Early the next morning.
Bai Yuxian saw six people, including Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Mi, Bai Zheng and Bai Yusheng, who arrived at Jiedushi's house.
We haven't seen each other in the past two years, and the appearance of the six people at this time has undergone tremendous changes.
Overall, the six of them looked a lot older, especially the eldest Mrs. Bai, whose essence, energy and spirit seemed to have been drained. Her face was old and decayed, her aura was rotten, and her whole person At first glance, it gives people a feeling of bleakness.
Two years ago, before the Wuhou Mansion collapsed, when Bai Yuxian met Old Taijun Bai, although Old Taijun Bai was over seventy years old and looked old, her overall mental state was still very good and full of energy.
At that time, Mrs. Bai looked like she was old but still physically strong.
But now when I see Mrs. Bai again, it's like she's a different person.
Obviously, the collapse of Wuhou Mansion was a huge blow to the six people, especially Mrs. Bai.
Youdao is that red energy nourishes people.
In the past, when Wuhou Mansion was still there, although it also declined, at least it was the Houmen Mansion and the home of the powerful. It was still nourished by the nobility of the Houmen Mansion. No matter how Wuhou Mansion declined, Bai Laotaijun and other Wuhou Mansion The mistress can still be pampered.
But now that Wuhou Mansion has completely collapsed, the situation is naturally different.
Even in terms of mentality, without the blessing of the Houmen status of Wuhou Mansion, Bai Yuxian can clearly feel that at this moment, Mrs. Bai and others are less arrogant and more nervous than before.
Especially Bai Yusheng, looking at Bai Yuxian at this moment, he didn't even dare to express his anger, standing behind Old Taijun Bai and others like a timid little quail.
However, Bai Yuxian did not look down upon Old Taijun Bai and others because of the collapse of Wuhou Mansion.
"Yu Xian has seen the old lady, father-in-law, and mother-in-law. Come and sit down in the mansion quickly."
Bai Yuxian enthusiastically welcomed Mrs. Bai and others into the house, and the five girls Bai Qian, Bai Qian, Bai Xue, Bai Yue and Bai Lan also followed.
"Logically speaking, as a junior, Yuxian should take the initiative to visit the old lady and you guys first when she comes back this time, but today I don't want to trouble the old lady and my father-in-law and mother-in-law to come first. It's really rude. "
"I hope the old lady and my father-in-law and mother-in-law won't be offended by this rudeness."
After entering the mansion and sitting down, Bai Yuxian smiled and said politely.
Seeing that Bai Yuxian was so warm and polite, and did not show any other unwelcome emotions, Mrs. Bai and the other five people immediately felt at ease.
Then he smiled and said.
"Now Yuxian is a minister of the imperial court and the governor of two towns. He also has to defend against the Taiping Dao rebellion. He shoulders the important responsibilities of the imperial court and has everything to do. How can we bother Yuxian because of these trivial matters."
"Besides, we are all a family, why should we be so polite? Just ignore some useless red tape."
"The old lady is right, we are all a family, Yuxian doesn't have to be so polite and care about these red tapes."
"The old lady and mother-in-law are right. Yuxian was too polite and turned away from others. So I won't say these words."
"That's right."
The smiles on the faces of Mrs. Bai and others suddenly became a little bigger.
At this time, Bai Yuxian also asked again.
"I wonder if the old lady, my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law are living here in Chengdu quite comfortably these days. If there is anything I'm not satisfied with, just ask the old lady and my father-in-law, and Yuxiandi will do their best to make arrangements."
"Thank you for your concern. Chengdu has beautiful scenery and outstanding people. Now we live very comfortably."
Mrs. Bai immediately said again.
Old Taijun Bai and others are quite satisfied with the arrangements Bai Yuxian has given them in Chengdu Mansion.
Although the residence they live in is not as good as the Wuhou Mansion, it is also a large courtyard residence with three entrances, and the provision for other maids, servants, living expenses and other aspects is relatively sufficient, which is enough for them to live a wealthy life without worries about food and clothing. Life.
Therefore, after settling in Chengdu Mansion completely during this period, Mrs. Bai and others were very satisfied with Bai Yuxian's arrangements, and they couldn't help but feel even more grateful.
Even at this moment, Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Wang both had their grudge against Bai Yuxian dissipated because of this incident.
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to you, Yuxian, this time. If Yuxian hadn't begged His Majesty for mercy, I'm afraid none of us would have survived."
Mrs. Bai thanked her sincerely.
Bai Yuxian smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Old lady, you're welcome. We are all a family, there is no need for this."
As long as Old Taijun Bai and others know what is good and what is right, then he will naturally not mind being kind to them. It will be easy to ensure that the whole group of people will live a prosperous life.
