After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

The fact that Bai Muchen was expelled from the family was not known to other people beforehand, and Marquis Yongning acted very quickly, inviting all the elders of the clan to come within two days.

Except for the haggard-looking Bai Luochuan, Bai Yanlang and Bai Muchen and his son all felt their hearts sink when they saw the scene in front of them.

Bai Muchen was especially impressed, as he looked at those old men with gray beards, his legs trembling constantly.

He didn't know any of these people, but Marquis Yongning respectfully called them clan elders, and no matter how stupid he was, he knew what that meant.

This time, he was really scared.

"father!"

He looked at the person beside him in panic, like a frightened little animal, pulling at his sleeve tightly.

Bai Yanlang did not expect that his eldest brother would invite the clan elders. This matter was too sudden and caught him off guard.

He broke free from Bai Muchen's hand, strode to the high-ranking Bai Qingyu, and asked with a sullen face, "Brother, what do you mean?"

"As you can see."

Bai Qingyu looked calm.

Bai Yanlang looked at his distant look and became furious. "Even if you want to expel Muchen from the family tree, why didn't you discuss it with me first? If you do this, where will I, your brother, stand?!"

"It's not like I didn't give you a chance. In the previous incident with Bai Yaoyao, you said in person that you would control the people in the Second House. It's only been a few days, and your Second House has caused such a scandal again!"

Bai Qingyu glared at him coldly, "You didn't teach your son well, so don't blame me, your eldest brother, for being cruel!"

"Brother, no one is perfect. Mu Chen is not even an adult yet, can't you give him a chance to reform?"

"Age is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for him. Does that mean that just because he's young, the mistakes he made are no longer mistakes?"

Bai Qingyu shouted angrily, but seeing his pleading look, he sighed and advised earnestly: "To educate a son, you should first get rid of his arrogance, cultivate his humility, make him gentle, respectful and yielding, and behave without evil, so that he can be a son of the family."

"Second brother, love your children in the right way. Don't you understand now?"

Bai Yanlang loosened his clenched fists and drooped his shoulders dejectedly.

He had understood it before. He wanted to cultivate himself and set an example, but...

It's still too late!

"Brother..."

Bai Yanlang knew it was too late, but he still couldn't bear to see his son being expelled from the family tree.

His eyes were red, and he looked at him pleadingly, "Can you, can you again——"

"Second brother, there is no order without rules."

Bai Qingyu interrupted him and turned his head away from his eyes, "For the sake of the other people in the mansion, I have to do this."

An old man with white hair sitting in the main seat with Bai Qingyu also sighed at this time, "If a person does not eat when he is born, he will die. If a person does not learn when he is young, he will be stupid. Now that things have come to this, let's make a decision."

Several other elders had already known the whole story, and they also hated what Bai Muchen had done.

The second elder said solemnly: "Punish the guilty and forgive the guilty, punish those who have done wrong and reward those who have done good deeds, this is the way to build a family!"

The three elders of the clan also agreed with this. "A thousand-foot-high embankment can be breached by a hole made by an ant, and a hundred-foot-high room can be burned down by a spark of fire. In the future, all the young men in the clan should take this as a lesson, think twice before doing anything, and never make the same mistake again."

"Yes, yes."

At this time, the patriarch made a suggestion, and they nodded without any hesitation.

"no, do not want!"

Bai Muchen looked around at everyone in panic. He was so scared that his legs went weak and he kept backing away.

Bai Mulin stretched out his hand to hold his back, helping him to steady his body.

Bai Muchen saw a person as a lifeline. He grabbed Bai Mulin's sleeve and begged in a trembling voice: "Brother, please help me to beg the elders and uncle, beg them not to kick me out of the family!"

"I really know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and become a new person. Please help me beg for mercy!"

Bai Mulin lowered his head, feeling helpless.

He himself is still a criminal, so how can he be qualified to plead for him?

Sure enough, before Bai Mulin opened his mouth, a young man in blue brocade clothes sneered, "You're going to ask cousin Mulin for mercy? He himself is guilty of his crimes, how can he have the nerve to plead for you?"

"That's right." Another young man in a smoky blue robe echoed: "If a person doesn't know the past and present, he is like a horse or an ox. If a scholar doesn't know shame, he is like a dog or a pig in human clothing!"

Bai Mulin's face turned red as they scolded him in unison. He pursed his lips tightly and pinched his palms tightly with his fingers under his sleeves.

The intense pain made the string of reason in his brain tightly stretched, preventing him from rushing forward and fighting with the two men.

"Don't overstep the boundaries in front of your elders."

The two were about to say something else, but Bai Zhengnan glanced at them and started to scold them.

"Got it, big brother."

The two boys shrank their necks and immediately stood beside him obediently.

The room was full of men, even Bai Luochuan, who had been locked up in the woodshed, was there. It was a huge group of people.

The young ones were all standing, and the seven older ones were sitting on both sides. At the head sat Marquis Yongning and an octogenarian.

When Bai Youyou came, she was a little stunned when she saw this scene.

"What are you doing here?!"

As soon as Bai Yanlang saw her, he finally had an outlet for his anger, "Go back!"

"I asked her to come."

Yongning Hou waved at Bai Youyou, "Youyou, come quickly and meet the clan leader and several elders."

Bai Youyou glanced at Bai Yanlang coldly, walked straight past him, walked to the center of the ancestral hall, and knelt down to salute.

"Meet the clan leader, several clan elders, and uncle."

Several elders looked at her, then looked at Bai Qingyu, with some confusion in their eyes.

"Qingyu, why did you ask this girl to come here?"

Bai Qingyu explained: "Lu said she was not feeling well today, so she came here on behalf of Lu."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Youyou and said, "Your mother said before that your third brother's case would be brought to justice. Is there any way to turn this around now?"

"No." Bai Youyou shook her head without any hesitation.

"Rebellious girl, how can you be so cruel!"

Bai Yanlang raised his hands in anger. Bai Luochuan, who had been standing in the corner without saying a word since he entered the door, rushed over and stood in front of Bai Youyou.

With a "slap", the slap landed heavily on Bai Luochuan's face.

Bai Luochuan had been hungry for the past few days and was in great mental torment. He had lost a lot of weight visibly.

Five distinct red and white finger marks appeared on half of his face. Facing his cold and distant eyes, Bai Yanlang was startled, "Luochuan, Dad..."

"My sister is weak and can't stand your beating."

Bai Youyou was a little surprised by Bai Luochuan's protection. Considering his "criminal record", Bai Youyou decided to observe him for a while.

She walked out from behind Bai Luochuan, her beautiful eyes full of coldness, "Bai Muchen knows the laws of the Great Zhou, but he still dares to betray and commit fraud. Why are you venting your anger on me?"

Seeing the contemptuous and mocking eyes of the people around him, Bai Yanlang blushed and roared with his neck stiff, "He is your third brother, can't you forgive him once?"
