The carriage went directly back to Bai Mansion.
When the boy at the door helped Gu Baoyuan into the front yard, Bai Luozhu and Li hurried over after hearing the news. At a glance, they saw Gu Baoyuan, who was only wearing single clothes and bruised all over his body.
I couldn't help but cover my lips and screamed.
When Gu Baoyuan saw Bai Luozhu and saw that he was being taken to the Bai Mansion, he couldn't help frowning at Bai Luozhu and said, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you come over and help me!"
Bai Luozhu looked panicked and walked over quickly.
Mrs. Li next to her had a look of surprise on her face. She walked over to Bai Yuan, pulled her over and asked in a low voice, "Why is your brother-in-law like this?"
Bai Yu'an glanced at Gu Baoyuan and said simply: "Don't worry, mother. My brother-in-law was beaten by someone from a gambling house. It's nothing serious."
Just as he was talking, Bai Luozhu said to Bai Yu'an and Li: "Mother, fourth brother, I will take my husband back first and see a doctor for him."
Bai Yu'an walked up to Bai Luozhu, pulled Third Sister aside and whispered: "Third Sister, Yangjiang's gambling house probably won't ask Third Brother-in-law to gamble anymore, but if Third Brother-in-law still has bad habits after returning, "Change, go gamble somewhere else, and even attack you. Third sister must not bear it anymore. I will convince father to let you reconcile."
The redness and swelling on Bai Luozhu's face was better, but her eyes were red and swollen. She had obviously cried all afternoon.
She choked up and said, "Your third brother-in-law won't change. It's been two years, and every time he says he won't gamble, he still doesn't change."
"Now when I go back and see his two concubines, I feel upset. I don't know how to live this life."
Bai Yu'an whispered: "I will go and persuade my father to agree first. While the third sister's dowry is still there, the third sister can relax first and don't think too much."
Bai Luozhu leaned on Bai Yuan's shoulder and cried uncontrollably: "Fourth brother, you have only been back for two days, so don't worry about these troublesome things. Third sister doesn't want to embarrass you, and father is not that easy to talk to."
"You don't have to go to your father and tell him, otherwise he will scold you again."
Before Bai Luozhu finished speaking, Gu Baoyuan, who was standing not far away, couldn't help shouting to Bai Luozhu: "Why are you still dawdling? Why don't you come over and go back with me?"
Bai Yuan glanced at Gu Baoyuan coldly and patted Bai Luozhu on the back: "Third sister, you go first. I will come back to see you in two days."
Bai Luozhu wiped away her tears and nodded before walking towards Gu Baoyuan.
Mrs. Li watched worriedly from the side, and called the servant to help Bai Luozhu.
After the third sister left, Bai Yu'an followed her mother back.
Mrs. Li looked at Bai Yu'an and asked, "Why did you bring that beast home?"
Bai Yu'an smiled: "I originally passed by Gu's house just to give him some pain and tossing."
Mrs. Li couldn't help scolding him: "You're not afraid that something will happen to your third brother-in-law. It won't be your third sister who will take care of him then."
Bai Yu'an said: "Didn't the third brother-in-law take two concubines? Just let the concubine take care of her. If I were the third sister, I wouldn't take care of her. Who wants to take care of themselves?"
Mrs. Li sighed: "What you think is simple. Luo Zhu is still being pressured by her parents-in-law. How dare you do whatever you want as you said."
As they were walking, the housekeeper suddenly walked up to Bai Yu'an and said, "Fourth Young Master, the master is calling you."
Bai Yu'an looked at her mother: "Father is back?"
Mrs. Li nodded: "I've been back for a while, and I went to the study as soon as I came back."
"He doesn't care if Luo Zhu is crying in my room."
Bai Yu'an made a sound and was about to leave when Mrs. Li pulled her back and said, "Come to my place after you leave your father's house. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some delicious food for you."
Bai Yu'an smiled: "Okay."
