Bai Yaoyu was born when the Bai Family had yet to seize power and rule the realm.
Thus, Bai Yaoyu followed his parents and endured hardship.
He also mingled in rural countryside life, possessing a rebellious character.
So, after all these years, his temper remained impulsive and aggressive.
Upon hearing Prince Kang’s words, Bai Yaoyu sneered disdainfully!
"You followed Uncle to study, but I haven’t seen you abide by etiquette much."
"Those affairs of having different women today and another tomorrow, aren’t you often engaged in such?"
"Is studying useful? Does it prevent you from being someone like you?!"
"Sixth brother became so withdrawn and odd because of lacking your company since childhood!"
Bai Yaoyu roared as if in fury, inch by inch with flames of wrath!
Princess Consort Kang was taken aback: "Yaoyu! Don’t speak !"
Prince Kang, even angrier, raised his hand and slapped Bai Yaoyu across the face.
With a "slap," everyone except Bai Yaoyu was startled.
Bai Yaoyu’s eyes flushed red, glaring at Prince Kang full of hatred.
He clenched his fists, fearing his impulsiveness, Fourth son Bai Daoyan hurriedly stepped forward and embraced him.
"Third Brother, calm down, Father’s mood is also bad today with these matters!"
Fifth Heir Bai Fengqing also pulled Bai Yaoyu’s hand: "Brother! Let’s head back first and let Father and Mother rest."
"He is not my father!" Bai Yaoyu shouted these words, his face red with anger, neck veins protruding.
Prince Kang breathed heavily in rage.
"Fine, fine, I’m not your father, you’ve grown capable now, your wings have hardened!"
"Bai Yaoyu, let me tell you, you always think highly of yourself, don’t you?"
"Then go attend Mingyang Academy, and if you can persist for a month! I’ll dismiss all the concubines immediately!"
"If you yourself can’t restrain yourself and can’t do anything right, don’t meddle in my affairs!"
"Can’t persist for a month, pack up and leave the Imperial Mansion, from then on, I’ll consider you as if you’re not my son!"
"Dare to make a bet!" Prince Kang’s eyes reddened.
Princess Consort Kang quickly rose from the bed and pulled him: "Why argue with a child, just say less, Daoyan, Fengqing, quickly lead your brother away."
Yet, Third Young Master Bai Yaoyu firmly decided to confront Prince Kang to the end!
He said loudly: "Fine, let’s bet! If I can’t last a month, I’ll leave on my own, no need for you to drive me out!"
After speaking, Bai Yaoyu shook off his two brothers’ tugging and stormed away swiftly.
Fourth son and Fifth Heir hurriedly bowed in farewell: "We will go persuade our brother, Father, Mother calm down."
Princess Consort Kang looked at her husband with a headache: "You really are..."
"Say what? He’s not the son, I am! Look at his attitude!"
Prince Kang, furious, swept his sleeves and walked away.
Princess Consort Kang wished to pursue, but unfortunately wasn’t feeling well and had to give up.
The earlier farce scared the maids and servants into not daring to breathe.
After a while, Qing Lan entered to refill tea, only to see Princess Consort Kang sitting dazedly on the bed, eyes looking blankly at the window.
"Princess Consort," Qing Lan softly comforted: "Don’t worry, Prince and Third Young Master have argued not for the first time, it’ll be fine once both calm down."
Princess Consort Kang shook her head.
"Qing Lan, that’s not what I’m worried about, actually before today, I had a dream."
"I dreamed of an identical situation today, when Second Aunt announced during dinner with the Prince that she was pregnant."
"When Yaoyu learned of this, he argued with the Prince, Second Aunt tried to mediate but was accidentally killed by Yaoyu."
"The dream felt vivid, just like today, Second Aunt lying in a pool of blood..."
Hence, she was momentarily stupefied today.
Though the process changed, Second Aunt died by her own hand.
Moreover, the dream didn’t involve Zhi’er’s visit.
Yet, Princess Consort Kang was still apprehensive.
Because at the end of the dream, Bai Yaoyu left home and never returned.
