Chapter 884 - 881: Atmosphere
"How can that be the same? The child under the second lady’s care carries the surname Qin, not Bai! Are we really going to let the Bai family’s throne fall into the hands of the Qin family?"
Bai Qingping continued to inquire, "Doesn’t the second lady carry the blood of the Bai family’s legitimate lineage?"
"It’s different, women are supposed to marry out..."
That clan member spoke too hastily, and only after blurting out did he realize Bai Qingyan is also a woman.
"Oh... so you look down on women!" Bai Qingping raised the teacup beside him, "Since it’s like this, why do you hold yourselves as royalty? Her Majesty... is a woman!"
"A Ping, you too, discussing matters so boldly with the elders here. Is this something the clan can influence?" Bai Qihe, calm and collected, with an air of indifference, continued, "Don’t forget, the clan once acted outrageously, almost forcing Her Majesty to request to leave the clan. Now, donating money and grain to protect Shuoyang is just atonement for those crimes! It’s already good that Her Majesty doesn’t hold grudges after ascending the throne; who dares to plead for merit before Her Majesty, or force Her Majesty to adopt a clan heir? If anyone dares... let them go to Her Majesty. As for me, the clan leader, I don’t dare. I don’t want to disrupt my comfortable life by doing something foolish."
Upon hearing Bai Qihe’s words, the clan members fell silent.
"Father’s lesson is apt!" Bai Qingping stood up, his temper much calmer, holding back laughter as he bowed deeply to Bai Qihe, "Your son won’t dare anymore."
Bai Clan members: "..."
