Chapter 105: Chapter 104: A Moment of Peace_1

As he spoke, Mr. Gu suddenly stood up and rushed toward the solid wood offering table in the mourning hall.

“Mr. Gu!” Bai Jinxiu widened her eyes, spreading her arms to stop Mr. Gu, but was knocked down along with him.

The mourning hall instantly descended into chaos, with some pulling Mr. Gu and others helping Bai Jinxiu up.

The common people were incited to righteous indignation.

“The National Duke Mansion is too unfortunate! How can they not give the widow of the National Duke any way to live? In one day, they almost forced the deaths of two people from the National Duke Mansion! What kind of retribution is this? Is the clan not afraid of heavenly punishment?!”

“Bah! Shameless! The National Duke Mansion is having such a major funeral, and the clan doesn’t send someone to help the widow and orphans. Instead, they act like bandits to seize the family property!”

...

“Truly insatiable greed! The National Duke Mansion gives half of its annual income to the clan. Which family is this generous?! I think it’s because the Duke was too kind-hearted, which made those heartless people only greedier, bringing such a disaster upon the widow of the National Duke.”

“I think they just bully the National Duke Mansion because there are no men left! The men of the National Duke Mansion died for the country and the people. How can this shameless clan dare to bully the widow?!”

Seeing the public’s anger, Bai Qiyun took two steps back and stood with his two secondary cousins, clearly frightened and losing his composure by the earlier “Duke’s spirit manifestation.”

“What is this commotion?!”

Mrs. Dong, the wife of the Princely Heir of the National Duke Mansion, entered the mourning hall slowly, supported by Bai Qingyan. Mrs. Dong’s matronly authority was imposing.

“With such a commotion, do you want to alarm the Eldest Princess?!”

Mr. Gu, filled with guilt, heavily kowtowed, “Princely Heir’s wife! This old servant didn’t speak words of loyalty and righteousness. This old servant is not fit to be a servant of the National Duke Mansion!”

Mrs. Dong walked up to the tearful Mr. Gu and lifted him, saying, “Why say such things, Mr. Gu? Your family has served the National Duke Mansion from my great-grandfather’s generation. You’ve all worked diligently for generations! How could I not know that?”

“Princely Heir’s wife!” Mr. Gu’s eyes filled with tears, and he choked with emotion.

“Although the National Duke Mansion had to sell off the family assets to buy fields for the clan and repair the ancestral hall, ancestral temple, ancestral tombs, and school this time, here I, Mrs. Dong, swear that I will support the loyal servants and household slaves of the National Duke Mansion with all my dowry. As long as I have food, no one in the National Duke Mansion will go hungry.”

“Princely Heir’s wife!”

“Princely Heir’s wife!”

The servants and household slaves of the Bai Clan all knelt, grateful for Mrs. Dong’s kindness. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
