Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

"Have you seen your grandfather?"

Ouyang Shu pulled Song Yun to the side and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I did. After feeling his pulse, I found he wasn't seriously ill."

"Impossible! If he were not ill, everyone wouldn't have such a strong reaction!" Ouyang Shu frowned and said, "Could it be because of the trap that was set for me before…"

At that point, Ouyang Shu gave Song Yun an expression that meant more than words could say.

Song Yun's gaze sharpened, considering the possibility. According to the system's usual style, there would typically be a corresponding solution presented after facing real-life issues. This time, at the nursing home check-in, he was granted a mastery of Gu art. Could it be a sign that Old Master Bai had also been a victim of a Gu curse?

If it were true, it could stir up huge troubles!

"When the time comes, I'll accompany you. With my guarantee, that stubborn old man will definitely believe you."

After speaking, Ouyang Shu began to call everyone together.

Since the birthday celebration for Elder Ouyang was tomorrow, he originally wanted Song Yun and his group to stay at his house.

However, his expression changed upon hearing Bai Qiu say she wanted to return to the Bai Family.

Now, with the Bai Family going through troublesome times, would people think Bai Qiu was appearing only for the sake of the family fortune?

Seeing that Bai Qiu had made up her mind, he had no choice but to have someone drive them back to the Bai Family.

The Bai Family was among the thriving clans within Forty-nine City, boasting a large number of members, totaling over three hundred, including both the main lineage and all the branches.

While a prospering family suggested a thriving clan, internal power struggles in recent years had resulted in a continual decline in strength.

The ancestral Bai residence occupied an extensive area, with two stone lions standing proudly at the gate. As soon as Song Yun and company got out of the car, they found Bai Jingbing waiting at the entrance.

"Little Sister, Big Brother is at home right now, you must not get into an argument with him!"

As Bai Jingbing led them inside, he advised, "And you, Song Bu! I know you have quite a temper too. No matter what Big Brother says later, just pretend you didn't hear it. Once he's done venting, this will naturally blow over!"

"Got it, Uncle Two!"

Hearing this address made Song Yun's eyelid twitch—why did it sound so similar to what that kid Ouyang Jie called him, even the tone was identical! He finally understood how his Uncle Two must feel.

Along the way, there were many onlookers from the Bai Family, standing to the side and pointing fingers at Song Yun and his group as if they were watching monkeys in a zoo, which made Song Yun quite uncomfortable.

Right now, with Elder Bai in the nursing home, the one whose word was most effective at home was the eldest of the Bai Family main lineage, Bai Weiguo. As long as he was willing to put this old grievance aside, everything could be negotiable.

Upon reaching the Bai ancestral home's reception hall, sitting in the seat of honor was an imposing middle-aged man with a square face dressed in a Sun Yat-sen suit. One could tell at a glance that this man had held an important position for many years.

Even without speaking, his imposing and commanding presence was enough to make many feel uncomfortable.

"Little Sister has returned."

Bai Weiguo greeted her coldly, before his eyes shifted toward Song Bu.

"Song Bu! You had quite the nerve back then, daring to abduct my little sister for over twenty years! How shall we settle this account?"

Bai Weiguo's voice was stern as he scolded, "As a man, stand up and take responsibility! Don't be hiding behind your woman all the time, pretending to be tough!"

Song Bu walked forward with an unruffled air, looking Bai Weiguo in the eye without backing down.

He spoke slowly, "How can a consensual love be called abduction? If Qiu'er had not left with me back then, wouldn't she just be sacrificing herself for the family now, turned into a tool for marriage alliances?"

My goodness!

Song Yun was shocked to hear this, his old man was being way too tough!

To think this was at the Bai Family! The home turf of others!

Have you forgotten the instructions from your second uncle just now?

Song Yun sneaked a glance at Bai Jingbing, indeed!

Bai Jingbing now seemed very frustrated, watching the situation on the field turning into sparks hitting the earth, yet they had no reason to intervene.

You have to admit, Bai Weiguo's use of reverse psychology was brilliant!

"I'm just asking you one thing! Did Qiu'er leave with you?! Did our family agree to it?!"

"We're in a free love relationship, no one's consent is needed!"

Mother of God!

To tell the truth, Song Yun had never seen his old man show such a tough side from childhood to adulthood!

"Fine, fine, fine, a cooked duck is left only with a stiff mouth! If this is the case, just get lost! Bai Qiu's household registration is moved back to the Bai Family!"

Bai Weiguo slammed the table and roared.

But Song Bu remained the same, neither angry nor flustered.

He took two steps forward, his eyes blazing as he said, "Since Qiu'er has married me, she is my woman for life. Bai old man, you may have a high position and great power, but I'm not afraid of you! You just want to vent the anger in your heart and regain face for the Bai Family, right? Draw a line, and I'll take on everything!"

At these words, Bai Jingbing sighed deeply, and Bai Weiguo stood up, clapped his hands in praise, and said, "Worthy of the man who once made a name for himself in Forty-nine City! I hereby announce that Song Bu, for abducting a lady from the Bai Family for over twenty years, will have a family court today to execute the family law!"

The onlookers had various expressions in their eyes, some with sympathy, others with schadenfreude, as it had been many years since anyone had seen family law carried out, and there was a good show today!

Bai Qiu stepped forward and stood in front of Song Bu, saying firmly, "Big brother, I followed Song Bu of my own volition back then. If you have to beat someone, beat me first!"

"Nonsense!"

Bai Weiguo pointed at Bai Qiu, frustrated to the core, and said, "Haven't you brought enough shame to the Bai Family all these years?! Get out of the way right now!"

"No! I'm married now, alive I am a person of the Song Family, dead I will be a ghost of the Song Family!"

"You, you, you!"

Bai Weiguo was in a difficult spot; family law was usually targeted at male clan members, who had to strip to the waist and embrace a wooden stake while enduring different degrees of whipping.

But now, his own sister had stepped in, and the authority he had built up over many years in the clan was in jeopardy!

"Song Bu, you now have two choices. The first is to accept the family law, and then I will act as if all this never happened. The second, you can get out! Bai Qiu divorces you from today! I can still manage to arrange this divorce certificate!"

Song Bu wrapped his arms around Bai Qiu's waist and said with a smile, "Don't worry, owing so many years of punishment without interest is good enough. Your husband has the Divine Protection Skill, I won't die!"

Bai Qiu knew that the elder in the clan who carried out the family law was a tough character, a former Chief Instructor of a million imperial troops, who always followed at her father's side as an authoritative figure.

Especially his mastery of the whip, no matter what magic powers the punished had, within three strikes, they would always cry and beg for mercy.

"Open the family court, execute the family law!"

"Open the family court, execute the family law!"

The call was passed from one Bai Family member to another.

Suddenly, there was uproar outside!
