Bao and the eldest son's mother, Tan, were once close friends, so Bao was very fond of the eldest son.
Because she loves Bai Chen so much, she liked him more when she saw his pretty appearance.
In the past, Tan was very popular among the girls in the capital and made many friends. Qin was not her only good friend.
But Qin has always been aloof and the only friend she recognizes is Tan.
That's why she reacted so strongly to what happened later.
She couldn't accept that her only friend had 'betrayed' her.
From Tan's perspective, Yue Zhilian was an object that all the women in the capital could strive for, so why did Qin react so strongly
Moreover, she tried to win over Qin only because she knew that she had been rejected. This doesn't count as betrayal.
Tan felt that the only thing she did to let Qin down was that she did not tell her in advance that her family would also go to the Yue family to propose marriage.
At that time, Bao was so obsessed with Yue Zhi that she lost her appetite. She even begged her parents to go to Yue's house to propose marriage. Her parents couldn't persuade her, so they had to go with a thick face.
The Bao family failed, and the Tan family joined in the fun.
But, they all ended in failure.
Although this incident dealt a heavy blow to the two women, their friendship was not affected at all.
Later, Tan played a key role in the marriage between Bao and Prince Tan, now the Duke.
After the two became sister-in-law, Bao naturally had a better understanding of the grievances between her sister-in-law and Qin.
Bao believed that Tan did nothing wrong in this matter.
I'm afraid that many families in the capital have shamelessly gone to the Yue family to discuss marriage.
Where does all the hatred come from
Bao, who had lived in a happy family since childhood, certainly could not understand Qin's indignation.
I feel that Qin is particularly domineering and selfish.
So, over the years, everyone has been saying how perfect Qin is, how virtuous she is, but only Bao dislikes her and would confront her every time she sees her.
Qin, who had done something wrong in the past, couldn't help but feel her heart tremble whenever she saw Bao, so she would avoid her if possible.
Although Bao is a harsh-tongued person, he is definitely an upright person, very straightforward, a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
In the Tan family, she received recognition from the elders of the Tan family and respect from the brothers and sisters-in-law of the Tan family.
Her husband also respected and loved her very much. The Duke, who was usually not good at speaking, and the sharp-tongued Bao complemented each other perfectly.
Over the years, she has managed the Duke of Nanguo's Mansion in an orderly manner, and her life is prosperous.
Over the past twenty years, she gave birth to five children, three sons and two daughters, each of whom was smart and beautiful.
Lord Tan has three concubines, but they are just decorations. They were once maids who had been given a status.
To be precise, Duke Tan and Marquis Qi are both models of good men in the ancient context.
These days, the eldest son would tell Bai Chen about his uncles from time to time.
So, she also learned some things about the Tan family from the eldest son.
The only regret the couple felt was that their younger sister passed away too early, leaving behind a sickly child.
And now, when they found out that the only child left by their sister was poisoned to death, they certainly couldn't accept it and of course they had to seek justice for their sister's child.
Such a result was, of course, within Bai Chen's plan.
The eldest son has such a powerful in-laws, so of course he has to take advantage of them.
Then, Bao changed the subject and talked about the main business, "Manager Lin's body has not recovered yet, but he called his apprentice over.
From now on, they will help you manage the farm and the shop."
"Manager Lin, what disease does he have?" Bai Chen asked with concern.
"What kind of disease could it be? He was poisoned." Bao looked at Marquis Qi's embarrassed face again.
"Again, I was poisoned again!" Bai Chen covered his mouth in surprise and looked at Lord Qi again.
When Bai Chen's gaze met Lord Qi's, he felt even more embarrassed.
I even felt a little ashamed, feeling particularly helpless and embarrassed.
He originally thought that the backyard of the marquis' mansion was the most peaceful, but one poisoning case after another was mentioned. Even in front of a country girl, he felt a little ashamed to hold his head up.
Bai Chen had a plan in mind. Qin wanted to quickly drive away the people from the Tan family and seize the late lady's dowry. Poisoning was the quickest way to do it.
I think Uncle Lin must have been poisoned by a chronic poison, which is why he was able to hold on for so long.
"Has Uncle Lin's poison been cured?" Bai Chen asked again.
"It's cured, but the vitality is seriously damaged. It will take a year or so to recuperate. But don't worry, you won't die."
At the same time, Bao patted Bai Chen's hand, stood up, and whispered to her: "We should leave too. There are a few maids outside the door, left for you."
"Thank you, aunt!" Bai Chen was deeply moved. He had a great influence on this aunt.
The eldest master is absolutely right, she is such a kind-hearted person.
The Tan family sent servants over, which was a very obvious way for them to support themselves!
Bai Chen felt much more at ease using the servants sent by the eldest son's maternal family, especially when raising children, they must be looked after by the people he trusts the most.
Before leaving, Bao secretly told her that these six women were all born in the Tan family and could be used with confidence.
Back at Chenxu Courtyard, the eldest son was again wandering around the bedroom in a panic, "Madam, Madam, how is it, how is it? How are uncle and the others going to deal with that vicious woman?"
Bai Chen pulled him down from the air again and said coldly, "Don't worry, she won't have a good life in the future.
She has been transformed from a lady to a concubine.
You can just wait and see her suffer a fate worse than death."
"Madam, do you mean that my great revenge will soon be achieved?" The eldest son did not feel the joy of revenge, "But why do I feel a sense of loss
I feel a little reluctant to leave.”
The eldest son sat down at the end of the bed again and sighed.
Bai Chen: "... Don't you want revenge now?"
"No, I just can't bear to leave you, and I can't bear to see you face those wolves and tigers alone.
If I leave, it will be so difficult for you to face your second and third brothers alone!
When my second brother inherits the title in the future, he will definitely bully you and your child." The eldest son looked at Bai Chen's face with deep affection, "So, I plan to stay and accompany you forever."
Bai Chen: "... You can't help me even if you stay. Humans and ghosts are on different paths. Have you forgotten what I said?"
"Oh! I see!"
The eldest son curled up on the bed gloomily, looking at the bedroom where he had lived for twenty years, looking particularly confused.
Leaving here and going to the underworld, a place that he is completely unfamiliar with, really requires a lot of courage for a young master who has never traveled far since childhood!
I heard that there are a lot of extremely vicious ghosts in the underworld. Some ghost friends also told me that some ghosts in the underworld like to capture weaker ghosts to eat.
It’s scary just thinking about it!
Looking at the poor young master, Bai Chen still didn't understand his troubles and just thought he was a sentimental guy.
Inherited from his father.
In the evening, Bai Chen put on dark men's clothes again and flew to a big tree in the main courtyard, wanting to listen to the wonderful dialogue between Qin and Lord Qi.
Qin Shi was changed from a wife to a concubine. Did she accept this helplessly? Or did she seek death
Bai Chen found a good position and could see the figures of Qin and Marquis Qi through a small window.
Originally, it was impossible to see because the distance was too far, but it seemed that I had bought a telescope prop before, and this thing finally came in handy.
Qin stood in the middle of the room, her whole body shaking violently, "My Lord! How could you do this to me? You actually agreed to them."
Lord Qi seemed helpless, hugged her and whispered to comfort her: "It's only temporary, believe me, I won't let you be a concubine forever."
