As soon as Wei Miaochun said that, he left with a group of maids.
The door of the elegant room was closed again, and Bai Yuan sat back on the soft cushion, silently looking sideways at the snowy scene outside.
Wei Ziwen looked worried. Looking at Bai Yuan's lonely expression with a lowered brow, he whispered: "What are Brother Bai's plans?"
Bai Yu'an turned around, Yu Bai's fingers rubbed the tea cup: "I don't have any plans."
"If the Queen Mother really demotes me and exiles me because of this matter, I will bear the responsibility."
Wen Changqing became angry after hearing this: "You couldn't have said a few nice words to Princess Jianing at that time?"
"Otherwise, why would the trouble come to this?"
Bai Yu'an sighed and looked at Wen Changqing with a faint eyebrow: "If I want to seek temporary peace, I can naturally follow her."
"But she intends to take human life lightly, how can I bear it any longer."
A Tao next to him wiped his eyes and cried: "What should I do, Master?"
Wei Ziwen glanced at A Tao, frowned and said to Bai Yu'an: "If that Princess Jianing really goes to complain to the Queen Mother, you will most likely be demoted."
"At this time, it would be better for you to go to the uncle's house in person tonight to plead guilty."
Wen Changqing also said: "It doesn't matter whether you marry the princess or not, you should lower your posture first and let the uncle's house see your attitude of respectfully admitting your mistakes."
"Being demoted to a bitter cold place is no joke. A weakling like you will definitely not be able to bear it."
Bai Yu'an couldn't help but frown when he heard these words, and said with lowered eyebrows: "If the Queen Mother is a reasonable person, then she will know that it is reasonable for me not to marry Princess Jianing."
"If the Queen Mother uses her power to demote me, I will have no intention of staying here anymore, and I will have nothing to say if I am demoted."
Wei Ziwen looked at Bai Yu'an and said, slightly hating the indestructible nature of steel: "You are the top pick in the first class of high school, and you have a bright future. Have you forgotten your original ambition of studying Qi Zhiping?"
"The marriage in my hometown has not yet concluded. You can write a letter back and ask your father to make peace for you. If that doesn't work, you can persuade the princess to take her over with her. Isn't that okay?"
"Why do you have to be so stubborn?"
After hearing Wei Ziwen's words, Bai Yu'an was stunned for a moment and then stood up.
She looked at Wei Ziwen and said with a cold face: "If I want to be such a villain for the sake of a high official and a good salary, I will not feel at ease even if I rise to prominence in the future."
"Brother Wei and I can't agree to get along after all, so let's just say goodbye today."
When Wen Changqing saw Bai Yu'an was about to leave, he quickly grabbed her Baixiu and said, "Brother Wei is also thinking about you. Why does Brother Bai have to be so honest?"
"Who among the people in high positions today is innocent?"
"Official circles are a pool of muddy water, so why can't Brother Bai get a little mud from it?"
Bai Yu'an's eyes were a little sad, Qingshan's eyebrows gradually lowered, he looked at Wen Changqing and said in a low voice: "I knew that the officialdom was a muddy water, and I also knew that the people in it would never be able to escape safely."
"It's just that what I receive is the salary from the imperial court, and it's the blood and sweat of the people."
"Those in high positions abuse their power and oppress the people, and they turn into moths one by one and line their own pockets."
"Brother Wen, you are also involved in the stinking of wine and meat. Can you really stand it?"
Wen Changqing also stood up, pulled Bai Yu'an and couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "For a moment, the world will be brighter. When you get to a high position with the help of the uncle's house in the future, it will not be too late for you to be upright!"
Bai Yu'an shook his head and looked at Wen Changqing intently: "Do you know how much money Wei Shangshu, the father of Princess Jianing, embezzled from the treasury? I can't flatter anyone, let alone bend to the powerful."
"I'm just a scholar. No matter what the final outcome is, I will accept it."
After Bai Yu'an said this, he cupped his hands to the two people in the room and walked out without looking back.
