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

What this means is that if the father and son are not of one mind, Bai Liezhao will never listen to Bai Yansong.

Especially he and Bai Chuyao, the third son of the Bai family, and Bai Lu, they are of the same mind, so this marriage probably cannot be accomplished.

So...Bai Yansong has arranged the engagement, but if Bai Liezhao insists on not marrying Xu Wanrong, what can they do?

After all, the Xu family has a daughter and can't stand the trouble.

Even if Bai Liezhao married Xu Wanrong at that time, if the trouble between them got out and escalated, it would be the girl from their Xu family who would be embarrassed.

Xu Wanrong, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, is indeed a very precious daughter of the Xu family, but the Xu family does not have just this one daughter, so they always have to consider other daughters.

You can't let your other daughters lose their lives.

Bai Yansong was anxious, and couldn't help but said to Madam Xu: "Oh my, this matter is not that complicated. Madam Xu just wants to marry Wanrong to our family. It's actually very simple!"

"Wanrong, later on, just say that you are staying at home with your Aunt Xie. After a while, people outside will naturally think that you are a member of our family."

Before he could finish his words, he heard Old Madam Xu angrily say, "...Oh my Lord Bai, you are so shameless to say that."

"What's the matter? Just staying at home for a while?!"

"And haven't you ever thought that Aunt Xie is just an aunt?!"

"She lives with a concubine. Isn't it embarrassing for her as the principal wife?"

"!!!"

Bai Yansong's face turned green, and he heard Xu Wanrong beside him whispering, "Yes! Although Aunt Xie is nice, she is only a concubine after all... If we get married, we must avoid mentioning her identity."

Then she turned her head and looked at Old Madam Xu and said, "Grandma, I don't want to get married..."

"How about that?" She pursed her lips and said to Bai Yansong, "Master Bai, please arrange another marriage for me. I won't marry the second young master anymore."

After hearing these words, Bai Yansong immediately became anxious again.

"This, this, this... How can this be possible?!"

"We have already arranged a marriage, how can I, your future father-in-law, arrange another marriage for you?"

He just thought it was ridiculous, so he frowned and said to Xu Wanrong: "You Xu family members really don't keep their word."

Madam Xu immediately started arguing with Bai Yansong: "Who is the one who doesn't keep his word?"

"Didn't the eldest son of your Bai family go to our place and make a scene first?!"

So the three of them quarreled in the house.

Xu Wanrong was crying.

Old Madam Xu said that she was about to have a heart attack, and then she said that she was so angry that she felt dizzy.

Bai Yansong vomited blood and then fainted from anger.

The three of them were in such a mess that they even spent the entire afternoon... and they even invited several imperial doctors to come over.

This joke was unexpectedly spread to the palace.

The emperor was in the imperial study, discussing state affairs with Pei Huizhou, when Zhang, the chief steward, came in and spoke to the emperor in secret.

The emperor's mouth twitched in silence, and he immediately flew into a rage: "After all, the Xu family is a family of clean officials! Just for the sake of marrying into the Bai family, they actually started a commotion in the Bai family?"

Zhang Zongguan was helpless. He was concerned about Pei Huizhou beside him and whispered to the emperor, "Your Majesty... This is not the fault of the Xu family. After all... Miss Xu Wanrong had just been engaged, but the eldest son disagreed. If he wanted to cancel the engagement, it would definitely affect Miss Wanrong's reputation..."

After hearing this, the emperor felt a headache. He waved his hand in annoyance and said to Zhang Zongguan in silence, "Don't ask me about this matter. Ask the queen. She will solve it."

She is the legitimate daughter of the Bai family, and she has nothing to do with the Bai family.

This is really outrageous... You can come to the emperor to argue when the time comes, and then you can receive me.

The emperor didn't intend to care at all.

Zhang Zongguan nodded, and Pei Huizhou asked beside him: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

The emperor sighed, his expression softened, and he said to Pei Huizhou, "Alas, in the final analysis, it is the matter of the Crown Prince's mother's family, the Bai family. You should just stop interfering."

Ever since the Pei Huizhou incident, Pei Huizhou and Bai Lu became sworn enemies, and the emperor deliberately prevented Pei Huizhou from interfering in the affairs of the Bai family.

Moreover, he had been clearly warned before that if he tried to plot against the Bai family, the emperor would definitely punish him severely.

Therefore, Pei Huizhou no longer cared about the Bai family's affairs and knew how to avoid suspicion.

When Pei Huizhou heard these words, he lowered his head and said nothing.

They continued to discuss business, but not long after, they heard the steward Zhang outside running into the palace screaming and saying to the emperor.

"Oh no, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

"That girl from the Xu family, Xu Wanrong, actually committed suicide!!"

"While Mr. Bai and Madam Xu were arguing... he was hung with white silk in the yard next door. I heard that he was only breathing when he was found. I wonder if he can be saved!"

"The old lady of the Xu family fainted right there! The master and mistress of the Xu family have now gone to the Bai family."

"And the old master of the Xu family also came to the palace in the middle of the night in a sedan chair... He said he wanted to punish the eldest son of the Bai family, saying that the eldest son of the Bai family actually forced his daughter to do this and ruined his daughter's reputation..."

"The eldest son of the Bai family must give the Xu family an explanation!"

After hearing these words, the emperor's expression changed drastically: "What? There is such a thing?!"

This is bad.

If Bai Chuyao was just forcing Bai Liezhao not to marry Xu Wanrong, that would be fine.

It's nothing more than the elder brother being willing to interfere in his younger brother's family affairs, but bypassing Bai Yansong.

But now, the daughter of a minister was almost forced to death in a cold-blooded and ruthless manner. This is not a good thing.

Especially...the Xu family has been imperial censors for generations, and they are all censors!

When the time comes, Bai Chuyao will be criticized and he will no longer be able to serve as an official in the court.

Moreover...if Xu Wanrong had committed suicide in the Bai family, and if the news got out, Bai Liezhao and Xu Wanrong would have to be tied together whether they wanted to or not...

Oh my god, what should I do? !

The emperor was a little confused at this time.

He immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
