Chapter 5: Sure enough, it is the Regent
Bai Qinghuan pulled Lu Wanning's hand.
"Mom, even though Mo Xuan is a man, he has to be independent when he grows up. He has to understand some of the secrets of the backyard, otherwise he will suffer a lot of conspiracy in the future."
"Are you going to make Mo Xuan a blind man like his father in the future?"
Lu Wanning's heart was moved. Her son must be a handsome and handsome man, and he must not be manipulated by the shady means in the backyard.
If you don’t want to be tricked, you must first understand the twists and turns involved.
Bai Qinghuan continued: "Mom, their arrogance is only temporary. We will have a daughter in the future."
Bai Moxuan couldn't help but ask, "Sister, will you still follow the Third Prince in the future?"
His lips were pouted in obvious disapproval.
My sister is so beautiful, why don’t you love yourself?
Bai Qinghuan's mind flashed back to how her previous life had been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Third Prince every day. She would follow him wherever he went, pretending to meet him by chance. To be honest, that was pretty despicable.
"No, my sister doesn't like him anymore."
"real?"
Although Lu Wanning was a little skeptical, she was still relieved.
"Really, Xiaoxuan believes in me, I will never mess around again."
"Sister, keep your word~"
Bai Qinghuan shook hands with him again, and Bai Moxuan became happy.
"Mother, I suspect this is a trap set by Bai Qingyou and the Third Prince, so I will find a way to cancel the engagement later. The Third Prince is not a good man."
"I was really blind back then, so I saved him."
That year, Lu Wanning went to burn incense and met the third prince who was abducted on the way. The third prince crawled out from the dog hole in the palace because of playing.
He was wearing fine clothes and had no adults around him, just like a child holding gold ingots in a busy city.
Being coveted, that's for sure.
He was hungry and had no money, so his meat bun was cheated away by someone.
It turned out that man was a human trafficker.
Lu Wanning met and saved a group of children. His biological mother, Concubine Yun, arranged a marriage for him as a token of gratitude. Bai Qinghuan was only one year old at that time.
"How can you cancel the engagement? This is a marriage granted by His Majesty."
"Mom, there is still more than half a year before I come of age. There must be a way."
"When I feel better, I will ask your uncle to come to the palace to ask for permission."
"Mother, I'm afraid that's not possible. The An Ning Marquisate has not been favored by the emperor in recent years. My uncle is in a difficult situation now. Please don't make it worse."
"Don't worry, mother. There will definitely be a way."
The reason she told it was that even though her mother would be worried, it was better than knowing nothing.
She was determined to cancel the engagement with the Third Prince.
The most urgent task is to take good care of my mother's health.
"Mom, do you still love dad?"
Lu Wanning's smile froze, her lips moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.
"I see."
Bai Qinghuan knew that if she wanted to be free in the mansion, she needed to step on Aunt Zheng and her daughter.
If possible, she wanted her mother to divorce and set up a new family.
Hehuanyuan
Bai Qinghuan was covered with a quilt, leaning against the head of the bed.
All he could think about was his mother's distressed expression. Even for the sake of both of them, there was no way his mother would divorce him.
My mother probably thinks Prime Minister Bai Changhao is too good to be true and would rather throw him away.
He was a student from a poor family, but because he married the eldest daughter of the An Ning Marquisate, he relied on the An Ning Marquisate's arrangements to rise step by step to the position of Prime Minister.
However, in the second year of his marriage, he took in several concubines, including Aunt Zheng, on the grounds that his mother had no children.
She was born the following year, and Aunt Zheng gave birth to Bai Qingyou.
A few years later, my mother gave birth to a legitimate son, and Aunt Zheng, not wanting to be left behind, gave birth to a illegitimate son, Bai Moyang.
He spent her mother's dowry, supported his concubines and illegitimate children, and treated her mother coldly every day.
"ungrateful!"
He is a student from a poor family, where does he get the money? It's still the same as his mother's wedding dress.
