Chapter 388 - 388 385 Grave Digging_1
?Chapter 388: 385 Chapter: Grave Digging_1 Chapter 388: 385 Chapter: Grave Digging_1 The second convoy was even more impressive than the first one. Nearly a hundred tall carriages loaded with goods were covered with oilcloth and tied securely with hemp rope, so tightly that not a wisp of the contents could be seen. The people of Dadu City gossiped incessantly, speculating that the Bai family of Dadu City might be sending back the dowries of all the ladies to Shuoyang and were not planning to return.
When the ladies entered the Bai family back then, whose dowry was not a grand procession of red makeup stretching for ten miles, carried for an entire day nonstop?

It was said that her dowry deliberately restrained itself from overshadowing Mrs. Dong, the wife of the Princely Heir. Yet, Madam Qi secretly gave numerous estates and profitable properties from the Qi family to her daughter, fearing she might not have a comfortable life in the Bai family.
As the people lined the roads to see off the grand Bai family convoy, guarded by the Bai Mansion’s escort army, they sighed deeply. The once-glorified Bai family of Dadu, honored since the era of their ancestor, ended up leaving Dadu City in such a dismal state after the death of King of Zhen, Bai Weiting, and all the men of the Bai Mansion wrapped in horse leather.
The news in Dadu City was always more current than elsewhere. Everyone knew that General Zhang Duanrui had recently returned from the southern borders and soon led troops to Chunmu Mountain.
Once, the presence of the Bai family in the Duke of Zhen mansion kept Daliang in check for ten years, deterring them from attacking. Now that King of Zhen, Bai Weiting, had just passed away, Daliang began to stir restlessly. Even though there was still Princess of Zhen, Bai Qingyan, in Jin, they probably took it lightly because Princess of Zhen was a woman.
