Chapter 70: Treat all equally
As soon as I walked into Tangli Garden, the atmosphere became tense, it was very quiet inside, no one's noise and crying, Bai Mujin took Bai Muchen's hand and walked in slowly, his posture was natural and generous, without the slightest hesitation and uneasiness.
In the face of everyone present, whether they were indifferent, angry, resentful, or mocking for the show, she straightened her back and bowed to her elders in a proper manner.
Bai Muchen also followed Bai Muhibiscus to salute, and the etiquette of the two of them was excellent, without the slightest mistake, and they still had just the right smile on their faces.
Bai Shizu slammed the cup in his hand and shouted: "Evil barrier, kneel down for me!"
Bai Muchen was so shocked that he leaned back, but was supported by Bai Muhibiscus and patted him lightly on the back, as if to comfort him. Bai Muchen thought of what Bai Mujin said when he came, and suddenly settled down, he promised his sister that no matter what happened, he would believe her.
Bai Muhibiscus looked at Bai Shizu and asked in surprise: "Father, I don't know what mistake we made, you want me and my younger brother to kneel, although there is nothing wrong with kneeling to my parents and elders, but seeing my father like this, it seems that I am very angry, I don't know why?"
Bai Shizu looked at Bai Mujian's innocent expression, and felt that he had mistaken this daughter before, but he didn't know that she was so scheming and so vicious.
"You still dare to say that you don't know, I see that your sister and brother are hiding in the room, you must have discussed how to deceive me, right?" Bai Shizu said sharply.
Bai Mujin frowned slightly, and then suddenly said: "It turns out that what my father said is what happened to Chen'er and Xuan'er in the school today? Actually, I'm also confused, and what Chen'er said when he came back is not very clear, and I can't believe his words, so I also want to hear what Brother Xuan'er said!"
Bai Mujin said politely and politely, and she didn't mean to favor Bai Muchen at all, so that the old lady Bai who was watching on the side was a little surprised, she was not a fool, but today's things were very strange.
No matter how stupid Bai Gaoxuan is, he will not bring that kind of lewd and chaotic thing into the hall, when this kind of thing happens, someone must be making trouble behind his back, and the Lu family in this mansion is the most difficult to get by, and there are only Bai Mu Hibiscus sisters and brothers, she also has to suspect that Bai Mu Hibiscus did it, after all, after so many things, Bai Mu Hibiscus's scheming methods, she also saw something.
"What else can I say, you have bad intentions and want to frame Xuan'er, where did he provoke you? As the eldest sister and eldest brother, you don't know how to love your younger brother, and you even try to harm you, and your mind is also a little vicious!" Bai Shizu's face was red and his neck was thick, these days he still felt that Bai Mujin and Bai Muchen had made some progress, but the growth was all focused on harming people.
Hearing this, Lu Shi rubbed his eyes and choked up: "Jin'er, Chen'er, I ask myself if I treat you well, I have never treated you badly, and I care for you no less than Xuan'er and Xi'er, as a mother, I have a clear conscience, but ...... Why do you have to work hard again and again, Xi'er has already entered the family temple, and you are still unwilling to let Xuan'er go, I really don't understand, why?"
Bai Gaoxuan saw Lu crying, and also cried, hugged Lu's arm, and said pitifully: "Mother, don't be sad, you cry, Xuan'er is so sad......!"
"My poor boy, do you know how much this incident has hurt you? If you are ordered to drop out of school, which school will dare to accept you in the future, the notoriety of prodigal and shameless will follow you for the rest of your life, and your life will be ruined...... How can I not be concerned, how can I not cry?" Lu hugged Bai Gaoxuan, crying with blurred tears, this sadness was real.
She knew that if this matter couldn't be good, Bai Gaoxuan would really have to bear this bad reputation for the rest of his life, how could she let her son ruin his life?
Bai Shizu saw her mother and son hugging her head and crying, and her heart also hurt, Bai Gaoxuan was his favorite child, if this life was ruined like this, he would be unbearable!
So he glared at Bai Mujin and Bai Muchen with angry eyes, eager to tear them apart, and said: "Can you admit your mistakes? If you admit it now, for the sake of father and son, I can just expel you from the house, if you don't admit your mistakes, then don't blame me for ignoring my flesh and blood!"
Bai Muchen looked at his father in shock, he never thought that his father had already convicted them, and even in his opinion, the lightest punishment was to be expelled from the house, if it was heavy, wouldn't it cost them the lives of their sister and brother?
Bai Mujin was obviously not as surprised as Bai Muchen, in her opinion, Bai Shizu was such a person, and it was normal for him to say such things. For him, Bai Muchen and her are just dispensable, only Bai Gaoxuan and Bai Yunxi are his children.
Bai Mujin gently shook Bai Muchen's hand, looked at him with a gentle smile in his eyes, as if he wanted to give him a little comfort, Bai Muchen's eyes were red, he still felt that his father also had family affection for them until a second ago, but now he suddenly understood that no matter how good he was and how filial his sister was, he couldn't compare to the status of those two sisters and brothers in Bai Shizu's heart.
lowered his eyes bitterly and covered up all his injuries, from now on, he would never regard Bai Shizu as a father, a person who sentenced them to death without understanding the facts, and even wanted to expel them from the house, how could it be a father's words?
