BXBX NOVEL Chapter 69 - 69: Why Did Little Yu Think Of Listening to This?
She said it self-righteously, as if this was what she should do.
Bai Xianyu frowned. “Grandmother, as far as I know, Uncle is only a basic scholar currently. How can my Third Brother decide to promote him to an official, not to mention helping Cousin find one.”
Old Madam could not listen at all. “What do you know? Which official in Qingzhou doesn’t have a few relatives to help him?”
Qingzhou was just a small place. The Emperor was as far away as the sky, and among the officials, many shielded each other. Old Madam’s horizons and ideas were still stuck in what she had seen in Qingzhou in the past.
Bai Xianyu said, “If Grandmother doesn’t believe me, you can go and ask Third Brother yourself. 1 won’t speak up for them.”
When Old Madam heard this, she narrowed her eyes. She was afraid that Yuan’er would not agree. Ever since Yuan’er was promoted to an official, he had become more and more cold to her, but he would definitely listen to Bai Xianyu.
“Are you going against me?” She hammered the ground twice with her walking stick. “You just can’t see the big picture. If your uncle becomes an official, Yu’er can marry a better man. Your own background would also be stronger. Why won’t you agree?”
Bai Xianyu loosened her hand that was supporting her and said calmly, “Placing him in a position that doesn’t match his talent and virtue, while he may look impressive, he would only be a tall building in a precarious situation. Not only would this not form his background, on the contrary, it would be a hidden danger. Grandmother, please go ahead. I still have something on, so 1’11 take my leave first.”
Old Madam was so angry that she kept hitting the ground with her walking stick and shouted at the nanny beside her, “Look at her! It’s fine if she contradicted me, but she even said that if Yuan Tai became an official, it would be a hidden danger? If I hadn’t forbidden Yuan Tai from entering the military camp back then, he would have been a great general by now! Why would 1 need to go to this girl!”
Bai Xianyu heard this from behind and was speechless. Grandmother had not allowed Bai Yuantai to enter the military camp because she was afraid that his youngest son would suffer.
However, she still had to tell her Third Brother that she was going to Buddha Temple.
Bai Xianyu turned around and walked past Old Madam.
Old Madam was stunned. “Why did she go there in that direction again?”
The nanny smiled and said, “Miss must have changed her mind again. We’re family after all. She won’t be so heartless.”
Old Madam was delighted when she heard this. She followed behind Bai Xianyu and walked as fast as she could. “That’s great. Yuan’er will definitely not reject her request.”
They arrived at Bai Jingyuan’s courtyard.
Bai Xianyu knocked twice on the door, and the guard, Bai Li, beside him opened the door. “Miss.”
“Is Third Brother inside?”
“Young Master is in the study. Miss, come in.”
Old Madam also rushed in.
Bai Li reported and Bai Jingyuan came out of the study.
“Third Brother, why are you still in the study during your break?” Bai Xianyu smiled. “It’s good to tour the lake with friends. The weather is very good today.”
Bai Jingyuan smiled faintly, and the haze in his eyes dissipated a lot. “1 have a lot of work to do. If you want to go to the lake, I’ll accompany you in 2 hours.”
Bai Xianyu shook her head. “I came here this time to ask you to promise me something.”
Old Madam stood at the side and smiled. “That’s right. Yuan’er, you have to promise Xianyu.”
Bai Jingyuan addressed her as “Grandmother”. It did not sound affectionate, and there was an indescribable unfamiliarity.
“I want Third Brother to promise to let me go to Buddha Temple to fast and listen to Master Yu Chan preach. Is that okay?”
Bai Jingyuan raised his eyebrows. “Why does Little Yu want to go and listen to this?”
Old Madam’s smile froze..
