Bai Ruozhu was stunned, what's going on here, does Second Brother have a nominal concubine now?
The men of the Bai Family don't take concubines; people in the Capital City knew that before, so what is this virtuous consort all about?
Later, Si Yihuan's words helped clarify things for her.
"Since His Majesty reclaimed the Jiang Mountain this time, some new nobility have emerged. My Grandpa, having temporarily taken charge of the court in Beiyu City before, has now been rewarded, but in fact, the Si Family is being suppressed by His Majesty. Many people don't want the Si Family to grow, and since Zepei and Xiaojiang from your family hold significant positions, some people can't sit still. Lao Wenshu is one of those new aristocrats."
As Si Yihuan spoke, her tears flowed more heavily. Bai Ruozhu quickly grabbed a handkerchief to wipe her tears, patting her back like comforting a child. After a while, Si Yihuan's emotions calmed somewhat.
