Gu Tingyu was originally supposed to attend the third-day baptism ceremony, but Bai asked Mama Chang to find a way to confine him in the yard.
This child is too thoughtful. If he wants to do something during the third-day baptism ceremony, will the Bai family be on guard against him?
Since Gu Tingyu was not present, the ladies of the fourth and fifth rooms would naturally ask about it. Bai said directly that Gu Tingyu was taking medicine and sleeping soundly, and if they wanted to visit him, they could come back tomorrow.
The fourth lady was full of disbelief, but was persuaded by the clan lady.
The Fifth Lady has always been a good person. She doesn't believe it in her heart but doesn't show it on her face.
When the banquet was over, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang came in and talked with Bai for a while before leaving. She also helped entertain the guests and saw them off with the clan wives.
The Bai family's obvious distinction between close and distant relatives made it clear to everyone who came to attend the third day bath that the Marquis' Mansion and the Fourth and Fifth Houses were not close, at least the Bai family did not like the Fourth and Fifth Houses.
Some people may say a few words behind your back, but no one has said anything openly.
After all, Bai was not only the wife of the Ningyuan Marquis, but her imperial edict was also different. Even though she came from a merchant family, her rank was higher than most of the people present.
After thanking the clan lady again and again, Mother Chang escorted the clan lady out of the house on behalf of Bai.
After waking up from a nap, Bai began to deal with matters related to the delivery.
First came a few servants, two of whom were sent from the Dongchang Marquis' Mansion. After taking the confession, they locked the man up and kept him under guard, as they would be of great use later.
Unexpectedly, another servant committed suicide by taking poison. He was the servant who wanted to set off firecrackers.
After much investigation, it turned out that this person was not from the mansion, and the person with this name used by the servants had disappeared.
Mrs. Bai listened to the facts that Chang Mama had found out, frowned slightly and said, "If you can't find out anything, just leave it alone for now."
This is the only way. People come and go without a trace, and I don’t know where to find them.
The Jingzhao Yin received the invitation from the Ningyuan Marquis's residence and brought people to conduct an examination that day. Strangely, no one from the Dongchang Marquis's residence came, and no one came to make trouble on the third day of the baby's birth.
One of the three midwives accepted some silver from a servant in the outer courtyard. When she handed the silver over, she found that it was indeed from the Marquis' Mansion.
Bai touched the silver and smiled slightly, looking towards Gu Tingyu's yard.
One of the other two midwives was bribed by the Fourth House, and the other was sent here by the Marquis of Dongchang's Mansion.
The Bai family of the Marquisate felt that their care was in vain. So many problems suddenly emerged after giving birth to a child.
Because the midwives did not sign a contract to sell themselves, they were forced to sign a confession, beaten with a stick, and locked up.
Three days later, there was still no movement in the Dongchang Marquis Mansion. Bai thought about it and asked Mama Chang to go out and do something.
In the mansion, Gu Tingyu stayed in bed all day, and his face became thinner and thinner.
Bai directly ordered the guards to seal off Gu Tingyu's yard. Gu Tingyu had his own private kitchen in his yard. People in his yard were only allowed to enter but not leave. Anyone who tried to sneak out would be beaten on the spot.
Bai still couldn't take any action to punish this child. As for the other concubines, they could die, but if Gu Tingyu died, Gu Yankai would definitely go crazy.
Although this life was different from the previous one, Gu Tingyu kept causing trouble for the Bai family. But now was not the time to deal with him. At least when Gu Yankai was around, there would be a chance.
That day, the people in Gu Tingyu's yard asked the guards outside the gate to pass on a message, and the guards came to the main yard and found Chang's mother.
When Chang's mother entered the room, Bai had just woken up from her nap. After being helped up by Chang's mother, Bai gestured to Chang's mother to speak frankly.
After receiving the signal, Mother Chang spoke: "Miss, the eldest young master asked the guard to pass a message to you, just say that he knows he is wrong and will never dare to do it again."
