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

Chapter 691 Bai Chuyao becomes the target of public criticism, but refuses the emperor's letter

At this time, the emperor was very regretful. Why didn't he help before and directly issue an imperial decree to grant Bai Liezhao a marriage...

Now that's good, the matter has become a big deal.

If Bai Lu and Bai Liezhao knew about this, they would tear me to pieces!

......

Lin.

Bai Chuyao who heard the news: "......"

Lin: “…”

It was already midnight, and the two had already gone to bed in Lin's former boudoir, which had been arranged by the Lin family, but they heard such news.

Lin stood up, wearing a thin nightgown and a lavender gown embroidered with peony flowers, and spoke to Bai Chuyao with some concern.

"Shall we go back to the Bai family?"

"......Well, I'll get back to you tomorrow morning. Let's let things ferment for a while today."

Bai Chuyao waved his hand, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Seeing Bai Chuyao's calmness, Lin nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Bai Chuyao had figured it out.

"I have to attend the morning court tomorrow." Bai Chuyao said to Lin very gently.

"We must all take a good rest today and not run around working for them."

After hearing these words, Lin felt that Bai Chuyao was really calm.

She nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "Seeing my husband like this, I am relieved."

Bai Chuyao can definitely solve this problem.

"it is good."

Tonight, Bai Chuyao and Lin slept in each other's arms.

Since they were not at the Bai family's house and the children were not making noise around them, they slept well.

Early the next morning, servants from the Bai family came to take Bai Chuyao and Lin back home.

Bai Chuyao said to Lin calmly, "When I finish my morning court session, I will go back to the Lin residence to pick you up, and then we will go back to the Bai family together."

"Otherwise, I'm really worried about letting you face this group of idiots from the Bai family alone."

Father and Mother Lin also nodded and said to Lin with a smile: "Since you got married and became a mother, you haven't returned to the Lin family for a long time."

"Come on, come on, come here and talk to your parents."

Father Lin stroked his beard with a smile, looking quite upright.

"Since my father resigned from his position in the court, he has been idle at home for a long time... I have nothing to do. I wanted to go and see you before, but your Bai family... is not a good place to visit."

After all, the relationship between Bai Yansong and Bai Chuyao is a bit complicated. If I go to the Bai family, I will definitely have to deal with Bai Yansong. Father Lin is afraid that Bai Chuyao will be angry, so it is not a good idea to go.

Lin nodded and stayed at the Lin family to reminisce about the past with Lin's father and mother.

When Bai Chuyao attended the morning court, he could hear people around him whispering about him.

Those voices were full of gloating.

"Oh... have you heard? The eldest son of the Bai family was so cruel that he almost forced his second brother's wife - the future second brother's wife - to death!"

"Oh my God, I heard that too, I heard that too, it's really speechless."

"Why would an elder brother like him care about his younger brother's marriage? His father Bai Yansong is not dead!!"

"Oh, you don't know this, right? This is the secret of their family! You know, the father and son of the Bai family are not on the same page, so Bai Chuyao didn't want Bai Yansong to ignore his second brother's marriage, so he made the decision himself, which is why such a thing happened!! "

"Oh my god, what did Miss Xu Wanrong do wrong? They are fighting between father and son, why do they have to drag the girl into it?"

"That's exactly what you said!" None of these ministers liked Bai Chuyao very much.

However, since today was the first time the situation had fermented, the censors had not made sufficient preparations to criticize Bai Chuyao. They had to wait until tomorrow to catch some small tails and mistakes of Bai Chuyao in the officialdom, and then go to the Xu family to obtain some testimony from Miss Xu Wanrong...

Then we can severely impeach Bai Chuyao and sue him to death in the court! !

Everyone stared at Bai Chuyao.

The emperor also stared at Bai Chuyao with a worried look on his face.

Oh, I must say something to Bai Chuyao... and ask Bai Chuyao to accept Xu Wanrong as his sister-in-law.

Otherwise, he could ask Bai Chuyao not to leave the house for the next few days... He would help to handle all matters in the court, and then ask Bai Lu to come to Kyoto to deal with the matter.

After the court session, he called Bai Chuyao directly into the imperial study.

In the imperial study, the emperor sighed and said to Bai Chuyao, "Oh, Chuyao, speaking of this matter... it's all my fault. If I hadn't really been in the mood to care about your affairs a few days ago, I'm afraid it wouldn't have turned out like this."

The emperor sighed at Bai Chuyao and said, "How about we marry Xu Wanrong into the Bai family?"

Bai Chuyao refused: "Xu Wanrong and the Xu family have impure motives, how can we marry them?!"

"Although what the Empress Dowager often said before, that marriage comes first and love comes later, is reasonable, but Xu Wanrong is so scheming that she knows how to commit suicide. If she is married home... I'm afraid the Bai family will be in chaos."

"There's no way I'm going to let my brother bear this."

The emperor was so angry that he couldn't help but said to Bai Chuyao: "What should we do?!"

"...Then you can only ask Bai Lu, but Bai Lu is always busy!"

Bai Chuyao interrupted the emperor immediately and said with a smile: "Why do you have to invite my sister over to solve this matter?"

"I'm her brother, I should be the one protecting her from the wind and rain, but now, I always ask my sister to come and clean up the mess for me. Why? Why?"

"And is it possible that... I am not as capable as my sister and I cannot solve this matter?"

The emperor was stunned when he heard this.

He subconsciously felt that Bai Lu was an expert in harem and palace fighting, so he felt that Bai Lu should be able to solve the matter.

The emperor couldn't help but look a little embarrassed. Perhaps deep down in his heart...he also wanted Bai Lu to come to the palace.

He also wanted Bai Lu to come back to Kyoto again. After all, he didn't get along well with Bai Lu last time, and he missed Bai Lu a little, so he did this.

Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Chuyao calmly said to the emperor: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely solve this matter properly."

"...Don't worry, Miss Xu Wanrong and the Xu family will be satisfied, the Bai family will be satisfied, and I will be satisfied too."

After saying that, the emperor saw Bai Chuyao walking out with big strides.

Watching his back walking away, the emperor was a little dazed, and murmured to Zhang, the chief steward beside him: "...Chu Yao has changed."

"He used to have a good relationship with me..."
