It was 9:18 am.
On the auspicious day of a good day.
Nine unlicensed red flag truck stopped at the gate of the Bai's house on time.
Nine was an extreme number.
It represented the greatest and the supreme.
The carriage quietly drove over and stopped at the gate of the Bai family's courtyard. There was no noise or exaggeration. It was as if a king had entered the common people. It was quiet, but its breath was erupting.
The Bai family had also received news that the engagement today could not cause too much of a stir in the outside world.
So they just decorated the interior of the mansion, then changed into festive clothes and quietly stood on both sides of the gate, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
"Patriarch Bai, we, the Yuns, are here to pick you up. Quickly show yourself lest you delay the time!"
At this time, a cold young man got out of the car leading the way, stood at the door, and shouted.
The young man looked less than thirty years old, but his appearance and temperament were extremely outstanding. Even among the best descendants of the four families of the same age, he could be regarded as one of the most outstanding people!
Standing in front of the door, he spoke calmly in the face of a crowd of Bai family members, and faintly, he had a feeling of issuing orders.
The Bai family members were awestruck.
These were the characters who came from the Gu Family!
He was so valiant that even the most outstanding disciples of the Four Greatest Ancient Family couldn't be compared with him.
This person must be from the direct direct line of descent of the Yun Family!
All the members of the Bai family looked at the young man with burning eyes. They didn't feel any unhappiness at his rudeness. Instead, they were extremely proud and looked forward to working with such a person in the future, what kind of glory and honor they would have!
"He's coming! He's coming!"
Soon, when the words of the young man came to the mansion, Bai Xi, dressed in a big red Tang suit, responded with sweat and then ran out.
Bai Xi's forehead was covered with sweat. When he came to the door, he saw that it was only a young man with an extraordinary temperament who was waiting for him at the door, and he was stunned.
"Where's your housekeeper? Didn't he come?"
As the chief steward of the internal affairs of the Yun family, Cloud Sky Dragon was also the person in charge of the marriage between the two families. According to the custom, he should have personally taken Harrison to Prince Gong's Mansion today.
However, the next scene stunned everyone present.
In the face of Bai Xi's inquiry, the young man was expressionless. He directly raised his hand and slapped Bai Xi's face.
Pa!
A red palm print fell on Bai Xi's thin cheek.
"It's too noisy!"
The young man gave Bai Xi a cold look and then said, "There are two minutes left. If we miss the auspicious day, I will cancel this marriage on the orders of the family head. From now on, it has nothing to do with the Bai family!"
Bullying people!
It was too much of a bully!
When a group of disciples standing at the door of the Bai family saw this scene, they immediately gnashed their teeth in anger!
"Your Gu family looks down on the Bai family too much. It's such a big marriage, and it's okay that your family doesn't send a decent man, but this young man dared to speak rudely in front of all the Bai family and beat the deputy master of the Bai family at the door!"
The Gu family was too bullying!
A group of young disciples of the Bai Family gritted their teeth and were about to rush out to find back the Bai Family's place!
"Don't worry, everyone."
Bai Xi shouted in a low voice and did not show his anger. He just wiped his mouth with his hand, and then looked at the young man and said with a chuckle, "May I ask what's your name, little brother?"
"You don't deserve to know." The youth said coldly.
Bai Xi's hair stood on end. As the Deputy Family Master of the Bais and the true supervisor of the Bais, he had never been insulted like this before.
However, he didn't know why he didn't have the slightest idea of resisting when the young man treated him like this before the New Year.
The Yun family was too powerful.
Even if it was a servant, they wouldn't be able to fight back against him.
"Please don't be impatient. Our Miss has just finished her meal and is on her way here. She'll be here soon, so she won't miss the proper timing," Bai Xi said humbly.
"The First Miss is here!"
At this moment, with a long dawdling sound, a fragrance filled the air in the courtyard. Everyone's eyes were attracted by it.
On the long red carpet, a "red cloud" was slowly floating over.
It was simply unacceptable to him.
"Father, I'm leaving."
The quiet, white silk cloth behind him opened its mouth gently.
In her eyes, no matter how grand it was, it could not cover up the fact that she was going to be the family's sacrifice today and the result of marrying into the Yun Family.
"No, the Yun Family has gone back on their words. They think too little of the Bai Family! I'm going to call the Master of the Yun Family personally and ask him what's going on!" Bai Zheng was furious and refused to let go.
"Don't tell me that you can't even let me walk quietly?"
Bai Cheng's voice was choked with sobs, but his words had shocked Bai Zheng on the spot.
"What, what did you say?" Bai Zheng could hear the despair in his daughter's words.
"I've promised you that I'll marry Yun Ziqing, marry into the Yun Family, and listen to you. I'll marry in peace and don't provoke any trouble. Now I've done everything you ask me to do. But why do you bother to embarrass your daughter at this moment?"
Her eyes brimmed with tears, her teeth bit her red lips as she spoke in a soft voice.
"But, Yun Family treated us..." Bai Zheng still wanted to explain.
"That's what I wanted." Bai Shan interrupted him. "I've been thinking about how I could leave this house quietly without attracting any attention from my neighbors. Now that the Yun Family wishes to hold today's engagement ceremony without disturbing anyone, this has fulfilled my daughter's wishes. Father, please fulfill my daughter's one last request. Please allow me to leave quietly, is that okay?"
Bai Ling's words were sincere and sincere, causing Bai Zheng to clench the armrest of his wheelchair tightly. His face was so dark that it was nearly wringing out of his face!
He naturally loved his precious daughter, but in this era, as the patriarch of the Bai Family, he should think about the future of the Bai Family!
In particular, the Bai family gradually went downhill. When they were about to lose the last position of the four families, in the face of the olive branch offered by the Yun family of the ancient family, he had no reason to refuse!
But at the same time, he also knew that the moment he sat down and made the decision, his precious daughter would no longer belong to him.
After a long time.
Bai Zheng heaved a deep sigh.
"Go ahead. Today is just a engagement ceremony. There is no need to hold such a grand ceremony. Follow their carriages to Prince Gong's Mansion. We will be there later. When the day you and Harrison get married is coming, we will definitely marry you to the bride's family and let the whole world see you!"
Bai Zheng gritted his teeth and decided not to send his daughter out. He would let her get in the carriage by herself and then go to the Prince Gong's Mansion!
"Then father, I'm leaving."
The white woman nodded, let go of the wheelchair in her hand, and stepped out of the gate...
