Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 36: Family Origin

Qiao Lili lowered her eyes. This girl was too violent. However, she was really a good person.

Madam Hui's stern voice followed: "General Bai, don't you know that you can't call a girl's name casually? You were born in a marquis's mansion, so you wouldn't be ignorant of this most basic rule, right? Or, now that you are a general, you think that your status and position allow you to be rude to the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion!"

It is said that you should not hit people in the face and should not expose their shortcomings when scolding them. Now, slapping them in the face and exposing their shortcomings is a double blow and a double pleasure.

If Nanny Hui didn't say anything, it would be fine. But once she did, it was a high-frequency attack. First, she covered up the fact that Cai Xing acted on her own initiative to hit someone, then she reminded people of the Marquis Bai who was stripped of his title and his glorious deeds, and then made people think that Bai Junzhe was not a good guy either. The last sentence was, General, who gave you the title?

Qiao Lili gave Nanny Hui a thumbs up in her heart. It was really great. She really learned a lot.

"Haha, he is worthy of being the son of Lord Bai. He is always in love with his female cousin. He is even better than his father."

"His father, Lord Bai, was stripped of his title because of this incident. Could it be that he was not rewarded because of this?"

"Haha, you're right. The censor reported that he was dating his cousin and ignored the engaged daughter of Duke Dingguo. The emperor felt that he was not worthy of Miss Qiao, so he cancelled the engagement in person at the court meeting and said that there was no position suitable for him."

Qiao Lili must let everyone know that it was his fault that the engagement was cancelled first, and then the emperor gave the order, so she was just an insignificant prop.

"Let's see which brothel in the capital city is in need of a manager. He has a family background in this field and will definitely be able to take on the job. We should pass on the knowledge to the family."

This sentence is very damaging. If it gets to the emperor's ears, and if the emperor wants to use him, then the court will become a brothel. When Qiao Lili realized this, the people in Dingguo Mansion also realized this and quickly guided public opinion.

"Our General Bai Xiao, who has made many military achievements, is not very good at martial arts. A girl can slap him. No wonder he needs a female cousin to save his life."

With Bai Junzhe's martial arts skills, if he fought with Caixing with real swords and guns, Caixing should have been defeated. The reason why he was defeated by Caixing in one go was that Caixing caught him off guard. He was still immersed in infinite regret for breaking off the engagement with Qiao Lili, and he was slapped twice unexpectedly. When he wanted to fight back, he was knocked to the ground by a few words from Nanny Hui, and he lost all desire to fight.

"I'm sorry, I overstepped my authority." He was beaten, but he still had to apologize. His anger turned into a sweet and fishy taste that surged in his chest, but he suppressed it forcefully. If he was angry enough to spit blood at the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion by a maid or a nanny, his reputation would be ruined. If he let such a person lead the troops to the battlefield, he would probably be questioned by everyone.

"This is Miss Lou Xinyue. She is my savior."

Qiao Lili tilted her head slightly, pretending to have just learned something, "Ah, since she is General Bai's savior, shouldn't she be treated as an honored guest, taken good care of, treated as her own adopted parents, and taken care of and buried with her in her old age, wearing mourning clothes, and smashing pots and flags? How could you bear to let her kneel at the door of someone else's house for more than an hour?"

Their original intention was to let others know that Qiao Lili forced Bai Junzhe's savior to kneel down and apologize to her, but now, Qiao Lili's words can only make everyone think that it was Bai Junzhe who treated his savior harshly.

"Miss Lou felt that she caused you to misunderstand and that's why we broke off our engagement, so she wanted to come and explain today. Since you didn't want to see her, she had to kneel down and beg you to meet her." Only then did Bai Junzhe say what he had thought of at home.

Qiao Lili raised her hand, signaling him to stop. "First of all, I don't know this girl, so there is no misunderstanding. Didn't the emperor cancel the engagement? If she wants to explain, shouldn't she go to the palace to ask the emperor for an explanation?"

"How could the emperor see her?" Bai Junzhe blurted out.

"If the emperor doesn't want to see her, she can kneel down and beg." Kneeling at the gate of the palace, are they really brave? It's quicker to seek death than this, and if they want to die, they want to kill their whole family.

"You don't dare, right? You don't dare to kneel in the palace, but you dare to kneel in front of the Duke Dingguo's mansion. Do you think that the Duke Dingguo's mansion is a soft persimmon?"

"You knelt down, I came out, you explained, I listened, and you can go back." Qiao Lili said straightforwardly without any hesitation.

At this time, the onlookers were outraged again: "This is just bullying."

"Bullying Duke Dingguo is not at home."

"Bullying the elderly, weak, women and children at home."

"But we don't agree."

“Yes, we don’t agree.”

Qiao Lili thought to herself that next time this happened, she would serve them some good tea with melon seeds and peanuts on the side.
