After the Republic of China

Chapter 1060 Dealing with Shao Xiuxue

The Bai family got their start with the support of the northern warlords, and they are doing quite well now.

Now, he has rashly entered Shanghai and his whereabouts are mysterious, which makes people think more.

The study was full of smart people, and Butler Zhang's reasonable questioning of Bai Da instantly aroused everyone's suspicion.

No, Shao Yunshi suddenly remembered something after hearing this, and her eyes narrowed, "Grandpa, will Bai Da act under the banner of my father?"

"What kind of reputation does your father have?" Shao Lanxiang said, frowning, "Dad, he wouldn't want to take advantage of your relationship with Zhekai, right?"

This is really possible. Shao Yunshi became more and more worried and anxious.

Mr. Shao did not comment and sighed, "Mingkang announced in Peking in his early years that he had married Bai."

"That's true. In the eyes of others, Bai is the eldest lady of the Shao family." Shao Lanxiang said hatefully.

Mr. Shao glanced at his daughter who had interrupted him and continued, "For Di Yuan's future, after we arrived in Beiping, we only confined Bai to his home and did not make any other announcements."

Shao Lanxiang clapped her hands, "Dad, we should let the Bai family and the Bai family draw a clear line. After all, we are a family of scholars and have nothing to do with business, which is understandable."

This statement was a bit far-fetched. Butler Zhang tried it but finally swallowed his words.

Old Master Shao felt even worse. If anything happened to his son-in-law, he would be so sorry to his daughter and her husband, as well as his eldest granddaughter.

Shao Yunshi sighed when she saw her grandfather looking at her with some guilt.

In fact, she was not unhappy at all. After all, in this era, family was still important.

This family includes not only myself, but also my younger brother, even my elder aunt from Yangzhou and my younger aunt from Wuhan, and furthermore, my old aunt from the Yan family.

It can be said that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer.

For the sake of these innocent people, no matter how angry she was, she would not ask her grandfather to rashly expose the ugly behavior of the Bai family in Yangzhou just because of herself.

Then, Shao Yunshi said, "Grandpa, don't think too much. It's not worth sacrificing our family's reputation for the sake of the Bai family."

The more she understood, the more Mr. Shao and Shao Lanxiang felt sorry for their child.

Butler Zhang didn't want the old man to be blamed, so he hurriedly said, "In fact, when we were in Beiping, the old man had already informed the Bai family of what the Bai family had done in Yangzhou."

Shao Lanxiang knew about this, "Yes, my father even directly asked them not to have any contact with each other."

"Unfortunately, the Bai family is so thick-skinned that they pretend not to know and even come to visit us from time to time when the old man is not at home." Old Butler Zhang said angrily.

"It's because our master is not capable enough." Shao Lanxiang pouted.

Butler Zhang wanted to agree, but he held back.

Mr. Shao waved his hand and said, "No need to talk about him. Just pretend that he doesn't exist."

Seeing that her father seemed annoyed with her brother, Shao Lanxiang didn't dare to say anything more.

Mr. Shao ignored his daughter and only frowned and said, "If the Bai family really did something excessive this time, I will directly and publicly sever ties with his family."

"That's how it should be." Shao Lanxiang couldn't help but shout.

Shao Yunshi asked, "What about father?"

"If your father doesn't agree, then let him go out on his own." Mr. Shao was very domineering.

This?! Not to mention Shao Yunshi, even Shao Lanxiang was a little surprised by her father's decision.

Butler Zhang obviously knew about this a long time ago, "Don't be nervous, the old man has been wanting to change the old master's temper for a long time."

This was not suitable for a daughter like Shao Yunshi to hear. Seeing her niece's embarrassment, Shao Lanxiang patted her hands and comforted her.

Butler Zhang obviously also saw Shao Yunshi's predicament. He smiled and looked at the old man.

Mr. Shao motioned for him to continue.

Old housekeeper Zhang made up his mind, "Young Master Di Yuan is growing up. If the old master is still so obsessed with his children's love affairs, it will definitely not be a blessing for the Shao family."

Everyone present knew what he had not said. He was afraid that the younger generation of the Shao family would learn bad habits from the irrational behavior of their elders.

Shao Lanxiang nodded in agreement. She had always been worried about the inheritance of her mother's family.

Shao Yunshi knew that her grandfather must have thought carefully before making this decision.

Yes, anyone will seem insignificant compared to the family's prospects.

What's more, grandpa is not the kind of person who would disregard justice.

She even felt that people like her own father would not be dealt with in a fair and honest way, and others would just muddle through and pretend to be ignorant.

Seeing that his eldest granddaughter's expression had softened, Mr. Shao nodded approvingly.

"That's right. With big brother's temper, he won't wake up unless he is treated harshly." Shao Lanxiang has few scruples and speaks directly.

But she paused, thought of a possibility, and then said, "But, Mom should be distressed."

Mr. Shao looked coldly, "This is not something you should worry about."

These words sounded somewhat angry, so Shao Lanxiang shrank her neck and dared not say any more.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Shao Yunshi quickly picked up a safe topic, "Aunt, you should quickly tell me how you plan to discipline Xiuxue."

Shao Lanxiang said unhappily: "What's there to say about this matter? It's nothing more than asking her to behave herself and stop being so disrespectful and narrow-minded."

Shao Yunshi knew that her aunt would not tell her the details, so she stopped asking.

Old Master Shao interrupted, "Lanxiang, please see if there is a suitable family for Xiuxue. If there is, it doesn't matter if the family background is good or not, as long as the character is suitable, you can marry her."

Shao Lanxiang did not reject it. "I'll take note of this. I'll come back to see how well she has been taught. Don't let her be harmed again when she comes to her house."

"That's very true." Mr. Shao agreed. He himself had married a woman who brought trouble to the family and felt deeply victimized.

"I'm looking for a family for Xiuxue. Should I inform Mom and brother?" Shao Lanxiang asked, glancing at her father's face.

"Don't worry about this. I'm a grandfather now. How can I decide my granddaughter's marriage?" Old Master Shao waved his hand indifferently.

Shao Yunshi is not optimistic about this.

However, it hasn't happened yet, so she can't say anything.

Should I let her say, "Aunt, you'd better not interfere in Shao Xiuxue's marriage, because that person is a troublemaker and you will be blamed later"?

It was obvious that Butler Zhang was not optimistic about Shao Xiuxue either.

However, he did not say anything, only said: "Marriage is still up to fate, Miss Lanxiang, don't rush to find a husband for the second young lady, education is more important first."

"Yes, I know." Shao Lanxiang was not a fool. How could she not know that finding a husband for her troublesome niece might not end well?
But? She couldn't bear to see her father in trouble.

Mr. Shao probably came back to his senses. He glanced at his daughter and assured her, "I will take care of the matter of finding a husband for the second girl. No matter what the result is, don't be afraid."

After hearing this, Shao Lanxiang snorted, "Who am I afraid of? If Bai and the second girl don't know what's good for them, I won't bother to care about them."

Shao Lanxiang resented her brother and despised the Bai family. As long as she could express it, she would not hesitate at all.
