Sweet Beauty Chapter 54: Intensification of conflict

Master Bai Er was sweating profusely and his hands were trembling uncontrollably after reading the dossier, he knelt down again with a "plop", his voice trembled and choked: "Wei Chen, Wei Chen sins. Damn it."

Emperor Jing Yuan was quite satisfied to see his terrified appearance. He asked with a smile, "Aiqing, did you know about this before?"

Master Bai gritted his teeth and said, "Wei Chen, Wei Chen doesn't know about it. But Wei Chen didn't dare to deceive His Majesty. Wei Chen also had a little doubt about his life experience, but it was just a suspicion, and he didn't dare to deny it. Filial piety.”

Emperor Jing Yuan nodded, his most important nephew was going to marry the Bai family. The family background of the Bai family is not obvious. He has naturally sent undercover agents to investigate the matter of the Bai family, so he is very clear about the matter of the Bai family. Maybe some Things are more penetrating than Second Master Bai can see.

With such a Bai family, if Mr. Bai had another background, he really felt that it was not suitable for him to marry him, but after reading the investigation report, he liked the little girl's wit and courage.

He is the founding king. He has experienced countless changes in his life. He does not abide by stereotypes. Instead, he likes novelty and brave people who are pure in heart and persistent.

However, it is very dangerous. Fortunately, the direction of the undercover investigation is not outsiders. The contact between the Bai family and Ling Guogong's residence is relatively small and it is not obvious. The matter of Rong Weijia has not been extended to investigate. Beach event. Of course, if Emperor Jing Yuan knew about this matter, he was afraid that he might be happier, and the arrangement might be deeper, colder and cheerful.

So at this time, Mr. Bai said that he was a little suspicious of his own life experience. Emperor Jing Yuan was not surprised. If his wife and children were counted as such, he could continue to be his filial son. , then he is probably really a heartless wood. And such a person had been a local official for many years, and Emperor Jing Yuan was really worried about how many stupid things he could do under his rule.

Emperor Jing Yuan said "um", and then asked: "Since you know your background at this time, do you know how to deal with it?"

Bai Er's hand was tightly clasped to the ground, and it was painful to grasp, but it was not as uncomfortable as the struggle and tumult in his heart.

He didn't know how to answer, but he felt as if his heart was numb, and it was like being pricked by thousands of silver needles, so he could only say: "This matter is really sudden, Wei Chen, Wei Chen still needs time to make a decision, please Your Majesty Forgive me."

He added, "The Bai family has raised and taught Weichen for many years, but this time, Weichen does not dare not think about it."

Emperor Jing Yuan chuckled lightly and said, "It depends on how you look at it. The Rong family saved the Bai family's life back then. If it wasn't for General Rong, the Bai family might have been wiped out. ."

"Bai Hanlin took you away and raised you back then, but he just repaid the kindness of the Rong family and fulfilled his duty. What's more, when the Bai family was trapped in the war, General Rong entrusted you to Bai's family. When you were at home, you also donated huge sums of money to the Bai family, so as the son of the old general Rong, you don't really owe the Bai family anything."

After listening to Emperor Jing Yuan's remarks, Mr. Bai Er understood the attitude of Emperor Jing Yuan in his heart. He only grew up reading the book of sages. Emperor Jing Yuan said this, but he couldn't say it at all.

Emperor Jing Yuan looked at him sweating profusely and his face was like a ghost. He looked like he had been hit by a huge shock or blow. He didn't have the slightest sympathy in his heart. ...

Although he doesn't hate the Rong family in principle, he is loyal to the previous dynasty, and the royal family of the previous dynasty has a mortal grudge against him. In his own heart, he still has many years of anger and anger in his heart...

He enjoyed the terrified struggle of Second Master Bai, and paused, but changed the subject and said, "I received a letter from the Prince of Shu's mansion, and the letter said that my cousin, Princess Shu, was looking at your daughter. When I grew up, I felt that it made women smart, virtuous and intelligent, and the Princess of Shu was very happy and wanted to hire her as the third son-in-law.”

