Chapter 27
Bai Heran almost killed Ye when he said that. What does her mother mean that she disagrees with her? Where does she put her dignified mother in this way?
What's more... "How did you ask?"
Bai Heran told Ye: "What did you ask in a dream? My mother doesn't believe it? Then why would my mother tell you myself?"
Ye Shi shivered and shook her head quickly. It is said that Chunyu Lan couldn't even close her eyes when she was hit and died, and stared at the Duke Wen's mansion. She still felt so panicked when she thought of this matter. How could she dare to take on this?
What's more, just like that, she said, and had completed the task assigned to her by the Duke of the Kingdom last night. As for whether to accept the imperial edict, she would rather not accept Bai Heran, otherwise she would be even more difficult to deal with if she had such a big backer as the Tenth Prince. You must know that the Tenth Prince is not only terrifying, but also a more terrifying ninth brother, and a queen of the main palace is supporting her.
Not to mention Ye’s plan, Bai Zhenzhen felt very relieved after hearing Bai Heran’s words and shouted: “By the way! This is what the legitimate daughter should look like!”
The old lady always turned a blind eye to the fact that Hong's mother and daughter had been fighting against Ye for several years. First, because she really didn't like Ye, and second, because Hong's achievements made, she gave birth to the only son of the Bai family.
She knew that Hong was not only annoyed with Ye, but hated him, because when Bai Haoxuan was still in the womb, he almost died at Ye's hands countless times. Even after birth, he had a rough growth. Ye always wanted to get rid of this concubine's son.
Although the Hong family is rich, she does not have the background of a royal relative like the Ye family, so she can't do big things, but she is still happy to fulfill her words.
The old lady thought about these things and couldn't help but give Ye another glance, then waved to Bai Haoxuan, "Come here and let grandma see."
Bai Haoxuan was well-behaved and not as sharp as his aunt and sister. When he saw the old lady summoning her, he ran over to act coquettishly, but he made the old lady happy.
Seeing this scene in Ye's eyes, she gritted her teeth with hatred. Her hands were hunched in her sleeves and clenched into fists, making her joints turn white.
But the old lady didn't plan to pay attention to her. She just hugged Bai Haoxuan and asked Bai Heran kindly: "A Ran, is he determined not to marry?"
Bai Heran nodded and replied to the grandmother who loved her with a kind face, saying, "Aran has been away from Jing for many years and has never performed filial piety in front of her grandmother. Now she has finally come back, so she wants to stay with her grandmother for a few more years, and she doesn't want to get married too early."
After saying this, the old lady burst into tears, "Silly child, grandmother is old, you always want to get married. Grandmother still wants to watch you get married in her lifetime, and she also wants to prepare a dowry for you. Besides, if the imperial edict is accepted, you won't marry immediately, don't you have to wait until you get a hairpin? There is still one year left!"
Bai Heran shook his head, "Grandmother is a kind person, and kind people are rewarded. The president lives a hundred years old. Aran is not in a hurry to marry. If I marry so early, if anyone in this mansion bullies her grandmother in the future, no one will stand up for her."
As soon as this was said, Bai Zhenzhen smiled, "Oh, my second sister is really capable. In the past, my grandmother was the one who stood up for you, so you would just hide behind you and cry. Why, after going out for three years, I figured it out? I've said a long time ago that it's better to fight them with a turtle with no prospects, and it's better to die!"
The old lady glared at Bai Zhenzhen with a little complaint, "Don't teach your second sister badly." But in her heart she felt that Bai Heran's temperament is much better now than before.
Bai Heran looked at Bai Zhenzhen with a smile and said, "The fourth sister is right. I have only realized this truth in recent years. Fortunately, it is not too late. As the fourth sister said, instead of lying on the couch and being rubbed to death all day long, it is better to stand up and resist. Maybe there are still some people who can hold the back."
The second wife, Ye, felt that the scene was a bit out of control. She had always controlled the Duke of Wenguo's mansion. Even in this Jinrong Courtyard, the old lady did not dare to show her an ugly face.
But today, something was wrong.
Ye's eyes swept over everyone present in a cold manner. The mother and daughter of Hong have always been against her. Damn it! The old lady kissed Bai Haoxuan's fat face. Damn it! Bai Heran looked at her with his lips, his eyes full of sarcasm and provocation, and he deserves to die!
If it weren't for the sake of his children, and if it weren't for the hereditary title of Duke Wenguo's Mansion, Ye Zhinan would never have endured these humiliations.
Ye was holding back his anger and held back again and again, but the few people next to him felt that it was not enough to tease Ye like this.
So Aunt Hong's eyes turned and smiled and spoke again: "Miss Second, tell us about what we saw in Luocheng!" As she said that, she cast an anticipated look at Bai Heran.
Bai Heran thought it was very interesting. Everyone in Duke Wen Guo’s mansion was afraid of the Da Ye family, but Aunt Hong and his daughter were not afraid. In fact, they were not afraid. It was just that the mother and daughter had a good personality and had always adhered to the principle that if you don’t let me live a good life, I can’t let you enjoy it. Unless you kill me, as long as you can’t kill me, I will disgust you when I see Tianer.
