As we all know, when people do something bad and try to justify themselves, they will use proof by contradiction.
However, Du Wenqing's pale words, coupled with this obvious fact, made no one in the Bai family willing to pay attention to him.
"Just tell me the solution."
Jiang looked at Du Wenqing, who was slumped on the ground. He no longer looked as glorious as he did back then.
Now he still does such shameful things, he is even worse than the beggars on the street.
She glanced at Su Yunxi and thought that everyone has their own destiny. In any case, her Bai family and she were not destined to be together.
On the other side, Du Wenqing, who was almost crying, saw that Bai Heng and Jiang's attitude was so resolute, and knew that it would be impossible for him to get a ride on the Prime Minister's Mansion again.
I couldn't help but feel angry. A year ago, it was his daughter who took the initiative to tease me.
Is Bai Shu being shameless, following him like a tail all day long, and now she dislikes him?
So how could he easily let them have their way?
Du Wenqing used his hand to push back the hair that was covering half of his face and said calmly,
"This matter is ultimately shameful. As long as the Bai family doesn't say anything and I don't say anything, no one will know about it."
"Yunxi and I were already engaged, so there's nothing wrong with this happening. But if it gets out, it's bad for the Bai family's reputation."
"So why don't you, Prime Minister, adopt Yunxi as your adopted daughter? I promise I'll keep this a secret."
Seeing that his attempts to beg for mercy and play the victim were unsuccessful, Du Wenqing gave up pretending.
He definitely couldn't covet Bai Shu, the legitimate daughter, so Su Yunxi must be the adopted daughter.
Otherwise, if he marries a cousin, the Bai family will turn against him!
With Bai Heng's influence in the court, if they really wanted to break up with him, crushing him would be as easy as crushing an ant!
Therefore, he had to be involved with the Bai family. Even if he was an adopted son-in-law, Bai Heng would not ignore him for the sake of face...
Du Wenqing was still daydreaming, but Su Yunxi's eyes lit up beside him.
Why hadn't she thought of this?
If she suddenly became Bai Heng's adopted daughter, wouldn't her status be much higher than that of her cousin?
From now on, she can still visit her parents' home in the capital. Although she is not their biological daughter, outsiders will definitely be wary of her identity.
Su Yunxi secretly sighed, there really is always a silver lining after a dark period!
But she selectively forgot that Du Wenqing used this matter to threaten Bai Heng. This was her reputation.
You have to know how important a woman's reputation is in this era. Once something happens, she can't live in this world.
…
Bai Shu saw all of Du Wenqing and Su Yunxi's reactions.
Seeing this scene, Bai Shu just wanted to say that the thinking circuits of bad people are always different from those of normal people.
Even at this stage, the two of them were still daydreaming. Bai Shu almost thought it was not evening anymore.
"Stop coveting things that don't belong to you, Du Wenqing."
Bai Shu knew exactly what Du Wenqing was planning, but she would not let him get his wish.
Bai Shu was sitting in the upper seat, and her cold words made Du Wenqing tremble all over.
He couldn't help but be stunned. The girl whom he looked down upon a year ago was not only stunningly beautiful now, but also at a level that he could not reach.
"Du Wenqing, don't think that what happened today is a deliberate attempt to manipulate our Bai family. You must bear the consequences of everything you have done."
"Until you are no longer able to bear the consequences, I advise you not to act impulsively!"
Bai Heng took over Bai Shu's words. He felt that Du Wenqing was ridiculous. He actually wanted to use this matter to threaten the Bai family.
Does he think that he, the prime minister, is a vegetarian?
Apart from the royal family and the Jiang family, he has never been afraid of anyone in his life!
He knew very well that Du Wenqing was very ambitious and could not be satisfied with just a little bit of benefit.
If he accepted his invitation now, he was sure that Du Wenqing would use this as a handle to blackmail him for the rest of his life!
Therefore, Bai Heng explicitly rejected Du Wenqing, and since he, the head of the family, had spoken, it represented the opinion of the Bai family, including Old Mrs. Bai.
"Su Yunxi, ask yourself, how has our Bai family treated you?"
"Now that you and Du Wenqing have done something so shameful, are you sure you want to be our Bai family's adopted daughter?"
Jiang Shi saw that Bai Heng had also expressed his opinion, so she still had to speak for Su Yunxi.
Anyway, she has a clear conscience towards this cousin, and she is not afraid even if the matter is brought to the authorities in the future!
Su Yunxi didn't dare to argue due to Bai Heng's pressure, but she still looked to Old Lady Bai for help.
She used her usual tricks, weak, pitiful, and tearful.
"You have the final say on such trivial matters."
Mrs. Bai saw Su Yunxi's pleading eyes, but she ignored them.
Giving many chances was out of her kindness, but since they were not cherished, she would become the bad guy!
"Thank you, mother."
Jiang saw the tired look in Old Lady Bai's eyes and knew that she was tired too.
If they were obedient children from the side branches, they could afford to support a few of them.
But this child, who is ambitious and scheming, is enough to make the Bai family worried. They must take this opportunity to cut off all ties with him.
"I have already prepared all the necessary items for your wedding banquet. Since we promised your father that your marriage would be fully handled by the Xiangfu, we will not break our promise."
"However, after this marriage, no matter whether you are rich and powerful or poor and destitute, you will no longer have anything to do with my mansion."
"Arranging your wedding and adding dowry to your wedding are the last things our Bai family will do for you."
Jiang slowly told her plan.
It was true that she had prepared it early, but the standards for the cousin's wedding banquet were definitely different from those for the legitimate daughter.
Since Su Yunxi's father didn't contribute to the dowry, she wouldn't be the one to take advantage of it.
Just put in some finishing touches and do a good job on the surface, and outsiders will have nothing to say.
Jiang said both good and bad things, and it was hard for Su Yunxi to refuse.
She was in an awkward situation. If she turned back, she would end up in that unloved and broken family. She couldn't turn back!
The only thing she could do now was to rush forward and bet that she had not made a mistake in choosing him. The number one scholar would surely become an official in the future and give her the highest honor.
"Thank you, aunt. Yunxi has never dreamed of becoming the adopted daughter of the Bai family."
"For the past six years, I have relied on the care of my uncle, aunt, grandmother, and my brothers and sisters. Yunxi is already very grateful. Thank you, aunt, for helping Yunxi with her wedding."
As the saying goes, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. Su Yunxi thought for a moment and returned to her former innocent appearance.
Besides the fact that her clothes were disheveled and she was wearing clothes that barely covered her body, and her hair and makeup were already out of order,
She has regained her former delicate and fair temperament.
Everyone was impressed by what they saw.
