Chapter 92: Breaking Up
Tian Erlang was wary of this pretty boy. After taking only two steps, he suddenly turned around and glared at Bai Jie, who was following him. He said, "It's getting dark. Sir, it's not appropriate for you, a foreigner, to be here. Please leave."
Bai Jie smiled and said, "I just arrived first. My grandfather will probably bring someone to see you in a little while. Please, General Rong, let me stay for a while. I will leave with my grandfather after I finish my business."
Tian Erlang ignored his excuses and unceremoniously tried to kick Bai Jie out, but Ah Xuan said, "It's only evening now, the sun hasn't set yet, so it's not too late."
Tian Erlang said to her angrily, "You're a girl, don't you care about your reputation? Don't take advantage of the fact that no one is home to do anything wrong. I've watched you grow up. I'm more than ten years older than you, so I'm your elder. You can call me uncle, and you have to listen to me. If you don't, I'll beat you."
Tian Erlang tried to use his generational relationship to pressure others, but A Xuan didn't buy it. She smiled and said, "My sister and I are of the same generation. If you want me to call you uncle, you have to ask my sister."
"Hey, little girl, are you trying to stop me with words?"
Ah Xuan smiled and ran away, not wanting him to pinch her. She turned and ran behind Bai Jie, who quickly reached out to stop her, "General Tian, calm down."
Ah Xuan hid behind Bai Jie and made a face. Tian Erlang snorted, "Just wait. In a few days, when your parents, sister, and brother-in-law come, someone will take care of you."
Tian Erlang stopped arguing with her. While she wasn't paying attention, he pulled her out from behind Bai Jie, took her arm and threw her to the Gu family's steward: "Take your young lady inside. There will be guests coming soon. Don't let her out and embarrass herself."
The Tian family and the Gu family are not blood relatives but are better than blood relatives. The Tian Erlang brothers are just like their own family in the Gu family. The servants of the Gu family have to call him Second Master, and no one in the Gu family dares to disobey what he says.
Ah Xuan stared at the white steps, and the steward hurriedly advised, "Miss, please listen to the Second Master. Now that the Second Master is here, he will naturally handle the matters outside."
Tian Erlang gave her a look of disdain and said, "Let's go now. That idiot who made you angry was named Si, right? Bai Shijie will definitely send someone here soon. Just wait for your second brother to vent his anger on you."
Things have developed to this point. Si Er, the idiot who started it, is the least important. A Xuan won't leave. She still has something to say.
"What do you want to say?"
Ah Xuan glanced at Bai Jie and said to Tian Erlang with a smile, "I heard that the eldest grandson of the Bai family, who was born out of wedlock, is in cahoots with that scoundrel surnamed Si. If he wants to vent his anger on me, don't forget the one who stabbed me in the back."
Tian Jilang didn't ask her where she got the news, he just said he knew it.
After saying this, Ah Xuan left. When she reached the second gate, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Bai Jie, the mutton soup you sent yesterday was good. Please send some back."
Bai Jie nodded and said, "I'm afraid it's too late today. How about sending it tomorrow?"
A Xuan nodded with satisfaction.
After Axuan left, Tian Erlang looked at Bai Jie with even more hostility.
Tian Jilang was a reckless person when he was young. Not to mention the two years of hardship he spent in exile to Songjiang City, he later joined the army and was supported by the Gu family and rose through the ranks. He had the ability and background, and he never lost in fights with others, so his temperament became more and more domineering.
Stared at by Tian Jilang's ferocious eyes, Bai Jie couldn't help but sweat on his back, but he still maintained a humble smile on his face.
"Bai Jie, right? I don't know what you said to Axuan. This general is telling you clearly here. Axuan is our spoiled child. She has always been the only one who schemes against others, and no one else has the right to scheme against her. If you want to use her to accomplish something, but the Gu family and Princess Qi don't agree, your shady little schemes will be in vain."
"General Tian, you're worrying too much. Axuan and I are both juniors under the protection of our family elders. Naturally, our elders have to approve our affairs." Bai Jie hinted at something.
Tian Erlang gave Bai Jie a show of force, sneered, and left, asking his servants to bring him food as he walked.
Bai Jie didn't feel left out. When Tian Erlang went to the front yard hall, he followed him. When the food was served, Tian Erlang sat down and started eating. Bai Jie was not polite and followed him in for dinner.
