Dozens of members of the Water Family, including the chief of the Water Family, were beaten badly.

In the end, I spent three days in jail and didn't even get close to a boat village. In the end, I got nothing.

The chief of the water tribe still refused to give up, and was beaten with thirty sticks by the government before he finally calmed down.

Before Bai Shaojie had time to find a way to put pressure on others, the matter had already been resolved.

"Useless thing!" Bai Shaojie was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand.

"Young Master, there is no news from the Ministry of Revenue yet. The court has already started asking people to register the shipyard in Tianhe City. This is a matter of determining maritime transportation privileges." His aide reminded him in a low voice.

"Shen Suian, this bitch!" Bai Shaojie cursed angrily.

If Shen Suian hadn't robbed his Hengshui shipyard, he wouldn't be in such a passive position now.

"How about we look for a suitable dock?" the aide whispered.

Bai Shaojie took a deep breath and said, "We have checked out all the docks in that area. They are either too small or in a bad location. We need a large enough dock to obtain the shipping franchise we want."

"Oh, if I could say a few words for you, this matter would be easier." The aide sighed.

Originally, both aunts of the Bai family had married into high-class families. One was the future wife of the Duke's Mansion, and the other was the concubine of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

Just a little bit and the concubine's son will become the crown prince.

Concubine Bai was too ambitious and ended up losing her life.

"I'm going to find my aunt." Bai Shaojie said. It's been so long, it's time to go back to the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Lu was crazy when she was in the Lu family temple. After being sent back to the Bai family, she calmed down, but she chanted scriptures and worshiped Buddha all day long. Even Mrs. Bai was turned away when she wanted to see her.

Bai Shaojie came directly in front of Mrs. Lu and looked at her kneeling on the mat.

"Aunt, you are not a Buddhist, what can chanting change?"

"For so many years, you have been telling me that I must lead the Bai family to revive. Now that we are just one step away, you lock yourself up here to chant sutras and worship Buddha."

"Are you really going to hand over the Duke's Mansion to that bastard?"

"When my uncle brought Lu Yuan back, the Bai family sent someone to investigate. In addition to the prostitute, my uncle had many lovers, and no one knew who his biological mother was."

"Are you willing to give the Duke's Mansion to such a person?"

"What about Brother Heng?"

"Aunt, please wake up."

Mrs. Lu's eyelids trembled, but she didn't say a word. She let Bai Shaojie talk until his mouth was broken, but her expression was dull and she said nothing.

Bai Shaojie was almost angry when he spoke.

"Not only is Lu Yuan trying to bully Lu Heng, but even Shen Sui'an doesn't take our Bai family seriously. She even dares to snatch the dock from me. Who the hell does she think she is?"

"Does she regard you as a proper mother-in-law? No! When she sees someone from our Bai family, her eyes are fixed on her forehead."

"Aunt, did you hear me?" Bai Shaojie asked angrily.

Mrs. Lu closed her eyes.

What happened in the ancestral temple came to my mind again.

She always thought it was a nightmare.

I dreamed that Song Xiuzhi was humiliated by several beggars, and she could neither live nor die.

The beggars also found her, moved their dirty hands over her body, and tore off her clothes.

Later she realized that it was not a dream.

If Song Xiuzhi were alive, Concubine Yao would definitely suspect that Princess Guangning's experience had something to do with her.

She really regrets it.

How could such a fool as Song Xiuzhi be allowed to do such a thing?

Every night when she lay down she felt extremely regretful and wished she could kill Song Xiuzhi with her own hands.

But there is no chance.

If she wasn't crazy, she would be the next Song Xiuzhi.

Doesn’t Mrs. Lu want to return to the Duke’s Mansion?

She thought about it day and night.

Once she announces her recovery, the Bai family and her children will be doomed.

Now she can only pray that Concubine Yao will fall soon.

Bai Shaojie talked for a long time but still couldn't convince Mrs. Lu, so he kicked over the chair next to him.

"You'll regret it later."

Mrs. Lu lowered her head and tears fell silently.

……

……

Without a response from Mrs. Lu, Bai Shaojie was at a loss.

He left with a gloomy face.

I met the head of the Bai family outside who came at some point in time.

"Father, when did you come?" Bai Shaojie asked in surprise.

"I just heard what you said." The head of the Bai family said lightly.

"Come over here and talk."

Bai Shaojie knew that his father had always respected his aunt. He whispered, "Father, the Hengshui ship is in the hands of the Shen family. She has Lu Yuan as her backer, and she doesn't take our Bai family seriously."

"So you take your anger out on your aunt?" The head of the Bai family glanced at him.

Bai Shaojie lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, father."

"Your aunt is ill." The head of the Bai family said, "She married into the Duke's Mansion for the Bai family and has been planning for the Bai family all her life."

"If she had no other choice, she wouldn't have ignored the Bai family."

"Father, do you have any idea to break this impasse?" Bai Shaojie asked.

The head of the Bai family looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, "You met with several officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works a few days ago, right?"

"They were all trained by our Bai family. We raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a moment. Is there any problem with that?" Bai Shaojie frowned.

"Three of the five people were transferred out, and two were demoted." Patriarch Bai said coldly, "What do you think?"

All the people that the Bai family had trained in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works were found out in one day, and the Emperor ordered an investigation early this morning.

Bai Shaojie's expression suddenly changed, "What?"

"The emperor will not forget that the Bai family supported the Prince of Zhennan. If your second aunt hadn't gotten into trouble, we would have had another chance in Yong Dynasty."

"Now we can only remove the firewood from under the cauldron and put it in a desperate situation before we can survive."

"It is impossible for our Bai family to have the privilege of shipping. We must withdraw in time to preserve the Bai family's foundation."

"Father, what do you mean?" Bai Shaojie's expression was stern.

Patriarch Bai looked at him deeply and said, "Go to the Southern Dynasty."

"I have some friendship with He Zhiyuan. You go to the Southern Dynasty first and slowly transfer our business in Yunzhou over there."

"After the opening of sea transportation, it is indeed a good opportunity, but we cannot seek this opportunity with the identity of the Bai family."

"When you get to the Southern Dynasty, go find He Zhiyuan. He is the Prime Minister of the Southern Dynasty. With his guidance, you will know what to do."

Bai Shaojie understood.

My father plans to leave the Yong Dynasty. Given the current relationship between the two countries, this is undoubtedly treason.

But this is also an opportunity for the Bai family.

It is still uncertain who will ascend the throne between the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty and the eldest prince. If the Bai family can follow one of them, would it be worse than staying in the Yong Dynasty and continuing to be targeted?

"Father, I know what to do." Bai Shaojie was a little excited and expectant.

"Then... are we just going to let go of that bastard Lu Yuan?" He was still unwilling to accept it.

Patriarch Bai said in a deep voice, "I plan to send your fifth sister to the Lu family and let her accompany Sister Yan."

Although this daughter was born out of wedlock, she was as beautiful and intelligent as anyone else, and could definitely do whatever he asked her to do.

Bai Shaojie sneered, "Okay."
