The vicious female supporting role is ruthless and arrogant

Chapter 385 Filial Piety

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." The old general grabbed the prison door and called Jun Yisheng in a hoarse voice.

Jun Yisheng frowned and looked for a long time before he recognized the person who called him.

"General Bai?" he asked tentatively.

"Yes, I am a criminal."

Jun Yisheng was still extremely surprised when he saw the old general's appearance.

The old general was only about forty years old at the time, which was considered to be the prime of his life.

He had been incarcerated for less than a year, but his black hair had turned completely white and he was so thin that he was just skin and bones.

"General Bai called me, the prince. Is there something wrong?"

Because the old general was the biological father of his good friend, his attitude towards the old general was relatively gentle.

"I heard that you just returned victorious from the northern frontier."

Jun Yisheng nodded, "Yes, I have been back for three days."

"Then, is Wankai injured?"

Jun Yisheng sighed. No matter how angry he was, even if the bones were broken, the tendons were still connected. After all, they were father and son.

"General Bai, rest assured. Wan Kai has returned safely. He has made great contributions in this battle. Father has conferred upon him the title of Marquis of Jingyang."

The old general's lips trembled and tears moistened his eyes.

"Okay, okay...

My son has made great progress!

Prince, how is my beloved wife doing?"

"General, rest assured. Marquis Jingyang has taken good care of the old lady."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The old general bowed to Jun Yisheng.

“There are things I shouldn’t have said.

But the general was really confused before.

Even if you prefer a concubine at home, you cannot allow the concubine to suppress your wife.

Your wife has been having repeated miscarriages. Have you ever thought about investigating this?

As long as you do a little investigation, you will find that it was your aunt who sealed musk and safflower in the lady's pillow.

In fact, you should have had some guesses in your mind at the beginning, but you just didn't want to believe that your beloved concubine would harm others, right?

Madam, if it is true, it will bring bad luck to people.

Ever since Wan Kai moved out of the general's mansion with his wife and built his own mansion, his career has been smooth sailing. Why is that?

Have you never thought about it at all?"

Before Jun Yisheng could finish his words, the old general had already burst into tears.

After Jun Yisheng finished his work in the Heavenly Prison, he went to the Marquis Jingyang's Mansion.

"Wan Kai, I just went to the prison to interrogate the prisoners, and your father asked me about your situation."

"He hasn't died in there yet?" Jing Yanghou paused with his hand holding the teacup and said casually.

"He's about to finish his sentence, what are you going to do?"

"Humph, what else can I do? I have already severed the father-son relationship with him.

From now on, he will go his way and I will go my way, and we will have nothing to do with each other."

Jun Yisheng looked at the piece of clothing sticking out from the door and sighed.

"Wan Kai, bring him back."

A month later, Marquis Jingyang and his mother were waiting at the gate of the Heavenly Prison.

As the old general walked out of the gate of the Heavenly Prison, his face was filled with shock when he saw Jingyang Hou and his mother.

"The general's mansion has been raided, and since you have nowhere else to go, why don't you stay at my place?

Letting you go to my place doesn't mean I forgive you. I will never forgive you in my life."

After saying that, he turned around and left, got on the carriage, and returned home first.

The old general's wife looked at the old general with red eyes. She hated the old general to the core.

But he was her husband after all, and they had their sweet times together.

Seeing him in trouble now, she still felt a little pain in her heart.

"Come on, go back and wash up. I've prepared some grapefruit water for you to get rid of the musty smell."

The old general, with tears on his face, got into the carriage behind his wife, whom he had once abandoned.

The two carriages continued to move away, and Jun Yisheng and Zuo Zixuan came out from behind the stone lions next to the gate.

"Now that you saw with your own eyes that the person was taken back, are you relieved?" Zuo Zixuan turned around and looked at Jun Yisheng with amusement.

"This is someone else's family affair, I don't know why you are worrying about it.

If I were Bai Wankai, I wouldn't care about that ruthless father at all."

“Wife, times have changed.

Maybe in the 22nd century, no one will say much about the elders, after all, the elders were in the wrong first.

But in this era, even if General Bai made a lot of mistakes, he was still Wan Kai's biological father.

If he doesn't care about General Bai's life or death, he will be accused of being disloyal and unfilial, which will have a great impact on his future career.

Even if he hated his father, he had to take him back to fulfill his filial duty."

Zuo Zixuan pursed his lips and muttered, "Damn the old society."

After Marquis Jingyang brought the old general back, he arranged a separate courtyard for him.

Since then, the old general has lived in seclusion and almost no one has seen him.

Five years later, he died of a tumor in his brain.

Marquis Jingyang still wore mourning clothes and buried the old general in his own cemetery with great ceremony.

"Why does my sister-in-law suddenly want to divorce?" Zuo Zixuan put down his teacup and asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I, I, I..."

Marquis Jingyang stammered as he told Zuo Zixuan what had happened.

Zuo Zixuan raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it possible that you have inherited your father's bad genes and are beginning to lose control of your lower body?

You yourself have experienced the chaos in the harem, and you still want to take a concubine?

Aren't you afraid that a concubine might bully your legitimate wife and son?"

