Bai Xianyu frowned slightly. “What happened?”
The servant glanced at Ji Shuang and seemed to be a little hesitant.
“When the guards were patrolling as usual today, they saw Bai Yu’er’s family and Old Madam squatting at the back door. I don’t know how they found out that you would return today, but they insisted on seeing you. They even said that if you don’t see them, you are being unfaithful and unfilial, and that they’ll go to Chengtian Manor to sue you tomorrow.”
The Chengtian Manor was the capital’s magistrate office.
Ji Shuang raised her eyebrows and said in a surprised tone, “Little Yu, I told you when you were young that your grandmother was not a kind person. Do you still remember?”
“I remember.”
She continued, “But you treated her very well in the past. Whether it was gold, silver, or satin, you would give her a share of what your brother had given you. Now, you actually have the heart to chase her out of the residence?”
Bai Xianyu chuckled. “Do you think I’m too heartless?”
Ji Shuang snorted, “How can that be? You should cut it off like this. It doesn’t matter whether she’s your grandmother or someone else. There are always some people in the world who like to use the favor they have given as an excuse to ask for repayment, whether it’s for bearing a child, raising a child, or anything else… It doesn’t matter what others think. It’s good as long as you live comfortably and have a clear conscience.”
“Yes.” Bai Xianyu’s red lips curled up slightly as she said to the servants, “Chase them away. If they don’t leave, beat them up. They’re not from our residence. You also don’t have to address her as Old Madam.”
Bai Yu’er’s snow-white dress had already turned yellow from washing. She supported Old Madam with her hand and frowned. “Grandmother, when you go back, you must get Bai Xianyu to compensate for your Little Treasure! Look, I don’t even have a dress to wear. How can I wear such a dress out to meet people?”
Old Madam patted her hand. “Don’t worry. When we go into the residence later, Grandmother will give you those dresses and hairpins in her private vault! Those things in there are all good stuff.You can’t buy them even if you want to!”
“You have to take more! At least take half of it before you forgive her, Grandmother. Otherwise, she won’t learn her lesson!” Bai Yu’er said angrily.
She had gone from heaven to hell during this period. The price of things in the capital was unbelievably high. Renting a house, buying a few kilograms of rice, and soon, her family ran out of money. This was all Bai Xianyu’s fault. She could have been enjoying life in the General’s Manor!
Mdm Meng had already started to pack her clothes. She also straightened Bai Mao and Bai Yuantai’s clothes. “When we go in later, the few of you must puff out your chests and raise your heads! Don’t let that b*tch look down on you!”
The group of people nodded, as if they were certain that Bai Xianyu would definitely open the door and invite them back.
Footsteps came from behind the red door. Then, the bolt was lifted. It was the servant who had helped them pass the message.
Old Madam instantly raised her head and puffed out her chest. She shouted angrily, “Get out of my way! 1 want to punish her well for disobeying her elders!”
Bai Yu’er said, “That’s right. Grandmother, let’s go in quickly!”
As the two of them spoke, they directly hit the door and pushed, wanting to enter!
Suddenly, there was a loud “BANG!”
Old Madam, Bai Yu’er, and the people behind all fell to the ground!
A few expressionless guards stood out from behind the servant and shouted coldly, “Scram!”
The long saber reflected a cold light under the sunlight, causing the hearts of the people to tremble!
Bai Yuantai scolded, “Open your dog eyes wide. We’re the masters of all of you, dog slaves!”
The leading guard sneered. “Master?”
In the next second, a white light flashed, and Bai Yuantai’s robe was cut open. The inner lining and wrinkled flesh were immediately exposed!
“You!! How dare you attack me! My brother is Bai Yuannian!” He was so angry that his voice cracked!
Old Madam trembled in fear. Bai Yu’er tugged at her sleeve and cried, “Grandmother, Cousin is too much!”
“I… I’m…”
The guard was impatient. He drew his saber and walked straight towards the two of them.
Old Madam did not finish her sentence. When she thought of Bai Yuantai’s naked body, her face trembled.
After a long confrontation—
“Let’s go!”
Bai Yu’er gritted her teeth and looked at the General’s Manor resentfully. She was dragged away by Old Madam.
In a cracked corner, Bai Yu’er and her family gathered together with ugly expressions.
“What should we do now? She actually won’t let us go back!”
Bai Yu’er was indignant. “Then let’s report her! Grandmother, report her. It’s the elders who are in the right for such a case. When the time comes, you can pretend to be pitiful. The magistrate of the Chengtian Manor won’t be able to bear it and will definitely let her bring us back!”
“That’s right, that’s right.. As long as you report her for such a disgraceful thing, she definitely won’t be able to do anything!”
