She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

He finally established a relationship with Chu Tingyu, and was led by Li Jingwan. He made contributions in the northwest war and was rewarded by the emperor, which was extremely honorable.

Once the northwest is flat, he will definitely have no problem becoming an imperial merchant, and the Bai family's rapid rise to prominence is just around the corner.

Who would have thought that such a thing would suddenly happen. If not handled properly, not only would the future be hindered, but the Bai family might be finished.

"Master Bai, please get up." Li Jingwan advised, "You are a junior, I can't stand it."

Bai Hong raised his head, his forehead was red and swollen, and his face was terrified.

"My Lord, I deserve to die. I am ashamed. I have failed to live up to your trust..."

"Master Bai, the person you feel the most sorry for is not me." Li Jingwan interrupted him, "Bai Yiyi is the victim."

"Do you know what the Chen mother and daughter would have done to her if I hadn't happened to run into her and saved her today?"

Bai Hong looked at the slight anger in her eyes and became even more nervous.

Li Jingwan sneered, "They want to sell Bai Yiyi to a brothel as a prostitute, scratch her face and destroy her appearance, and spread rumors that she eloped with a man."

Bai Hong was horrified, and stuttered in shock, "They... they are so brave, I will definitely teach them a lesson."

"Lesson?" Li Jingwan sneered.

"Last time at Madam Bai's birthday party, when they were smearing Bai Yiyi's reputation, you also said you would teach her a lesson and that such a thing would never happen again."

"But, they became even worse."

"Don't say that this has nothing to do with you and you are completely unaware of it." Li Jingwan sneered, "If it weren't for your connivance and your indifference to Bai Yiyi, how could the Chen mother and daughter dare to do such a cruel thing?"

"Also, Bai Yiyi is in the mansion every day. Have you ever said a few words of concern to her? Now that something happened, you remembered that you still have this daughter and ran here to look for her? Don't you know why she doesn't go home?"

Bai Hong's face turned red because of what she said.

Indeed, although he punished Chen and ignored her last time, he could not resist her pleas for mercy later, and the two reconciled as before.

Although Chen was a concubine, her status in the mansion remained unchanged. Perhaps this contributed to her thoughts and led to today's consequences.

If he were honest with himself, he had paid little attention to his eldest daughter since Bai Yiyi's mother passed away. It seemed that every time it was Chen or Bai Lixuan who complained, he would get angry and punish Bai Yiyi.

The father and daughter gradually became estranged, to the point that after Bai Yiyi got into trouble, she would rather stay outside than go back.

Bai Hong lowered his head and remained silent for a while, his tone guilty.

"The princess is right. It is indeed my fault. As Yiyi's father, I didn't care enough about her. I allowed my aunt to run rampant in the mansion and almost harmed Yiyi."

"I am ashamed..." He choked up a bit, "I am really ashamed of Yiyi and her biological mother."

Seeing that he had realized his mistake, Li Jingwan softened her tone.

"Master Bai, the Pacification Office will review this case tomorrow. You should know what to do."

"I understand." Bai Hong nodded and said solemnly.

"I promise that I will never let Yiyi suffer any injustice again, and I will never let the princess down again."

-

Because Qi Ming brought the runners from the Pacification Office to Bai's house, the news spread throughout Tacheng that day and everyone was talking about it.

Therefore, when the trial opened the next day, many people were watching outside the court.

The case involved the safety of the princess, so Gao Yuanjia interrogated all the people involved in the case overnight. The case was not complicated and was quickly solved.

Gao Yuanjia ordered Chen's mother and daughter and others to be brought up and told them the whole case.

"Ms. Chen, you and your daughter Bai Lixuan have always hated Bai Yiyi. You have targeted and embarrassed her many times in the Bai Mansion. Recently, after being demoted to a concubine, you have been resentful of Bai Yiyi, so you came up with this vicious plan."

"You and your daughter bribed Bai Yiyi's maid and put a knockout drug in her breakfast. After Bai Yiyi fell unconscious, you wanted to send her out of the mansion, but when the princess came to visit Bai Yiyi, you lied and said she had left."

"Bai Lixuan hid Bai Yiyi in the side room. After the princess left, you asked the maid to put Bai Yiyi in a box and transport her out, but the princess caught you. You two were so angry that you ordered the servants to stop them and even tried to assassinate the princess. Fortunately, the bailiffs arrived in time and stopped your evil deeds."

"In your original plan, Bai Yiyi would be disfigured and then sold to a brothel in Liaocheng. You would lie to the outside world that Bai Yiyi eloped with her lover, prevent the Bai family from looking for her, and ruin her reputation at the same time."

"Do you plead guilty to all of the above?"

As soon as the words fell, the onlookers began to talk, condemning the Chen mother and daughter for their viciousness and audacity.

Chen argued, "Sir, I just had a conflict with Bai Yiyi, and I knocked her out just to scare her. I had no other intentions."

Bai Lixuan also refused to admit it.

However, in the face of witnesses and evidence, the mother and daughter could no longer make excuses.

The trial requires identification, Bai Yiyi was called up, and Li Jingwan and Bai Hong accompanied her.

Chen changed direction and kowtowed to Bai Yiyi, begging for mercy.

"My dear Miss, I was confused for a moment. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just unhappy that the master was alienating me, so I wanted to hide you to make him worry."

"Miss, please...please let me go, please explain to the adults that I don't want to hurt you."

Bai Lixuan also knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Sister, I was just joking. We are a family, how could I hurt you? Sister, for the sake of me being your sister, please forgive me this time."

Bai Yiyi's face was grim. "Do you remember now that we are a family? When you hurt me yesterday and said those words to me, wasn't I from the Bai Mansion?"

"I will not forgive you." She snorted, "You have done evil, and you must bear the consequences."

This approach didn't work, so Chen turned to Bai Hong, hoping to impress him with their years of marital love.

Bai Hong had made up his mind and was not at all soft-hearted, not even willing to look at her.

"Master, you can't just stand by and watch me die, master." Chen wailed and simply hugged his legs tightly.

"Master, I have served you for so many years. Please spare me this time, Master..."

There was a heated argument in the courtroom. Gao Yuanjia slammed the gavel heavily, "Silence!"

The hall suddenly became quiet.

At this time, Li Jingwan smiled.

"Ms. Chen, you committed murder and forced a good woman into prostitution. You have violated the law. The law has the final say on whether to forgive you or not. Do you think this is still the Bai Mansion and you can get away with it by letting you act like a spoiled brat?"

Chen was stunned, and Bai Hong took the opportunity to push her away and said loudly, "Master Gao, I have already written a divorce letter and expelled Chen from the Bai Mansion. She has nothing to do with the Bai Mansion..."
