Chapter 29: Persecution
Bai Mujin closed her eyes slightly, since this so-called father is so ignorant, then don't blame her for being too pushy, she bowed to her grandmother, and then turned to kowtow to her father, and said: " The daughter understands that her father and mother are deeply affectionate, and she must be reluctant to punish her mother and sister, and her father is right, it is all Chun'er's girl's fault, but it's a pity that she was killed like this, and today in the Guogong Mansion, that girl said a lot of things that shouldn't be said, saying that my mother was harsh on me and wanted to ruin my appearance, and many official wives were present.
The Lu family and Bai Shizu were shocked, what the Lu family was afraid of was the old lady of the Lu family, and what Bai Shizu was afraid of was being caught by political enemies, the most important thing for an official is the official reputation, the family house is restless, and it is rumored that the stepfamily treats the children left by the original spouse harshly, that is a crime of lax governance for him, the grandfather of the country!
The ancients said, self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, if the family is not peaceful, how can he talk about governing the country and the world, he suddenly glanced at his daughter meaningfully, is this still the eldest daughter who was only a promise in the past, and couldn't even say a decent word when he saw him?
He was worried about Lu and Bai Yunxi just now, but he didn't realize that from beginning to end, this daughter's performance was very good, and she was wronged, not only was she extremely calm, she didn't defend or panic, but she was able to peel off the cocoon and clear her name, and now she used such words to force herself to be punished.
Looking at the bright red fingerprints on her face, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, just now he did hit her indiscriminately, that was also very angry, if Prime Minister Lu knew about it, his mother-in-law who was protecting the calf would definitely not give up.
Thinking of this, Bai Shizu pushed away the Lu family, and said with a calm face: "What my mother said is reasonable, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, but although the Lu family and Xi'er are at fault, there is no big fault, and I hope that my mother will be light!"
The Lu family knew that it was irreparable this time, but since Bai Shizu said this, it meant that Old Madam Bai would not punish herself heavily, let alone take away her stewardship.
As long as she has the power in her hands, she will definitely have a chance to recover today's account, Bai Mujian, she really underestimated this girl in the past, and she was deceived by her pretending to be well-behaved and stupid for so many years, so that her wings were stiff and she dared to do right with herself!
She hatefully pulled her daughter to her knees and said, "Please punish the old lady!"
Old Madam Bai squinted her eyes slightly, looking at Bai Hibiscus with admiration, and at the same time she was a little vigilant, this granddaughter is not simple.
Lu was finally punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for one night, and asked her to copy the female ring a hundred times, while Bai Yunxi was once again grounded in his own Yunxiang Garden for a period of three months.
Bai Shizu flicked his sleeves and left angrily, and when he was about to leave, he glared at Bai Mujun with resentful eyes, and snorted coldly. Lu and Bai Yunxi were taken to receive the punishment.
Old Madam Bai raised her hand a little tiredly and said, "Jin'er should also get up, go back early to rest!"
Bai Mu Hibiscus knelt on the ground and said with a sincere and frightened face: "Jin'er has made a mistake, please forgive grandmother!"
Old Madam Bai was slightly surprised, and asked inexplicably, "What mistake have you made again? Today's matter has been clearly resolved, and it has nothing to do with you!"
Bai Mujin said with a look of self-reproach: "Jin'er is indeed at fault, she shouldn't be smart because she is not angry with her mother and sister's actions, and force her father to punish her two, but ...... But Jin'er is really heartbroken, I lost my mother since I was a child, I thought my mother was a good one, and I sincerely loved her, but she tried to harm me many times!"
"Hey...... Grandmother knows that you have been wronged, although it is a little wrong to persecute your father, but grandmother can understand you, get up, you are also tired, go back and rest!"
Bai Mu'er got up at this time, and said with a flattering smile: "Jin'er thanks grandmother for her favor, if it weren't for grandmother today, no matter how smart Jin'er is, I'm afraid she will be charged with maliciously framing her mother and sister!"
Old Madam Bai nodded, finally showed a kind smile, and said a few words of comfort before sending Bai Hibiscus away.
Mama Sun came over at this time and said, "The eldest lady has really changed her character!"
Old Madam Bai also nodded, she was so smart and witty, and she was not in danger, she really didn't look like the cowardly little girl in the past.
"Maybe she was forced out, there is such a stepmother and sister, my son is also an eccentric, if she is not smart, I don't know how many sins she will suffer, look at the little face is swollen, and the grandfather is very ruthless!"
Mama Sun also sighed with pity, and said: "Fortunately, the old lady is a charity, so she didn't let the eldest lady really be wronged, the old slave looked at the eldest lady as a manufacturable material, and now at this time, the old lady has to make plans early!"
Old Madam Bai showed a hint of joy in her eyes, nodded to Grandma Sun, and said: "You still know my mind best, my grandfather is not very promising, it is not easy to keep the title, and the Lu family is not worry-free, the Bai family can't make mistakes in my hands, if I can go to the next level, then I can meet my husband under Jiuquan after a hundred years!"
"With the wisdom and talent of the old lady, it is not difficult to make the Bai family go further, and now the eldest lady is also thirteen years old, and she will be able to do it in a few years!" said Mama Sun while rubbing her shoulders for the old lady Bai.