"That's how I checked these old things. Since my daughter is going to marry the royal family as a prince and concubine, she can no longer use her false identity. Ai Qing should take care of this matter when she returns to the manor, and I will give you the marriage. "

When Bai Er heard this, he was at first dazed and shocked with a burst of joy. However, after the great joy, he thought that His Majesty had directly restored himself to the identity of the Rong family before giving him the marriage. This...

His heart was tumbling and suffering again, but since His Majesty had already said this, he would never dare to disobey at all.

Therefore, Mr. Bai endured the various feelings in his heart, and only thanked him: "Wei Chen thank your Majesty for your kindness, and Wei Chen will obey the imperial decree."

Emperor Jing Yuan nodded in satisfaction and said, "So, you go down first. After the marriage, I have other important things to be handed over to Aiqing. After Aiqing, I need to act cautiously and not let me down."

At this time, Mr. Bai didn't know whether he should be suspicious of the emperor's words or surprised because he was taken seriously by the emperor.

Master Bai Er left the palace, and a cool breeze blew outside the palace, and then the soul slowly returned to its place. The various feelings in my heart are really complicated and hard to describe. I don't know if it is lead or cotton if I step on it. I got into the carriage and let the groom drive home

As soon as I got off the carriage at the gate of the Bai Mansion, the second master Bai had not yet prepared his mood and how he should face the people of the Bai Mansion, but he heard a crisp voice from the rear with some rare joy. Call him, "Father, Father!"

Hearing this familiar and tender voice, Mr. Bai's heart was both proud and sour. He followed the voice and turned to look, and saw his daughter Jing Shu in simple casual clothes standing in front of her with joy and beauty Calling himself not far away.

Seeing her father turned to look at her, Jing Shu quickly walked towards her father in small steps. When she got close, she said to the second master Bai with bright eyes, "Father, it's mother, it's the mother who wrote the letter. I know. The father went to the yamen today, and the daughter stayed here specially to tell her father about it and let her know as soon as possible."

Master Bai heard that it was his wife who wrote the letter, so he immediately put aside all the previous thoughts, worries, and struggles, and focused on the letter from this wife.

Counting the time, my wife should have given birth by the end of last month, but the land of Shu is far away, and there has been no news. Mr. Bai Er has been waiting anxiously for a long time. Every day, the servant tells the concierge to pay attention to some Shu. letter from there.

He didn't even bother to hide his urgency and asked: "How is it? Shuer, how is your mother?"

Jing Shu was very happy when she saw her father's rare eagerness. She pursed her lips and smiled happily. Then she looked up at Master Bai Er with wide eyes and smiled: "Father, mother is very good, mother she is here. At the end of the month, I gave birth to a little brother. My little brother, he is also very good. My mother said that I will wait for my father to name my little brother. If I can see my father sooner, it would be good for the family to be reunited."

As he spoke, he handed a letter in his hands to Mr. Bai Er, and then watched the unopened letter being taken by his father, saying: "Father, the ordinary post is slow to deliver letters. , at the beginning of this month, someone from the Prince of Shu's mansion came to Beijing, and this is a letter that my mother entrusted to someone from the Prince's Mansion of Shu, and this letter is specially for my father."

When Bai Er heard the words "Shu Wangfu", his heart was settled because of the ecstasy of his wife giving birth to a son. Now, the good news has been received. At this time, he calmed down. In front of his daughter, he regained the calm and self-controlled father's appearance in the past. He stretched out his hand to receive the letter handed over by his daughter, and put away the letter with a calm but reluctant expression.

Then he coughed, looked around, and then asked his daughter: "Shu'er, how do you wait outside this door to be a father, why don't you wait in the manor?"

After asking this sentence, he remembered his daughter's embarrassment in the White House, and he felt vaguely uncomfortable. Then he saw that her daughter's happy expression was a little stiff because of his words, and her smile was a little awkward. Get up naturally.

