Chapter 67 Don't let them live too happily
"The grandmother is angry, but this time his father was frustrated is also a good thing." Bai Heran told the old lady, "The power is a double-edged sword. Only when the father keeps seeing how sharp the sharp blade is on his side, can he gradually become tired and turn back after this sharp cut."
The old lady suddenly realized that yes, her son used to only think about how good Ye was and how much glory he could bring to him, but he didn't know that while receiving these glory, what he needed to pay was the dignity of a man.
"It's my Aran who can see things clearly." The old lady sighed, "I was wrong. Although Ye's strength is hateful, we should cultivate her strength, because only by letting your father suffer repeated blows can he understand who is the enemy, who is the friend, who is good, who is evil." The old lady held Bai Heran's hand and finally smiled again, "It seems that my Aran has really grown up. My grandmother will listen to you in the future. You can do whatever you say. Let's work together to bring your father back."
"And I, grandma, don't forget Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen will work hard with you." Bai Zhenzhen came over and smiled and acted coquettishly with the old lady. "You are not afraid of being unfilial to the second lady. Isn't it that my aunt still has my aunt? The aunt always said that before the eldest lady left the mansion, she had to take good care of the old lady, and as long as the old lady is there, the Duke Wenguo's mansion will be like a home."
When she heard her mention Chunyu Lan, the old lady's smile turned into tears again. Looking back on the years when Chunyu Lan married into the Bai family, she was filial to her mother-in-law, and was tolerant and cared for Bai Xingyan's concubine. When the Hong family, who had just entered the mansion, she had been severely punished, and even had the idea of driving people out of the mansion or getting divorced. Chunyu Lan persuaded her heart and pleaded for Hong family, and only then could she save Hong's life.
Such a good wife ended up like that because of her family's involvement. Now it makes people sigh whenever she thinks of it.
The old lady said to Bai Heran: "Actually, I advised your father back then that even if your uncle failed to fight for the throne and failed to become the king of the Xiaofan Kingdom, it would be nothing. We will live our lives and will not be affected by any influence. Unless the small country is an enemy of Dong Qin, the little disaster should not affect your mother at all. What's more, even the current monarch is your uncle, and he is also your grandfather's biological son! But your father doesn't listen, he is blinded by power and can't see anything, otherwise he wouldn't marry Ye again."
Bai Heran still smiled and didn't talk to each other immediately. In fact, everyone understands these principles, but as the old lady said, Bai Xingyan was blinded by power, and had all the mechanisms to marry Chunyu Lan, and waited for Chunyu Lan's brother to ascend the throne as the king of the country, and he became the brother-in-law of the king of Gebu. With such a backer, even if he is as powerful as Dong Qin, the people in the court should look up to him.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little bad, Bai Zhenzhen took the initiative to speak, "It's all the past. Let's go over it. Didn't you always say that people should look forward? We should think more about the future. Grandma, don't you worry, no matter what happens, my aunt will always be filial to you, and I will always stand by my sister. Zhenzhen has never recognized her in her heart."
The old lady was very pleased after hearing this. Thinking about it, Hong did not hate her for the past few years, but instead treated her very well. At first she thought that Hong was needed a backer, but now she thought about it, what kind of backer she was? The reason why she was kind to her was because Chunyu Lan had an instructor before leaving.
She sighed and pulled Bai Zhenzhen's hand over, "It's hard for you two to be over the years..."
After coming out of Jinrongyuan, Bai Zhenzhen said disdainfully: "On our father, do you think we can really get it back with this kind of effort? Ye's double-edged sword has cut him down for so many years. Why do I see him becoming more and more courageous?"
Bai Heran nodded, "It is true that he is getting braver the more he is getting stronger."
"Then why do you still say that to the old lady?"
"Do you understand if you comfort the old man?" she sighed helplessly, "You can't tell your grandmother directly that her son is helpless. The way to fight for power must be black, and even ten horses can't be pulled back. The old lady is so old, do you think she can afford this?"
Bai Zhenzhen stuck out her tongue, "That's right. But since we can't pull it back, it doesn't make sense to quarrel with Ye and angry with her father! Anyway, those two people can't get rid of their anger, what are we trying to do?"
Bai Heran looked at this sister like a fool, "I am usually very smart, why are you stupid now? Then what have you gotten from those of them bullied me and tormented me over the years? Can you really kill me? Not. But it can allow me to live a life that is worse than death in life."
"So what you mean is that if they can't be separated, they have to respond to them?"
"Yes! They can't live too much. On the way Bai Xingyan pursues power, how can he be worthy of the miserable childhood he gave me without setting up any more obstacles?"
