This eldest son came to ruin his own show as soon as he appeared, and now he doesn't even give him any face at all. What a devil!
"If Yanqing is fine, why did you come back?" the old lady asked unexpectedly.
Baili Yuan looked at the old lady and replied indifferently: "Old lady, when Yan Qing and the princess got married, his son didn't come back. Although Yan Qing is fine this time, as a father, I can't just ignore everything, right? But old lady, you are also clear about the father's affairs, why didn't you testify for Yan Qing?"
Facing Baili Yuan's questioning, the old lady also became a little angry: "Bai Li Yuan, are you questioning your mother like this?"
"Madam, my son has always been outspoken. He will just say whatever he wants to say."
The old lady was angry again: "If I speak up for Yan Qing, people will think that our entire Baili Mansion is bullying Meng Sang."
"Madam, you are always worried about what others will say, but have you ever thought about Yan Qing?" Baili Yuan frowned, "It was the same when my father was about to go back to Ning County to worship his ancestors. You said that as a dignified Duke of Zhenguo, how could he go to such a small place to worship his ancestors? You are afraid that people outside will gossip about him. Aren't you just afraid that others will know that my father came from a poor family? You have never thought about my father!"
"Why didn't I think about him? Those officials in the past all laughed at your father for being a rough man. If he went back to a small place like Ning County to worship his ancestors, wouldn't he be laughed at again?"
The old lady felt that she was considering the old Duke of Zhenguo, so why didn't everyone understand her.
"But that's my father's home. He has never been back since he left. Returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors has become his obsession. Why do you want to let my father have such a big regret because of other people's prejudice?"
"Didn't I just say that I will return to Ning County to worship my ancestors in a few days?"
"When your parents were alive, you refused to go back. Now that your parents have lived for so many years, you remember. Is this for your parents' last wish, or for your own goal?"
The old lady slammed the table angrily: "Bai Li Yuan, you..."
Baili Yuan hit the nail on the head of the old lady's mind. The old lady was furious, but she didn't know what to say: "Do you think I've lived too long and want to piss me off to death?"
"As long as the old lady doesn't mind these things that shouldn't be her business, she will live a long life!"
Su Chenyu was really confused. Why did the old lady not like the first wife and prefer the second wife?
Judging from the way Baili Yuan addressed the old lady, it was estimated that the relationship between the two was not deep, and Baili Yuan was obviously closer to the old Duke Zhenguo.
Moreover, Baili Yuan was not the kind of person who pretended to be ignorant. Fortunately, he was often away from home. If he had stayed in the capital, the old lady would probably have been pissed off by him.
A person with a righteous mind will naturally look down on those with evil minds.
The old lady turned her face away, refusing to look at Baili Yuan again.
At this moment, Baili Ting walked in, looked at Baili Yuan, and for a moment he was a little hesitant to recognize him: "Brother, you are back?"
Baili Yuan nodded: "Yes."
Baili Ting was obviously a little afraid of Baili Yuan, and even the range of his movements when he walked was much smaller than before.
Seeing Baili Ting's unpresentable look, Baili Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp: "When I let your second branch live in Baili Mansion, what did you promise me? Do you remember?"
Baili Ting replied timidly: "Take good care of mother and the mansion."
"Did you do it?" Baili Yuan sat down on the chair next to him. Baili Ting stood in front of him, like a child who had made a mistake: "No, I didn't do it."
"The Duke is so majestic. When he came back, he first scolded me as a mother, and now he is scolding your brother. Is this how you act as a son and a brother?"
