Yijing, Baifu
In the study room of the White Mansion at night, Bai Wanhao was sitting at the main seat. Bai Changrong and his wife Hu, and Bai Changrong and his wife Cui were on both sides. The expressions of the five members of the family were all very serious, and the atmosphere in the room was also very dignified. ······················
He glanced at his two sons and daughter-in-law, and seeing that no one had any intention of speaking first, Bai Wanhao took the initiative to look at his eldest son Bai Changrong and asked:
"Evergreen, is there any news from the Attendance Department? Why does the Marshal want to hear your report on his duties?"
Bai Changrong, who already had a solemn look on his face, suddenly shook his head with a bitter look on his face and said:
"I submitted the memorial ten days ago, but the attendants were completely silent and never gave me any response!"
Although he had expected it, Bai Wanhao couldn't help but feel his heart sink when he heard this answer. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Bai Changrong very seriously and asked:
"Evergreen, I have a question, and you have to answer me honestly!"
Seeing his father being so serious, Bai Changrong nodded seriously and said, although he didn't know what the problem was.
"Dad, if you want to ask anything, just ask, and Evergreen will tell you the truth!"
Seeing Bai Changrong's eyes without any hesitation, Bai Wanhao asked in a calm voice:
"Did you do anything corrupt or illegal during your time in Dongning?"
Bai Changrong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and said helplessly:
"Dad, when the Fengwu Army first rectified military discipline, you told me that the Fengwu Army is different from other armies. Ye Mingsheng is a man who does big things. Let me follow him to win the title of wife and son-in-law. Let us My family will one day become a noble family. My son has not forgotten a word of your words and has kept them in his heart..."
"When I was in the Liao Army, I collected money, but in the Fengwu Army Changrong, I did my duty and I didn't dare to bend the law for personal gain. I have a clear conscience about this, and your father still gives me so much money every year to support my life. , I don’t have much expenses in the military camp, and I don’t lack money at all, so why do I need to do such a thing?”
Although Bai Changrong said he was wronged and Bai Wanhao wanted to believe his son, in order to find out the truth of the matter, he still closed his eyes and spoke with determination:
"Changrong, if you really have a clear conscience, swear an oath to me in your mother's name!"
As soon as these words came out, the other four people in the room had a look of surprise on their faces. Mrs. Hu, who was sitting aside, cared about her husband. After a moment of hesitation, she finally warned Bai Wanhao:
"Our whole family knows who Dad Changrong is. Since he said so, he really didn't take it. Why bother my mother-in-law?"
After Hu finished speaking, Bai Jiujiu followed suit and warned:
"Dad, my sister-in-law is right. We all know the character of my eldest brother. If the handsome man doesn't see his eldest brother, there may be something else wrong with him!"
Faced with the dissuasion from his son and daughter-in-law, Bai Wanhao sat with his eyes closed and didn't say a word. Seeing this, Bai Changrong, who was also silent, also made a decision. He stood up, walked to and knelt down in front of Bai Wanhao. , then with a sad look on his face, he said very seriously:
"The unfilial son Bai Changrong has sworn that if I am involved in any corruption or perversion of the law in the Fengwu Army, my mother, Cao, will never have peace under Jiuquan... "
After hearing his son's tearful oath, Bai Wanhao finally believed what his eldest son said. Bai Changrong and Bai Changrong were both children of Bai Wanhao's wife, Cao. The two sons were also very filial to their mothers, but what happened to Cao She passed away due to illness three years ago, and the two Bai brothers were very sad about this. Now that Bai Changrong dares to swear in the name of his mother, it naturally shows that he really has a clear conscience.
Bai Wanhao stood up and personally raised his eldest son who was kneeling on the ground, patted Bai Changrong on the shoulder and gave him an apologetic look.
As the supreme commander of the Fengwu Army, Ye Mingsheng is still very diligent. Although the day is already very full with various schedule meetings, Ye Mingsheng is also very serious about the matters where the commander-in-chief of the various regions come back to report on their duties. , under normal circumstances, it will take three to five days to receive you and listen to your work report.
