Lai Feiyan entered the palace inexplicably, and also inexplicably chose to return to the White House with great fanfare on the Ghost Festival. If the Ninth Five-Year Master in the palace did not know about this, then no one in the Bai family would believe it. of!
How did Lai Feiyan enter the palace? How did she induce the old emperor to favor her for many days? What is her purpose in entering the palace? Is it just for glory and wealth?
Thinking of the masked man behind Lai Feiyan, Bai Yanqing felt her temples pounding. She was deeply aware that this matter had another purpose!
"Empress Li, don't be so pretentious. This is the Bai family. There are no eyes watching you."
Bai Yanqing revealed Lai Feiyan's little thoughts in one sentence.
Perhaps because she has been in the palace for a long time, Lai Feiyan is more able to deal with people than before. She insists on dealing with everyone for a long time even though she can explain things clearly in one sentence, and even pretends to show off her family affection. . As everyone knows, from the day she abandoned Bai Furong and Lai Bizhi, there was an insurmountable gap between the entire Bai family, even Bai Furong's mother and daughter, and Lai Feiyan! It's too late now to reminisce about old friendships and family ties!
"Actually, it's nothing serious, don't be nervous..."
Lai Feiyan spoke slowly, then glanced at everyone present. Seeing that no one answered her, she had no choice but to speak angrily again.
"I want to enter the Bai family tree!"
Perhaps seeing that no one in the Bai family looked at her seriously, Lai Feiyan straightened her body and directly called herself me! In her opinion, this was the only way to suppress the Bai family's disrespect for them.
"Impossible, don't even think about it!"
Hearing Lai Feiyan's request, Bai Jingxuan frowned at first, but before he could speak out, Bai Yanqing was the first to refuse!
Previously, everyone was still guessing what Lai Feiyan's intention was in returning to the Bai family this time. Now that she has revealed the purpose of her trip, Bai Yanqing is not afraid of her anymore!
If she wants to join the Bai family tree, is she, Lai Feiyan, worthy?
"I'm afraid I may have forgotten that before you left the Bai family, you made it clear that you are a member of the Lai family and have nothing to do with my Bai family, my aunt and my cousin!"
Bai Yanqing directly told Lai Feiyan that she was about to cut off her relationship with the Bai family without giving him any face.
"Bai Yanqing, you have to understand! I am here to inform you, not to discuss with you!"
At that time, Lai Feiyan stopped pretending to them and spoke directly, silencing the Bai family. Since she said that, I think she must have made complete preparations!
"The Emperor has long since found out my identity. In order to protect me from being bullied by others in the palace, the Emperor naturally needs to give me a powerful mother clan that I can rely on. I advise you not to be ignorant of praise. !”
Bai Yanqing had already guessed this level when Lai Feiyan said she wanted to join the Bai family tree. The reason why Lai Feiyan wanted to join the Bai family tree was just to take advantage of the Bai family's power to give herself a support! If not, how long can she charm the Lord with her little bit of charming skills? one day? A month? Or a year?
Lai Feiyan was very good at calculating. Did she think that if she wanted to enter the Bai family tree, the Bai family would have to agree? She didn't even think about it, why should she? Has she ever bullied Bai Yanqing? Or is it because of her ruthlessness towards Bai Furong, her biological mother? Or is it because she is shameless?
"If the emperor really thinks so, then why bother Empress Li to ask for an imperial edict? If not, our Bai family is not just for any cat or dog! The genealogy of our Bai family is not for any outsider. Everyone can get in!”
Bai Yanqing was quite able to hold her head clearly. After listening to Lai Feiyan's words, she did not lose her composure. She secretly thought that since Lai Feiyan returned to Bai Mansion alone, it must be a gift she had begged for through hard work. And how could she, an ordinary sixth-grade concubine, allow the emperor to take the risk of offending the Bai family and ask for a place in the genealogy list for her? There must be something fishy in this. Lai Feiyan must have lied!
"You...Bai Yanqing, I advise you not to go against me, otherwise...hum!"
When Lai Feiyan saw that Bai Yanqing refused to accept her offer, she instantly lost her patience.
"Lai Feiyan, I advise you to recognize your position! And...the person who sent you to the palace is using you, or is he really...wanting to give you glory and wealth for a lifetime? I advise you to recognize the reality! Otherwise! , don’t blame me for being rude!”
Now that things have come to this, Bai Yanqing doesn't want Lai Feiyan to be proud at all. She approached Lai Feiyan and whispered in her ear.
Regarding the masked man, Bai Yanqing still didn't want others to hear it.
Originally, these verbal quarrels were meaningless, but seeing Lai Feiyan acting like a villain and trying to suppress the Bai family at every turn, Bai Yanqing would never allow her to be presumptuous!
Everyone only saw Bai Yanqing move her mouth, and then they saw Lai Feiyan's pale face!
What on earth did Bai Yanqing say to Lai Feiyan? Lai Feiyan, who was so arrogant just now, now looks panicked!
Bai Yanqing spoke close to Lai Feiyan's ear, so others couldn't hear it, but... Bai Jingxuan, who was closest to Bai Yanqing, heard everything clearly!
I don't know if Bai Yanqing's words had an effect, but Lai Feiyan actually stopped talking. Not long after, she hurriedly led people and left the Bai Mansion! Before leaving, he did not forget to show off his authority and threatened that if there was any difficulty in the White House in the future, he could go to the palace to beg her!
