The daughter of the first wife is a little fierce: the war god prince loves her to the sky
Chapter 3 Returning home
After a few days, Bai Chuxiao and her group arrived in Kyoto. After opening the car curtains and looking at the bustling streets, Lanxiang and Qingzhu said excitedly, "Miss, Kyoto is so lively!"
Bai Chuxiao looked at both sides of the street. Dingzhou was in the northwest border, so it was naturally not as prosperous and lively as Kyoto. However, she had secretly come to Kyoto many times, so she was not as surprised and curious as Lanxiang and Qingzhu. After passing through the outer city and entering the inner city, Aunt Xu led the way to the East Lane. The carriage stopped in front of a magnificent house.
Nanny Xu said contemptuously, "Miss, we are here, please come in." Without waiting for Bai Chuxiao to say anything, she led the four maids into the mansion without looking back.
Qingzhu opened the curtain and turned back angrily, "Miss, this Xu Ma is too unreasonable. I really want to teach her a lesson."
Lan Xiang helped Bai Chuxiao get out of the car. She looked at the tightly closed door of the Xiangfu and was very angry. "Miss, they are really going too far. Miss came back from a long distance, but the door is not even opened."
Bai Chuxiao looked at the prime minister's residence. The plaque on the door was written in a flourish of dragons and phoenixes. There were two stone lions on both sides of the door, which made the prime minister's residence look very majestic.
Bai Chuxiao was still wearing a moon-colored gown at this time, her face was pale, and she ordered coldly, "Lanxiang, go knock on the door, knock louder, it would be best if everyone could come over to see the rules of the Zuo Xiang Mansion."
Lan Xiang immediately stepped forward and said, "The young lady is back, why don't you open the door?" After knocking several times, there was no response from inside the door.
Bai Chuxiao sneered at this and said, "Lanxiang, come here, Qingzhu, go over there, take out the whip and play with it. I want to see how strong the door of this prime minister's mansion is."
Hearing this, Qingzhu excitedly pulled out the red whip from his waist and swung it in front of the mansion gate. The noise attracted a lot of onlookers. They looked at the excitement in front of the mansion gate and whispered to each other, wondering if this could be the legendary eldest daughter of the Bai family.
Just as everyone was guessing, the gate of the mansion finally opened. An old servant who looked like a housekeeper came with a few servants. Zhou Hai shouted, "How dare you cause trouble in front of the left prime minister's mansion." Then he signaled the servants to catch Qingzhu.
The green bamboo whip was waved, and several servants did not dare to step forward. "You are the one who is presumptuous, you dog slave, open your dog eyes and see clearly, this is the eldest lady of the mansion, you cunning servant, why don't you open the door to welcome the lady in, what do you mean by doing this?"
After listening to Qingzhu's words, the crowd came to their senses. It turned out that this was really the eldest daughter of the Bai family. Seeing her so weak and sickly, everyone felt pity for her. At this moment, Bai Chuxiao suddenly pinched Lanxiang quietly.
Lan Xiang understood immediately and said to Zhou Hai with tears in her eyes, "Sir, I know that Madam doesn't like Miss, but no matter how much she dislikes her, you can't let Miss stand outside the door all the time. Miss has caught a cold from traveling all the way, how can she bear this?"
The housekeeper pointed in panic, "You're talking nonsense..." Before she could finish the rest of the sentence, Bai Chuxiao began to wipe her tears again, and said weakly to Zhou Hai, "Please ask Aunt Xie to come out. Tell Aunt that Chuxiao will definitely not fight with Second Sister this time. Please don't shut Chuxiao out," Bai Chuxiao said while wiping her tears sadly.
The onlookers couldn't bear it and began to stand up to speak for Bai Chuxiao. They pointed at Zhou Hai and cursed, "You have really strict rules in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion. You don't even let the legitimate daughter in. The Left Prime Minister's wife is so narrow-minded." Zhou Hai felt something was wrong after hearing these words, and hurried into the mansion to report to the wife.
No one blocked her way, so Bai Chuxiao didn't go in. She stood in front of the door, wiping her tears. After a while, Xie, who was about 40 years old and well-maintained, came out holding the hand of a maid, followed by Aunt Xu and Zhou Hai, who had just come over.
Xie's face was full of smiles and a trace of heartache. She hurried over and took Bai Chuxiao's hand, "This must be Xiaoxiao. I haven't seen you for many years. How come you look so thin? Mother has been waiting for you to come back to the mansion."
Seeing this, Bai Chuxiao still wiped her tears and said to Mrs. Xie carefully, "I thought Aunt Xie didn't like Xiaoxiao, so she asked the housekeeper to leave Xiaoxiao outside the door and not allow her to enter the house. Xiaoxiao is really wronged."
Hearing her call her aunt, Xie was extremely angry, but she did not dare to show it in front of so many people. She could only turn around angrily and scold the housekeeper, "You cunning servant, who gave you the courage to stop the young lady from returning home?"
Zhou Hai knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting, "Madam, I know I was wrong, but the eldest lady has been raised in Dingzhou for many years, and I didn't recognize her at first, and thought she was here to cause trouble."
Xie didn't look at the housekeeper, but said to Bai Chuxiao affectionately, "Xiaoxiao, it's just a misunderstanding. You haven't been home for many years, and the servants in the mansion can't recognize you. Mother will definitely punish these servants severely for you."
Then she changed the subject and said worriedly, "But Xiaoxiao, you can't let your maid whip me no matter what. This is not something a lady from a noble family would do. You must not keep this girl by your side to serve you after you return home. But it's also true that you have been in Dingzhou for many years and no one has taught you these rules. Your mother will definitely teach you well in the future. You are the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu, and you must not lose face for the Xiangfu."
Hearing this, Bai Chuxiao sneered in her heart. Is this to confirm my reputation of being talentless and immoral? But her face looked even more sad. She said weakly, "Aunt Xie, Xiaoxiao is not in good health. Grandfather arranged Qingzhu to serve me for Xiaoxiao's safety. Qingzhu did everything just to protect the master."
Bai Chuxiao coughed a few times and then said, "It's just that these servants in the mansion are really abominable. Aunt Xu came to pick me up and went into the mansion before Xiaoxiao to pass on the message. These servants actually evaded the question by saying that they didn't know the young lady was already in front of the mansion. There must be someone behind this, otherwise how could a small steward dare to stop the eldest young lady of the prime minister's mansion?"
Xie was filled with hatred, but she didn't want to continue to argue outside the mansion. With so many people watching, it would be bad for her reputation, so she could only put on a friendly smile again, "Xiaoxiao, it's windy outside, let's go back home first. Mother will definitely seek justice for you."
Bai Chuxiao did not refute, she glanced towards the dark alley on the right, and then let Xie take her hand and go in. The onlookers dispersed when they saw the real owner had gone in.
At this time, two figures jumped out from the corner. Yu Fengyang waved his fan and joked to the man in dark clothes beside him, "Tianze, although your fiancée looks fragile, she is not as easy to bully as the rumors say. There will be some excitement in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion."
Chu Tianze smiled, but his words were cold, "Weak and fragile, that's not necessarily true", His Royal Highness Prince Yan thought silently in his heart, it was clear that Bai Chuxiao had discovered them just now.
Yu Fengyang looked at the smile on Chu Tianze's face and sized him up in disbelief. "Tianze, you can actually smile. It seems like you are very satisfied with this Miss Bai. Have you decided to marry her?"
Chu Tianze did not answer, but still smiled. He just stared at Zuo Xiangfu in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.