And like Bai Changrong's memorial, he has not been interviewed for ten days. It can almost be said that it has never happened before. This is why Bai Wanhao is so worried. In his opinion, Ye Mingsheng's actions may be a release. Some kind of political signal, and most of this political signal is not good for Bai Changrong, or even bad for the Bai family.
After asking about his eldest son, Bai Wanhao turned his attention to his younger son Bai Changjiu and his daughter-in-law Cui, and slowly said:
"Jiujiu, you have a lot of friends as an errand in Yi Jing. Have you heard anything about your eldest brother?"
At this point, Bai Jiujiu shook his head without thinking and said:
"My colleague in the Chief Secretary's office has a younger brother who works in the Auxiliary Department. I really relied on his relationship to ask for news about his eldest brother, but he didn't know anything... ·········”
When Bai Jiujiu was talking, his wife Cui's eyes flickered, as if she had thought of something. Bai Wanhao also noticed this keenly. When Bai Jiujiu finished speaking, he asked Cui:
"Second daughter-in-law, if you know anything, just tell me!"
Hearing what Bai Wanhao said, Cui hesitated and said slowly:
"I heard someone say when I went back to my parents' home before that when the marshal returned home after fighting in Jiyu, he made a special trip to see his third sister. It seemed that the third sister mentioned his eldest brother's affairs to the marshal, which made him very unhappy! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room looked shocked, and Bai Wanhao looked even more annoyed. He had already begun to regret why he let his daughter blow pillows on Ye Mingsheng.
After thinking for a long time, Bai Wanhao looked at Cui again and said:
"Is there any remedy for this matter?"
After the words fell, Bai Changrong, his wife and Bai Changrong, as well as Bai Changrong, all looked at Cui. Feeling the worry in everyone's eyes, Cui quickly comforted and said:
"Dad, don't worry too much at this time. Third sister is still pregnant. The commander-in-chief certainly doesn't like to be too angry. Even if he is a little angry, the anger in the commander-in-chief's heart will disappear when the little one is born. Yes, not to mention that the relationship between the third sister and Mrs. An is very good. With Mrs. An mediating between them, nothing will happen to the third sister and the eldest brother... ············”
Bai Wanhao nodded after hearing this, but after hesitating for a moment, he looked at Cui again and asked:
"I would like to meet Master Cui. Can you introduce me to my second daughter-in-law?"
Although there are many members of the Cui family serving in the government, Ms. Cui obviously knows who Master Cui Bai Wanhao is referring to. She said with some embarrassment:,
"Dad, you actually opened your mouth. I will definitely help you introduce him. However, Third Uncle is in a high position and has many things to do. The Chief Secretary is also very busy during this period. I'm afraid he won't have much time during this period!"
Although Bai Wanhao felt a little unhappy after understanding the polite refusal in Cui's words, since this matter was of great importance to the future development of the family, Bai Wanhao still said shamelessly:
"I know Mr. Cui is busy with government affairs, so I won't interrupt you too much, and I'm willing to wait!"
Seeing that her husband and father were talking about this, it would be really disrespectful if she didn't agree, so Cui nodded and said:
"Dad, I understand. I will go back to my parents' house tomorrow to talk to my third uncle!"
After receiving this answer, Bai Wanhao nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Very good! If this matter is completed, second daughter-in-law, you will have made a great contribution to our family!"
After chatting for a while, seeing that the night was already dark, Bai Wanhao asked everyone to go back and rest.
Bai Changjiu and Mrs. Cui returned to the room. Ms. Cui asked the maid to light the kerosene lamp and remove her makeup in front of the mirror. At this moment, a pair of big hands hugged her slender waist. Ms. Cui did not react to such a sudden attack. He was somewhat surprised but laughed and cursed:
"What do you want to do, you bastard?"
Bai Changjiu, who was behind her, was smelling his wife's black hair intoxicatedly. His big hands became dishonest, and he asked in his mouth:
"Madam, why do you think our father wants to see the third uncle..."
Mrs. Cui was also a little confused and fascinated by Bai Changjiu. Her cheeks were red and she said with a smile:
"Thanks to your experience as Chief Secretary, you haven't seen your father's intention yet. Your father wants to hug my third uncle's lap. The handsome man doesn't like women doing politics, but there is only one exception, that is the old lady. , The handsome man is a filial man. If the old lady says something nice to your sister, then the handsome man will probably disappear, and your eldest brother will also turn the bad luck into good luck!"
