Chapter 824 Bai Yanyu Won't Marry the Fifth Prince
Bai Heran is not easy to persuade Li Yueru, and she cannot let her go on two different paths like herself. After all, the Li family is kind to Li Yueru, while the Bai family is unrighteous to her Bai Heran.
She then patted Li Yueru's back of the hand, "The world is unpredictable. We usually take one step at a time. Those who take this step and even plan to the next step are either confused or tempted. Do you want to ask them if the next step must be as you expected? Do you bet with your life? They must not dare. So don't think too much. Since things have become like this, sadness and sighing are useless. Only by facing difficulties and solving them is the ultimate method."
Li Yueru was a little worried, "The people from the tea house went to the Bachelor's Mansion. If my family really couldn't get the money, what should they do if they reported to the official? If the Bachelor's Mansion is reported to the official, my father..."
"Your father's face will look ugly, right?" Bai Heran smiled. "Will he look good if he doesn't report to the official? The people are not fools, and they don't know what the Li family is doing if he doesn't report to the official? You heard it just now, and people in half the street are talking about it. The Li family's affairs are no longer a secret. Why do he still want that fig leaf to do?"
Li Yueru took a deep breath, "You are right, you will face it sooner or later. Since the lid of the pot has been lifted by me today, there is no reason to cover it again. The Li family has made contributions and deeds over the years, but now they have lost their power, and their mistakes have been magnified again and again. These are all the previous fate, they are formed by the previous one, and no one can lose it. Let's see how my father resolves it. I am the daughter of the Li family anyway. He is good, I am good, he is not good, and I am not good, and I am not good either. There is nothing."
She comforted herself like this, and then smiled at Bai Heran, "Thank you so much today. If I hadn't met you, I would have been blocked in front of the tea house, and I would have lost all my face."
Bai Heran shook his head, "A small thing is not worth mentioning. I happened to meet it by chance. If we don't walk this street today, we won't meet it. This is fate. For the sake of this fate, I will give you a journey. After all, I will be safe at home. The rest is your family's business. It depends on how your father chooses. Whether to continue the stalemate or to exchange for peace and quietness, it is his choice."
Li Yueru nodded and stopped talking, as if she was thinking about something.
Bai Heran didn't bother her, so she just pinched a piece of snack and put it in her hand, taking a bite and then taking another bite.
Finally, the carriage left the East Street and the speed became faster.
Li Yueru looked out the window and said that she might have seen the carriage fast, so she would not have been able to arrive at the Li Mansion in a long time. She was a little anxious. But this anxiety didn't seem to be because of the tea house. It seemed that she wanted to say something, but it was hard to say or dared not say it.
Bai Heran didn't urge him, but she didn't know what the other party was going to say. So she thought about all kinds of guesses about what Li Yueru was going to say. As a result, after guessing, she guessed the fifth prince.
Li Yueru spoke in this moment, and she asked Bai Heran: "The third lady in the Duke's Mansion, have you been engaged in a marriage?"
Bai Heran said in his heart, yes, guessed, and then shook his head: "No, she is still young!"
Li Yueru whispered, "It's not too young anymore. The fourth lady in the house is the same age as her. Didn't she also get married to Your Highness Ninth?"
"Ms. Li is quite clear about our family." Bai Heran smiled, "This is better than me. I really don't know much about your Li family. I only heard that you are the second daughter of the legitimate daughter, but I don't know who the eldest daughter is and what she is."
Li Yueru quickly explained: "I didn't mean to inquire about it, I heard from people at the last Baihua Club. And my sister, who is a few years older than me, got married in the early years and is not living in Beijing now."
Bai Heran smiled, "Don't be nervous, I just said it casually. When it was Miss Li, why did you suddenly ask about my mistress?"
The handkerchief in Li Yueru's hand was twisted into a strip, and her fingers were twisted red. Bai Heran's problem made it difficult for her to speak of, but she felt that she had missed this opportunity and it would be difficult to find the next time. So she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet for the last time, and said, "I heard that the third lady is the fifth prince. The fifth prince is my cousin, I...I..."
"You have the fifth prince in your heart, right?" Bai Heran understood. This is here to ask about his rival. "But since he is your cousin, you should have more brother-sister relationships. If you like your cousin, you won't feel awkward?"
This is a question Bai Heran has always wanted to ask. There is no way. She came from later generations. She knew very well the disadvantages of her cousin's marriage. After so many years of ideological education, it was difficult for her to accept marriage with her relatives. So she always wanted to ask these young ladies in ancient times how they could do their cousin?
