The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 495: Invincible
Chapter 495: Indestructible
This time when Cui came, she not only prepared gifts for Dong and Bai Qingyan, but also for all the sisters and wives of the Bai family. Although they were not very expensive, one could tell from the details that they were carefully selected and prepared, and were not perfunctory at all. She must be someone who could take on the important responsibility of being a clan wife.
“Grandma is worried about my cousin. I think only by keeping my cousin in front of her can grandma feel at ease…” Cui looked at Bai Qingyan, “If my cousin is free, she can come to Dengzhou and stay for a few months, so that grandma can feel at ease!”
Bai Qingyan smiled and nodded: “Okay…”
Noon is the hottest time of the year, but the wind in Shaohua Courtyard is cool. There are tall ancient trees in the courtyard, lush vegetation, shade all over the garden, and gurgling water. Shaohua Hall is built between layers of green. Occasionally, light shines through the layers of green leaves of the tall trees, looking as beautiful as golden ribbons. The white drapes and gauze curtains sway in the cool breeze, and the copper hooks and bells ring. From a distance, Shaohua Hall looks more and more like a dream.
After lunch, everyone had some tea and snacks on the second floor of Shaohua Courtyard. When the servants came to report that the Junzixuan prepared for Dong Changlan and Cui had been prepared, Xiao Rongyan stood up and said goodbye.
Dong Changlan and Bai Qingping saw Xiao Rongyan off to the door. After watching Xiao Rongyan leave, Bai Qingping turned back and said goodbye to Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan saw that Bai Qingping was in a bad mood and had a serious black eye, so he asked him, “Did your father and mother’s affairs… affect you?”
Bai Qingping tightened his hands at his sides, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He really didn’t have the face to tell Bai Qingyan that his mother had yelled at him at the school gate, saying that he was ungrateful and ungrateful for not repaying his mother’s kindness, and even his uncle said that he was unfilial.
But as a son, could he tie his father up and go to his uncle’s house to take his mother back to the Bai family? His mother still didn’t understand why his father was angry…why he wanted to divorce his wife, and she only knew how to complain that they were heartless and ungrateful.
Bai Qingping went to see his father last night. His father said… his mother is really confused. Now Princess Zhenguo is willing to give his mother some face for the sake of him and his father, but if she continues to indulge him like this, her mother will become even more ignorant of the seriousness of the matter. What kind of disaster will she cause in the future?
Now his mother dared to let her nephew marry into the Bai family. Who knows what shady means she would use in the future. If his mother really did it, it would sever the relationship between the Bai family and the Princess Zhenguo. At that time, the Bai clan would have no one to rely on, and the fate of those members who were expelled from the clan would be the fate of their family.
How could Bai Qingping not understand these words? The one who didn’t understand was Bai Qingping’s mother.
Bai Qingping even wondered whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to let his mother come back and continue to stay in the Bai family. If his mother stayed in her mother’s family… without anyone to rely on, she would not have the opportunity or courage to do things that were irreversible.
But as a son, he naturally hopes that his parents can live in harmony.
“I don’t think your father will get so far as to divorce his wife. At most, he can let your mother go back to her parents’ home to think it over carefully! This will also be good for your mother.” Bai Qingyan persuaded Bai Qingping.
He nodded: “I thought so too.”
“Go back and have a good rest for a day. You will have to work hard on the training ground. I am a little worried without someone from the Bai family watching over you.” Bai Qingyan said.
Bai Qingping nodded and said, “Sister, I think there are still some useful people in the Bai clan. Would you consider using them?”
“You can handle this matter as you wish. If you think there is someone in the clan who should be employed, you don’t need to tell me. You can make the decision.” Bai Qingyan was gradually giving Bai Qingping more power. “Shen Yan, if you want to use this person, you need to have a corresponding explanation. You can decide for yourself.”
Bai Qingping felt that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier, but he was also pleased by Bai Qingyan’s trust. He bowed and said, “Don’t worry, sister. Qingping knows the importance of this matter.”
As soon as Bai Qingping finished speaking, Butler Hao quickly stepped forward and stood behind Bai Qingping, as if he had something to say but considering Bai Qingping’s presence, Bai Qingping tactfully said goodbye to Bai Qingping.
“Those people in Fenxiang did come from Dadu. I have been sending people to keep an eye on them. Today, someone left for Dadu on horseback. I have asked someone to follow them carefully. We will definitely be able to find out if these people are from the Zuo Xiang Mansion.” Butler Hao was quite worried. “Miss, when we were in Dadu, our Bai family offended the Zuo Xiang Mansion badly. Now these people are colluding with the expelled Bai clan members, I am afraid they will harm our Bai Mansion!”
“First keep an eye on them and see who they are in contact with. This is in the Shuoyang territory… It’s not difficult to deal with them. If we are really sure that these people are related to the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion, then it’s time to give the Left Prime Minister a big gift.” Bai Qingyan was not afraid that Li Maoneng would unite with the expelled members of the Bai family and cause some trouble.
As Bai Qingping was leaving along the Nine-Curved Corridor, he looked back and saw Butler Hao standing beside Bai Qingyan with a frown on his face. He lowered his voice and reported something to Bai Qingyan, with worry between his brows.
On the other hand, Bai Qingyan still looked calm as a mirror, as if nothing was worth mentioning to her.
Bai Qingping didn’t dare to look any further and followed the servants out of the Bai Mansion.
Bai Qingping admired his cousin from the bottom of his heart. Although he was in Shuoyang seven months ago, he was always terrified when he heard any news from Dadu.
Most of the men in the Bai family were killed, but this cousin of hers did better than her men. She borrowed coffins from all over the world to stir up public sentiment, beat the drum to arouse public indignation, and protected the Bai family with the people’s hearts. She was invincible in the battlefields of southern and northern borders, and single-handedly supported the glory of the Bai family. She seemed invincible. Looking around the Jin State, even the outstanding men… I’m afraid they can’t be as upright as her cousin.
But he, as a man, couldn’t even… manage his family.
He admired Bai Qingyan and envied Bai Qingyan’s courage, and hoped that one day he could become a person like Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingping looked back at the black lacquer and gold-painted plaque of the Bai Mansion, clenched his fists, jumped on his horse, and headed towards the parade ground.

Early in the morning on the 22nd, Lu Ninghua and Bai Jinse returned to the Royal Qing’an in a carriage, and immediately informed the Grand Princess of the incident in the palace where the Queen and General Fu had been caught having a secret meeting.
After hearing this, the Grand Princess did not stop playing with the Buddhist beads in her hand, but sneered and said, “It seems that the Queen has run out of tricks.”
Lu Ninghua and Bai Jinse were puzzled.
“Ning Hua, you did a great job!” The Grand Princess smiled at Lu Ning Hua, “Go and have a rest!”
After Lu Ninghua and Bai Jinse left, the Grand Princess asked Nanny Jiang to call Wei Zhong over and asked him, “How is your investigation going on with the matter that Abao asked you to investigate?”
“Replying to the Grand Princess, I have found out that the one who defiled the innocence of Princess Nandu was the secret guard of the Crown Prince’s Mansion. However… this secret guard was also bewitched by someone, which led to his desire for beauty. As for who bewitched him, I am currently investigating in detail. Because the eldest lady asked me to investigate secretly, I am somewhat restrained.” Wei Zhong said.
The second update is coming! Keep rolling around and begging for monthly tickets…
