Chapter 1307: Kneel
Naturally, the Bai family refused to hand over the marriage certificate.
The reason why they dared to challenge the Xia family was that they were certain that the Xia family would not dare to actually cancel the engagement.
After all, Xia Siya was the one who suffered the most after the engagement was broken off.
Xia Siya's reputation was damaged and it would be difficult for her to find a good husband.
However, they did not expect that Lord Xia and Tang Bao would directly ask for the marriage certificate.
Especially Tang Bao, who actually said that Bai Shuzhi's character was worthless.
The eldest master of the Bai family regretted that he had not kept his composure and said everything he was thinking.
Madam Bai was different. She was not very satisfied with the Xia family's marriage.
In her opinion, neither the Xia family nor Xia Siya herself was worthy of her son!
So, when he saw that his son was not only beaten but also humiliated in such a way, he immediately cried out.
"Alright! I'll wait and see what kind of good man a daughter of the Xia family who broke off her engagement can marry!" Madam Bai shouted angrily, "I'll go get the marriage certificate right away. This marriage..."
"shut up!"
A loud shout was heard, and the old lady of the Bai family walked in quickly, supported by someone.
After the old lady came in, she first glared at her eldest daughter-in-law sternly, and then looked at everyone from the Xia and Su families.
His gaze lingered on Tang Bao for a second longer.
Then, a kind expression appeared on his face, and he said, "This happened because the Bai family didn't teach their children well. I'm sorry to have embarrassed my in-laws."
After saying that, he looked at Bai Shuzhi again and said sternly, "Zhi'er, kneel down! Apologize to your father-in-law and mother-in-law!"
"Mother?" The eldest lady of the Bai family screamed in disbelief.
"Shut up! As the mistress of the house, you can't tell right from wrong. From now on, let the second son's wife help you manage the household!" The old lady said without allowing any objection.
Madam Bai: “…”
So stupid!
The mother-in-law wants to share her power with the second wife!
Mrs. Bai was happy.
"Mom, I understand. I will definitely help my sister-in-law and take good care of our Bai family in the future!" Mrs. Bai said happily.
After saying that, she looked at the eldest lady again and continued with a boastful tone, "Sister-in-law, you also know that I, your sister-in-law, am now a first-rank imperial lady. In the future, representing the Bai family at banquets in various mansions will also bring honor to our Bai family, right?"
The eldest lady of the Bai family: "..."
I was so angry that I almost spit out blood.
Didn't she know that the Second Madam was deliberately showing off?
The eldest lady felt aggrieved and her face turned blue and purple.
Fortunately, the old lady glanced at the second lady, and the second lady immediately fell silent.
The second wife has always been a little afraid of her mother-in-law.
Bai Shuzhi was straightforward. He endured the pain in his body, walked in front of Lord and Madam Xia, lifted his robe and knelt down.
"I lost control of myself for a moment and committed a crime after drinking. I hope my father-in-law and mother-in-law will punish me." Bai Shuzhi said sincerely.
Bai Shuzhi's good attitude of admitting his mistakes actually reduced the anger in Lord and Madam Xia's hearts.
"As a man, reading the books of sages, you should know the principles of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame." Lord Xia said angrily, "You are engaged, yet you are entangled with other women and have done things that are beyond the norm. This is immoral!"
"Father-in-law is right!" Bai Shuzhi said quickly, "From now on, I will follow your father-in-law's teachings and stay away from other women. I won't even glance at them!"
The anger in Lord Xia's heart dissipated a little.
"Men's mouths are full of lies." Tang Bao curled her lips and said.
Everyone: “…”
Bai Shuzhi's face was filled with embarrassment.
"Sister Su, I swear that I will respect Sister Siya from now on and will never do anything to damage Sister Siya's reputation!" Bai Shuzhi said solemnly.
Tang Bao glanced at Bai Shu and said leisurely, "There are only zero times and countless times when you cheat."
Bai Shuzhi: “…”
Old Mrs. Su frowned and glared at her little girl.
Is it okay for a little girl to say such words casually?
Old Mrs. Su was also a little troubled by her little girl's occasional outspokenness.
On the contrary, the second wife of the Bai family agreed very much with Tang Bao's words.
"The young princess is truly the most insightful." Madam Bai II glanced at her husband and said, "This man's words are the most untrustworthy! All crows are black. Not to mention that he can't control himself after drinking a little cat urine, I'm afraid he can't even move his feet when he sees a beautiful woman..."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!" the old lady said angrily.
I kind of regretted that I had just promoted my second daughter-in-law in order to suppress my eldest daughter-in-law.
When Mrs. Bai Er saw her mother-in-law's stern look, she subconsciously shrank her neck.
However, I was not convinced in my heart.
She knows best what kind of man is.
Just like her man, he carries every one he sees home.
When the second wife thought of the women in her backyard, she felt a surge of anger in her heart.
Humph! If those little demons dare to act like demons again, I'll see how she'll deal with them!
She is now a first-rank lady personally appointed by the emperor!
Mrs. Bai Er felt proud again when she thought of this.
"Miss Su, you're joking. You're still young. I'm afraid you heard some vulgar words from women in the countryside and believed them to be true." The old lady said with a loving face, "Just don't say such things again in the future. You're just a little girl, and you'll be laughed at if you say such things."
There seemed to be a sense of intimacy in the old lady's attitude, as if she were an elder, teaching her granddaughter earnestly.
Old Mrs. Su's face looked a little unhappy.
Although the old lady of the Bai family seemed to be concerned about Tang Bao, the meaning of her words made people feel very uncomfortable.
However, Old Lady Su also knew that what the old lady of the Bai family said made sense.
My little girl really shouldn't say such words to judge a man's character in front of so many people.
"Thank you for your kindness, old lady." Old Madam Su said with a slightly gloomy face, "It's just that children speak without restraint. Tang Bao is still young, but she felt sorry for Siya and despised what the third young master of the Bai family did, so she spoke out of turn."
As soon as Mrs. Su finished speaking, Madam Xia also said, "Fuya and Siya have always been as close as sisters. Now that her sister has been slapped in the face, she naturally wants to vent her anger on her sister's behalf. If your Bai family hadn't gone too far, Fuya wouldn't have said such words in such anger."
"That's right! My aunt has always been the most polite, and her words and actions are impeccable!" Sister Su supported her sister-in-law and immediately followed up on Madam Xia's words, saying, "Today at Prince Ning's residence, even the Empress and Princess Ning repeatedly praised my aunt!"
"That's not the case! My aunt hates evil and won't tolerate any injustice. Naturally, she won't tolerate anyone bullying Siya." Second Sister-in-law Su said proudly.
She learned the phrase "hate evil as much as she hates it" from Wuwa today.
Fourth Sister Su looked at the old lady of the Bai family and said with a cold face: "Our little sister-in-law is a good girl who is unparalleled in the world. She speaks openly and honestly, without beating around the bush or making insinuations!"
The old lady of the Bai family: "..."