From beginning to end, Lai Feiyan never knelt down to salute her mother and grandmother! These two people who loved her the most in the past are now the people she abandons like worn-out shoes and avoids her! Sad, deplorable!
Fortunately, Bai Furong is still open-minded. After all, after Lai Guofu's incident last time, she has already looked away. She no longer cares about Lai Feiyan and Lai Guofu's father and daughter. She has the right to treat her daughter as dead! Mrs. Ren, on the other hand, couldn't look away many times. I heard that not long after Lai Feiyan left, Mrs. Ren was so angry that she couldn't even lie down! Just say something unlucky like raising a white-eyed wolf! It caused everyone in the White House to sigh!
This probably means that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment!
"Yan Qing, you know how Feiyan entered the palace."
Bai Jingxuan found a gap where no one was around, walked directly to Bai Yanqing's side, and spoke. What he said was an affirmative sentence, not a question, which meant that he had determined that Bai Yanqing must know the inside story of Lai Feiyan's entry into the palace.
When Lai Feiyan was in Baifu before, she didn't show any dancing talent. It can even be said that she had never seen Lai Feiyan dance in Baifu. Moreover, Lai Feiyan grew up in the White Mansion, and she has always studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which are skills that a lady must learn. She has not hired a dancing master to teach her, so where did she learn dancing skills? Besides, how could Lai Feiyan, a commoner woman, meet the leader of the theater troupe by chance if there was no expert to help her? How could it be such a coincidence that the troupe leader recommended her to dance on stage? Even more coincidentally, the emperor happened to be passing by and was seen by him.
All these signs indicate that there must be an expert behind Lai Feiyan! Not only was this person able to train Lai Feiyan into a maiko with outstanding dancing skills in a short period of time, but he was also able to successfully send her to the palace. From this, it can be seen that this person must have a great connection with the palace!
However, such "experts" usually remain anonymous, so how does his daughter Bai Yanqing know this?
"My daughter doesn't know how she entered the palace, nor what methods they used. My daughter just accidentally learned that there was an expert helping Lai Feiyan behind her. As for who that expert is, my daughter doesn't know either!"
Bai Yanqing told the truth and didn't hide anything. She really didn't know what means the masked man used to send Lai Feiyan to the palace. She only knew that the masked man must have had a purpose in kidnapping Lai Feiyan, and now it seemed that he probably sent her to the palace. As for the purpose of sending Lai Feiyan to the palace, she really had no idea.
Seeing that Bai Yanqing's eyes were clear and she answered without any hesitation, Bai Jingxuan felt a little relieved. He was not worried about Bai Yanqing's tricks, he was worried that if his daughter met a bad person without knowing it, she would be harmed.
"That time when Lai Guofu came to the White Mansion to cause trouble, were you the one who went out to look for him that night?"
Bai Jingxuan suddenly remembered that Lai Guofu came to Bai Mansion to ask for someone. That night, Bai Yanqing went out to do business and did not return home until very late.
And that night, after Bai Yanqing returned home, she told him that Lai Feiyan was fine and that she would go back to Bai Mansion the next day! It was also because of her leaving the house that time that he learned that Lai Feiyan was safe. It was not that he had no doubts at that time, but it just happened to be that there were many official matters, so he didn't think much about it. It seems now that at that time, his daughter already knew that there was someone behind Lai Feiyan!
So the question is, how did Bai Yanqing know that expert?
Seeing Bai Jingxuan's doubtful look, Bai Yanqing immediately felt that something was wrong. She was being hasty and she shouldn't have revealed too much to her father! She has her own things to do, and she doesn't want Bai Jingxuan to become suspicious of the masked man yet!
"It was just a coincidence that my daughter encountered some accidents on Zhuangzi before and was rescued once, so she met that person. As for Lai Feiyan... I only learned something about Lai Feiyan from that person later."
Bai Yanqing knew that she couldn't hide it from Bai Jingxuan, but she didn't want Bai Jingxuan to investigate too much about the masked man, so she had to make up a lie to deal with him first.
Bai Yanqing has been raising Zhuangzi for many years, and Bai Jingxuan has always felt guilty about this matter. Therefore, every time Bai Yanqing mentioned this matter, he would inevitably feel sad for it, so naturally he would not delve into these matters.
Bai Yanqing saw that her father seemed to believe her words, so she didn't linger much to avoid asking him any more questions. She quickly used her physical discomfort as an excuse, pulled Cai Xing and hurriedly left. .
"Let's go check and see where the lady went when she left the house a few nights ago."
Bai Jingxuan didn't look back and seemed to say something to the air. But in an instant, someone behind him responded, and then a figure flew past.
Bai Jingxuan naturally did not believe everything Bai Yanqing said, but he also respected his daughter. After all, her daughter was older and had her own way of handling things. As a father, Bai Jingxuan would not interfere too much. But equally, as a father, he still cares about his daughter. He is worried that she will encounter unkind people and lose the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Just like...his sister!
Alas, Bai Jingxuan felt a dull pain in his heart when he recalled the past events between Bai Furong and Lai Guofu.
After all these years, he still had a knot in his heart. After all, if he had stopped him back then, or even put more thought into it, and sent people to check out the Lai family's background and check out Lai Guofu's character, then later on, there would not have been such a lose-lose situation as it is now. situation.
