Chapter 577: Chapter 574: Bylaws_1

Bai Qingyan gently stroked Madam Dong’s arm. "Grandmother, I have already sent someone to invite Uncle. This matter... is not without room for maneuver. It depends on how Uncle wants to handle it."

Dong Qingyue rushed in upon hearing the news. As soon as he entered, his sharp gaze fell on Dong Tingzhi. Dong Tingzhi hurriedly lowered her head, too scared to even breathe, let alone plead for herself.

"Take her out first!" Dong Qingyue ordered Nanny Wang. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}

Nanny Wang nodded in agreement and had Dong Tingzhi taken out.

After bypassing the screen, Dong Qingyue first greeted Madam Dong and then sat down. "I have already heard about the situation. The solution is simple. Send Dong Tingzhi away tonight and claim she died suddenly in the night. The Crown Prince would not want a dead person!"

After all, she was his flesh and blood. How could Dong Qingyue bear to truly take Dong Tingzhi’s life? Sending her away was like she never existed.

"Uncle, if you act like this, the Crown Prince will be suspicious. Why would you rather see Tingzhi dead than let her enter the Crown Prince’s residence? Once the Crown Prince becomes wary of you, he might set traps for you at the court, especially now when the Emperor is obsessed with alchemy and has entrusted the state affairs to the Crown Prince. You should be extremely cautious with the Crown Prince," Bai Qingyan said.

Dong Qingyue closed his eyes. "This is her own sin to bear. If she wants to enter the Crown Prince’s residence, then let her go! From this moment on, she is no longer a daughter of the Dong family!"

"Will the Crown Prince think the same? Will the Emperor? As long as Dong Tingzhi leaves the Dong Mansion as your daughter, she will always be associated with the Dong family. Others will see her as your daughter and associate her with the Dengzhou Army!" Madam Dong slammed the Buddha Beads on the table. "The hateful thing is that this girl understands this very well. It is precisely because she understands that she wants to step on you and the Dengzhou Army to pave her own future. With such a mindset, entering the Crown Prince’s residence... she will become a major threat to the Dong family."

Madam Dong spoke anxiously and began to cough. "Changlan sacrificed his life for the survival of the Dong family. Under no circumstances can we let it be destroyed by a girl who only seeks personal gain!"

"Mother... it is my fault for not teaching Tingzhi well. Please do not worry!" Dong Qingyue immediately stood up and handed a teacup to Madam Dong. However, the breathless Madam Dong pushed it away. Dong Qingyue had no choice but to pass the tea to Bai Qingyan, signaling his granddaughter to comfort Madam Dong.

"Grandmother, please have some tea." Bai Qingyan gently stroked Madam Dong’s back and handed her the tea.

"Don’t expect Kid to stand up for you!" Madam Dong glared at her son and took the teacup. "Let me make this very clear. Dong Tingzhi is short-sighted and solely focused on her own fame and fortune. She has a narrow mind... incapable of true familial love and honor. If she enters the Crown Prince’s residence, everyone in the Dong family will become her stepping stone. Think about your sons who would sacrifice their lives for the Dong family!"

Dong Qingyue clenched his fist tightly at his side. After a moment, he seemed to make up his mind and relaxed. "Mother, do you have a plan?"

Madam Dong set her teacup on the square table. Under the bright lamp, her eyes were dark and deep, yet burning brightly. "Tomorrow morning, send that Aunt Liu and Dong Tingzhi out of the Dong Mansion. Just say that there have been rumors that Dong Tingzhi is not your biological daughter, and I, as an old woman, have investigated and confirmed it. With Changlan just gone and the family needing peace, I decided to send this mother and daughter away!"

Madam Dong’s meaning was clear. By driving them out, they would be left to fend for themselves. If the Crown Prince still wishes to bring her into the Eastern Palace, she would no longer have any ties to Dong Qingyue!
