Chapter 56: Confronting Bai Shizu

"Am I going to be sympathetic to her? Bai Shizu, Bai Shizu, I took the trouble to teach you to adulthood, why did you develop such a character that does not distinguish between right and wrong, and does not know black and white? I can understand that you feel sorry for your wife and daughter, but isn't Jin'er your daughter? Do you know what the Lu family did that I punished her ruthlessly? You didn't figure out the ins and outs of the matter, so you came to me and asked, should you? Old Madam Bai reprimanded angrily, and then sat there dejectedly, as if she was very sad.

When Bai Shizu heard this, he frowned, and then said: "I didn't question my mother, I also know the matter, you suspect that the Lu family deliberately wanted to frame Jin'er, but it was just a misunderstanding, how can you believe that such a gentle and kind woman as she would do such a thing?" In the past ten years, she has been very good to Jin'er and Chen'er! ”

It is really not easy to make Bai Shizu believe that the Lu family will harm Bai Mujian, after all, all the actions of the Lu family are private, on the surface, she takes proper care of Bai Mujin and Bai Muchen, those methods are not understandable to a man like Bai Shizu who has not experienced the struggle in the inner house, after all, the grandfather of the old country only married the old lady, and he is the only son in the family, so he naturally does not understand the twists and turns.

Old Madam Bai sighed deeply, feeling that she really doted on this son too much back then, so that he became such a simple and ignorant appearance, full of thought that what she saw in her eyes was the truth, and the Lu family was used to ingratiating and coaxing him into obedience.

Bai Mujin saw that Old Madam Bai was so angry that she couldn't even speak for a long time, so she hurriedly went up to comfort her: "Grandmother, don't be angry, if you are angry, it will also hinder your father's reputation, but doesn't it make your mother more guilty?" This spreads, what do others think of our Ningguo Mansion? ”

When Bai Shizu heard this, he suddenly understood what he had done wrong, and he actually came to ask his mother for his wife's punishment, if he was really angry with his mother, he was afraid that the title of the duke of the country would be difficult to protect, and the emperor now ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, and the most intolerable thing was that his children disobeyed their parents and elders, how could he do such a foolish thing?

Thinking like this, Bai Shizu's arrogance was suddenly extinguished, and he stood there very embarrassed, not knowing what to do, no matter how much he blamed his mother for being unfair in his heart, he couldn't openly confront her, wasn't this destroying his future?

"Mother...... Son, son doesn't mean that, Bai Mu Hibiscus, you girl blames you all, if you didn't get in the way, how could you make your grandmother angry and punish your mother and sister, hey...... It's so disappointing to be so restless at such a young age, thinking about how to intrigue every day! Seeing that the situation was not right, Bai Shizu immediately turned the spearhead to Bai Muhibiscus, and insisted on pushing the charge of disobedience and unfilial piety to her.

Bai Muhibiscus smiled secretly in his heart, his father was really stupid and ignorant, if it weren't for the shrewdness of the old lady, who refused the concubines of the old prince back then, and single-handedly got rid of the uncles who coveted the position of the prince, with this incompetent and ignorant Bai Shizu, the position of the prince of the country could not be kept, and he still thought that he was really an outstanding talent.

Being accused by Bai Shizu like this, she didn't feel it at all, she just felt that he was stupid, but she had to pretend to be frightened and aggrieved on her face, blinked her tearful eyes, knelt on the ground with a puff, and said, "Father, Jin'er doesn't know what she has done to make her father so angry!" ”

"Hmph, you don't know what you've done? Your mother was dealt with by the family law, and you let your sister enter the family temple, and you still say that you don't know what you did? Sure enough, if you don't know the facts, I will always be a good boy who is weak and kind! Seeing Bai Hibiscus kneeling on the ground, Bai Shizu did not relieve his anger, but felt more and more that he was scolding reasonably.

Bai Mujin rubbed his eyes with a handkerchief, choked and said: "Father must have misunderstood, my sister entered the family temple because she suddenly went crazy in Xiangguo Temple and scolded me angrily, and confronted my grandmother in front of her, and kept asking my mother to kill me, if you see her like that, you will also feel that she is stunned, grandmother has to send her to the family temple to retreat, hoping that there can help her exorcise evil spirits, let her sister return to normal, and then take her home, otherwise her reputation will be ruined!" As for the punishment of my mother, I ...... Jin'er really doesn't want to say it! ”

Bai Mujin shed tears of sadness as he spoke, looking pitiful and stubborn, and stubbornly trying to pretend to be strong and forbearing.

Bai Shizu looked at her, frowned, and asked, "Why don't you dare to say it?" Isn't it true that your grandmother annoyed your mother? ”

"It has nothing to do with Jin'er, it's me who insists on punishing her, as a mother, I don't even think about my daughter, I don't think about the face of the Guogong Mansion, I chirp in Xiangguo Temple early in the morning, I have to say that Jin'er didn't return all night, isn't this going to ruin Jin'er's reputation and ruin her life? You don't feel sorry for your daughter, but I, as a grandmother, want to feel sorry for this granddaughter, so that she has such an unclean reputation on her back, how will she see people in the future? Old Madam Bai calmed down for a while, and was finally able to speak calmly.