As soon as he walked into his father's study, Bai Tongchun, who was sitting behind the table, frowned at Bai Yu'an and asked, "Did you go to the gambling house to find Gu Baoyuan?"
Bai Yu'an stood and looked at her father and whispered: "Today my brother-in-law beat the third sister again. I wanted to bring my brother-in-law back to apologize to the third sister."
"But seeing how the third brother-in-law was beaten in the gambling house today, let's forget it."
Bai Tongchun pursed his lips tightly: "You want a man to apologize to a woman? I think you have lost your mind from studying."
"You don't have to worry about these things from now on. Just take care of yourself."
Bai Yu'an frowned: "But the third sister is not an outsider, she is a member of the family. The family has been wronged, why don't you care?"
Bai Tongchun snorted coldly: "Your third sister will no longer be one of our own family when she gets married!"
Bai Yu'an was about to retort when his father asked: "Why was Gu Baoyuan beaten by the gambling shop?"
Bai Yu'an sat on a chair nearby and looked at her father: "The third brother-in-law lost all his money in the casino and came to take the money from me. I was afraid that my brother-in-law would lose again, so I argued with my brother-in-law and took the money back. "
"Someone stopped us later. I went upstairs to see my boss and wanted to ask him to be accommodating. But those people beat my brother-in-law first."
Bai Yu'an then looked at his father: "Father, the third brother-in-law has now gambled away most of his family wealth, and there are only two gambling shops left. If he continues gambling like this, he may lose his entire family."
"At that time, if the third brother-in-law owes another gambling debt, the people in the casino will not offend him. I am afraid that he will also implicate the third sister."
Bai Tongchun glanced at Bai Yu'an with a serious expression: "What do you want to say?"
Bai Yu'an lowered her eyes and whispered: "The third brother-in-law often beats the third sister now. Something will happen sooner or later every day. Why doesn't father let the third sister reconcile?"
When Bai Tongchun heard this, he was so angry that he tossed his sleeves: "What a bastard, I am the magistrate of Shuyang County after all. If my daughter reconciles with her husband's family, what dignity will I have?"
"Since she is married, it is her duty to serve her husband and his parents-in-law. No matter how hard the life is, she deserves it!"
Bai Yu'an raised her head and looked at her father sadly: "What if the third sister is beaten even more severely by the third brother-in-law one day?"
"Didn't father see the injuries on Third Sister's body and face today?"
Bai Tongchun glared at Bai Yu'an: "That's because she is useless!"
"Which of your eldest and second sister's families has a bad life? Why was she beaten by Bao Yuan?"
"Things that are so shameful and conspicuous, I just want to go home and cry."
After hearing what his father said, Bai Yuan felt a chill in his heart, as if a basin of cold water had been poured all over his body.
She stood up immediately: "Is it embarrassing to be divorced?"
"This matter is obviously the fault of the third brother-in-law. I don't understand why my father should blame the third sister."
Bai Tongchun's face was gloomy: "When a woman marries her husband, she follows her husband. Once she is married, she becomes a member of her husband's family."
"There is no reason for a married daughter to come back!"
Bai Yu'an clenched her hands and took a step forward: "Why not? It's not like there is no free yard in the mansion."
"Besides, what if Third Sister can marry another person? Even if she can't get married, can't she stay with you and take care of you?"
Bai Tongchun slapped his hand on the table angrily: "Bastard, do you think you are capable now and want to disobey your father in everything?"
Bai Yu'an lowered his head and whispered: "I don't want to disobey my father, but can my father bear to see the third sister living like this again?"
"The third brother-in-law has brought in a concubine now. Doesn't it mean that the father doesn't care about it? At least he can support my sister so that the third brother-in-law can stop bullying her."
Bai Tongchun's face grew pale with anger, and he looked at Bai Yu'an with sharp eyes: "It is her duty as a woman to obey her husband."
"You have nothing to do with these things, and I won't allow you to interfere in the future!"
