1116 Speechless
When Bai Wuchen saw that Xue Fanxin was hesitating and feeling conflicted, he felt that there was a chance she would change her mind and waited for the good news. Unexpectedly, what he received was Xue Fanxin’s order to leave. “Are you done? If you’re done, please leave. I’m very busy and don’t have time to waste with you.”
Hearing this, Bai Wuchen was a little angry, but no matter how angry he was, he had to bear with it. He only asked anxiously, “Ninth Imperial Consort, don’t you care about the lives of those innocent people from the Bai family at all?”
“Bai Wuchen, please don’t speak in such a self-righteous tone. Don’t speak as if those people are all my responsibility. I’m not from your Bai family and don’t have any friendship with you. I don’t have any responsibility or obligation to do anything for your Bai family. They’re innocent, but there are many innocent people in the world. Am I supposed to be responsible for all of them?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“No matter what you mean, I said that I wouldn’t interfere with the four great families. Don’t try to use my kindness to benefit your Bai family. If your Bai family really wants to protect those innocent people, you can hand over your financial resources, authority, and power to the Ye royal family. I believe that as long as you do this, the Ye royal family won’t make things too difficult for you. Ignoring everything else, survival is very easy.”
Bai Wuchen was originally quite self-righteous and felt that he was in the right, but after hearing Xue Fanxin’s words, he was suddenly speechless.
Xue Fanxin did not care about Bai Wuchen’s feelings and continued speaking, “Your Bai family can’t bear to hand over those worldly possessions, but you want to protect everything. How can there be such a good thing in the world? No matter if you helped the Empress willingly or by force, this is your Bai family’s own business. Please don’t force the responsibility your Bai family should bear onto me. I have no obligation to be responsible for the lives of those people from your Bai family. If your Bai family values wealth and power more than the lives of those innocent people, then don’t speak so pompously for your selfishness in front of me.”
There were indeed innocent people in the Bai family, but so what? If the Bai family did not care about the lives of those innocent people, why should she care?
In the beginning, the ordinary people present felt that Bai Wuchen made sense. After all, some people from the Bai family were really innocent.
However, after hearing Xue Fanxin’s retort, they completely understood and were angry at the Bai family’s unreasonable actions.
Just as the Ninth Imperial Consort had said, if your Bai family wanted to protect the lives of those innocent people, you could have used money and power to exchange for them. Why should the Ninth Imperial Consort protect you?
The Bai family wanted to live, but they also wanted to protect their wealth and power. To put it bluntly, they were greedy and selfish, attempting to use the Ninth Imperial Consort to seek benefits for themselves.
“Brother, forget it. Let’s go back.” Bai Shuiling had not said a word and did not dare to speak carelessly. But now, she really could not stand it anymore. She gently tugged at Bai Wuchen’s sleeve, hoping that he would leave.
The Ninth Imperial Consort was right. They had no right or authority to impose the Bai family’s responsibilities on the Ninth Imperial Consort. That was their Bai family’s business and it had nothing to do with the Ninth Imperial Consort.
Bai Wuchen also understood these principles, but he really did not want to give up. If the Bai family handed over their wealth and power, their strength would plummet. At that time, any force in the Tongxuan Continent with a little strength could destroy their Bai family.
Just as Bai Wuchen was hesitating, the Bai family head suddenly walked over. “The Bai family is willing to hand over 90% of their wealth and power. I only hope that the Ninth Imperial Consort can treat my son’s legs. As for the treatment fees, my Bai family will definitely pay.”
Just as the Bai family head finished speaking, another young man jumped out and said anxiously, “Father, no, we can’t hand over the Bai family’s wealth and power. We don’t even know if the Ninth Imperial Consort can treat Wuchen’s legs. Why should we pay for his treatment?”