Bai Shizu was taken aback, thinking that what he heard from here was so different from what the Lu family said to him? Although she was skeptical, she couldn't help but defend the Lu family: "That's why she cares about it, and there's no need to be punished so much, right?" ”

"Caring is messy? Hmph, do you know why she blocked the door of Jin'er early in the morning, because the night before your youngest daughter introduced Jin'er into the bamboo forest behind Xiangguo Temple, and she almost fell into a maze, so she really didn't return overnight, and the monks of Xiangguo Temple went into the bamboo forest and brought out the bodies of eight thieves, think about it, is it all a coincidence? Old Madam Bai asked sharply? The coldness in his eyes suddenly appeared, and Bai Shizu was also shocked.

Bai Shizu looked at Old Madam Bai in shock, and said again and again: "This ...... This...... Impossible, how could Ning Xiang be so ruthless? No, she has always taken good care of Jin'er and treats her as her own! ”

"Impossible? Then the grandfather will explain, why can things be so coincidental? If it weren't for Jin'er's blessing from the Buddha and not falling into the bamboo forest, I'm afraid what you see now is Jin'er's corpse, I just punished the Lu family a little, and you would be distressed, so what about Jin'er? If she doesn't survive this, it's a life! Old Madam Bai said bitterly, and her hand struck the table a few times, thumping, as if it was hitting everyone's heart.

Bai Mujin always knelt on the ground silently, enduring her grievances and helplessness, and lowered her head, making people feel that she looked so lonely and helpless, and everyone present couldn't help but feel pity.

Mu Xinping experienced the Xiangguo Temple, but she didn't know the danger, at this time Mrs. Bai said this, she felt that Bai Hibiscus was simply the rest of her life, and suddenly she also had real pity for this little girl, although she was clothed and fed, but she was also threatened by her stepmother all the time, and sure enough, there was no real wishful thinking in this world.

Bai Shizu looked at his daughter's tearful appearance, and his heart was also painful, and he suddenly felt that what he just said was simply heartbreaking, if it was...... He was also terrified at the thought that the Lu clan could do such a poisonous move.

"Jin'er......" Bai Shizu shouted guiltily, but he couldn't pull his head down and say some soft words, so he could only freeze there.

Bai Mujin raised his head and shook his head with a smile at him, although there were tears in his eyes, he obviously understood Bai Shizu's meaning, and took the initiative to speak: "Father, Jin'er hopes that this matter will pass like this, and no one has to mention it, after all, I am still alive and well, and in a few days, when my sister recovers, I will take her back, and our family will be fine!" ”

Bai Shizu heard Bai Mujian's words, and suddenly felt even more ashamed, Jin'er is clearly a general knowledge, as gentle as her mother Lu Wanqin, so knowledgeable, how could he think that Wanqin's daughter would be a scheming, uneasy and kind-hearted person?

Bai Shizu looked at Bai Mu Hibiscus and said, "Jin'er, if you think like this, my father will be relieved, hey...... You have been wronged in this matter, and your father will definitely compensate you well in the future! ”

"Father doesn't have to be like this, as a child, he naturally has to be filial to his elders, how can he be dissatisfied with his elders if he is a little wronged, not to mention that Jin'er is just a little wronged, even if my father scolds me because of a momentary anger, I can only bear it, I just hope that my father can be stingy!" The soft and soft voice of the white hibiscus makes people's hearts soften.

Bai Shizu nodded again and again, and couldn't help but hate the Lu family even more in his heart, he was really an ignorant person, he knew that he had done something wrong, and he dared to sue Diao, even if her mother punished her wrongly, she could only bear it, and even sent someone to call her back to be the master with her!

At this time, Mu Xinping suddenly stood up, gently walked over and pulled Bai Hibiscus up, and said softly: "Good Hibiscus, hurry up, the ground is cold!" ”

After speaking, he secretly glanced at Bai Shizu, and saw that although he had passed the age of standing, he was still tall and handsome, with a graceful demeanor, and his eyes couldn't help but flash with a moist luster, and he glanced at him shyly, so he quickly put it aside.

Bai Shizu also glanced at Mu Xinping inadvertently, although he heard that there was a cousin at home, but he didn't know that he was so beautiful and moving, and the soft glance just now seemed to be a feather crossing his heart.

Bai Mujian naturally did not miss the interaction between the two, the corners of her mouth rose imperceptibly, Mu Xinping knew how to grasp the opportunity too well, looking at her father's amazing eyes, she knew that Mu Xinping would probably become her aunt soon!

Bai Mujian glanced at Mu Xinping gratefully and thanked, "Thank you, auntie!" ”

Mu Xinping's heart was still pounding because she saw Bai Shizu's appearance, and she didn't even notice Bai Mujin talking to her, she was only immersed in her own thoughts. Although marrying Bai Shizu can only be a side room, he is a talent and a grandfather of the country, with her current life experience, it is rare to have such a good relative, what else is there to ask for?

Bai Mujin didn't care, but wisely stepped aside, leaving only Mu Xinping and Bai Shizu peeking at each other in the middle, secretly feeling emotional.

Mu Xinping couldn't help but look at Bai Shizu again, and finally felt that her decision was not wrong, but she also realized that it was a little inappropriate for a girl who had not left the pavilion to approach a man like this, so she hurriedly retreated and stood behind Old Madam Bai.
