Chapter 1685 To Save or Not to Save
Seeing the four ladies sitting around, Bai Yunying softened her expression slightly, but her tone was still cold and cool: "Cousin, if you have anything you haven't finished just now, you can continue talking now."
Bai Jun looked stern and pouted, but finally suppressed it.
Bai Yunying snorted coldly and said: "I can't tell you? Are you still lucky about that deep house? Huh, it's not your fault. Although I came from a different family, you have always listened to the orders of your elders since you were a child. Brother, how can you say something bad about your family in front of so many people? If you are so obedient, why do you still marry several cousins-in-law? Don’t you know the attitude of the family elders towards people from outside the clan? Aren’t you afraid of a few of them? Will this cousin be tortured to death?"
Her chest was rising and falling, her expression was excited and indignant, and at the end, she added angrily: "Cowardly and ruthless, can you deserve the deep love and righteousness of your cousins for you!"
Bai Jun's face turned red, like a ripe persimmon.
"Cousin!" The cousin sitting in the middle suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice, "What you said is too much!"
"Excessive?" Bai Yunying was dissatisfied and said: "Cousin-in-law, you married your cousin the earliest time, so you don't know the attitude of your family towards you, right?"
After hearing this, the cousin sister-in-law calmed down slightly and sighed softly, saying: "Of course I know the attitude of my family towards me. I also keep in mind the friendship that my cousin has always protected my cousin-in-law. It's just that this For once, you really blamed your cousin wrongly."
Bai Yunying's mood calmed down a little, but confusion suddenly appeared on her face. She frowned and said, "Cousin, I don't understand. Please explain more clearly."
The cousin looked at Bai Jun affectionately and said with some guilt: "Your cousin was kicked out of the family for the four of us."
As soon as these words came out, Bai Yunying was stunned.
Later, the cousin told the whole story in detail.
After we listened, it suddenly dawned on us that there was still such a twist.
Bai Yunying's family can be said to be a wealthy family among the wealthy families in York and Seoul, with a status second only to the royal family.
There are only a few such super wealthy families in the entire city of York and Seoul.
However, the more wealthy the family, the stricter the family status and the more rules they pay attention to.
York City is a country of xenophobia. As a wealthy family in York City, they will naturally respond to the national conditions and be unanimously xenophobic. The Bai family is a loyal guardian of this rule. At one time, foreigners could only be slaves and could not serve as slaves. family level.
But Bai Jun is a different kind. He is naturally fond of people from other races, but because of his inner cowardice, he behaves well in front of his elders and dare not reveal any true thoughts.
He suffered like this for more than thirty years, and then one day, on his way home with a group of adventurers after wiping out the foreign traitors, he came across a foreign girl who was being flogged. He looked at the girl's weakness and misery. Her delicate body and stubborn and unyielding eyes touched the softest part of his heart. He immediately stopped the flogging and paid for the girl.
Everyone thought that Bai Jun would treat the girl as a slave at most, but unexpectedly, a few months later, he actually married the girl back into his home and became his wife.
A girl from a foreign race became the wife of a descendant of her own race!
This incident was like a pebble thrown into a lake, causing ripples.
However, since Bai Jun was not a clan member, but a descendant of a branch family, the ripples did not last long before they subsided.
In the end, Bai Jun's wife was not recognized by the family. At the same time, Bai Jun's father also issued a statement that unless Bai Jun gave up this woman, he would categorically not recognize Bai Jun as his son.
In the past, according to Bai Jun's temperament, he would surrender within three days.
This time, Bai Jun didn't give in, and of course he didn't resist. Instead, he shouldered this heavy responsibility in obscurity.
Not only that, during the period when Bai Yunying disappeared, he actually took three foreign girls as wives in one go, and all four of them were noble wives!
This time, the patriarch of the Bai family was really angered.
The patriarch's meaning is very clear. You can either drive your four wives out of the house, and you will still be a member of the family and still enjoy all the benefits of the family, or you can take your four wives and leave the Bai family forever. From now on, you will no longer belong to the Bai family. people.
The descendants of the Bai family, who have a transcendent status, are naturally the most powerful and highly respected in York and Seoul. However, once they are expelled from the Bai family, it will be miserable. Not only will they not be able to enjoy the glory of the family, but they will also be insulted and bullied by others. Just like the insults and ridicule I encountered from two gangsters on the road.
If he were still a member of the family, those bastards would probably stay away from him, or they might grovel and say hello to him.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, and there was no sound except the sound of breathing.
A few minutes later, Bai Yunying looked at Bai Jun with complicated eyes, opened her mouth, and said: "Cousin."
Bai Jun waved his hand and said feebly: "Cousin, you are right, I am indeed cowardly and afraid of things, but there are some things that I have to do even if I am afraid, otherwise, I am afraid I won't even be able to be a man."
"You have done a great job in giving up the high house and the rich and honorable life." I said solemnly with a serious face, "It is my happiness for my cousins-in-law to marry men like you. I can have you." I am deeply honored to have such a cousin-in-law.”
After saying that, I bowed slightly to him to show respect.
However, at this moment, there was a burst of noise outside the mansion, and occasionally there was the sound of something breaking.
Bai Jun stood up abruptly, frowned, and said, "Who is it?"
Before he could even take a step, the door was knocked loudly, and a vicious cry was heard: "Bai Jun, come out, His Majesty's decree has arrived. Come out quickly to receive it!"
"Your Majesty!" Bai Jun trembled, fear suddenly appeared on his face. He briefly looked at the four ladies who were also frightened, and suddenly came back to his senses and said to me: "Cousin-in-law, I, I want to ask you something."
"Cousin-in-law, please tell me."
"I'll stop them in a moment. You can take my ladies and run away!"
I frowned and asked in confusion: "Why is this?"
"Your Majesty has been forced by the armies of the Three Kingdoms to have no way out. Now he is searching for foreigners in the city to pay off his debts. I am afraid these people are here to capture my wife to pay off the debts!"
"You can pay off your debt if you arrest him," I said, "It's just like being sent back to the country in disguise."
"You don't understand the situation at all," Bai Jun said bitterly: "With the status of my family, do you think it is possible for all four of my wives to come back alive?"
Yes, these four people have become a thorn in the side of the Bai family. With the status of the Bai family in York and Hancheng, they will never be allowed to go back so easily. There may be some torture and humiliation. With the four ladies’ delicate Judging from their physical strength, I'm afraid there won't be more than two people who can make it through alive.
"Xiaoyi" Bai Yunying begged: "Save my cousins."
Phoenix also pouted, frowned, and said, "Save them, Xiaoyi, they are not bad people."
I hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but thought to myself: Do I really want to save him?
