"Cough …"Looking at the shy Bai Qingyan, Murong Jinhong"s mind stirred and he awkwardly coughed, "Your mother is pregnant now, so Royal Father can"t let her go for now."
Bai Qingyan"s face flushed red as she stared at Murong Jinhong.
This guy still had the nerve to say that. If not for him always talking nonsense with Yun Er, how would Yun Er know about this?
Murong Yuyun immediately jumped in joy, "That"s great, Cousin Li"er and I still want to take her out for fun."
Bai Qingyan pinched Murong Yuyun"s little face in annoyance and amus.e.m.e.nt, "Oh you, you only know how to play all day, what level have you reached in your spirit skills?"
The moment he mentioned Spirit Arts, Murong Yuyun"s small face drooped down, he lowered his head and muttered: "Second Level."
"Why is it still at the second level? Are you still practicing?" Bai Qingyan frowned in dissatisfaction.
Murong Yuyun lowered her head and did not speak.
Bai Qingyan"s face turned cold, and was about to admonish again.
"Yun Er is still young, there"s no rush." Murong Jinhong secretly hid Murong Yuyun behind his back.
Bai Qingyan immediately stared at him, "What"s not young? When I was her age, I was already at the fourth stage and Ling Er was already at the fifth stage when she was her age … "
pouted his lips unhappily as he listened to the long lecture that was like a coc.o.o.n in one"s ears.
Murong Jinhong then secretly waved towards Murong Yuyun who was behind him.
Seeing Murong Jinhong"s gentle waving hand, Murong Yuyun"s eyes lit up. He immediately pulled Bai Li"s hand and moved his lips soundlessly, "Cousin Li"er, let"s go out."
Bai Li smiled, held onto Murong Yuyun"s small hand, and then quietly retreated.
She also wanted to leave, but she couldn"t bear to see her aunt and uncle being so despicable.
His aunt and uncle"s relations.h.i.+p was really good. Although his uncle was a prince, he didn"t have any of the bad habits of those royalty, especially the clean backyard. Other than his aunt, he didn"t have any other concubines, nor did he have a single concubine.
In ancient times, there weren"t many men who were able to spoil a single person like this, not to mention that their uncle was a prince.
It was said that her uncle had been personally selected by father for her aunt, and it seemed like father had good taste, only that Zhao Family was still father"s stain in the end, but she would correct her father"s name tomorrow and let everyone clearly see the face of Zhao Family and that person.
After talking for a long time, Bai Qingyan finally realised that Bai Li and Bai Li had disappeared.
"It"s all your fault." Unable to find Murong Yuyun, Bai Qingyan could only glare at him.
"Yes, yes, yes, it"s all my fault."
Murong Jinhong nodded his head as he embraced Bai Qingyan in his arms, "Ol "Three has not messed with you yet …"
Outside, Murong Yuyun slumped her shoulders and sat on the doorstep as she sighed and held her face.
"What happened?" Seeing that Murong Yuyun was unhappy, Bai Li escorted her to the doorstep.
"Cousin Li"er, don"t you think I"m too stupid? It"s been a year and I still haven"t broken through to the second stage." Murong Yuyun pouted her small mouth and looked at Bai Li. Her small eyes were full of grief.
Bai Li smirked, "If you"re so stupid, then wouldn"t others become idiots?"
She already had the second stage of Red Spirit Realm at the age of ten, so compared to an ordinary child, her talent was already considered extremely high. That Xu Sihui was even fifteen, but wasn"t she still only at the third stage?
"Sometimes, if you"re too anxious, it might be counterproductive. You might as well calm your heart and treat it as a normal thing. Perhaps, the result would be different."
Bai Li lovingly rubbed Murong Yuyun"s little head.
It wasn"t that she wasn"t working hard, but that she was working too hard. The talent of her family was too great, giving this child too much pressure.
Murong Yuyun looked at Bai Li in a daze.
Bai Mansion, Pine Crane Garden.
The old lady sat on the main seat, the lower seat on the left was the Third Wife and the Zhao Family, the lower seat on the right were the two Madame, and Bai Ruoyu and Bai Ruxuan were seated beside the old lady.
After hearing Bai Ruxuan say a few funny things, the old lady looked at the Third Wife in a good mood.
"Is everything ready for the celebration tomorrow?"
Hearing that, Third Wife immediately laughed, "Don"t worry old lady, my wife has already prepared everything, tomorrow"s celebration will definitely be held beautifully."
With regards to this celebration feast, Third Wife was still rather active. It wasn"t because she was happy for Zhao Family and Bai Ruoyu, but because the celebration feast was given to her. With so much oil and water gathered, as well as with dignity, Third Wife was naturally happy to do it.
"Yes." The old lady nodded in satisfaction.
It was because when Bai Lier killed the servant girls and belittled the Zhao Family, she made the latter feel that Bai Lier was a threat. That was why she was so interested in holding a celebration for the both of them.
First, the increase in the status of the Zhao Family and Bai Ruoyu could suppress Bai Lier and bring back the face she had lost previously, as well as the prestige she had lost. Secondly, she wanted to make use of this celebration to let the n.o.ble women of the Imperial City see who the true mistress of the General"s Estate was.
