Chapter 59 - 59: A Clear Conscience
Bai Xianyu sneered. “Those who don’t know better would think that 1 ruined her reputation. It’s not impossible for me to seek justice… Then why don’t you guys ask her what mistake she made to get kicked out?”
She did not expect Bai Xianyu to change the topic.
Madam Bai Meng was a little embarrassed.
She had asked after Bai Yu’er woke up yesterday.
Yu’er was chased out by him because she had wanted to seduce the Young Marquis of the Northern Garrison!
However, she had already lost face. The most important thing now was to make up for it quickly.
Therefore, their family had come to Old Madam’s place today not to ask Bai Xianyu to seek justice for Bai Yu’er, but to use Bai Xianyu to find a marriage for Bai Yu’er.
Old Madam clearly did not know why. She said angrily, “Yu’er is so well-behaved and sensible. How could she be beaten up because of a mistake? She must have been wronged.”
Bai Yu’er sobbed and did not speak, tacitly agreeing with Old Madam’s words.
Madam Bai Meng quickly walked up to Bai Xianyu and accused, “Girl, your first reaction when your sister was beaten up was not to avenge her. You actually think that Yu’er did something wrong. The entire Marquis of the Northern Garrison household is united. My Yu’er is alone there. We can’t just rely on what they say.”
Bai Xianyu frowned slightly and said casually, “It’s really hard to say. Grandmother and Auntie, don’t forget how Cousin Yu’er offended the Seventh Princess. Besides… the Young Marquis of the Northern Garrison is not a man who will punish women casually.”
She must have crossed Xie Xingyun’s bottom line. Otherwise, he would not have been so angry and used the most humiliating method to throw Bai Yu’er out of the main door.
Bai Yu’er was beaten till she was on the verge of death, hanging on by a single breath.
Moreover, at Eldest Princess Jing An’s Plum Blossom Banquet that day, countless noble ladies in the capital saw how Bai Yu’er was complacent and arrogant towards the Seventh Princess Li Changning.
Old Madam had also attached great importance to Bai Yu’er’ visit to the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor, so she knew the details of that day.
Therefore, when Bai Xianyu said this, everyone’s faces darkened.
Seeing that she was being unreasonable, Madam Bai Meng began to walk over to Bai Yuantai in big steps, grabbing him and wailing. “Yuantai, look at how our daughter has been bullied. The Seventh Princess has a noble status and has many rules. It’s a pity that our Yu’er was sent to a small place like Qingzhou even though she should have been born into a prestigious family and was extremely good-looking. Now, she’s actually going to be mocked by your good niece after having said something wrong. We might as well return to Qingzhou and never come to the capital again!”
When Old Madam heard this, she was shocked!
A few years ago, someone had to take charge of the residence, so she had no choice but to stay in the Kingdom-Stabilizing General’s Manor and part ways with her son. In the blink of an eye, they had not seen each other for more than 20 years. If she let them go now, she would probably not be able to see them in the future.
“No, you can’t go back to Qingzhou…” She hurriedly tapped the ground with her walking stick and pointed at the girl in front of her. “Bai Xianyu! Apologize to your aunt’s family immediately. What kind of nonsense are you saying? Look at how angry your aunt is!”
Bai Xianyu thought that what she said was not too much. Moreover, they were the ones who were agitated from the beginning to the end.
“Grandmother, firstly, I didn’t force Bai Yu’er to go to the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor. Secondly, 1 didn’t force her to speak rudely. This matter has nothing to do with me. Xianyu has a clear conscience..”
