Chapter 138: 138 My parents are going to abandon me
"If you don't offer gold, will your house be ransacked?"
Bai Kaixin's eyes widened, and he felt extremely angry. He straightened up and said, "If this is the case, why does Lingling still want to enter the palace?"
"The emperor has treated our family this way, why would he send a daughter to him for free?"
The timing of the emperor's collection of gold happened to be coincident with Bai Kaixin marrying Ren Youyang and Bai Lingling entering the palace. This is really something worth pondering.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Mrs. Bai's mouth, she gently rubbed her daughter's hand with her face, and said: "It is the master's wish to donate gold. The emperor did not force us." [
"Oh?" After hearing what Mrs. Bai said, Bai Kaixin couldn't understand it at all: "Why?"
Mrs. Bai stood up and faced Bai Kaixin, looking at her seriously.
"Have you ever heard that a common man is not guilty but a man with a jade in his possession is guilty?"
"The Bai family enjoys royal privileges, makes a lot of money, and receives good rewards. Although they have always been protected by the royal family, they have always attracted jealousy."
"One of the two daughters became a princess and the other entered the palace, which puts your father at the forefront."
Madam Bai frowned, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and sighed: "The Bai family is already at the pinnacle of glory and cannot advance any further, but if we want to retreat, with so much wealth, the emperor will never rest assured."
"Instead of doing this, why not spend all your family wealth and donate it to the emperor in order to seek peace." There was a hint of cunning in Mrs. Bai's eyes.
Bai Kaixin understood, if you can't advance, why not retreat with dignity and dignity? This has always been the most effective way to advance and retreat in officialdom.
"So, in order to reassure the emperor, you not only dedicated all your property to him, but also dug out the gold from the walls and furniture and dedicated it to him?" Bai Kaixin suddenly felt very admired by Bai Qi and Mrs. Bai.
"Then you have to offer it thoroughly," Mrs. Bai smiled slightly.
"So be happy and don't worry about us!"
"Mom, what are you going to do in the future?" Bai Kaixin said again.
"The master promised me to take me to travel around the countries to fulfill my dream when I was young," Mrs. Bai's beautiful face glowed with a faint blush.