"Bring the tea, I want to drink the photos."
After finishing his meal, Tian Jilang put down his chopsticks and went to sit in the empty study in the outer courtyard.
When Tian Erlang went to the study, Bai Jie naturally followed him. Tian Erlang didn't chase him away when he saw him following him, but just pretended he didn't exist.
Tian Erlang didn't say anything, and Bai Jie didn't try to find conversation. The two of them stayed in the same room, drinking their own tea until Bai Shijie arrived.
Tian Jilang stood up suddenly, an aura emanating from him, confidence and determination. The sharpness and dominance of the military commander frightened Bai Jie.
Ten years ago, Bai Jie had seen this kind of military temperament in his grandfather, but it has become rare in recent years. Not to mention the size of the military rank, just talking about the ability of a military general to make a living, this General Tian can definitely compete with his grandfather.
General Tian is just an ordinary general under the command of Prince Qi's Mansion. How many military talents like General Tian are there in Prince Qi's Mansion?
Bai Jie came to a conclusion in his mind, and he thought that it was the best option for the Bai family to surrender to Prince Qi's Mansion.
Tian Erlang looked at Bai Jie and said, "Boy, you are more sensible than your grandfather. As a military commander, sometimes being too sensible is a sign of weakness. Such a person is not worthy of being a commander. Don't look down on your grandfather. He was able to defend a region for a reason."
Bai Jie bowed and said, "Thank you, General Tian, for your guidance. I have always respected and loved my grandfather, and I have no other intentions."
Tian Erlang didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just walked out of the door. The hall that was a mess of cups and plates had been cleaned up.
The Gu family's steward came in from the courtyard gate and bowed, "Second Master, the guest has entered the gate."
"Bring it here."
Bai Shijie did not come alone. He brought three of his deputy generals with him, as well as Si Erlang, who had been imprisoned in the mansion and had been hungry for a day.
"Deputy General Tian has come from afar, and I hope I will forgive you for not welcoming you in person."
"General Bai, you're too polite. We're all colleagues, and we're all brothers."
Bai Shijie narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze blazing. "Tian boy, what are you talking about colleagues? What are you talking about brothers?"
The Yanzhou Army is still receiving food and wages from the court on the surface, but secretly they have long disobeyed the court's orders. Ha, you are a traitor.
For Bai Shijie, colleagues and brothers naturally refer to the imperial court. For Tian Erlang, it naturally refers to the Prince Qi's Mansion.
The two of them were talking about different things, with smiles on their faces and knives in their eyes. The atmosphere was really ugly.
Bai Jie took a step forward: "Grandson greets grandfather."
Bai Shijie turned his head and saw Bai Jie, a smile appeared on his face: "Grandfather knows everything you have done. You have worked hard these past two days."
Bai Jie interrupted the confrontation. Bai Shijie's expression changed, and he patted Tian Erlang's shoulder affectionately, saying with a smile, "We are all heroes guarding the border. Seriously speaking, we are brothers. We are family, so let's not talk about our differences. Let's sit down and solve the problems that need to be solved. Brother Tian, you are making a big deal out of nothing by bringing troops all the way to my Dongliao City."
Tian Erlang pretended not to understand: "What's the big deal? Our General Liu ordered me out here just to train the troops. General Bai, you're also the commander-in-chief. Don't you understand our General Liu's painstaking efforts?"
Bai Shijie laughed heartily. "I understand, I understand. What's there to not understand? I wonder how many days Vice-General Tian plans to train his troops?"
Tian Erlang's face wrinkled into a mess, and he sighed: "We don't know yet. Let's wait for news from General Liu. We can only go back if General Liu tells us to. Alas, my words don't count. I just want to go back early, but my words don't count."
Bai Shijie clenched his teeth, endured it again and again, and finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Your 10,000 soldiers and horses need to spend a lot of money on food and fodder. It's not a good idea to train them outside like this without returning."
Tian Erlang slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "General Bai is really smart. General Bai and I have the same idea. Hey, I thought that if we are short of food in the next two days, I can borrow a few days of food and grass from General Bai. After I finish training the troops, I will go back and report to our General Liu and then return it to you. What do you think?"