Seeing her daughter biting her lip, she said with a sad expression: "Father, grandmother doesn't like daughter, daughter, daughter should not enter the White Mansion, lest grandmother get sick again, make daughter uneasy, and make father more burdened. Difficult to do."

Hearing this, Mr. Bai's heart pierced with pain. His daughter, who had not yet celebrated her fifteenth birthday, received the Bai Mansion when she arrived in Beijing. What did she always think of her own grandmother? treat?

He couldn't help but think of his mother again... Mrs. Bai and Wei Shi's filthy schemes, thinking that even the servants in the Bai mansion secretly said that their daughter was a "demon", and then thinking of His Majesty's words today, the second master Bai finally slowed down. Slowing down the decision, it was not a decision forced by His Majesty, but a decision made by himself in his heart. With such a certain mind, he was inexplicably relaxed.

He looked at his daughter with kindness on his face, thinking that she was about to marry into the Shu Palace, and his mood slowly improved, but His Majesty has not yet decreed this matter, so he should wait and talk to his family and his daughter.

In this way, there will be a fight between myself and the Bai Mansion. If my wife and youngest daughter are not in the mansion, it will be easier. Why let the youngest daughter see such an embarrassing side?

So he no longer pursued the question of his daughter's inability to live in the Bai Mansion, and he did not insist on letting his daughter follow him back to the Bai Mansion at this time. Far away, it is inconvenient for you to return to the villa today, can you make arrangements for where to live? Or, how about asking your father to arrange for you to live in the Green Inn?"

Lvyi Inn is a famous inn in Beijing. It has an elegant environment, is safe and comfortable, and has a very good reputation. The occupants are either rich or expensive. My father did not insist that he go to the White House, but instead paid for himself to go to the inn. ?

Jing Shu felt like the sun was coming out of the west.

However, she concealed her surprise very well, just shook her head and smiled: "Father, second uncle has a house not far from here, and it's only time for two cups of tea to take the carriage. , the second aunt has already made arrangements over there, and the daughter came from there before. The daughter can live there tonight."

Seeing that his father still had doubts, he smiled playfully and said, "If my father is not at ease, why don't I ask my father to send his daughter over there to take a look?"

Second Master Bai saw his daughter look cute and happy again, and his mood also improved.

He glanced at the gate of Bai Mansion, and then turned to Jing Shucihe and said, "It's so good, my father wants to send you there. I don't think it's better if we go there now, rather than at this gate. Speak."

Jing Shu feels that her father is really weird today, but she doesn't know if he is too happy because her mother gave birth to a little brother, so she doesn't pay attention to it anymore. All right, that's it, so he nodded, smiled and went with his father to the house that second uncle specially bought not far from Baifu.

********

Let's say that Mrs. Bai has not been idle these days. She took advantage of one day when she was in better health to go to Jingting Mountain in person. How to resolve the conflict between Jingshu and her character, and asked whether marrying Jingshu to the Wei family can really restrain her 'hostility' and benefit her health and longevity.

Master Jiang Yuan received a lot of benefits from Mrs. Bai's Weishi, and there were further benefits after her promise was fulfilled. Naturally, she was calm and looked like a high-ranking monk and fooled Mrs. Bai, which made her believe it. And secretly rejoice.

In this way, Master Jiang Yuan has received a heavy remuneration from Mrs. Bai, which is really an excellent business with 'no capital and no risk'.

Old Madam Bai returned to the house from Jiang'an Temple with a solemn expression on her face Talking about Jingshu's marriage, I thought of using filial piety to force the second master Bai to agree to the marriage between Jingshu and the Wei family.

She didn't even think, as her youngest daughter-in-law suggested, she secretly exchanged Geng posts with the Wei family and set up a marriage. She didn't bother to do this behind the scenes. She just wanted to tell her second son clearly, let her He put his health and longevity first, and married Jing Shu to the Wei family!

