Chapter 240
Zhenshi wiped away her tears, her mother saved her life in the end with her kindness.

"Mother, don't cry." Xiao Fuyuan wiped Zhen's tears with a handkerchief.

Zhen Shi forced a smile and said: "Mother is fine, it's all over."

Brothers Bai Dazhuang and Wuwei Chen looked at Zhenshi anxiously.

Fortunately, there is a younger sister, but without a younger sister, these boys really don't know how to comfort mother.

"Mother, why did you suddenly tell us today?"

Bai Panmei asked some questions that the brothers hadn't asked.

Mrs. Zhen lived a peaceful life in Shenshu Village, and hadn't mentioned a single thing about the past to them for so many years, and it was inevitable that people would think wildly when it was brought up suddenly.

Bai Panmei has a serious face. In the current Great Xia, after the criminal ministers, the men will not beheaded and the women will no longer be in the Goulan, but they cannot participate in the imperial examination.

He changed his mind, it doesn't matter, if he can't take the imperial examination, since he has the body of a scholar, it is enough to find a teaching position in a certain village like the second brother.

Regrets are regrets, but Bai Panmei doesn't feel any resentment towards her mother's life experience at all, only heartache and sympathy.

"I originally planned to keep this matter a secret, but after thinking about it, you are all older and more sensible, so I should tell you." Zhen's quiet voice has a soothing power.

"Your mother can say what she wants to say, and don't say it if she doesn't want to. What's the reason?" Bai Muban glared at Bai Panmei.

But Bai Muban also had doubts in his heart, why did his old wife take the initiative to bring up the past to his family today.He was usually afraid that she would touch his heart, but he never mentioned the past in front of her.

Did something happen to the old wife, or was she discovered by the court?
Bai Muban was full of thoughts.

must have been discovered.

In case the Bai family is found hiding criminals from the court, he and other descendants of the Bai family are destined to be exiled.There is no way, it will be sold as soon as it is sold, who made them the descendants of the Bai family.

He had to keep his wife and daughter, so he went to ask Ah Zhen. Ah Zhen's uncle was a general who could speak to the court.

As for the daughter-in-law at home.
"Boss, write a letter of divorce to your daughter-in-law later." Bai Muban was making arrangements.

What?
Bai Dazhuang looked at his father in disbelief?

Let him divorce Xie Chuntao?
Is his father confused? His mother's Zhen Guogong's mansion has already been taken over in one pot. Maybe after treating him as Zhen Guogong, he felt that Xie Chuntao was not good enough for him.

Want him to follow the example of those men who pick up high branches and divorce their wives?
Isn't this nonsense?
Xie Chuntao's mind went blank, her always kind father-in-law was about to divorce her.

She respects her parents-in-law and loves her sister-in-law, what did she do to offend Lao Bai's family?

Xie Chuntao burst into tears.

"What are you talking about?" Old Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen said in unison.

"Not only the eldest divorced his wife, but the third also divorced." Bai Muban said with a determined face.

You Jingui, who was patting Xiao Lang, wanted to divorce Xie Chuntao and Tian Maimiao for some reason, but she couldn't help but feel happy, without mentioning her, her position as a talented lady was very stable.

What she didn't know was that Bai Muban had completely forgotten that there was such a daughter-in-law as her.

"Father, why do you want to divorce the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law?" Xiao Fuyuan knew that father was not the kind of unreasonable person, and the red-browed and white-faced would divorce. There must be some difficulties that everyone didn't know.

"Dad, what did I do wrong?" Xie Chuntao cried.

"What joke did you make? Ask the eldest and the third to divorce their wives." The old lady Bai was so angry that she wanted to hit her son.

Bai Muban said bitterly: "The eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law were divorced. People who don't belong to our Bai family can't be questioned by the court. The grandsons of Dalang Erlang are still young, so they won't be implicated if they clear up. Mother You and Xiao Yuanbao don't have to worry, I'll go and ask Housekeeper He to keep you and Xiao Yuanbao safe."

"As for me and Da Zhuang Niang." Bai Muban gritted his teeth and said decisively, "I and a few children will accompany us on the journey."

"Which way are you going, can you tell me clearly?" Old lady Bai asked anxiously.

"Yes, Dad, where are you going?" Bai Dazhuang was puzzled.

He is asked to divorce his wife and go on the road again, what kind of trouble is going to happen.

Bai Erzhuang suddenly understood, no wonder his mother wanted to tell them about the past, it turned out that something happened, and the court might have chased them down.

"Father is right, we brothers will accompany father and mother." The second child of the Bai family looked determined.

Everyone was bewitched by the father and son.

Zhen Shi suddenly realized something, and asked Bai Muban: "Father, what do you mean?"

Bai Muban said righteously: "Mother, don't worry, my sons and I will accompany you. I'm not afraid of prison, exile, or beheading."

Zhen Shi: "."

Old lady Bai: "You don't want to be good, what are you going to jail, beheading, exile, ah bah bah bah, can you say something nice..."

Bai Muban looked at Zhen Shi: "No incident happened?"

Knowing that Bai Muban was thinking about it, Zhen quickly shook her head and said, "What happened."

Bai Muban said with disbelief, "Then why did you mention this to the children?"

Zhen smiled lightly and said, "I just think the children are getting older, so we should tell them."

Bai Muban clutched his chest and said, "I was scared to death, I thought it was Tian Maimiao's father's mother who reported on us last time."

Zhen Shi and old lady Bai were speechless.

Xie Chuntao wiped away tears, she was so frightened that her mind was in a daze.

"Father, since I am the daughter-in-law of the Bai family, I will go forward and retreat together with the Bai family. Father, don't say anything in the future to divorce me back to my natal family so as not to hurt me." Xie Chuntao stood up and walked towards Bai Muban and Zhen's bowed profusely and said.

Faced with his daughter-in-law's "accusation", Bai Muban was quite embarrassed, he smiled and said: "You are also someone else's daughter, I don't want to let the family affairs involve you and Mai Miao."

Hearing this, You Jingui wanted to fall down angrily. It turned out that he didn't want to stop her, but he didn't care about her life at all.

You Jingui once again realized that his status in the Bai family was no different from air.

"Your mother is in such a situation. There is no guarantee that something will happen in the future, and everyone will be affected." Bai Muban kept his mind and reiterated to his sons.

Bai Dazhuang said: "Since it's a family, don't talk about getting involved, I'm not afraid."

Xie Chuntao said: "I'm not afraid either."

Bai Erzhuang and others followed suit, and even grandsons like Da Lang expressed that they were not afraid.

You Jingui wanted to win a wave of goodwill, and said firmly, "Xiao Lang and I will follow everyone."

But no one paid any attention to her.

Zhen said: "Even if the incident happened, I heard that the current sage is quite wise, so he shouldn't pursue it too much."

Bai Panmei echoed: "Mother is right, now the guilty officials will not be beheaded and exiled, at most they will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination."

"Ah, you, fourth brother." Xie Chuntao was startled.

Bai Panmei said: "It's okay, I really can't take the imperial examination, I can be a private school teacher like my second brother, and I can go home and farm."

Zhen's eyes darkened. If it was because of herself that the fourth child was really disqualified from the imperial examination, she would blame herself for the rest of her life.

"Xiao Yuanbao, please say a few good words, just say that your mother's past affairs will not happen, and your fourth brother can take the imperial examination."

The old lady Bai grabbed Xiao Fuyuan's hand, like grabbing a piece of driftwood.

For some reason, she now only believes what her little granddaughter says.

As soon as the old lady Bai finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at her expectantly.