Old Madam Bai nodded, with a smug look on her face, the daughter of the Bai family, the greatest value is to seek benefits for the family, and only a smart daughter can seek the greatest benefits.
Bai Muhibiscus led the mandarin duck and magpie back to his house, dismissed the idlers and others, and then breathed a sigh of relief, the mandarin duck and the magpie immediately burst into tears, and said with palpitations: "Miss, today is really frightening to the slaves and maids, if it weren't for the wit of the young lady, how much of a crime would have been suffered today!"
"Yes, Miss, you see that half of your face is swollen and tall, I'll go get the medicine to help you wipe it!" The magpie said distressedly, and hurriedly went to the cabinet to get the medicine.
Bai Mujin smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay with this little injury, if it weren't for this, where would my grandmother insist on punishing Lu and Bai Yunxi, although the punishment is too light, it's better than letting them get out!"
The mandarin duck pouted disapprovingly, and said: "In the future, Miss can't put herself in danger anymore, if Miss has grievances, let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old lady will definitely call the shots for Miss!"
Bai Muhibi knew what she meant, but shook his head and said: "After all, my surname is Bai, no matter how much my grandmother feels sorry for me, she can't take care of me all the time, and the Bai family is now in the hands of the Lu family, if she can't be defeated, today's events will only continue to happen, and I can't be so lucky every time!"
The mandarin duck seemed to have an understanding, with a sad face, and said resentfully: "Lu Erniang is really a heartless child, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is from the lowest background, but the old lady treats her well, and when the lady is still there, she also takes care of her very much, how do you know that she is so vicious, she is really a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed!"
Bai Mujin showed a sneer and said, "What's strange, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, I'm afraid she is too jealous of her mother, so she will try to harm us!"
"Miss, we must go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and inform the Prime Minister and the old lady of this matter, according to the old lady's temper, we will definitely not let Lu Erniang go!" The magpie came over and said angrily.
Bai Mujian shook his head and said: "It's not time to let my grandmother make a move, Chun'er is already dead, the Lu family is now a serious duchess, there is not enough evidence, it is still not appropriate to act rashly, otherwise it will only make the Lu family's actions more secretive, and it will be us who will be harmed at that time!"
When the mandarin duck heard this, she also nodded, but said very embarrassedly: "Then can you just let her get away with it?" Miss has suffered such a big grievance in the Ningguo Mansion, and there is no one who is willing to be the master for you, the slave is really angry!"
"My good mandarin duck, don't you and the magpie help me......?" Don't be angry, we are going to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but not to complain, but to ask for someone, you look at Grandma Sun next to your grandmother, because she is there, how much effort has been saved by grandmother's work, if I can also have such a medical, thoughtful, experienced, and loyal grandmother around me, it will be much more convenient to do things!"
The mandarin duck and the magpie were also happy, and said in unison: "Miss is reasonable!"
As he was talking, he heard someone shouting outside: "Miss, the young master has come to see you!"
Bai Muchen glanced at the mandarin duck, and the mandarin duck hurriedly went out to greet him, Bai Muchen walked in with a very ugly face, and when he saw Bai Hibiscus, his eyes were red, and he said, "Sister...... Chen'er heard that you were wronged, and blamed me for not being there, no one was protecting you!"
Bai Mujian's heart was astringent, and he felt that his throat was a little blocked, but he forced himself to endure it, but instead comforted him with a smile and said: "Sister is fine, don't you see that I'm fine?
"You see that your face is so swollen and you say it's okay, they are to blame for their punishment, I still think their punishment is too light, hum!" Bai Muchen said angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with the Lu family and Bai Yunxi.
Bai Mujin didn't expect Bai Muchen to have such a deep resentment towards Lu's mother and son, it seems that she was the only stupid person before, and her younger brother has never been stupid.
Bai Mujin was relieved and said: "If it weren't for the injury, I'm afraid they would have escaped even this punishment now, what kind of person my father is, you and I know it in our hearts, don't worry, my sister knows how to protect herself, you just have to study hard, don't worry about these things in the back house!"
"No, I've grown up, I must not watch my sister be wronged, I will protect my sister!" Bai Muchen's immature face was as firm as it had never been.
Bai Muhibiscus felt a slight warmth in her heart, Mu Chen's current appearance was really similar to her brother Xun, and her nephew was like an uncle, so she thought it was like this, right? In her previous life, she was too weak to even protect her own children, but she was also glad that Brother Xun followed her, otherwise she would have suffered many sins if she left him alone in that wolf den.
She smiled slightly, showing a touched look, and said: "Brother Chen'er has grown up, then you should understand that men are ambitious in all directions, you have a future, naturally no one dares to bully me anymore!"
Bai Muchen seemed to understand something but secretly hated his current weakness, if he was a little older, then he would not let his sister suffer such humiliation, he clenched his small fists, and secretly swore in his heart that one day he would become stronger.
"I understand, sister, does your face hurt? Is it okay for Chen'er to give you medicine?" Bai Muchen leaned over in distress, looked at the red and swollen face, and couldn't wait to go to his father to theorize now.
Bai Mujin nodded, and let Bai Muchen clumsily and carefully rub the medicine for himself, and the cool ointment applied to his face did relieve some of the hot pain.
Sooner or later, she will get this slap back, even if that person is her father.
