In front of everyone, Bai Qi and Bai Xiao walked in side by side. On the way back to the house, there were already small servants who showed them the cause and effect, Bai Xiao didn't care about himself, his expression was as usual, and Bai Qi's face was really ugly.

The two brothers bowed to their parents, Bai Zhanchun looked at Bai Qi lukewarmly for a moment, pointed to Fang Huaiyuan's family of three and asked, "What's going on?" You come by 1510, otherwise I won't be able to spare you! ”

Bai Qi, who had always been a little afraid of his father, lowered his head when he heard this, his back was straight, and his hands hanging on his sides were clenched into fists, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Jin hurriedly urged: "Qi'er, you hurry up and explain clearly, my mother believes that you are not such a frivolous and confused child." ”

Bai Qi was still silent, his expression was quite complicated.

"Bai Gongzi, don't you remember me?" Fang Shulian walked up to him, tears in her beautifully contoured eyes, and her thin shoulders trembled slightly.

Bai Qi only glanced at her, and then felt his chest clogged in panic. The scene when the two got along that day quickly came to mind.

Bai Xiao next to him was a little confused, and couldn't help but wonder: "What's going on?" Second brother, you speak. Father, the Fang family took their daughter to force the second brother to marry, it is too ridiculous! ”

Although he is the concubine of the family, his biological mother Yun has been favored for many years, and Bai Zhansong also prefers him as the eldest son, so his courage is greater than Bai Qi.

Bai Zhanchun was in a depressed mood, and he didn't want to explain too much at the moment, but the Jin family snorted coldly and said ill-willedly: "Our Bai family and the ancestor of the Fang family have indeed made a marriage contract, but it may not be necessary for Qi'er to marry the woman of the Fang family. Xiao Er, you are the eldest son, and you are eighteen years old this year, so you should marry a wife first and then discuss your second brother's family affairs. ”

As a mother-in-law, she has the right to decide the family affairs of her concubine, and it is not surprising that Bai Xiao will be pushed out as a shield in this case. Anyway, the Fang family's mind can be understood by fools, it is nothing more than wanting to cling to the Bai family, how can they be qualified to find fault with their sons-in-law?

"Thanks to his mother's love, his son has achieved nothing now, and he thinks that a manly husband will start a business first and then get married, and I hope his mother will understand!" After saying that, Bai Xiao lifted his robe and knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times to the Jin family to show his determination.

Let's not talk about the Fang family's family style, just say that Fang Shu wants to marry Bai Qi today, he Bai Xiao is not stupid, how could he inexplicably bear the notoriety of snatching away his "brother and daughter-in-law". Moreover, his mother-in-law did not treat him kindly, and left the rest of Bai Qi's picks to him since he was a child, and he was also broad-minded and never cared, but he must not let the marriage matter go.

Kim's face changed, and he couldn't get off the table. Unexpectedly, Bai Xiao dared to refuse in public, which not only made Bai Muguan and the Fang family see her jokes, but also made Bai Qi have nowhere to hide.

"Xiao Er has an impatient temperament, although Qi'er is one year older, she is not as stable as Qi'er, and she is not in a hurry to discuss marriage." Bai Zhan opened his mouth slowly, and the words were finalized.

Kim was shocked and couldn't believe it. On the contrary, Bai Muguan was not surprised, Bai Zhanjung's approach had his own considerations. Even if Bai Qi doesn't marry Fang Shu, her reputation will be damaged after today, and it will be difficult to say goodbye in the future. It's better to keep the innocent Bai Xiao, maybe he will be able to climb into a famous lady in the future. In addition to caring about the level of the family, men and women marry more about the quality of their reputation.

As far as the Jin family is concerned, there is only one son of Bai Qi, and Bai Xiao has no blood relationship with her. For Bai Zhanzhu, there is no difference between the two of them being his heirs. Such a simple truth is clear to the onlooker.

It is also strange to say that since Bai Qi entered the house, Fang Huaiyuan and his wife, who were originally arrogant, have been quiet a lot. It was still Jin who repeated what Fang Huaiyuan said to Bai Qi in a few words, and at the end, she looked eagerly looking forward to her son's denial.

It's a pity that after waiting for a long time, Bai Qi continued to remain silent, his head lowered a few points, and he couldn't see the expression on his face at all. It doesn't look like a weak heart, but it looks like a little sad and helpless.

"Cousin Qi, you and I are equals, it stands to reason that I shouldn't open my mouth to interrogate you, but this matter is appalling, please tell me the truth." Bai Muguan's eyes were sharp and calm, looking at him calmly, not allowing him to escape.

She had already sensed that this was not good, and Bai Qi should have been calculated. She hated her aunt Jin for embarrassing her own mother, and she didn't want to give her a good face, but her cousin Bai Qi was different. They are of the same clan and generation, with the same surname, and Bai Qi's words and deeds are also related to the reputation of the Bai family. She couldn't sit idly by and ignore this matter, and let Bai Qi be led by the nose by the Fang family.

After a long time, Bai Qi couldn't resist the pressure she exerted, and finally moved the corners of her mouth, and barely squeezed out a sentence: "Cousin Guan, you have to worry about me." ”

"Bai Qi! Have you seen this Fang girl a few days ago? What happened to her? Bai Zhanchun had long run out of patience and was furious.

Bai Qi's heart was cold, and the obscurity in his eyes was clear at a glance. asked so bluntly, it seems that his father thinks that he is plotting against Fang Shu. At this point, there is no room for manoeuvre, so why should he struggle to defend himself? No matter how much he explains, I'm afraid no one will believe it. After all, women in the world, no matter how noble or low, pay attention to their reputations, and they have no grievances in the near future, so who would deliberately slander him with their precious reputations?

