Bai Wan looked troubled. She frowned deeply and her words were filled with sorrow.

“Xiao Ran, you don’t know about the battle back then. You didn’t see the river of blood and corpses everywhere with your own eyes. There are still many corpses of the soldiers buried deep under the yellow sand. Ninety percent of the nearby tombs are empty tombs without corpses.”

“Tens of thousands of Bai soldiers lost their lives in that battle, but now, not even their bones are left. The instigator of all this is your grandfather, the former Emperor of Wu’an. Such hatred is not so easy to resolve.” “Mother doesn’t want you to go through all this. Do you understand?” Yun Ran could feel the anxiety and uneasiness in Bai Wan’s heart.

She placed his hand on the back of Bai Wan’s hand and patted it gently. Her eyes were firm and there was no trace of panic.

“Mother, why do you think the commoners and soldiers of the East Continent value the Bai family so much and respect my grandfather and uncles? Is it because of the Bai family’s status?”

Bai Wan looked at her in a daze. For a moment, she could not understand what she meant. “Of course not. It’s because your maternal grandfather and uncles have always been protecting the East Continent for the sake of the people.”

Yun Ran asked again, “After that, the wretched emperor plotted to frame the Bai family. The Bai family’s nine families were destroyed, and the other clansmen were exiled. How many people believed in the Bai family? They risked their lives to overturn the case for the Bai family? How many of the ministers in the court spoke up for the Bai family?”

Bai Wan explained, “Those spies of the Bai family are hiding in the army. Your grandfather instructed them not to do anything for the Bai family if anything happens to them. They only need to protect the people of the East Continent.

As for the ministers in the imperial court…”

Bai Wan paused and continued, “I don’t think they want to cause trouble.”

In other words, many people had been waiting for something to happen to the Bai family for a long time. How could they help? For example, the pretentious

Yun Zhiyuan back then!

Yun Ran said, “Then how many people in the East Continent who my grandfather wanted to set up and protect before his death really believed that the Bai family was wronged after what happened to them?”

Bai Wan recalled the time when she had gone to the battlefield to look for her father and brother after learning that something had happened to them. The gazes of the commoners were filled with hatred for the Bai family for betraying the East Continent and causing their families to be destroyed and homeless.

Along the way, what Bai Wan heard the most was that the traitors of the Bai family deserved it! They deserved to die! It was retribution!

When Bai Wan heard those words, she felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart and she could not breathe.

Even when she thought about it now, her eyes could not help but turn red.

“They’re ignorant!”

Yun Ran nodded. “That’s right. They’re indeed ignorant. Simply put, most people only see the right and wrong of a problem through the surface of one thing.”

The Bai family was like a god to many people. When the gods protected them, the commoners would believe in the gods.

However, when the gods made them lose something, they would immediately turn to hatred!

This was also the reason why the wretched emperor wanted to use this move to deal with the Bai family.

He knew that this was the only way to completely destroy the people’s faith in the Bai family.

Bai Wan had been smart since she was young, so she naturally understood what Yunran meant.

“Xiao Ran, are you trying to persuade me not to care about what these people think?”
