By the time Gu Xin finished speaking, the dishes were almost all served.
Before picking up his chopsticks, Bai Yi sighed, "Bai Laosan is the biggest beneficiary, but unfortunately, he has lost too much."
Gu Xin nodded: "Isn't that right? He lost his good son and his identity. He will probably have to live under the arrangement of others forever."
Zheng Wei asked, "Xin Xin, will Bai Shijun be executed?"
Gu Xin thought for a moment and said, "Not necessarily, it depends on the Princess's decision. Bai Shijun killed three people, but it seems that he is the best heir to the Bai family. Didn't the Princess tell us not to reveal the murderer's identity to the public? There might be other arrangements! The Princess is decisive, so she must have a way."
Zheng Wei frowned: "But according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, premeditated murder is punishable by death!"
Bai Yi glanced at Zheng Wei with disdain: "You're still a coroner, and you still come from that kind of family. Do you really think all criminals are ultimately dealt with according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty? The Emperor has never even met Bai Shijun. Whether Bai Shijun dies suddenly on the way to the capital or is injured by bandits, as long as he dies, the Bai family will have another grandson. As for where this grandson will be from, we can go back and have Sixth Young Master make up a story. Sixth Young Master is quite capable."
Zheng Wei glanced at the man in white with surprise, not quite understanding what he meant.
Gu Xin explained in a low voice, "I guess the princess will have someone take the blame, and she plans to get through to the emperor. She seems very confident, but I don't know how she plans to do it. I also feel that Bai Shijun won't die, and he will definitely be the one to inherit the prince's title in the end."
Dongxue couldn't help but ask, "Why? Didn't Bai Shijun kill the Prince, the eldest son of the Bai family, and the second son of the Bai family? One of them was the Princess Consort's husband, the other was her son, and the other was her grandson. Why would the Princess Consort still let him inherit the title? Although, Bai Shijun was originally the Princess Consort's grandson."
Gu Xin was taken aback by Dong Xue's question, and then said, "Bai Er, it's been a long time since I've tested you. Why don't you tell me?"
Bai Er was pondering what to put in the first dish when Gu Xin suddenly called on him, and he looked at Gu Xin blankly.
The man in white rubbed his forehead and nudged Bai Er with his elbow: "I'm asking you a question! All you do all day is eat, eat?"
He could tell that the Third Miss was intentionally letting Dongxue talk to Bai Er, giving Bai Er a chance to show off.
Bai Yi was very pleased that Gu Xin really kept her word; she had only said it last night, and now she was already making preparations.
Bai Er: "Oh. Miss Dongxue, in my opinion, the Princess Consort definitely hates Bai Shijun, after all, he killed her husband, her son, and her grandson. However, the Princess Consort is also helpless! The title of Prince of Donglin is hereditary. As long as their family doesn't rebel, and as long as the Great Zhou Dynasty exists, the title of Prince of Donglin can be passed down from generation to generation. Judging from the current male members of the Bai family, Bai Laosan and Bai Laosi are useless, and Bai Shilin from the second branch and Bai Shiqi from the fourth branch are even less capable. As for Bai Shijun, since he was ten years old, he has investigated things that no one in the entire mansion knew clearly. Not only that, but he was not discovered when he did these things. Moreover, Bai Shijun is both scholarly and martial, and is the most successful one in the four generations of the Bai family."
