2202 Chapter 2201-act according to the law
“Other than the eldest branch’s grandson, that little young master Yi ge ‘er, the other males of the Bai family have already settled down. Wangfei doesn’t have the time to raise a two year old child, and she also doesn’t have the energy to change the character of two ten year old men to become the head of the family. Therefore, Bai Shijun is the most suitable candidate.”
“Wangfei wants to bring glory to the Donglin Palace. Even if he didn’t bring it to greater heights, he had to at least preserve his current reputation and not let him be defeated. The princess Consort was old, and no one knew how many years she could live. Therefore, it had to be Bai Shijun. Other than Bai Shijun, everyone else was at risk. Wangfei is doing this for the Donglin Palace.”
Second white understood the twists and turns of this.
The Donglin royal family was different from the other royal families. The Bai family was the first royal family of the great Zhou. They didn’t have the Royal bloodline. When the Donglin royal family handed over the commander’s seal, they said that the descendants of the Bai family would stay in tai state forever.
If the Bai family’s sons lived up to expectations, the princess Consort wouldn’t have to worry so much.
However, the Bai family’s sons were not able to live up to expectations at all. After this incident, Bai laosan was dumbfounded. He probably wouldn’t be able to come back to his senses for a while. Even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to become the king of Dong Lin.
Old fourth Bai was a young master of a big family, the youngest son in the family. He did not have to worry about anything since he was young. Moreover, he was impulsive and could not take on such a big responsibility.
The second son of the second branch, Bai Shilin, was a little dandy. He did not like literature nor did he practice martial arts. All he thought about all day was to eat and drink to pass the time. Perhaps he could teach him well, but the princess Consort was not willing to spend this time.
The third mistress only had two daughters, while the fourth mistress, Bai Shiqi, was like a bookworm who did not like to communicate with others. He could stay in his room for a few days without going out and kill time by reading and painting. Such a person was not competent enough.
However, Bai Shijun was different. He had two sides to him. One side was what he showed, and the other was what he deliberately concealed.
He had shown that he took his Big Uncle and big cousin as role models. He was able to become an elegant young master praised by everyone, had a wide range of friends outside, and was very loyal to his friends. If he wanted you to like him, it was really an easy thing to do.
He was meticulous and learned things very quickly. He had done so many things in secret and investigated everything clearly. It seemed that the Bai family had no secrets from him.
It was just that he was a little paranoid and a little cruel.
However, if the princess Consort wanted to protect him, she would definitely give him a beating in the next few years.
The princess Consort was still capable. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become the princess Consort from a village woman and made the king of Donglin, who had outstanding military achievements, listen to her for the rest of his life.
The king of Dong Lin was not as kind as Bai Shijun when he was young. The princess Consort might have thought that if she could teach the king of Dong Lin, she would definitely be able to teach Bai Shijun.
Naturally, she did not wish for her children and grandchildren to guard the king’s residence and slowly decline until they completely disappeared in the torrent of time.
Gu Xin clapped her hands,’I thought so too. There was really no one in the Donglin royal family that was worth looking at. In terms of ability, Bai Shijun was the only one. However, he had really killed someone, and it was his own family. I’m not sure if the Emperor will turn a blind eye to this.”
Zheng Wei said in a deep voice,”since the law is there, I believe the Emperor will not turn a blind eye.” A life for a life, it was only right and proper, regardless of whether the family of the deceased forgave them or not, or who else was the murderer but the deceased. Otherwise, what’s the use of the law!”