Old Madam Bai also frowned, Bai Shizu's words were a little too much, even if Bai Mujin and Bai Muchen made a mistake, they would not be so ruthless.
She was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Shizu, this matter is still inconclusive, don't talk too much, Jin'er and Chen'er are also your children!"
Bai Shizu glanced at his mother, clearly dissatisfied with her words, and said in a sullen voice: "Mother, such a vicious child, I Bai Shizu can't afford it, and we can't afford Ningguo Mansion either, my son knows that his mother is kind-hearted, but for the sake of the peace of Guogong Mansion, I must not tolerate them, and this matter will be handed over to my son!"
One sentence blocked Mrs. Bai back, he is the head of the Bai family, this kind of major matter related to the reputation of the family, even if it is his mother, he will not allow her to interfere.
Old Madam Bai was dumbfounded, but in front of so many people, she couldn't save Bai Shizu's face, so she had to shut up in a sneer. What I thought in my heart was that Bai Mujian was too suspicious in this matter, if she had the intention to frame Bai Gaoxuan, then she really couldn't be tolerated, the Bai family's heirs and reputation were the most important, if Bai Mujian dared to harm her grandson, it would be unforgivable.
So she sat quietly in the middle again, acting as a silent spectator. The reason why I said that sentence just now is just that if Bai Hibiscus proves her innocence, she, as a grandmother, will say something for her, so as not to hurt the feelings of her grandchildren.
Bai Mu Hibiscus watched her grandmother's expression change, her heart was slightly cold, she had thought for a moment to treat this grandmother sincerely, after all, most of the time, she was also on her side, even if it was only because of the same interests.
can get along for a long time, and there is some affection, but now, this little affection is gone, and her grandmother only has her own interests in her heart, and she has never had those ridiculous family affections.
Seeing that his mother didn't speak, Bai Shizu became more determined to deal with Bai Mujin and Bai Muchen's opposite, and said angrily: "Give you one last chance, do you recognize it or not?"
"Father, what kind of guilt do you want us to confess? Even if the government tries the case, there should be a certified and physical evidence before we can be convicted, and my father may convince Jin'er and Chen'er?" Bai Mu Hibiscus asked indifferently, without strong emotions, as if he was stating something insignificant.
Bai Shizu squinted his eyes, and he was almost irrational at Bai Hibiscus's unrepentant attitude, and he laughed angrily: "Haha...... Okay, yes, it's really my good daughter, with such sharp teeth and sharp mouth, you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, you have to force me to kill you before you stop, right?"
"Why is my father so angry, you said that Chen'er and I framed Brother Xuan, so Jin'er dared to ask, if the situation is the opposite, it is Brother Xuan who framed people, will my father kill his relatives in the same righteousness, and want to drive Brother Xuan out of the house, or kill him?" Bai Muhibiscus asked with a little doubt and contempt.
The light that bloomed in his eyes made Bai Shizu feel cold, as if before, there was also a time when Bai Muhibi looked at him with such eyes, which made him unconsciously have a trace of fear.
It didn't seem to be a human eye, but what kind of terrifying thing was buried in the dark eyes of the abyss, he couldn't tell, but he subconsciously avoided Bai Hibiscus's direct gaze.
Bai Shizu still retained his dignity as a father, and scolded angrily: "This is a child, what do you say to your father? What about the humility in your eyes? Just by this point, I can expel you from the house, and my Bai family can't tolerate unworthy descendants like you!"
Bai Muhibiscus didn't seem to know what she was afraid of, she still stood there lightly, looked at Bai Shizu, and said in a calm voice: "My daughter doesn't think that my words are inferior, I'm just asking for a fact, if my father can really treat everyone equally, then my father can give Jin'er and Xuan'er a conclusive crime of framing my younger brother, and I am willing to accept any punishment, including being killed by you!"
"Hmph, don't think that if you say this, I will spare you, as the head of the Ningguo Mansion, you are naturally equal and impartial!" Bai Shizu said indignantly.
Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled and said, "In this way, then Jin'er can rest assured, my father is so fair and selfless, and he will definitely not wronged me and Chen'er, so I ask my father to show evidence to prove that Brother Xuan and I have done something that is not allowed to the world!"
Hearing this, the Lu family and Bai Gaoxuan were secretly happy in their hearts, it was not easy to ask for evidence, if she didn't have evidence to Bai Shizu, how could she dare to convict Bai Mujin and Bai Muchen in front of so many people?
Bai Gaoxuan's crying when she came back today almost made her panic, but fortunately, Mama Du reminded her from the side, so that she could quickly make a decision, take care of everything, and set up a perfect set, let Bai Mujin and Bai Muchen get in, and then let them never turn over.
Bai Shizu listened to Bai Muhibiscus's words, sneered, and said: "Sure enough, if you don't see the coffin, you don't shed tears, and you are stubborn, then don't blame your father for being ruthless, bring Xiaolu, Mingchong, and Wen Ze up!"
