Chapter 3

In Yongguo Mansion, the main room of Ninghui Courtyard where the old lady lived, Bai Mengying, the sixth son of the Bai family, was asking the old lady Bai Wangshi with righteous indignation.

"Grandmother, what do you mean? Little Seventh Sister is the legitimate daughter of the Bai family. She has been away from home for many years and returns today. The White House should have opened the front door wide, and the servants went out to greet her. This is a symbol of the status of a legitimate daughter.

Sun Er specially sent people back to the mansion to make arrangements, why did Xiao Qimei not only see no servants in the mansion when she arrived outside the mansion gate, she didn't even open the front door?

In the Great Zhao Dynasty, grandfathers were generally called Daddy or Weng Weng, while grandmothers were called Damama or Grandma.

From the relatives of the emperor to the traffickers and pawns, most of them are called like this, which is very down-to-earth.

Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, this old Mrs. Bai is not allowed to call her mother-in-law by her grandson.

The main reason is that the Bai Wang family is not the original wife of the late old Duke, but a stepmother.

The current Duke of Yongguo and the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council, Bai Zongzheng, were born to the old Duke's original spouse. The Bai Wang family is not close to Bai Zongzheng, so naturally he doesn't like the more intimate title of mother-in-law for Bai Zongzheng's children.

The old lady Bai Wangshi is actually not too old, only one year older than Bai Zongzheng.

She is pampered and well-maintained all day long, and she loves brightly colored clothes, and her hair is full of pearls and emeralds, so she looks like a woman in her forties, very young.

It's just that the slightly sunken temples, together with the slanted eyebrows and the corners of the eyes, and the thin lips, on the whole look so sharp, it's not easy to get along with it at first glance.

"Liulang, you are a dignified son of the Duke's Mansion, so you don't know the rules? Are you allowed to shout in front of the elders?"

Before Old Madam Bai could speak, a woman in a fine attire next to her spoke first.

The person who spoke was Mrs. Wu, the wife of Mrs. Bai's own son, Bai Zongmin, and also Mrs. Bai's niece.

After the Bai Wang family married the old Duke, they only gave birth to a son, Bai Zongmin. When Bai Zongmin became an adult, the Bai Wang family made the decision to marry in the niece of her mother's family to be her daughter-in-law.

As the old lady's niece, Mrs. Bai Wu has been loved and valued by the old lady since she married into the White Mansion. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law joined forces to fight against the big house. What happened today was deliberately done by the two.

When Bai Mengying saw Second Aunt's sour and mean face, she felt disgusted in her heart.

Over the years, the second room relied on the support of the old lady, and there were many moths that caused trouble to the first room.

But my father valued affection, and couldn't bear to separate from the second bedroom, and the house couldn't stop making trouble.

"Is the second aunt talking to my nephew about the rules at this moment? The little nephew wants to ask, if the daughter of the dignified Duke's mansion returns, she doesn't even open the front door, leaving only the corner door. Is this in compliance with the rules?"

Bai Mengying was full of anger, who cares who the person in front of her is?
He only knows one thing, whoever makes his sister wronged, he will never make that person feel better.

Bai Wushi was choked by her nephew's words, she was so angry that she rubbed the handkerchief in her hand vigorously, and said through gritted teeth.

"Liu Lang, you are young and ignorant, and Second Aunt doesn't care about you.

You keep talking about the first daughter of the White Mansion, so the outsider is really Qiniang, the first daughter of our Duke's Mansion? "Bai Wu curled her lips.

"Who doesn't know this in Lin'an City? When Bai Qiniang was five years old, she went out and encountered a pack of wolves, and her whereabouts are unknown.

That barren mountain met a pack of wolves. Didn't a five-year-old girl have all the bones gnawed by wolves long ago?How is it possible to be alive?

That lynx beast outside who doesn't know where came here to pretend to be Qiniang, do you really believe it? "Bai Wushi had a contemptuous expression when he spoke, and he almost rolled his eyes.

"I just looked at you father and son, looking for Qiniang is almost crazy, so I dare to impersonate.

But you are all blinded, you can't tell that it's an impostor, and you really take this wild girl who came out of nowhere as the first daughter of the White House.

You don't go out to inquire about it, how has the White House been discussed in Lin'an City these days?
Everyone thinks that the people in our house are fools, and they are so easily fooled. "

"Liulang, your grandmother and I have good intentions, the girl's origin is unknown, if she is not safe, she is a spy sent by the enemy country, how can she let her in at will?
If today she is allowed to enter the White Mansion as a daughter-in-law, and if she is found out to be not Qiniang in the future, where will the Duke of Yongguo's face be put?
Your temper is too violent, you don't think about the consequences when you do things, luckily the old lady and I are in the mansion, otherwise the White Mansion might become the laughing stock of Lin'an City this time. "

Bai Wu's tone was all for the good of the White House, as if she really had no selfish intentions for the sake of the White House.

Bringing up the reason why the seventh sister went missing back then, Bai Liulang felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Back then, Dad was still guarding the border and hadn't returned to Beijing for three years. The younger ones clamored to see Dad.

Seeing that they were arguing all day long, and the old lady and the second room in the house were all making noise, A Niang was also upset, so she led Shiro, Goro, Liulang, and Qiniang to the border to visit relatives.

Who would have imagined that before they reached the border, they would encounter a pack of wolves on the way, and even though they were protected by the guards of the manor, the children were still dispersed.

After the guards desperately killed the pack of wolves, everyone was shocked to find that Qiniang, the youngest in the White Mansion, had disappeared.

Bai Qiniang was only five years old at the time, how could she survive the attack of wolves?
However, a group of guards and people from the local government jointly searched for it, and searched dozens of miles around, but there was no clue at all.

Bai Zongzheng and his wife Meng Shi had six sons and only this one daughter was held in the palm of his hand like a jewel like a treasure and loved and pampered.

Bai Qiniang was gone, Meng missed her daughter day and night, and was frightened by wolves. After returning to Beijing, she fell ill and died of illness a few months later.

Thinking of the past, Bai Liulang became more and more resentful.

When A Niang returned to Beijing, the two of them told A Niang that Seventh Sister was dead and could not be found.

A Niang was heartbroken and painful at the loss of her beloved daughter, but she was stimulated by the words of these two people, and she became lingering and sick.

A Niang died of illness, and my father is far away at the border. There are only a few young children in the house, and they cannot be left alone.

So my dad wrote to entrust the old lady and Wu Shi of the second room with all the matters in the house, hoping that they can take good care of the young children of the big room.

When Bai Liulang thought of the hardships his brothers suffered in those years, he felt waves of hatred welling up from the bottom of his heart.

If the elder brother hadn't married his sister-in-law in time, and the sister-in-law was shrewd and aggressive, they didn't know how they would be tortured.

Now that they have exhausted all their efforts and finally found Xiao Qimei, everyone has been taken outside the gate of the house, and they still want to make trouble, it is really abominable.
