Bai Xianyu’s lips curled up slightly. “Send someone to keep an eye on Grandmother. Other than the things in the Longevity Hall, she can’t take away anything else.”

“Once the packing is done, get someone to send them away.”

Green Pearl nodded.

“Why is there a need for you to send someone to watch over me? What do you take me for? A thief?” Even now, Old Madam was still stubborn. “You’re looking down on me.”

Bai Xianyu glanced at Green Pearl. “Slap her.”

Old Madam was shocked. “How dare you!”

Green Pearl immediately found two maidservants.

Old Madam was old and was easily held down. Her bun fell a little and she hissed hoarsely, “Bai Xianyu!”

Bai Yuantai gritted his teeth and rushed forward, but he was stopped by a guard at the side.

“Stupid girl! How dare you touch your grandmother!”

Bai Xianyu laughed lightly. “Bai Yuantai, since you and Jiang Xiu’e are so close, why don’t you take the slap for her? But you’re a man, so you have to be punished more. How about… 40 strokes?”

Bai Yuantai’s arm was pressed down. When he thought about how Bai Xianyu had really gotten someone to beat them up last time, he knew that she was not joking. Hence, his mouth squirmed a few times before he shut up resentfully.

Old Madam was in a sorry state.

This was the first time in so many years that she had been treated like this. What made her feel even more disappointed was that her youngest son, who she loved the most, was actually unwilling to help her block it.

For a moment, she actually did not know what to say.

“It’ll just be a token. Slap her ten times.” Bai Xianyu was in an extremely good mood after getting rid of one of her worries. “Get someone to pack things up after you’re done.”

“Yes, Miss.”

She did not wait to watch from the side. After giving her instructions, she left with Green Pearl.

Green Pearl was curious. “Miss, why don’t you just chase them out? I can’t figure out how Old Madam can be so biased.”

“Directly kicking them out could cause others to laugh at us and it might cause us trouble,” Bai Xianyu said. “If I get someone to pack their luggage and send them away, if anyone asks about this in the future, coupled with the document she had personally signed, I’ll be able to say that she left with that family voluntarily, and it won’t give outsiders a chance to gossip about us.”

“What if Old Madam and the others go around saying that you kicked them out?”

Bai Xianyu smiled. “With a conceited and arrogant person like Bai Yuantai, he won’t publicize such an embarrassing matter of being kicked out. When they react in the future and want to use the fact that 1 kicked them out to make an issue of it, then it will be too late.”

Green Pearl nodded. “I see.”

The grace for bringing up my father had been offset by the blessings they had enjoyed in the capital for more than ten years and the things they had taken away.

From now on, they would not contact each other again.

However, Bai Xianyu stopped in her tracks.

She suddenly remembered that when her mother followed her father to the border, she had left a soft jade for her to wear since she was young. Later, it was taken away by Old Madam and till now she had never given it to her.

“I’ll let them guard it first. I’ll personally go and get one thing.”

“Yes.”

The day of the palace examination was getting closer and closer.

As soon as Eldest Princess Jing An heard that Xie Xingyun had returned to the residence, she brought people to the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor.

However, as soon as she entered, she saw his drunk eldest son.

Xiao Zheng stood at the side and cursed his luck. “Good day, Your Highness.”

“What’s going on?” Eldest Princess Jing An looked at the man sitting in the main seat and said in shock, “Your master can’t hold his liquor well. Don’t you know how to dissuade him?”

Xiao Zheng lowered his head and complained in his heart. He had also wanted to dissuade him, but was unable to.

The room was full of the smell of alcohol. Eldest Princess Jing An looked at the stubble on his handsome face and her heart ached. “My son, what’s wrong with you? What’s wrong?”

Xie Xingyun opened and closed his eyes. He said tiredly, “Nothing.”

Eldest Princess Jing An was at a loss. “Then why are you drinking? Why are you drinking so much?”

Xie Xingyun sat up straight and said, “Not much.”

“You consider this not much? You’re almost turning into a wine shop!”

Eldest Princess Jing An had never seen her son look so down. He had always been a stable person. It was definitely not a coincidence that he was like this today!

Something was already wrong a few days ago. He had suddenly said that he wanted to go to Buddha Temple to pay respects to Buddha.

At that time, she feared that he would shave his head to become a monk if he were to really comprehend something, and become disillusioned with the mortal world.

However, she thought that Yun’er had everything he wanted, he would not take things too hard, right?

But now that he had come back in this state, Eldest Princess Jing An became anxious and worried. “Yun’er…”

Xie Xingyun’s eyes were half-closed. In just a few days, he had become much more haggard. There were dark circles under his eyes and his high ponytail was a little messy. His stern eyes were no longer as aggressive as usual, and he looked like a wolf king in a desperate situation.

He smiled and sighed.

Eldest Princess Jing An asked a few times but to no avail. After a long silence, she tilted her head and called Xiao Zheng out.

“Follow me.”

Xiao Zheng had tried to minimize his presence, but Eldest Princess Jing An still called him out.

When they arrived at the empty courtyard, Eldest Princess Jing An went straight to the point. “I’m asking you, what’s wrong with Yun’er?”

Xiao Zheng did not speak.

“What? 1 can’t make you?” Eldest Princess Jing An was furious. “Don’t think that just because you have some status with Yun’er, you can look down on me!”

Xiao Zheng knelt down and said respectfully, “I wouldn’t dare.”

“Then why aren’t you saying anything?” Eldest Princess Jing An was about to die from anxiety. “If Yun’er becomes a monk, can you bear the responsibility?!”

Xiao Zheng exclaimed in confusion, “A monk? What monk?”

Eldest Princess Jing An took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down.

A long time passed.

“Let me ask you one thing,” she said. “Does this have anything to do with Bai Xianyu?”

Xiao Zheng’s heart skipped a beat. “It has nothing to do with Miss Bai.”

Eldest Princess Jing An seemed to be trying to figure out the truth in his words.

In the past few days, the thing that Yun’er was most unhappy about was Bai Xianyu.

What was so good about her that Yun’er would drown his sorrows in alcohol!

“Go back and take care of Yun’er.”

Eldest Princess Jing An ordered.

Xiao Zheng stood up and cupped his fists. “Yes.”

Eldest Princess Jing An’s personal servant, Guo Ying, grew up with her and they had been mistress and servant for decades.

After he left, she whispered into Eldest Princess Jing An’s ear, “Your Highness, I think that it might be because of Miss Bai. Young Master has not retired yet, and the past ten years have been smooth sailing. It is rare to meet someone like Miss Bai. I am afraid she has become a knot in his heart.”

Eldest Princess Jing An was slightly shocked and murmured, “A knot in his heart?”

“That’s right. I’ve served you for so many years and watched Young Master grow up. I’ve never seen him so distracted. I’m afraid he has been hurt by Miss Bai.”

Eldest Princess Jing An clenched her fists. “Then what do you think we should do?”

“I thought that you might as well invite Miss Bai to the residence and talk to her properly..”