In the private room next door, the man sitting opposite Shen Jue looked at the figure in white walking past the door through the half-open door, and said in surprise to Shen Jue opposite: "I didn't expect that the man next to me was named Bai Yu. An, you’re really a bit proud.”
As he spoke, he sighed again: "But it's a pity that such a person has offended someone."
"I have never heard anyone playing the piano better than him."
The man who spoke was dressed in dark green brocade clothes, with long hair tied high. Although his skin was slightly dark, he had deep eyebrows and starry eyes.
Compared with the opposite Shen Jue, there are some similarities.
It's just that he was sitting quite casually, with one leg propped up irregularly and an arm lazily draped over his knee, which was completely different from the upright sitting posture of Shen Jue opposite him.
Shen Jue drank tea slowly and looked out the window indifferently, as if he didn't hear what was said on the other side.
The scholar is just angry, but he still can't remember.
When the man opposite saw that Shen Jue was silent, he started talking about business: "Mother asked me to come over and send you a message, saying that you must go back to the Marquis Mansion tomorrow."
Shen Jue's eyes were like a pool of thick ink. After hearing this, he said calmly: "I've been busy with business lately, so I'm afraid I won't have time."
Shen Weichuan immediately didn't believe it when he heard it: "Don't say you are busy with business. If you are really busy, you won't have time to accompany me to paint boats for fun today."
Shen Jue really didn't have time to come here for fun, but he happened to meet Wen Changqing outside and heard that he was waiting for Bai Yu'an, so he came here.
He looked at Shen Weichuan and raised his eyebrows and said, "You do like to meddle in other people's business."
Shen Weichuan received Shen Jue's somewhat displeased look and quickly shouted: "Brother, how many days have I been back from Yuyang? I haven't even had a drink to reminisce about old times. How can I have all that free time?"
"My mother has been pestering me every day to ask you to go back."
As he spoke, Shen Weichuan came closer to Shen Jue and said with a smile: "If the eldest brother doesn't go back and take a look, what if the marriage proposal that the mother told the eldest brother turns out to be a crooked melon?"
Shen Jue tapped her fingers on the table, glanced at Shen Weichuan, paused for a moment and then looked away: "It's time to go back and take a look."
Shen Jue said, "How about I let you stay in the capital after the New Year?"
Shen Weichuan waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother, please don't. I am happy in Yuyang. I still have thousands of soldiers under my command. If those barbarians dare to come to attack Qiu Feng, I will lead them to kill them."
"Besides, Yuyang's beauties are bright and beautiful, and the wine is even stronger. It's boring to come back to the capital."
Shen Jue smiled: "Is it possible that you still plan to be a conductor in Yuyang for the rest of your life?"
Shen Weichuan also smiled: "Why not? Besides, there is a woman I like over there. I can stay there all my life."
As he spoke, Shen Weichuan approached Shen Jue and smiled flatteringly: "But if I stay there for a few more years and make some achievements, my eldest brother can promote me to the position of governor."
Shen Jue pushed Shen Weichuan's face away: "You are still too young to be the governor. Just wait another twenty years."
Shen Weichuan was unconvinced: "Twenty years from now I will be forty, and I don't know whether the eldest brother will be the chief assistant or not."
Shen Jue looked at Shen Weichuan and said, "What you said was said by one of your own family members."
Shen Weichuan was naturally joking. He apologized and said, "Brother, I've brought my words to you. If you don't go back then, I'll be really miserable."
Shen Jue smiled: "Don't worry."
Shen Weichuan breathed a sigh of relief and joked again: "Brother, there are not many suitable girls in the capital at your age. Don't choose any more this time."
"What if there are only ugly ones left in the future?"
Shen Jue raised his eyebrows and put a cup of tea on the table: "It seems that I have to transfer you back to Beijing so that the family can be reunited."
Shen Weichuan completely gave up and did not dare to make any more jokes.
Shen Jue turned his head and glanced at the figure in white on the bank from the window, his eyes moved.