Li Yueru couldn't understand this question, so she asked Bai Heran: "Why are you awkward? Can't my cousin be considered a real brother and sister? Our surnames are all different, so I can... like him." At this point, my face turned red again.
Bai Heran disagreed, "My cousin is your aunt's child. Your aunt and your father are the same mother. Your cousin wants to call your grandmother grandmother grandmother grandmother. This is actually a very close relationship, and it is a blood relationship."
Li Yueru was a little helpless and a little aggrieved. She naturally didn't understand what Bai Heran's ethical relationships meant, because in her concept, it was normal for her cousin to marry her. And people often said that this was called "to be more kinship" and it was a good thing. What's more, her cousin or prince. For the Li family, it was definitely a high-level to be able to get into such a marriage. Her mother was very optimistic about this marriage, but her father never agreed. She didn't know why.
Now that Bai Heran said this, Li Yueru was thinking: Princess Tianci was still aiming at her sister, and she wanted to persuade her to give up and then get more opportunities for her sister.
Thinking of this, Li Yueru was a little discouraged because with Bai He Ran's power and the current situation of the Li family, she could not compete with Bai Yanyu at all, and it was very likely that she would anger Bai He Ran and put the Li family in a greater predicament.
However, she also felt that Bai Heran was not that kind of person. She had not had too much contact with this princess of Tianci. She heard that the polarization was very serious. On the one hand, she said that she was a genius doctor who saved the world and was a great person like a Bodhisattva. On the other hand, she said that she was arrogant and domineering. Even if the prince provoked her, she could take revenge.
Not to mention others, but to just say that her cousin, the fifth prince, was in a very miserable situation in Bai Heran's hands.
But she still doesn't think Bai Heran is a bad person, and the bad person will not have such clear eyes.
So she asked Bai Heran clearly: "Did Princess Tianci tell me this way for her sister?"
Bai Heran smiled, "No, I'm just telling you the truth. I am a doctor, and I know what consequences will happen if two people who are close to blood relationships intermarriage. But at the same time, I also know that this is unlikely. The concept of cousin getting married has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and it can't be changed by my own strength. As for the sister you mentioned in my family... Miss Li, our mistress will not marry the fifth prince, and will never, and there is absolutely no possibility."
She said it very firmly, and affirmed it three times in a row, which surprised Li Yueru.
She told Bai Heran: "The third lady of the Bai family likes the fifth prince very much. I know. When my aunt passed away, I went to the palace to pay my respects. When I saw the third lady, I also went there and was crying, which made many people think she was from the Li family."
"So what?" Bai Heran shook his head expressionlessly, "No matter how fierce she cried, she could not change the fact that she had no fate with the fifth prince. So you don't have to take our mistress to heart. No matter if I tell you that my cousin shouldn't get married, Bai Yanyu will never be your competitor in the matter of the fifth prince."
"But... why?" Li Yueru didn't understand even more, "Did the Duke disagree or the Emperor disagree?"
"Everyone doesn't agree." Bai Heran looked at Li Yueru and told her seriously, "The most important thing is that I don't agree!"
"You..." Li Yueru was a little confused, "You don't agree? Can you be the master of the third lady?"
"It's OK." Bai Heran said it with certainty and firmness, "I said no, it's not OK."
Li Yueru got out of the car in chaos and doubts. Until she walked into the Li Mansion, she didn't understand why Bai Heran resisted Bai Yanyu and the fifth prince were so resistant. Although this was good news for her, she had always cared about Bai Yanyu's liking to the fifth prince, and she always regarded Bai Yanyu as her only competitor. Even when she learned that the fifth prince had specially gone to Tianci Town to meet Bai Yanyu before leaving Beijing, she cried for several days.
But Bai Heran's attitude still puzzled her, but she was puzzled. The troublesome things of the Li family have made her no longer think about these things. The people from the tea shop come to the door, the people from the cloth shop come to the door, and the people from the gold shop come to the door, and the people from the Li family are in chaos...
Bai Heran returned to the house, and this time no one hid in the yard and waited to beat her. Bai Xingyan was beaten so hard that he was already lying on the couch to rest. I was afraid that he would not be able to attend court until early tomorrow morning, so he would have to lie for two or three days.
The old lady's illness also improved, and everyone was relieved that Bai Heran was there, so everyone from Xiaobai Mansion and the general's mansion went back and stopped watching. Jinrong Courtyard is now taking care of the Hong and Lin families in turn, and the servants in the yard are sufficiently in staff and busy.
But the two new concubines did not move forward. Yingchun told Bai Heran: "It's not that they don't want to be filial. It's because Mrs. Hong didn't let them go because she couldn't trust them. After all, the two were found by the Guo family. Who knows if something happened to the service?"
