Madam Meng was overjoyed. She looked at Bai Yu’er and immediately took down the vase and placed it at her feet. “Thank you, Lord!”
The magistrate of Chengtian Manor frowned slightly before relaxing. “You’re welcome.”
When Bai Xianyu arrived, it was already late in the morning. She was wearing an exquisite fox fur coat, and her hair was decorated with emerald pearls, accentuating her fair and exquisite face.
A familiar family was already standing in front of the hall. Bai Xianyu stood quite far away from them.
As soon as she arrived, Old Madam started to cry. Her fingers trembled as she said, “Lord, it’s this heartless ingrate. I worked hard to raise her until she was so old. Now that I’m old and can’t walk anymore, she started to mistreat me and even forced me out of the residence. What can 1 do with my old bones? She’s taking my life!”
Bai Xianyu glanced at Green Pearl. Green Pearl took out the things she had prepared and coughed slightly. “Lord, you’re right. I didn’t force her, but she voluntarily left our General’s Manor to go to Bai Yuantai’s house. She was the one who affixed her fingerprint on this family genealogy book. There is also the paperwork with the fingerprint she had affixed personally.”
The magistrate of Chengtian Manor personally went down to pick them up and looked at them with his hands behind his back. “Is this true?”
It was not an exaggeration to say that the content on it was decisive. They would not interact with each other whether dead or alive.
Bai Yuantai said, “It’s true, but it was Bai Xianyu who played tricks and angered my mother into affixing her fingerprint!”
“Yes, we can all testify!”
Bai Xianyu glanced at them. “Lord, Bai Yuantai is full of lies. If he hadn’t sowed discord between me and Grandmother, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have come to this point. Back then, 1 tried to persuade them with kind words, but they didn’t listen and insisted on leaving. And now, they wanted to come back. My place is not where they can come and go as they please.”
The magistrate of Chengtian Manor glanced at Bai Yuantai and the others, then at Bai Xianyu and frowned in deep thought.
Bai Yu’er saw that something was wrong and immediately sniffed hard, pretending to be weak and pitiful.
“Your Excellency, my cousin had never liked my grandmother in the past. She would beat and scold her every day and kick her if she disagreed with her. If not for this, why would my grandmother want to leave with my father? The General’s Manor is extremely wealthy. Wouldn’t it be nice for her to enjoy her old age there? We really couldn’t stand it anymore and said a few words of justice, but in my cousin’s words, it’s us who are sowing discord! Is there still law in this world?!” freewebnove(l)
When the magistrate of the Chengtian Manor heard this, his frown deepened, as if he felt that what Bai Yu’er said made sense.
Bai Xianyu smirked coldly. Since she liked to pretend to be weak, let’s see who was better at it.
“My Lord.”
The magistrate of the Chengtian Manor and the other officers turned their heads and were stunned.
The girl in the snow-white fox fur coat had long hair, and her fair and rosy face was delicate. Her jade-like hands covered her delicate lips, and her almond-shaped eyes were slightly closed. Because of her weak constitution, she looked even more fragile like porcelain. When she looked at someone, her eyes were watery and feeble.
Bai Yu’er took a look and dug her nails into her flesh. “Lord, she’s pretending!”
The magistrate of the Chengtian Manor looked at her coldly. “Fifth Miss Bai is now a great contributor. She became so weak only because she had blocked an arrow for Prince Daqing!”
Bai Yu’er gritted her teeth and remained silent.
Bai Xianyu held Green Pearl’s hand and said, “Lord, Bai Yu’er just said that I had beaten and kicked her grandmother and was harsh to her. Then why are they returning to our General’s Manor now?”
Bai Yu’er did not think too much about it just now. Hearing her question, she was immediately at a loss for words.
Mdm Meng glared at Bai Xianyu. Even if they could not go back, Old Madam had to return to the General’s Manor. As long as there was life, there was hope!
As long as Old Madam was in the residence, they would still have plenty of benefits in the future!
“As her granddaughter, you should have the responsibility to take care of my mother! You can’t escape. Are you going to abandon your family?!”
“That’s right!” Bai Yu’er echoed, “My grandmother is also your grandmother. We just want to help her find a good place to spend her later years. After this matter, I don’t think you dare to treat my grandmother like that anymore!”
Bai Xianyu chuckled. “Then it sounds like all of you don’t have any other requests. You’re all being filial.”
“Yes!”
“Sure.”
Everyone was stunned and then ecstatic.
Bai Xianyu continued, “It’s not impossible to let her return, but she has to completely sever ties with all of you. You can’t appear in my residence anymore. Otherwise… for all the favor you have received from the General’s Manor all these years, you’ll have to pay back with one tael of silver by one tael of silver. If you don’t pay back, I’ll tell my Third Brother and ask him to entrust the Court of Judicial Review to personally oversee this.”
Once the matter got into the Court of Judicial Review, it would no longer be a simple case.
They might even go to jail!
Bai Yuantai was stunned.
Old Madam, Bai Yu’er, and the others were also stunned. Now, the situation had fallen into a deadlock.
If Old Madam were to return to the General’s Manor, then based on Bai Xianyu’s character, she would definitely do as she said and not let Old Madam contact them. Then, what difference would it make to them whether she went back or not?!
They would not be able to get any benefits!
If she did not go back, but this was the court, if Old Madam chose not to go back,
then she would really not be able to go back!
