The old lady understood the front, but not the back. She doesn't understand what the three views are, but heredity is understood, and if you understand it comprehensively, it is not difficult to understand the meaning of her words.

She wanted to argue, but found that her words were so weak, and she also remembered that she had explored such a question herself.

Why can the child born to a concubine become a general, but the two she gave birth to are more incompetitive than the other?

But she still feels that Bai Xingyan is not completely with her, just like now, Bai Xingyan has committed a heinous crime, but she is still reluctant to let her son die. But many years ago, Bai Xingyan had already killed one of his biological children.

In the face of Bai Heran's words, the old lady didn't speak, she just looked around at the people seated, and for a while, her eyes first fell on the Hong family, and said: "The world's agricultural and industrial enterprises, the merchants are the lowest, the least valuable. Even if your Hong family is the largest merchant in Eastern Qin, it still can't change your status. What's more, the reason why the Hong family is doing business to the point of prosperity, you have to admit that a lot of the credit for this is given by your man. ”

The Hong family nodded, "I admit that Grandpa Guo did help our Hong family a lot, but his help to the Hong family was paid. Every time he contributed, every time he helped the Hong family get through the relationship, he would ask for the corresponding remuneration from the Hong family afterwards, and the Hong family only gave a lot more in this reward. If the old lady thinks that I am talking about it, she can arrange for someone to go to the Hong family to check the accounts now, and every remuneration that Wen Guogong asks for from the Hong family is clearly written on the books, and the Hong family will never take advantage of him. ”

"Who knows if your Red family's account is true or false." The old lady said this against her will, but she was clear in her heart, the Hong family's account could not be fake, and she also knew that Bai Xingyan was paid from the Hong family at the beginning. Otherwise, the Wenguo Mansion has no profitable operation, only relying on a few shops and a few Zhuangzi, how could it have been so brilliant in the past ten years.

But she couldn't admit this, and she couldn't admit it even if she gritted her teeth, otherwise she would lose her momentum and the dignity of the Bai family.

"If Old Madam Bai insists on thinking so, then I can't help it. However, even if we don't mention whether Wen Guogong was paid from the Hong family in the past, let's only count the Hong family's contribution to the Bai family for more than half a year, which is enough to offset the grace of Wen Guogong at the beginning. Old Madam Bai, don't forget, the world depends on the concubine's aunt's maiden family to support her life, except for the Wenguo Mansion, I am afraid there is nowhere else. It's better for you to calculate how much money the Wenguo Mansion has spent on the Hong family in the past six months, and even your food and clothing are the money you took from the Hong family. It's not enough to feed and drink for you, but also for your son to take a new concubine, the Bai family really wants face. ”

Hong's words were very serious, and the old lady's face turned red and white for a while, and she wanted to reprimand her several times, but she was scolded back by Hong's tone. The Hong family is not like the Lin family, weak and unconfident, the red family's confidence is enough, and her tone immediately rises when she is not happy, so scared that the old lady does not dare to squeak.

In the end, the old lady's silence represented surrender and no longer had to fight with the Red family.

But just because she doesn't have anything to do with the Hong family doesn't mean she doesn't have anything to do with others. After the Hong clan stopped paying attention to her, she began to challenge the Lin clan, and she asked the Lin clan, "What about you?" Now the man who is unwilling to follow you share the joys and sorrows, what did you think when you entered the gate of our Wenguo Mansion with a play? The drama turned over and became the concubine of a generation of marquises, which not only raised your value, but also raised the value of your father. Your Lin family has not made any contribution to the Guogong Mansion, and now what face do you have to face retreat? What kind of face does it have to say that you will not be sent to death with your man? ”

The Lin family was helpless, she really had no reason to retreat, their Lin family did take advantage of the Wenguo Mansion.

So she nodded and said, "I don't back down, I'm willing to accompany him to death." But I implore Mrs. Bai to care more for your grandchildren, they are still children, why should they die? The son was born to you, and the grandchildren were born to your son, you accumulate some virtue, don't be confused for a while, and put the life of the whole family on the line. ”

The old lady was so angry by Lin's words, but she was also calculating in her heart, yes, there is also a grandson, the grandson is the root of the Bai family! Xingyan slept with the imperial concubine, this must be a dead end, she can't save her son's life, but her grandson must be protected.

"Ah Ran." She was going to pull Hakuzuru's hand, but unfortunately she was thrown away as soon as she got on it. The white crane dyed with a cold appearance, which made her feel cold all over her body just by looking at it, as if she had never known this girl, so far away.