As a result, she waited in her room for a whole afternoon, and only in the evening did she hear the little maid who had been watching outside the second door reporting back that the second master had been intercepted by the fifth lady outside the white house, and she did not know Where did you go and when will you come back.

Old Madam Bai's expression was terrifyingly gloomy for a moment.

Why, now the evildoer who wants to find his father will go directly to the door to intercept people and then take them away, and even refuse to step in the door of Bai Mansion? Having such a granddaughter, even if she is married into a high family, what benefits and help will it bring to the Bai family? Still stepping on his own Fulu and sucking the Fulu of the descendants of the Bai family to enter the high door!

Yes, then Master Jiang Yuan also added a point to Mrs. Bai, saying that Jingshu not only clashed with her, but that watching Jingshu's birthday was actually a wealthy fate, but her wealthy fate was a dangerous one. Her life must be continued by sucking the blessings of some people who oppose her. If she doesn't get enough blessings, she can't suppress her life, which is the sign of premature death.

And Master Jiang Yuan said that Jing Shu's fate is not only against Mrs. Bai, but also against the entire Bai Mansion.

These words simply shocked the old lady Bai's soul. It is a rich life that can only be continued by sucking the blessings of her descendants! Sure enough, he is a real evildoer and calamity!

Marrying her into the Wei family and looking at her under her own eyes is a kindness, otherwise it would not be an exaggeration to strangle her or burn her to death. How could their Bai family's century-old heritage be destroyed in her hands? !

My confidant, Madam Xue, knows the old lady best, but seeing that her face is not good because the second master was intercepted by the fifth young lady, she hurriedly persuaded: "Old Madam, you are not in good health, but don't worry about it. Don't be annoyed by the ignorance of the juniors. The juniors don't know the etiquette, and they are not the ones who suffer? Old lady, you are going to see Mrs. Ling Guogong in the Qianye Temple tomorrow, so you have to keep your spirits up."

Old Mrs. Bai snorted coldly, her heart was sullen, and she didn't want to say more, she only said: "That's the truth."

It was Mrs. Bai who received a verbal invitation from Mrs. Zhou of Lingguo Gongfu two days ago, asking her to give incense together at the Qianye Temple in Changmei Mountain on July 29th, and then talk to her when they meet. .

Ling Guogong's mansion and his family have nothing to do with each other except for that matter. The reason why Mrs. Ling Guogong's wife wanted to see her this time was because their Bai family had not been able to respond to that matter.

After receiving the invitation, Mrs. Bai thought about it carefully, but she still didn't want to accept the hot potato. She believed that she was the arrogant and arrogant of a scholarly family in her bones, and agreed that her master took in her second son to pay back People are very kind, but now the new dynasty has been established for many years, and the kindness to the Rong family has been raised for many years and taught him to help him marry and have children. .

Actually, not only this reason, but she was deeply fearful because of Jingshu's fate. After all, Jingshu is also the daughter of the Rong family, and the daughter of the former princess is also the daughter of the Rong family. It is even more shocking, the country can be destroyed, maybe her life is more evil than Jing Shu, and it can harm people more!

So in her heart, she doesn't want to take such a bad star to Bai's house again!

But since Mrs. Ling Guogong had an appointment, it was also a must, so after thinking about it carefully, she discussed it with Mrs. Bai again.

Old Master Bai pondered for a long time when he heard the words, and said, "Now that the draft has passed a stage, it should be impossible for our sister-in-law to look at the situation. This made the second child recognize the woman, you Let's listen to what Mrs. Ling Guogong has to say, and let's discuss it later."

Looking at his wife's face, she seems to have different meanings. Mrs. Bai knew that she had developed a self-determined and very stubborn temperament over the years, so she persuaded her with good words: "Madam, the new dynasty has been established for more than 20 years. The old things have faded a long time ago. Duke Ling's mansion was able to adopt her for more than ten years, and he also wanted to marry her as his wife. It can be seen that they have made detailed arrangements for this matter, and the risk is not as high as imagined. Not to mention that Duke Ling has high authority So many pairs of eyes are not afraid of staring, who would think of such a petty official like us?"

