Bai Fuling sacrificed a lot of tender tofu, finally got rid of the sea pumice stone, then had lunch in the old house in Shibu Lane, and then set off for Linglong Pavilion.
She specially asked Luo Shi, the steward of Linglong Pavilion who was familiar with Xia Xinxin, to ask Xia Xinxin to meet her in Linglong Pavilion.
When they arrived at Linglong Pavilion, Xia Xinxin's master and servant had already arrived and were sitting in the elegant room. The maid who accompanied Xia Xinxin was the maid who brought her jewelry to Linglong Pavilion for money.
Ordinarily, Miss Ge Laofu shouldn't have only one servant girl by her side when she travels, presumably she came here without telling her family, and the only servant girl she brought with her was the person she trusted the most.
Bai Fuling didn't beat around the bush, she went up to Xia Xinxin to greet each other, and said: "I was in the palace a few days ago, thank you Miss Xia for delivering the letter to my mother."
Xia Xinxin smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to thank me, I just want to save my family a way out."
Bai Fuling didn't expect her to be so straightforward. Xia Xinxin looked at her in astonishment, and continued: "Since my grandfather was seriously ill and was bedridden, my father has been running around every day, trying to save the Xia family, and to keep the Xia family's nephews and nephews in the court. As a powerful official, I, a woman, can't help much, I can only do this little thing, I hope Mr. Baige can see this kind of affection, hold her hands high, and let my family live."
"It's not that serious, my grandfather never thought about what he would do to your family?" Bai Fuling said with a dry smile.
"It's true that Mr. Baige never made us feel sorry for us...but if God ordered us..." Xia Xinxin's face was heavy.
Bai Fuling knew in her heart that Xia Xinxin had guessed that the one who was going to deal with their Xia family was actually the emperor in the palace. No wonder, as the proud daughter of heaven, she would put her whole body to plead for mercy.
"Since you know that God has orders, all my grandfather can do is try not to exterminate them as much as possible within a limited range." Even if Xia Xinxin barely saved her life, there is no reason for her family to risk their lives to protect them. The truth is, especially when her grandfather is also in danger now.
"Old Baige can do this, the Xia family will be grateful." Xia Xinxin is also very sensible.
"Your parents are very lucky." Bai Fuling said.
Her parents treated her like a pawn, they only wanted to use her to win over the powerful officials in the court and keep their glory and wealth. This has been repeatedly rejected.
Her parents' sales tactics were not only used on Bai Changshan and Deng Wenhua, but also on other powerful officials. Soon Xia Xinxin became a big joke in the circle of official women in the capital, and many people were secretly gloating. More than a month ago, she was the number one talented woman in the capital, her airs were higher than that of a princess. The "leftover women" nobody wants.
However, under such circumstances, Xia Xinxin still wanted to leave a way out for her parents and family, and even bowed her head to beg her, a natural enemy, which was really beyond the reach of ordinary women.
Xia Xinxin bowed her head and remained silent.
"But shouldn't you persuade your parents with what you think? If you let them go on like this, no one will really be able to save them."
Xia Xinxin smiled wryly and said: "They don't even want to listen to my brother, so why would they listen to my daughter who insults the family?"
After the poetry meeting incident, Xia Xinxin's reputation plummeted. Her parents and even her grandfather Xia Ge always blamed her for insulting her family, and sent her far away to live in another courtyard outside the capital, wishing she had never had a daughter like her.
On New Year's Eve, the family underwent a great change, Mrs. Xia and Xia Xinxin's aunt, the two housekeepers' husbands and grandmothers, all fell ill one after another. Xia Guoxun took the opportunity to take her back to the mansion to temporarily help manage the internal affairs. However, in just over a month, Xia Xinxin has tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships. Fortunately, with Xia Guoxun's care and enlightenment, she did not allow herself to sink, and her former arrogance and vigor were imperceptibly worn away.
Bai Fuling stared at her for a while, then suddenly asked, "Don't you hate me?" Although the downfall of the Xia family was manipulated by the emperor behind the scenes, the Bai family is currently the biggest beneficiary , and Xia Xinxin's discredited reputation has a direct relationship with her. Bai Fuling couldn't understand why she could face her so calmly.
If she saw her old enemy, even if she didn't find someone to beat her up for a while, she would never talk to her in a low voice.
"I used to hate you very much, and now I don't like you, but I am very envious and jealous of you." Xia Xinxin said without concealing it.
Instead of being angry, Bai Fuling said with a smile, "I also feel that I am quite worthy of the envy and envy of others."
Several women in the elegant room were speechless at the same time because of her thick skin.
Bai Fuling didn't care what their expressions were, picked up the tea and took a sip, while beckoning Bai Guo to go forward and hand an envelope to Xia Xinxin, who took it and opened it, his expression changed, and he said in a hoarse voice: "You What means?"
There were several banknotes in the envelope, and a rough look at the total amount was at least three to five thousand taels.
