"Please forgive me, my dear! Men are not allowed to enter my aunt's yard without permission. Even you, my dear, should avoid suspicion."
"Go away."
The old woman swallowed fearfully, but still stood in front of the door motionless. "My dear, this is the rule of the mansion. I am just following orders. I hope you won't embarrass me."
"I'll say it again, get out of here."
"Please, Mr. Dalang..."
With a bang, Bai Ze kicked the old woman to the ground before she could finish her words.
Another woman immediately shouted, "Come... someone come!"
As the old woman's voice fell, two men quickly ran out of the yard.
One of the men said, "Please go back, Mr. Dalang."
These two men are Old Master Bai's personal attendants, which means that Old Master Bai is inside now.
"So my father is here."
The attendant repeated expressionlessly, "Please go back, Mr. Dalang."
"What if I must go in?"
The attendant's face turned serious, and he clasped his fists and said, "Then I have no choice but to offend you."
Bai Ze glanced sideways at his followers, and the next second, the followers of the father and son started fighting.
Jiang Yueyang subconsciously opened his mouth wide, [Are you going to start a fight just because of a disagreement? Little Melon, whose people do you think are more powerful?]
system:【……】
Bai Ze walked in, and Jiang Yueyang followed closely behind.
One of Old Master Bai's two followers broke free and rushed over to stop them, and Guyu stepped forward to block Jiang Yueyang.
The follower attacked Guyu without any explanation, and Jiang Yueyang frowned in displeasure.
Guyu used the hilt of the sword to block, but the follower pulled out the dagger from his waist after two moves.
A silver light flashed, and Jiang Yueyang called out in a cold voice, "Guyu."
Guyu's eyes moved, and he changed from resistance to attack, quickly subduing the follower to the ground.
Jiang Yueyang slowly walked to the side of the follower who was stepped on by Guyu, and looked down at him condescendingly, "I'm just looking around in the yard, it will be over soon, I hope you won't stop me."
At this time, another follower of Old Master Bai found an opportunity and rushed over.
Guyu reacted quickly, drawing the sword in his hand and pointing it at the follower rushing towards him.
After Jiang Yueyang finished speaking, she looked around and, following the system's guidance, she walked to a patch of grass and pulled out a blade of grass.
She walked back to Bai Ze with the grass in her hand. "Master Bai, this grass is called 'Ember Star Grass' and it has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis."
Bai Ze took the grass, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Master Xiao Jiang, may I borrow your name?"
Jiang Yueyang didn't know what he was going to do. After a slight hesitation, she nodded.
After receiving the consent, Bai Ze shouted to the house in front: "Father, Aunt Tao, Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived. Please come out to meet her."
Inside, Old Master Bai paced back and forth, constantly cursing Bai Ze as a bastard and a rebellious son!
He didn't want to see Jiang Yueyang and didn't want to be the focus of attention.
When Aunt Tao learned that Jiang Yueyang was coming, she found an excuse to call Old Master Bai to her yard, hoping to avoid meeting Jiang Yueyang, but she failed to stop him.
At this moment, she was extremely scared, afraid that what she had done would be revealed by Jiang Yueyang's inner voice.
Seeing that no one came out, Bai Ze spoke again: "Father, those two blind men beside you just attacked Her Royal Highness. That's extremely disrespectful! Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"
Jiang Yueyang glanced at Bai Ze, "Xiaogua, do you think there's a grudge between the father and son?"
【Looking at the situation, it seems a little bit.】
At this moment, a man who looked to be in his forties walked out of the house.
The man bowed to Jiang Yueyang and said, "This humble servant greets Princess Yongle. May your highness be in good health."
Jiang Yueyang raised an eyebrow, [Xiaogua, is he also an official appointed by the court?]
[Yes, he is a seventh-rank editor in the Hanlin Academy.]
Following the system's voice, Jiang Yueyang gently raised her hand and said, "No need to be polite."
Bai Ze snorted coldly, "Madam Tao is so arrogant that she didn't even come out to meet the princess when she came."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Bai cursed Bai Ze inwardly, then explained, "Mrs. Tao is not feeling well and cannot come out to meet you. I hope Your Highness the Princess will forgive me."
"Is it inconvenient to come out, or are you afraid?" Bai Ze asked.
Old Master Bai lowered his voice and shouted angrily, "Rebellious son, stop talking nonsense!"
"Father!" Bai Ze raised the grass in his hand, "The princess just said that the grass in Aunt Tao's courtyard can promote blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis."
After these words were spoken, Old Master Bai suddenly stopped.
Bai Ze tightly grasped the "Ember Star Grass" in his hand and gritted his teeth, "Father, you should know what your son is talking about, right?"
Old Master Bai turned around and walked into the house. Soon, angry shouts were heard from inside.
"Tao, come out here."
Hearing this, Bai Ze turned his head to look at Jiang Yueyang, and twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, "Your Highness, you must be tired of standing. Please come in."
Jiang Yueyang hesitated, "Master Bai, that's your family affair. I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for me to be there."
"No problem, Your Highness."
Since the host said so, Jiang Yueyang, who wanted to hear gossip, no longer refused and walked inside.
As soon as she entered, she saw a beautiful woman with a pale face standing in front of Old Master Bai.
Old Master Bai asked sternly, "Tell me, were you responsible for Dalang's wife's frequent bleeding?"
"Master, I am innocent!" Aunt Tao cried out for justice.
Bai Ze slowly led Jiang Yueyang to a stool and poured her a cup of tea.
Jiang Yueyang politely picked it up and took a sip, watching the scene in front of her with interest.
Old Master Bai stared at Aunt Tao coldly, "Unjustly accused? Then how do you explain this blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing herb?"
"I don't know what kind of herb is used to invigorate blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis."
"Don't know?" Bai Ze walked towards the two of them, a bloodthirsty smile on his face. "My wife has had unexplained spotting several times. You're the only one in the whole mansion who has herbs that can invigorate blood circulation and dissolve blood stasis. How could you say you don't know?"
Aunt Tao knelt on the ground and said, "Master, I really didn't know there was that kind of grass in my yard.
You know, I have never been to Wutong Courtyard since that incident. Even if I wanted to harm anyone, I wouldn't have the chance."
Bai Ze sneered, "Just because you haven't been there, you can't harm others?"
"Are you trying to pin the blame on me, my dear Lord?"
"I'll put the blame on you?" Bai Ze sneered and then turned his face black. "You can just bribe the people at Wutong Courtyard!"
"Master, the servants of Wutong Court are all carefully selected by the eldest son. How can I bribe the eldest son's people?"
After hearing this, Old Master Bai was confused.
The servants in Wutong Courtyard were loyal to his son. Even if he wanted to bribe the servants there with money, he couldn't do it, let alone Tao.
This statement doesn't make sense.
Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but be curious, "Little melon, why did that old woman who boiled the water help Aunt Tao to harm Madam Bai?"