Tian Erlang acted like a good brother and patted Bai Shijie's shoulder affectionately: "The court has not yet delivered the food and wages for your Liaodong Army in the second half of the year. When the food and fodder for you pass through Shanhaiguan after the autumn harvest, this general asked a group of brothers to help escort it for you as a way of saying thank you."
During the conversation, Tian Erlang did not mention the troublemaker Si Er at all. Every word he said was hitting the weak spot of the Liaodong Army. Bai Shijie was furious inside, but he still had to smile at him.
In Bai Jie's memory, his grandfather had always been a tall, mighty, and decisive man. Today, when he saw Tian Yongkang, who was a generation younger than his grandfather, controlling his grandfather in this way, he knew that the Bai family was really doomed.
Bai Jie: "Grandfather, the Gu family's tea is excellent, would you like to try it?"
Bai Jie spoke up to help, and Tian Erlang's eyes narrowed. Is it your turn to make the decision for the Gu family?
Baijie Okita Jiro smiled slightly and said, "General Tian is probably thirsty too."
Tian Erlang still remembered that there was a little girl in the backyard who had taken a fancy to this pretty boy. He coughed lightly and said, "Master Bai, I am really thirsty now. General Bai, everyone, please come in."
A group of people went to the hall to drink tea. Si Er was thrown in with his hands and feet tied. Tian Jilang frowned: "How dare you throw something so dirty and smelly in front of this general? Come on, throw it out for this general."
"yes."
The one who answered was Tian Jilang's close follower. The young and energetic general was definitely not a meticulous person. After receiving the order from his general, the two rough-handed and clumsy generals attacked together. The tied-up Si Er was kicked away and slammed into the threshold of the hall.
Si Er cried out in pain and shouted to his uncle for help.
"Be careful, if you break the threshold, you can fix it later. And this, this, this, this, it's not New Year's Eve, why are you yelling and screaming?"
Tian Erlang thought his attendants were incompetent, so the two men immediately realized their mistakes and stuffed their mouths with the sweat-wiping cloths from their waists. Then, they picked up the men and threw them out the door, then kicked them again. The dull sound of the impact was like a sandbag hitting the ground.
A trace of worry rose in Bai Shijie's heart, but seeing Ueda Jiro's half-smile, Bai Shijie pretended that he didn't hear it.
"General Bai, I heard that your eldest grandson encouraged this idiot to go out and embarrass himself? Your Bai family really has good family education."
Bai Shijie didn't agree with this: "That's not true. Where did you hear that, General Tian?"
Tian Erlang sneered and said, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."
Bai Jie drank his tea seriously without looking up. Even though he felt the inquiring gaze of his grandfather opposite him, he just drank his tea.
The tea he drank was hot, but Bai Jie felt that his heart was very cold.
"General Bai, have some tea." Tian Jilang stopped asking questions.
Bai Shijie had no interest in drinking tea at the moment. He just wanted to know what this boy named Tian was going to do.
Tian Erlang didn't think about anything. In his words, he was just a deputy general who was ordered to train the troops. He knew that his family's younger generation was in Dongliao City, so he came to check on them.
Tian Erlang, who was very talkative just now, now kept his mouth shut again. No matter how Bai Shijie tried to test him, Tian Erlang refused to respond.
After drinking two pots of tea, the water in my stomach would start to slosh if I drank any more. It was getting late outside, so it was time to see the guests off.
Put down the teacup gently and send the guest away!
Bai Jie hesitated for a moment and didn't get up. Tian Erlang hummed softly: "Master Bai, please."
Bai Shijie suppressed his anger and said, "Jie'er, go back with grandfather."
Tian Erlang made his attitude clear: even if Si Er died here today, this matter would not be resolved peacefully. If that was the case, why should the Bai family be left to embarrass Tian Erlang?
Bai Jie nodded and followed his grandfather out. Before he even walked out of the yard, he was stopped by the steward of the Gu family, who told him to take the people they brought back themselves.
Si Er, beaten half to death with broken arms and legs, was dragged out like a dead dog. As soon as Bai Shijie left the Gu family's gate, he ordered his servants, angrily saying, "Send him back to the Si family tonight and don't let him get in my way."
When Bai Shijie came here, he did not ride a horse for the sake of his reputation. He came in a carriage. Naturally, he had to go back in a carriage now.
"Jie'er, come up, I have something to ask you."
"yes."
