Chapter 2247 I identified him

Bai Ruozhu was dumbfounded when he heard this. What's going on? Does the second brother have a concubine in name only?

The men of the Bai family do not take concubines. Everyone in the capital knew this before, so what does a good concubine mean?

Then Si Yihuan's words helped her clear up her doubts.

"After the emperor took back the country this time, some new dignitaries also appeared. As for my grandfather, who temporarily took charge of the government in Beiyu City, although the Si family has been rewarded, it is actually being suppressed by the emperor. In addition, there are many People don’t want the Si family to grow bigger, and Zepei and your Xiaojiang have also taken on important positions, so some people can’t stay. That Lu Wenwen is an emerging noble."

Si Yihuan shed more tears as she spoke. Bai Ruozhu hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and patted her back as if coaxing a child. After a long time, Si Yihuan's mood calmed down.

"My grandpa meant that my family should keep a low profile and not have a big tree that attracts wind. So when Concubine Xian brought up this matter, my mother had no choice but to reject it. I..."

Bai Ruozhu immediately said: "This is my second brother's fault. He should understand your difficulties. However, those people are really insidious. It's just that there is no way to get through from my second brother's side, so I can only make things difficult for Mrs. Si and you. See Given the current situation, I know it’s hard for you to refuse.”

"But your second brother is really angry with me. I took the initiative to say a few words to him in the past two days, but he refused to pay attention to me." Si Yihuan said aggrievedly.

Bai Ruozhu secretly scolded her second brother for not knowing how to show mercy, but she still persuaded him: "Second brother cares about you and doesn't want you to accept this kind of thing, so he is a little angry."

"I also know that what I'm doing is wrong, but I'm really in a dilemma. It's hard for my mother to do this. How can I, as a daughter, drive him out?" Si Yihuan bit his lower lip with a very tangled expression.

Bai Ruozhu sighed, thought for a while and said: "You have to arrange some confidants to guard the door. Next time you see this situation, just say you are not at home and you hide and wait until the second brother comes back to deal with it. You can't refuse this kind of thing. , but you can throw it to the second brother. If he, the male master, refuses, it will be hard for others to say anything."

Si Yihuan nodded vigorously, "I made a note of it, and I'll make arrangements later. I'm sure this kind of trouble has happened again recently."

Bai Ruozhu felt sorry for her and felt that it was meaningless for her second brother and the others to serve as officials in the capital, but she could not drag them away. Everyone has their own living habits and demands. Just like the elder brother and sister-in-law prefer a peaceful life and just run a small business.

And the second brother has been studying since he was a child. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable if you let him be full of poems and books instead of serving the country and follow Bai Ruozhu to keep accounts?

What's more, the second brother's personality is not like being taken care of by her all the time, and the second sister-in-law's grandfather is the prime minister. He is already inseparable from the Si family, and it is impossible to retreat.

Different people have different personalities, and her preferences may not necessarily be what the second brother wants. Therefore, she can help the second brother and the others, but she cannot decide anything for them.

Soon Si Yihuan cheered up again and said that he would tell the kitchen to prepare more dinner. Bai Ruozhu said hello to her and went to the west courtyard to see the Lu family who was sent there.

Before entering Lu's courtyard, I heard the sound of playing the piano. The sound was beautiful and very artistic. I didn't expect Lu to be a master of piano skills.

Bai Ruozhu felt a little uncomfortable. Could it be that she was proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting? So what does it mean for them to send a talented girl to her second brother? Want her second brother to be fascinated by the gentle countryside?

She slowly walked into the courtyard. A maid saw her and hurriedly saluted, "Don't know how to call this lady?"

Bai Ruozhu glanced at the maid. All the maids advanced and retreated in such a controlled manner. The Lu family must have thought carefully.

"I am Bai Ruozhu, the eldest lady of the Bai family." She replied calmly.

"I don't know that I'm the eldest lady, so I'm being rude." The maid said and bowed respectfully, "I'm going to call the lady."

Bai Ruozhu glanced at her. This maid was not stupid. She did not change her name to Mrs. Lu as "Aunt Lu". After all, Bai Zepei had not acknowledged her yet. Their unauthorized change of words would only make the Bai family unhappy.

Soon the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Mr. Lu came out to greet him and saluted respectfully.

"Lu Wan has met Lord Bai." Lu Wanshi saluted gracefully.

"You're welcome at home. There's no need to call me Master Bai." Bai Ruozhu smiled at her and made a gesture to stand up.

Lu Wan immediately welcomed Bai Ruozhu into the house to drink tea. Bai Ruozhu's attitude had always been very easy-going. She wanted to see what Lu Wan was thinking so that she could arrange the following things.

After ten days of tea, Lu Wan also learned that Bai Ruozhu had just returned to Beijing and became somewhat familiar with her.

"I was attracted by the sound of the piano. I didn't expect you to be so versatile, so coming here would really wrong you." Bai Ruozhu quickly got to the point.

"The eldest lady is serious. I have always admired the talent of the second young master. Even if my family sends me here, I am willing to do so. I know the rules of the Bai family, and I will be satisfied even if I am a maid for the second young master." Lu Wan looked sincere. said.

Bai Ruozhu curled her lips secretly, "You are satisfied, but the relationship between husband and wife is going to be affected by you. If you put a beautiful woman as a maid, will you remain a widow forever?"

"It's a pity that my second brother is rarely used as a book boy. Why should Miss Lu force herself?" Bai Ruozhu continued.

"How will you know if you don't try? I know that the eldest lady doesn't like me, and I don't want to say nice things in a false way. I have already decided that I am the second master. I am willing to be a concubine, a maid, or a married woman. " Lu Wan said.

Bai Ruozhu felt that it was useless to talk to her anymore, so she stood up and said, "Miss Lu, let's continue dreaming. You will know in the future that in this world, you don't have what you believe in, and it is not your turn to have the final say in the Bai family."

Lu Wan didn't want Bai Ruozhu to suddenly fall out. In the environment in which she lived, no matter how angry she was, she had to be conciliatory. No one would fall out like Bai Ruozhu did.

Suddenly, a feeling of envy arose in her heart, probably only for people who live wantonly and willfully.

Bai Ruozhu had already left, and the maid next to her whispered: "What can we do, young lady? Even Lord Bai is unwilling to help us, how can we convince the second young master?"

"Then let's start with the Second Young Madam." Lu Wan said slowly.

The maid breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her young lady Bingxue was smart.

Bai Ruozhu actually didn't go far, and because of her excellent hearing, she overheard the conversation between Lu Wan and her maid. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile. Her second sister-in-law was really that easy to bully. ?

Besides, would she and her second brother allow others to bully their second sister-in-law?

When it was almost time for dinner, Bai Zepei hurried back, and Bai Ruozhu stepped forward to greet him, not wanting to smell the smell of alcohol all over him.

Bai Ruozhu frowned. It's not that the second brother is a bad drinker, but he rarely drinks. What happened today?