"By the way, Yuxian, in addition to expressing our gratitude to you, we are here today. There is another thing. My father-in-law also wants to talk to you and see what you think."
At this time, Bai Zheng, who had been silent in the audience, suddenly spoke and looked at Bai Yuxian.
"My father-in-law said it's okay. I don't know what it is. As long as Yuxian can help, I will do my best to help?"
Bai Yuxian looked at Bai Zhengdao.
Bai Zheng's heart felt warm again when he heard this. Bai Yuxian expressed his help even before he said anything.
Although I don't know whether Bai Yuxian's feelings are true or false, at least these words make people feel comfortable.
"There is no need for you to do anything, Yuxian, you just need to agree and not refuse."
Bai Zheng continued to speak, and a look of shame appeared on his face as he spoke.
"I feel ashamed to say it, father-in-law, ever since I became the head of Wuhou Mansion and my Bai family, although I have been determined to revitalize Wuhou Mansion and my Bai family, the result is that under my leadership, Wuhou Mansion and my Bai family But the whole clan is getting worse day by day."
"Even to this day, I can't even preserve the foundation of my ancestors, and let the Wuhou Mansion built by my ancestors be destroyed."
"That's right, I feel sorry for my ancestors of the Bai family. I failed to preserve the inheritance of my ancestors of the Bai family. I met my ancestors without words."
"Zhongzhong, I'm sorry for my brother, I failed to take good care of them and caused a huge disaster."
"Yes, I failed to discipline my children well."
Speaking of this, Bai Zheng couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Under such circumstances, how can I continue to serve as the head of this family?"
Seeing Bai Zheng look like this, Bai Yuxian couldn't help but be touched.
To be honest, Bai Yuxian still has a good impression of Bai Zheng.
Because although Bai Zheng is not very capable, he wants to do business and revitalize the family. He does the same thing himself, and he has a very upright personality. However, he is not capable and there are a lot of people in the family who are holding him back, and there is nothing he can do.
The only problem with Bai Zheng is that he is a bit pedantic in terms of filial piety, too foolish and filial, and too obedient to Mrs. Bai.
Otherwise, if Bai Zheng is not so foolish and filial when it comes to the issue of Mrs. Bai, and is determined to take good care of the Wuhou Mansion and Bai Yusheng, then the Wuhou Mansion may still be saved.
But unfortunately, there is never any regret medicine in this world.
Flowers bloom from day to day.
But no one is young anymore.
Overall, Bai Yuxian felt that Bai Zheng was a good person, with an upright character and a motivated mind that wanted to do things, but he had limited abilities and was a bit foolish and filial. Other than that, there were basically no problems.
Listening to Bai Zheng's words, Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Mi also felt sad and uncomfortable.
Especially Mrs. Bai.
Because if we really want to talk about responsibility, in fact, it is Old Taijun Bai who bears the greatest responsibility for the Wuhou Mansion to this day.
If Mrs. Bai hadn't doted on and protected her children and grandchildren at home, and used herself to suppress Bai Zheng every time Bai Zheng wanted to take control, I'm afraid the Wuhou Mansion wouldn't be where it is today.
Although Bai Zheng was the head of the family in Wuhou Mansion in the past, in fact the person who really called the shots in Wuhou Mansion was Mrs. Bai.
Therefore, the person most responsible for the decline of Wuhou Mansion is definitely not Bai Zheng, but Old Taijun Bai.
Bai Yusheng didn't feel much about Bai Zheng's words and performance. Instead, he just looked at Bai Yuxian with some fear in his eyes, as if he was afraid that Bai Yuxian would deal with him.
There is no shame in this at all.
Bai Yuxian couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Bai Yusheng's performance.
This child is absolutely hopeless.
"My father-in-law said something serious. Although my father-in-law is responsible for the outcome of today's outcome in the Wuhou Mansion as the head of the family, the responsibility does not solely fall on my father-in-law. Moreover, the matter has reached this point. It is useless to dwell on it."
Bai Yuxian spoke to comfort him.
Bai Zheng couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this. Although Bai Yuxian's words were reasonable, as the head of the family, Bai Zheng felt that the main responsibility was still on himself, because he failed to manage Wuhou Mansion well.
"If it weren't for the Jade Immortal, let alone my Wuhou Mansion, my entire Bai clan would have fallen into the abyss by now."
"Now, the only person in my Bai family who is qualified to be the head of the family is you, Yuxian. So this time, I plan to pass on the position of the head of the Bai family to you, Yuxian. I also hope that Yuxian Don’t put it off.”
"And I believe that with your leadership, our Bai family will definitely flourish!"
