"How can it be?!"

Bai Yanlang's meticulously combed hair and the black hat on his head were pulled off, and his official uniform was stripped off, leaving only a thin white undershirt.

He crossed his arms over his chest and looked at his colleagues who were standing outside the door watching the show. His old face turned red and he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

"Didn't Lord Bai boast that his daughter was favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How come he was stripped of his official hat by His Majesty today?"

"Tsk, you are the only ones who believe his bragging. The daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo has already divorced him, and the legitimate sons and daughters born to him have all returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. He only has one legitimate daughter, so do you really expect a little concubine's daughter to catch the eye of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Then he brags about it every day, and what he says is as if it were true."

"The matter of the severance letter a few days ago caused a lot of noise. Didn't you guys hear about it?"

"I also heard that..."

Everyone looked at Bai Yanlang with contempt, and whispered to each other.

"Let's go, Bai Yanlang. This is not a place where outsiders can stay."

The white-faced eunuch swung his whisk again, and two imperial guards pushed Bai Yanlang hard, almost causing him to fall flat on his face.

"Pfft!"

The people around him couldn't help but laugh out loud at his funny appearance.

Someone at the side pulled the man, and he quickly lowered his head when Bai Yanlang's gaze swept over him.

Bai Yanlang lost his official position, but he was still a member of Yongning Marquis Mansion. They were all from humble backgrounds and had no foundation, so they dared not easily add insult to injury.

These thirty years will be like this, and who can predict the future?

Bai Yanlang was pushed out of the palace. The groom and Li He, who were waiting for their master to go to the yamen outside the palace gate, saw him being driven out by the imperial guards with messy hair and untidy clothes. Both of them widened their eyes at the same time.

"master!"

Li He jumped off the carriage and ran towards him quickly.

"Go home!"

Bai Yanlang covered his face to avoid the surprised looks of people passing by the palace gate, and got on the carriage as quickly as possible under the cover of Li He.

There were spare clothes on the carriage, and he took out one and put it on randomly.

"Master, what happened?"

Li He took out a comb to help him tidy up his hair, looked at his pale and blue face, and asked carefully.

Bai Yanlang slapped his thigh heavily and gritted his teeth, "It must be someone from the Zhenguo Mansion who did it! It must be them!"

Li He glanced at him and pursed his lips.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has tolerated his misbehavior over the years, all for the sake of the Fourth Young Miss and the Second Young Master.

This person has divorced and returned home. If he hadn't treated the lady and the fourth young lady so humiliatingly, how could the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion care about him?

To put it bluntly, you have no idea of ​​your own weight. People don't care about you not because they are easy to talk to, but because you are a clown in their eyes, an ant that can be killed with just a little finger!

"We need to clarify this matter. Maybe it wasn't done by someone from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

"Is there even a need to ask? Who else could it be besides them?!"

Seeing that his facial muscles were bulging with tension, Li He still advised earnestly: "I think it is better to verify the facts before making a decision."

"Humph, I will definitely check it out!"

Bai Yanlang understood what was said to some extent, and his expression relaxed a little.

The carriage moved forward quickly, and when it arrived at the gate of Yongning Marquis' Mansion, it met Bai Yaoyao who was about to go out.

Bai Yanlang lifted the car curtain, saw her and quickly called out to her.

"Yaoyao!"

"father?"

Bai Yaoyao stood in front of the horse stool and turned to look at him, with a surprised look on her face, "Why are you back home at this time?"

Now is the time for the morning court session.

"Ugh!"

Bai Yanlang walked up to her, flicked his sleeves vigorously, and sighed heavily.

"What happened?"

Bai Yaoyao looked at his face, which was so dark that water could condense out of it, and frowned slightly.

"Dad has been dismissed!"

"Removed?!" Bai Yaoyao opened her eyes wide, with a look of disbelief, "What did you do wrong?"

"I don't know anything!"

Bai Yanlang was furious. "I was sitting in front of the desk at the imperial court today, and a eunuch came to pass on the emperor's order, saying that I was absent from my duties and had bad morals. He also had my official hat and uniform taken off in public and I was kicked out of the palace!"

The main thing was that he was stripped of his clothes and driven out of the palace in a miserable state. This was such a slap in his face!

"How could this be?"

Bai Yaoyao frowned.

This stupid father was only appointed as an insignificant monk registrar who was not even qualified to attend the morning court. Why did the emperor suddenly remember him?

The first thing that came to her mind was that someone from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had done something, but the key point was why the prince did not protect him.

"Dad, you go back first. I'm going to the East Palace. I'll ask the prince what's going on then."

Bai Yaoyao was helped into the carriage by Xia He and Bi Tao. Bai Yanlang looked at the direction the carriage left with a hint of anticipation in his heart.

The prince values ​​Yaoyao so much, maybe he would protect me for her sake.

The eldest wife soon received the news that Bai Yanlang had returned home.

Bai Qingyu hasn't taken those poison pills these days, and his complexion has improved a little.

He held his chest and took a breath before asking, "Do you know why he returned home at this time?"

The butler suppressed his laughter and said, "I heard from the concierge that he was dismissed from his post by the emperor. It seems that he was even driven out of the palace."

"Haha, this idiot finally got punished!"

Bai Qingyu grinned, "It's better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Send this good news to Songtao Garden quickly, and send someone else to spread the word!"

"The people from the Zhenguo Mansion have only just dealt with him now. They are really patient."

Li gloated and curled her lips, "You said that with Lu's status, she would have a good fate to marry into any family and become the mistress of a high-ranking family. But the Zhenguo Mansion chose such an idiot like the second son. I really don't know what they are trying to do."

Lu has both good looks and status. No matter who she marries, it would be better than marrying that piece of shit Bai Yanlang, so she had to choose him.

"A woman's perspective."

Bai Qingyu gathered his clothes and glanced at her with a raised eyebrow. "The Lu family is of high status, and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion doesn't dare to marry into the royal family. How can an ordinary family marry her and keep her as a worshipper? The second child was chosen because she is stupid and easy to manipulate. Otherwise, if she finds an ambitious husband's family, who knows how much trouble it will bring to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

Li sneered, "The second son is a lucky man, but he is also a man who will seek his own death."

While the couple was talking about Bai Yanlang, Bai Yaoyao had already entered the East Palace unhindered with the prince's token.

When the eunuchs and maids in the palace saw her, they stopped what they were doing and bowed to her.

The Crown Prince and Marquis Yong'an came back together after court. When they saw her, they looked at each other.

Yong'an Hou raised his eyebrows, "Are you here to question me?"
