The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 972: same
Chapter 972 No Difference
This is also the reason why Bai Qingyan wants to open a school… to encourage people, both men and women, to go to school. She wants to select talents for the Great Zhou…
Talent is never enough for a country.
The Imperial College Priest who was following Bai Qingyan nodded and said, “Your Majesty, rest assured. I will make sure it’s properly arranged.”
Bai Qingyan walked out of the Imperial College, jumped on his horse, turned his horse around and left.
General Lu and others were still waiting anxiously in the palace. They were supposed to come with Bai Qingyan early this morning, but she did not allow it. Instead, she asked General Lu and other important officials in the court to handle state affairs. It seemed that they were waiting very anxiously.
At this point, the matter of the Imperial College had been settled, so she had to send someone to inform General Lu and the others so that they could be reassured.
Bai Qingjue also bowed to the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, mounted his horse, and left with the imperial guards and Bai Qingyan.
Today, the eldest sister came to the Imperial College in person to speak directly to the students. She has convinced these students and set a new goal for them, asking them to work hard for the unification of the Great Zhou. I believe that in the future, the Great Zhou court will surely form a new and vibrant situation.
The group had just left the Imperial College not far when Bai Qingjue saw the Bai family guards riding fast.
Bai Qingjue pulled up the reins and stepped forward to Bai Qingyan, saying, “Eldest sister, this is our Bai family’s guard. I’ll go take a look…”
Bai Qingyan nodded.
Seeing Bai Qingjue riding his horse quickly forward, the guard hurriedly dismounted and bowed to Bai Qingjue.
Bai Qingjue dismounted calmly, led the horse and signaled the Bai family guard to follow him, and walked slowly to a remote place, clearing the road so as not to hinder the passage of the imperial guards and Bai Qingyan and his party.
He asked the Bai family guards: “You look so hurried, but is there something wrong?”
The Bai family guard nodded and said, “Seventh Master, Lord Lupin has returned from Shuoyang. He just entered the capital city and was on his way back to the Bai Mansion… He met a maidservant of a woman from the Bai clan. The maidservant asked Lord Lupin for help, saying that her mistress had been a widow for a long time. She heard that the eldest lady had issued a new law to encourage widows to remarry. After returning yesterday, she mentioned her wish to remarry to her mother-in-law. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law and father-in-law were furious and locked up her mistress. She was going to be drowned in a pond at the end of noon today. She is now outside the city.”
Bai Qingjue’s face was gloomy. He knew that his elder sister was promoting new laws. As a member of the Bai family… if they were allowed to take this lead, the new laws promoted by his elder sister would definitely be hindered.
The guard said in a very low voice: “Master Lupin has already led his men to stop them. I have come to ask the young lady how to deal with them.”
“Go tell Uncle Ping that they must rescue this person no matter what! Also tell the Bai family members that if anyone dares to break the law when His Majesty is implementing the new policy, not only will they be dealt with according to the law, but they will also not be tolerated by the Bai family!” Bai Qingjue whispered.
“Yes!” The Bai family guard clasped his fists and said yes, then left in a hurry.
Bai Qingjue didn’t waste any time. He jumped on his horse and joined the marching team. He rode quickly to Bai Qingyan and said, “Sister, the Bai clan is going to sink a widow who is about to remarry into a pond. They are outside the city right now. Uncle Ping has already gone there. Sister, would you like to go and take a look?”
The new law had just been implemented, and the Bai clan members were so eager to challenge her bottom line!
Bai Qingyan was still thinking about how to establish the authority of the new law, and even thought of breaking the law himself… to establish the authority of the new law, to let the people know what the law is, and to know that if the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same as the common people.
Unexpectedly, before Bai Qingyan could figure out how to implement it, the Bai clan members came charging at her, and she could only reluctantly use them to establish the authority of the new law.
Bai Qingyan tightened his grip on the reins: “Go and take a look.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Qingyan kicked his horse’s belly and rushed out quickly. Seeing this, the imperial guards hurriedly quickened their speed to catch up.

Outside the city, the old man of the Bai clan, who had originally planned to secretly drown his daughter-in-law in a pond, held his cane in his hand with a gloomy face. He watched Lupin lead the Bai clan guards to fish his daughter-in-law out of the river, and then release her from the pig cage. Now he was even protecting her behind him. He was immediately furious.
Originally, the elder of the clan planned to quietly drown the person in the pond in the dead of night, but his wife said… After their family came to the capital, she met a fairy lady, who said that the fairy lady was very accurate in fortune-telling. It was the fairy lady who told her that someone would give their family a house, and sure enough, someone came to give their family a house. The fairy lady also said that her daughter-in-law was destined to be very rich and powerful, and could build a prosperous family.
The elder’s wife couldn’t help but worry that her daughter-in-law had such a good fate, and if she was drowned in the pond, would it cause unrest in the family? So she went to find a fairy lady to give her a big gift. The fairy lady said… her daughter-in-law’s life span was not over yet, and if she was drowned in the pond by force, she might be unwilling and turn into an evil ghost to cause chaos, causing unrest in their family. So she said that if they really wanted to drown this woman in the pond, they should do it at the end of noon or the beginning of noon, when the sun was at its highest and was about to decline.
The elder of the tribe was afraid of attracting attention, so he brought his daughter-in-law to a sparsely populated riverside early in the morning, and brought his family members with him, even hiding it from the tribe leader Bai Qihe, preparing to wait until the transition between noon and noon to drown his daughter-in-law in the pond.
Who could have thought that not only would the Bai family’s bodyguard Lupin arrive with his men, but he would also make such a big noise that attracted the people working nearby to come and watch the fun. Now the family scandal could no longer be hidden.
The woman who was rescued from the pig cage cried out of breath and turned pale. She thought she was going to drown in the water. The maid beside her took Lupin’s cloak, thanked him, and put it on the young woman. She wrapped the woman up and rubbed the young woman’s arms while crying, “Miss, I’m sorry, I’m late! I’m late!”
The young woman’s tears fell.
If she had not returned from the palace banquet, she would have heard from her father-in-law that the Bai family would spare no effort to support His Majesty’s new policies in order to gain a firm foothold in the capital. She would also have heard from her mother-in-law that… she would go back to her parents’ home one day to persuade her mother to let her widowed and childless half-brother’s wife remarry. She did not dare to tell her mother-in-law and father-in-law that she wanted to remarry.
Who would have thought that as soon as she finished speaking to her father-in-law and mother-in-law, her mother-in-law slapped her several times, scolded her for being a slut… and wanted to drown her.
The elder’s wife pointed at her daughter-in-law who was protected by the guards and couldn’t even stand up, and cursed: “You shameless little slut, black-hearted little whore! Dirty bastard! My son has only been dead for a few years and you’re already thinking about remarrying. You only know how to flirt with other men. You can’t live without sleeping with men, you little whore! My poor son… maybe it was you, a bitch, who had an affair with the bandits who killed him!”
The young woman who was rescued by the Bai family guards was so angry that she was shaking all over. She could never have imagined that her mother-in-law, an old lady from a rich family, could say such rotten words. She was no different from a shrew in the market.