Thinking about Bai Lier, old lady raised his eyes and looked towards Third Wife, "Did that brat say that he wanted to come back?"
Third Wife was startled, then gently shook her head.
After Bai Lier became clear-headed, she became well-behaved. old lady had sent people over to invite her again and again, but she would only accept gifts and never mention about returning to her residence. I"m afraid that the little girl from old lady would have already thought of this.
old lady"s expression instantly turned cold. "We"ll send someone to invite her later. Tomorrow is her mother"s and sister"s celebration. What"s wrong with her not coming back?"
When he heard the words "mother and sister" from the old Madame, the Zhao Family immediately sat up straight.
The Queen finally admitted her ident.i.ty, and she no longer had to look at her with disdain. Who asked her to have a t.i.tle, while they didn"t?
Seeing Zhao Family"s c.o.c.ky expression, the lips of the two Madame curled up into a disdainful sneer.
old lady was truly sn.o.bbish, seeing that Queen thought highly of the two girls, the status of the two girls immediately became like that of the five girls. Furthermore, this Zhao Family didn"t even know why he was sealed, yet was still able to act in such a manner.
"Yes." Third Wife agreed, but felt troubled in her heart.
Unlike the Bai Mansion, it was not easy to get into the Prince Su"s Mansion, even if one wanted to give Bai Lier a gift. At most, one could only send a message and could not even meet face to face.
Bai Ruoyu"s lips curled up in an evil smile.
Bai Lier did not want to return because he knew that she had been conferred the t.i.tle of County Lord. She really wanted to see the look of envy on her face when she heard the news.
The clear eyes of the two Madame flashed lightly. The reason they were so insistent on inviting the young miss back was firstly because of their reputation of being kind. Secondly, he also wanted to humiliate Bai Lier.
Even after my concubine and my concubine received the t.i.tle, a proper direct daughter of the house like Eldest Young Miss did not have anything at all.
But since the old lady had thought about it, he had to be willing to accept the attack. The current Bai Lier was no longer the Bai Lier of the past, and would probably not be manipulated like how she was in the past.
Just as everyone was thinking about different things, Chun Xi walked in and bowed as he reported.
"Old Madame, the accountant requests an audience."
Mr. Clerk?
The old lady frowned and raised his hand in confusion, "Let him in."
"Yes."
Chun Xi bowed and left, and very quickly brought the accountant in.
Seeing the old lady on the main seat, the accountant immediately bowed.
"Greetings to the old Madame."
"No need for formalities."
The old lady frowned, "Mr Liu, you suddenly came to see me, what urgent matter do you have?"
The accountant bowed stiffly and reported, "It"s like this. The young miss has bought something in the Treasure Pavilion and it is stamped with the official seal of the General"s Estate. Now, the Treasure Pavilion"s servants have come to take the silver."
The old lady frowned, how did the seal of the General"s Estate end up in Bai Lier"s hands? Could it be that the old man had secretly given it to her?
She had wanted that official seal for a long time. Every time she asked this old man about it, the old man would pretend to be a fool. She didn"t expect him to give it to that crazy girl. What did he mean? Could it be that he wanted that crazy girl to inherit the General"s Estate?
old lady gripped the buddhist beads tightly, his heart was filled with sorrow.
She had already been married to the Bai Mansion for more than forty years, and had already given birth to children for him.
The gaze of the two Madame was deep. The old gramps actually gave the seal to the eldest miss, it seems that the lordmaster intends to let the main branch inherit the General"s Estate.
It wasn"t that she hadn"t thought about the Second House"s struggle for power, but after so many years, she had finally seen through it. Although Second and Third Master were her own people, the treatment they received was completely different.
It could not be blamed on the old lady, the Second Master had a soft temper and did not have a high cultivation, he was only at the sixth rank when he was in his forties. San Ye was different. He was already a fourth rank medium general at such a young age. Even though his cultivation couldn"t compare to San Ye"s, it wasn"t bad among his peers.
That was why the old lady had placed all of his attention on Master San. It was probably the Third House that cared about official matters the most.
The two Madame s turned to look at Third Wife and saw her ugly expression.
Third Wife held the handkerchief tightly, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
His big brother had already been dead for so many years, yet he did not leave behind any male heirs. That Bai Lier was also a fool, to actually leave his official seal with Bai Lier, what exactly did he mean by that?
Zhao Family and Bai Ruoyu looked at each other. They already knew that grandfather doted on Bai Lier, but they didn"t think that he would actually want to give the entire General"s Estate to her.
Bai Ruoyu clenched her fists in jealousy. They were both her father"s daughters, why was there such a difference in treatment?
"Old Madame?"
Seeing that the old lady was quiet for a long time, the accountant became even more anxious.
old lady came back to reality as he glared at the accountant.
"It"s fine if they come to take it, what are they reporting on such a small matter?"
Hearing the displeased and imposing voice, the bookkeeper"s body trembled. He immediately lowered his eyes and said nervously, "Yes, it"s because there"s too much silver taels. This old servant really can"t make a decision …"
When old lady heard this, he became even angrier and immediately frowned, "How much silver did she use?"
"Four … four hundred thousand …"
The accountant kept his head down, cold sweat rolling down his forehead.
Upon hearing the words "four hundred thousand taels", everyone was stupefied.