The Bai family's carriage was not very spacious, and there was not much space for the grandparents and grandchildren to sit in it. Although their bodies were close, their hearts were far apart.
Bai Shijie had many questions he wanted to ask his grandson, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them because once he asked those questions, he, as a grandfather, would lose face in front of his grandson.
Bai Shijie didn't say anything, and even though Bai Jie knew everything, he kept silent. The grandfather and grandson remained in such an awkward state until they returned to the mansion.
"Grandfather, you are back, your grandson is here to welcome you."
Bai Jie lifted the carriage curtain and saw Bai Lin waiting beside him with a lantern. Bai Jie nodded at him and said, "Brother, Grandfather is inside."
The smile on Bai Lin's face froze for a moment, and he nodded and said, "Second brother is back."
Bai Jie didn't have the heart to pretend to be nice to his elder brother. He got off the carriage and waited for his grandfather to get off before saying, "Grandfather, I haven't been home for two days. I have to go pay my respects to my mother. I'll take my leave now."
Bai Shijie hummed: "You don't have to go to Gu's house anymore. It would be better for you to stay at home and accompany your mother."
Bai Shijie walked away, and Bai Lin hurriedly followed him.
As soon as Bai Shijie left, the servants who had come to greet him hurriedly followed with lanterns in their hands. The corridor, which had been bright just a moment ago, suddenly became dark, as if Bai Jie was left alone in the night.
Zhang Shan, who had just been pushed far away, came over with a lantern and said, "Master, shall we go back?"
"Well, let's go back."
The eldest lady knew that her son would be back tonight, so she didn't even have dinner and waited for her son until this hour.
Bai Jie said as he entered the room, "I'm sorry to have made my mother worry about her son."
The eldest lady took a few quick steps and hurriedly pulled her son up to look him over. Seeing that he was fine, she asked quietly, "Did someone just send word that Si Erlang has been sent back?"
After all, the eldest lady is the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest son's family. The old lady doesn't take care of things. She holds the power of the housekeeper in the mansion. Although she never leaves the house, someone will report the news from outside to her.
Bai Jie looked at the untouched food on the table, helped his mother over to sit down, and personally served her soup, saying, "If he doesn't die, he'll be crippled. Just leave him alive."
"How could that young lady from the Gu family be so cruel?"
Bai Jie smiled faintly and said, "Why should she take action for such a small matter? She doesn't need to open her mouth. The elders will protect her and help her vent her anger."
The eldest lady covered her chest and asked, "Si Er is like this, so let's just forget about it?"
"No, Si Er's worthless life is not worth Miss Gu's words, and it is not worth the Yanzhou army's 10,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the city."
"So... you just came back with your grandfather, right? What did your grandfather say?"
"Grandfather couldn't do anything to that Deputy General Tian, and he didn't dare to confront Prince Qi's Mansion. All he could do was delay."
What would happen if Grandfather dragged on? Should he hope that Prince Qi's Mansion would change its mind and let the Bai family go? Or should he hope that the imperial court would send troops to rescue them?
Oh, the more Bai Jie learned over the past year or two, the more he felt his grandfather was no longer the one he remembered. His grandfather wasn't old in body, but his heart was. Perhaps it was because he'd lived in Liaodong for so many years without resorting to war that his spirit had faded.
"You came to me because your grandfather was fooled away by that kid Bai Lin again."
Bai Jie picked up his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Tell him to go. Mother, please stop staring at my eldest brother's courtyard. I'm not young anymore. You should think about my marriage."
The eldest lady said angrily, "I didn't think about it. You didn't like any of the young ladies I found for you. You also didn't like your cousin from your uncle's family who is pretty and literate. These are the only outstanding girls in Dongliao City. Where else can I find you?"
Bai Jie said, "If there's nothing in Dongliao City, then go look for it in Songjiang City."
"Songjiang City?" The eldest lady knew her own son well. "Tell me, are you interested in someone?"
"My son has taken a fancy to Miss Gu."
"Gu family?"
Is it the Gu family she knows?
Bai Jie nodded slightly.
The eldest lady was startled by her son. Her voice rose a few notches, but she lowered it again to avoid being heard. She slapped her son hard and said, "That's Princess Qi's biological sister. To be frank, Miss Gu has the same status as a princess or a princess outside the Great Wall. What does our family have? What do you have? Why would someone marry you? You really want to cause trouble for your mother."
