Shen Yu hurriedly got out of the car and saw that the entrance of Yixiang Garden was crowded with people, who were whispering and discussing among themselves.
Cuiwei and several nannies helped Chenyu squeeze through the crowd and saw a fat woman in tattered clothes pointing at three women and cursing them. She turned her head and saw that the three women were Heyuan, Chenmo, and Suma.
The three women had only been away from the capital for half a month, yet they all had sallow complexions, dull eyes, and red marks on their exposed skin, except for their cheeks, suggesting that Bai Yehua had tormented them quite a bit.
At that moment, the fat woman grabbed He Yuan's hair and slapped her across the face, yelling, "You're a jinx to my husbands, I'll beat you to death..."
Shen Yu shouted sternly, "How dare she offend Madam Yuan! Seize her!"
Two old women stepped forward and restrained the fat woman.
The plump woman turned her head, glared at Chen Yu, and scolded, "You are Mu Chen Yu? How dare you offend your elders? I am General Bai's aunt, tell them to release me immediately."
Shen Yu's lips curled into a slight sneer. This Aunt Bai had guarded the border for decades; her return to the capital was likely to get a share of the Bai family's wealth. The Bai family's size and power were no problem. However, the way Aunt Bai slapped He Yuan just now—she looked extremely fierce—she was no kind person!
General Bai was assassinated without leaving a will. His one wife and two concubines are likely pregnant and may inherit the Bai family's title and property in the future. How could they let his aunt take it away?
She took out a handkerchief and covered her mouth, bursting into tears: "The general has just passed away, and a swindler has already come to our door to cheat us. Everyone knows that the general's aunt was a lady from a distinguished family, how could she be someone like you, dressed in rags and with a bloated figure? Quickly, take her to the yamen!"
After saying this, she hurriedly led her wife and two concubines into Yixiang Garden and ordered the guards to close the gate.
"Madam, please open the door. I am Bai Yejing. The woman just now was indeed General Bai's aunt. Please open the door and let me explain."
Bai Yejing? Aunt Bai's son? Why is his surname Bai?
