Chapter 930 - 927: Jumping Clown
Bai Qihe, who arrived in Dadu City with the Bai family group, approached with his wife Mrs. Fang, and respectfully performed the obeisance ceremony before Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qihe felt quite guilty for not being able to restrain the clan members, allowing those with delusions to swarm to Dadu City like a flock of birds.
He heard that those clan members came to Dadu City and were receiving bribes under the guise of Imperial Clan, collecting property and real estate given by others... So he came this time to apologize to Bai Qingyan and, more importantly, to perfect the clan law, using clan rules to punish these clan members.
Clan law couldn’t restrain members from coming to Dadu City, but if one truly needed to be expelled from the clan... there were many ways!
Now, as Bai Qingyan is to ascend to the throne, being a member of Bai Qingyan’s clan would undoubtedly mean being kin to royalty. But Bai Qingyan, as a woman ascending to the throne, was already controversial. If the clan members were indiscreet, it would provide more grounds for others to criticize Bai Qingyan, which Bai Qihe was unwilling to see.
"Clan Leader, you must be weary from the journey. Please offer incense to Grandmother first!" Bai Qingyan said.
"Bai Qihe dares not accept Your Majesty’s mention of weariness. I failed to restrain the clan members, allowing those who came early to indulge wantonly under Your Majesty’s name, receiving gifts from others. I came this time... to mourn the Eldest Princess and to use clan law and rules to punish the clan members; those who must be expelled will not be spared!" Bai Qihe finished speaking and heavily kowtowed to Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qihe’s words were meant for those clan members who came to Dadu City early to take advantage.
Bai Qingyan nodded: "In that case, let Clan Leader investigate and handle the matter now."
"Yes!" Bai Qihe responded.