The eldest lady spoke for a while, then calmed down and continued, "If your grandfather values you and is willing to pass on the Bai family to you, rather than your father and uncles, then mother can help you propose marriage to the Gu family."
After all, she still doted on this son. What she said before would definitely not work. The eldest lady came up with a way for her son after her words, thinking about how to make her son happy.
Bai Jie smiled and said, "You don't need to worry so much. My son has already mentioned it to Miss Gu."
The eldest lady's eyes lit up: "How did you bring that up? And what did Miss Gu say?"
Bai Jie relayed everything he had said to Miss Gu to his mother, and then he said, "Miss Gu is interested, but she has to listen to her family on matters of marriage. Her parents should be coming over in a few days. Whether it will work out depends on what the Gu family says."
The eldest lady thought about the connection carefully, and then said: "Son, you are waiting to be chosen by someone. Don't be idle these few days. When you have time, go to the Gu family more often. Regardless of the status of the family, give Miss Gu something she likes. It is also a token of your thoughtfulness."
If you want something, you must fight for it.
"Grandfather has already told me to stay at home these few days and not go to Gu's house."
The eldest lady sneered, "Don't worry about him. Your grandfather's heart has long been biased. He only cares about Bai Lin. Go to the Gu family privately, early in the morning or in the evening, and try to avoid people."
After all, Miss Gu is an unmarried young lady. It would not be good if a young man came to her house every day and was seen by others. We have to consider the lady's reputation.
The eldest lady said: "Secrecy is the best way to accomplish things. Don't tell anyone about your relationship with Miss Gu until it's resolved. The servants around you who know the inside story will also be punished. Also, don't let Bai Lin's men target you when you go out. They can cause trouble."
Bai Jie said he understood: "Miss Gu likes our fish and mutton hot pot."
The eldest lady immediately said, "Send the cook to the Gu family tomorrow morning, along with the indenture."
"Mother is very thoughtful."
"If you and Miss Gu are going to be together, your uncle's mother will go and tell him that if they don't have enough money, they will borrow money to build the port and make the betrothal gift you offer decent."
"Thank you, mother."
"We won't talk about this between mother and son. It's because your grandfather is partial and your father is useless that you're in such a difficult situation. Even something as important as getting married has you having to figure it out on your own."
Bai Jie smiled. In the past, he felt really uncomfortable when he longed to be valued and loved by his grandfather and father. But now, he understood and no longer felt embarrassed.
After Bai Jie finished discussing things with his mother, he had dinner and returned to his own courtyard. On the way back, he met his elder brother Bai Lin on the corridor with hanging flowers.
The two brothers exchanged a few polite words of concern and then left.
At the end of the corridor, Bai Lin turned around and his brother, who was always good at putting on airs, had disappeared behind him.
"Send someone to the Si family to deliver medicine, and find a way to let Auntie know. Only Grandfather and my second brother know the details of my cousin's injury."
The servant beside him whispered, "I heard that the Madam has hidden away a lot of valuables like ginseng and deer antlers. If Madam knew about this, she would definitely send someone to ask. Our general has always loved Madam, and he loves her so much that he loves her too. Maybe he can ask the Madam to give the valuables to Madam."
Bai Lin laughed and scolded: "Good servant, you know how to do things."
The servant chuckled and said, "It's all thanks to your good training, Master."
Everyone in those who serve them knows that as long as they can suppress the eldest lady and the second young master and make the eldest lady and her son suffer, the eldest young master will definitely be happy.
Bai Lin was valued by Bai Shijie, and he had many loyal servants at his command. Two days later, Bai Shijie's sister came to the Bai family in Dongliao City in person, crying and asking her brother to make the decision for her.
After all, she was his biological sister, and Bai Shijie felt sorry for her. This time, her only son almost died, so naturally he gave her whatever she wanted and just asked the first lady to take care of it.
The aunt ran to the eldest lady's yard, changed her crying appearance, and spoke harshly, saying that it was all Bai Jie's fault that her son suffered so much, and asked Bai Jie to compensate for her son's life.
The aunt pretended to be ignorant even though she knew the truth. She did not dare to offend her elder brother, and even more so, she did not dare to offend the prominent Gu family. She only scolded her nephew's wife who was the head of the family and was a generation younger than her.
