Chapter 45

Just as he was talking, a noble lady who was slightly older than Marquis Dingbei came.

She was fierce towards her servants.

But when she arrived in front of Bai Weiyong, her face changed instantly, and she bowed with great respect: "I have met the Prime Minister."

Bai Mingwei and Shen stood up and greeted her.

She said with a smile: "We are all members of our own family, there is no need to be formal."

Bai Weiyong said tiredly: "Madam, what do you mean by coming to the prime minister's house at this time?"

The second young lady wiped the end of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said sadly: "I am naturally here because of the Bai family's affairs, and I would like to express my condolences to the prime minister."

Bai Weiyong didn't answer and looked at her silently.

She was a little embarrassed, because before she came, she had prepared a long speech, hoping to impress the old prime minister with love and reason, so that he would allow her to take her daughter home.

But the old prime minister's eyes seemed to be able to see through her thoughts.

All the secrets are hidden under those shrewd eyes.

Silent, quiet.

It gave her a feeling of being on pins and needles.

It also made her forget the words she had prepared.

Finally, with the light on her back, she looked at Mrs. Dingbeihou: "Mrs. Yu is here too!"

Mrs. Dingbei Hou sneered: "Okay, I have already done what you want to do, but some people insist on not writing the letter of letting go of their wives. What can we do? Our daughter was born and raised by ourselves, and she married into someone else's family. There is nothing we can do about it.”

The second sister-in-law's mother didn't know how to answer the question, so she looked at Bai Weiyong timidly.

Compared to Dingbei Hou Mansion, a family with the support of the Queen Mother, their family was nothing, but she did not dare to say these words.

It’s true that I feel sorry for my daughter. She was widowed just a few years after she got married. If she had a child, she could still have some sustenance. Now that her husband is gone, how can she let her daughter suffer in her husband’s house?

Besides, according to the situation of the Bai family, all the hard work is a luxury.

She carefully observed Bai Weiyong's expression, and finally said these words sincerely.

"Prime Minister, our family has a low family background. In the past, the Prime Minister did not dislike him and formed a good relationship with our family. We are all grateful to the Prime Minister from the bottom of our hearts."

"But as parents, we really can't sit back and watch our daughter seek her own death, so please be kind and generous and let my daughter go!"

Bai Weiyong remained silent and leaned on the coffee table.

The few strands of silver hair hanging around his ears obscured some of his old face.

This made him look embarrassed and pitiful.

Mrs. Shen knew that it was difficult for Bai Mingwei to speak, so she couldn't bear it and had a sullen expression on her face.

She said: "What's going on with you? Since the two sisters-in-law married into the Bai family, when has the Bai family ever treated them badly? Now that the Bai family is in trouble, and they haven't done anything to them, why do they act like the Bai family is sorry? Are they the same?"

"If you want to take him away, then let's discuss it. My grandfather has never done anything to force anyone in his life, and our Bai family will not require a daughter-in-law to wear sackcloth and mourn for her elders and husband!
"Why is one so arrogant and arrogant, and doesn't even have basic courtesy towards his elders? The other is claiming to be his daughter, but he does things that leave no room for others. Do you think the Bai family is a place for you to act recklessly?"

When Mrs. Dingbeihou saw that a junior from the Shen family dared to contradict her like this, she became furious: "A good daughter taught by the Shen family has no education at all. You are just a housewife, why are you yelling in front of me?"

Shen stood up "soaring". Although she was soft and delicate, she exuded an invincible aura.

She flicked her sleeves and said loudly: "Why? From a moral point of view, it's because my parents of the Shen family didn't add insult to injury when my husband's family was in trouble, and they didn't ask me to protect myself and leave my husband's family regardless of family ethics."

"I behave uprightly in front of you and have a clear conscience. How can I be afraid of you?"

"Logically speaking, I am the head wife of the Bai family! This is my home, the place I defend life and death. I will not allow anyone to act wild here!"

In the past, she would have dealt with things more diplomatically and would not have faced conflicts with others so directly.

But at this moment, she didn't want to give in at all.

Nor can I tolerate it.

When the Bai family is in glory, everyone will show some respect when meeting someone who is in love with someone.But today is different from the past. If their attitude is not tough, they will be rounded and squashed by others.

Her change was not only for the family, but also for the old man who was speechless for a while.

If anyone dares to run wild in this family, she will not hesitate to become a shrew and become notorious!

Shen's momentum made the second sister-in-law's mother lower her head involuntarily.

Mrs. Dingbeihou was also startled by her yelling, and she stood up and was about to get angry at her.

Only Bai Mingwei noticed the sadness and vicissitudes in his grandfather's eyes.

He hoped that at this time, others would not add insult to injury even if they stood by and watched.

But the behavior of Mrs. Dingbeihou and his second sister-in-law's mother hurt his heart after all.

The corpse of the person under the spring was not yet cold, but the grandson's daughter-in-law's family came to pick up the deceased's widow.

Even if they die, no one can give them a good death.

How can an old father bear such a thing?
Mrs. Dingbeihou was furious: "Ms. Shen, your mother didn't even dare to say these words to me, how dare you?!"

"enough."

Bai Weiyong's voice sounded weakly.

Everyone stopped talking, no one dared to say another word.

But before Bai Weiyong could finish speaking, the steward reported: "Prime Minister, except for the eldest young lady, the concubines of the other young ladies have come, saying they want to see the master."

Not all the seven young ladies of the Bai family were married from the capital.

But there are people coming to their families, and some of them may be relatives in Beijing instead of parents.

In just one day, everything came together.

Bai Weiyong smiled sadly, and his voice was much older and hoarse: "Let them all come in. Mingwei, write a letter of release from your wife, and your grandfather will seal it."

Since we can't share the hardships together, it's better to let them go.

Bai Ming nodded slightly and immediately ordered someone to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone. She wrote down the letters of release from her sisters-in-law one by one in the flower hall.

Shen's eyes turned red: "Grandpa!"

Bai Weiyong waved his hand: "Good boy, no need to say more."

Shen said no more, but turned her head and wiped the corners of her eyes.

My grandfather tried his best to keep these grandsons-in-law.

But he probably didn't expect that their natal family would not give him a chance to implement this plan.

After a while, several people from the sister-in-law's family were welcomed in.

Bai Weiyong stopped their greetings and said quietly: "Mingwei is writing a letter to let go of his wife, please wait a moment."

Everyone looked at each other in shock, and there was no room for the many prepared remarks.

So, they could only sit and wait.

However, they did not feel at ease. Instead, they showed guilt that they could not speak.

Only Mrs. Dingbei Hou showed a proud look on her face, wishing that everyone would know that she was the winner.

But at this moment, the six young ladies of the Bai family came to the flower hall one after another.

They were overjoyed to see their relatives.

But when Bai Weiyong stamped the release letter and asked Bai Mingwei to hand it over to everyone.

Yu Jiao was the first to tear up the wife release letter to pieces.
