The corners of Second Madam's lips curled up into a cold smile, as she glanced at He Siyu indifferently, "The First Miss' injury was seen by the female doctor in the palace. If she wasn't injured, then how would the female doctor dare to deceive the Emperor and His Highness?"

Second Madam's words meant that even if they were trying to bully the sovereign, it would be female doctor trying to bully the sovereign, let alone this kind of assumption was impossible. The emperor's crown prince and Princess Suo didn't spend too much effort on Big Miss's injuries back then. How could they possibly 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 Li?er? The precious rewards that he had bestowed upon the West Prefecture were even given to him as if he didn't need any money. Now that the Crown Prince had changed his opinion of Bai Li?er, and was giving gifts to the Bai Mansion every single day, even if they wanted to frame him, the Emperor and the Crown Prince would probably ignore them?

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

"Who knows. Maybe the Princess Suo and the Crown Prince found some precious medicine for Eldest Miss."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

The meaning behind Second Madam's words was very clear. If they wanted to frame Eldest Miss, they should not 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.

"Madame, the West Prefecture is ready."

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

"Yes."

Everyone stood up and followed the old lady to West Prefecture.

West Prefecture, wutong garden.

"Aunt, Grandpa is coming back." Bai Li said as he 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 he threw himself into Bai Li's embrace, as if he was reluctant to leave.

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

Qi Wen opened the curtain and walked in, "Miss, Madam, Second Madam, Third Madame and Second Aunt have come to pay their respects to Princess Hua-Yang."

"Second Aunt?"

Bai Li frowned, he 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, his 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.

It seemed that his aunt and the Second Aunt had a grudge, no wonder she wasn't fond of the 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 wutong garden, the Old Mistress, Bai Chulan and the rest were waiting impatiently.

Qi Wen walked out and bowed to everyone.

"Madame, Second Madam, Third Madame, Second Aunt, and Princess would like to invite you to the main hall to wait. She and Miss will be there shortly."

The old lady frowned when she heard this, a hint of displeasure flashing across her deep eyes.

Bai Chulan and Third Madame were also frowning unhappily.

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

No matter how unhappy she was, the Old Granny could not bring her people to forcefully break into the wutong garden. She could only bring everyone to the main hall.

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 Second Madam's eyes 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 he was afraid that others would not know that they were being chased out.

Third Madame also looked like he despised Third Madame.

Was this Second Aunt really the old lady's biological daughter? Why didn't he learn anything from the old lady's astute wisdom? 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, after hearing her daughter speak so brainlessly, the old woman's face immediately darkened as she growled, "Shut up! You can even talk about the wangfei."

"Mother ?"

Bai Chulan was about to choke on her words, but the old lady stared back with a sharp glare.

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

The old lady no longer paid any attention to Bai Chulan and turned to look at Third Madame.

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

"Yes."

Naturally, Third Madame and Madam Zhao 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 the wife and daughters of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, Third Madame and Madam Zhao immediately went to welcome them.

"Madam Cao is here."

Madam Cao smiled and cupped her hands. "Third Madame, Lady Liu, congratulations."

Madam Zhao proudly raised his head and puffed up his chest.

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

When Madam Cao and her two daughters entered, the Qi Xia Shi's wife had just arrived.

"Mrs. Qi."

Mrs. Qi expressionlessly nodded his head, "Congratulations."

Seeing Mrs. Qi's serious face, Madam Zhao's originally smiling face immediately darkened.

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

On the other side, the lady from the Tiandu Mansion and the lady from the Shang Shu Mansion came together.

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

Third Madame went forward to welcome him politely.

Mrs. Yuan and Madam Su also politely pulled on Third Madame's hand, "Third Madame, it's been a while."

"Second sister is inside. Please come in."

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

Madam Su and Mrs. Yuan, one was the second wife's elder sister-in-law, the other was the second wife's handkerchief delivery. Now that the Su Family and her family were engaged, their relationship was as good as family.

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

It was just two second rank madams, what was there to be proud of? Don't come if you have the ability.

Very quickly, the Mr. Xu of the Prime Minister's Estate also brought Xu Sixian and Xu Sihui over.

"Eldest Sister-in-Law."

Seeing Mr. Xu, Third Madame immediately welcomed him happily.

"Mr. Xu is here." Madam Zhao also went up to welcome him like a dog.

"Greetings, second aunt."

Xu Sixian and Xu Sihui bowed towards Third Madame, but Mr. Xu's expression remained calm.

With regards to the Third Madame, Mr. 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 Madam Zhao, she 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 Madame personally led three people into the General's Estate.

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

In the main hall, Rui Zhu walked to Second Madam's side and whispered, "Madam, Madam Su and Mrs. Yuan have arrived."

Hearing this, Second Madam's eyes lit up. She immediately excused herself from the main hall.

"Eldest Sister-in-Law, Shuzhen."

Seeing Mistress Su and Mrs. Yuan, Second Madam 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?" Second Madam Ye happily pulled 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."

Madam Su's face was flushed with laughter, her eyes filled with joy.

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

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

Second Madam brought Mrs. Yuan and Madam Su to the garden to talk.

"You old ladies are the same, why would you hold a celebratory feast for something that can't be served?"

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

A light flashed in the Second Madam's eyes, "Isn't she being favored by the Queen of Queen? That's why the Old Granny raised her."

Madam Su snorted coldly and said softly, "Old Madame Bai is really snobbish."

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

Third Madame also called out to him.

Seeing Mr. Xu's cold face, Third Madame frowned, "Sis, did something happen?"

Mr. 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 Madame was stunned for a moment before reacting.

"You're talking about Bai Li?er?"

"Who else but her?"

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

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

What did Bai Li?er do to make her so angry?

"Look at that neck of hers."

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

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

"What's going on?"
