158 Prepare for a response

Bai Zhen'er went back to the courtyard and changed back into her boudoir clothes, she looked at the blurred woman in the mirror, she smiled, she still thought this women's dress looked better.

After Mrs. Bai saw Bai Zhen'er's woman's outfit, she also said with a relieved face: "It's better for my daughter to dress up, and she is not allowed to wear those clothes in the future." ”

"At that time, it was for the convenience of traveling."

"You." Mrs. Bai also didn't know what to say, at this time, the old man Bai over there should be talking to that Shang Ying, although she also hoped to be willing to lose her trust, but Mrs. Bai also vaguely knew that it was unlikely that Master Bai would not look down on Shang Ying.

Mrs. Bai Da has also been in contact with Shang Ying, and when she didn't know that Shang Ying was Mingchi, so, in addition to that identity, Shang Ying is indeed a relatively outstanding person.

"Mother, after you returned to the capital, who came from your family?" Bai Zhen'er asked, wanting to know the specific situation at that time.

"At that time, thanks to the merchant son." When Mrs. Bai talked about Shang Ying, she also paused, and then said, "Later, we went back to the capital first, and after telling all this, we were ready to wait for the people over there to come." ”

"And then?"

"The person who came later was Bai Qi's sister-in-law Bai Haotian, and when he came, he still looked arrogant, is this really the boundary of Huainan?"

"What the hell is going on?" As far as she knew, it seemed that this matter had not been resolved, and Bai Haotian returned to Huainan.

"Hmph, what else could there be. Naturally, he suffered a loss in the Bai family, and he still wanted to be the king and hegemon in the capital. In the end, he collided with the people of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, making people have a blue nose and swollen face. In the end, he was caught in prison by Fu Yin's people, and in the end, I don't know who ransomed the person, so Bai Haotian went back in disgrace. ”

"Can't you find out who helped Bai Haotian behind you?"

Mrs. Bai shook her head, "I don't know, otherwise how could I let that person leave the capital so easily?" ”

If you go back like this, it's really cheaper than Bai Haotian, "Mother, do you know why the previous patriarch retired?" ”

"Well, this was a long time ago. I'm not particularly clear either. Mrs. Bai recalled. It was also the first time I went back to Huainan, and I had only heard about Huainan before, and I heard that it was a disagreement within the clan, and finally the old patriarch retired. ”

"That's right." Looks like this needs to be investigated.

"Why do you ask this?"

I just thought. Isn't this Bai Qi the patriarch? If you change to the previous patriarch. Maybe it won't happen. ”

Mrs. Bai didn't think so. "The rise and fall of the family is always one, so doesn't Bai Qi represent most of the clansmen?"

Bai Zhen'er didn't speak, she didn't think so. It is good to say that the interests of the clan are one, but it is people who will have private hearts after all, and everything will not be absolute.

This simple conversation is over, Bai Zhen'er stays at home calmly, and there is a grandmother watching her every day.

Bai Zhen'er also has correspondence with Anxin's side, she saw the news about her family, it turns out that Bai Qi and Uncle Bai really have an unusual relationship, and they are still the identity of Yizi. That Bai Qi is also a child of the side branch, because his parents died, so he had a child raised by his uncle.

It's a pity that human nature is an unpredictable thing, and in the end, Bai Qi used some means to replace Uncle Bai and become the next patriarch, so the Bai family began the road to recovery, and it was also at that time that Master Bai went to Beijing to catch the exam.

Bai Zhen'er looked at the affairs of the Bai family for a while, and the family is now the minions of King Qin, she looked at some of the things that the Bai family was responsible for, and she saw the plague in Shanxi when she came back a year ago.

At that time, Second Master Bai was close to his family, and this matter may not be without the collusion between Second Master Bai and that side. Thinking about it, Bai Zhen'er felt that this matter was not quite right, and she had to talk to Master Bai about it, otherwise it would not be good to be looked at by her own family at that time.

Thinking of Bai Zhen'er, she asked people to inquire about the news of Master Bai, and when Master Bai came back, Bai Zhen'er went to find Master Bai.

Master Bai was also a little surprised and looked at his daughter who came to find him, "What is the matter with Zhen'er coming to find her father?" ”

"Father, I have something to tell you."

Master Bai looked at the people around him, he retreated from everyone and said, "Say it." ”

"Father, I went to Huainan before returning to the capital and found the former patriarch Uncle Bai."

Master Bai's hand paused, "You went, did you see his old man." ”

After a few days of closed-door soup, I was fortunate to see the old man of the clan without dishonoring. By the way, I talked about it, after all, sometimes, the elders still need to come forward. ”

"Oh, you don't know. He has always been an old man who loves Bai Qi. "Master Bai also studied with the clan prince for a period of time when he was a child, so he naturally knew Bai Qi's intelligence.

"This has nothing to do with righteousness. After some conversation, the clan lord has already agreed to deal with this matter, and I believe that there will be a result soon. ”

"You kid, how do you believe there will be results?"

"It's one thing not to believe it, but it's another thing not to do it. Besides, the family is doing things for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and before the plague in Shanxi, did the second uncle also participate in it, and was it because of the King of Qin behind this matter? ”

Bai Zhen'er said something, and Master Bai suddenly narrowed his eyes, "How do you know these things?" ”

"It's not important, the important thing is that if this matter is involved at that time, what will the second uncle do?"

"Then how about medicine?"

"No, in this matter, the second uncle should also have a way to protect himself, if the family bites over at that time, the second uncle should not defect, right?"

"You kid, you think a lot. For my father to know, I will have a good talk with your second uncle. ”

"After this incident, we have already had a disagreement with our family, if our family participates in the party struggle, regardless of success or failure, we are not in the best place."

"What do you mean?" Master Bai looked at Bai Zhenren, this Bai Qi is the righteous son of the previous patriarch, no matter what, Uncle Bai will not do anything to his son.

"It's just waiting for the family's explanation, otherwise, we will force the family to deal with Bai Qi and his party, if not, then we must find an opportunity to break with the family, at least in the eyes of outsiders, we are definitely on the same page as Huainan. At this time, the second uncle must express his attitude. ”

"You don't know, when I was a child, we were all taught by the patriarch, and it can be said that the old patriarch is my mentor." Master Bai realized in a trance that he hadn't been back to Huainan for a long time. (To be continued......)
