As the only non-imperial Wang in Daqi, the Bai Family was easy to locate. When the trio arrived at the gates of the Wang Residence, Tong Xingda, very astutely, stepped forward and first gave the gatekeeper five taels of silver. Then, he asked the gatekeeper to go inside and inform Bai Zhi, telling her that Qiao Xiaomai’s in-laws were seeking an audience.
Bai Zhi was at odds with Qiao Xiaomai; by mentioning Qiao Xiaomai’s name, if Bai Zhi truly sought revenge, she would definitely let them in immediately.
Bai Zhi was currently under house arrest; a few days earlier, she had been sent back from the Imperial Palace by Yang Wenxiao’s people, and Lord Bai had immediately ordered her to be confined to her room without setting a foot outside.
Old Lord Bai knew his days were numbered, and once he passed away, the honor and favor enjoyed by the Bai Residence were certain to disperse.
In such circumstances, Bai Zhi should have been obedient and endeavored to win Emperor Yong’an, Yang Wenxiao’s, favor, rather than roundaboutly insulting the entire Yang Family.
Stupid!
Considering his short time left, Old Lord Bai did not indulge Bai Zhi as he had done previously. On the second day of her confinement, he went to see Bai Zhi in person and explained the situation to her in painstaking detail until she understood.
Bai Zhi was not foolish–quite the opposite, in fact; she was very smart. As long as it didn’t involve Yang Ye, she managed to please Emperor Yong’an greatly.
After listening to her great-grandfather, Bai Zhi shed tears and expressed understanding, acknowledging her mistake and vowing never to repeat it.
Her display softened Old Lord Bai’s heart, so he extended her confinement from her room to the entire Wang Residence.
The gatekeeper came to report while she was boredly tending to the garden’s flowering branches.
Qiao Xiaomai’s in-laws.
This phrase echoed several times in her head. She couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth and said, “Let them in.”
When Tong Xingda, Zhang Family, and Qiao Meipan–the three of them–arrived in the garden, Bai Zhi looked them up and down with an expressionless face several times. Her tone was somewhat cold, “What brings you to seek the county princess?
Zhang Family and Qiao Meipan, having not seen much of the world, had already been awed by the grandeur of the Wang Residence along the way. Now, they both lowered their heads, not daring even to glimpse Bai Zhi’s face, remaining as silent as if they had become mute.
The disparity in status.
At that moment, both of them truly felt the weight of those words. Bai Zhi seemed like a cloud floating in the sky, while they were like the dirt beneath their feet, fearing that getting any closer would soil the innate nobility that Bai Zhi naturally carried.
Though Zhang Family and Qiao Meipan were as tremulous as quails, Tong Xingda was not intimidated. A noble residence like his own was not much inferior to the Wang Residence; he was accustomed to such splendor.
As Bai Zhi asked her question, he quickly squeezed out a smile and opened his mouth to speak, “Your Highness, we three have come today seeking your adjudication.”
