Finally, Bai Chi ran away nervously, holding a few books.

The little face was slightly red, and the little heart was beating fast. Zhong Yunxiao stared at the door for a long time, unable to recover.

Even after Bai Chi had gone out and disappeared, he was still looking at the door, as if his eyes could turn.

"Master, is it really okay for you to keep fishing like this?"

Xiao Hei looked at Zhong Yunxiao opposite him, then looked back at his master and returned to normal. His face was no longer red, his heart was no longer pounding, and he could even read ten lines at a glance.

This is indeed the difference between having confidence and not having confidence. The owner knows that her husband can't escape and is not worried at all.

On the other hand, Zhong Yunxiao probably has two little people pulling at him madly in his head.

One said that this was his younger brother's widow and he should not overstep the boundaries and be greedy.

One said that this is the person you love, and if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

If this was someone else's widow, he probably wouldn't be so conflicted.

"Master, I was bored just now and went to read some gossip about other people's families. I found that it is not uncommon for the younger brother to marry the sister-in-law after the older brother dies. In many cases, the parents-in-law arrange the marriage right after the older brother dies."

Xiao Hei loves gossip the most. He can be found wherever there is gossip. But he listens to gossip in a very secretive way and no one can find out.

"How come your husband is so timid that even your parents-in-law don't know what he's thinking."

Bai Chi was at a loss for words: "Don't look at those nonsense, be careful not to get stupid."

"I'm just worried about you, Master."

This is the only time it knows that its owner and her husband have known each other for such a long time but have not yet been together.

Bai Chi shook his head helplessly, too lazy to pay attention to it, and let Xiao Hei mutter to himself and give all kinds of advice to his master.

Just as Bai Chi and Zhong Yunxiao's relationship escalated and they tried hard to restrain themselves, the New Year arrived.

It was so cold this winter, and Bai Chi was thinking about going to the next yard to flirt with Zhong Yunxiao all day long, so he didn't even think about going out.

It was not until the day before New Year's Eve that Xiao Tao inadvertently mentioned that when she went out with the housekeeper to buy things two days ago, she seemed to have seen Bai Chi's parents again.

However, the two were thrown out of an alley, and someone threatened them that if they did not pay back the money quickly, their daughter would be sold.

The surroundings were very chaotic at the time, and Xiaotao was called away by the housekeeper after listening to a few words.

"Second Young Master Madam, you have a younger sister at home?"

Xiao Tao briefly talked about her encounter with the two gamblers, and then asked carefully and pretended to be casual.

Bai Chi nodded slightly: "Yes, I have a younger brother and a younger sister."

Xiaotao hesitated to speak, but did not continue.

Bai Chi could see that Xiao Tao was worried that his sister would be sold. After all, she was a girl herself and knew that those vicious people did not seem like good people. If she was really sold, it would probably not be a good place.

But she herself was just a servant of the Zhong family, and the eldest young master had just issued an order a few days ago, forbidding those two people to approach the Zhong family.

It took a lot of courage for her to muster up the courage to bring it up like this.

Unfortunately, Bai Chi didn't react at all. No matter what happened to his brother or sister, it had nothing to do with him from the moment the original owner died.

In fact, after the original owner died, the fate of those people would not be much better than it is now. Some would have their hands chopped off, and some would be sold off. There would be no difference.

However, Xiao Tao's reminder did pull him back a little from his enthusiasm for hooking up with his uncle. Yes, there was still a whole family of people waiting for him to deal with.

I went out for a walk and found that Zhong Yunxiao was not at home.

It's the end of the year, and the Zhong family doesn't want to be too busy because the second young master hasn't passed his seventh day of mourning yet, but they still have a lot of business to do.

Especially this year, account books from all over the place were delivered, and Zhong Yunxiao still had to take time to check the situation in the medicinal fields. Despite his busy schedule, he would still talk to Bai Chi every day.

It can be said that he is busy every day, but he has not forgotten to tell the housekeeper not to ignore the affairs of Bai Chi.

However, even though Zhong Yunxiao's special instructions were actually a bit over the line, no one in the Zhong family felt that the relationship between the eldest uncle and his sister-in-law was a little too close?

In addition to the fact that both of them are men, which makes it less likely for people to misunderstand them, the Zhong family unanimously believes that they must marry Bai Chi just because of his fate.

Being nice to the 'noble person' is being nice to the Zhong family themselves, isn't that normal?

So, when Bai Chi knew that Zhong Yunxiao was not at home, he still entered his yard and went to his study.

Even when he changed a few books and left a note, no one thought that his behavior of entering and leaving the young master's study was a bit too free.

There are account books in the study. Even if someone accompanies me when I go there, it doesn’t seem appropriate, right?
