When Officer Wang heard this, he was heartbroken; the child had simply not been properly taught.
"Have you ever thought that she is your father's mother? Putting aside everything else, just for the sake of her raising your father, you should respect her."
Have you told your parents about your relationship? Your mother was engaged to someone else a long time ago, but she broke off the engagement against her parents' wishes. They shouldn't have been together in the first place.
However, there was no point in discussing these matters further; Officer Wang simply grabbed Bai Shouye and left.
The little girl pulled Yang Ling'er, wanting to follow. "Mother, we want to go and keep Father company, so he knows he still has us."
Yang Ling'er hesitated. Her cousin was right; she and her husband had indeed eloped. If they went to court... they would be laughed at.
"Mother, go quickly. Don't you want a proper status? If you do, Father will definitely be disappointed in them and will only have us, mother and daughter, in his heart from now on."
This mother is so stupid; I wouldn't know what to do without her as my daughter.
She transmigrated into a book where the original owner's father was destined to become the richest businessman. However, she was unlucky and transmigrated before her father became a wealthy businessman, and her mother was just a mistress.
Fortunately, her father had a plan, and she only needed to wait and see how things would turn out.
But this is for the best. Only when Father is disappointed in that side can Mother become Father's rightful wife.
“Ning’er, I…”
Yang Ling'er was pulled away before she could even think it through.
In the courtroom, Mo Yan, a third-rank noblewoman, still held her title even after her husband's death, so she didn't need to kneel; in fact, the magistrate gave her a chair to sit on.
"Your Honor, I am ashamed to say that I never imagined I would raise such a disobedient and unfilial child. Please take a look at my petition."
The county magistrate has already reviewed and investigated the matter, and consulted with many people.
The gambling den did tell him that he had lost a lot and should stop, but he ignored them and instead made outrageous claims that he was very wealthy and could afford to lose.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely stand up for you."
Bai Shouye, this official asks you, why did you deliberately lose money?
Bai Shouye, of course, could not admit it, saying, "Your Excellency is wronged."
As soon as Bai Shouye mentioned it, the people at the gambling den immediately found witnesses, leaving him speechless.
“I ask you, you clearly still have money and a courtyard. Your courtyard is now magnificent, yet you let the gambling den people rob your old mother. What were you thinking?”
Bai Shouye: "..."
"I just thought my mother wouldn't abandon me. After all, her vast wealth can't be less than what her son does, right? As for what the people at the gambling den will do, how would I know?"
Bai Shouye started to shift the blame, but unfortunately he didn't know that the people at the gambling den had left evidence—the written agreement he had made back then.
"Sir, our gambling den is a legitimate business. He said that everything in his mansion, no matter what it was, was ours, and that as long as no one died, we could do whatever we wanted with it."
That means he never even thought about his mother, and he said that everything in the place he was in now belonged to him.
The written agreement serves as proof that Bai Shouye's filial impiety is undeniable.
"Such an unfilial son, I don't want him anymore. He actually wants us old folks and young children to die for a mistress."
I will expel him from the clan. From now on, I will have no son but only Bai Yuansi as my grandson.
He could not rely on the Bai family for any assistance.
This is also why Mo Yan came to the county government office; he later became a wealthy man thanks to his deceased father's students.
Even this county magistrate was a student of the deceased old man.
"You can't do this, Mother. You keep forcing me, have you ever considered my feelings? I just want you to lose everything, and you're unwilling to do that?"
Author's note: I didn't write any filler words. I only started thanking people after I had written over a thousand words. I'll put the thank-you notes in the comments section from now on.