At that time, Bai Xingyan was standing in front of the study room in the center of Wutong Garden. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the room in front of him with a gloomy expression, and suppressing the urge to burn out several times.
This is a study that the Bai family has used for several generations of Wenguo. When he was young, he believed that this was a very solemn and sacred place, because only by accepting hereditary titles can he enter here and become the owner of this place.
However, now this place carries the greatest shame in his life. As long as he sees this study, he can recall that nightmare.
Ye’s family is nothing, the key is that Nie Wu, a slave, actually humiliated him like that, and even cut him into pieces, he could not calm the anger in his heart.
Because of that incident, he had a strong resistance to this study room. Just like now, people are standing in front of the study room, but their steps are so heavy that they can't get in. But where can they go if they don't enter the study room? After that, he felt disgusted when he saw his wives and concubines, including Hongshi.
That kind of nausea is not subjective, but a natural reaction from the body. It is like a person eating a dish every day and getting hurt over time. He wants to vomit after a while.
In the past two days, Bai Xingyan has been sleeping in Bai Haochen's house. Fortunately, the eldest son has not come back from studying abroad, otherwise the huge Duke of Wenguo would have almost disappeared.
Bai Xingyan sighed and turned around and left Wutong Garden, and walked towards Bai Haochen's Taoguang Pavilion. On the way, he passed by the front yard and ordered the housekeeper: "Hold someone to build another study room for my country in Wutong Garden. You can choose the place at will. In short, the farther away from the original study, the better."
The housekeeper didn't know what happened that day, and just thought that maybe one was not enough or another one was built for guests. The original study had been used by generations of lords, and the books accumulated were also a little small, so he went to find someone to do business without hesitation.
Bai Xingyan actually wanted to warn Ye in person. The previous incident at Jinrongyuan made him angry, it was simply a shame. The old empress dowager didn't treat him as a human being.
But this impulse was forced to suppress him after a few twists in his heart. His relationship with Ye was already very tense and could not deteriorate anymore, and he didn't want to offend the queen mother because of such a small matter. It was just a small matter. What kind of trend would he be with a big man to fight for every family? The old lady was still tough and could stand out among the many concubines of the late emperor and live until now. She was not a good-looking lamp. Maybe this time she was testing him, and she had to stand up and stand up for the test.
Furthermore, the Guo family, the Ye family’s maternal ancestor, is not easy to mess with. In the future, if they want to push Bai Jinghong to a high position, they will not be able to do without the power of the Guo family. If he wants to be the father-in-law, he has to endure all these things.
Only by enduring hardships can one become the best.
Thinking of this, he felt a little better.
On the other end of the Fuxi Courtyard, Ye received a report and said that the master went to Taoguang Pavilion, and Ye realized it.
Well, she didn't know how to face Bai Xingyan at the moment. Whether it was soft or hard was not suitable. If the relationship between the two needs to be eased, it would take another opportunity. She had to find another way to restore the two to the past, so that Bai Xingyan would continue to respect, love, and rely on her. She knew in her heart that only when the man kept asking for her could this relationship be maintained closer.
Bai Jinghong had heard Ye talk about Jinrongyuan, and couldn't help but feel scared, "If I go later, it's okay, at least it won't involve me." She began to reflect on herself, "My daughter still can't practice, otherwise she shouldn't speak casually, which would arouse her father's anger in vain."
Ye comforted her: "It's right to be more careful, but it's not entirely your fault. After all, the reason why this family became like this was the thing that Bai Heran took on. If it weren't for her, everything would be like before. Although we were occasionally teased and squeezed by the Hong family mother and daughter, we could still use our identity to crush them. Your father wouldn't show us his face because of them."
When Bai Heran mentioned, Bai Jinghong was so angry that his teeth were itchy. From the day he heard that Bai Heran would be brought back, the idea of getting rid of her had already taken root in her heart. She would never allow anyone else to share the honor of her legitimate daughter with her.
Ye naturally understood his daughter's thoughts. She told Bai Jinghong: "Don't worry, even if you want to remove it, you can't dirty our hands, especially yours. Remember, the best way to use force to fight is to give others what you want to do, and keep it safe. Even if others fight to the death, you are still the holy lady of the Bai family."
After Ye finished speaking, he got up and fiddled with the birthday gifts sent from the palace. After looking at them, he picked up a pair of heads and faces, picked a few pieces of cloth, stuffed all of these things into his double rings' hands, and told her: "Go and bring them to Aunt Ye and Miss Five..."