"Ah Ran." The old lady retracted her hand and said pleadingly, "I don't ask you to protect your father, I only ask you to keep Xuan'er." Don't you like him too? Then you can keep him, that is the root of our Bai family, and the Bai family cannot break the root. ”

Bai Heran turned his head to look at her and asked calmly, "What about Zhen Zhen and Yan Yu?" They are also the descendants of the Bai family, can they be guaranteed? ”

"How can you have the power to protect so many people?" The old lady was self-aware this time, so she told Bai Heran, "Put all the chips on Xuan'er, even if you can save several people, it will be risky." It's better to concentrate the targets and save only one, so that the risk can be reduced. You give Xuan'er everyone's hopes, and Xuan'er will definitely be able to keep it. Aran, did you understand what your grandmother said? ”

Bai Heran felt disgusted, this is really not something that happens and it is not clear to see a person. In the past, I only thought that this grandmother was kind-eyed, sensible, and clear, and it was good for the original owner and her. She thought about honoring this elder wholeheartedly, firstly, to repay this ancestral friendship for the original owner, and secondly, to be regarded as her own grandmother, to feel the family affection that she had not felt in two lifetimes.

But now it seems that she is too naïve, and everything is her wishful thinking.

Trade the lives of several children for the lives of one child, and because that child is a boy, he should survive. Even if Bai Haoxuan was her beloved younger brother, she would never be able to do such a thing.

It was hard for Hakuzuru to understand, as a grandmother, how could this old lady come up with the idea of giving the lives of her other granddaughters to a grandson? Could it be that the difference between men and women is so big in her heart? Is male superiority and inferiority so ingrained in her concept?

"Then what if Zhen Zhen and Yan Yu's lives are not enough, and they need to add my lives to save Xuan'er?" Reluctantly, she asked the old lady again, "If so, how do you choose?" ”

"I ......" The old lady was stunned for a moment, and quickly said, "Then you can pity the poor Bai family, can't you let the Bai family cut off their children and grandchildren?" Ah Ran, Haoxuan is your most beloved brother, you just look at this, you can't bear to let him die, right? ”

Hakuzuru smiled, really smiled, laughing so much that tears flew out.

To let her take the initiative to give her life and change someone else's life, it was the first time in her two lives that she had heard of such a funny thing. The Bai family in the previous life was so dirty, and no one dared to say such things to her, what happened in this life? Is she too benevolent and looks too easy to bully? How can anyone say something like this?

When the Hong clan heard this, they reacted first: "Old Madam Bai, what are you talking about?" Xuan'er is my child, and I love him the most, but even I will never let Ah Ran change his life. Don't say that Ah Ran doesn't say it, even Zhen Zhen and Yan Yu can't do it! No one can deprive others of their right to live in order to live, otherwise he will survive and will carry a heavy burden for the rest of his life. We don't want this kind of life, and we would rather not live like this. ”

"Confused!" The old lady gritted her teeth and scolded the Hong family, "Woman's opinion! Is he living for himself? He lives for the whole family, and he wants to continue the incense for the Bai family! What's wrong with having a burden? A manly man, who can be without a burden? ”

"That's not going to work either." The Hong family insisted very much, "I understand my son, and I am also confident in my upbringing, maybe if this matter is changed to your son Bai Xingyan, he will definitely choose to let himself live, but my Xuan'er will definitely not agree." ”

"Are you blaming the old man for not being as good as you in his son's upbringing?" The old lady's eyes revealed a killing intent, "Hong Piaopiao, I knew that there was today, I should have beaten you to death with a stick, even if Chun Yulan stopped me, I should have killed you!" ”

"Yes, you wanted to kill me." Hong said angrily, "My life was saved by Sister Chunyu, and even if I miss Grace, I only miss Sister Chunyu's kindness." Old lady, you only defend your son from beginning to end, women are nothing in your eyes, and you don't care if we live or die. But don't forget, you're a woman yourself. ”

Lin nodded on the side, Tan also nodded, and Guan also nodded.

For a while, the old lady felt that she had betrayed her relatives and left the fingers of thousands of people, and none of these people here listened to her.

"Old lady." Bai Heran said leisurely, "Even if I keep Xuan'er, it will definitely not be because he is the only root of the Bai family, but because he is my younger brother who is close to me. In fact, there is not only one root of the Bai family, Xuan'er, and Feng'er is also the root of the Bai family, but you don't want to admit it. You always feel that the third uncle is a concubine, and Feng'er was born to a concubine, so he has no status. But don't forget, for the Bai family, for your grandfather, there is no difference between you and the concubine and grandmother back then. It's just a tool for the Bai family to extend their heirs, who is much more noble than whom? ”

She picked up the tea cup on the table again, and this time, the tea was completely cold.

"The third uncle is a general, and he has made great achievements, and the hope that their family can survive is at least seventy percent. So old lady, it is very likely that the last thing left in the Bai family is the root of Feng'er. And when Feng'er becomes the only surviving bloodline of the Bai family in the world, I will remind him to straighten his own ancestral mother, at least he must be his grandfather's wife, or do it more simply, let you go down to the court, and straighten the concubine's room, this is what the Bai family's son-raiser is best at, old lady, do you say yes? ”

Syllable! The old lady shuddered, and a teacup hit the ground and shattered......
