Chapter 757 759. Dumb
As soon as Meng Po arrived at the mourning hall, she knelt on the ground and greeted the old lady in a hoarse voice.
Kuang Yunqiao and Manager Yu's faces were pale at this moment, and they looked at Mrs. Meng in disbelief.
Bai Jingli on the side lost her temper first and pointed at Granny Meng and said, "You, you are not a mute?"
"I'm not mute, it's just that my voice is hard to hear. I'm afraid of disturbing the masters, so I gradually stopped talking." Mrs. Meng's unique hoarse voice made everyone's ears uncomfortable.
The sweat on Manager Yu's forehead was now dripping onto the floor like water drops. He looked to Kuang Yunqiao for help several times but received no response.
Kuang Yunqiao's legs felt weak, but Bai Yangyang, who was standing beside her, supported her.
Old Madam Bai looked at them and snorted coldly. Mrs. Meng had been in the mansion for decades, longer than Kuang Yunqiao had been in the mansion.
She has been a mistress for decades, but she doesn't even care about the people around the Marquis.
Only his own son was stupid and couldn't see that the person this woman really cared about was not him.
"Can you tell me what's going on there?"
"Old Madam," Kuang Yunqiao said to stop her, "An old woman who has been silent for decades, her words cannot be trusted."
Madam Bai glanced at her and said, "Mrs. Meng grew up serving the Marquis. She is so loyal to the Marquis that no one in this mansion can match her.
Besides, she hasn't even opened her mouth yet, so how can you conclude that what she says cannot be trusted?
This Kuang family is really well-educated, allowing you to cause trouble in my house for so many years."
Old Madam Bai would never admit that Kuang Yunqiao had been domineering in the mansion for so many years because of her own son's indulgence. Anyway, it was others who were wrong.
Kuang Yunqiao's face turned red because she was humiliated in front of so many servants in the mansion.
He cursed in his heart, how could this old woman still live so long? The Marquis is gone, and she is still isolated in the mansion at such an old age. If she had not been angry yesterday and followed him, it would have been a great blessing.
"My Lords, when the Second Young Master and Young Lady came to the inner courtyard yesterday, I was cleaning up in the back room."
Everyone present had an impression of the back wing that Meng Po mentioned. That was because the marquis was paralyzed in bed, and in order to make it more convenient for more people to take care of the master, the back wing was connected with the east wing. This way, more servants could stand guard at night without disturbing the master.
Bai Jingyang and his sister's faces turned pale, and they looked at Kuang Yunqiao nervously.
Kuang Yunqiao's mind was already in a state of confusion. No matter how many schemes she had planned before, they had all become a mess at this moment.
"Not long after the Marquis kicked the Crown Prince out yesterday, the Second Young Master and his men arrived.
As soon as the young master entered the room, he asked the Marquis, "How is the matter going? Did the eldest brother agree?"
Lord Bai's anger, which had finally subsided, was aroused again. After a breathless scolding, he said, "Your elder brother refused to agree, saying that he had no say in this matter. If I had an idea, I could go to the palace to meet the emperor. How can I, that unfilial son, go to see the emperor in my current condition?"
Bai Jingyang, "Why is Big Brother like this? He doesn't even take me, his brother, seriously.
I asked him to take me with me to do some maritime trade before, but he immediately refused.
This time I just want to get some shares in shipping, not to take advantage of him for nothing, why can't he see me doing well?
Dad, will we still have a place to stand in this mansion in the future?"
Bai Jingli was also wiping tears, "Dad, our family is in such a difficult situation right now, and my eldest brother is the future marquis, why can't he think about the family?
My mother is very frugal in order to make a living, even if he hates my mother, he can't treat you badly!"
When Bai Jingli thought about how few things there were in the mansion's storeroom, she became anxious. Fortunately, her second brother was already engaged and her family had given a betrothal gift, but what about her dowry?
Are we just going to rely on those old items in the warehouse?
When she thought of the old lady and the late lady leaving their dowries to Bai Jinglie, she felt secretly resentful.
But even if she was thinking about these things, she couldn't say them out loud.
But the Marquis' Mansion is a family after all, and the eldest brother holds so much wealth, why can't he make life better for the family?
After being provoked by the brother and sister, Lord Bai was furious, “He is just like his mother who died early, lonely, arrogant, and selfish.
Over the years, apart from giving some useless New Year gifts, I have not made any contribution to this family.
If His Majesty had not favored him, I would have killed him..."
Bai Jingyang, "...Dad, let me say something very unfilial. Have you ever thought about what will happen to me and Mom in the future?"
Lord Bai looked at Bai Jingyang with dissatisfaction, "You are descendants of the Bai family, so you naturally have a share in this family.
Don't worry, I will make arrangements."
"Dad, you can only fool my mother with this," Bai Jingyang said sullenly, "I know that my eldest brother is capable, and the emperor also likes him. From now on, our mansion will definitely belong to my eldest brother.
The son didn't ask for much, he just wanted to live a good life with his mother and sister.
Gu Wenheng is no longer in Lucheng, but his wife still has shares in Haimao. If my brother still has me as his younger brother, I only want those shares. As for everything in the Marquis' Mansion, I don't want anything."
"...I have already mentioned this matter to someone, but that unfilial son said that he couldn't make the decision..."
"Big brother just can't stand seeing us doing well," Bai Jingli bit her lip and said, "Madam Gu is no longer in Lucheng, and Haimao is now in Big brother's hands. Whether it's a loss or a profit, it's just a matter of a word from him.
I think the eldest brother can't distinguish between inside and outside. He would rather help outsiders make money than help his brothers.
Dad, my brother already has so much, why is he still so selfish? "
Bai Yugang gasped even more when he thought of his rebellious and disobedient eldest son.
"Dad, don't be too angry. This is not the first time that big brother has been so unfilial." Bai Jingyang noticed Bai Yugang's condition, but didn't care.
“How about I call the man over, Dad, and you can talk to him properly.
We are all family brothers, if I am well, I won’t be a burden to him.”
Bai Yugang raised his hand with difficulty, but his two children turned a blind eye and kept complaining.
When he could no longer hold on and lay heavily on the bed, Bai Jingyang looked at Bai Jingli with an unpleasant expression, "Why does Dad always use this trick?
It would be fine if it was just used against Big Brother, but now he is using it in front of us."
Bai Jingli was a girl after all, and she was more sensitive. She took a step forward and saw Bai Yugang's pale face and the finger pointing at them.
He covered his mouth and exclaimed, "Brother, Dad seems to really ..."
"What do you mean true or false? I have used this trick countless times.
Dad, please stop acting in front of us. Even if you want to act, you have to wait until Big Brother comes before you can…"
The more Bai Jingyang spoke, the less confident he felt. He walked over and called out a few times in a low voice, but when he found that the person on the bed didn't respond, he became anxious.
This year was really tiring. I am still sore all over after two days back. I apologize for not updating regularly. I will adjust and recover tomorrow.
