"Has anyone ever praised Bai Fu? Ever praised Bai Fu for raising such a good son? I think they must be grateful, but hasn't it been said that Bai Fu did something to betray him?"
"Now that you mention it, it really seems possible. Wasn't Bai Fu particularly biased before? He only cared about his eldest son the Scholar, making the second son's family serve them tirelessly."
"Isn't that right? Don't you remember that Bai Yibo got drunk and scribbled insults, saying he would kill Bai Yihong's family? If it were my son behaving like that, I'd have broken his legs. But Bai Fu still sided with Bai Yibo back then and didn't punish him."
