The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky

When Bai Chuxiao walked into the front hall, Bai Linan, the old lady, and several sisters and aunts were all there. Bai Chudie knelt on the ground and said, "Father, this has nothing to do with Dier."

Bai Linan looked at the letter in his hand, then went down and slapped Bai Chudie, "You rebellious girl, you actually did something that ruined the family tradition. The eldest princess even wrote a letter to reprimand you. What else do you have to say?"

Bai Chudie covered her face and cried, "Father, I didn't mean it."

Then he saw Bai Chuxiao walking in at this time and pointed at her, "It's all her fault. She and the fourth sister pushed our daughter together, causing our daughter to lose her balance and causing trouble for the second sister and Miss Li."

Bai Chuyun was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about? You failed to push me and my elder sister, but you lost your balance and dared to pull us."

"Second sister, second sister, please say something for Die'er. This matter was caused by the two of them, right? Bai Chuxiao must have been unwilling to see you shine at the banquet, so she tricked you into falling into the water. Second sister, Madam, you all have to stand up for Die'er."

Bai Chudie didn't know what happened at the banquet. She just pulled at Bai Chuwan's skirt and begged. Bai Chuwan thought about how she got nothing at the banquet this time, and her face became even uglier. She was even more jealous of Bai Chuxiao and didn't want to talk at all.

Aunt Lan also knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Please investigate clearly, Master. How could the Fourth Miss be so bold? She usually respects her Second Sister. How could she push her Second Sister? It must be the Eldest Miss who is behind this."

Xie naturally would not miss this opportunity and stood up and said, "Yes, Master, Die is usually well-behaved and would never have the courage to do such a thing."

Then he looked at Bai Chuxiao and said with a reproachful tone, "Miss, if you don't like Wan'er, you can express it in the mansion. How can you carry out such a sinister scheme at the banquet hosted by the eldest princess? Isn't this bringing shame to our mansion?"

Bai Chuyun was so angry that she jumped out and said, "What does it have to do with eldest sister? Fourth sister was originally brought by second sister. If there is any instigation, it was second sister. She just wanted to embarrass eldest sister, but instead hurt herself. Besides, eldest sister is the champion of this Spring Banquet, second sister can't compare to her."

Bai Linan slapped the table angrily, then looked at Bai Chuxiao, "Okay, stop arguing, tell me what's going on."

Bai Chuxiao said coldly, "Father, what else do you want me to say? Didn't the eldest princess write very clearly about it? She also said who was to blame for this matter. Wasn't my second sister here too? Why did she start making trouble again after returning to the mansion? Could it be that she is dissatisfied with the eldest princess's decision?"

Then he looked at Xie and Bai Chuwan and said coldly, "Second sister, you brought Fourth sister to the banquet, didn't you want her to embarrass me as Ru Yun'er said? How dare Second Madam to talk about such a sinister plan? You are really shameless!"

Bai Chuwan was also angry, "Sister, is there any evidence that I ordered it? Besides, your mother is your elder, and you actually cursed her. You really have no manners."

"Are you qualified to talk to me about the rules? After today, everyone in the capital will know that it was Aunt Xie in the mansion who was not worthy of the responsibility of teaching the head lady, which caused the Zuo Xiang Mansion to lose face. What do you think, father?" Bai Chuxiao said lightly.

Bai Linan looked at the people in the room and felt that they were worried. He also remembered that the servant had just reported that Wan'er was sent back by the prince and Bai Chuxiao was sent back by the King of Yan. These two daughters would marry into the royal family in the future. There would be no benefit in tearing up the relationship.

Then he slammed the table and said, "Shut up, both of you. You two sisters are the legitimate daughters of the mansion, you should live in harmony. It is inappropriate to quarrel. And you, Xie, you should control everyone in the mansion from now on."

He then said in a cold voice, "As for the fourth girl, according to the family rules, she will kneel in the ancestral hall for a month and reflect on her mistakes. From now on, no one is allowed to take her out without my order."

In Concubine Wei's Weiyang Palace, Chu Tianling was leisurely drinking tea.

Concubine Wei said worriedly, "How can you still sit still? Now that Prince Xiang and the one from the Liu family, and the prince and the one from the Bai family are both about to get together, you don't care at all. Do you have any intention of competing for the second Miss Bai? There is still a chance now."

Chu Tianling curled his lips and said, "Mother, at today's banquet, I found Miss Bai to be quite interesting. As for Miss Bai, she was just pretty."

He and the Crown Prince did love to go to the Left Prime Minister’s residence. Bai Chuwan was beautiful, and her father was the Left Prime Minister. He thought it would be nice to marry her, but now…

"Oh? I heard that she is the champion of this year, so she should be pretty good, but she is already engaged to the seventh brother."

"So what if we have an engagement? We haven't gotten married yet. Mother, can you think of a way? The eldest daughter of the Bai family is very much to my liking."

Chu Tianling's voice was a little colder. He was unwilling to let such an excellent woman belong to the Seventh Brother. How could the Seventh Brother compare to him? The other brothers wanted to curry favor with the Seventh Brother, but his uncle was the Duke of Zhenguo, commanding a large army to guard the north and also had military power. He did not need to rely on the Seventh Brother's influence.

Concubine Wei looked at her son like this, and she must have really been concerned about Miss Bai. "But this is the marriage that your father personally granted. How can the emperor change his promise? Besides, Miss Bai was raised in the Murong family. It is said that the Wei family has some connection with the Murong family. I am afraid this matter is not appropriate..."

Chu Tianling was puzzled. He really didn't know what the connection between the two families was. After Concubine Wei dismissed the attendants and led everyone out of the palace, she looked at Chu Tianling and explained:

"This happened decades ago. Back then, it was the old Duke Dingguo, the late Queen's father, who led a million strong army to help your father conquer the world. General Murong was a general under the old Duke Dingguo. Your uncle was also under the old Duke Dingguo, but he was just a lieutenant at that time."

"Then why is my uncle named Duke of Zhenguo, while the Murong family is only a third-rank military officer now?" Chu Tianling asked puzzled.

Concubine Wei said calmly, "When the country was first settled, the old Duke Dingguo guarded the north, and General Murong was sent by your father to guard the west. He was also granted the title of marquis. However, after the defeat in the north, he asked to have his title stripped. Your uncle made contributions in that battle and saved the situation, so he was promoted step by step."

"But the war in the north is not the fault of the Murong family. What is his intention? However, if we think about it this way, our two families both served under the old Duke Dingguo, but we rose to prominence in the military in different ways. Now, I think there is nothing wrong with marrying Miss Bai."

Imperial Concubine Wei didn't want to say anything more. "This matter is complicated and involves a lot of people. I can't say more to you. However, the Wei family and the Murong family didn't have much relationship back then. If you really want to get married, it's not a big deal. After all, it's just her maternal grandfather's family. You still have to rely on the left prime minister in the future."

"Then my mother may be able to get some help from my father. The marriage has just been granted and the wedding date has not yet been decided."

"Do you really want Miss Bai? This matter is not easy to handle. Don't let the Bai family lose this opportunity. Your father may not be able to say anything. But if you can get Miss Bai yourself, this matter will be much easier."

"Son, of course I am serious. Thank you, mother."
