Chapter 882: Aunt
No matter this, whether he is sincere or fake, in short, his only destination is to return to his hometown to guard his ancestral home.
"Since you've made up your mind, I won't say any more. Just pack up and set off immediately."
When Xiao Si heard this, he immediately called for the convoy.
"Hurry up, pack everything up, we're leaving."
Bai Anchen got up by himself and stood beside him. Just as he was about to get on the carriage, he spotted a figure in a pink cloak standing behind the Moon Gate out of the corner of his eye.
That was his daughter Yaya. Seeing her well-behaved and quiet daughter staring at him, Bai Anchen paused, feeling very complicated.
If nothing else, Mrs. Du raised her daughter really well.
Seeing my daughter, I unconsciously thought of Zhou's son, Bai Chengwang.
At this moment, once he leaves, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him again in this life.
Thinking of this, Bai Anchen looked at his mother, hesitated, and couldn't help but ask.
"Mother, your grandson Bai Chengwang..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bai Yunxi waving his hand.
"The child has now changed his surname to Zhou. The child will follow the Zhou family and continue the incense of the Zhou family. This can be considered as compensation for your stay in their family for the past few years. But don't worry, within the scope of our ability, we should still help. As for the handle, don’t think too much about the rest.”
For the sake of her son, Mrs. Zhou would not take the initiative to contact them too much. After all, their identities were somewhat awkward.
Bai Anchen pursed his lips and nodded. He agreed to Zhou's request in order to return to the Bai family as soon as possible. After all, he was the one who took the initiative to push his son to Zhou. No one else could blame him.
It's all fate.
Bai Anchen smiled mockingly, said nothing, got into the carriage, and lowered the curtain.
Xiao Si organized the convoy and turned back. There was another person beside him, with scars at the corners of his eyes.
"Mom, Brother Cao Jian said he wants to go back to his hometown with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Jian bowed towards Baiyunxi.
"Thank you, old lady, for saving my life. I am willing to follow Fourth Master and never leave you."
Looking at Cao Jian, Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment. She had completely forgotten about this man.
"Your injuries have healed. Will the long journey affect you?"
"Back to the old lady, thanks to Fourth Master's care, she has recovered."
Bai Yunxi looked at him for a moment, then spoke softly,
"I don't think you are like ordinary people. We are just ordinary people. Are you really willing to follow us?"
After hearing Bai Yunxi's tone, Cao Jian's mouth trembled. How could a fifth-grade magistrate's mansion be an ordinary person?
"Don't worry, old lady. I was born in a rough place and have no fixed abode. Now that I have met the fourth master, I believe that this is a clear path pointed by God."
He was not qualified to be with the Fifth Master. The Fourth Master was a business genius and would be traveling all over the world in the future, so he was needed.
Listening to Cao Jian's thoughts, Bai Yunxi raised his eyebrows. This man was self-aware.
"It's okay if you come along voluntarily. If you can't stay any longer, let us know in advance so that we can get together and part ways."
"Thank you for your generosity, old lady. Although I am from a lowly background, I still know what is good and what is good. I am extremely grateful to the Bai family for being willing to take me in. I have nothing to repay in this life, only my life."
Bai Yunxi also knew a little about the loyalty of Jianghu people. Looking at the aura of this man, he must be someone with good skills. Since he stayed voluntarily, it was the best thing for Xiao Si.
"That's it, I'll leave it to you on the way."
The parting scene was somewhat sad. Bai Yunxi waved to Xiaosi and watched the man take the lead and drive away, his eyes a little bitter.
"Don't worry, mother, I'll send them out of the city." Xiao Wu called Shu Yuan, who had been waiting for a long time, took the reins from his hand, got on his horse, and chased after him.
Baiyunxi breathed a sigh of relief, held Du Shi's hand, and patted it gently.
"Let's all go back. They will be back after the Chinese New Year."
"Mom is right. When the second sister-in-law and the others come during the Chinese New Year, our family will be completely reunited."
Zhang Yishan echoed softly and asked Qingshan to clean the door before turning back. When I passed the Moon Gate, I saw my niece standing there in a daze.
"Ya Ya, what are you doing here on such a cold day? Hurry back with your aunt. I just asked you to make cakes, and I think you can eat them now."
The little girl's nose was red, and she didn't know whether it was from the cold or from crying.
Yaya looked up at her little aunt and nodded.
Zhang Yishan held her hand with loving eyes. This girl was also pitiful.
Baiyunxi sent away the maid and took Du Shi into the garden.
"Letting you make peace with the boss today is purely a temporary measure. You don't need to take it to heart. Your status in this family will not change whether there is a reconciliation or not."
"Mom, I know."
If it weren't for He Lishu, Bai Anchen would definitely work on her. She saw this, and so did everyone else.
"However, He Lishu is true. Later, I will ask the people in the palace to change the title. Let everyone call you auntie, and you can be my daughter from now on."
Bai Yunxi chuckled lightly and looked at Du Shi's red eyes.
"From now on, your status will be the same as An Jing's. If you meet someone suitable, my mother will give you advice to find a good husband."
Listening to her mother-in-law's tone, Mrs. Du's face turned red, "Mom, I have no intention of getting married again."
She dared to swear to God that she really had no idea of getting married again. Her mother-in-law reminded her many times, but she couldn't pass the test in her heart.
"Boss, that bastard is not good enough for you. Of course, mother can't hold you up for the rest of your life, but I'm not forcing you to marry. If you meet someone you meet, you can be bold and think about it."
At the age of 24, it would be too hard to be single for the rest of her life.
Mrs. Du blushed and dared not answer.
Her mother-in-law was not an ordinary person.
She had just divorced and she urged her to remarry.
After Xiao Si left, the house suddenly became much quieter and the weather became colder. There was a charcoal fire in the house and Bai Yunxi was too lazy to go out.
But thinking about the banquet she promised Wu Anren, she felt a little worried.
Just as she was thinking about what to do, Zhang Yisan came in with a note.
"Mother, this is a note from Deng Jingli's house."
Bai Yunxi was stunned. Deng family?
After opening the note and taking a look, she suddenly realized that she had seen the eldest lady of the Deng family and her daughter at the Wu family's chrysanthemum banquet.
"Visit in three days,"
The two families had no relationship, why did they come suddenly?
"I guess they think of our Fifth Master because he has done great things."
Madam Zhu poured a cup of tea for Zhang Yishan and chuckled. Their Fifth Master had cracked a big case of illegal salt, and it had spread all over the city. It was normal for someone to curry favor with him.
"Since they have come to your house on their own initiative, you can do whatever you want."
Although Mrs. Deng talked a lot, she was easy-going. When Mrs. Mu embarrassed her that day, Mrs. Deng helped.
Zhang Yishan nodded, "Okay."
It was just a visit between officials and their wives. Just receive them as usual.
In a blink of an eye, the day for Mrs. Deng to come to your house arrived.