He wanted to say that the family was down, but he didn't say it.

"Furthermore, she is just the daughter of a princess, and she is not a real princess. The matter may not be as serious as she imagined... Of course, we can't easily accept it, let's see what the Duke of Ling's mansion said. Let's plan how to arrange it."

Old Mrs. Bai was noncommittal about her father's words at the time, but at this time she was thinking about these things over and over again, thinking about the growing estrangement between her second son and herself, and thinking that the mother and daughter of the Chen family are now even more reluctant to open the door to the Bai mansion Stepping into her heart, she was full of plans before she knew it, but it was just how to suppress Jingshu's calamity, solve her opposition to the Bai family, and maximize the benefits from the second room, for the sake of It's just the arrangement of his own direct descendants.

********

Let's also say that Mr. Bai Er sent his daughter Jingshu to the nearby mansion of Chen's family. After meeting Mr. Chen Er and Mrs. Chen Er, they chatted for a while, put their minds at ease, and stayed there for dinner. Only then did he return to the White House overnight.

Back in the mansion, he couldn't wait to open the letter his wife wrote to him and read it at a glance.

It's just obvious that God thinks that the blow and stimulation he received today is not big enough. After his wife told him the good news in front of him and said some things about her and the child in Shuzhong, in the last part of the letter, Brought him another thunderbolt.

At the beginning of the year, however, her 'mother' Mrs. Bai sent two maids to the middle of Shu, saying they were maids for her own wife, but she was caught by Mrs. Yuan and one of the maids, surnamed Ye, used a kind of former A secret medicine secretly used by some great families in the south of the Yangtze River during the dynasty was used to induce the birth of the Chen family.

Chen's body is already weak. With this secret medicine, the fetus should be born early, but it is very dangerous for the mother, ranging from postpartum lingering to the bed, slowly becoming weak and dying, and in severe cases, it may disappear during childbirth. Jade died.

When such a thing happened, and there was a precedent for Mother Lan, Chen was naturally unwilling to give up. Just that day, Princess Shu sent a mother to visit her, so she invited the mother to testify. , tried the mammy surnamed Ye.

Then Madam Ye received the hallucinogenic drugs used by Madam Yuan, but she only confessed that she was instructed by Madam Xue, who was beside the old Madam, and did not involve Madam Bai or other masters of the White House.

In the letter, Mrs. Chen told Mr. Bai Er that the matter was a big deal, and she did not dare to punish the grandmother surnamed Ye privately without permission.

At the end of the letter, there is also a copy of Mammy Ye's drawing document.

After Mr. Bai finished reading the letter, he no longer felt disappointed, angry or disbelieving. He just sat in the armchair for a long time without knowing what he was thinking. No, he didn't even want to think about it. I thought about it, but the most terrifying and malicious thoughts kept coming up.

Considering that my mother has always wanted to control all the property and property of the second room, this cannot be more obvious...

Induce the birth of the wife instead of directly murdering the fetus, because the old grandfather has long said that the fetus in his wife's womb is a male fetus.

The wife gave birth and then became weak and died. She had already experienced dystocia, and now she is giving birth at an advanced age, which seems normal to everyone. According to the character of Mrs. Bai who trusted and filial to her mother in the past, the child will be handed over to her mother to raise.

Such a second room, no, all the property owned by the wife will naturally be taken over by the mother. Even the Chen family can't refute this, because the wife's only son is in the hands of the mother.

If the wife has a son, the Chen family can't take back the dowry. Even if the mother doesn't want to give Jing Shu how much dowry in the future, outsiders can't say anything wrong.

What a cruel heart and a deep calculation.

Second Master Bai sat numbly, with alternating cold and heat all over his body, but his heart seemed numb, he probably just felt ashes.
