Chapter 248 The Queen Mother Passes Away
If the relatives of the deceased are unwilling to take the body back, they can pay the yamen runners to do it. The yamen runners can make a lot of money from it, so they will naturally not refuse.
Baili Ting gave a lot of silver, and the yamen runner took it with a smile on his face: "Master Baili, don't worry, leave this matter to me."
Baili Ting looked at the three people covered with white cloth and sighed. The Yao family was also a wealthy merchant family. If it weren't for their greed, they might not have ended up like this.
On the way back, Baili Yu still hadn't recovered, so Baili Ting asked, "Do you still want to stay in Beijing?"
Baili Ting wanted to take the old lady to Yingyang, but Baili Yu was naturally unwilling to leave the capital and insisted on staying.
But after seeing Yao Mingzhu's tragic death, Baili Yu hesitated.
"If you really want to stay, I won't force you to leave." Baili Ting continued, "But you can't live in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion anymore. You have to find a house to move out. I can leave you some money to live on."
"How much will my father leave for me?"
Hearing Baili Yu's question, Baili Ting guessed what he was thinking: "Yao Minyu is your mother after all, and everything in her private vault is left to you."
Hearing Baili Ting's answer, Baili Yu instantly perked up, he knew exactly how many things were in his mother's private vault. If he could get them, he wouldn't have to worry about the rest of his life. Besides, if he stayed in the capital in the future, no one would be able to control him.
Thinking of this, Baili Yu replied: "Father, I thought about it and still think it's better to stay in Beijing. For so many years, I have been doing nothing. Now that so many things have happened at home, I should do something for our first wife."
Baili Ting stopped and looked at Baili Yu: "What do you want to do for your room?"
"Father, I just want to rent a quiet courtyard in the capital, study there, and pass the exam in the future, which will bring honor to our family."
Baili Ting seemed to have heard a big joke: "You still have this idea?"
Baili Ting dared not even to think about this thought, because he knew too well what kind of person his son was.
"Dad, Qiu Hong can serve as an official in the court, so why can't I? Besides, he has resigned now, so our wife has to rely on me, right?" Baili Yu looked proud, and Baili Ting was too lazy to say anything more to him: "You are old enough now, you can make your own decisions if you want to. But I have given you everything I deserve, so don't ask me for more in the future."
After saying that, Baili Ting went back to his house to pack up his things. Baili Yu watched him leave so resolutely and swore in his heart that he would definitely have a day to excel.
Now the matter between Song Qingxuan and Rong Ruo has come to an end. Rong Ruo is imprisoned and the entire Song family is convicted. Baili Yuan has no reason to stay any longer and sets out to the northwest.
On that day, Baili Ting took the old lady back to Yingyang.
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing sent them out of the city. Baili Yuan looked at the three people standing in front of him. He had never realized that he was a person who was always worried.
"Brother, your return to Yingyang this time is just a small matter. Live your life peacefully and don't cause any more trouble. As long as I am your big brother, I will never let you be helpless."
Baili Yuan patted Baili Ting on the shoulder, then looked at Baili Yanqing: "Yanqing, I know that you and the princess are both people with ideas. Just do whatever you want to do. Don't be afraid. If you are wronged, send a message to the northwest. I will see who dares to bully my son and princess."
"Father, when we go to the northwest, we must pay close attention to the movements of the Northern Rong." Baili Yanqing reminded, "There is a tendency for Xixia to join forces with the Northern Rong now, so we must not take it lightly."
"Don't worry."
