Bai Family Hall
Bai Chongyuan sits in the main seat, Bai Jinhang and Zhang (Bai Jinhang's wife Zhang Shuyi) sit on the left, Yao (Bai Yujie's wife Yao Xinya) sits next to Zhang, and Lan Lan sits on the right Shi (third aunt) and Lin (fourth aunt), and next to Lin is Bai Linglong, the fourth daughter of the Bai family. The entire hall was extremely quiet. After all, the person with the highest status in the family did not make a sound. Naturally, others did not dare to make a sound and could only continue to hide their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Except for Bai Yujie who is staying in the military camp and Bai Lin who is in bed recovering from injuries, the only remaining members here are Bai Xi, the second young lady of the Bai family. In fact, there is only one reason why these people are gathered here, and that is to wait for that person. The absent Bai Xi, and this absent protagonist appears at the door of the hall just when some people can no longer hide their emotions in their hearts.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on her except Bai Chongyuan.
Bai Xi didn't change his expression at all, and walked in with an indifferent expression. He glanced at the few "passers-by" who showed their proud expressions, and finally his eyes fell on Bai Chongyuan who was sitting in the main seat.
I think she had just returned to Xiyuan and before she had time to sit down and take a sip of water, she was "invited" by this old man's people. However, the old man understood her temperament quite well, and actually knew how to ask Bai Shi to "invite" her to Xiyuan. "Her, if she sends someone else, she might not come at all.
"I'm willing to come back." After Bai Chongyuan said calmly, he suddenly picked up the teacup on the table and threw it. Everyone had different expressions. Bai Xi smiled slightly and did not dodge the teacup thrown by Bai Chongyuan, standing still. Do not move.
With a "bang" sound, the tea cup fell accurately at Bai Xi's feet and cracked. The tea inside spilled all over the floor, and also splashed wet Bai Xi's shoe uppers and skirt.
"Xi'er..." As soon as Bai Jinhang stood up straight, he received a glare from Bai Chongyuan. Finally, he swallowed his concerned words and sat back on the chair.
"Don't worry, dad, my daughter is still alive." Bai Xi chuckled softly, without looking at the tea-stained shoe uppers and skirts. He directly chose a chair to sit down, and ordered his servants to serve her tea. Say something again and wait for the old man's next words.
"Who allowed you to sit down? I'll stand here for you, old man." Bai Chongyuan said while blowing his beard and staring.
Bai Xi didn't refute. After taking a sip of tea, he stood up and moved to where Bai Chongyuan pointed. There was always a light smile on his face.
Bai Chongyuan said in a bad temper, "You are very impressive. I have a whole family waiting for you here."
"Thanks for the compliment!" Bai Xi responded with a slight smile.
Bai Jinhang chuckled, while Zhang and others were stunned.
"Where are your rules?"
"forget."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another sound of a cup being thrown.
"Xiao Qiuqiu, go and get me a pair of new shoes. The old man doesn't like these shoes on my feet." Bai Xi's words didn't sound like a joke at all. Mu Qiu outside the door didn't know what was going on inside, so she hurriedly responded. After saying this, he immediately went back to Xiyuan to get the lady's shoes.
Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment, and some were confused about the current situation.
"Stinky girl, let me ask you, did you let your Xiyuan servants beat your third sister?"
"No." Bai Xi answered directly.
Bai Chongyuan changed his old naughty style and looked serious, "Really not?"
"No."
"Nonsense, you were the one who ordered people to beat Lin'er. Even the maids and nuns next to Lin'er were injured by your people." Lan said with an angry look, "My poor Lin'er, The injury on his face has not healed yet, and he can only lie in bed."
"None of my business." Bai Xi said calmly, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
"You..." Lan was about to retaliate, but Bai Chongyuan glared back and sat back on the chair with a look of reluctance.
"Take care of your woman, don't act like a shrew here." Bai Chongyuan glanced at Bai Jinhang, who responded repeatedly, and then saw the former turning his eyes to Bai Xi, "Your Xiyuan's Man has confessed everything.”
"So?" Xiao Qiuqiu had already told her about this on the way here, and she also guessed one of the old man's purposes, but it was by no means the main purpose. After all, it was just a trivial matter. There is no need to gather all the Bai family members in the hall.
"Let me hear what you have to say."
Lan bit her lip and didn't dare to say anything anymore. She knew that the old man had always protected Bai Xi, but the fact of this matter was already there, and she didn't believe that the old man would continue to protect Bai Xi.
"Treat others in their own way." Bai Xi spat out lightly. When she caught sight of Lan's dark complexion from the corner of her eyes, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
"Xi'er, why did you say this..." Bai Jinhang said a little confused. He had just learned that Xi'er had someone beat Lin'er, but he didn't quite believe that Xi'er could do this. .
"I'm a little tired from standing." She was not a servant, let alone a prisoner, so why was she the only one standing in the entire hall.
Bai Jinhang looked at his father, and then said, "Go sit down."
Bai Xi was not pretentious, but just as he was about to move, he heard Bai Chongyuan suddenly say loudly from the station, "Someone, bring her a chair."
Bai Xi raised her eyes to look at the grandfather in front of her, a silent smile flashed in her eyes. She finally understood why the old man and Baililan could get along so well. They were both the same kind of people.
"You can say it."
"I'm thirsty."
Soon, someone served a new cup of tea. After Bai Xi took a sip of tea, he chuckled and said, "Old man, the plum blossom wine you brew is still delicious." Since she knew that it was not because of being drunk, she There is no need to give up drinking anymore, and those plum blossom wine, osmanthus wine and so on have beauty-beautifying effects.
"Change the subject." Bai Chongyuan snorted coldly, but his serious expression had melted a little, and there was a trace of pride in his eyes.
"Old man, I'm hungry." Bai Xi smiled slightly, with a hint of coquettishness in his words.
Bai Chongyuan did not speak immediately, his eyes were locked on Bai Xi. It was a long time before he said, "Bai Shi, prepare some snacks for her." There was a bit of softness in his tone, not as tough as before.
Shiraishi nodded and started to prepare.
Everyone had different expressions when they saw this. The most obvious one was Lan's, who had an extremely dissatisfied face. If eyes could kill, Bai Xi would have died countless times.
Bai Xi didn't say anything, but glanced at everyone in the hall, and finally fixed her eyes on Yao Xinya. This was the second time she had seen this person. To be honest, this person was also a beauty, but what was wrong with her eyebrows? With a touch of sadness, it couldn't be the case. She should be newly married now, which is the sweet period. How could it be... Wait, she remembered, Feng Ming once said that her brother seemed... Is this true?
