Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 23 23. Making trouble

"Father's words are serious. It is his son who is not qualified for the big responsibility and needs more experience."

Having said that, he was not polite in his attack, and immediately ate Bai Xiang's son.

Bai Xiang's old eyes finally revealed a hint of inquiry, and he could no longer see through his son's thoughts.

Looking at his calm expression, he seemed not to be blinded by wealth, which was a good thing, but behind his back, he was a little unsure whether it was really what he looked like on the surface.

The Bai family has no heirs, and the three sons are not likely to achieve great things.

The boss is mediocre in talent, but he also likes to know his destiny. He doesn't want to compete to be an academician of the Hanlin Academy, so he can live a stable life.

The fourth child had the temperament of an idle cloud and wild crane, and he married the princess, so his official career was completely ruined. However, it was a blessing to have a foothold in the academy and the opportunity to use his talents and knowledge.

Only the third child, who has a deep mind and has been working as an official for many years, was originally designated as an excellent person by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but he abruptly changed it to a middle grade.

Not surprisingly, he will still take over the original position.

When people outside looked at him, they said it was because they didn't like him because of his status as a concubine, so they deliberately suppressed him.

But only Xiang Bai knew in his heart that climbing to a high position with evil intentions would only bring harm to the court and the people.

Maybe it can also destroy the situation that the Bai family has finally earned today.

So, he was worried.

In the officialdom of swords, guns, swords and halberds, only those who can see clearly through the fog and distinguish right from wrong can fight their way out.

Obviously, Bai Sanlang is not such a person.

The chess game was a fierce fight, both of them were quick to decide, and a game of chess would be over if only two sticks of incense were reached.

This time, Bai Chaoke narrowly succeeded, and a rare smile appeared on his serious face.

"Father agreed."

"Well, my chess skills have improved. Let's go and go back to Qiongzhou after the New Year. The climate in Dongdu City is not very good, and Qiongzhou should be more supportive of people."

One sentence made Bai Chaoke's heart freeze.

He pinched his palm hard with his fingers to prevent himself from losing his composure in public. He respectfully said yes to Mr. Bai before leaving.

Seeing his hasty steps as he left, Bai Xiang frowned, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

After accompanying my aunt to see off the female guests one by one, it was getting late.

The eldest brother Feng Jinxu had important things to do and left early, so the brother and sister only went back home after paying their respects to Mrs. Bai and Prime Minister Bai.

After a day of hard work, when she returned to Ning'an Courtyard, Feng Jinyao felt as if her whole body was falling apart.

Fortunately, Hydrangea is a discerning person and arranged a bath immediately.

The bucket was filled with flower petals from early summer, and oil to soothe the meridians was put in the water. Hydrangea and cloud catkins were waiting beside it.

Feng Jinyao closed her eyes, thinking about how the Feng family would go in the future.

In the previous life, after my grandmother's birthday party, the Feng family lived in peace for a few days, but what followed was like a nightmare.

After thinking about it, I think the problem lies in performance appraisal.

Both my father and my eldest brother were sent out to serve as officials because of their excellent performance in the examination. Both of them also worked in other places.

If the release was sabotaged, would it be possible to avoid this disaster?

Looking back on her previous life, the imperial edict was issued in mid-April, so she still had time to plan carefully.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a girl coming from outside crying and complaining.

It was said that the aunt in the eldest brother's room had made a fuss and was clamoring for a hanging beam. The eldest lady had no idea at the moment and did not dare to disturb the master and his wife, so she begged her to go and have a look.

"That Aunt Linlang is really annoying. She makes trouble day and night just because she has given birth to a brother. It's because grandma has a good temper that she lets her take control of it like this. What do you think, Miss, do you want to go there?"

Xiangqiu is an outspoken person, and the thing she hates most is being a slave and bullying her master, so her words are full of dissatisfaction with the aunt.

Yun Xu interrupted her, "She is the aunt and you are the girl. Pay attention to your identity. Don't say the wrong thing and let others take advantage of it. Do you understand?"

Xiangqiu was angry, but she also knew that Yunxu was doing it for her own good, so she kept her mouth shut, but her eyes were full of displeasure.

"Let's go and see our precious aunt."

Feng Jinyao opened her eyes and looked outside, signaling the two of them to wait for her to get up.

The heat made her cheeks turn red, but her eyes were clear.

What a troublesome aunt, she wanted to see who gave her such a big face that even her sister-in-law dared to bully her like this!

It’s cold on the road late at night in winter.

Feng Jinyao, not wearing any pink or pink, but wearing a large cloak, walked towards her eldest brother's courtyard.

Hydrangea and cloud catkins held up lamps on the left and right to illuminate the path under her feet.

The girl who came to deliver the message was called Yue Gui. She was the second-class maid in the sister-in-law's room. She seemed to be very honest and well-behaved.

"Do you know what my aunt is causing trouble?"

The little girl looked embarrassed. The servant did not dare to arrange the master at will. Even if the other party was just an aunt, she was not someone she could comment on. So she chose some words that were not excessive and tried to reply to Feng Jinyao as calmly as possible.

"The eldest young master sent a set of fine pens, inks, paper and inkstones. He said they were a gift for the eldest brother to enter school. My aunt happened to see them, so..."

"So she is making a fuss and wants to send her son to school, right?"

Feng Jinyao answered and asked, without a trace of emotion in her tone.

Yue Gui nodded, her face full of solemnity.

She did not dare to say many unpleasant things to others, for fear that others would find out and say that their wives were weak and could be bullied.

Humph, he is indeed restless.

In the last life, her son assumed the identity of the legitimate son and entered the academy, causing a lot of trouble and causing his father and eldest brother to be impeached.

It would be fine if her second nephew was a well-behaved and sensible person, but unfortunately he was spoiled by his aunt and became lawless and disobedient to discipline.

Today she wanted to see if she was still as hateful as before.

If this is the case, then his way of entering school must be completely cut off.

While I was thinking, I saw a group of people coming into the yard.

Sure enough, Aunt Linlang's crying sounds could be heard intermittently.

Feng Jinyao pushed open the door and saw this noisy scene.

Sister-in-law Wen Shi fell down on the huanghuali wood armchair, wiping her tears with the handkerchief in her hand. The girl next to her was patting her on the back and looking clean.

Standing next to her was her eldest brother's eldest son, Feng Yunhe.

She is fair, tender and beautiful, and her small facial features reveal an aura of unwillingness to admit defeat.

He is just a six-year-old child, but at this moment he is standing with his hands behind his hands like a little adult, looking at his aunt and concubine who are rolling on the ground and crying, with a solemn expression and dark eyes.

On the contrary, Aunt Linlang was kneeling on the ground. Not only was she dressed in fancy clothes, but her son next to her was also well-fed and fat.

He is obviously two years younger than Feng Yunhe, but he is slightly taller.

At this moment, the chubby little face of the concubine Feng Yunli was full of disgust, and she shouted at her sister-in-law Wen Shi.
