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

"Why?"

Bai Youyou sneered at his specious words, "If a child is born but not raised, it is the parents' fault. If a child is raised but not taught, it is the parents' disaster. If a child is not taught well, it is the parents' fault. What you should do is to reflect on yourself instead of meaninglessly showing favoritism!"

Too lazy to argue with him anymore, Bai Youyou turned to Bai Qingyu and said, "Uncle, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Well, you go back."

Bai Qingyu waved at her.

Originally, he called Bai Youyou over just to show it to the elders, to prove that it was not that he was narrow-minded and intolerant, but that the second branch was causing trouble themselves, and he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.

After Bai Youyou bowed and left, he asked someone to bring out the family tree.

"father!!"

When Bai Muchen heard this, he immediately screamed in panic, "Dad, please save your son. I really know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong!!"

He knelt in front of Bai Yanlang, crying, pulling at his clothes and begging desperately.

Things have come to this point, and Bai Yanlang can do nothing.

He sighed helplessly, turned his body and wiped his eyes, "What's the point of knowing your mistakes now? It's too late!"

Bai Muchen looked around as if for help, and when he saw Bai Luochuan, he felt like he saw his last straw.

He knelt down in front of Bai Luochuan with hope and kowtowed to him.

"Brother, I was the one who made the mistake because I was possessed by evil thoughts. Please forgive me this time. I will definitely work like a cow or a horse to repay you in the future!"

"Brother, I really know I was wrong!"

"Second brother!!"

His mournful pleading echoed in the spacious ancestral hall. Bai Yanlang couldn't bear it and pleaded with Bai Luochuan: "Luochuan, your third brother was really just blinded by greed. I will send him to the old house in the future. Can you forgive him this time?"

"He was just blinded by greed? Don't you feel guilty when you say this?"

Bai Luochuan laughed sarcastically, "In order to destroy me, he deliberately drugged me and set me up! In order to destroy me, he and his mother have been using the method of flattery to kill me since I was a child! You obviously knew it, so why did you turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear?!"

Bai Luochuan became more and more excited as he spoke, his voice rising higher and higher, and the grievances that had accumulated in his heart over the years suddenly erupted.

"Dad, am I your son? If it weren't for my sister running around for me and finding evidence, what would have happened to me?"

Even if he pays back the money, he will be infamous and his future will be ruined!

"Check your conscience. Do you really not feel any guilt towards me?"

He pointed at his chest, and tears fell from his eyes one by one.

"In order to please you, I have stooped to being a nobody and alienated myself from my mother to get close to an aunt of the Qiao family!"

"In order to please you, I have had to give in to my eldest brother and third brother in everything since I was a child!"

"Why?"

He glared at Bai Yanlang and shouted in anger, "I am the legitimate son, why should I give in to two illegitimate sons? Why?!"

Everyone looked at his eyes full of grievance and sighed for a moment.

"Actions speak louder than words. You are so biased in your actions. No wonder your family is in turmoil."

The clan leader glanced at Bai Yanlang indifferently, his muddy yellow eyes filled with disappointment and sighs.

With a powerful backer like the Duke of Zhenguo, even if he doesn't dote on the Lu family, at least he should give them the respect they deserve, right?

This idiot, instead of clinging to someone's power to seek a better future, he found a concubine just one year after his marriage to slap his wife in the face. Only a fool would help him!

No wonder the kids he had were all idiots, they just took after him.

"It is not surprising that a family with such misfortunes would suffer if they are not upright and do not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children."

The second elder of the clan hated people who favored their concubines over their wives the most. He glared at Bai Yanlang and snorted in displeasure.

"This is the consequence of not respecting the rules. You must be more vigilant in the future. Don't favor your concubine over your wife and bring disaster to your family."

After being criticized repeatedly by several elders, Bai Yanlang lowered his head, feeling so ashamed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Fortunately, the housekeeper came in with the family tree at this time.

"Patriarch, family tree."

The patriarch took the family tree, placed it on the table, spit on his hand, and then began to flip through the pages tremblingly.

When he turned to the page with Bai Muchen's name, he paused, picked up the brush beside him, dipped it in ink, and lightly stroked the name.

In this way, Bai Muchen was completely kicked out of the family tree, and he could no longer regard himself as a member of the Yongning Marquis Mansion.

Bai Muchen collapsed to the ground with a pale face. He looked at the clan leader in despair as he closed the family tree and was helped to stand up.

Yongning Marquis ordered the butler beside him, "Go and announce to everyone in the mansion that Bai Mulin has been expelled from Yongning Marquis's mansion. His life and death in the future will be his own responsibility. This has nothing to do with our mansion."

After saying that, he looked at the others and said, "It's over, let's just go our separate ways."

The clan leader is now eighty years old, and Yongning Hou quickly asked someone to bring a sedan chair, "Take the clan leader down to rest quickly, and take good care of him."

In a short while, everyone dispersed, and only Yongning Hou and Bai Yanlang and his son were left in the ancestral hall.

"The Luochuan incident has been making a lot of noise these days, and many court officials are discussing it." Yongning Hou stood with his hands behind his back, "What I said to you last time still counts. Since the elders are all here, we might as well deal with the division of the family at the same time."

Bai Yanlang's cheek muscles tensed up, "Brother, about the gambling debt..."

"The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion will not come forward to settle this matter. Even if you come to me, I have no way to deal with it. The Marquis' Mansion is such a big family, you can't just ignore the lives of others for the sake of one person, right?"

Yongning Hou coughed for a while, his breathing was a little difficult. He gasped and said, "Yong'an Hou is the prince's uncle, and Zhenguo Gong is not easy to mess with. Who do you dare to offend? Or you can ask mother, but she still cares about the future of my third brother."

Bai Yanlang himself knew that his mother cared most about her third brother who was a prefect in another city rather than him.

She would no longer care about herself, but she would definitely be concerned about the future of her third brother Bai Yanming.

Bai Yanlang pursed his lips and was speechless.

The original plan was to let someone from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion come forward to resolve the matter, which would not only serve to please the Crown Prince, but also solve the problem. Who knew that the idiot Third Brother would actually sign such an agreement with others!

Even if there was no such agreement, they could still deny it based on what those people said and say that they were slandering them.

Two days ago, he went to find the manager of the gambling house, Chen, and wanted to get the agreement back. Chen just laughed it off and said that the agreement was not with him and he would return it to him when he got it back.

I waited for a whole day but no one showed up.

Bai Yanlang now only prays that the agreement will not be obtained by the Duke of Zhenguo's people, so that they will have no substantial evidence and cannot send the third brother to the authorities.

But this is a real IOU, I can't deny it...

Moreover, Marquis Yong'an has an arrogant personality and is not easy to mess with.

Bai Yanlang paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, racking his brains but unable to find a solution. He pulled his hair in frustration.
