Chapter 861 Feeling Uneasy

"Yes, fifth brother, just listen to mother. Sister Wen is the most powerful person in our family. With her by your side, I guarantee that none of those monsters, ghosts, and snakes will be able to get close to you."

He and his mother must be lucky, otherwise how could they meet someone as powerful as Sister Wen?

After listening to the two people's suggestions, Xiao Wu was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's finish the matter in Liang County later and I'll ask Sister Wen to come back immediately."

The purpose of his trip to Liang County was the salt wells. The illegal salt market was rampant there, and there was also gang warfare involved, which was indeed a bit tricky.

Wenyou looked at Bai Yunxi's worried expression and spoke softly,

"Aunt Bai, don't worry, I will protect fifth brother and won't let anything happen to him."

She doesn't have to go to other institutes for training every day. She only needs to assign training homework regularly and check the results after a while. Those who fail to complete will be punished, and those who lag behind will be eliminated directly.

After the discussion, everyone went down to prepare individually. Baiyun Xi felt at peace. After washing, she had a solid sleep. When I wake up the next day, I continue to be busy.

For a while, everyone was busy doing their duties. Three days later, Xiao Wu went to inspect, and the government officials cleared the way, and the team was spectacular.

Wenyou followed closely, hiding in the dark, helping Xiao Wu pay attention to the surrounding situation.

Although Bai Yunxi was still worried, she also knew that there was nothing else she could do to help, so she could only keep herself busy and distract herself.

The construction team has been found, and there are many busy things every day. She and Xiaosi rush between home and Qianpo Village at two o'clock every day.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and half of the duck factory in Qianpo Village has been built. Apart from the initial safe letter sent back, there was no news from Xiaowu.

Bai Yunxi was anxious and looked forward to seeing her every day, but she couldn't make it too obvious and make her family worry.

But Xiao Si had always noticed the way she occasionally wandered off, and he was equally worried.

"Mom, why don't we find someone to ask? We are family members. The fifth brother has not come back. It is normal for the family to be worried."

After listening to Xiao Si's suggestion, Bai Yunxi was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"It's definitely not appropriate to go to the Yamen and ask. After all, Xiao Wu is out on inspection for a public inspection. Didn't Xiao Wu say that before departure? It will take about half a month, and he didn't say that he would be back in half a month."

"Although I can't go to the government office to ask questions, I can go to the Wu family. Mr. Wu, as the general judge, can't hide anything about the political affairs of the city."

"Why don't you visit Wu An? Okay, okay, Mom, just ask somewhere. The Wu family is my godfather's aunt, so she won't hide any news from us."

With the plan in mind, Baiyun Xi immediately prepared a hand sticker and sent it to Wu's house for a visit tomorrow.

When you come to visit, you have to prepare souvenirs. Baiyunxi asked Du to help pack some earthen rituals brought from his hometown.

On the morning of the next day, Bai Yunxi went to Wu's house with a souvenir, just like the last time he came to the banquet. As soon as he got off the carriage, the woman guarding the door greeted him.

"Old slave, please send your regards to Yiren. My Anren has been waiting for a long time. Please come here."

Bai Yunxi nodded and turned to look at Mrs. Zhu.

After getting the master's signal, Mrs. Zhu immediately took out a purse and stuffed it into her hands.

"If you'd like, please wait for me at the door. I'll invite you to drink tea and warm your belly."

"Oh, you're so polite. It's all my responsibility."

While they were talking, several people came to the door of the Second Courtyard. When Wu Anren saw Baiyunxi, he stepped forward to greet her. Just as he was about to salute, Baiyunxi held his hand.

"I'm causing trouble for you by interrupting."

"Look at what you said. I was so happy to receive the pleasant sticker. You are a rare visitor."

Listening to Wu Anren's teasing, Bai Yunxi smiled helplessly.

"I made you laugh. You also know that I come from the countryside. I have a straightforward temper and can easily offend people with my words. You are the only one here who can be shameless."

"Pfft~, why are you being polite to me? You can come to your door anytime you want. I wish I had someone to talk to."

Wu Anren couldn't help laughing when he heard her making fun of herself.

This person was right. Her merciless tone at the last banquet almost made Liang Gongren lose face. Although Liang Gongren behaved generously and carelessly, she also completely offended the Mu sisters.

After the last time, no one else dared to hold a banquet easily, for fear of accidentally offending someone and causing trouble.

Originally, when I had nothing to do in the back house, I would hold a tea party every now and then, invite women I knew well to the banquet, chat about clothes and jewelry, and make inquiries by the way, but now no one dares to start such a thing.

Wu Anren led Bai Yunxi to the hall and sat down. He waited for the girl to serve tea before speaking.

"It's getting colder. I'm afraid of the cold. I like cats in winter. I'm very lazy. I haven't gone out for a long time."

"My situation is different from yours. Although I have more leisure time in winter, I still have a lot of things to be busy with. So I just mess around. Fortunately, after An Sheng got married, my little daughter-in-law is a good hand at feeding, and I can finally Take a rest."

Bai Yunxi chuckled and echoed, thinking of Xiao Wu, she sighed again,

"An Sheng went on inspection, and I don't know when he will return. I don't understand government affairs, but I was worried, so I came to An for comfort."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's straightforward tone, Wu Anren was also stunned. She knew that Bai Yunxi had come to inquire about something, but she didn't expect that she would be so straightforward and get to the point right away.

Ordinarily, the so-called familiarity between them is all based on Brother Yu. Didn't expect that she trusted him so much?

Thinking of Yu'er's evaluation of this godmother, there are only four words.

Sincerity, kindness.

Looking at the person in front of her, Wu Anren suddenly felt funny. Her Yu'er was a smart person and always had a good judgement of people.

Not only Yu'er, but even her master had a good evaluation of the prefect.

At a young age, she was calm and self-disciplined, and she was a rare talent.

Unfortunately, she was too young and her experience was limited. If she wanted to grow up thoroughly, she would suffer some losses.

Listening to Wu Anren's voice, Bai Yunxi's heart sank, her face was worried, and she sighed softly.

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Anren. My five children were all good originally, but since their father passed away, they have changed to some extent, especially An Sheng, who is the youngest and has the greatest influence. He is not good at talking, but he is good at studying."

"As the old saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son and the people love the young children. I do feel more sorry for Brother Sheng. As a scholar from a poor family, I just hope that his career will be smoother."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Wu Anren was stunned. They are all mothers. When talking about the love for their children, they can naturally empathize.

"You don't have to worry too much. Officials go down for inspection once or twice a year. It's just routine work."
