Chapter 224 Mrs. Bai collapses
The city was in a state of panic at this time.
When Mrs. Bai learned that the Cui family was raided, she was terrified. She grabbed Li Ma's hand tightly and gasped for breath. "Tell me again, how was the Cui family raided?"
Nanny Li was frightened by Madam Bai's ferocious face. She replied with a pale face and trembling, "It's because several impostors of the Cui family were discovered! I heard that the direct descendants did this, and the side branches followed suit, but the other members of the family didn't have this ability. One of them was forced by his family to be a substitute because he looked a bit like the direct descendant.
The man was so angry that he confessed his crime in the county government office, and the entire Cui family was dragged into it! Madam, we..."
"We what? We will be fine!" Mrs. Bai shouted.
Suddenly, Zhu came crawling in, "Mother, it's bad! Father and his men have taken my husband away!"
Mrs. Bai fell off the stool in an instant and rushed out of the yard in panic, "Master!"
When she arrived at the gate of the mansion, Mr. Bai was about to force Bai Feng into the carriage.
Bai Feng struggled desperately and refused to go up, "Dad, I won't go! Mom, save me!"
"Master, I only have Feng'er as my son. He cannot go to die, absolutely not! Master! I beg you!" Mrs. Bai tried to stop him and cried until her voice became hoarse.
Mr. Bai was also in great pain, but his eyes were firm, "Don't you understand the end of the Cui family? It was you who couldn't tolerate those illegitimate sons in the beginning. You were afraid that they would take advantage of the mansion, so you sent them away early, and you didn't give them much money. If they counted it, they would hate you.
Now they are going to the battlefield, but your son wants to hide away. Do you think they will agree to this?"
Madam Bai shook her head in shock and begged bitterly, "Master, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I can compensate them, aren't they going to the battlefield? I can give their wives and children money, lots of money, as long as we can save Feng'er, Master, I beg you to think of a way, I beg you!"
She has been married to the Bai family for so many years, but she has never been so humble.
Mr. Bai was torn between his conscience and his desires.
The county magistrate suddenly came over with his men. "Master Bai, it seems that you are smart. Unlike the Cui family, who are ignorant of the current situation and have caused me so much trouble for no reason! Come, take them away."
"Dad! I won't go. I won't go, Mom and Dad." Bai Feng was so scared that he almost paralyzed.
Mrs. Bai broke down and cried. She stretched out her hands to grab her son, but she could only watch him being taken away.
Although Mr. Bai was heartbroken, he was more grateful. If he was a step later, the county magistrate would definitely suspect that the Bai family was in collusion with the Cui family, and the Bai family would not have been spared.
After Bai Feng was dragged to the county government office and stood with other serving citizens, he still refused to give up and wanted to run away.
Zhu Yixuan held him back and warned him seriously, "Don't move if you don't want to die! Do you see the blood on the ground? It's from the Cui family!"
Bai Feng was shaking all over and his brain was no longer functioning.
Zhu Yixuan felt sorry for him and sighed helplessly, "We can still take care of each other on the road, but you have to know that once you leave Zhaohua County, you will no longer be the young master of a wealthy family. You will have to do everything yourself."
Bai Feng panicked even more, his eyes rolled around, and suddenly he pointed at Su Chunsen excitedly, "He, he is your servant, he can serve us!"
Everyone looked at Su Chunsen.
Su Chunsen looked a little ugly.
Su Chunlin stood up carelessly, staring at Bai Feng with unfriendly eyes, "Master Bai, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say anything you want! Master Zhu is kind and has long since helped my eldest brother and his family escape slavery and return to being good citizens. Who am I to be your slave and serve you? Pah! Shame on you!"
Bai Feng was scolded and was very angry. He looked at Zhu Yixuan in disbelief, "Brother, you are confused! How can you let people like that become slaves? You are really blinded by lust!"
"Bai Feng!" Zhu Yixuan's expression changed and he glared at Bai Feng warningly.
Even though Bai Feng was not convinced, he knew that he could only rely on Zhu Yixuan from now on, so he closed his mouth reluctantly.
Su Chunsen felt inexplicably relieved when he saw Bai Feng being humiliated, and he straightened his back. Everyone else had a gloomy face, but he was full of energy and spirit. The officers and soldiers felt relieved when they saw him, and their tone of voice when speaking to him became much better.
The large group of people spent most of the day checking their bodies and made sure that there were no problems. It was already dark when the day came and they could only follow the soldiers to the resting place and set off before dawn the next day.
At this time, Cui from the Zhu Mansion was kneeling in front of her parents-in-law and begging them for help.
Mr. Zhu couldn't even protect himself, so what else could he do? He could only go out more often and leave Madam Zhu alone to deal with Cui.
Cui was already worried about her son's health every day. Now she was hit hard by the Cui family's affairs. She completely collapsed and kept crying in Madam Zhu's yard.
This made Mrs. Zhu very upset.
At this time, Cui learned about what Bai Feng said to Zhu Yixuan outside the county government office, and she became suspicious. She ran to Bai's house to question Zhu regardless of the consequences.
"Tell me! Does your eldest brother have a shameful woman outside? You and your wife both know about it, right?" Cui had disheveled hair and a ferocious face.
Zhu was really frightened, "Sister-in-law! Are you crazy? Let me go!"
Cui tightened her grip on Zhu's collar, "Stop talking nonsense! Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Rulan, Rulan! Quickly pull this lunatic away!" Zhu shouted breathlessly.
Seeing that she was so stubborn, Cui's anger instantly burned out her remaining rationality, and she began to smash things in Zhu's house frantically.
Zhu's antique vase as a dowry was broken, her famous paintings were destroyed, and even her most precious dressing table was overturned.
Zhu was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Cui Ruyi! You bitch! I will kill you!"
She rushed forward and wrestled with Cui, shouting and cursing as she fought, "You just gave birth to a sickly son, what's the big deal! Although I can't give birth, I'm generous. At least my husband has a concubine's son. Even if he dies outside, this family is still mine! I will still be the head lady of the Bai family!
You are nothing! Without Kang Cheng, the direct line will be extinct! Hahaha, I want to see how long you can be so proud in front of me! "
"If you dare to curse my son, I will kill you!" Cui grabbed Zhu's hair fiercely.
Zhu cried out in pain but continued to taunt, "What's this curse? My eldest brother is smart. He kept a beautiful woman outside long ago. Oh, by the way! You didn't know! That woman even gave birth to a child for my eldest brother! Hahahaha."
Cui's tears burst out, and the strength she had on Zhu suddenly faded.
When Bilian brought people in, she saw that the room was in a mess, and Cui and Zhu had already been completely disfigured.
Seeing that Zhu was more seriously injured, she smiled with a look of relief.
My master seemed to be fine, but he looked like he had lost his soul.
Bilian was terrified. "Master, master, please don't scare me. I will take you back to see the doctor right away!"
