?Chapter 384: Chapter 381: Becoming a Problem When Overdone_1 Chapter 384: Chapter 381: Becoming a Problem When Overdone_1 The exquisite elm-wood carriage with green frames had bright lamps hanging from its four corners. The flickering light illuminated Bai Qingyan’s eyes, making them seem deep as water, alternating between bright and dark.
“I’ve often heard that cornering a dog in a dead end will make it bite back. No need to kill them all; achieving the goal suffices. Don’t push them to desperation. If they’re pushed too hard, they might fight to the death, which doesn’t benefit us,” Bai Qingyan patiently explained to Bai Jinzhi.
The primary purpose of Bai Qingyan escalating the situation was to win the people’s hearts and to train soldiers while suppressing bandits.
Now that the goal had been achieved, and some of the useful clan members remained for her use, why not make use of them?
It is said that those with nothing to lose fear nothing; if their path is cut off, they might act recklessly. Bai Qingyan didn’t fear… just didn’t want to be distracted by minor issues.
Bai Jinzhi frowned. She understood but couldn’t help retorting, “Eldest Young Lady, you’re looking too highly of them. What can those people do to our family? Leaving them in the clan… it’s infuriating! It’s more straightforward to expel them!”?
“How can you still be so rash even though you’ve grown up?” Bai Qingyan wasn’t angry; her voice carried amusement. “When we return to Shuoyang, we will need the clan’s people. Expelling them isn’t beneficial to us! Now that we’ve gained the people’s hearts, it paves the way for future military training, and this amount of silver doesn’t come from the Bai family treasury. Isn’t this good?”?
Bai Jinzhi thought for a moment. It seemed to be true…
“Even though I ordered no assistance to the expelled, blood ties remain. Can they watch their family suffer without helping? We made our stance clear… If they err knowingly and we have evidence, it would be easy to deal with them later.”?
