Chapter 811: It’s really outrageous
Bai family.
As soon as Bai Shuxiang returned to the eldest lady's courtyard, she asked anxiously, "Mother, what exactly is going on? What did Dad do to anger the Empress Dowager? And, that Princess Fude..."
A hint of anger appeared on Bai Shuxiang's face.
"Where on earth did he come from?! How did he catch the attention of the Empress Dowager?!"
Really! She's just a little girl, yet she has so many people backing her up. Even the Bai family doesn't dare to provoke her!
The eldest lady rubbed her temples and said exhaustedly, "Your father falsely conveyed the Empress Dowager's decree."
"What?!" Bai Shuxiang was so scared that she opened her mouth wide and couldn't close it.
Then, his legs went weak and he fell into the chair.
"Why would Dad do such a thing? Why?" Bai Shuxiang asked with her heart pounding.
The eldest lady looked at Bai Shuyu, who was standing aside with his head lowered.
Bai Shuxiang followed the eldest lady's gaze and looked at Bai Shuyu.
I couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression.
This concubine sister has always been a sensible person. She can’t be related to this matter, right?
The eldest lady looked at Bai Shuyu and said meaningfully, "Someone suggested that your brother marry Princess Huaning, and that you marry into the Su family... Your father had no choice but to meet with the chief examiner of Qingzhou Prefecture at night in the name of the Empress Dowager..."
Before the eldest lady finished her words, Bai Shuxiang stood up.
He raised his hand and slapped Bai Shuyu with a "pa!"
"So it was you who shamelessly wanted a man and caused such a big mess in the family!" Bai Shuxiang said angrily, "Like mother, like daughter! What I raised is what I raised! She's rotten from the root!"
Bai Shuyu was stunned by the beating and the scolding.
Not only was she confused, but even the eldest lady was confused.
My daughter has always been well-educated and well-mannered, why is she speaking so vulgarly now?
She's like a street shrew...
It has to be said that the mistress of a wealthy family would always speak in a roundabout way even when scolding people.
How could such blunt and vulgar words be used?
Bai Shuyu covered his face and looked at Bai Shuxiang in disbelief.
The burning pain on her face reminded her of what was happening.
"Why do you have to slander me like this, Second Sister?!" Bai Shuyu suddenly yelled at Bai Shuxiang.
All the years of forbearance burst out at this moment.
"How could I have known that Daddy was so bold as to forge the Empress Dowager's decree?!" Bai Shuyu shouted, "I was merely offering a suggestion! It was only because Mother was unwilling to see all the benefits go to Second Uncle's family that I was willing to marry into the Su family!"
"Who am I doing all this for? It's for my parents! Grandma and Dad are determined to make friends with the Su family. Apart from me marrying into the Su family, is there any other way?!"
Bai Shuxiang was shocked for a moment by Bai Shuyu's sudden outburst.
Then, he said angrily: "Don't talk so nicely! What do you mean by 'for the sake of father and mother'? It's just for your own sake! Maybe you already know that the Su family is not just a country family, but also a family of officials!"
When Bai Shuxiang said this, a look of contempt appeared on her face.
Then, he continued, "With your status, being able to marry into a family like that and become the wife is already a perfect match! What's more, even Princess Huaning has a special liking for that boy from the Su family, which shows that he is a very talented young man."
As Bai Shuxiang spoke, she looked Bai Shuyu up and down, the contempt on her face becoming even stronger.
"For someone like this, I'm afraid you've already developed feelings for her, which is why you've gone to great lengths to marry her! It's a shame that my father and mother were deceived by you! I raise her as my own child! She's always selfish, always thinking only of herself, regardless of the safety of the family!"
After hearing what Bai Shuxiang said, Bai Shuyu felt embarrassed and angry, and her face was burning with pain.
"Second sister, you can't subdue the concubine in the backyard, so why do you take it out on me? Even if I was raised by your humble wife, I am still the daughter of the Bai family! Do you think that if I die in poverty, your second sister will be proud?!" Bai Shuyu shouted.
Bai Shuxiang never expected that this half-sister who had always been sensible would not only dare to speak loudly to her today, but also dare to expose her weaknesses?
This is outrageous!
Bai Shuxiang's face flushed with anger as she shouted, "How dare you compare yourself to me? What does your life or death have to do with me? Do you think I'm like that fool Bai Shuqing, someone you use like a pawn all day long?"
"Don't think I don't know. You follow her around all day because she's so headstrong and willful, and she's clueless! So, she's a perfect foil for your own tact and sensibility. With her as a comparison, who wouldn't say behind her back that you're sensible and she's spoiled?"
The unruly, headstrong and brainless Bai Shuqing: "..."
Standing outside the door, his face looked like he was struck by lightning.
Bai Shuqing was worried that Bai Shuyu would be angered by the eldest lady, so she came to the eldest lady's room to take a look after returning to her room.
As a result, there was no one guarding the door of the eldest lady's room, so Bai Shuqing overheard everything.
Originally, such a thing would not have happened, but the sisters of the Bai family had a quarrel and mentioned the matter of the eldest master falsely conveying the Empress Dowager's decree.
The matter was of great importance, and the nanny guarding the door was so frightened that she quickly sent the other servants away.
This nanny is the eldest lady's confidante, so it's okay for her to hear many secrets, but others certainly can't.
Unfortunately, the nanny had just had a stomachache and went to the toilet, but she didn't dare let anyone else guard it, for fear that the secret would be spread, so there was a short gap at the door.
However, in just a short while, Bai Shuqing arrived.
In the room, Bai Shuyu was shocked and angry when Bai Shuxiang pointed out his little plan.
She simply threw it all away and shouted, "So what? Who made her so stupid? You two both have your own mothers protecting you. If I don't plan for myself, how can I survive? All I want is to marry a good man! What's wrong with that?"
"You came all the way here because the Queen Mother is here, and you want to use her and the Bai family to benefit yourself, right?"
"As a married daughter, you not only haven't helped your parents' family, but you've been plotting all day to take advantage of them. I'm arranging a marriage for myself, which will not only not harm the Bai family, but will actually benefit them!"
When Bai Shuyu said this, he raised his chin and looked at Bai Shuxiang with a proud attitude.
"I am much more useful to the Bai family than you are!" Bai Shuyu's eyes were full of provocation.
Bai Shuxiang was so angry after being scolded by her half-sister that she was shaking all over.
"Mom, listen? This is her true face!" Bai Shuxiang looked at the eldest lady and said loudly.
The eldest lady's head was buzzing.
She didn't want to admit that she had been wrong all these years.
But I have to admit it.
It turns out that my concubine's daughter is so shrewd and calculating...
Bai Shuyu looked at the eldest lady, a flash of panic in his eyes.
After all, her marriage is ultimately in the hands of the eldest lady.
