Chapter 757: Knock
The old lady of the Bai family wanted to grab this troublesome granddaughter and give her a good beating.
But I also know that the most important thing now is to appease the Queen Mother and Tang Bao.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It's all your fault for not teaching me well!" The old lady of the Bai family knelt down and apologized. "From now on, I will strictly discipline Qing'er, and make her be careful with her words and actions, and stop talking nonsense!"
After saying that, he looked at Bai Shuqing and said sternly, "Why don't you admit your mistake to the Empress Dowager?"
Bai Shuqing felt so wronged.
How could she know that the string of wooden beads originally belonged to the Empress Dowager?
Since the Empress Dowager treats Su as her granddaughter, why doesn't she reward her with some good things?
Why did you reward me with a string of wooden beads?
They are clearly wooden beads, yet you don’t allow people to say anything!
"Grandma, it's all Qing'er's fault!" Bai Shuqing said tearfully, "Qing'er is shortsighted and didn't recognize such a good thing. Please forgive me."
"Short-sighted? Can't recognize good things?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "I think you've seen too many good things, so you don't like a string of Buddhist beads, right?"
What the Empress Dowager said is very serious.
An unmarried girl from the Bai Mansion was actually said by the Empress Dowager to have seen too many good things.
What this means is self-evident.
Although the Bai family has been acting quite ostentatiously in recent years thanks to the relationship with the Empress Dowager, they are still the emperor's in-laws, and the emperor has to give them some face, let alone other people.
Now, the words spoken by the Empress Dowager were like a blow to the Bai family's head!
The old lady of the Bai family felt a pang in her heart.
What does the Empress Dowager mean by this?
The Bai family is the Empress Dowager’s family!
Could it be that he is no match for a little girl from another family?
The old lady of the Bai family looked at Tang Bao.
Tang Bao didn't expect that the Queen Mother would say such a thing.
She originally thought that Bai Shuqing was the great-niece of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager would never do that, so she would just punish Bai Shuqing.
At most, it's just verbal threats.
Could it be...that there is something I don't know?
Tang Bao blinked her eyes.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The old lady of the Bai family said with deep fear and trepidation, "Qing'er is young, willful and unruly, and her words are rude. It is all because of your distant and disciplined attitude. I am willing to accept the punishment."
She is the Empress Dowager's sister-in-law, and the Empress Dowager cannot punish her.
"But the Bai family has been law-abiding and loyal to the court over the years. I hope Your Majesty will understand." The old lady of the Bai family continued.
As soon as the old lady of the Bai family finished speaking, the second lady of the Bai family became unhappy.
Why did my daughter become so willful and unruly?
If such a reputation gets out, how can I talk about getting married in the future?
No matter what, the Queen Mother is still the aunt of the Bai family, right?
What else can we do to the Bai family?
"Mother, Qing'er has always been well-educated and gentle. She just didn't know that the Buddhist beads belonged to the Empress Dowager. Besides, when a few girls talk together, why would they be so polite?" Madam Bai knelt on the ground and said, "It's the little girl from the Su family who is sharp-tongued and is definitely bullying Qing'er on purpose."
When the old lady heard what her second daughter-in-law said, the veins on her forehead bulged.
Of course, if someone says that Tang Bao is sharp-tongued, she totally agrees.
However, it is now obvious that the Queen Mother wants to protect Tang Bao.
Isn't what the Second Madam said a challenge to the Empress Dowager?
Sure enough, as soon as the Second Lady finished speaking, the Queen Mother immediately started protecting her child.
"My granddaughter is well-behaved and sensible, and she's still young. Could she possibly bully the Bai family's legitimate daughter in the Bai family? What a joke!"
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and added, "Someone must be deliberately bullying her, mocking her for coming from the countryside and never having seen good things, so she wears broken wooden beads!"
"Wow! Grandma, you're so amazing!" Tang Bao said with admiration, "You guessed it right!"
Tang Bao’s words put the final nail in the coffin!
At the same time, a bucket of oil was poured on the raging fire.
The Empress Dowager: “…”
He looked at Bai Shuqing with anger!
Bai Shuqing: “…”
I was so scared that my mind went blank.
Then, he blurted out what was in his heart.
"Grandaunt, I am your great-niece. She is just a stranger. How can you help her but not me?!"
"A foreigner?" The Empress Dowager said, "It was this foreigner, so young, who bravely risked his life and saved my life!"
The case is solved!
No wonder the Queen Mother values the little girl from the Su family so much. It turns out that it was because of her life-saving grace.
Everyone in the flower hall showed a look of surprise.
At the same time, the look in his eyes when he looked at Tang Bao also changed.
——became eager.
You saved the Empress Dowager's life, but you can't enjoy a life of glory?
It's an easy win!
Little did people know that Tang Bao not only saved the life of the Empress Dowager, but also saved the life of the Emperor!
There were several ladies in the flower hall, and they were moved.
If I marry this little girl, wouldn't I be marrying the Empress Dowager?
You know, the Empress Dowager ignored all her relatives and even threatened her own family for this little girl!
When the ladies thought about this, they became more and more impatient and wanted to propose marriage immediately.
Mrs. Xia suddenly felt a chill all around her, as if someone was watching her.
Mrs. Xia turned her head to the left and a lady smiled warmly at her.
Mrs. Xia turned her head to the right and a lady smiled warmly at her.
Madam Xia: “…”
He endured the cold wind on the back of his neck and didn't look back.
After being shocked, the old lady of the Bai family rolled her eyes and looked at Tang Bao with gratitude.
"We in the Bai family will never forget Miss Su's great kindness! From now on, if anything happens to Miss Su, we in the Bai family will handle it as our own business!" said the old lady solemnly.
The old lady's words not only pointed out that the Queen Mother was the aunt of the Bai family, so the Bai family remembered Tang Bao's favor.
At the same time, it is also a promise to Tang Bao.
However, this promise is of no use.
After all, Tang Bao has the protection of the Empress Dowager.
However, what the old lady of the Bai family said had a different meaning to the ears of the ladies who came to visit.
After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at Bai Shuqing and said sternly, "Hurry up and apologize to Miss Su!"
Bai Shuqing's face flushed red.
If she were asked to apologize to the Empress Dowager, that would be enough.
After all, the identity of the Empress Dowager is there.
But asking her to admit her mistake to Tang Bao would be like a slap in her face, wouldn't it?
"Grandma..." Bai Shuqing's eyes were red.
As the eldest daughter of the Bai family, she has been used to being superior over the years.
Now she has to apologize to a little country girl in front of so many people. How can she bring herself to do that?
Although, she has no face anymore!
"Apologize!" the old lady said without allowing any objection.
Bai Shuqing: “…”
No matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to look at Tang Bao.
"……sorry."
Tang Bao: "...too perfunctory."
Bai Shuqing: “…”
Use your eyes to tell Tang Bao: Don’t push your luck!
Tang Bao raised her chin.
Use actions to tell Bai Shuqing: I have the Empress Dowager as my backer!
Bai Shuqing: “…”
As soon as he closed his eyes, his face flushed, he shouted, "I'm sorry, I was wrong! I shouldn't have laughed at you for being ignorant, nor should I have laughed at you for being a peasant from the countryside!"
As soon as Bai Shuqing finished speaking, the eldest master of the Bai family walked in cautiously, accompanied by a handsome and elegant young man who looked like a banished immortal.
