Chapter 1224: Intercepting People
Bai Shuzhi's expression changed as he thought of the Su family's group of aggressive nephews.
Although he did not take Da Pan and others seriously, he felt a little uneasy when he thought about the current status of the Su family and Tang Bao, the little princess loved by the Empress Dowager.
"When did I ever say that? Stop talking nonsense!" Bai Shuzhi said to himself.
The old lady and the eldest lady frowned at the same time when they heard Bai Shuqing say that Bai Shuzhi would not take a concubine.
In their opinion, as a descendant of the Bai family, how could Bai Shuzhi not take a concubine?
It is a common practice for wealthy families for the mother-in-law to insert someone into her son's room in order to control her daughter-in-law.
The Bai family is naturally no exception.
The old lady glared at Bai Shuqing and said sternly, "You're a girl, what are you doing here? Are you capable of listening to these things? Go back to your own courtyard!"
She had just heard what her second daughter-in-law said and hurried over, but she didn't notice her granddaughter.
"Grandma, Third Brother has gone too far! Isn't this a slap in Xia Siya's face? I know Xia Siya's temper. She never tolerates any injustice. If she knew about this, she would definitely make a scene." Bai Shuqing said anxiously, "Su Tang has always treated Xia Siya like her own sister. If she knew that Xia Siya had been wronged like this, she would definitely not agree..."
The old lady slammed the table.
"Shut up! This isn't something a girl like you can get involved in!" the old lady said angrily. "Go back immediately!"
Bai Shuqing: “…”
Bit her lip.
“…Yes, Grandma.”
Although Bai Shuqing was reluctant, she still agreed with a pout.
However, he did not go out immediately, but looked at Bai Shuzhi.
"Third brother, you are no longer the beautiful and elegant Third Brother in my heart. You were actually deceived by Zou Shuqin's little tricks. It's so disappointing!"
After Bai Shuqing finished speaking, she walked out of the room angrily.
However, after going out, he hid outside the door and did not leave.
In the room, Bai Shuzhi looked embarrassed after hearing what Bai Shuqing said.
Although he and Bai Shuqing are only cousins, they have always had a good relationship.
Hearing Bai Shuqing say this, I naturally felt a little uncomfortable.
The old lady glanced at Bai Shuyi and said, "You are not allowed to see that woman again before you get married."
Bai Shuzhi opened his mouth, but under the old lady's stern gaze, he could only say, "Yes, grandmother."
The old lady looked at the eldest lady again and said, "This matter must be kept secret. No word can leak out. If anyone in the mansion dares to spread rumors, they will be beaten to death! As for the rest, we can discuss it after the girl from the Xia family gets married!"
"Yes, mother." The eldest lady agreed repeatedly.
In short, if this matter gets out, their Bai family will be criticized.
Not only that, her son's reputation would also be damaged.
The old lady thought for a moment and then said, "Send someone to follow that woman. If she doesn't behave herself, keep her under guard. Don't disturb Zhier's wedding."
When the eldest lady heard this, she immediately said, "Don't worry, mother. I have sent someone to follow you."
Bai Shuzhi was shocked and said, "Mom, when did you..."
The eldest lady glanced at Bai Shuyi angrily and said, "Do you think mother will tell you?"
It's obvious that the woman is not one to stay content.
Since she dared to come to the Bai family at this time, the only thing she relied on was the child in her belly.
My son is getting married soon, and in order to avoid any accidents, I have to use her status as a concubine to keep her stable.
But, we can't help but be on guard against her!
As soon as the eldest lady finished speaking, a greeting was heard outside the door.
"This servant greets the Fifth Young Lady."
"Um, I was about to leave when I twisted my ankle." Bai Shuqing's voice also came in, "Okay, do you have something to report to Auntie? Come in quickly."
The first lady glanced at the second lady.
The second lady's expression changed.
This damn girl was eavesdropping outside the door and was caught by someone.
Soon, the confidante of the eldest lady came in hurriedly. Seeing the old lady and the second lady, she was stunned for a moment and quickly knelt down to greet them.
Then he glanced at the eldest lady and seemed to be about to speak, but stopped himself.
The eldest lady immediately asked, "Did that woman return to Sanhua Hutong, or to the Zou family?"
The nanny shook her head and said nervously, "To answer the Madam's question, the second son came back to report that the woman went to the silver shop, bought a hairpin, and then got on a carriage and headed...towards the Xia family."
When Mammy finished speaking, she was horrified.
Because of this, the second son took the opportunity when there was trouble on the road and the road was blocked to quickly come back to report.
The second son is the nanny's biological son. He has always been smart. He heard some rumors from his mother, and combined with the rumors in the mansion, he naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.
The matter involves the third young master and the Xia family. If something goes wrong, it will be a big deal.
The eldest lady's face changed.
The old lady's expression also changed.
"What does she want to do?" The eldest lady said in shock and anger, "Could it be that she wants to go to the Xia family and make things clear?"
When Bai Shuzhi heard this, his expression changed.
Although he thought it was natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines, he also knew that what he was doing was not right.
Otherwise, Zou Shuqin would not have been given a formal status for such a long time.
Of course, he didn't expect that Zou Shuqin would dare to come to him with a bulging belly.
As he spoke, he actually felt a sense of relief when he heard that Zou Shuqin came to him.
In his opinion, as long as his parents agreed, he could bring Zou Shuqin into the family.
From now on, he no longer has to face Zou Shuqin and feel guilty for not being able to give her a legitimate status.
However, after hearing what the eldest lady said, he couldn't help but panic.
Although he wanted to bring Zou Shuqin into the family, he didn't want any changes to happen to his marriage with the Xia family because of Zou Shuqin.
Zou Shuqin was gentle and considerate to him, full of admiration, which greatly satisfied her vanity.
Xia Siya has a straightforward and hot-tempered personality, like a hot pepper, which satisfies his desire to conquer.
He didn't want to give up on either of these two women.
The Second Madam looked at the Old Madam, then at the First Madam, and tentatively said, "Since you went there to buy a hairpin, maybe you wanted to add some makeup to the Xia family's maid. After all, they are cousins, right?"
The old lady gave the second lady a look that looked like she was stupid.
"A girl who's not yet engaged, pregnant, can't even hide from others, yet she dares to brazenly go to the jewelry store and even go to buy makeup for her cousin. How could that be possible?" The old lady said angrily, "Go! Bring her back, detain her temporarily in the manor, and send her quietly to the farm in a few days!"
This woman is probably a very careless person.
We must not let her mess up our grandson's marriage!
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the eldest lady immediately went out in a hurry and ordered her capable confidant to intercept the person.
Then he summoned the servants in the mansion, killed a chicken to scare the monkey, and severely punished a few people who liked to spread gossip.
Moreover, a gag order has been issued. Anyone who dares to speak nonsense again will be beaten to death!
For a moment, the Bai Mansion, which was originally full of joy due to the happy event, became full of panic.
All the servants were silent as a mouse, not daring to breathe, for fear that they would lose their lives if they were not careful.
