Chapter 758 760. The Truth
When Mrs. Meng said this, Bai Jingyang and her two children had already turned pale and cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.
But Old Lady Bai asked Mrs. Meng to continue.
"The young master and the young lady hurried out. Before I could call for help, Steward Yu, who was standing outside the door, ran in..."
Seeing that Bai Yugang, Marquis of Wu'an, was already unconscious, Manager Yu naturally did not dare to delay. He did not even notice Mrs. Meng coming in from the back room. He hurried out to call the palace doctor.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The palace doctor shook his head and said, "I have long told you to pay attention to the Marquis's mood. You should not be too sad, happy, or angry."
Manager Yu became anxious and prepared to send someone to notify the old lady and several masters.
Unexpectedly, at this time Kuang Yunqiao brought the second young master and the young lady in and gathered everyone in the yard, of course, even Mrs. Meng was no exception.
After a while of beatings, he asked, "How did you all serve the Marquis? Such a big thing happened, and no one noticed anything unusual.
If this gets out, none of you will be able to escape."
Manager Yu didn't want to take the blame, so he asked directly, "At that time, the master was talking to the second young master and his daughter in the house, and we were just guarding outside the door.
The young master left in a hurry with the young lady without even saying hello..."
"You didn't serve me well, yet you dare to push the blame on the master," Kuang Yunqiao glared at him, "Don't think that just because Bai Jinglie will be the Marquis in the future, you will not take us three people seriously. Don't forget, no matter what, I will be the old lady of this mansion in the future. Even if he inherits the title, he still has to be filial to me, his mother."
The servants in the courtyard didn't dare to speak, because what Kuang Yunqiao said made sense.
Kuang Yunqiao has always been the mistress of this mansion. Even if the Crown Prince's wife becomes the housekeeper in the future, it will be easy for Kuang Yunqiao, as the old lady, to deal with them.
"However, considering that you have served the master so loyally, this lady will accept your kindness and will definitely arrange a good place for you in the future. Even your family will be arranged as well."
“…”
"Why, you haven't made a decision yet?"
"I will follow your orders, Madam," Manager Yu took the lead, and the servants behind him all bent down.
…
Old Madam Bai raised her walking stick and hit Kuang Yunqiao a few times without any hesitation, but Kuang Yunqiao couldn't dodge and had to take it.
"Look at the good children you taught, they are such unfilial and unrighteous things, they dare to push the blame on their own brothers when they do something wrong.
This shameless look is completely influenced by your Kuang family."
Bai Jinglie supported the old lady, trying his best to prevent her from falling, but his eyes were cold as he looked at Bai Yangyang.
On the first day after he returned, Marquis Wu'an called him into the courtyard and asked for his share of maritime trade.
What he meant was that he was in charge of all the maritime trade now, and if he made some adjustments, no one else would be able to notice.
They don't even think about themselves. The emperor has handed over such a big job to him, so how can he not have people around him?
When the time comes, they will benefit, but he will have to take the blame.
It could be said that God was merciful. Bai Yugang, who was already furious, became even more furious after being provoked by Bai Jingyang and the others, which dealt him a fatal blow.
It’s not that he is unfilial. He was actually relieved when he heard the bad news about Bai Yugang.
If there hadn't been outsiders present at the time, he would have wanted to laugh out loud three times.
"Your mother really brought you up," said Mrs. Bai, who lost her son in her old age and attacked indiscriminately.
Even the grandchildren who had some love for their father in the past, at this moment, no longer cared about anything, and pointed at their noses and scolded, "You saw your father was not feeling well in the yard, but you didn't go to find a doctor immediately, but ran away.
My poor son has always been thinking about you, but how do you repay him? "
When Old Lady Bai said this, her hands were shaking with excitement, "You still have the nerve to spread rumors everywhere and put all the blame on your brother.
You two go to the mourning hall and kneel down. Neither of you are allowed to get up without my permission."
Madam Bai held onto Bai Jinglie tightly and said, "Go and ask the relatives to come over. We must clarify this matter."
Kuang Yunqiao couldn't stand it any longer at this moment, her knees softened and she knelt on the ground, "Madam, the Marquis's body is still warm, do you want to help this unfilial son drive us out of the mansion?"
Madam Bai closed her eyes and gasped, "While I am still alive, I cannot let you continue to do whatever you want in Wu'an Marquis Mansion.
Steward, go find all the clan leaders and relatives for me, I want to divide the family."
Bai Jinglie supported Old Madam Bai and quickly called the court doctor who was waiting on the side to help the old lady relieve the pain.
The few people who served him closely had already followed the old lady's orders and ran to ask for help.
Kuang Yunqiao stared at Bai Jinglie with hatred in her eyes, "Even if the family is separated, I am still the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion. You can't be unfilial."
Bai Jinglie glanced at her and said, "My mother's tablet is still in the Bai family's ancestral hall."
“…”
Kuang Yunqiao's crying stopped abruptly. She was the second wife, and was promoted from a concubine. In the early years, Bai Yugang wanted to help her enter the family tree, but it seemed that he had forgotten about it in recent years.
Bai Jinglie's words reminded her, and his face turned even paler.
She turned around and threw herself on the coffin in the mourning hall, crying miserably, "My Lord, why did you leave us, an orphan and a widow, and go away? There is no place for us to stand in this mansion..."
Old Madam Bai had also recovered by now, Bai Jinglie's words had served as a reminder to her.
The name of the Marquis' wife Kuang Yunqiao is a bit unjustified.
According to the family tree, she was not even a second wife.
Thinking of her years of obstruction and the help of the clan elders, Mrs. Bai became even more determined.
When the news from Wu'an Marquis' Mansion came again, everyone was shocked.
“So there is no such thing as the Marquis’s wife, and all these years Mrs. Kuang didn’t know that she was not included in the family tree.
What about the children she bore?"
"She is included in the family tree," said someone who knew the inside story mysteriously, "She entered the mansion as a concubine, so the child is naturally under her name."
"So the second young master and the eldest young lady are both illegitimate children." More and more people gathered together when they heard the gossip.
"That's right. Now that Lord Bai and Madam Bai are both gone, the old lady in the mansion is in charge of the overall situation. She is preparing to divide the family after the funeral. The documents have already been drafted."
"What about the original Marquis's wife?"
"Naturally, his biological son took him out to be taken care of. Originally, as the legitimate son, he could have received three tiers of inheritance, but now it seems that he will not even have 10% left.
It’s a pity that the family that married him, I don’t know if they will regret the marriage after this incident.”
As a qualified gossip person, one has a broad mind. When no one else thinks about it, someone is already thinking further ahead.
