2201 An opportunity to show off
After Gu Xin finished speaking, the dishes were almost served.
....
Before he picked up his chopsticks, white s.h.i.+rt sighed, ” Bai laosan is the biggest beneficiary. Unfortunately, he has lost too much.
Gu Xin nodded,’isn’t that so? He has lost his good son and his ident.i.ty. I’m afraid he will have to live in someone else’s arrangement in the future.”
“Xinxin, will Bai s.h.i.+jun be executed?” Zheng Wei asked.
Gu Xin thought for a while and said,”not necessarily, it depends on the princess Consort’s decision.” Bai s.h.i.+jun had killed three people, but at the moment, he was the best successor to the Bai family. Didn’t the princess Consort tell us not to disclose the murderer’s ident.i.ty to the public? she might have other arrangements! w.a.n.gfei’s methods are decisive, so she must have a way.”
“But according to great Zhou’s laws, murder should be executed according to the law!” Zheng Wei frowned.
Bai Yi looked at Zheng Wei in disgust.”You’re still a coroner, and you’re still from that kind of family. Do you really think that all the criminals will be dealt with according to the laws of the great Zhou? The Emperor had never seen Bai s.h.i.+jun before. It did not matter if Bai s.h.i.+jun died suddenly or was injured by the bandits on the way. As long as he died, the Bai family would have another grandson. As for where this grandson is from, we can go back and ask the sixth young master to make up a story. The sixth young master is quite capable.”
Zheng Wei looked at Bai Yi in surprise, not quite understanding his words.
Gu Xin explained in a low voice, ” I’m guessing that the princess Consort will send someone to take the blame. She’s also planning to go through the emperor’s side. She looks very confident. I just don’t know what she’s planning to do. I also feel that Bai s.h.i.+jun won’t die, and the one who will inherit the royal family’s t.i.tle in the end will definitely be Bai s.h.i.+jun.”
“Why?” Dong Xue couldn’t help but ask. Didn’t bai s.h.i.+jun kill His Royal Highness, the eldest young master Bai, and the second elder Bai? One was the princess Consort’s husband, one was the princess Consort’s son, and the other was the princess Consort’s grandson. Why would the princess Consort let him inherit the t.i.tle? Even though Bai s.h.i.+jun was originally the princess Consort’s grandson.”
Gu Xin didn’t expect Dong Xue to ask her that question. She was stunned for a moment before she replied, ” “Second white, I haven’t tested you for a long time. Why don’t you tell me?”
Just as second white was thinking about what to put in the first dish, he was suddenly called out by Gu Xin. He looked at her in confusion.
White s.h.i.+rt held his forehead and elbowed second white, ” “I’m asking you a question! Do you only know how to eat all day?”
He could see that third miss was intentionally letting that girl, Dongxue, talk to second white! This would also give second white a chance to show off.
Bai Yi was very pleased that Gu Xin really did what she said. She had only said it last night and she was already making preparations.
“Oh,” second white replied. Miss Dongxue, this … In my opinion, the princess Consort must hate Bai s.h.i.+jun. After all, he killed her husband, her son, and her grandson. However, the princess Consort was also very helpless! The t.i.tle of King of Donglin was hereditary. As long as their family didn’t rebel and the great Zhou Dynasty continued to exist, the t.i.tle of King of Donglin would be pa.s.sed down for generations. Based on the current male offspring of the Bai family, the third and fourth Bai brothers were useless. The second and fourth Bai brothers, Bai s.h.i.+lin and Bai s.h.i.+qi, were even less capable. As for Bai s.h.i.+jun, from the age of ten, he had investigated everything that the entire residence did not know about. Not only that, no one had found out about what he had done. Furthermore, Bai s.h.i.+jun is well-versed in both literature and martial arts, and is the most promising of the four generations of the Bai family.”
