The corner of the second Madame's mouth raised into a cold smile, and he glanced at He Siyu indifferently, "The young miss' injury was seen by the female doctor in the palace, if he wasn't injured, how would the female doctor dare to deceive the Emperor and the Crown Prince?"

Second Madame's words meant that even if they were trying to bully the sovereign, the female doctor was trying to bully the sovereign, not to mention that this kind of assumption was impossible. The crown prince and the Princess Suo had spent a lot of time and effort on Big Miss's injuries back then. How could it be fake?

When everyone heard this, they all gave up on the idea of pressing down on Bai Li for deceiving him.

Who didn't know that the Emperor had always doted on Bai Lier? Those precious rewards from before were even given to the West Prefecture as if they didn't need money, and now that the Crown Prince had changed his opinion of Bai Lier, and was giving gifts to the Bai Mansion everyday, even if they wanted to frame them, the Emperor and the Crown Prince would probably ignore them?

"Then why did her injury heal so quickly?" He Siyu choked on her defeat.

"Who knows? Maybe the Princess Suo and the Crown Prince found some precious medicine for the young miss."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The meaning behind the Second Madame's words was obvious. If he wanted to frame the First Miss, she shouldn't forget that she still had the Princess Suo and the Crown Prince behind her.

Chun Xi arranged everything in the West Prefecture and returned there.

"Old Madame, the West Prefecture is ready."

The old lady nodded and helped Liao Momo up, "Alright, let's go over. The guests should be here soon."

"Yes."

Everyone stood up and followed old lady to West Prefecture.

West Prefecture, wutong garden.

"Aunt, Grandpa is coming back." Bai Li said as she looked at Bai Qingyan happily.

Hearing this, Bai Qingyan's eyes lit up, "Really, when is it?"

Bai Li smirked, "I said it's just for two days."

"That's great! Your grandfather would definitely be very happy if he knew you were well."

Bai Qingyan patted Bai Li's hands in joy.

Bai Li nodded, "Mn, this time when he returns, he won't need to go out again."

Since her grandfather was so old, it was hard for her to keep running for him. Fortunately, she recovered and her meridians were restored, so her grandfather no longer had to worry about her.

"external ancestor is coming back. That's great, I haven't seen external ancestor in a long time."

A trace of longing flashed past Murong Yuyun's beautiful eyes, as she was the one that external ancestor doted on the most when she was young.

Bai Qingyan glared at Murong Yuyun coquettishly. "Wait till your external ancestor comes back, then you can come and stay at your Cousin Li'er's place. I'll let you meet the heavens."

Murong Yuyun jumped in joy, "Really? That's great, I'm going to stay at Cousin Li'er's place. I won't go back there."

Murong Yuyun said as she threw herself into Bai Li's embrace, as if she was reluctant to leave.

Seeing Murong Yuyun's rogue look, Bai Qingyan and Bai Li both looked at each other and laughed.

Qi Wen pushed the curtains and walked in, "Miss, Old Madame, Second Madame, Third Wife and Second Aunt have come to pay their respects to Princess."

"Second Aunt?"

Bai Li frowned, she could not react in time, who was the Second Aunt that Qi Wen was referring to?

"She's the eldest daughter of the Little Yang family."

When Bai Chulan was mentioned, her eyes were filled with loathing.

Hearing Bai Qingyan's ice-cold tone and her stiff way of addressing him, a light flashed across Bai Li's eyes.

Looks like Aunt and Second Aunt have a grudge, no wonder she doesn't like old lady.

"Let them go to the main hall. Tell them we'll be there in a moment." Bai Qingyan turned to Qi Wen expressionlessly.

"Yes."

Qi Wen immediately responded, then bowed and left the room.

Outside the wutong garden, the old Madame, Bai Chulan and the others were all waiting impatiently.

Qi Wen walked out and bowed to everyone.

"Old Madame, Second Madame, Third Wife, Royal Concubine invited you guys to wait in the great hall. She and young miss will be there in a while."

Hearing that, old lady frowned, a look of displeasure flashing past his eyes.

Bai Chulan and Third Wife were also frowning unhappily.

On the other hand, the Third Wife seemed to have expected this to happen, her expression was indifferent.

No matter how unhappy they were, it was impossible for old lady to bring people to forcefully barge into the wutong garden.

Once he reached the main hall, Bai Chulan scolded angrily.

"What does this Bai Qingyan mean? As a married woman, she still treated the General's Estate as her own home. Wasn't she just an imperial concubine? "What kind of big show is this? They didn't even see us and even rushed us to the main hall."

Hearing Bai Chulan's cursing, a look of disgust flashed past the eyes of the two Madame s at the same time.

Being kicked out was originally not something glorious to begin with, but Bai Chulan actually shouted so loudly instead. This was because she was afraid that others would not know that they were being chased out.

Third Wife also looked like she despised Third Wife.

Is this Second Aunt really my biological son? Why didn't she learn the wisdom and astuteness of old lady at all? Wasn't it obvious that Princess Suo was a married woman? What kind of sister-in-law would make such a ruckus in front of her own family and scold Princess Suo in such a manner? Wasn't this courting death?

Sure enough, when he heard his daughter's brainless words, old lady's expression immediately darkened.

"Mother …"

Bai Chulan wanted to choke back, but she was stopped by old lady's piercing gaze.

