Bai Chuxiao said coldly, "Lan Xin is right. No matter what, a father can't possibly want to strangle his own child. There are many strange things going on here."
After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Lan Xin, do you know the kind of debilitating poison and hypnosis method that the doctors in Beijing can't find out?"
Lan Xin smiled and nodded. Bai Chuxiao sneered, "When tomorrow's matter is over, go and have a good time with Xie and me, your father. I still have to hear what they say in person."
After that, he asked Qingshuang to go to Zhao's house and give Zhao Sifang a letter.
Early the next morning, Zhao made a scene like a madman. The doctor came and checked and found out that she was pregnant. Xie was furious and immediately took people to find trouble with Zhao, saying that Zhao was crazy and unfit to have a baby. There was a lot of commotion and by noon, Bai Linnan came back from court. The old lady then called them all over.
After entering Furongyuan, Bai Chuxiao saw Zhao kneeling on the ground with her hands on her belly. Xie said angrily, "Mother, Master, Zhao is so crazy and insane. How can she be suitable for having children? Our family is about to be related to the prince, so we can't let her stay."
Bai Chuxiao smiled faintly and said, "Second Madam, what you said is wrong. Chuxiao just heard from the doctor that Aunt Zhao's baby is very likely to be a boy. We don't have many male offspring in the Zuo Xiang Mansion right now, so Aunt Zhao's baby comes at the right time."
The old lady was naturally happy to hear that it was a boy. It would be a shame if there was only one boy in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. If something unexpected happened, the family line would be cut off. However, Xie relied on her status as the crown prince and refused to give in. She would not tolerate this child at all.
"Linan, I think what Chu Xiao said is right. You have too few offspring now. It would be better if Zhao's baby is born safely."
Bai Linan was naturally happy to have more boys to continue the family line. After all, no one could say for sure whether the eldest son would become successful, so having more sons was always a safer option. However, Xie didn't want to cause any trouble, so it would be inappropriate at this critical juncture.
Seeing him so hesitant, the old lady turned to look at Bai Chuxiao and asked, "Chuxiao, do you have any good ideas?"
Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "Since the Second Madam thinks Aunt Zhao is crazy, why not let Yun'er accompany Aunt Zhao to our villa in Jiangnan to recuperate?"
Mrs. Xie yelled, "Shut up, you have no right to interfere in the affairs of your elders." She didn't want Mrs. Zhao to give birth to the child safely and then compete with her child in the future. No matter how noble her daughter was, she would always rely on her son in the future. Now that her daughter's relationship with the prince was almost settled, she was no longer polite to Bai Chuxiao.
Bai Chuxiao said coldly, "Aunt Xie is so intolerant, are you trying to instigate my father to kill his son?"
Hearing this, Bai Linan thought of what he wanted to do before. He was startled and looked at Bai Chuxiao. Could it be that this daughter knew something? This shouldn't be the case.
Bai Chuxiao looked at him with a mocking smile on her face.
Mrs. Xie was furious again. "What nonsense are you talking about, you bitch? You have no right to speak here. I am the mistress of the house now, but you still call me aunt. I have been too indulgent to you, which is why you don't know your place."
Bai Linan slammed the table heavily and said, "Stop arguing, it's disgraceful." At this moment, a servant came in and reported that the eldest son of the Zhao family wanted to see him.
Bai Linnan walked away in a huff. The old lady was annoyed by the noise and also walked away with a swipe of her forehead. When Mrs. Xie saw that they had all left, she looked at Bai Chuxiao and said sternly, "Today, I will teach you a lesson and teach you how to respect the mistress of the house."
After saying that, he ordered the maids around him to hold Bai Chuxiao down, and then signaled the eldest maid Caiyue to slap her in the face.
Bai Chuxiao raised a cold smile and gave Qingshuang and Qingzhu a look. Qingzhu took out a whip and whipped the maids until they screamed on the ground, while Qingshuang slapped Caiyue to the ground with a big slap.
Seeing this, Xie was a little flustered and pointed at Bai Chuxiao, "You bitch...how dare you..."
Bai Chuxiao approached, pinched her chin hard, and said in a cold voice, "You are not qualified to talk about hierarchy. I will tell you today that I am the superior and you are the inferior in this mansion. If you don't behave yourself, I will not let you go."
Xie was so frightened by the murderous look in his eyes that he fell to the ground, speechless. When Bai Linan came back, he saw the mess on the ground.
He shouted angrily, "What's going on again?" Xie quickly grabbed the corner of Bai Linan's clothes and said in shock, "Master, she is a witch..."
The old lady was also startled by the noise outside and came out again. Seeing Qingzhu still beating the maids, she pounded the floor with her cane and said sternly, "Don't stop!"
Only then did they quiet down. Xie said in panic, "Mother, Master, look at what she looks like. Is she trying to beat up the mistress of the house?"
The old lady was also somewhat dissatisfied, "Chu Xiao, what's going on? As a young lady, how can you indulge your maidservants to fight and kill each other?"
Bai Chuxiao said indifferently, "It's because Aunt Xie has forgotten her origins that she dares to discuss superiority with a legitimate daughter like me. I have no choice but to ask the maids around me to teach Aunt Xie's servants. If Aunt Xie still doesn't understand, next time I won't just teach a servant a lesson."
Xie cried and complained, "Master, look at her, she doesn't take me, the mistress of the house, seriously at all, and she doesn't take you seriously either."
Bai Linan said angrily, "You rebellious girl, a junior is actually lecturing an elder. If you get upset one day, will you even teach a lesson to me, your father? You two girls can't stay here any longer."
Then he ordered loudly, "Bai Fu, come in, drag these two girls out and give them twenty strokes of the cane."
Bai Chuxiao also said in a stern voice, "Wait a minute, Qingzhu Qingshuang is not a maid in the Bai Mansion. This girl was given to me by the Prince of Yan. Father is so powerful. Is he going to manage people for His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?"
Bai Linan was furious, but he didn't dare to touch the two girls anymore.
Upon hearing this, the old lady came out to smooth things over. "Okay, stop making a fuss, and let's talk about how to deal with Zhao's affairs." She turned to look at Bai Linan and asked
"In my opinion, why don't we listen to Chu Xiao and send her to the Jiangnan Villa to give birth and raise her. She will be very noisy in the mansion."
Xie shouted, "Master, you can't do that. How can a concubine go to another courtyard? If people tell others, it will make people laugh. Besides, the third girl is also going to be married, how can she go to Jiangnan with her?" After going to Jiangnan, how could she torture this mother and daughter?
Bai Linan thought of Zhao Sifang's purpose of coming just now. He had also heard about this matter and mentioned that he wanted to take his aunt and cousin to take care of them. The Zhao family was the richest family in Daxia, with businesses all over the world. Zhao Sifang was the future heir to the family, and he had great say. Money was indispensable in officialdom, so he would naturally not give up the Zhao family's cash cow, and of course he would not refuse Zhao Sifang's wishes.
Then he made up his mind and said in a deep voice, "Then let Yun'er accompany Zhao to Jiangnan. Zhao, you must cultivate your character and give birth to the child safely when you go to Jiangnan. Don't make a fuss anymore."
Zhao knelt down and replied, "I understand. Thank you, Master and Madam."
Mrs. Xie wanted to say something, but Bai Linan interrupted her, "Stop making a fuss. As the mistress of the house, you should be magnanimous. Mrs. Zhao will not be a bother to you in the future."
