Chapter 107 Reinforcement
Qing Shuang, who was originally summoned, suddenly appeared and stood behind Bai Chuxiao silently.
Soon, Xie, wearing a gorgeous dark purple dress, appeared at the entrance of Liuliyuan with her two maids, Caiyue and Caixia. They looked at Bai Haoyun, who was lying on the bench in a state of humiliation.
Xie was horrified, "Bai Chuxiao, what did you do to Haoyun?"
Bai Chuxiao looked at her with a half-smile. What did she do? Can't you see? She had finished beating him. Seeing Xie coming, Qingzhu also put away the whip and quietly retreated.
Xie rushed to the bench and asked, "Haoyun...Haoyun, how are you?" But she got no response because Bai Haoyun had been beaten to the point of being unconscious.
"Come over here and untie the rope for the young master," Xie shouted angrily.
Caiyue, Caixia, Aying and others hurried forward. Bai Chuxiao took the tea handed over by the maid and took a sip. She looked at the group of people who were in a hurry and did not stop them.
At this moment, the old lady hurried over holding Yingchun's hand. Seeing the chaotic scene, she said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Xie cried and complained, "Mother, you have to make a decision for Haoyun. Haoyun was beaten like this just after he came back. The autumn examination is only three days away. What should we do?"
Lan Xiang smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, the young master's hand is not injured. He will definitely be able to hold a pen and pass the imperial examination in three days!"
Bai Chuxiao and the girl behind her could of course hear the sarcasm in Lanxiang's words, and couldn't help but laugh. If Bai Haoyun could win the first prize, she, Bai Chuxiao, would write her name backwards from now on.
The old lady squatted down and looked at Bai Haoyun who had already fainted. She felt very distressed. This was her only grandson. She had never scolded him since he was a child, let alone beaten him. But now he has become like this...
When she heard Bai Chuxiao and the others' laughter again, the old lady was immediately furious. She stood up with her cane, not caring about Bai Chuxiao's status as Princess Bai and the future Princess of Yan, and said sternly, "Bai Chuxiao, this is your brother. You beat him like this. Do you want the Bai family to be extinct?"
Bai Chuxiao smiled and said, "Grandma, what are you talking about? Didn't Lanxiang just say that she wasn't hurt? Bai Haoyun has no respect for her elders. Not only does she not call me big sister, she even calls me by my name. She should be disciplined. You have been doting on her too much, and she has let him go without knowing his own limitations."
Bai Chuxiao didn't care about the grandmother's anger at all. Between her granddaughter and grandson, she knew without thinking that the old lady would stand on the grandson's side.
The old lady's hands were shaking with anger. "He was beaten unconscious. Is this what you said about not being hurt?"
Bai Chuxiao sighed, "Brother Haoyun is too weak...Lan Xin!"
Lan Xin nodded with a smile, and flashed to Bai Haoyun's side. She pinched his chin and stuffed a pill into his mouth, then pinched a certain acupuncture point, and Bai Haoyun immediately opened his eyes and woke up.
Mrs. Xie was shocked and asked, "What did you give the young master to eat?"
Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Don't worry Aunt Xie, Lan Xin is a skilled doctor, this pill will definitely cure the disease."
After Bai Haoyun woke up and saw his grandmother and mother by his side, he immediately felt reassured. His eyes were filled with anger, and he said sternly, "Bai Chuxiao, how dare you hit me!"
Bai Chuxiao nodded with a smile, "Not bad, full of energy, it seems like he can still take dozens more lashes, Qing..."
Before he could even say the word "bamboo", the old lady interrupted him, "That's enough. Do you want to hit your brother again?"
Mrs. Xie also said angrily, "Mother, the eldest lady doesn't take the Bai family seriously at all. After all, my wife is the head of the Bai family. She actually asked the maid to tell me to kneel down and greet her junior every day, and then beat Haoyun here. It's obvious that she did it on purpose, wanting to put my wife and Haoyun to death. That's fine, mother, you have been here for such a long time, and the eldest lady has never stood up to greet you. She doesn't take you, her grandmother, seriously at all!"
Hearing this, the old lady was filled with anger and slammed her cane hard, "Bai Chuxiao, do I, your grandmother, have to kneel down and greet you every day?"
Bai Chuxiao raised her eyebrows, "I never said that, but is there a problem with you coming to pay respects to me every day, Aunt Xie?"
"Mother, look at the eldest daughter...she is clearly bullying others by taking advantage of her power."
The old lady's eyes were slightly cold. "Is the status of a princess so great? I am also a lady of the first rank. It should be no problem to punish you as a princess of the first rank."
Xie's face lit up, and she quickly agreed, "Mother is right, you are a first-rank imperial concubine, how can you be the eldest daughter in this mansion and show off your power?"
Bai Chuxiao blinked, "Oh? How does grandma want to punish me?"
What is a royal decree? For important officials of the court, His Majesty would usually confer a title on their mothers or wives. This was just a better status, but it had no real power. How could a royal decree wife dare to punish a princess? It was unheard of.
Bai Haoyun became more energetic after hearing this, and he felt that the pain in his body was not so severe anymore. He shouted, "Grandma, you must beat her hard with dozens of whips!"
The old lady hesitated. She was indeed very angry that Bai Chuxiao had beaten her grandson, but she was not only a princess but also the future consort of Prince Yan. Prince Yan had always protected this girl. The second son of the Wei family even had his legs broken by Prince Yan... If they knew that they had punished Bai Chuxiao, they would definitely come to their door.
"Mother, why are you still hesitating? Look at how arrogant she is..." Seeing her hesitation, Xie couldn't help but secretly curse the old lady in her heart for being too cowardly, but how could her son be beaten in vain?
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, another strong male voice came
"Mother, what's going on?" Bai Linnan rushed over as soon as he got the news.
Before the old lady could say anything, Bai Haoyun, who was supported by Aying, immediately shouted, "Father, you are finally back! My elder sister wanted to beat me to death!"
Bai Linan walked forward and looked at Bai Haoyun's shocking wound, then looked at Bai Chuxiao who was sitting calmly on the swing, and said angrily, "You rebellious girl, you have disturbed the peace of our family as soon as you came back. Apologize to your brother!"
Bai Chuxiao smiled slightly, "Father is really good at telling jokes. As the eldest daughter and the county magistrate, it is only natural for me to teach a disobedient half-brother. Do you think he can bear it if I apologize to him? If this gets out and those imperial censors find out, it will be a minor matter to impeach my father, but it will affect my brother Haoyun's official career. I am only thinking about the Bai family..."
Bai Linan's face froze. He had already been reported for the Bai family's poor parenting of their daughter. It was not easy to calm down. If the news of his son's affairs spread again...
The old lady said in a deep voice, "Linan, no matter what, the eldest girl should be punished today! You are the daughter of the Bai family, and it is only natural for me and your father, as elders, to discipline you. Who dares to say anything wrong!"
