Bai Qian obviously didn't expect Bai Wei to attack Bai Ying in front of him. By the time he reacted, Bai Ying's face was already swollen. He immediately protected Bai Ying behind him: "Bai Wei, what are you doing? How can you be so cruel? Ying'er is your sister!"

Bai Wei smiled and said, "Father, I disciplined her because she is my sister. Although you are not a high-ranking official, you are from a scholarly family. Don't you know the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and the hierarchy between the old and the young? She called me by my full name and insulted me as a waste and an ugly thing. If others heard this, they would probably question your upbringing."

Bai Qian frowned, he never expected that Bai Wei could say such a thing.

In the past, Bai Wei was taciturn. Although she was an excellent martial artist, she had not received the education of a child from an aristocratic family since she was a child. Not only did she lack manners, but she was also not very cautious in her words. In addition, she was abducted when she was young. Who knew what she had experienced? In his eyes, such a daughter was simply his shame.

But now...she seems a little different.

"Okay, Ying'er was indeed inappropriate in this matter. As the eldest sister, you should teach her a lesson. But what about you? How should you be punished for offending King Qi and being disrespectful to your elders?"

When Bai Ying heard Bai Qian say that she should be taught a lesson by Bai Wei, she felt very aggrieved and her big round eyes were covered with tears. But soon she heard Bai Qian say that he would punish Bai Wei, and the tears were instantly wiped away by the excitement.

She was just slapped a few times, but according to the Bai family rules, Bai Wei should be beaten to death!

Bai Wei looked at the expressions of the two people opposite her and knew what they were thinking. She smiled and said, "If you are disrespectful to your elders, there are eighty family rules. If you offend King Qi, if the circumstances are serious, you deserve death."

Bai Qian didn't understand why Bai Wei was still so calm. Could it be because the Prince of Zhennan, his cheap father-in-law, had told Bai Wei something in advance and given her some advice? If that was the case, he would have to endure it to avoid being caught and affecting his career.

"Wei'er, you are also my daughter, so how can I bear to see you get into trouble? Prince Qi's matter is not without room for maneuver. Tomorrow, I will personally take you to Prince Qi's mansion to apologize, and that's it. As for the eighty points of the family law, go to the ancestral hall to accept the punishment now!"

Bai Wei looked at the hypocritical man in front of her who was pretending to be a loving father. The sarcasm on her face was harder to suppress than AK: "I'm afraid it's not a good idea to go to the ancestral hall to receive the punishment. After all, I don't like going out at night."

Did he think she would give in to him and lighten the punishment? Would she prove to him that she was not wrong? Why? She wanted to catch him off guard and leave him defenseless.

Bai Qian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Bai Wei meant.

Bai Wei raised her hand and hooked her finger at a guard standing next to Bai Fei.

The tall and muscular guard stepped forward and said, "I have led several guards to send all the tablets offered by Minister Bai, except for his wife's, back to the original Shangshu Mansion."

As soon as these words came out, Bai Qian almost jumped up, no longer caring about the dignity and propriety of a scholar, and rushed forward and grabbed the guard's collar: "What did you say, what did you do!"

It's a pity that there is a huge difference in height and strength. The two of them standing together look like a chick hanging on the neck of a goose. The chick is indignant, but the goose is calm.

Bai Wei was in a good mood when she saw this. She lay back on her recliner, ate grapes, and said casually, "This mansion is the general's mansion given to me by the emperor. My father said that I am not married yet, and our family should live together. Now that I am married, it is natural for my father to take everyone and leave my mansion!"

Bai Qian then let go of her hand and looked at Bai Wei angrily: "Are you trying to drive me away!?"

Bai Wei: "Father, you are joking. If you want to come to my daughter's house to play, I welcome you anytime. But, father, you should understand that the guest should follow the host's wishes. Or do some people really think they are the bird after occupying the magpie's nest for so long?"

Bai Qian was so angry that he was shaking, but after all, as someone who had been in the officialdom for so long, he was still quite calm. Of course, the most important thing was his face, which he had to maintain at all times.

"Bai Wei, don't regret it."

Bai Wei didn't even look at him.

Regret? Regret that it was too late to kick him out!

Bai Qian turned around and left, and Bai Ying followed behind him: "Dad, are we really leaving? I don't want to. That little bitch Bai Wei is useless. These things should have been ours..."

Although the previous house was a Shangshu Mansion, it was not too bad, but Bai Wei's house was granted by the emperor. No matter the size or the bottom, it was top-notch. She would have face to invite her sisters to come. If she went back...

"Shut up!"

Bai Qian was already furious. For so long, he had treated this house as his own and had never thought that he would be kicked out one day. But after Bai Wei's words, if he forced himself to stay here, it would be tantamount to stomping on his face.

Bai Ying was yelled at so hard that she didn't dare to say anything and could only follow.

Just as the two of them walked to the door, Bai Wei spoke again: "Wait a minute"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Qian's eyes flashed with a hint of sarcasm.

He knew that Bai Wei was her daughter, so how could she dare to drive him out. If she drove him out, even though the laws of Dongqin could not punish her, people's words were scary, and she would definitely be labeled as an unfilial person.

"No need to say more. I just saw that you were not married yet and I couldn't bear to see you, a girl, living alone in a lonely mansion. Now that you have a family, I will not occupy your nest."

He emphasized the words "cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest" because he wanted to use Bai Wei's words to confront her and make her regret talking to her father like that.

Bai Wei found this moral blackmailing rhetoric ridiculous: "Father is absolutely right, so I don't intend to persuade you. I just want to talk to Deputy General Zhao and ask him to bring people to help you pack up the things belonging to the Shangshu Mansion, including the former Shangshu Mansion's servants. Don't leave any of them behind!"

In other words, I don't want your things, and you can't take my things away either!

Deputy General Zhao clasped his hands together, and understood: "I will obey the general's orders!"

The general finally vented his anger. These days, they were so hot-blooded and eager to fight against the enemy that they were almost suffocated.

Seeing this, Bai Ying became even more anxious than before: "Bai Wei, you sent people to monitor us, do you think we are thieves?"

In the past, Bai Wei had made outstanding military achievements and the emperor gave her many gifts. But Bai Wei didn't like to dress up. Sometimes when she led troops to fight outside, those beautiful clothes and exquisite jewelry were distributed to them. Now, can't she take those things with her?

It is because of those things that she can become the focus among the young ladies from the noble families in Beijing at every banquet. She doesn’t want to lose them!