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said with a face full of repentance: "When I returned to my father's words, my son had nothing to say, so he was always silent. ”

So Fang Huaiyuan didn't lie?

The young man is strong-blooded, and Fang Shu is quite beautiful. As a man, Bai Zhanchun did not suspect that this matter was false.

"Foolish thing! Darn! Bai Zhanchun picked up the tea cup on the table and smashed it at his son.

Bai Qi didn't dodge, fortunately he didn't hit it, otherwise he would have to break his head on the spot.

"You kid dare to act, the old man reluctantly let you go today." At this time, Fang Huaiyuan's face showed joy, and the previous unwillingness and sullenness were swept away, and the goal was almost achieved.

The Jin family mother and daughter, including Bai Xiao, were blinded, and Bai Muguan also frowned. How could Bai Qi admit it like this? Could it be that he wants to agree to this family business?

A smile also appeared on Wu's lips, his eyebrows smiled, and he said happily: "Lord Bai, madam, the two ancestors have a marriage contract, and a pair of children are also affectionate and righteous, why don't you decide the marriage today?" This also saves you the trouble of inviting official media to come to your door. ”

Just look at her face, you can be angry, before Bai Qi bullied her daughter, the couple seemed to give up their lives to "seek justice", and in the blink of an eye, they turned their faces faster than turning a book.

Fang Shuxiang still had tears on her cheeks, looking at Bai Qi's very handsome face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, her eyes were a little more shy.

She stood very close to Bai Qi, and at this time she lowered her voice and told him, in a mournful tone: "Bai Gongzi, although there is no husband and wife between you and me, but you hugged my body that day, I have no other way but to marry you......"

Except for Bai Qi, who was closest to her, others couldn't hear what she said at all, but Bai Muguan understood the guilt that flickered faintly in Fang Shu's eyes.

"Miss Fang doesn't need to say any more, and there is no need for father and mother to hesitate." Bai Qi raised his head, knelt on the ground, and said expressionlessly, "This matter started because of me, and it affected the reputation of the Bai family, so I am really willing to be punished." But I hope that my father can agree to this family business, and I will choose an auspicious day to marry Miss Fang and pass through the door as the main room. ”

He bit the word "main room" very hard, obviously reminding the Kim family. Mother and son are connected, and he has already guessed the idea of the Kim family. In fact, the Jin family really wanted Fang Shu to be a concubine, and was thinking about how to speak, but he didn't expect to be preempted by Bai Qi.

Jin Huo Ran got up, raised his hand and pointed at his son in a panic: "Qi'er, you are confused, you are crazy!" Where is Fang Shu worthy of being your wife! ”

The words she blurted out caused Bai Zhan to be unhappy, and she glared at her with warning. Fang Shu is not worthy of Bai Qi, is she worthy of Bai Xiao? It's just that the Jin family can't teach his son, and he still wants to point out Fang Shu to Bai Xiao, which is really annoying. Bai Zhanchun himself is a concubine, so not only does he not value his concubine, but he usually prefers the eldest son.

Bai Mingnuan spoke softly and asked, "Big brother, have you really thought about it?" ”

Bai Qi raised her eyes to look at her sister and nodded seriously.

Of course, he would not be reckless and indifferent to Fang Shu, when they met by chance on the street that day, it was Fang Shu who took the initiative to talk to him. By talking about the opera script, she politely invited him to the teahouse to drink tea, and he thought he was a righteous gentleman, and he refused politely if he didn't want to cause misunderstanding. Who knew that she had tears in her eyes, complained about grievances, and even lied to him that he had no father, and the orphans and widows were lonely and pitiful.

In the face of such a beautiful and weak girl pear blossom with rain, Bai Qi felt compassion and agreed to her request. When he arrived at the teahouse, he went to the private room with her, who knew that she drugged him in the tea, and when he was confused, he reached out and hugged her delicate body, and he couldn't bear the drug seizure, and was about to do it to her when someone broke in. A few servants and shopkeepers dragged him out and splashed him with cold water to wake him up, and only when he reacted did he know that he had been calculated.

This kind of encounter is difficult to talk about, after returning home, he didn't even dare to tell his mother Jin, and he didn't care too much about it for a few days, who knew that he was waiting for such a good show today?

Bai Zhanchun shook his head helplessly, and said lukewarmly: "The wedding date is scheduled for February next year." Are you satisfied? Fang Huaiyuan, don't you need me to send you away personally, right? ”

Fang Huaiyuan and Wu glanced at each other, each couldn't help but want to laugh, and then led their daughter to leave satisfied.

After they left, Bai Muguan also stood up, walked up to Bai Qi and helped him, and then smiled faintly: "Cousin Qi, no matter what the truth of this matter is, the dust has settled, I congratulate you in advance." I hope that after Miss Fang enters the door, you will raise your eyebrows and love Bai Shou. ”

In the face of this cousin who only has two faces, she can't talk about closeness or disgust. If he dares to tell the truth today, she will do everything in her power to help. It's a pity that his choice doomed her to have nothing to say.

"Cousin Guan's kindness, Bai Qi understands it."

It was past noon after such a scene, and Bai Zhanjun didn't have the interest to stay in Bai Muguan to eat, and the Jin family was even more angry.

When Bai Muguan was about to say goodbye, Xiangyun hurriedly ran in and said a few words to her. I saw that she looked uneasy in an instant, and hurriedly left.
