Chapter 1214: Chapter 1213 - “Casting the Bait (4)”

Am I not supposed to come find Her Highness?

Why is the queen’s mother so angry?

“This… have I done something?” First Elder asks with an aggrieved face.

“Mother…” Bai Yan tried to explain but was promptly cut off by the powerful look from her own mother.

“You don’t have to say anything. Today, no one is allowed to take you away! Before I wasn’t around so these people were able to pick on you and my grandson, but not anymore!”

Pick on the queen… and the prince?

Twitching in the corner of his mouth, First Elder couldn’t complain about half of that because its partially true.

The king picking on the prince is true, but when have the king picked on the queen?

It can’t be….

The queen’s mother found out about that incident where someone impersonated the king and drove the queen away and hurt the young prince?

Thinking up to here, the elder hurriedly wiped away the trickle of sweat from his forehead: “Madam Bai, this… it’s a misunderstanding, I can explain….”

“Explain what?” Bai Ning furiously swings the chair leg around in the air until she eventually locks it point blank into First Elder’s face, “You bunch drove my daughter and grandson out from their home first so don’t come asking them back just because you feel like it! Scram! All of you scram! Out of consideration for my daughter’s sake, I won’t hurt any of you! But if you continue to stay and make trouble then don’t blame me for not being kind!”

Bai Yan’s face was pitch black at this point over what’s being said. She naturally knew her son had said plenty of bad things about Di Cang in front of her mother Bai Ning, but to cause this level of a reaction was… well, damning!

So….

After looking at the dumbfounded and nervous First Elder, she then turns to her mother and said: “Mother, it’s all Xiachen’s nonsense, Di Cang, he….”

“Yan’er, I know you can’t let go of that man and want to defend him, but I will never let him hurt you anymore! My daughter is the best in the world so you will be matched with the best of course! If he breaks your heart then why should you keep him inside?”

In Bai Ning’s view, her son-in-law must be impeccable in order to match her impeccable daughter. Anything lesser would be an instant out!

“But Mother, everything really isn’t like that, it’s Xiachen stretching the story.”

Growing urgent now, Bai Yan continues to defend her husband before things get completely out of hand.

“You don’t need to keep defending him Yan’er. How old is Xiachen? There’s no way he would lie. From what I can see, these people are only here to take you back without caring for you. Don’t worry, I won’t let them get their way and make you suffer again!”

When a person’s face goes so dark that it’s turning white, you know things are getting desperate and that’s exactly what’s happening to Bai Yan in this case.

“Xiachen, hurry and explain the matter to your grandmother.” The poor lady almost sounded pleading to her own boy.

“Oh,” puckering his lip, the boy begrudgingly did as told using his innocent face. “Grandmother, my father is actually not bad. Although I hate it when he keeps my mother’s attention all to himself, but he’s sincere to us nevertheless.”

“Really?” said Bai Ning with a doubtful voice.

Due to all the salt added by the boy during their time together, the grandmother had a lot of trouble believing Di Cang to be a good person. Heck, she still didn’t believe but won’t go against the boy’s cuddly and innocent face.

Bai Xiachen nodded in earnest: “I wanted to stay with you so I made the story up about us being mistreated by Baddie Father. Grandmother, I really like you, can you become our family for real?”
