Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Things Went Smoothly

"Your Majesty, this humble servant wants to cut ties with those people who living in the current General Residence now." Bai Xiang repeated the same wish.

"General Bai, are you serious about that? Do you know filial piety or not?" Emperor Liu Man shouted.

Not only the emperor, but even all the ministers were shocked to hear Bai Xiang’s wish. Cutting ties meant he would be unfillial to his parent.

"General Bai, what are you saying?" Emperor Liu Man said.

Emperor Liu Man thought Bai Xiang was joking.

"Your Majesty, I am saying that I want to cut ties with the people." Bai Xiang stated his wish once again.

"General Bai, they are your family!" Emperor Liu Man smacked the table in front of him.

All of the ministers quickly bowed down and asked the emperor to calm down.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The prime minister, Miao An Gang kowtowed.

Other ministers followed him asking the emperor to calm down. Only Bai Xiang stood up looking at the emperor without having thought of saying anything else. His wish was still wanting to cut ties with those people.

The emperor eventually calmed down after he heard the pleading from his ministers.

"General Bai, can you please tell Us why you want to cut ties with them?" Emperor Liu Man asked after calming down.

"Those people torture my daughter. Is that reason enough?" Bai Xiang said.

Emperor Liu Man heard this matter and gulped his saliva. Bai Xiang found out about what had happened to his daughter.

"I went to the border to protect our country from the enemy. But my family torture my daughter. Calling her trash, good for nothing, and many kinds of bad names. They even dare to beat her up."

Emperor Liu Man felt the cold sweat running down on his back. He felt that Bai Xiang also wanted to pry about the matter where he broke the engagement between the crown prince and his daughter.

Bai Xiang narrowed his eyes while looking at the emperor. "Not to mention, Your Majesty, you also broke the engagement between my daughter with His Highness the Crown Prince."

It’s coming. The emperor could not say anything.

"When my daughter was born, Your Majesty, you quickly wrote a royal decree telling his family that the newborn baby girl could be to your son, His Highness the Crown Prince." Bai Xiang added. "And now, Your Majesty sent another man to be engaged with my daughter."

"Well... " The emperor Liu Man wanted to say something but Bai Xiang stopped him.

"Your Majesty, I really want to cut ties to the Bai’s family." Bai Xiang stated his wish again.

Emperor Liu Man knew that Bai Xiang would not leave until he agreed with Bai Xiang’s wish.

"I allow it." The emperor gave up.

"Oh, since I am cutting ties with them, the residence can have the residence. I don’t care about that. However, they should not use the wooden plate which stated, ’General Bai Residence’. They did not have any General." Bai Xiang said.

"Sure... Sure." Emperor Liu Man said

It was ironic. They thought Bai Xiang could not return again. However, the reality hurt.

"I hope Your Majesty can write that in the royal decree." Bai Xiang said.

Emperor Liu Man could not help to write the royal decree. After pestering the emperor and getting what he wanted, Bai Xiang excused himself, wanting to leave the Palace.

"Wait a moment." Emperor Liu Man stopped Bai Xiang.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bai Xiang waited for Emporer Liu Man to talk.

"We would like to celebrate the victory. The banquet will be held 2 days later. You have to attend." Emperor Liu Man stated.

"Is it okay if I bring my children too?" Bai Xiang asked.

"Of course." Emperor Liu Man nodded.

"Then, I will attend." Liu Man nodded.

After that, Liu Man saluted Emperor Liu Man and left the Palace.

"Fuh, he finally leaves."

"I can feel the pressure coming out of his body."

"He is angry about his daughter."

"How does he know about Bai Xifeng?"

"He might have a spy telling him everything that he wants to know."

"If he knew that his daughter went missing, I don’t think he would be this calm."

"Yeah, he probably does not know that his daughter went missing."

"I wonder what will happen when he knows about that.

"Stop talking and pay attention to Us." Emporer Liu Man said.

Everyone went silent and looked at Emperor Liu Man.

"As you can hear just now, We will hold a banquet to celebrate the return of General Bai. The first-rank officers to the fourth-rank officers could attend the banquet. You can also invite your family too." Emperor Liu Man said.

Bai Xiang went to the inn first to meet with his children. He could see that Bai Xifeng was eating something while being accompanied by Bai Tingfeng and Liu Longwei.

"Father." Bai Tingfeng was the one who noticed Bai Xiang first.

"Hmm..." Bai Xiang nodded.

"What’s about the meeting with the emperor? Are things going smoothly?" Bai Tingfeng asked.

"Hmm... Everything went smoothly." Bai Xiang nodded.

"So, shall we move to the next step?" Bai Tingfeng asked again.

"Hmm... Sure." Bai Xiang nodded again.

Seeing her father and brother were talking in rhythm, Bai Xifeng glanced at both of them. Well, she did not want to tire her mind, so, she did not bother to ask.