Even though the eldest lady had gotten used to this old lady's expression over the years, she was still furious this time. Her son was her life, and this crazy woman dared to curse her son like this.
She slammed the table and stood up, causing the tea bowl to roll all over the floor, spilling tea everywhere. The eldest lady was furious: "Madam Gu will definitely not believe what I say. Let's go find the general and Miss Gu right now and confront them face to face. Madam Gu will ask your eldest brother in person why he kidnapped your son and sent him to the Gu family, and why the Gu family beat your son."
"Well, you're so powerful now that you don't even look down on me, your elder. My Bai family can't afford a daughter-in-law like you!"
The eldest lady made her point clear and refused to tolerate it. She said in a cold voice, "Madam, you are a daughter who married out. It is not your place to speak on the affairs of the Bai family. If you really want to make things difficult for me, you can go to the general and your nephew and ask them to divorce me. Even if I leave the Bai family, I will not lack a single grain of food. Unlike you, who is already old and still has the audacity to come to the Bai family to beg for food and drink, you are pathetic!"
Being poked in the back and scolded by the eldest lady, the old lady rolled her eyes and fainted, scaring all the servants.
The eldest lady said angrily, "What are you arguing about? Are there no rules?" The eldest lady has been the housekeeper for many years and has accumulated great authority. When she opened her mouth, the servants were so scared that they knelt down and dared not speak.
"My aunt has fainted from joy. Let's carry her back."
Without even finding a decent excuse, the servants hurriedly carried the old lady out of the door. The servants of the Si family were panicked and didn't know what to do.
Without waiting for anyone else to complain, the eldest lady went to her father-in-law's yard to plead guilty. She knelt down and cried, "It's one thing for Auntie to force things from my daughter-in-law's dowry, but why is she cursing my son to death all the time? Is there any elder like this? How has my Jie'er ever wronged her? Please, father, help my Jie'er!"
Bai Shijie had been used to cleaning up the mess for his naive sister for years, but he was already annoyed by Tian Yongkang's constant pestering for food and money. When his daughter-in-law made such a fuss, Bai Shijie scolded her, "Kick her out and send her back to the Si family. How old is she and she's still not a troublemaker?"
Bai Shijie just scolded his sister, that's all.
Mrs. Bai was not willing to let it go, so she immediately ordered someone to spread the news secretly. Within two days, the bad things about the Si family were spread everywhere, and Bai Shijie, who indulged his sister, also had his reputation ruined. Even the fact that Bai Shijie favored his illegitimate grandson over his legitimate grandson was brought up, and the dignity of Bai Shijie, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Army, was completely destroyed.
It would be fine if it was just the people in the city spreading gossip, but no one knows who is behind it, but in recent days, rumors have spread among the Liaodong Army generals that Commander Bai Shijie is unworthy of his position.
"It's a lie that his virtue doesn't match his position. The truth is that the Liaodong Army, from top to bottom, is unwilling to fight against Prince Qi's Mansion."
Tian Erlang smiled and said to Gu Youan who had just arrived in Dongliao City: "Over the years, our Qi Wangfu has been infiltrating the Liaodong Army quite vigorously."
Bai Shijie would eventually pass away. Gu Youan didn't care what happened to him. She said to her parents, "Bai Jie and his mother are not soft-hearted. If Axuan marries Bai Jie, she will definitely be sad if they have a disagreement in the future."
Gu Wen and Mrs. Du also thought so, but Axuan thought Bai Jie was better.
"What are you afraid of? It's better to deal with smart people than stupid people."
"If they were truly smart, they would know that praising me would bring far more benefits than bullying me."
"Sister, Mom and Dad, don't worry. If they dare to make me unhappy, I will definitely complain to you."
Gu Youan scolded, "You can't listen to anything else now. You only see the benefits of getting married, right?"
A Xuan smiled and leaned on her mother's arm. She just felt that this marriage was a good one.
Gu Wen asked Mrs. Du what she meant. What could she do? She couldn't control An An back then, and now she couldn't control A Xuan either.
"I can't help you two sisters. Just deal with it yourselves."
Seeing her sister was about to criticize her again, A Xuan immediately said, "You haven't even met Bai Jie yet, and you think he's bad at all. That's too arbitrary."
The whole family looks at each other, so, let’s meet?
See!
Only after meeting Baijie can we decide what to do next.