After stomping his feet in resentment, Bai Chulan unwillingly sat down on a chair to the side.

No longer paying attention to Bai Chulan, old lady turned around to look at Third Wife and Zhao Family.

"The guests are about to arrive. Both of you, go out and welcome them."

"Yes."

Naturally, Third Wife and Zhao Family were very willing to let such a good thing happen. They happily walked out of the main hall and headed for the main door.

At the main gate of General's Estate, there were indeed guests coming in succession.

Just as the two of them reached the door, a noblewoman and two beautiful young girls walked out of the carriage.

Seeing Madame and Young Miss of the Minister of Industry's house, Third Wife and Zhao Family immediately went to welcome them.

"Madame Cao is here."

Madame Cao laughed and cupped her hands, "Third Wife, congratulations to the sixth stage Madame."

Zhao Family proudly raised her head and puffed up her chest.

Third Wife, on the other hand, humbly cupped her hands and said, "Same to you, same to you. Please come in."

Just as Madame Cao and her two daughters went in, Madame arrived.

"Madame Qi."

Madame Qi's face was expressionless as she nodded slightly, "Congratulations."

Seeing the serious expression on Madame Qi's face, Zhao Family's originally smiling face immediately darkened.

On the other hand, Third Wife did not seem to find it weird, she smiled and cupped her hands, "Same to you, please come in."

On this side, the Madame of the Tiandu clan and the Madame of the Shang Shu clan had arrived together.

"Mrs. Yuan, Madame Su, long time no see."

Third Wife went forward to welcome him politely.

Mrs. Yuan and Madame also politely held Third Wife's hand, "Third Wife, it's been a while."

"Second sister is inside. Please come in."

Mrs. Yuan and Madame Su agreed with a smile and went to the General's Estate to look for the Second Madame.

One of them was the eldest sister-in-law of the second Madame and the other was the handkerchief of the second Madame. Now that the Su Family and Yuan Zhou were married, their relationship was as good as family.

Seeing that Mrs. Yuan and Madame Su did not even look at him from beginning to end, Zhao Family was so angry that her teeth started to itch.

It was just two Second Rank Madame, what was there to be proud of? Don't come if you have the ability.

Very quickly, the Lady Xu brought Xu Sixian and Xu Sihui over.

"Eldest Sister-in-Law."

Seeing Lady Xu, Third Wife immediately welcomed him happily.

"Lady Xu is here." Zhao Family also went up to welcome him like a dog.

"Greetings, second aunt."

Xu Sixian and Xu Sihui bowed towards Third Wife, but Lady Xu's expression remained calm.

With regards to the Third Wife, Lady Xu looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, because even though she had married into the General's Estate, the Third Master of the Bai Family was still a fourth stage general.

As for the Zhao Family, he didn't even put him in her eyes. It was just a concubine that would not even be able to make it onto the stage. If it wasn't for the Queen of Queen praising her, she wouldn't have come to the banquet today.

"Sixian, Siyi is here too. Quickly go in."

The Third Wife personally led three people into the General's Estate.

Seeing that most of the people had come, the Zhao Family followed them in.

In the main hall, Rui Zhu walked to the side of the two Madame and whispered, "Madame, Madame Su and Mrs. Yuan have arrived."

Hearing that, the eyes of the two Madame s lit up, and they immediately retreated and left the main hall.

"Eldest Sister-in-Law, Shuzhen."

Seeing Madame Su and Mrs. Yuan, the second Madame waved her handkerchief happily.

Mrs. Yuan also waved his handkerchief, "You've come at just the right time, we were looking for you."

"Shuzhen, when did you return to the capital?" The second Madame joyfully pulled the Mrs. Yuan along.

"Qin'er is pregnant. She came to see me, so I pulled her along. It has been a long time since you last saw her."

Madame was smiling until her face was red, her eyes full of joy.

When the Second Madame heard this, his face was also filled with pleasant surprise. "Qin'er is pregnant. This is a joyous occasion. Congratulations to the two of you."

Mrs. Yuan and Madame Su looked at each other and smiled, both of them extremely happy.

The second Madame brought Mrs. Yuan and Su Madame to the garden to talk.

"If you want me to say, old lady is the same. What celebration are you doing for something that can't even be placed on stage?"

Mrs. Yuan had a look of disdain on her face.

A light flashed in the eyes of the second Madame, "Isn't she being favored by the Empress? That's why the old lady is praising her."

Madame Su snorted and said softly, "old lady Bai is truly snobbish."

Second Madame curled her lips in embarrassment and did not say anything.

Third Wife also called out to him.

Seeing Lady Xu's cold face, Third Wife frowned, "Sis, did something happen?"

Lady Xu snorted coldly, and said unhappily, "You're still talking about it, wasn't it your family's fool who did such a good deed?"

Third Wife was stunned for a moment before reacting.

"You're talking about Bai Lier?"

"Who else but her?"

When it came to Bai Li, the Lady Xu was extremely furious.

"What happened to her?" Third Wife frowned, her face filled with doubt.

What did Bai Lier do to make her so angry?

"Look at that neck of hers."

Lady Xu opened up Xu Sihui's collar a little.

Seeing the scab on Xu Sihui's neck, Third Wife opened her eyes wide in shock.

"What's going on?"
