Chapter 340: Bai Yi Extra (Part 1)

The young master and young lady who had been missing in the Prime Minister's Mansion have returned. This should have been a happy thing, but the atmosphere in the Prime Minister's Mansion was very tense on the day the young master and young lady returned.

The sun was shining brightly, and the young master, who was the pride of the Bai family, had been kneeling outside the hall for an hour.

Bai Yao wanted to run outside several times, but was stopped by the people guarding the door.

She turned around, "Dad, Mom, he has been kneeling outside for a long time. If he keeps kneeling like this, his body will not be able to bear it."

Not to mention that it was a sunny day today. She was really worried that Bai Yi would be dehydrated by the sun, just like when he was six years old, he cried and cried, and then he lay limp on her and couldn't move.

Prime Minister Bai had a cold face, and he looked as hard-hearted as a rock and would not be moved.

The Prime Minister's wife showed some reluctance on her face. After all, Bai Yi was raised by her, and this child has been very obedient since childhood and has never made them worry. Who would have thought that such a well-behaved child would cause such a big trouble?

Prime Minister Bai asked with an unpleasant face: "When did you know that you are not siblings?"

Bai Yao answered honestly: "When I was six years old."

The Prime Minister's wife was surprised, "You knew it so early!"

Bai Yao nodded.

The prime minister's wife frowned and said, "We shouldn't have, we have never revealed Quzai's origins to the outside world."

Bai Yao couldn't say that she found out that they were different species and then knew that she and Bai Yi were not siblings. She made up an excuse, "Weren't I kidnapped with my brother at that time? We both suffered minor injuries, and I found that our blood didn't mix, and then we knew."

Her reason was ridiculous, but the ancients believed in blood test to identify relatives.

Prime Minister Bai: "In other words, you two have been together for a long time?"

Bai Yao's eyes were a little erratic.

Prime Minister Bai slammed the table in anger, "That brat! He has read so many books by sages, but he dared to seduce you..."

Bai Yao interrupted his father, "Dad, you are wrong, I have always regarded Quzai as a child foster husband."

Prime Minister Bai's expression froze, "What did you say?"

Bai Yao said frankly: "Dad, think about it, Quzai is handsome, well-educated, and has impeccable character. I grew up with him and know him well. You have also seen that there are many people in Beijing. How many unmarried ladies want to marry Quzai? How can I justify the fact that I have such a good man but cannot get him? "

Prime Minister Bai was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "Nonsense! Aren't you afraid that what you said will be heard by others and spread out? What reputation will our Bai family have?"

Madam Bai rolled her eyes in an indecent manner, "Hasn't your good niece ruined the reputation of the Bai family's lady long ago?"

Prime Minister Bai was speechless.

Mrs. Bai sneered, "I said at the beginning that I would find a good family for her, prepare her dowry, and marry her off. Your good niece shouted that she would not accept an arranged marriage, but the next moment she was seen chatting and laughing with the courtesan in a brothel. Who would go to such a place to watch the fun? During that time, I was so embarrassed to deal with those wives of officials."

Prime Minister Bai was not so confident, "She grew up in the countryside and lacks some manners. She just needs to learn more manners."

Mrs. Bai slammed the table, stood up and said angrily: "I used my connections to invite so many maids from the palace to teach her manners, but she Have you learned it seriously? Not only does she dress up as a man to visit brothels, she also talks about equality for all to her servants on the street. Let me tell you, Bai Yu, if His Majesty hadn't been so indifferent, our family would have been finished because of her sooner or later!"

Prime Minister Bai lost his momentum immediately after being yelled at. He looked at the servants who were bowing their heads, and couldn't lower his face to say something nice, "Madam, we are talking about Yaoyao's affairs, why are you talking about others?"

Madam Bai raised her eyebrows, "Didn't you say before that my daughter doesn't look like a lady from a wealthy family? Compared with your good niece, my daughter is much worse!"

Prime Minister Bai's face flushed, and he couldn't continue.

He had a smooth career, his wife was beautiful and generous, and his two children were obedient and sensible. He was the object of countless envy. However, his niece, whom he found back home, was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. She caused one crazy thing after another. If others had not been concerned about his status, the Bai family would have become a topic of conversation for others long ago.

Mrs. Bai was not a scholar and did not have her husband's rigid cognition. She said, "Yaoyao is right. Quzhai is a child who grew up under my care. I know him inside and out. It is better for Yaoyao to be with him than to marry some unfamiliar young man."

Prime Minister Bai: "Madam, you can't say that..."

Mrs. Bai: "If Yaoyao marries someone else, and one day this man brings back a lively and lovely niece, what should we do?"

When she said the word "lively and lovely", she gritted her teeth.

Prime Minister Bai couldn't answer this question directly, so he threw out a difficult question instead, "Everyone knows that Bai Yi is our son. If Yao Yao is with him, we can't explain it."

Mrs. Bai glanced at him, "What's so hard to explain? Just say that when we went to visit Daguo Temple, the monk said that we would have a daughter in our destiny, and the monk also pointed out that our daughter and a child are destined to be together. If these two children are not together, the marriage will not be smooth, so we took this child back to raise."

Prime Minister Bai: "..."

This is the first time he knows that his wife can lie so openly, and she won't even blink when she lies.

Then he realized a problem.

In the twenty years since they got married, has she also fooled him without blinking?

Mrs. Bai didn't notice her husband thinking. She sighed: "It's just that Qu Xi is so famous in Beijing at such a young age. Once this news spreads, he will be known as a son-in-law..."

A voice came from the door. "I don't mind."

Bai Yi was supported by Bai Yao. He stood up with difficulty. A smile appeared on his weak face. "As long as I can be with Yaoyao, I don't mind."

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Good boy."

Prime Minister Bai snorted uncomfortably. After all, he was not as aggressive as before.

Bai Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Bai couple treated him as their own son and had been kind to him. He felt that it was not fair for him to have taken advantage of their precious daughter and he felt guilty. Whether for himself or for Bai Yao, he wanted to gain the approval of the two elders.

Bai Yao smiled and said, "Dad, please pick a lucky day. I want to get married to Quzai."

Prime Minister Bai glanced over and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I need to find a master to calculate a good day. I have to wait for at least a year or so."

He did this on purpose.
