Chapter 1439: Chapter 1440 Mrs. Dou is a Talented Person_1

Lady Dou felt that the Bai Family was on the rise and must worry about bad rumors, but she forgot that the Bai Family was not the type of aristocrats in the Capital too concerned with saving face, and would not be easily controlled by such an incident.

"Madam, I don’t care whose elder you are, but you are certainly not an elder of mine, Bai Zepei, am I right? Now that I am an officer, shouldn’t you show some respect upon seeing me instead of shouting and yelling like this, without the fear of being punished for disrespect?" Bai Zepei suddenly spoke up, "Moreover, there’s no need for messy people to worry about my marriage. I will certainly not marry a daughter from the Dou Family. Please leave."

Jiang Madam felt embarrassed and complained to Lady Dou, "Look at what you have done with your mouth. Can’t you just avoid making trouble? Forget it, I’m done here."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Bai Ruozhu, "Ruozhu, I’ll be going now and come to see you another time."

Jiang Zhihe also made an apologetic bow to Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun. "Big brother, sister-in-law, I’m really sorry."

Jiang Madam then bowed to Lin Ping’er and, taking Jiang Zhihe with her, hurriedly left.

"Mom, I said we shouldn’t have asked our cousin’s mother to go, and you didn’t stop her at all. Look at what she just said; it’s really put big brother in a difficult position, hasn’t it?" Once out of the Bai Residence’s main gate, Jiang Zhihe complained in a soft voice.

Jiang Madam was also angry, "Do you think I want to offend your big brother and sister-in-law? It was your grandpa who agreed to let them do this. Could I possibly go against your grandpa’s wishes?"

She pulled Jiang Zhihe onto the horse carriage and immediately ordered the driver to leave, not waiting for Lady Dou and her daughter.

Jiang Zhihe originally wanted to remind her, but felt so much disdain for Lady Dou that she thought to let them walk back on their own.

Lady Dou hadn’t expected Bai Zepei to speak such words and, flushed with anger, her face turned white and red alternately. Pointing at Bai Zepei, she said, "And who do you think you are? My daughter wouldn’t even look at you. Just because you became the runner-up in the examination, you think you’re great? Why didn’t you aim to be the Champion? You really can’t judge a dog by its appearance!"

"Get out!" Yichun burst out in a thunderous shout, startling everyone in the room.

He had always been respectful and polite in the Bai Family, and even if he was a bit colder, he had never lost his temper like this, or even raised his voice. Luckily, everyone knew that Yichun was targeting Lady Dou and was defending the Bai Family.

"How, how can you speak to me like this? I am your cousin’s mother, is this how you treat an elder?" Lady Dou was the epitome of shamelessness. Any other woman would have left in humiliation after being treated this way, but she was still shamelessly insisting on staying.

"If Elder Jiang Ge dared to say such things here, I would tell him the same, to get out. Who do you think you are?" Yichun’s face was so cold it could almost freeze, "If you won’t leave, that’s fine. Muyu, throw them out!"

Dou Yun was already crying her eyes out, tugging at her mother’s sleeve and sobbing, "Mom, let’s just go, please don’t cause any more trouble."

Embarrassed and angry, Lady Dou slapped Dou Yun across the face, "You fool, what do you mean by causing trouble? They must apologize to me; otherwise, I’ll make sure everyone in the Capital knows the true face of the Bai Family!"

Jiang Yichun was out of patience and made a secret signal to Muyu, who felt bitter inside, thinking why it always had to be him.

Biting the bullet, he walked into the room, grabbed Lady Dou, and started dragging her out. Dou Yun, who was so scared that she forgot to cry, urgently said to Jiang Yichun, "Big brother, please don’t hurt my mom. I’ll apologize on her behalf. Her temper is just like that, please don’t take it to heart."

Dou Yun cried even harder. Lin Ping’er, who tended to be sympathetic, felt sorry for the girl and said to Yichun, "Yichun, just let her leave, after all, we’re family."

Jiang Yichun hummed in acknowledgment, then instructed the morning breeze, "Send Miss Dou back home."

The morning breeze gestured for Dou Yun to follow, and Dou Yun left, sobbing and blubbering along with the morning breeze.

A hint of mockery flashed in Bai Ruozhu’s eyes as she said, "Another, playing the role of the innocent Bai Lianhua. Mother, please don’t just go pitying these kinds of people."

"Ah?" Lin Ping’er was somewhat puzzled. Even though Mrs. Dou was not pleasant, this Dou Yun was also a poor girl dragged down by her own mother.

"If she really were a good girl, she would have stopped her mother from speaking further from the start. In the end, she still harbored delusions. Just now, Ahchun said to send Miss Dou back, not even mentioning her mother, and she didn’t seem to be in a hurry either. Earlier, she begged Ahchun not to hurt her mother, which clearly was only to craft an image for herself," Bai Ruozhu said with a laugh. Her impression of Dou Yun hadn’t been very good to begin with, and today had only made it clearer.

"Let’s just not associate with them in the future, I wouldn’t dare to marry such a person into our family as a daughter-in-law," Lin Ping’er said, pursing her lips in disdain.

What was meant to be a peaceful meal had been disrupted by the unexpected arrival of people from the Jiang Family. With the practice of the Heart Method still on her mind, Bai Ruozhu stood up and said she was going back to the yard. Everyone knew she had urgent matters, so they didn’t hold her back but simply instructed her not to wear herself out.

As the two of them, accompanied by Little Dengdeng, walked toward the small courtyard, they saw a gatekeeper running hurriedly towards the main courtyard. Bai Ruozhu stopped him to ask what was happening.

"To answer Miss, that Mrs. Dou is refusing to leave the main gate, wailing and howling like an opera performance, smearing the Residence’s reputation. There have already gathered quite a crowd of onlookers," the gatekeeper replied.

Jiang Yichun’s face darkened. "What is Muyu doing? Didn’t I ask him to throw them out?"

"Young master shouldn’t blame the guard Muyu. He did throw the people far away, and Mrs. Dou seemed to be leaving, but who would have thought she was just pretending, then turned around and came back, while all the while calling more onlookers to the gate," the gatekeeper’s servant explained.

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh, "Mrs. Dou is quite talented indeed. Never mind, I’ll go take a look. After all, with onlookers present, the Residence’s guards can’t really take action."

Jiang Yichun showed a look of embarrassment, "You’re already pressed for time, I’ll go; this is also a result of something the Jiang Family stirred up."

"Come on, what use are you there with that group of old women throwing tantrums? Are you going to personally throw her back to the Jiang Residence? I’m sure by tomorrow morning there will be an officer presenting a memorial to impeach you for striking an elder," Bai Ruozhu said, patting his shoulder with a laugh. "You take Dengdeng back to the yard for a nap first. Don’t let the child see this kind of scene; it might set a bad example for him."

Little Dengdeng, hearing this, puffed out his cheeks and said, "I won’t throw tantrums; Little Dengdeng is a good child."

Bai Ruozhu chuckled and tapped his little nose, "Then the good child should go have an afternoon nap with daddy, okay?"

"Okay, mommy, you come quickly too," Little Dengdeng said, tilting his little face upwards.

"Alright, mommy will come back once you’ve fallen asleep," Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

"You have to go through so much trouble again," Jiang Yichun sighed softly, taking Little Dengdeng by the hand and walking towards the yard.

Bai Ruozhu shook her head with a smile. Because she hadn’t yet mastered the Heart Method, she felt an unresolved anger inside her. Narrowing her eyes, she thought to herself, I’ll let you play the demon, and this time, you’ll have your fill!
