Chapter 1336: It’s time to settle the accounts
After Mrs. Zou finished speaking, she looked at Bai Shuzhi again.
The tone changed, and he said earnestly: "Son-in-law, you don't know, a pregnant woman is most afraid of getting angry, and getting angry can easily cause miscarriage..."
Mrs. Zou directly addressed Bai Shuzhi as her son-in-law.
Because Bai Shuzhi was worried about Zou Shuqin, he didn't notice that the two pretty maids showed disgust in their eyes.
It is simply a fantasy for a woman who lost her virginity before marriage and has a ruined reputation to want to become the third young master's wife!
The two maids thought so in their hearts, but did not dare to show it.
After all, Zou Shuqin was pregnant with the Bai family's child.
Of course, whether the child can be saved is another matter.
After hearing what Mrs. Zou said, Bai Shuzhi frowned and looked at the pretty maid who was beaten.
"Go back to my mother," Bai Shuzhi ordered, "You don't have to serve in my yard anymore!"
The pretty maid's face changed drastically, and she knelt down with a plop.
"Please forgive me, Third Young Master. I will never dare to do it again!" said the pretty maid crying.
Seeing this, the other maid immediately let go of Bai Shuzhi's arm and retreated three feet away.
——Make a quail shape.
Zou Shuqin was very proud that she had subdued the two pretty maids with just one move.
Humph! Wanting to fight her is simply overestimating your own abilities!
Tang Bao glanced at Zou Shuqin and the two pretty maids, and was extremely glad that Xia Siya jumped out of the kang.
"You've seen it yourself. Do you think my sister will be happy if she marries your third brother?" Tang Bao pointed in the direction of Bai Shuzhi with her chin and said to Bai Shuqing.
Bai Shuqing: “…”
I'm speechless.
She also didn't expect that her aunt would arrange two such troublesome maids for her third brother at this critical juncture.
And his third brother actually accepted it...
"Forget it, Qi Da is not a good match, fortune and misfortune are interdependent." Bai Shuqing said: "Your sister may really have her own destiny. Anyway, you are very lucky. Maybe your sister can rely on you to marry a first-class husband in the future!"
"That's for sure!" Tang Bao raised his chin proudly.
Every man in their Su family is first-rate!
Bai Shuqing couldn't help but feel envious when she saw Tang Bao, who was so sincere in caring about Xia Siya.
Who doesn’t want to have a good sister like this who treats them wholeheartedly?
Unfortunately, she also thought that she had siblings at the time.
Little did he know that others just treated him as a fool and a stepping stone.
Bai Shuqing thought of Bai Shuyu, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
After scheming for so many years, didn't you end up becoming a bargaining chip in your aunt's hands to gain benefits?
"What about you? Have you thought it through?" Tang Bao tugged at Bai Shuqing's sleeve, pulled her aside, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really going to marry King Xiao?"
Bai Shuqing: “…”
It is impossible to say that I am not nervous.
However, having come this far, even if she regretted it, there was no turning back.
"What else can I do?" Bai Shuqing said with a wry smile, "At this point, how can I not get married?"
After all, it involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
I am now a princess who is married to a foreign princess.
"Why not?" Tang Bao said confidently, "Sister Siya is getting married tomorrow, and you can cancel the engagement today! You haven't even accepted the betrothal gift from Prince Xiao, so why can't you cancel the engagement?"
Bai Shuqing said helplessly, "How can this be the same? Xia Siya and my third brother's marriage was arranged by our parents, while Prince Xiao and I were married by imperial decree."
"So what?" Tang Bao said domineeringly: "As long as you want to cancel the engagement, I will find a way!"
Tang Bao said this and patted Bai Shuqing's shoulder proudly.
He added, "I said I would protect you. You are my friend. I will never watch you jump into the fire kang and do nothing!"
Bai Shuqing felt warm in her heart and suddenly relieved.
She also has good sisters and good friends.
"Can't you just hope that I get better?" Bai Shuqing glared at Tang Bao, her eyes slightly red as she said, "You know yourself, your mouth is like a blessing, can't you just say that you wish me and my wife harmony, happiness and health?"
Tang Bao: “…”
I want to say it, but I can't say it because I don't want to.
"That King Xiao is not someone you can control." Tang Bao advised: "A man like that only thinks about profit and has calculations in his eyes."
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Bai Shuqing showed a look of dejection on her face.
How could she not know what Tang Bao said? But her heart was already in the pavilion of Prince Rong's Mansion. The moment she jumped on him, she lost it and could not find it again...
Bai Shuqing bit her lip and said, "I believe that sincerity can move mountains and break rocks. Even if he is just a rock, I can warm him up with time."
Tang Bao: “…”
Looking at Bai Shuqing who was so submissive, I suddenly missed the willful, arrogant and domineering Bai Shuqing when we first met.
"Okay, I wish you all your wishes come true, peace and happiness." Tang Bao said sincerely.
"Thank you." Bai Shuqing reached out, hugged Tang Bao, sniffed, and said, "When I marry and go to Northern Qi, I'm afraid we won't see each other again in this life, but I'm very happy to have a friend like you in this life."
"I'm happy too." Tang Bao patted Bai Shuqing on the back and said soothingly.
After saying this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
He added, "You might not marry far away, right? As long as Prince Xiao doesn't leave Dayan, you don't have to go to Northern Qi..."
Bai Shuqing: “…”
Can King Xiao still not leave Dayan?
"Here are the marriage certificate and engagement letter, take them!"
The eldest lady of the Bai family walked over angrily and signaled a nanny beside her to hand the box in her hand to Xia Siya.
Shi Liu immediately took a few steps forward and took the box.
"Miss Xia, here!"
Shi Liu gave the box to Xia Siya.
Xia Siya opened the box.
Inside the box was a jade pendant, a birth certificate with Xia Siya's birth date and time, and the marriage certificates of the two families.
The eldest lady glanced at the trusted nanny beside her.
The nanny understood what she meant and immediately said in a sharp voice, "Miss Xia, since the marriage between these two families has been cancelled, shouldn't we also return the betrothal gifts that our Bai family sent?"
Xia Siya handed the box to Luoluo and said coldly, "Don't worry, the betrothal gifts will be returned intact. Our Xia family won't touch a single cent of it!"
"That's good." The nanny said with a somewhat arrogant look.
Tang Bao nodded and said, "That's right! Of course the accounts must be settled clearly. It's best to be clear."
When Tang Bao said this, her tone changed and she looked at the eldest lady.
He then said, "Madam, for the self-heating meals, heart-warming patches, and various brain-stimulating and anti-cold medicines that your son Bai Shuzhi took from the Xia family during last year's autumn imperial examination and this year's spring imperial examination, shouldn't we also calculate the price and see how much your Bai family should pay?"
"Oh, by the way, I'm sure Madam has heard about the prices of my medicines."
"After all, the old man of the Su family bought me a pill for a hundred thousand taels of silver."
Tangbao is giving you a very kind reminder.
The eldest lady of the Bai family: "..."
His expression suddenly froze.
