Chapter 1599: Gu Yundong Is Not Worthy of Shao QingyuanEditor: Henyee Translations
Seeing his father and brother lying on the table, Bai Hang did not know whether to laugh or cry. He got someone to send them back to his courtyard.
First Madam followed behind Uncle Bai. After the servants helped him into the room and left, she took a handkerchief and wiped Uncle Bai’s face carefully.
Uncle Bai’s face turned red and he felt a little dizzy, but he was in a good mood. "I’m really too happy."
"Even if you’re happy, you can’t drink like this. You’re already so old, yet you don’t know how to control yourself."
Uncle Bai waved his hand. After First Madam carried his feet onto the bed, he smiled and said, "It’s just this once. It won’t happen again in the future. Didn’t you see how happy Second Brother is? He has suffered for so many years. Now, the hardships have ended. As his elder brother, I have been worried for so long. I can be at ease now."
The First Madam glared at him angrily. "How old is your second brother? He’s even more capable than you. Do you need to worry?"
"You can’t say that. Look at me. Although I’m not as smart as Second Brother, my wife is not sick or in pain. She’s healthy and glowing. My son has grown up, married and had children. He even gave birth to a pair of twins and led a happy life. With such a comparison, Second Brother has suffered too much."
First Madam stopped talking. She placed the handkerchief on the shelf and lay down on the bed.
She opened her eyes and looked at the bed curtains above her head. No one knew what she was thinking.
Beside him, Uncle Bai was already snoring rhythmically with a smile on his face.
The First Madam turned her head and could not help but pinch him.
Uncle Bai woke up with a start and suddenly opened his eyes. Then, he narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that it was a dream. He turned around and continued.
Unexpectedly, just as he closed his eyes, he heard First Madam’s voice. "Ah Yu has been found, but..."
Upon hearing about Shao Qingyuan, Uncle Bai sobered up a little and asked curiously, "But what?"
"It’s just that he got married too early." The First Madam sighed. "Ah Yu has acknowledged his ancestors and returned to the family. His status is no longer that poor boy from the countryside. Although our Bai family is not an official family, we are still an aristocratic family. Father’s disciples are all over the Dajin Dynasty, and even the imperial court respects him. However, his wife is only... Sigh, what a pity."
Uncle Bai was stunned. "Isn’t Ah Yu’s wife quite good? Didn’t you like her very much previously?"
"I liked her before, but I didn’t know that Qingyuan was Ah Yu. Yundong is a good person, but she’s just a peasant girl from the countryside. It’s still a little low for her to be compatible with Ah Yu. As a descendant of the Bai family, what kind of girl can’t he marry?"
She was the daughter of the prefecture magistrate of the Lingzhou Prefecture, and Shao Yin was the daughter of the Marquis Huaiyin’s mansion in the capital.
This was only a daughter-in-law that the Bai family had married on the basis of keeping a low profile. If the Bai family announced that they wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, even a princess could be married.
As for Gu Yundong, although she was capable, her status was indeed not enough.
However, Uncle Bai waved his hand. "What’s wrong with that? Our Bai family doesn’t care about this. Even Father and Second Brother didn’t say anything. We don’t have to worry."
"But..."
"No buts. No matter how bad Ah Yu’s wife is, just based on the fact that she saved our Bai Yang and Zhiyan, she’s more than enough to be with Ah Yu. I have no objections at all. Don’t go out and talk nonsense and make Ah Yu unhappy."
The First Madam pursed her lips. "Alright, I understand."
