"Mrs. Qiao, there is no need to rush to get Fifth Sister to change her words. Black cannot be whitened, and white cannot be blackened. If I don't prove my innocence in front of everyone today, someone might use this as an excuse to tarnish my reputation in the future. But don't try to tarnish my maternal family and bully others by taking advantage of their power. That would be a big deal."

Bai Yaoyao has come to her door, but Bai Youyou will not give her a chance to turn things around.

She took the lantern from the servant beside her, stretched out her five white fingers, waved them in front of everyone, and then placed them in front of the lantern.

"When I got off the table just now, I took two pieces of fried fish. The oil stains on my hands were only wiped with a towel and have not been washed clean."

Bai Youyou looked at Bai Yaoyao with a sneer on her face. "Fifth sister said that the handkerchief was pulled from my hand in a hurry. I guess the handkerchief must have been stained with oil."

Bai Luochuan's eyes lit up and he immediately ordered someone to bring a basin of clean water.

Bai Mulin's breathing tightened. "The handkerchief in grandma's hand has been soaked in water. The oil stains on it may have been washed away. This does not prove anything."

Bai Youyou looked at him sideways as if he was mentally retarded, "Even soap can't easily remove the grease stains, so you think the ice water in this pool can remove the grease stains?"

There was still oil from eating small yellow croaker on Xiaoju's mouth. She wiped her mouth and her little chest unconsciously straightened up.

Aunt Qiao's eyes flashed, and she quickly pushed the dumbfounded Bai Yaoyao and said, "Fourth Miss, this is mostly a misunderstanding. Yaoyao didn't understand the situation clearly at the moment, so she spoke without thinking."

"Aunt Qiao just arrived and doesn't know the whole story."

Bai Youyou smiled coldly, "Just now, Fifth Sister took out a handkerchief as evidence, but she swore that it was me who pushed her, and it was me who caused Aunt Li to lose her child."

She looked at Bai Mulin who was pursing his lips, "And my good elder brother said that I killed his child, and rushed over to tie me up."

"Humph, you dared to wrongly accuse my daughter with a handkerchief, and now you think you can let it go with just a misunderstanding?"

Mrs. Lu's heart suddenly fell back into her stomach. She held her head high and looked down at Aunt Qiao and her daughter with an imposing manner. "You dare to slander and accuse me just by talking to me. Do you really think that you are the master of this world?"

You dare to show off your little trick in front of an expert? It's really embarrassing to ask for food on New Year's Eve - it's shameful!

Bai Yanlang almost choked when he saw Bai Yaoyao's evasive eyes.

This idiot can't keep quiet for a day and always keeps stirring up trouble!

"Okay, since it's just a misunderstanding, just talk it out. It's New Year's Day, so let's be quiet."

He wanted to let it go gently, but Lu refused to agree, "What misunderstanding? This is a naked frame-up! Don't try to smooth things over! At the beginning, she took a handkerchief, and you said my daughter was malicious without knowing the truth. Now that the evidence is solid, you just say it was a misunderstanding. You are so biased!"

"I just spoke without thinking because I was so angry."

Bai Yanlang looked embarrassed and glanced away guiltily, "Youyou, it's New Year's Day, for Dad's sake, this matter——"

"You have no face in front of me."

Bai Youyou was too lazy to pay attention to Bai Yanlang and looked directly at Old Mrs. Qiao, "Grandma, it's New Year's Day and Lord Xu's family is reuniting. If there's nothing else, I won't bother you. Look--"

Seeing the obvious threat, Old Qiao rubbed his forehead with a headache.

Qiao Jiaojiao has the leverage over her. If she doesn't break the law and protect that idiot Bai Yaoyao, she will probably fight to the death with him.

If you invite the Jingzhao Yin to your residence on New Year’s Eve, all kinds of rumors about the Yongning Marquis’ Mansion will spread throughout the capital the next day.

Bai Qingyu had the same headache as Old Qiao. He covered his lips and coughed twice, then took two steps forward. "Since the truth has been found out, we must follow the family rules and will not show any leniency."

Only then did Bai Yaoyao realize the seriousness of the matter. She huddled in Aunt Qiao's arms, her body shaking uncontrollably.

"Fourth sister, I should have slipped and fell into the pool by accident. I made a mistake. I was just angry and grief-stricken because my eldest brother's child was gone, so I wrongly accused you."

"Since this is just a misunderstanding, you should stop being so unreasonable."

Bai Yanlang glared at Bai Youyou irritably, "It's Chinese New Year, let's talk about it after the New Year is over!"

"Uncle, the country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. The truth of the matter has been found out, and it should be handled according to the law."

Bai Zhengnan couldn't stand Bai Yanlang's partiality, and frowned slightly, "It's a good time to get rid of the old and welcome the new, and we should also learn from this and correct our family traditions!"

They had had a quarrel before the New Year's Eve dinner because of his improper conduct and failure to abide by the rules, and now he was behaving like this again. He felt that his second uncle was really confused.

No wonder the family is in turmoil!

Bai Qingyu glanced at Bai Yanlang and agreed with his son, "Zhengnan is right. There is no order without rules. We should correct our family traditions."

"Fourth Miss, it's dark out here, and Fifth Miss may have wrongly accused you, but it's not a big deal."

Aunt Qiao was neither impatient nor impatient. After she finished speaking, she looked at Old Qiao with a smile on her lips, "Aunt, it's just a misunderstanding, isn't it?"

Bai Youyou sneered in her heart as she saw that she could still laugh at this time.

Did she really think that she could make Old Qiao do what she wanted just by holding the leverage over him?

Old Mrs. Qiao is the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion, but there are also Mrs. Li and Bai Qingyu in the Marquis' Mansion. How could they be allowed to do whatever they want?

As she expected, Li jumped out with a cold face, "Bai Yaoyao was at fault in this matter, and she should be punished! Aunt Li's miscarriage can be considered an accident, but she cannot deny this false accusation."

"Madam, the old lady is here. Filial piety comes first in everything. You should listen to the old lady's opinion, right?"

Aunt Qiao's confident look made old Mrs. Qiao's cheeks tense.

She glanced at Aunt Qiao with cold eyes and said calmly, "I am old, buried up to my neck in the earth, and I don't have many days left to live. I am not like you, who have many descendants and a long future ahead of them."

"I'm tired. It's better for you young people to do the New Year's Eve."

After saying that, she leaned on her crutches and prepared to turn around and leave.

"aunt!"

Aunt Qiao saw that she was about to leave, and a hint of cruelty appeared on her face, "Are you really not going to make the decision for your niece?"

Sensing the threat in her words, Old Mrs. Qiao paused and said without turning her head, "People in this world are always busy and anxious, but in the end, they are just like the burning of Mengzhu, the withered wormwood and the bursting of Xuanfang River, the sinking of jade and stone."

No one present could understand the ambiguous words of Old Mrs. Qiao, but Bai Youyou and Aunt Qiao did.

Old Mrs. Qiao now told Aunt Qiao directly and bluntly that she was about to die and was not afraid of a fight to the death.

Aunt Qiao's body trembled, but she still threatened unwillingly: "Aunt, this is just one time, and I will never ask you for anything again in the future!"