By now, the An Ning Marquis' Mansion had fallen into decline, and his mother's dowry had been almost completely wasted. He wanted to cross the river and dismantle it, and get rid of it after it had served its purpose.
Now that she is here, she must not agree to it.
The first step is to keep the money firmly in your own hands.
The accountant of the Prime Minister's Mansion should also have money, just not much.
Bai Changhao considers himself a scholar who is not tainted by money and does not care about his family's livelihood at all.
Whether it is the interpersonal relationships outside or the big and small affairs at home, my mother takes care of them all by herself.
Her mother was as tired as a dog every day. She dragged her frail body to take care of the food and drink of the whole family. She looked more than ten years older than her peers.
As a result, the scumbag and his concubine were in love with each other, enjoying themselves very happily under the moonlight.
How can it not be infuriating!
Fuck you!
There is no such good thing in the world.
Ungrateful people should stay in the mud and never be able to turn over.
Mother, you must divorce Bai Changhao. You can’t let them continue to suck your blood.
It must be thrown away.
Her mother would definitely be concerned about her and her brother, so she should first find herself a bigger backer who is not afraid of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Mother shouldn't be so hesitant.
Biyun came in and saw her in a daze.
"Miss, are you feeling unwell again? Shall I go and call the doctor?"
"It's okay, I'll lie down for a while."
"Girl, I found out."
"Oh? Which prince's bodyguard is Shufeng?"
Biyun's body trembled noticeably: "It's... the Regent."
"It's him indeed."
"Girl? What do you mean? The Regent is extremely powerful, cruel and ruthless. We can't afford to offend him."
Bai Qinghuan sat up and held her sweaty hand.
"No offense, don't be afraid, he is my savior."
"Do you think I can escape from being drugged in the Princess's mansion?"
Biyun trembled even more violently.
"So...girl...do you have any?"
She could understand what Biyun had not finished saying, and she also knew her worries. If her virginity was deflowered, her life would be ruined.
"No, don't think too much. I took a cold bath to neutralize the effects of the drug."
She actually hoped to have a romantic moment with that hunk-waisted man, but unfortunately, that man didn't understand romance.
"That's good, that's good."
It’s no wonder that Biyun was afraid. Everyone in Dongxi Kingdom had heard of the name of the Regent.
He joined the battlefield at the age of twelve and became famous at the age of fifteen. In three years, he went from a small soldier to a general. It can be seen how powerful he was.
When he was eighteen years old, he led the Dongxi army to flatten the Xirong royal court and killed more than 100,000 Xirong soldiers.
The Regent is 25 years old this year. For seven whole years, the Western Rong have not dared to invade again.
That was the man who crawled out from the sea of corpses. He was so majestic and imposing. Who wouldn’t be terrified when seeing him?
The current emperor is obsessed with practicing Taoism and refining elixirs, and lives a life of drunkenness and debauchery every day. All military and political power has been handed over to the regent.
The court officials wanted to let the princes participate in state affairs, but the regent disagreed, so the court officials and princes dared not speak out.
The court is definitely the regent’s court, and the Kingdom of Dongxi is also the regent’s Kingdom of Dongxi.
In front of such a powerful person, even Prime Minister Bai Changhao would have to keep his tail between his legs if he came in front of him.
There is no greater supporter than him.
However, how to make him surrender to her requires careful consideration.
She is now notorious in the capital, and the only thing she can use is this face.
But the Regent has seen all kinds of beauties over the years, and beauty cannot move him.
The engagement is also a troublesome matter. I'd better cancel it first.
Everything needs to wait until you recover.
I'm thinking too much and I'm having a headache.
Zi Yan tucked the corner of the quilt for her and said, "Girl, get some sleep. You are still sick, so you shouldn't worry too much."
Bai Qinghuan lay down, but still said worriedly:
"Zi Yan, go to my mother's yard and tell her that the weather is cold, and ask her to rest and recuperate, and hand over the housekeeping power to me."
