C23 The Bai Family's Strength Has Risen to the Surface

"Are you the girl from the Bai family who has been popular in the capital for the past few days?" Lau Yunyan could not believe it.

"She is also my niece. Miss Liu, please explain what you just said." Rani Yi also came down from the second floor.

"Greetings, Rani Yi." Lau Yunyan immediately greeted and the surrounding people also tactfully retreated.

The man nodded towards Rani Yi and said, "This matter, I think our Bai family can solve it by ourselves. I won't have to trouble you, Princess."

Rani Yi didn't get angry because of his words. Why would it be difficult for her to stand up for Jiegeng? However, to stand up in the capital, family background was the most fundamental support.

Rani Yi smiled at the man, indicating that she would not interfere.

"Miss Liu, I advise you to apologize to our Young Patriarch." Although the man was smiling at Lau Yunyan, his words and tone were full of threat.

"My sister is one of the four consorts, and my father is a rank two official. Is it possible for him to ask me to apologize to a civilian?" Ruyan Liu's arrogant temper was completely exposed.

"You have said so many dignified words. Which one of them is your rank? In the end, you are just a civilian with the title of a noble woman." Jiegeng hated people who relied on their family background to flaunt their power. Furthermore, this person had once framed her.

Lau Yunyan was furious. Today, she was actually stepped on by these people who did not know what was going on.

"But aren't you the same? Agriculture and commerce. In the end, you are also the lowest class of people. What can you do to me?" She did not believe that people could fight with officials!

"I won't do anything." The man was not angry at all. To him, it was just like watching a monkey show its claws and claws.

"I just don't want to do business with your family." The man said indifferently.

Lau Yunyan immediately reacted. The Piao Yuan's Pharmacy was the leader of the pharmaceutical industry. Even the Palace's medicine control was handled by the Piao Yuan's Pharmacy. Medium-grade and above medicinal sources, including tonics, were all in the hands of the Piao Yuan's Pharmacy. Wouldn't they have to buy the lowest grade?

The man seemed to have seen through her thoughts and casually added. "I believe that if I continue to say this, you won't even be able to buy the lowest grade medicine dregs."

Once these words were spoken, even if Lau Yunyan did not want to lose face, she would still have to compromise for the time being. Otherwise, if she were to cause any trouble again, her father would definitely not let her off lightly.

"I'm sorry! "Lau Yunyan gritted her teeth and said these words to Jiegeng before forcefully swallowing her anger and leaving. In her heart, she was still thinking about how to let her father and sister properly punish these people who did not know what was going on. She must make her suffer today's humiliation and they will repay it with double the amount one day.

Rani Yi looked at the imposing manner of the Piao Yuan's Pharmacy's head and immediately felt relieved. This time, Jiegeng could be considered to have the protection of her family in the capital.

"Aunt, I need to have a good chat with him." At this moment, Jiegeng still did not know much about the name of the Young Patriarch that suddenly appeared. She urgently needed to know how much Grandfather hid from her.

Rani Yi nodded, "Go."

Jiegeng and the man went to a private room in a nearby teahouse.

"Tell me first, what is your name?" Jiegeng was called the Young Master for a long time, but she did not even know his name.

"Bai Lan." Bai Lan looked at the little girl in front of him with a gentle look in his eyes.

"You are also from the Bai family?" Jiegeng wasn't surprised. Since it was the property of the Piao Yuan's Pharmacy, then the family in charge must be a member of the Bai's's family. Unfortunately, she didn't know anything about it.

"The Bai family has always been divided into two. It was a secret medical skill that inherited the inheritance of the Bai family. The other one was responsible for the source of medicine and financial reserves. It was to support the development of the Bai's family. Moreover, the rule left behind by our ancestors is that the branch that inherits medical skills is the most respected branch. " Bai Lan didn't wait for Jiegeng to ask questions one step at a time, and he took the initiative to explain it to her.

"However, the leaders of the two branches must come from the direct line of descent. Furthermore, it was selected and appointed by the previous leaders. It was not limited to his own children. As long as they are the direct line of descent. This would allow the Bai family's medical skills to be passed down to those who were truly talented. They will also be able to hand over the matter of expanding the Bai family to those who are truly capable."

"You are older than me. Does this mean that you can be considered my elder brother?" Jiegeng's mind was completely different from Bai Lan's. Bai Lan was trying hard to explain the origin of the Bai's family, but Jiegeng was struggling with the seniority between her and Bai Lan.

Bai Lan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Your grandfather and my grandfather are brothers, what do you think? In total, I am your cousin. "

"Then why do you call me the young master?"

"Because your grandfather is the master of Bai family. But he hasn't decided on the heir yet, so you're the only granddaughter left. It's reasonable and reasonable to call you the young patriarch." Jiegeng unknowingly changed Bai Lan's tone. He was used to being mature with those businessmen. He rarely had a pleasant conversation with people who were younger than him. It was a conversation without any interest in profit. Suddenly, when he faced the little girl, he couldn't help but subconsciously change his way of coaxing the little girl.

