In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

After all, many of the elders in the Bai family were born out of wedlock, and he looked down on those illegitimate children from the bottom of his heart.

Bai Yansong swallowed, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Why didn't I stop those servants and tell them not to go and ask the elder of the Bai family?

But soon, the elders of the Bai family were invited from various places in Kyoto.

When they were invited over, they saw the listless Bai Yansong, the gloomy Bai Chuyao, and Bai Liezhao whose rage almost burned them.

The Bai family elders were stunned for a moment, and then they heard Bai Chuyao say to them in a deep voice: "Everyone, please take a seat."

There were probably about twenty to thirty elders in the Bai family. After they were all seated, Bai Chuyao sat directly in the main seat and pushed Bai Yansong aside.

"???"

Bai Yansong looked at Bai Chuyao in confusion, unable to believe it. He didn't expect that this rebellious son would actually sit in the main seat.

When the elder of the Bai family saw Bai Chuyao sitting in the main seat, he immediately said, "How could you take your father's seat?!"

Bai Chuyao said calmly, "Now, my father no longer holds an official position in the court. I am the only one who holds an official position in the court. Moreover, His Majesty specifically said that I should be promoted to the Minister of Rites, a position of the third rank."

"In that case, I am now sitting in the main seat of the Bai family. I believe you all have no objection, right?"

"..."

The elder of the Bai family suddenly didn't dare to speak.

Yes, Bai Yansong does not hold any official position now, so it is normal that he was squeezed out by his son.

Bai Liezhao, who was standing nearby, also spoke up, "His Majesty specifically said that I should be a fifth-rank general and serve under General Li. Not to mention that my eldest brother is sitting in that position, even if my eldest brother doesn't sit there now, it would be normal for me to squeeze out my father and sit in that position..."

After hearing this, the elder of the Bai family nodded, and no one spoke for Bai Yansong anymore.

After all, no matter whether it’s father or son, they are both direct descendants of the Bai family. Since they are direct descendants, it’s fine.

Bai Chuyao is the eldest son, and Bai Liezhao is the second son, so it's nothing for them to squeeze Bai Yansong aside and sit in the main seat.

When Bai Yansong heard this, his face turned pale and blue, and he had no way to refute it.

After all, what Bai Liezhao and Bai Chuyao said was true.

Bai Chuyao then continued to say to them: "In addition, I called the elders of the Bai family here because I have two things to announce."

"The first thing is that I will be the patriarch of the Bai family!"

"I am the eldest son and the legitimate heir, and I am also 30 years old. Since I have reached the age of ... I must be qualified to be the head of the Bai family."

"What's more, my official position in the court is higher than my father's, and my reputation in the court is better than my father's. I think you all have no objection to this matter, right?"

"???"

"!!!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Bai Chuyao with wide eyes.

What? He called everyone over to announce this?!

No one expected that Bai Chuyao would become the patriarch of the Bai family.

Not to mention that they didn't expect it, even Bai Yansong himself didn't expect it.

Bai Yansong looked at Bai Chuyao in shock, almost vomiting blood, "...you rebellious son!!!"

"I didn't expect that! Your father isn't dead yet, and you're so anxious! You want to seize the position of the head of the family!"

"Even if I'm not an official in the court now, so what?! I will be reinstated in the future! The reason why His Majesty demoted me now is only because of the matter of Bingyu... I didn't take good care of Bailu... That's why I lost my official position!!!"

"I didn't commit any serious mistakes, why can't I be reinstated?!"

"You are taking advantage of your father's illness to kill him!"

"..."

Bai Chuyao smiled and said to Bai Yansong sarcastically: "When you were the head of the family before, you couldn't protect my sister, so now... I should be the head of the family."

"Since you can't protect my sister, I will do it myself!"

Hearing this, the elders of the Bai family below rebuked Bai Chuyao and said, "...Don't say that Bai Yansong has a bad reputation. Even if his reputation is bad to a certain extent, you can't take advantage of your father's reign to take the throne. What's the difference between you and the traitor who killed his father and brother in the Xuanwu Gate Incident?!"

"You know, a certain emperor launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident because he had no legitimate reason to do so. Even if he did something that will be remembered for generations, he still cannot change his name as a traitor!"

"Have you ever thought about whether the Bai family's reputation is still worth it?! If there is a head of the family who forces his father to step down, then our Bai family...even if we become the richest man in the world in the future, people will laugh at us if the news gets out."

"..."

Hearing these words, Bai Chuyao smiled and said to everyone: "Elders, please don't be anxious for now. I haven't finished speaking yet."

"You know, the reason why I did this was because of my father... I have no talent or moral integrity, so why don't you ask my father what he has done recently!"

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at Bai Yansong.

At this time, everyone also saw Haitang, a concubine beside Bai Yansong.

When everyone saw Haitang, they were a little confused. Why did this concubine look exactly like Bai family's mistress Zhao Bingyu?

Is this Zhao Bingyu? !

Immediately, an elder of the Bai family stood up and wanted to salute.

...No, no, it’s not Zhao Bingyu!

How could Zhao Bingyu be so young...

It's impossible to be so young! Zhao Bingyu is already that old!

So who is she?

Everyone thought about it carefully and remembered that at the banquet where the emperor conferred the title of duke on Bai Lu, they seemed to have heard that Bai Yansong brought a concubine to the banquet.

That concubine looked very similar to Zhao Bingyu.

Could it be this Haitang? !

After the banquet, the news spread widely, making the Bai family the target of public criticism and being laughed at.

The elders of the Bai family knew the news, but did not dare to believe it.

There are so many similar people in this world, is it possible that there are also people who are exactly the same? ?

But now that I see Haitang, I realize that there are indeed many similar people in this world.

Someone who looks exactly like him has now been found.
