Chapter 60: Agree to One Condition
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“A clear conscience?” Old Madam looked at Bai Yuantai’s family, who were crying, and then at the expressionless Bai Xianyu. She almost fainted. “You’re disrespectful to your elders and spouting nonsense. Is this a clear conscience?”
Bai Xianyu did not want to waste time. “Grandmother, if it’s just about this today, I’ll take my leave first.”
With that, she turned around.
When Madam Bai Meng saw that Bai Xianyu was about to leave without a care, she immediately sat on the ground and made a scene. “Mother, do you think Bai Xianyu cares about us elders? You must give us an explanation today, or I won’t get up!”
Old Madam hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed Bai Xianyu’s arm tightly. Her hand was still trembling. “If you have the ability, throw my old bones to the ground! Let your father in heaven see how his good daughter treats his biological mother!”
Not to mention Bai Xianyu, even Green Pearl had never seen this scene before. Madam Bai Meng was acting shamelessly like a peasant woman. Even Old Madam was grabbing onto Miss Bai and refusing to let her go.
The current Emperor ruled the country with benevolence and filial piety. If news of Old Madam crying and causing a scene like this spread, all of them would probably be implicated.
Bai Xianyu naturally understood what Green Pearl was thinking.
She suppressed her temper and looked straight at Madam Bai Meng. “What exactly do you want?”
They were crying in front of her Grandmother. They did not really want her to go to the Marquis of the Northern Garrison to seek justice for them. They must have other motives.
The corners of the girl’s eyes were slightly raised, and her eyes were extremely cold. She glanced at her indifferently, but it was extremely intimidating.
Under Bai Xianyu’s gaze, Madam Bai Meng had the illusion that she was the daughter of a noble family and was dignified. Meanwhile, she, who was sitting on the ground, was of lowly origin and a lowly servant.
Madam Bai Meng banished this ridiculous thought from her mind and said to Old Madam, “Mother, didn’t a few people come over to propose marriage to Bai Xianyu these days?”
Bai Xianyu frowned.
After all, she was still a girl. It was only right for the matchmaker to talk to her grandmother about marriage, but she had never heard her grandmother mention it.
Old Madam’s eyes flickered. “Yes.”
Madam Bai Meng said, “Then you should also get Bai Xianyu to bring our Yu’er along. Yu’er is well-mannered and smart, but she’s just unknown. If you get Bai Xianyu to bring her to the matchmaker and put in a good word for her, won’t Yu’er’s marriage be settled?”
When Old Madam heard this, she immediately came to a realization.
That’s right. It was not good for Yu’er to show her face now, but Xianyu was famous. Her grandsons were all outstanding, so she should let Yu’er follow Xianyu more. Yu’er was not bad-looking either, so there had to be someone who liked her, right?
Her grandsons were also Yu’er’s cousins! It shouldn’t be difficult to find a good marriage.
“Yes, Xianyu.” Old Madam was more thoughtful than Madam Bai Meng. She said happily, “Not only can you bring your cousin to show her face in front of the matchmakers, moreover, since you had grown up in the capital and know many Madams of the various Manors, you can also bring Yu’er around more. This way, the two of you can find a good husband. I’ll be satisfied.”
So that was what she was planning.
However, they had thought everything too simply. Grandmother was also from a peasant family and did not have much education. She might not understand that a marriage proposal in the capital was not something that could be sealed with money and reputation like in a small place.
What was more important was power.
Letting Bai Yu’er follow her would only embarrass them even more.
Bai Xianyu looked at everyone’s excited gazes and smiled lightly, “Sure.”
“As long as you guys agree to one condition, I’ll bring her around.. How about that?”