She felt that these two were really wonderful people, so she was happy to work with them for the time being.
So I thought about it and said, "Luocheng is a small place. I have been sick all the time and haven't gone out to walk around much. Of course, I don't know what's happening outside, but the life of the people in the mansion gave me a lot of feelings. Are you willing to listen?"
Bai Haoxuan, who was hugged by the old helper, clapped his hands first, "I am willing to listen to you, and Xuan'er likes to listen to her second sister telling stories."
Bai Heran nodded, "Then I'll talk about it!" She picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said again: "This feeling comes from the eldest lady of the Bai family in Luocheng. I have lived there for three years. I have seen that the eldest lady values filial piety with her own eyes. Every morning, she goes to the old lady to serve tea without falling, no matter it is windy or rainy. She said that this is the rule passed down by the Bai family from their ancestors, and she can't forget it. Whoever forgets is unfilial, does not deserve to educate her children, and is not worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the Bai family."
As soon as these words were said, Bai Zhenzhen's eyes lit up suddenly, and an unconcealed smile appeared from the bottom of her eyes. This second sister is indeed different from before, so she is so good!
The old lady nodded after hearing this, as if she remembered many past events. After a while, she said, "That's right! The ancestors of the Bai family have followed the etiquette and laws of the East Qin for generations, and filial piety is the first. I remember when my mother-in-law was still alive, I served tea every day and never dared to delay it. Even when Aran's mother entered the Hou Mansion, this rule was always respected."
Bai Heran quickly stopped the words: "What about now?"
Before the old lady could answer, Aunt Hong's giggle came, "Now? Haha, now, who still remembers this?"
Ye sat there, his face changed its color countless times. The hatred in his eyes could make ice.
These people did it on purpose!
No matter how uneasy she could not calm down, her dignified and kind face became abominable, and the teacup in her hand couldn't help but fall to the ground, and with a snap, it made the room completely quiet.
Everyone looked at her. Ye felt that at this moment, she was like a person who had committed a serious crime, being judged by the world, and being forced to lose all her demeanor.
But this was not what she wanted. She endured for more than ten years in order to allow her son to successfully inherit the hereditary title of Duke Wen Guo. Such a big plan would never be ruined by this group of bitches, young and old.
Understanding this point, she immediately began to plan how to recover. Her angry face gradually returned to its original color, and her distorted expression gradually returned to normal. She squatted down and picked up the pieces of porcelain that had fallen all over the floor. She didn't even care about the cut of her finger.
When I stood up and looked up, I was the rich, dignified, kind and kind mistress of the family again.
Bai Zhenzhen scoffed at this, "It's really fast."
Ye ignored her, but just bowed deeply to the old lady, and said in a panic: "Thank you, my mother, for reminding me that in the past, my daughter-in-law only cared about raising children in the back house, and I was indeed negligent in ethics. My mother was right, filial piety is the priority in the family and etiquette. If my daughter-in-law knows her mistake, she will serve tea for the old lady."
As she said, she handed the pieces of porcelain in her hand to the servants, and then said, "Go and prepare a new tea."
When the old lady heard this, her throat suddenly became itchy again and she couldn't help but cough. When she coughed, she remembered the pot of flowers again, and the person who sent the flowers was Ye's son, so she didn't get angry.
"You can't afford the tea you serve."
"Mother has ruined her daughter-in-law." Ye quickly knelt down. She couldn't understand. Although the old lady had never liked her, she had been in the Bai family for more than ten years. She had not liked her and had a habit. Why did she suddenly feel so disgusted with her today?
The old lady's cough could not stop. Bai Heran walked forward and reached out to pat her back a few times. No one knew that her few strokes seemed casual, but in fact she pressed her knuckles and pressed several acupoints. The old lady's cough stopped immediately as she pressed them.
Facing the old lady's puzzled gaze, Bai Heran didn't say much about this, but just continued the previous topic: "Since my mother has this kindness, grandmother should not smear others' kindness. It should be exercised and mature again. When I come to serve tea again tomorrow, I will be familiar with it."
Below, Aunt Hong giggled when she heard it, "Second Lady, after giving this one, she will come every day from now on."
Ye gritted his teeth, "This is all right."
Unable to make Ye so angry, Aunt Hong turned her head and said to Bai Zhenzhen, "See, this is called a legitimate lady. The rule in the mansion must be a serious legitimate lady. Hey? Speaking of which, what about the eldest lady in our mansion? Why didn't she come today? And Sister Xiao Ye, why can't she come to pay tribute to the old lady?"
Ye quickly explained: "Jinghong went out of the house to choose clothes and materials for A Ran. Hua Yan was copying the girl and the girl was training. I also scolded her yesterday and asked Xiao Ye to supervise the child to prevent the child from being lazy." After saying that, he said to Bai He Ran apologetically, "The things yesterday were all misunderstandings. Your elder sister had a good intention, but she didn't expect that she would almost overstep the rules after using her efforts. And that old woman was also not strict with her mother, and she had already dealt with her."
After a few words, I chose myself cleanly.
Bai Heran smiled, but didn't say that, but just looked outside the door and said, "Mother, tea is here."
Chapter completed!
