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

Bai Chuxiao smiled at Mrs. Xie and said, "Aunt Xie, there is no need to bother me anymore. Since there are no other empty courtyards, Xiaoxiao can just go back to live in the Liuli Courtyard." She then said to Mrs. Wei aggrievedly, "Grandma, what do you think about this?"

Wei hesitated, "This..."

Mrs. Xie immediately shouted, "How can that be...", then realized that her tone was not good, and changed her smile and said quickly, "Xiaoxiao, your second sister is living in Liuliyuan now. You just came back and want to drive your second sister away. This is not appropriate to spread out, mother, don't you think?"

Bai Chuxiao was surprised and said, "Aunt Xie is wrongly accusing Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao didn't want to drive my second sister away. I originally lived in that yard. Xiaoxiao thought that grandma and father must have kept the yard waiting for Xiaoxiao to come back, but who knew..." As she spoke, she kept coughing.

When Wei heard this, her heart softened, "Xiaoxiao, of course grandma is thinking of you." Then she waved her hand and ordered, "Yingchun, go see if the prime minister has returned and ask him to come over."

After a long while, Bai Linan strode in and bowed to the old lady, "Son, meet your mother." After Wei responded, he walked to the other side and sat down in the main seat. Bai Linan looked at the people in the room and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The old lady smiled and said, "Linan, Chuxiao is back." She then took Bai Chuxiao's hand and said, "Come and meet your father."

Bai Chuxiao looked at this so-called father, a man with a square face, who had been in a high position for many years. He was dignified but also had a scholarly air. He must have looked good when he was young. No wonder her mother insisted on marrying him. However, Bai Chuxiao found it difficult to feel close to him. He caused his original wife to die of depression, and he had ignored his own daughter for many years. Such a man was not worthy of being her father. However, she had to save face.

"Xiaoxiao meets father," Bai Chuxiao bowed to Bai Linan indifferently.

Bai Linan looked at her daughter. She was not absolutely beautiful, but she was pretty. However, her health did not look good. This reminded her of the time when she first met Murong Xue. She was cheerful and generous, and had a bright smile. But later... what a pity.

"Get up. Now that you're back, take good care of yourself." There was no joy in his voice.

When Bai Linan came, Xie immediately felt that she had a backbone and complained, "Master, Chu Xiao is not satisfied with the residence I arranged for her and insists on living in Wan'er's current Liuli Courtyard. What should I do?"

Bai Chuxiao sneered in her heart, "Father, Xiaoxiao doesn't want to compete with my second sister for anything, but that courtyard was originally where I lived. Xiaoxiao originally thought that father left it empty and waited for Xiaoxiao to come back and live there." She pretended to be sad and said, "Since my second sister lives there, Xiaoxiao should live in Chenxiang Courtyard. We can't waste Aunt Xie's painstaking efforts. But now I have an engagement with Prince Yan..."

The old lady also perked up when she heard the name of King Yan. "Linan, King Yan just won a battle and is engaged to Xiaoxiao. The Chenxiang Courtyard is indeed a bit run-down. If King Yan knew about this, he would probably think that we look down on him..."

Bai Linan was also shocked, and forgot about the marriage. Although the Prince of Yan had no chance of getting that position, he had 200,000 soldiers under his command, and was also the target of the other princes' wooing. He should not be underestimated.

Seeing this, Bai Chuwan knew that she would have to give up the courtyard today. She sneered in her heart. It was still uncertain whether the King of Yan would marry her or not. Bai Chuxiao had borrowed her power in advance. Thinking of this, she suddenly stood up and looked at Bai Linnan pitifully, "Father, since my elder sister wants to live in Liuli Courtyard, Wan'er will give it to her. I will not make things difficult for you."

Bai Linan looked at Wan'er and felt comforted. This daughter was not only beautiful, but also sensible. Who in Beijing would not envy him for having such an outstanding daughter?

"Wan'er, father knows that you are the most sensible. You go live with your mother first. When your father has decorated Qinya Courtyard, you can move in later."

Bai Chuwan changed the subject and continued, "Thank you, father. But father, mother has long been promoted to the principal wife and has been in charge of the family for many years, but my elder sister calls her aunt. Where does this put mother?"

Xie also reacted and immediately cried, "Yes, Master, I have worked hard for the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, and the eldest lady..."

Bai Linan looked at Bai Chuxiao and said in a deep voice, "Nonsense, Xie is now the mistress of the Zuo Xiang Mansion, you should also call her mother."

Bai Chuxiao looked at him in surprise, "Father, you are wrong. Nowadays, Daxia attaches great importance to etiquette. How can we let the eldest daughter born to the original wife call a concubine her mother?"

Xie was angry again and started crying, "Master, what does it mean that the eldest lady keeps calling me concubine? Master, please make the decision for me."

Bai Chuxiao said calmly, "Which decent official in this dynasty would approve of a concubine becoming the first wife? Moreover, Aunt Xie, you entered the mansion without any status or position back then..."

Bai Linan slammed the table and said, "Enough! Are you dissatisfied with your father's decision? You really should be taught a lesson."

The old lady was naturally happy to see Xie Shi suffer a setback, just in time to dampen Xie Xianglan's arrogance, so that she wouldn't take her lightly. However... too much is as bad as too little, so she came out to smooth things over, "Okay, Xiaoxiao is the eldest daughter, it's really not appropriate to call her mother." She looked at Chu Xiao and smiled, "Xiaoxiao, calling her aunt isn't quite appropriate, how about calling her the second lady?"

Bai Chuxiao could see that her grandmother was also dissatisfied with Xie, but they could stand on the same side for a short period of time. She was also happy to give the old lady some face, so she bowed respectfully to the old lady and said, "Grandma, I will obey you."

Seeing Bai Chuxiao's respectful and well-behaved appearance, the old lady felt more and more satisfied, and she also had some support in her heart. Looking at the people in the room, she said lightly, "Okay, I'm tired too, you all can go away."

Then he said to Bai Chuxiao affectionately, "Xiaoxiao, you stay here and talk to grandma first. Take your second sister to clean up the Liuli Courtyard, then you can go back."

Bai Chuxiao replied with a bit of childish innocence, "Yes, Grandma, Xiaoxiao has a lot to say to you..."

After returning to Liuli Courtyard and closing the door, Bai Chuwan changed her calm and sensible appearance and swept everything on the dressing table to the ground with an angry look. Xie stepped forward to persuade her, "Wan'er, I'm really wronged you. Mother will definitely decorate Qinya Courtyard better than this."

Bai Chuwan was still furious, "Mother, this Bai Chuxiao is too much. She wanted to take my yard as soon as she came back. She is so disrespectful to mother, and yet my grandmother still protects her."

Mrs. Xie twisted her handkerchief and said, "Humph, this old woman has provided her with good food and drink for so many years, but now she sides with that bitch. How hateful!"

"Mother, Bai Chuxiao hasn't even gotten married yet, and now she's using the Prince of Yan's name to make trouble. The Crown Prince and the Prince of Qi aren't sure about their attitudes right now. I don't want to be oppressed by that bitch Bai Chuxiao in the future. What do you think I should do?" Bai Chuwan looked at Mrs. Xie with a worried look on her face.

Xie comforted her, "Wan'er, with your looks, intelligence, and family background, as long as your father is willing, I think it won't be a problem for the Crown Prince and the King of Qi."

After thinking for a while, she whispered, "I thought that bitch was easy to control, but now it seems that I have to find a way to ruin her marriage. Mother, please make a careful plan for this matter..."
