He had eavesdropped on conversations in He's room and knew how Bai Lao Er insulted He. He had also gone to the third house to eavesdrop on Jiang's room and knew how good Bai Lao Er was to Jiang.
He hated it; he hated that this scumbag had ruined his parents' lives.
If his parents' lives hadn't been ruined, he would have been content even if he hadn't been born.
"Enough!" Seeing the red marks on Bai Shijun's face, and seeing He Shi and Jiang Shi who were already somewhat mad, Bai Laosan stepped forward and knelt on the ground. "Mother, all of this is because of me. And Second Madam and Third Madam, if you want to blame someone, blame me!"
Third Madam Jiang turned around, walked up to Bai Laosan, and glared at him hatefully: "So, apart from the birth of the two children, it was Bai Jiawang who was by my side all the time?"
Bai Jiawang is the name of Bai Lao Er.
The queen gave birth to four sons, and the king of Donglin was often on the battlefield. Since none of them knew many characters, the names were chosen casually. The name Bai Jia meant prosperity and flourishing, which was also their expectation for the family.
However, just when the Bai family was thriving, this happened.
“Yes! Second Brother has always liked you. But since Father has already spoken with the He family patriarch and the marriage is arranged, Second Brother has no intention of breaking off the engagement, so…” Bai Laosan admitted.
"Heh, haha, hahaha..." The Third Madam sneered, then burst into laughter.
"Mother!" The two daughters of the third wife stepped forward, crying, and supported the third wife on either side.
"I am not your mother!" The third wife ruthlessly pushed the two sisters away.
"Madam!" The Third Madam turned and walked up to the Princess, exuding an unprecedented aura. "Madam, the Bai brothers have fooled us like this. As my mother, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"What explanation do you want?" The princess looked calmly at the third wife. "The second son is dead, and the third son is kneeling there. What explanation do you want? Just say it."
"I want half of the Bai family's wealth, and I want a divorce agreement," the Third Madam said after a moment's hesitation.
"Why should I?" Before the princess could speak, Bai Shijun interjected, "If you can get half, then shouldn't my mother get half too? Ask your aunt and sister-in-law, as well as your fourth uncle and aunt, if they're willing!"
"Impossible!" Zheng Wei, who had been accompanying the Crown Prince's wife, couldn't help but speak up. "The Prince's Mansion hasn't been divided yet. Although my father-in-law has been gone for many years, he used to be the Crown Prince of the Prince's Mansion, and most of the mansion's property should belong to our eldest son's family."
“That’s right. You want a divorce agreement and compensation from the Prince’s Mansion, but you can only take what’s rightfully yours in the third branch of the family,” said Bai Lao Si. “Don’t even think about half of it.”
"Is that so? Taking away things belonging to the third branch of the family? I can't guarantee that the Bai family's twins can keep their identity swap a secret." The third wife sneered.
"How dare you!" the princess coldly rebuked. "Jiang, you know your family's true nature. I can say one word and they won't let you go back! If you want a divorce, I'll write it for the third son. As for the things that belong to the third branch of the family, if you completely disregard your two daughters, then you can take them with you!"
"Hmph, the old lady still holds considerable authority! My two daughters? How laughable! They have their own father, what do I have to worry about? Fine, divide them up, I want to see all the mansions, shops, and cash in the Prince's Mansion." The Third Madam's eyes flickered, and she finally compromised.
