. As a result, they tested Princess Gaoyi’s lifelong affairs and angered Princess Zhenguo.
If this happened to them, they would also be furious if the man set his sights on their own sister right after they had just given him a warning.
I’m afraid that Princess Zhenguo will think that the Left Prime Minister is looking for trouble and will naturally act without mercy.
Their mistake was to treat Princess Zhenguo as an ordinary girl from the capital city. But Princess Zhenguo was a person who commanded thousands of troops on the battlefield and had the final say.
The blue-shirted aide rubbed his hands repeatedly, his expression slightly anxious: “The Zhenguo Princess asked for a clear explanation before sunset, but how to explain that the Zhenguo Princess broke the Sixth Young Master’s leg? And she mobilized so many troops, blocked the Left Prime Minister’s way down from the court, and threw the bloody Sixth Young Master in front of the Left Prime Minister’s carriage. No matter how you look at it, it’s too outrageous!”
The white-robed aide frowned, thought for a while, raised his head and said: “For now, the only solution is to inconvenience the Sixth Young Master!”
“How do you feel wronged?” Li Mao asked.
To Li Mao, his son’s grievances and even his life…are not more important than the lives of his entire family, or the lives of his entire clan.
“Prime Minister, why don’t we make public what the Sixth Young Master did last month?” The white-clothed aide said solemnly, “The Bai family is known for loving the people like their own children. The Sixth Young Master made a mistake, the Left Prime Minister’s wife helped to clean up the mess, and the Princess Zhenguo exposed it for the sake of justice. Of course, it will inevitably be reported to the Censorate, but this is far better than having those letters sent to Your Majesty.”
Li Mao’s face turned pale and he thought carefully with a serious expression.
Seeing that Li Mao did not refuse, the white-clothed aide said, “If the Prime Minister has made up his mind, he should go to the palace to see the emperor and claim that he did not teach his son well. After the accident, the wife concealed the truth from the Prime Minister and handled the matter on her own. If the victim had not had nowhere to turn to, and had not met the Princess Zhenguo by chance, and the Princess Zhenguo had found out the truth, she would not have done what she did today…”
“That’s not right!” The blue-shirted aide said seriously, “The Princess Zhenguo requested that the Bai family not be harmed, but if that’s the case… the people will discuss why the Princess Zhenguo didn’t hand over the evidence to the government, and then the Princess Zhenguo will be angry… once the letter is sent to the palace, the Prime Minister’s Mansion will be doomed!”
The blue-shirted aide turned to look at Li Mao and said, “Prime Minister… if you want the Prime Minister’s residence to be safe and sound, it is better to go to the palace and plead guilty. Tell His Majesty the truth… it was you who cleaned up the mess for the Sixth Young Master, and since then the Prime Minister has felt guilty and can’t sleep all night! Today, the Princess Zhenguo broke the Sixth Young Master’s legs and sent him to the Prime Minister because she was afraid that if she handed the Sixth Young Master over to the government, the government would be afraid of the Prime Minister’s power… the Sixth Young Master will still be safe! It is also to let the Prime Minister understand that the law is clear!”
Seeing that Li Mao was still hesitant, the blue-shirted aide said loudly, “Prime Minister, you should know that you can survive in the future if you put yourself in danger! If this matter does not hurt the Sixth Young Master and the Prime Minister, we will not be able to meet the requirements of the Princess Zhenguo! The Prime Minister’s Mansion is in danger! Moreover, the time given by the Princess Zhenguo is too tight for us to think carefully.”
Li Mao clenched his fingers into fists and slammed them hard on the table in front of him.
It’s so frustrating. There is really no left prime minister more frustrating than him!
Bai Qingyan broke his son’s leg, but he still had to protect the reputation of Bai Qingyan and the Bai family!
Moreover, after Bai Qingyan’s actions today, he not only did not fight back but instead gave in. Someone would definitely guess that Bai Qingyan might have something on him, such as Lu Xiang!
For many years, Prime Minister Lu seemed to be a peacemaker person, but in fact, he often opposed him secretly. If Prime Minister Lu secretly sought cooperation with Bai Qingyan and offered conditions that made Bai Qingyan tempted, there was no guarantee that Bai Qingyan would not cooperate with Prime Minister Lu. What should he do then?
But Li Mao couldn’t care less about that now. The time given by Bai Qingyan was tight, so he had to resolve the current crisis first.
Li Mao gritted his teeth and made a decision: “I showed my sincerity to Bai Qingyan and said that she had found evidence and sent someone to hand it over to the government office. But nearly half a month passed without any news. I found out that the evidence she sent was destroyed. That’s why I broke Mingtang’s legs today.”
“I will go to the palace, and leave other matters to you two! But if this matter is resolved as Bai Qingyan wishes, it will leave troubles! In the face of this great humiliation, I did not retaliate but surrendered! There are too many smart people in the capital city, and someone will definitely guess that the Princess Zhenguo has a handle on me. If I come to Japan to cooperate with the enemy and the Princess Zhenguo, I will die without a burial place!”
Li Mao bowed to the two aides and said, “So I’d like to trouble you two to think carefully for me about what to do from today onwards…”
·
As soon as Bai Qingyan returned to Qinghuiyuan, she instructed Lupin to send someone back to Shuoyang to inform County Magistrate Zhou that she would arrive in Shuoyang around the 25th of this month to deal with the affairs of the Bai clan.
Only half a cup of tea had passed since Lupin left when Bai Jinzhi came running over.
“Eldest sister, why didn’t you ask me to go with you to such a joyful and exciting event? You should have let me beat Li Mingtang to pieces with a whip!”
Chun Tao served tea to Bai Jinzhi and stood aside with concern, saying, “Miss, you broke the leg of the son of the Left Prime Minister and threw it in front of the Left Prime Minister’s carriage. Will the people think that our Zhenguo Princess Mansion is too arrogant? Will they have an opinion about our Zhenguo Princess Mansion…”
After hearing what Chuntao said, Bai Jinzhi also felt that today’s high-profile and arrogant behavior seemed inconsistent with her elder sister’s usual temperament: “Elder sister, nothing will happen, right?”
“You can be fearless if you have confidence.” She looked at Bai Jinzhi and said, “On the contrary, fearlessness… is because you have confidence. The more arrogant you act, the more afraid Li Mao will be.”
She picked up the teacup and whispered, “As for the opinions of the people, this is something that the Left Prime Minister should try to guide. With his ability, he will definitely make arrangements. Let’s just sit back and watch!”
As Bai Qingyan said, just after the Shen time, the news came out that the left prime minister Li Mao had entered the palace to apologize.
It turned out that the left prime minister was partial to his son and had violated the law to cover up the crimes of raping women and killing people for his son, so that the victim had no way to sue the officials. Some people among the people still remembered that the victim cried bitterly in front of the government office.
Later, Princess Zhenguo heard about this incident by chance and sent people to investigate. After obtaining the evidence, she handed it over to the government. However, the government was afraid of the power of the Left Prime Minister and secretly destroyed the evidence.
Such an unbearable thing happened in the imperial capital.