"Oh, my lady, those were just jokes I made up, how can you take them seriously?

If I really wanted to take a concubine, I would have done it earlier. Would I have waited until my son was about to get married to take one?"

Marquis Jingyang explained nervously.

"If you want an apology, just go to your sister-in-law and explain it face to face.

Do you have to go to such great lengths to come to me in the palace to seek peace?"

When Jing Yanghou heard this, he hung his head like a deflated ball.

"If I could enter the gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, would I still beg you?"

"Oh..., so he was thrown out by his father-in-law's family?"

"My queen, in one word, will you help me or not? If you don't help me, I will jump into the moat right now."

"Help, why not?

By the way, you just said that your son wants to pursue my second son?"

Marquis Jingyang nodded angrily with gritted teeth. If that brat hadn't asked such a terrifying question, would his backyard have caught fire?

"Someone is coming..."

"Go call the princess over and ask her to accompany me to the Grand Tutor's Mansion."

"Yes, empress..."

The Taifu Mansion was right next to the Imperial Palace. In just a stick of incense, Zuo Zixuan and her daughter arrived at the Taifu Mansion.

As soon as Bai Runze entered the wife's room, Zuo Zixuan and her daughter came over.

The maid wanted to report it but was stopped by Zuo Zixuan.

Zuo Zixuan mainly wanted to hear whether the Marquis's wife was crying. If she was crying at this time and looked embarrassing, it would be impolite to go in like that.

I didn't expect to hear what Bai Ruize said.

Zuo Zixuan glanced at Jun Yuxue, whose face was flushed.

It seems that the second son of my family is somewhat interested in Bai Ruize.

After listening to almost everything, he signaled the maid to report.

The maid pushed the door open and said, "Madam, the Queen and the Princess are here."

Before the Marquis and her son stood up, Zuo Zixuan brought Jun Yuxue into the room.

Bai Ruize was stuffing a piece of cake into his mouth, when he turned around and saw Zuo Zixuan and Jun Yuxue almost choking to death.

He suddenly gulped down a cup of tea and coughed so hard that he almost died.

I saw Jun Yuxue looking at me with curiosity.

He looked down at his disheveled appearance and really wanted to dig a hole and bury himself immediately.

He stood up with a red face and thick neck and greeted Zuo Zixuan and the princess.

Then he found a lame excuse and ran away.

"Queen, Princess, please take a seat. The snacks are gone. I'll go get some for you."

The Queen and the Marquis' wife looked at Bai Ruize's helpless look, looked at each other and laughed out loud.

Jun Yuxue also lowered her head in shame.

"Queen, are you here to lobby for Bai Wankai?"

After Zuo Zixuan and Jun Yuxue sat down, the Marquis's wife asked straight to the point.

Zuo Zixuan shook her head. "He went to the palace to beg me, but I only agreed to bring Taifu Fu to see you, but I didn't agree to help him persuade you."

"But do you really intend to divorce him?"

The Marquis's eyes were red and she pursed her lips without saying a word.

Zuo Zixuan patted Madam Hou's hand and said, "If you want to divorce, then do so. I support you.

This man just can't be indulged. Not to mention physical infidelity, even mental infidelity is not allowed.

You do this..., that..."

The two women in their forties plotted in the room for more than an hour.

Bai Ruize did not appear for more than an hour. When he appeared again, he was panting, holding a lot of bags in his arms, and sweat was beading on his forehead.

Zuo Zixuan joked, "Did the young master change into new clothes and put on some makeup?"

When Bai Ruize heard Zuo Zixuan's teasing, his whole body turned red like a cooked shrimp. He pursed his lips and lowered his head, not daring to look at Jun Yuxue.

He placed the bags on the table and said in a low voice:

"It took a while to go to the west of the city to buy some snacks."

"Hey, is this Xu's Pastry Shop in the west of the city? I heard the line there is really long. How did you get one?"

"Just, just..."

"Everyone gave 100 coins, squeezed to the front, and bid for half an hour before they bought it." Bai Ruize's bodyguard Dong Wei interrupted from behind.

"My boy, I've never seen you so filial to me on other days, queuing up to buy snacks for me." The marquis's wife looked at her son, who looked like a good-looking man, with a feeling of amusement and tears.

"Mom, stop talking so I can queue up to buy it for you every day."

"Here, Princess, try this red bean cake, it's delicious." Bai Ruize blushed and handed a paper bag to Jun Yuxue.

Jun Yuxue took the paper package and thanked him softly, "Thank you, Master Bai."

"No thanks, no thanks. I also bought you some chestnut cakes, peach cakes, and candied fruits. You can take them back and enjoy them slowly.

If you like it, I will buy it for you next time."

Bai Ruize said nervously.

This time it was Jun Yuxue's turn to blush.

Why does this person speak so directly? The elders are right here.

Zuo Zixuan and Madam Hou looked at each other with amusement.

"Oh, so there's no place for us two old ladies?" Zuo Zixuan joked.

Bai Ruize scratched the back of his head and quickly explained.

"Yes, yes, I bought two."

dong dong dong...

"Madam, the old lady has prepared lunch. Please invite the queen and the princess to come and have dinner."
