In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Chapter 688 Bai Chuyao stopped the Xu family and refused the marriage. No one should try to use his

So he is my brother-in-law?

Xu Wanrong immediately became curious. She quietly peeked out through the curtain and saw that there was indeed a handsome young man outside.

He looked to be no more than twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with a fair complexion, delicate features, and gentle yet clear eyes and brows, looking exactly like a civil official.

But I remember... Bai Chuyao must be almost 30 years old.

After all, Bai Chuyao and his wife have several children, and those children are all quite old.

My god, he is so handsome...

Xu Wanrong was stunned for a moment.

Bai Chuyao is so handsome, I really wonder how handsome and tall Bai Liezhao should be.

And I heard that Bai Chuyao doesn't know martial arts and is a civil official.

Bai Liezhao was a military commander, so he must be taller, more handsome, and stronger than him...

Thinking of this, Xu Wanrong blushed.

Xu Wanrong felt that she was not so resistant to Bai Liezhao anymore.

Forget it, let it be an arranged marriage.

Although she felt that she had wronged herself and her noble character had been worn away...

But it doesn’t matter, as long as Bai Liezhao is good-looking, I can tolerate anything!

At this time, the handsome scholar looked at Xu Wanrong. Bai Chuyao's eyes showed no expression, he just said coldly.

"This is Miss Wanrong, right?"

"Please get out of the car. My wife and I have something to say to you."

So, Old Madam Xu and Xu Wanrong got out of the car.

Xu Wanrong was a filial daughter and personally helped Old Madam Xu down.

Before he could bow to Bai Chuyao and say a word, or call him "big brother", he heard Bai Chuyao say calmly: "Lie Zhao's marriage is decided by the emperor, or at least by me, your eldest brother!"

"My biological mother died young, and my brothers and sisters and I are all blessed by my father, Bai Yansong, and his concubines... Therefore, I will definitely not let my brother listen to my father and make this marriage come true!"

"Also, I heard that Miss Xu has a good relationship with my father's concubine..."

Bai Chuyao glanced at Xu Wanrong and saw that her face was pale, so he said to himself: "So, my father can't make the decision, and Xie can't make the decision either."

"Old Madam, Miss Xu, I think I have made my words very clear. There is no need for me to repeat them again."

Old Madam Xu and Xu Wanrong's faces were very pale, and Aunt Xu beside them couldn't help but speak up for their daughter.

"But... Young Master Bai, if you say that, you are disobeying your father!"

"You know! Bai Yansong is the father of you, the eldest son, and Bai Liezhao, the second son."

"The parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, the marriage arranged by my father, how can it not count?"

Bai Chuyao sneered after hearing this and said, "You are a slave! You are not worthy to talk to me."

Madam Xu was so angry that she fell backwards. Then she heard Madam Xu say gloomily, "The eldest master is really arrogant!"

"A son can actually take care of your father's affairs!"

"Besides... they say that an elder brother is like a father. It is only after my father's death that you, as the elder brother, can keep your word!"

"Now... the emperor is far away. How can you use him as a cover? He doesn't even know about this marriage."

Bai Chuyao nodded. He glanced at Lin beside him, took Lin's hand, and said calmly.

"Then you can go and ask the Emperor Retired to see if he wants to grant Lie Zhao a marriage?"

Madam Xu was so angry that she almost died. She said resolutely: "This is absolutely not possible!"

"If the Emperor or His Majesty wants to do this, just let them come to me and say it in person!"

"Mr. Bai, you are just a brat, not even half my age... and you actually want to insult our Xu family? Our Wanrong?!"

"You have to know that Wanrong is the eldest daughter of our Xu family! Our Xu family has been a family of integrity for generations, and has served as Imperial Censors for generations. We are not so easily slandered!"

"You said you don't want to recognize this marriage?"

"You know! Our Wanrong's reputation will probably be ruined!"

Lin, who was standing next to him, felt her heart sink when she heard this.

Although the old lady from the Xu family spoke harshly, what she said... was indeed the truth.

I'm afraid Xu Wanrong's reputation will be ruined.

For a moment, even she couldn't help but hesitate and turned to look at Bai Chuyao beside her.

Then Bai Chuyao said calmly: "Bai Yansong did it on purpose. He took advantage of Lie Zhao's absence to quickly arrange a marriage for him so that he could control him!"

"Your Xu family naturally knows that our Bai family's father and son are not on the same page, but your Xu family still took advantage of my second brother's absence to collude with Bai Yansong and arrange this marriage... It's not because you value my brother's kindness, but because you want to cling to the wealth of the Bai family!"

"Since you are a family of civil servants and upright people, you should know whether you should get involved in these dirty things or not!!"

"...Since you want to get involved, you should know that there will be a price to pay."

"You would rather ruin the reputation of Miss Wanrong of the Xu family than get involved in the affairs of the Bai family and cling to their wealth. Don't blame us for being ruthless."

Maybe the prince and the emperor are still thinking, what if Bai Liezhao likes Xu Wanrong?

They thought that this marriage might be possible.

But if Bai Lu or Bai Chuyao were in charge of this matter, it would never succeed.

Because the marriage between the Xu family and Bai Liezhao...has ulterior motives.

Bai Chuyao was afraid that Bai Yansong would join forces with his daughter-in-law to control his second brother.

Today, Bai Yansong is no longer a qualified father.

Many things need to be considered carefully.

Besides, what good person wouldn’t meet his son-in-law before getting engaged?

The Xu family is too utilitarian.

Madam Xu was suddenly unable to utter a word.

Because Bai Chuyao was right, they had known all this for a long time.
