The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy

Chapter 711: Confident
After Bai Qihe returned from the Bai family, he locked himself in the study and refused to come out no matter who called him. He did not show up at the family dinner on New Year’s Eve and did not send anyone to greet them, completely ignoring the fact that the whole family was waiting for him.
Bai Qihe’s father, Bai Weimei, sat at the dinner table with a grim face. The delicacies on the dozen or so gold-painted plates on the eight-immortals table had gone cold. Everyone sitting at the black lacquered round table didn’t dare to speak.
Bai Qingping lowered his eyes and kept silent.
Seeing this, Fang reached out and tugged at Bai Qingping’s sleeve, but Bai Qingping just pulled back his sleeve with an indifferent expression, his thin lips tightly pursed.
“What? Grandfather can’t control you anymore, right?” Bai Weimei looked at Bai Qingping with gritted teeth.
“I dare not, but my grandfather instigated the clan members to make things difficult for the princess, intending to destroy our Bai clan! My father is the head of the Bai clan… Caught between my biological father and the Bai clan, he must learn from his mistakes before making a decision.”
“Decision?!” Bai Weimei stood up suddenly, “What decision?”
Pu Liu, who was standing behind Fang, stepped forward and saluted: “My lord, I think you are tired. I am willing to go and ask the clan leader to come.”
Fang looked back at Pu Liu with gratitude, then looked back at Bai Weimei who stood up and trembled with anger, and said, “My husband must be too tired from worshipping the ancestors today, so he has not come yet. Pu Liu, go and invite my husband to come. Tell him that my father knows that he has been working hard today, and specially asked the whole family to wait for him here to have dinner together!”
“Yes!” After Pu Liu saluted, he winked at Bai Qingping, indicating that Bai Qingping should not anger Bai Weimei again. Then he walked out of the door in small steps, holding an umbrella to call Bai Qihe.
Bai Weimei looked at her grandson twisting his neck, still furious. Thinking of her son who was no longer on the same page with her, she pointed her finger at Bai Qingping and cursed, “Just like your father! A heartless bastard! Your uncle is gone… You don’t think about revenge for him. You know the enemy is in the Bai Mansion, but you don’t think about revenge for your uncle. Instead, you let me, an old man, figure out a way!”
Bai Qingping was trembling all over, but he couldn’t help but stand up. He looked up at Bai Weimei with a resolute gaze, “Uncle’s death was caused by his greed. If it weren’t for his greed and his intention to frame the Bai family, he would be living a good life now! Misfortune sent by heaven can be avoided, but misfortune brought by oneself cannot be survived! This is all uncle’s own fault. What right does my father have to seek revenge!”
“How dare you!” Bai Weimei was furious. She raised her hand and swept away all the delicious dishes on the table. The plates and dishes hit Fang with a crackling sound and then fell to the ground. Fang was so frightened that she screamed and pulled her son to dodge.
Bai Weimei’s old wife was shocked, then she raised her hands, beat her chest and cried, saying what a sin she had committed… The old person had to send the young person off, and her second son and grandson were so unfilial that they couldn’t even sit together for the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Bai Qingping turned around and walked out with tears in her eyes. Fang was covered in stains and didn’t know what to do. She glanced at her furious father-in-law and her crying mother-in-law, then turned around and chased after her son, holding up her dirty skirt: “A Ping! A Ping!”

In Bai Qihe’s study, Pu Liu stood on the fine velvet Wufu carpet in the middle of the study, talking about what Bai Weimei had just done at the dinner table when she scolded Bai Qingping. Bai Qihe’s face turned pale when he heard it.
Originally Bai Qihe was still hesitating, but after listening to Pu Liu’s retelling of what happened in his father’s yard, Bai Qihe no longer had anything to hesitate about.
He was not stupid and understood the meaning of the message that Bai Qingyan asked Nanny Tong to convey. Even if he did not take action, Bai Qingyan would take action. It all depended on how he handled the situation this time and whether he could establish his authority in front of the clan members.
This time my father really went too far. He knew very well that the only family the Bai family could rely on now was the Bai family where Princess Zhenguo was from, but for the sake of his brother who was greedy for money and intended to frame the Bai family of Dadu, he instigated the elders of the family to force the Bai family of Dadu.
In the past few decades… the Bai family in Dadu deliberately promoted the Bai clan, and praised the clan members to the point of ignorance of their own limitations. Did the elders really think that the clan could be on equal footing with the Bai family in Dadu?
How long did it take for the clan members to wake up after the Princess Zhenguo’s ancestral hall dealt with them? Why did the clan members become drunk and forget their place so quickly?
If it weren’t for his good father… who borrowed his power as the clan leader and stirred up trouble behind the scenes, how could the clan members be so unrestrained?
Bai Qihe did not shy away from Pu Liu and ordered his men to inform the Bai family one by one: “Tell the family members to wait at the Bai family ancestral hall at 3:45 tomorrow. If anyone dares not to come… don’t blame me, Bai Qihe, as the clan leader, for being ruthless. Whoever does not come… will no longer be a descendant of the Bai family from now on! Send all the servants in the house out, and make sure they are all notified within half an hour!”
Bai Qihe’s attendant was stunned for a moment, then went out to deliver the message.
Pu Liu looked at Bai Qihe, whose facial features flickered in the flickering candlelight, and lowered his eyes to think for a moment before speaking: “Master, in fact, the reason why the clan members dare to make trouble is simply because… they have the support of the old master behind them. Over the years, the old master has been used to being the clan leader and his words are always final… Master, you have always been filial to the old master, but in the eyes of others, I am afraid that you are afraid of the old master. They will think that even if something big happens, the old master will support you…”
Pu Liu raised her eyes to look at Bai Qihe, and seeing Bai Qihe looking at her seriously, she completed the last five words: “And you are fearless!”
Yes, it is precisely because of the presence of his father, the former patriarch, that others feel fearless.
At noon on the next morning, Bai Weimei and his wife got up early and were having breakfast when they heard someone report that Bai Qihe was heading towards his courtyard.
Bai Weimei’s wife raised her hand and gently shook Bai Weimei’s arm: “Look, Qi He still has you as his father in his heart. He is here to apologize to you. Don’t be angry with him later. Qi He has been well-behaved and obedient since he was young. He must have been too busy yesterday! You have been a clan leader before, so you should know the hardships!”
Bai Weimei took the handkerchief from the maid with a stern face and wiped her mouth. “If you really wanted to apologize, you should have come last night! Your good son called all the housekeepers to his yard before dawn today. I’m afraid he’s not here to apologize, but to ask for punishment!”
Bai Weimei’s old wife frowned, “Qi He won’t do that!”
In fact, Bai Weimei would not be afraid even if Bai Qihe came to question him. After all, he was Bai Qihe’s father. What could he really do to him?
He knew his own son well, and Bai Qihe was just trying to force him to stop and stop opposing Bai Qingyan by saying that he was not fit to be the clan leader.
