C30 Man Palm

It was because of a suggestion from her uncle, Bai Xun, that her father's body be hung on the meridian gate for three days and three nights. She barged into the Imperial City because she couldn't stand to see her father being humiliated after death.

Unfortunately, from the beginning to the end, the people in the Prime Minister's residence had been indifferent. They stood to the side and watched the scene while laughing, adding fuel to the fire.

Bai Suyue's heart surged with an inexplicable sense of hostility when she thought of that scene.

"Yue Er, is what Lady Shang said true?"

Bai Suyue regained her senses. She raised her chin and shook her head. "That's not true!"

"She's lying. We all saw it. That's the way it is!"

Bai Suyue noticed that many of the people present started to agree with her. Eldest Madame and the madame had cold gazes in their eyes. Everyone present was targeting her.

She calmly spoke. The feeling of being above everyone else made her feel as if she was independent from the world. No matter how chaotic the commotion was, it had nothing to do with her.

"Truly shameless. Let's see how you can argue with that in front of so many people's eyes!"

When Madam Shang heard that Bai Suyue did not admit her mistake, her chest heaved with anger. Bai Suyue smiled lightly, completely unflustered, "I just wanted to ask her a question, that's why I caught her. Who knew that she would hit me before I could even open my mouth? Could it be that I'm going to stand there stupidly and be beaten by her?"

"Nonsense! How could she possibly hit you? You were the one who attacked first, and now you're upsetting black and white!"

Seeing her precious daughter's face beaten to such a state, Madam Shang Shu's eyes burned with anger, and she snorted coldly: "If such a lie is believed by everyone, this wife has nothing to say. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, our Minister's Mansion will not rest either!"

A faint smile flashed across Eldest Madame's eyes after she said those harsh words.

"Yue Er, if you don't apologize, aunty won't be able to explain. Someone, slap your face!"

The two words came out of Eldest Madame's mouth and two tall servants were immediately brought over from the backyard.

Everyone on the scene was watching the show. When they saw that Bai Suyue was about to be taken care of, they covered their mouths and laughed. Bai Suyue was overestimating herself.

Bai Suyue had no intention of standing on the spot and waiting to be beaten. She still remembered how, in her previous life, she had obediently hid in a corner, and this Sun Rui-Er had ran over to her and shouted at her. She then fell to the ground, pretending to be angry and loudly saying that she had been hit.

This time, she really gave her a good beating.

Just when everyone thought that Bai Suyue would immediately fall to the ground and be slapped in the mouth, an unexpected turn of events occurred. Two tall servants were kicked to the ground by Bai Suyue.

This old man's eyes were wide open, and his aged face was twitching slightly.

"He's rebelling! He's really rebelling! Someone, call Bai Zhen over!"

The old mistress' order had shocked the entire Prime Minister's Residence.

After all, the protagonist of the day was the madame. The officials in the front yard were reminiscing about the old days, so when they heard the nanny's summons, they thought something big had happened. They followed behind Bai Junye and Bai Zhen and headed towards the front yard curiously.

As soon as the officials entered, they saw the madame sitting on the platform. She was looking at Bai Zhen De with a stern expression.

The head of the family, Bai Xun, who was standing among the officials, immediately walked up to the madame.

"Mother, what happened that made you so angry?"

When the old mistress saw Bai Xun, her expression softened a little. "It's none of your business. Get Bai Zhen to come up!"

Bai Zhen glanced at the madame. He knew things were not going well, but he still forced himself to walk to the front.

"Kneel!"

The madame looked at Bai Zhen coldly with a sharp look in her eyes.

Bai Zhen was stunned.

He had originally thought that now that he had succeeded and become famous, the madame must have invited him to Bai Mansion because she changed her mind and missed his son. But now, it seemed that he was wrong.

The civil and military officials stood below. Even Feng Muling and Feng Qingcheng, the two adult princes, were in the crowd. There were also countless leading figures in the capital.

Yan Mochi was able to see Bai Suyue with his sharp eyes, who was hiding in the bush.

He silently pursed his lips and spread out the fan, hiding the smile on his lips like a fox.

Bai Zhen paused and remained silent for a while. However, he still allowed the madame to kneel before everyone.

The crowd instantly turned silent.

Even though it was natural for his son to kneel to his mother, it still had to be done on special occasions, not to mention that the family was untouchable. If anything happened, he could just close the door and tell his family that he was not allowed to be seen as a joke by outsiders.

Seeing Bai Zhen kneeling in front of her, she felt better. Her voice sounded hoarse from her old age, "I didn't teach my father, but that girl, Bai Suyue, ran away after wounding her father. As her father, you should make an apology in her place. What I said, was it right?"

Bai Zhen was silent for a moment.

If it was the past, he would not hesitate to believe the madame's words and apologize to her. But now, he hesitated.

Because in these two days, Bai Suyue had given him a different feeling. She wasn't the kind of child who would casually make a move against others.

"Madam, how could Yue Er be a casual adult? Is there a mistake here?"

Bai Zhen's voice contained a few questions and questions. The old lady, seeing that he actually dared to talk back, slammed her hand on the table. The anger in her eyes deepened. "Did you make a mistake?" Are you doubting this old one's words? Do you think this old one will slander your good daughter for no reason? "

No one spoke up. After all, this was a family matter of the Bai Mansion, and even though some people were whispering to each other, the majority of the people were watching the situation unfold from the sidelines.

Bai Suyue, who was standing behind the bushes, clenched her teeth. She felt her heart clench as she watched Bai Zhen kneel down in front of the madame.

Unfortunately, she still couldn't go out. If she didn't let Bai Zhen completely give up on the madame at this banquet, he might have a lot of troubles in the future.

After all, the madame was her grandmother and Bai Zhen's mother. As her daughter, she could not say some things directly.

"Your son doesn't dare!"

"Since you don't dare, then quickly apologize and grab that ignorant girl of yours to teach her a lesson!"

The madame was high and mighty, giving out orders in an commanding tone. Bai Zhen could only hear the chill in his heart.

This was not the first time.

When the Minister of War and the Minister of War had originally been enemies with Bai Zhen, she spoke without any hesitation, "No wonder that girl was annulled by someone. So she didn't have any manners at all, I even heard that she was caught by the Crown Prince from the brothel. I don't know which man she slept with. How could a woman like her marry into the imperial family?"
