The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply
Chapter 102: Making Enemies
"Also, my wife asked me to tell Miss Bai that my second son just has a common cold. I hope you can keep yesterday's incident a secret. It would be bad if rumors spread that you should repay your life-saving grace with your body. After all, the Lin family is a century-old family, and not just any Tom, Dick or Harry can get close to them, so please be careful with your words and actions.
Of course, Miss Bai is helping my second son, and we in the Marquisate are not ignorant of the rules. Next month, my second son will be getting married. His wife is the daughter of the Minister of War, and she is of noble status. Many dignitaries will come to congratulate him, and you are welcome to join in the fun. Maybe you can get to know some young talents from the minor officials!"
After the conversation, Bai Lin and Bai Hao were furious and threw the food out. Bai Shihong didn't even order them to leave, but just had them kicked out.
The housekeeper finally shouted in panic at the door: "Is this the etiquette of the Zhuangyuan Mansion?"
Suddenly her knees felt numb and she fell to her knees. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get up. The other male servants were also shocked, but they didn't dare to move her, so they just looked at each other in confusion.
Soon, some neighbors gathered around, pointing and talking, wondering what had happened.
Bai Zhaozhao looked down at him and said with a smile, "Madam housekeeper, there is no need to be so polite. Yesterday, I was just being kind and gave your young master a pill.
Alas, I was afraid that the pills would lose their efficacy if kept for too long, so I thought it would be better to give them to those in need rather than just letting them go to the cats and dogs. It just so happens that your son has caught a cold, so I gave them to him. Please tell your wife that it is just a small thing, so there is no need to thank her!"
"You're talking nonsense..." The housekeeper was about to retort angrily but was horrified to find that she was speechless!
What's going on? She stared at Bai Zhaozhao in front of her with wide eyes.
It's her! It must be her!
But Bai Zhaozhao said helplessly: "Since you insist on thanking me like this, then kneel down! When you don't want to kneel anymore, go back."
Then Bai Zhaozhao said to the neighbors around him: "Excuse me for making a fool of myself!"
Then she turned around and went back home and closed the door.
Most of the neighbors were confused, but they knew that this was Mr. Bai's home, and there was no reason for them to side with outsiders, so they all persuaded the kneeling housekeeper:
"Girl, your gratitude has been received, and it's almost time for you to leave!"
"Yeah! Why take it so seriously? Miss Bai just gave me a pill to treat a cold!"
"That's right. I've seen people giving gifts to build relationships, but I've never seen people kneeling to build relationships."
"The forest is so big, there are all kinds of birds."
……
After a few phone calls, the male servants in Guangping Marquis's Mansion looked unhappy.
Who is trying to establish a relationship? They are clearly here to distance themselves from the relationship! They even changed into casual clothes so that people wouldn't recognize them as servants of the Marquis of Guangping's mansion!
It is even more inconvenient to reveal my identity now, I really can’t explain it even if I have a mouth!
One of the male servants quickly squatted beside the housekeeper and asked anxiously, "Madam Du, what happened to you? Get up quickly, we must go back and report to the second lady!"
Madam Du felt extremely uncomfortable. She could neither stand up nor speak. She could only blink hard and open her mouth to signal.
After a while, the male servants realized that Madam Du's legs were numb for some reason and she couldn't even speak. She must have seen a ghost.
In order to avoid further embarrassment, they had no choice but to find a sedan chair and carry Madam Du away.
At this moment in the Bai Mansion, Bai Hao knelt down with an uncomfortable look on his face. This time he really felt that his behavior was not worth it at all. He couldn't understand why Brother Lin, who he usually got along well with, would be like this.
Bai Lin said quietly, "There are several scions of the Guangping Marquis's family whose moral conduct is not good. I will go talk to some imperial censors later."
Bai Shihong also snorted coldly: "As expected of a noble family with hundreds of years of history, even the servants are so arrogant!"
Bai Zhaozhao, however, looked calm: "Dad, does the Guangping Marquisate not give Prince An any respect at all?"
Bai Shihong thought for a moment and said, "This... should just be because he disdains your status as his adopted daughter! Wasn't there a rumor about you before?"
That’s true, but Bai Zhaozhao still felt that another possibility was more likely.
"Father, Brother Bai Lin was commended by the Emperor, and I am the adopted daughter of Prince An. Moreover, Sister Rouping always mentions me in front of the noble ladies. There is almost no noble family in the capital who doesn't know me!
So no matter how stupid the lady in the maid's mouth is, she shouldn't have offended our Bai family and Prince An's Mansion so blatantly. Even if the Guangping Marquis Mansion really wanted to distance itself from us, it shouldn't have humiliated us so stupidly! Isn't this obviously making enemies?"
Bai Shihong thought for a moment and asked, "Do you mean that this was deliberately arranged by the Marquis' Mansion?"
Bai Lin seemed to be thinking about something. "If we follow the normal reaction, we should tell Prince An about this matter. At the same time, I will also show my dissatisfaction with Guangping Marquis' Mansion. Even if I can't really do anything to the Marquis' Mansion, I can still let them suffer a little."
Bai Zhaozhao nodded: "Yes, if this is the purpose of that lady, it would be very interesting! Of course, it is also possible that my guess is wrong. Maybe she simply looks down on me and is afraid that I will take advantage of her to get close to her."
Bai Hao, who was kneeling on the ground at this time, also understood: "I think my sister is right!"
Bai Lin glanced at him, and Bai Hao lowered his head again without saying anything.
Bai Lin said: "Actually, this is very easy to verify. We just need to find out the family members of Guangping Marquis's Mansion and then find out who the housekeeper belongs to."
Bai Shihong said, "Okay, Bai Hao, did you hear me? Why don't you go now?"
Bai Hao jumped up immediately: "I'll go right away."
Bai Zhaozhao's mouth curled up. Bai Shihong was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. He was reluctant to let Bai Hao kneel all the time, so he might as well let him find out the truth and learn a lesson.
Sure enough, Bai Shihong said to Bai Lin and Bai Zhaozhao earnestly: "You two have seen it too, good intentions may not always bring good rewards, think more about the consequences before doing anything."
Bai Lin: “Yes!”
Bai Zhaozhao: “Yes!”
Let go of the desire to help others and respect the fate of others. Thinking about it now, Bai Zhaozhao felt that she was also somewhat wrong in this matter. At that time, she just wanted to not let Bai Hao work hard for nothing. It would be bad if others blamed Bai Hao for delaying his treatment.
Now, the people in Guangping Marquis' Mansion not only humiliated themselves, but also specifically emphasized that the second young master had a cold, not pneumonia. Are they afraid that Bai Zhaozhao would tell the truth?
Although if this pneumonia is serious, it would be considered a terminal illness in ancient times, but there is still a chance of cure. What's more, the Second Young Master's condition is obviously not serious, and the Marquis' Mansion can afford to hire an imperial physician, so the chance of cure is still very high. Is it necessary to hide it like this?
By the way, he is getting married next month?
