When Bai Shaoyuan learned the news that his eldest daughter Xiang Xiaoyu had passed away, he was slightly stunned, but he was not too sad.

After all, she is just a daughter, not a son who can inherit his mantle.

The water thrown out by a married daughter is her own unlucky fate.

"Mom, it's better not to tell Mrs. Chen about Ci'er's death. Her body can no longer withstand the blow. Doctor Zhang used all his medical skills to save Chen's pregnancy last time. Now her son Even though the heirs are withering away, I hope she can give you another grandson."

Bai Shaoyuan sighed, put down the tea cup in his hand and spoke slowly to Mrs. Bai.

Mrs. Chen has always loved her eldest daughter the most. She doesn't know what will happen if she learns of Ci'er's death.

Her body couldn't bear this blow, and neither could the Bai family.

Mrs. Bai nodded in agreement. Although she usually criticized Mrs. Chen as the head matron, and even thought of abandoning her several times, Mrs. Chen was really full of ambition.

"Mom knows, and will give orders soon. Everyone in the mansion will keep it secret. It's just a pity that the child in Ju's belly, the doctor said it was a fully formed male fetus, died like this."

Mrs. Bai's eyes were slightly moist. If the Ju family hadn't been criticized by others, her sweet grandson would have been born in a few months.

Bai Shaoyuan's face turned ugly when she mentioned the Ju family and the child in her belly. She clenched her big hand into a fist tightly and said with eyes as if to kill:

"My son has already ordered to go down and strangle Aunt Zhang to death. If she wasn't such a poisonous woman, how could Xiao Ju and my son die? If I had known this, my son should not have brought her into the house in the first place. How long did it take for her to come out?" Such a thing!"

At first, he just looked at Zhang's beauty, so he brought her into the house and doted on her for a while. However, with so many women in the house, the novelty soon wore off.

He just hadn't been to Zhang's yard for a while, and that woman did such a cruel thing!

What a poisonous woman!

Mrs. Bai also nodded with a fierce look. She dared to kill her grandson even if she died ten thousand times.

"After you die, you can just throw her in a mass grave to feed the wolves. You must pay more attention to the affairs of the third girl. Mother, as you said, how can there be an overnight feud between father and daughter? She is your biological flesh and blood after all."

Mrs. Bai looked at her son's embarrassed face and couldn't say anything more. She was in poor health now and couldn't hold on to what she said for a while.

Aunt Qin quickly stepped forward and helped Mrs. Bai lie down on the bed again. Bai Shaoyuan nodded to reassure Mrs. Bai that he knew what to do, and then turned around and left the yard.

"Aqin, do you think Shaoyuan listened to what I said?"

Mrs. Bai opened her eyes that had been asleep and murmured in the direction where Bai Shaoyuan left.

Aunt Qin looked at Mrs. Bai who was still in such a bad state but still worried about the family. She stood in front of the bed with some distress and consoled her:

"Don't worry, old lady, the master is not unreasonable. Didn't you also say that there is no overnight hatred between father and daughter? The third lady is just angry that the Bai family abandoned her at that time, but she is a child after all and still hopes to be able to Loved by his father and grandmother.”

Although Aunt Qin said this on the surface, she had a strong feeling in her heart that the third lady might not return to the Bai family again.

Thinking of the girl's determined but cold eyes, Aunt Qin couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

The third young lady is a good child, but unfortunately neither the old lady nor the master like her.

Now among the daughters of the Bai family, only the third young lady is living the best life. It stands to reason that the second young lady will have a good life when she becomes the third prince's concubine. It's a pity that the third prince...

After something like this happened that everyone in the city knew about, the second young lady would be left alone and helpless without an heir, and it would only be a superficial beauty.

Mrs. Bai seemed to have aged several years in an instant these days. She stared at the bed curtain with cloudy eyes and continued:

"I don't know how the third girl's mother died back then. If I had been willing to take care of her, maybe the third girl wouldn't be so alienated from us today."

Mrs. Bai regretted a little, but it seemed a little late.

Bai Zhaoyi's biological mother, Mrs. Qiao, was not from a high background. When Bai Shaoyuan was at the height of his official career, he took a fancy to Mrs. Qiao's beauty at a glance and took her back to his house, took possession of her body and became his aunt.

At first, Mrs. Qiao tried to escape from the house countless times, but she was caught back by the guards every time without any accident. Just when she was so desperate that she wanted to die, Mrs. Qiao suddenly became pregnant.

After having her daughter, Mrs. Qiao finally couldn't let go of her child and gave up her original idea, so she stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion and wanted to keep her daughter growing up safely.

However, Mrs. Qiao's appearance was one of the best even in the capital. Bai Shaoyuan rested in Mrs. Qiao's room for several days in a row. This angered the jealous Mrs. Chen, who eventually ended up with such a tragic end.

How can I protect myself if I have no beauty and no family background?

"Old Madam, if you are not feeling well, you should rest early today." Aunt Qin lowered her eyes and stepped forward to tuck Madam Bai's quilt and then silently withdrew.

What’s the use of regretting it until now?

Bai Zhaoyi received the letter from Bai Mansion, read it over and couldn't help but feel a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.

Can Bai Shaoyuan really be able to be so humble and beg him to help him when facing him?

"Sanxiang, if you tell me to go down, tell me that I have a cold and can hardly get out of bed. I won't have dinner with Aunt Nan tonight. I will go to Jishi Hall to call Lonicera here. Remember, the louder the noise, the better." Well, it’s best to let everyone in the city know.”

Bai Zhaoyi raised the corners of his mouth in a bad way, and the light in his eyes kept flickering.

Bai Shaoyuan is coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so what?

Will she see him when he comes?

Tanxiang took the letter in Bai Zhaoyi's hand and read it quickly. She looked helplessly and amusedly at her young lady's obviously healthy and rosy face and smiled:

"The young lady didn't want to see Mr. Bai, so she sent someone to block him outside the eldest princess's house. Why did she still pretend to be sick? I don't know how worried the eldest princess would be after hearing this."

Anyone with eyes can see the care and love that the eldest princess has for her young lady. If she knew that her young lady was sick, she would be so worried that she would not even be able to sleep well.

Bai Zhaoyi leaned lazily on the beauty's couch, gently touched the phoenix jade bracelet on her wrist with her fingers, smiled faintly and said:

"Of course I have to tell Aunt Nan that I'm pretending to be sick. She's not in good health and can't accompany me like that. As for Bai Shaoyuan, everyone in the city knows that I'm seriously ill, but he still insists on seeing me. You What will the people think of him?"
