Chapter 19: Never Stop Until Making a Mess (i)

“No matter how you were treated by your auntie and sister, they are your family members. Do you want to really treat them in this way? If the scandal spreads further, how do people think about you?” Upon hearing what Bai Aoxue said, Bai Qiwei threw off his haughty airs. He put on a gentle expression, attempting to persuade Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue retorted in a mocking tone: “My family members? You are wrong, father! My relatives are in General Weiyuan’s mansion. My mom died a long time ago, and my uncle, who is my mom’s elder brother, is of course my dear relative!”

After casting a stare at Su Qianqian, Bai Aoxue said: “I don’t like Auntie Su and Suxue to be my relatives. I can’t afford it and they don’t deserve it. I heard that my uncle is going to return from the border garrison soon. It seems that my uncle doesn’t know I will marry the 5th prince. I think it’s necessary for father to explain the matter to him.”

Bai Aoxue had a warm feeling whenever she thought of her uncle, the well-known General Weiyuan, Ye Zhaojue.

When Bai Aoxue’s mother married the prime minister, Ye Zhaojue was a lieutenant. As a battle-hardened warrior, he was greatly appreciated by the emperor of Chengxi Dynasty because of his heroic acts in many major battles.

To tell its own tale, Ye Zhaojue was now commanding a powerful military force, while Bai Qiwei commanding those scholars.

Ye Zhaojue wanted to take her to his family, but she refused.

She was reluctant to leave the house where her deceased mother once lived, and furthermore she wanted to have love from her father, but she got none before she died.

The other people were amazed once more when hearing what Bai Aoxue said. Yes, they forgot that Bai Aoxue had a great backup, the one could compete with the prime minister.

Since Bai Aoxue silently endured her sufferings in these years, they seemed to forget that Bai Aoxue had an uncle, Ye Zhaojue, a stately man who loved the girl so much.

Bai Qiwei was also taken aback who knew what Bai Aoxue really meant. If Ye Zhaojue returned, Bai Aoxue would make a complaint to him, and because of his irritable personality, he would say something bad about me before the Emperor. That would land me in trouble.

After having a brain storm, Bai Qiwei quickly made a decision. “Aoxue, I know this is the fault of your auntie today. Tell me what I have to do before you let your auntie go.”

Bai Aoxue didn’t want to argue with Bai Qiwei anymore over what he implied.

After casting another stare at Su Qianqian who still sat on the ground, Bai Aoxue said: “As I said just now, it will be OK when Auntie Su finishes off all the bird’s nest soup on the table. Since Auntie Su and my sister are still delaying the time, I have no alternative but to add another condition, which is to say Auntie Su abstains from meat and recites Buddhist scriptures on behalf of my deceased mother for one month, and my sister should make an apology to me. It’s not too much, is it?”

It was a question, but she said it firmly. Bai Qiwei had no choice but to admit her.

It didn’t mean that Bai Suxue would accept it even if Bai Qiwei did. She yelled after hearing what Bai Aoxue said: “I don’t want to make an apology to the bitch, father. Why should I? She doesn’t deserve it!”

Bai Aoxue put on a cold smile. She knew that Bai Suxue wouldn’t readily accept the offer.

No matter what Bai Qiwei said, she wouldn’t easily let Su Qianqian and her daughter go today.

Bai Qiwei knew Bai Aoxue was angry with him. It was best to make a compromise with her. Everything would be OK if she married the 5th prince.

Ye Zhaojue would think about it even if he wanted to challenge him. Scarcely before Bai Qiwei said “yes” to the condition, Bai Suxue yelled.

“My sister doesn’t accept the condition, father! It’s merely an apology. It seems that you haven’t taught her properly. She, as a daughter of a concubine, doesn’t respect the child of your official wife. I’ll teach her a lesson on your behalf, father!” Looking at Bai Suxue who was in hysterics, Bai Aoxue slowly walked over to her with a mocking expression.

Bai Qiwei also thought that Bai Suxue was a bit impulsive today. It was no big deal to make an apology, but now it was a different story.

Bai Qiwei, who was still in an annoyed mood, remained silent before the rantings by Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue moved over to Bai Suxue. She said: “Since father loves you, do you think you can be domineering before anybody? Don’t forget that as I live, auntie Su wouldn’t assume the position of legal wife. And you will forever live as the daughter of a concubine.”

Bai Suxue was furious because she would never accept the fact that she was the daughter of a concubine.

No matter how diligent she was, Bai Suxue always felt inferior before Bai Aoxue because the mother of her elder sister was from a powerful family.

Although Bai Qiwei loved Bai Suxue and her mother, he would never let her mother assume the position of legal wife, and therefore, she had to take the advantage of another more powerful force to rise above Bai Aoxue. She thought that the emperor chose his queen by appearance and status. She gradually wanted to kill Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue was more beautiful than me. It was impossible for me to be the queen of the Emperor. I would have an opportunity if Bai Aoxue was dead. Thinking of that, Bai Suxue pushed the weak Bai Aoxue into the pond.

It gave Bai Aoxue a rebirth and was incarnated into a strong soul.

“You the damned, I’ll kill you today, Bai Aoxue!!” Furious at what Bai Aoxue said, Bai Suxue showed her intention to kill and pounced upon Bai Aoxue, with the eyes burning with hatred.