"Since that's the case, don't call me Young Master anymore. I know how much weight I weigh, just like me. Only I can't control a big family. Just call me by my name." Jiegeng also realized the change in his tone and was immediately embarrassed. Did she really have such a young tooth?

"Yes, I know. The reason I called you that earlier was just to give you face." Bai Lan didn't hesitate to continue.

"You...!" Jiegeng did not even finish her sentence when she saw Bai Lan's expression change.

"However, you went to the capital this time and even alerted the royal family. You are really too reckless." After Bai Lan straightened his expression, Jiegeng looked at him with some fear.

"The family head is hiding from the world because of his great reputation. He must have encountered something that will harm the honor and disgrace of the Bai's. Although I am not clear about the exact reason, the patriarch must have wanted to retire from the Great Yan Dynasty. But now, with your disturbance, it will be hard for the Bai family to stay out of it. " Bai Lan stood up and looked out the window with a serious expression. There were a lot of people outside. It looked like a prosperous and peaceful place, but there were many conspiracies hidden under this peaceful place. How could he see through it so easily?

"When I found out about the Patriarch's disappearance, I didn't have the time to send someone to deal with you. You left on your own accord. When the branch finally found out about you, you were already with the group head. The hidden guards by the group leader's side are lurking, our people can't contact you at all. When you entered the capital, I happened to be away because of the search for the family leader. I never thought that you would have the ability to barge into Zhen'an King's military camp." Bai Lan sighed.

Jiegeng had never thought that this would involve so much. She immediately lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

Bai Lan turned around and saw Jiegeng like this. His heart immediately ached. "This matter is not your fault. My duty is to protect the entire Bai's. It was my negligence that I couldn't stop you. Therefore, you don't have to blame yourself. "

" Then why did you make my identity clear in front of so many people today? "

"Since you have openly shown yourself in the capital and revealed the identity of the Bai family, this is a protective talisman for you in the capital. The more valuable you are, the more people will protect you. " Bai Lan had no choice but to do so.

"There is one more thing I need to tell you." Bai Lan's eyes were sharp.

"The disappearance of the patriarch is related to Qi Country. If you find any suspicious people around you... Be careful. " Bai Lan didn't know that Bai Qing had crossed paths with the people of the Qi Country eight years ago. At this moment, he was also searching for clues. What he could do now was to warn Jiegeng in advance.

When Jiegeng heard this news, she was also surprised and puzzled. "Then do I need to inform Zhen'an King about this news?"

Bai Lan sneered. "No need, I can find out. Zhen'an King naturally knew about it. What he needed to do was to stay out of it as much as possible. This is not something you can deal with, understand? " Bai Lan's last words were very serious.

No matter how unwilling Jiegeng was in her heart, she could only nod her head.

"Take this token. With it, you can give any order in any Piao Yuan's Pharmacy. I have arranged for trusted aides in every medicine hall in the capital. I will know all your needs." Bai Lan gave Jiegeng a small token made of gold.

Jiegeng accepted it neatly.

After Jiegeng returned to King Yi's Mansion with a heavy heart, she was immediately washed away by Rani Yi's pile of new clothes and jewelry in her room.

"Aunt, what are you doing?" Jiegeng even suspected that she had moved all the things in the store into the air.

"You finally came back. I don't know what you like. I might as well buy all the new models that looked good. Let's see if there's anything we like. If not, we'll go for a walk tomorrow. " Rani Yi kept comparing them with each other.

"Aunt, that's enough, that's enough!" Jiegeng did not expect Rani Yi's purchasing power to be so shocking. She could now understand why Ms Shihan was not willing to go out with her.

"The decoration of this courtyard is too monotonous, but you can rest assured. I will immediately get someone to tidy up this place. No one usually stays in this courtyard. There isn't even a decent decoration in the house. Shihan, this lass, was really too careless." Rani Yi looked around and was very dissatisfied.

"Fang'er, go to the warehouse later and bring some good decorations. Also, keep an eye on that courtyard. Make sure that the artisans in the flower house plant all the flowers that I just ordered within two days."

"Yes, Princess." Aunt Fang immediately went out to work.

"Aunt, thank you." Jiegeng looked emotionally at Rani Yi. From her body, she could feel the long-lost motherly love.

"Silly child, between family, there is no need to talk about this. Isn't it natural for me to do these things for my own child?" Seeing Jiegeng's expression becoming more and more natural in the Imperial Residence these few days, Rani Yi's heart was also filled with gratification.

"Quickly take a look." Rani Yi pulled Jiegeng's attention to those newly bought items.

Jiegeng first started to rummage through the jewelry as if she was looking for something.

"Jiegeng, you are looking for this jade pendant right?" Rani Yi took out a purple jade pendant from an exquisite gift box on Jiegeng's dressing table.

Jiegeng immediately nodded when she saw it. "En, that's it."

Holding the jade pendant tightly in her hand, Jiegeng could not wait to give it to Duan Shuang. But how could she give it to him? Wouldn't it be too reckless to give it to him directly?

Jiegeng was deeply distressed.
