Chapter 60 The Bai Family Comes to Testify
Behind the crowd, Bai Yan and his group had been waiting for a long time. After hearing the announcement, they walked out of the crowd with some embarrassment on their faces.

When passing by Bai Yulang, he gave him a fierce look and said, "Why don't you apologize to Lord Liang quickly? Let's just forget about this! Don't cause any trouble!"

"So you are really here to bear false witness for this old guy?" Bai Yulang looked at his respected father and beloved sister with disappointment.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I invited Sir Liang to be my guest. You misunderstood Sir Liang." Bai Yan's face turned pale. Then he said, "But Sir Liang also said that as long as you apologize, we will become a family again and this matter will be over! Otherwise, you will be imprisoned!"

Bai Yan's eyes were fixed on Bai Yulang, with a warning in his anxiety, but not too much worry!

After all, he has two older brothers. The eldest brother is a compiler in the Hanlin Academy, and now he has been appointed by the emperor to restore history books.

While his son was fighting in the frontier and had already become a deputy general, the third son was always in a carefree state. Although he practiced martial arts, he also liked to do business and made friends with some bad people.

"Don't even think about it. Even if I go to jail, I will not let you succeed! And don't even think about using me to threaten Xier!" After Bai Yulang said this, he knelt down in the hall and shouted loudly!

"I did hit him, but it was because he behaved inappropriately! Please understand!"

"Shut up! Do you still want to frame Lord Liang?" Without waiting for anyone to speak, Bai Yan spoke again sternly, then pulled his hand, "If you say this again, your father can't help you! Apologize quickly!"

Lord Wang looked at the people below and instantly understood something. His eyes moved between several people. Although he felt that Bai Yan's act of sacrificing his own son was shameful, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, it’s not the officials fighting here, so it doesn’t matter to him. He just needs to turn a blind eye, and the rest has nothing to do with him.

"Apologize? Dream on!" Bai Yulang's eyes were burning and his attitude was firm, which made Bai Yan look disappointed.

This also made Liang Kang, who was lying on the stretcher pretending to be weak, even more angry. "Originally, I was not going to bother with you because of my relationship with the Bai family, but seeing that you are so stubborn and unwilling to repent, this matter will not end.

Please enforce the law impartially, Lord Wang!

"This..." Lord Wang glanced at the Bai family's expression and asked symbolically, "Are you also testifying for Lord Liang?"

Bai Yulang looked at Bai Qianyi and An. Although he had seen their faces clearly before, he still held a glimmer of hope for the family he had always valued.

Bai Qianyi only glanced at him once, then quickly looked away and hid behind An.

"Lord Liang did come to our house as a guest. He might have drunk some wine that day, so he got lost. But breaking into the boudoir is simply a fantasy!" said An.

Bai Qianyi also nodded in agreement.

Bai Yulang smiled self-deprecatingly, but didn't say anything else.

Lord Wang seemed to have known the result long ago. With a dignified look on his face, he said loudly, "Now that the truth has been revealed, Bai Yulang not only beat up the imperial official, but also tried to frame others by making a false accusation. He will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane on the spot and imprisoned in the prison. After he recovers, we will discuss the length of his imprisonment together!
Does anyone else have any objection? " Lord Wang said, but he looked at Liang Kang and Bai Yan, intending to ask.

Bai Yan hesitated and frowned, then looked at Bai Yulang again, "Are you really going to be so stubborn? This prison is dark and damp. If you get hurt and stay there, you will have no regrets! I am your father, how can I harm you?"

"Then why do you want to harm Xier? Isn't she your child?" Bai Yulang said indifferently.

Bai Yan angrily threw his sleeves, "You are simply stubborn! I will teach you a lesson today!"

Upon seeing this, Lord Wang gave a look to the bailiffs, and several of them immediately stepped forward.

Bai Yulang stood straight, and he knew that with the Bai family's testimony and Lord Wang's protection, he would not be able to say anything polite, so he stopped talking. He just looked at the people present with a cold look, and took note of them one by one.

Just as the bailiff was about to hold Bai Yulang down for execution, a cold and urgent voice rang out, "Stop, I have objections!"

Bai Qianxi walked over quickly, the veil on her face fluttering slightly due to her rapid breathing, and the strands of hair on her forehead were a little messy.

"Why are you here?" Bai Yulang looked at her in surprise, with worry in his eyes, "Why do you look like this!"

Bai Qianxi just glanced at him lightly, then walked past him and stood in the lobby.

"Who are you to openly break into the government office?"

"I am the fifth daughter of the Bai family, Bai Qianxi! I am also the party involved in this matter."

Bai Qianxi glanced at the people in the hall and said calmly, "Since Lord Wang is enforcing the law impartially, shouldn't you listen to what the parties involved have to say?"

Lord Wang frowned: "What else do you have to say?"

Bai Yan knew something was wrong and scolded, "What are you doing here? After something like this happened, you are shameless for not staying at home and waiting to get married!"

"Who is the shameless one? Father, don't you dare let me tell the truth?"

Bai Yan dodged his gaze: "The truth is right in front of us..."

"Yes, the truth is right in front of us." Bai Qianxi sneered: "You said that this man was drunk and took the wrong road, but he arrived in my courtyard at the time of Xu, but the Bai family usually eats at around 3:30 of You. How could he get so drunk in less than half an hour!"

"Besides, if it is true as father said, that Lord Liang is a distinguished guest invited by father, then there must be someone serving him. How could they allow Lord Liang to wander around the mansion alone?" Bai Qianxi pointed out the suspicious point in one sentence.

Bai Yan tried to argue: "Maybe the servant left for something..."

Before he could finish, Bai Qianxi interrupted him: "Let's not talk about how there is only one servant serving the distinguished guest. Sir Liang walked all the way from your main courtyard where you entertain guests to my courtyard. In such a large mansion, not a single servant passed by and saw him?"

After that, she faced Lord Wang and said, "Your Excellency can go to the mansion to investigate. Even if a servant does not recognize the guest and sees a strange man wandering around the backyard, he will definitely remind the man and guide him back to the main courtyard."

"But Lord Liang managed to avoid so many servants and find his way to my yard. Is it really a coincidence?"

"This... Lord Liang is just drunk and lost his way..."

"If he hadn't barged into my yard, how could my third brother beat up an imperial official for no reason?"

Bai Qianxi was also certain that although Bai Yan wanted to marry her to Liang Kang, he knew exactly what kind of person this son-in-law would be and would definitely not instruct his servants in advance.

No matter how much Bai Yan despised her daughter, she still had to save some face.

Bai Qianxi raised her eyebrows and looked at Bai Qianyi: "By the way, my sister came to give me bird's nest last night, remember?"
