…

In the past, they had thought that Bai Yan could not accept her mother’s passing and therefore did so. From her words today, it seemed that it was actually because there was some hidden reasons?

“Don’t listen to her nonsense!” Bai Zhi did not bother to put on her pretense as she crossed her arms by her waist and said angrily. “To think that I kindly tried to protect her and she actually accuses my mother instead. Really, kindness does not beget kindness. It’s no wonder she would do such shameful things!”

She maliciously glared at the direction in which Bai Yan left and ruthlessly clenched her fist.

‘So what if you came back? My second sister is the crown princess consort. The crown prince loves and pampers her to the extreme and this place no longer has a place for you!’

***

Bai Yan’s return was not intentionally covered up. Instead, she was high-profile in letting everyone know that she had returned!

Bai Zhenxiang was also startled. He urgently rushed back from the outside and immediately called for a clan meeting the moment he got back and also sent people to call Bai Yan over.

However, from the beginning to the end, that stunning figure did not appear. Only until Bai Zhenxiang was about to lose his patience did the girl in red slowly made her way without a care about being late. 1

Under the sunlight from outside the door, the girl’s looks were beautiful enough to topple a city. Her red robe was extremely outstanding. Compared to the skinny figure six years ago, at this moment, her figure was fuller and her hair fell behind her, displaying her snow white jade-like neck in contrast.

Yu Rong, who was sitting by Bai Zhenxiang’s side, tightly clenched her fist. Her heart was full of jealousy and it felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles, and it felt unbearable.

She had given birth to two daughters, but none of their looks was comparable to this despicable person’s! Good thing the heavens was still fair, giving her such peerless looks while at the same time giving her the constitution of a trash!

If it were not the case, Ruo’er would not have had a way to substitute her to become a person of the royal family.

“Yan’er, you’ve returned?” No matter what Yu Rong was thinking about in her heart, there was not a trace of her emotions displayed on her face. She carried that pretentious smile and said, “It’s great that you are back. All these years, your father has worried quite a bit about you. Quickly acknowledge your wrongdoings before him, he’ll forgive you.”

“Rong’er, you don’t need to speak on behalf of this rebellious daughter!” Bai Zhenxiang’s expression darkened as he shouted loudly. “Bai Yan, kneel immediately!”

‘Kneel?’

Bai Yan sneered. Even when she was acknowledging her masters, the three masters of hers were not willing to let her kneel. What rights did this Bai Zhenxiang had to ask this of her?

“I was not wrong. There is no need to admit to my wrongdoings!”

She came to the Bai family merely to meet Bai Xiao. As for the other people, besides her vengeance and hatred, there were no other remaining feelings.

“Presumptuous!” Bai Zhenxiang yelled angrily as he slammed the table and stood up with an expression full of pain. “Do you know how much shame you brought to the Bai family because of what you had done back then? If it were not for Rong’er constantly speaking out on your behalf, I would have long cut you off the family registrar!”

“Clan head, don’t speak anymore.” Yu Rong immediately tugged at Bai Zhenxiang’s sleeve with an aggrieved expression. “I am, after all, her step mother. No matter what I do, it will not be interpreted well. Instead it would complained as me being too much of a busybody.”

Bai Zhenxiang was obviously still in the midst of his rage as he immediately flung Yu Rong’s hand away. “She does not even admit her faults, why are you still speaking up for her? Bai Yan, do you know that because you eloped, your maternal grandmother was angered till she fainted? Your mother had also almost cried out of anger! As for you, you’re still such an ingrate! I, Bai Zhenxiang really raised a white-eyed wolf. From today onwards, the Bai family registrar will no longer have you!”

Bai Yan’s laughter was very low and deep. “Not sure if you mean my maternal grandmother in the Lan family? Or do you mean the one in front me? If you’re talking about the one before me, I really wonder when she had become my maternal grandmother? As for my mother, she has long been dead!”
