Chapter 376 Storm Rising

The stunned Bai Pingting looked a little silly. Xue Zheng and the others saw it all and gave Qi Zixi a thumbs up. This vase really lives up to its name.

Qiongzhu County Master did not know that Bai Pingting had been paying attention to her, and continued to chat with Feng Hongyu happily.

The fifth prince stared at Wen Yuanliang and wanted to speak several times, but the third prince on the left was chatting, and the sixth prince was jumping off on the right. They were better than him when they picked them up. They didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

Wen Yuanliang naturally noticed it, but he wouldn't take the initiative to find trouble for himself.

Under such circumstances, the fifth prince couldn't ask anything until the banquet was over. His mood was not so bad, but the third prince didn't realize it. Seeing that he was not in a good mood, he even said with concern, "Brother fifth prince. It's better to go back to rest early, and we brothers will meet again another day."

The fifth prince reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then left without looking back. One Wen Yuanliang cannot ruin his warm image that he has been in for many years.

After sending the fifth prince away, Wen Yuanliang also said goodbye to the third prince and the sixth prince, and watched them leave. The other guests then left. When everyone was almost gone, they also got into the carriage and returned to the Wen residence in Liu'an Lane. Continue to sit for a while.

On the other side, Bai Jingming accompanied several princes back to the palace before returning home. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to Bai Pingting's yard, and before he made a sound, he heard a faint cry from inside, "Why...why. How dare I mustered up to see him! How could he ignore me! How could he! Woohoo”

"Miss, don't cry, Zhuangyuan Wen didn't look at you because he was embarrassed, so many people were there at that time!" Lilac persuaded bitterly.

Bai Pingting continued to cry, "Lilac, where did you say Wen Zhuangyuan's wife came from? Why did you meet Qiongzhu County Master? I have a family background and looks, and I can't compare to her!"

The door was kicked open with a bang.

The master and servant in the room were all startled, and they all fell silent when they met Bai Jingming's gloomy face.

"Big Brother!" Bai Pingting stood up with a guilty conscience.

Bai Jingming pursed his lips, sternly told Lilac to go out, then sat down silently, looked at his sister, and said slowly, "I always thought you knew exactly what you wanted, what our family wanted, but I didn't expect that. You are so stupid, thinking about a married man!"

Bai Pingting raised her head abruptly with tears in her eyes, "Brother, I just want to marry the person I like, what's wrong? Since ancient times, there have been many people who have been caught on the list, are they all unmarried? "

With a snap, Bai Jingming slapped the table angrily, "That's why you shamelessly miss someone's husband! You are shameless, and our Bai family needs shame! You don't have to be human, we have to be human! Have you ever thought about your father? You're just a small sixth-rank manor, what qualifications do you have to learn to act like a powerful person?"

Yes, since ancient times, there have been many arrests of sons-in-law, but which of those people are not dignitaries, and they are ordinary people who are not ordinary in the capital, why do such things.

Bai Pingting cried even more miserably, but Bai Jingming was in a rage and continued to reprimand: "It's just that I can't figure it out, and I'm so stupid that I don't even know the details of others, so I dare to marry Xiao Xiang. , are you filled with feces? You are really blind to this good appearance!"

Bai Pingting was scolded by her eldest brother, but she asked, "Then what is Zhuangyuan Wen's background? Who is his wife?"

Bai Jingming was shocked and looked at his sister in disbelief. He said so much, this girl didn't hear a word at all, and Wen Zhuangyuan was the one who was satisfied! It's just being tricked!

Seeing that Bai Jingming didn't answer, Bai Pingting said to herself, "I knew you were bluffing me, then Zhuangyuan Wen is clearly not from the capital, so even if he married a wife, he couldn't be any lady, right? You can know Qiongzhu County Master. , there must be other reasons, if I fight for one or two more, I will definitely get my wish.”

"Crack!" Bai Jingming slapped Bai Pingting fiercely and shouted angrily: "Shameless! Want to know about Wen Zhuangyuan's situation? Good! Let me tell you! Although he Wen Yuanliang is not from the capital, he is from Mobei. You don't need to know who Master Zhuo is, you just need to know that Master Zhuo's eldest brother is Wen Yuanliang's father-in-law, and your so-called first-class lady is the daughter of Zhuo Mingxuan, a servant of the Ministry of Industry! Zhuo family! Just because of your background, you are not even qualified to be on an equal footing with Mrs. Wen, how can you compare yourself to others!"

Bai Pingting was shaken by Bai Jingming's words.

Bai Jingming didn't let her go, and continued: "In the past, I saw you being aloof and reserved, I thought you were smart, and I was very relieved of you. Today, it seems that you are used to being lawless and stupid. I think about it behind closed doors at home, don’t take half a step out of the house, if you don’t follow it, I’ll treat it as if I don’t have a person like you in my Bai family!”

"Big Brother!" Bai Pingting shouted sternly.

Bai Jingming turned around ruthlessly and left without looking back. Bai Pingting's situation is very dangerous, she must marry someone as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Bai Jingming turned around and went to Bai Fucheng's study.

When the father and son were contemplating which prince to give Bai Pingting as their concubine, the housekeeper suddenly ran in in a panic, and reported in a panic: "Master, the eldest son, it's not good, the emperor ordered the imperial army to copy it. The third room of Ouyang's family, the minister of punishment, the minister of ritual, and the imperial emissary went to Chen Ge's hometown. Lord Censor Zhang was demoted, and the left commander of Shenji Ying, Lord Huang, was arrested, and five or six adults from the department of ritual and punishment entered. At the Dali Temple, the Hanlin Academy. More than half of the officials were implicated."

"Hey!" The father and son of the Bai family gasped and asked in horror, "Where did the news come from, but is it true?"

The housekeeper nodded again and again, "It's true, Lord Shao Zhanshi sent someone here to remind you to be vigilant during this time. Although His Royal Highness the Prince has no possibility of succeeding to the throne, we still have to be a little careful, and don't be in the middle of nowhere. Something went wrong on this cusp."

Bai Fucheng murmured anxiously: "This is natural, by the way, do you know what the imperial envoy went to Chen Ge's hometown?"

The housekeeper shook his head, "Master, I don't dare to send someone to inquire at this time, and I won't be able to find out some news until the wind blows over."

Bai Fucheng grabbed his bald head with few hairs and sighed, "I originally wanted to use your sister as a treasure, thinking that the fifth prince is the most favored among the princes, and marrying your sister to him can also help you in the future. Fight for the future, who would have known such a thing would happen! Could it be that the fifth prince fell out of favor?"