Bai Fuling said indifferently: "Money is very important when you are away from home. I think you will need these things as part of my thank you gift."
"Boss Luo said it?" Xia Xinxin's face became very ugly, she never thought that someone she trusted so much would betray her.
Bai Fuling didn't want her to blame a good person, so she explained in a rare way: "It has nothing to do with Guan Luo, but I saw your maid sending jewelry to Linglong Pavilion to exchange for cash, so I guessed something. I am the boss of Linglong Pavilion, so naturally You can see the guest's account. I haven't mentioned this to anyone else, so you can rest assured."
Xia Xinxin glared at her for a while, and finally said discouragedly: "What do you want?" Her family was very strict, and she didn't have many opportunities to go out, so she finally found a way to raise money privately, and she worked out all the details. Hit the enemy again.
Linglong Pavilion turned out to be the business of the Bai family? Why haven't you heard of it before
"I want to help you, but if you want to run away, I even prepared money for you." Bai Fuling smiled innocently.
"You would be so kind?"
"I've always been a good person with a kind heart."
"You, you..." Xia Xinxin thought her heart was dead, but unexpectedly, Bai Fuling was so angry that she came back to life after a few moments.
"I don't want you, me and mine. I gave you the money, and I won't take it back. If you still refuse out of temper, then I will look down on you." Bai Fuling stood up and left the field with a few victories.
Before leaving, he turned his head and said sarcastic words: "I think you still look more like a human being like this. You are only so young, so why are you pretending that there is no wave in the ancient well. You are not afraid of internal injuries after enduring so hard!"
Xia Xinxin was so angry that she couldn't speak a word.
Bai Fuling triumphantly said to Ginkgo and Yangmei: "It's so good to tease and amuse people!"
Bai Guo was speechless, and thought to himself: You can't fail to moles the leader of Haida, so you can vent your anger on Xia Xinxin...
Little did they know that Bai Fuling was really venting her anger on Xia Xinxin, but the reason was that she was severely molested by Haifushi.
Bai Fuling has always liked to base her happiness on the suffering of others, so her mood quickly changed from cloudy to sunny, and she was even more smiling when she arrived at Ge Lao Mansion, which was in stark contrast to the bitterness and sorrow when she went out.
However, the atmosphere in Ge Lao Mansion was solemn. Bai Changshan brought back a very bad news. The envoy of Tiantong Kingdom arrived yesterday. Today, when he was interviewing the saint, he suddenly proposed to meet the daughter who can make beasts bow their heads——Bai Fuling .
The envoy of Tiantong Kingdom is the Prince of Xiyuan, who is a compatriot with the emperor's mother. He brought his concubine and three sons with him. The intention of a lady from a famous family in the country to return to heaven and the same country.
With Bai Fuling's appearance, if she appeared in front of the barbarians of the same country these days, something would definitely happen. Bai Changshan was very troubled by this matter.
The emperor's attitude is optimistic, but after all, Bai Changshan has a lot of status in the court, so he is not unscrupulous in messing around with mandarin ducks, but he is a thousand people who can make Bai Fuling's disaster far away. Ten thousand willing.
So the emperor readily agreed to the request of Prince Xiyuan, saying that a banquet will be held in the palace on the next day, so that the princess of Xiyuan can meet the ladies and ladies of Qi State, and hope that the happy event will be a happy couple. As for Bai Fuling, who was appointed by the envoy of the Tiantong Kingdom to meet, of course he had to attend.
The matter has come to this point, everyone in the Bai family understands that the emperor will not let Bai Fuling go, the faces of the three parents are very heavy, all the tortoise anger that Bai Fuling has suffered these days finally broke out, and sneered twice: "Okay! I'll let them see and see, and I'm going to go and fix this kind of thing for me, I really think that people in our Bai family are easy to bully!"
Bai Changshan was also disheartened by the emperor's attitude: "Ling'er can do whatever she wants, don't worry about it!"
He wants to see what kind of situation the emperor wants to force him into! I thought that by eradicating the power of Mao and Xia, the government would gradually return to the right track, but I didn't expect that the emperor's first thought was not how to rectify the government, but to deal with him, an old courtier who had been loyal to him for decades, maybe the emperor It was because he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes, but it was enough to deal with him. Why did he point the finger at his granddaughter
Seeing that her grandfather had said that, Bai Fuling felt even more confident.
The Bai couple looked at each other and smiled wryly. Bai Changshan and Bai Fuling had been together for a very short time. In his eyes, Bai Fuling was a smart, assertive and spoiled little girl. He didn't know that Bai Fuling was going crazy. How destructive can be.
But that's okay, did their family pay too little for the royal family? What did they pay for
Anyway, what should be done in the capital has already been done, and they couldn't bear to let Bai Fuling swallow her anger any longer. Thinking about it this way, the members of the Bai family no longer frowned, but looked forward to the palace banquet tomorrow.
