The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Looking at her daughter who had curled up into a ball, Mrs. Bai was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say to comfort Yu Xin at this moment.

Avoiding the crowd, Madam Bai Shao slowly walked to Yu Xin's side and gently embraced her.

"If you feel sad, just cry."

Crying makes you feel better.

Feeling her mother's warmth, Bai Yuxin quietly moved closer to Madam Bai Shao's arms and said, "Mom, I'm fine."

In one day, everything changed.

In such a situation, even my father-in-law might not be able to remain absolutely calm, so how could Yu Xin be safe?

"I wonder what's happening with the Fifth Prince?"

Hiding the uneasiness in her eyes, Madam Bai Shao spoke softly.

The friendship between the Fifth Prince and Bai Yuxin was the most confidential matter in the Bai Mansion. Apart from Bai Yuxin himself, only Prime Minister Bai knew about it.

But how could the daughter's thoughts be hidden from her mother's eyes?

Besides, Mrs. Bai is a mother who loves her daughter very much.

Initially, Prime Minister Bai decided on Madam Bai's marriage because he valued her intelligence, wit, and general knowledge.

Nowadays, Madam Bai has been immersed in the Bai Mansion for many years. She knows more things and comes into contact with more people, so she is naturally more knowledgeable.

Even though she knew about her daughter's affair with the fifth prince, Mrs. Bai could only pretend to be ignorant.

When the fifth prince was mentioned, Bai Yuxin's mind seemed to stop suddenly.

All the warm scenes from before came into Bai Yuxin's mind without reservation, causing her heart to ache, as if someone was strangling her throat and she couldn't breathe.

Yuan Ruiyin, the fifth prince, is a man of great prominence in the Tianyuan Dynasty and Bai Yuxin's hope in life.

Over the years, Bai Yuxin had already given him all her true heart.

Even if the emperor grants the marriage, Bai Yuxin would rather give up everything and risk her life to follow the fifth prince.

She knew that he had great ambitions and would be surrounded by beauties from prominent families in the future. But even so, Bai Yuxin wanted to give it a try.

But now, in order to protect the fifth prince, it is still a foregone conclusion that grandfather will secretly station troops.

Even if the emperor trusts my grandfather, decades of trust may be destroyed in one day after the incident of the secret base.

I just don't know what position I hold in the Fifth Prince's heart after all these years of companionship.

The Bai Mansion is in danger this time, what will the Fifth Prince do for me?

At the morning court today, all the ministers were frightened and broke out in cold sweats, and Song Hongwen was no exception.

Song Hongwen hurried back to the Duke's Mansion and rushed to the upper room before he had time to change his clothes.

In the old lady's courtyard, Xu, Yang Lan, Yang Qi and others were chatting and laughing with the old lady.

These days, the old lady was very angry with Song Hongwen and was not feeling well. Whenever Xu and others had time, they would go to the upper room to accompany the old lady and kill time.

Today, the topic that Xu and Yang Lan discussed with the old lady was the things to pay attention to when attending the wedding of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Bai Yuxin tomorrow.

The Crown Prince's wedding is no small matter. The Ministry of Rites and other departments have been busy for such a long time. All matters such as the seating of officials and their wives must follow the rules of the palace.

Because of An's matter, Yang Jing has been staying indoors for the past few days and has been claiming to be sick. She will not attend the banquet in the palace this time.

Yang He was born out of wedlock, and according to convention, she could not attend such serious and formal occasions.

Fortunately, Yang Lan and Yang Qi have learned the etiquette from Nanny Li and Nanny Zhu over the years, and they walk and stand without making any mistakes, so the old lady and Mrs. Xu are not worried about this.

Seeing that Song Hongwen hurried upstairs without waiting for the servants to report, Yang Qi frowned slightly.

Song Hongwen has always been particular about rules and pomp. What happened during the morning court today?

Yang Qi always felt that chatting and laughing in the upper room every day was a waste of time, and he had no interest in what they were talking about today. He originally wanted to find an excuse to return to the yard, but Song Hongwen hurried back.

"Mom, something happened!"

During the days that the old lady was ill, Song Hongwen never appeared in the upper room.

Song Hongwen came here suddenly today. Although the old lady was angry in her heart, her face looked much more relaxed.

"What's the matter that makes you so panicked?"

Song Hongwen glanced at the maids and servants in the room and said in a deep voice, "All go down."

"Yes, Lord Guo."

When only the old lady, Xu, Yang Qi and Yang Lan were left in the room, Song Hongwen spoke: "At the morning court today, someone accused Prime Minister Bai of secretly stationing troops near Xihu.

The emperor was furious, so Prime Minister Bai was arrested and put in jail, and everyone in the Bai residence was taken to the Censorate.

The marriage between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Bai Yuxin is also cancelled immediately!"

What was most worrying was that the Fifth Prince disappeared after the morning court session. Even if Song Hongwen wanted to find out something about him, he would have no idea where to turn.

"what?"

Song Hongwen's words were like thunder, shocking everyone in the room and making them unable to recover.

Yang Qi clenched his hands tightly under his wide sleeves. Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taking action?

I guess the person who reported Bai Xiang in the morning court was Mo Chong.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Song Hongwen frowned.

“Not only that, the Five Stone Powder incident has also been concluded, and it was the work of the Imperial Guards’ Deputy Commander Nian Rongchuan.

Today, the Emperor has issued an order that Nian Rongchuan be executed and the Minister of War be demoted to a commoner."

At this point, Song Hongwen's face looked extremely bad.

The Minister of War Nian Chuan is the Fifth Prince's biological uncle and was definitely a great help to the Fifth Prince.

But early this morning, the Fifth Prince lost his two great supporters, the Minister of War and Prime Minister Bai, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gaining momentum. I am afraid that in the future, the Fifth Prince will find it difficult to continue competing with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the throne.

Since entering the officialdom, Song Hongwen has become a disciple of the Fifth Prince.

Currently, the marriage between Yang Lan and the fifth prince has been widely discussed in the capital, and the Duke Song's Mansion is in a difficult situation this time.

As the matter concerned an important matter of the court, for a moment, the old lady, Xu and others did not dare to speak rashly.

"Sister-in-law, these things will probably spread throughout the capital immediately. People in the Duke's Mansion must not discuss this matter in any occasion!"

The old lady quickly agreed, "Second daughter-in-law, please take more care of this matter."

Xu nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Lord, Mother, I will do a good job on this matter."