Listening to Mr. Cui saying that his father was hugging his thigh, Bai Changjiu felt a little uncomfortable, but he still said:
"Then for the sake of our family, madam, you must do your best!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cui said with silky eyebrows:
"If you want me to help, you have to look at your performance, otherwise I won't be too lazy to ask for help!"
As soon as he said this, Bai Jiujiu still didn't understand. He smiled, picked up Mrs. Cui by the waist and said:
"Madam, please rest assured, my husband will definitely satisfy me tonight!"

Yijing, Governor's Mansion
The beauty in the room was playing the piano, and the melodious sound of the piano spread throughout the courtyard, while Ye Mingsheng was leaning on the chair with his eyes closed, listening to the melodious sound of the piano.
After playing the song for a long time, Ye Mingsheng opened his eyes and praised Murong Qingwu in front of him sincerely:
"Qing Wu, you play so well. After listening to your song, my whole body relaxed a lot!"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's compliment, Murong Qingwu smiled lightly and said:
"My husband is so complimentary. I haven't been with you for a long time and I'm already very unfamiliar!"
Holding Murong Qingwu's jade hand, Ye Mingsheng said some affectionate words between husband and wife. Murong Qingwu said that his face was blushing with shame. Seeing that the atmosphere was enough, Ye Mingsheng held Murong Qingwu in his arms. He said earnestly:
"Qing Wu, don't resent your uncle. He had no choice but to remove your family from the family tree. He is protecting you... ·”
Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, although he didn't understand what Ye Mingsheng meant, Murong Qingwu still said very seriously:
"Since Qing Wu is married to her husband, she is a member of the Ye family and has nothing to do with the Murong family!"
Listening to Murong Qingwu's words, a faint smile appeared on Ye Mingsheng's face. Seeing the serious expression on her face, he couldn't help but press his red lips until he kissed Murong Qingwu until he could hardly breathe. After getting angry, Ye Mingsheng let her go.
Although Murong Qingwu was a concubine in the Ye Mansion, as the direct daughter of the Murong family, she was considered a very special existence in the Ye Mansion. However, with the public opinion war between the Fengwu Army and the Luo'an court, Murong Qingwu's The situation also took a turn for the worse.
First, Murong Lun removed Murong Yuliang's family and Murong Hui from the Murong family's genealogy, causing them to lose their identity as the Murong family and their great backer. Secondly, they were promoted to Luo'an court officials under exceptional circumstances. Murong Lun, the Minister of the Ministry, also acted as a vanguard against the Fengwu Army and publicly denounced Ye Mingsheng as a traitor, which immediately aroused the anger within the Fengwu Army.
Although Murong Yuliang and Murong quickly expressed their attitude towards Fengwu Army and Ye Mingsheng, and drew a clear line between them and their eldest brother and father, there was still someone in the Ye Mansion who brought something against Murong. Qingwu was in a weird mood, Murong Qingwu didn't argue with these people, and suffered some grievances...
"You and your family, including Murong Hui, have already drawn a clear line with Murong Lun and are on Ye's side at this time. Naturally, I can trust you. I have already given the order. Who in the house will be gossiping in the future?" No matter who it is, they will be severely punished!" Gently scratching Murong Qingwu's face, Ye Mingsheng said with a smile:
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, Murong Qingwu, who had suffered a lot of grievances these days, couldn't help but feel a little moved in his eyes. Two lines of clear tears flowed from the corners of his eyes and he whispered:
"Thank you husband!"
After wiping the tears on Murong Qingwu's face, Ye Mingsheng said with a smile:
"Don't worry, as long as I am here, no one can bully you!"
After comforting Murong Qingwu for a while, Ye Mingsheng spoke to her ear again and made an agreement with her to have a baby together tonight. Then he turned and left in Murong Qingwu's embarrassed voice, and walked out of Murong Qingwu. Looking at Murong Qingwu who was standing at the door watching him leave, Ye Mingsheng smiled and waved his hand, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
"Qing Wu, it would be great if you were not born into the Murong family. Maybe we could really..."
