"Why are you the only one back? Where's your sister?"

"My sister has something to do today."

"It's New Year's Day, what can a girl do to her?!" Bai Yanlang was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up, "Go, call that bastard over to me!"

Bai Luochuan frowned and sat there without moving. Bai Mulin beside him had an idea and said, "Luochuan, no matter what, they are all elders in the mansion. Youyou didn't even come to get married next year. This is too disrespectful to grandfather and father."

"This bastard has no manners at all!" Bai Yanlang was even more furious when Mu Lin said this, "Go, bring Bai Youyou back to me, I'm going to teach her a lesson!"

Li He outside the door looked up at the sky speechlessly and could only pretend he didn't hear anything.

Bai Luochuan stood up from his chair in anger, "Dad, you have already kicked my sister out of the family tree and expelled her from the house, so what right do you have to teach her a lesson now?"

Bai Yanlang argued, "What's wrong with being kicked out of the family? Broken bones are connected to tendons. How can blood ties be severed just like that?"

"Now let's talk about blood relationship," Bai Luochuan clenched his fists in anger, "You asked people to humiliate her in public, why didn't you think of her as your daughter?"

"Luochuan, Dad was just angry at that time, so it doesn't count. Besides, how can there be any grudge between father and daughter?"

Bai Mulin's persuasion was actually adding fuel to the fire.

As expected, Bai Yanlang was so angry that his beard stood up, and his voice suddenly rose, "Li He, go and tie that evil creature Bai Youyou back to me!"

"father!!!"

Bai Luochuan looked at him coldly, "When mother had not yet divorced you, you favored your concubine over your wife, and favored your concubine's children, causing your sister to suffer all kinds of injustice. Later, when mother divorced you, you broke off relations with her and even humiliated her in public. Have you ever shown any affection for your sister?"

He waved his sleeves heavily, "If you go looking for trouble with my sister today, don't blame me for not thinking about the father-son relationship!"

"Luo Chuan, how can you talk to Dad like this!"

Bai Mulin scolded him like a brother: "You should understand filial piety when you read the books of sages. You——"

Before Bai Mulin finished speaking, Bai Luochuan sneered, "Brother, you are very filial and always obey father. Have you ever thought about right and wrong?"

Bai Mulin choked.

In the past, when Bai Luochuan was pressured by filial piety, he would have to bow his head and admit his mistakes. He did not expect that Bai Luochuan would be so strong now.

At this time, Li He, who had been silent all this time, slowly spoke up: "Master, the fourth young lady has always been strong-willed. If she is really pushed into a corner, I'm afraid she will do something radical, which will damage the reputation of our mansion."

He was speechless. How could his master only care about food and not beating?

He was thrown out by the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion just two days ago. If the Fourth Miss really cared about the father-daughter relationship, how could she let the doorman treat him like this?

I really can't recognize it at all!

After hearing this, Bai Yanlang's anger subsided a little, but he still said stubbornly, "Humph, that evil creature, he doesn't even come to pay his respects during the New Year. He's really being unruly!"

Bai Luochuan slowed down his tone and said, "Dad, although my sister has not come to visit you, she has already asked me to prepare a generous gift for her, which is considered to be her sincere intention."

Bai Yanlang snorted coldly, but did not refute.

Li He breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that this stupid master would ask him to do something embarrassing again.

Afraid that Bai Yanlang would bring up Yun Ni Fang again, Bai Luochuan felt that he could not eat the meal any more. He bowed to Bai Yanlang and said, "I still have to go and pay my respects to the master. I will leave first."

"You bastard!"

Bai Luochuan listened to Bai Yanlang's roar without even turning his head.

These people will treat you like a piece of trash when they are no longer useful to you, but when they are useful to you, they will suck you up like leeches.

Why do they think that their sister can come when they are called and go away when they are dismissed?

Outside the sun was shining brightly.

Mrs. Lu was very surprised to see him coming back, "Your father doesn't even give you food?"

"No, it was my son who wanted to come back on his own."

Bai Luochuan was helping Lu to dry the cabbage and asked casually, "Where's my sister?"

"Your sister is in her own courtyard. She asked when you will be back. She has already prepared the annual gift and is waiting for you to come back and visit Lord Xu's residence together."

Mrs. Lu was picking at some dried cabbage. Yang Momo beside her said with a smile, "Master, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"Is there anything left from lunch? Just heat up the dishes."

Bai Luochuan was not picky. After all, eating leftovers at home was better than eating those dishes in the Marquis' Mansion.

Bai Youyou was drawing patterns in the house. When she heard Xiaoju say that Bai Luochuan had returned, she was not surprised at all.

Now, everyone in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion is thinking about his Yunnifang. If he goes there, it would be like a meat bun meeting a group of dogs. It would be strange if he could stay there.

"Let's go and pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Xu."

Bai Youyou collected the drawings on the table and moved the New Year gifts that had been prepared long ago to the carriage.

Bai Luochuan sat in the carriage, watching Bai Youyou and Xiaoju playing chess. After both of them made a wrong move, they were both cheating, talking to each other, and it was very lively.

Unlike the deserted mansion of the marquis, Xu Lingyun's mansion was not deserted. In front of the small mansion, many people dressed in silk and satin came to visit.

Every year, Xu Lingyun has to go through this welcoming and seeing off process, and he feels like his face is going to become stiff from smiling.

"Master Xu, please stay."

"Master Zhang, take care."

Seeing him rubbing his cheeks, the housekeeper couldn't help laughing, "If there was a female master in this house, you would be more relaxed."

Ordinary families have mistresses who can usually help with these matters. Now Xu Lingyun has to handle everything by himself, and he feels that it is more tiring than handling official duties.

"It depends on fate."

He is not a monk with pure six senses, but he is not just anyone either.

The butler saw from a distance that another carriage was coming towards them, and he rubbed his cheeks, "Another person is coming."

Xu Lingyun bared his teeth, and a standard official smile appeared on his face as the carriage approached.

"Uncle Xu, we are here to wish you a happy new year!"

Before the carriage stopped, Bai Youyou opened the curtain and smiled broadly at Xu Lingyun.

"Youyou, Luochuan, Xiaoju."

Finally, he no longer had to face those fawning colleagues. Xu Lingyun suddenly felt as if a burden had been taken away from him, and he felt relaxed all over.

"Uncle Xu, happy new year to you."

Bai Luochuan got off the carriage and respectfully bowed to Xu Lingyun as a student.

Xu Lingyun lifted him up and said, "Today is the first day of the new year, so I won't test your knowledge. Come back in three days, and I'll see if you've been slacking off in your studies these days."

"Uncle Xu, get someone to move the things."

Xu Lingyun is honest, and Bai Youyou only prepared some practical daily items.

"Why prepare so much?"

Xu Lingyun was a little dumbfounded. There were not so many things in his warehouse.

"One for my brother, one for me, and one for you that my grandmother prepared." Bai Youyou said with a giggle, "It's just a little bit, how can it be too much?"

"You."

How could Xu Lingyun not know that she said this on purpose because she was afraid that he would not accept it.

"Is this the precious treasure of Yun Ni Fang?" The housekeeper took the soap of Yun Ni Fang and said, "Why is it different from the one given by Ma Po next door?"
