But Xiao Hei didn't say this.

Although he had to take care of it, Bai Chi still had a good sleep first. There was nothing to do that night, so he went to bed early and woke up early, waking up at dawn.

There is a charcoal fire in the room, so I have no difficulty getting up. I can sleep well every day and it's quite comfortable.

The most important thing is that this opportunity is rare, so you have to enjoy it.

Bai Chi had breakfast as usual and went to pay her respects to her parents-in-law. When she came back, Zhong Yunxiao was already waiting at the gate of her courtyard. When she saw Bai Chi, she walked over.

"Why are you so early today?"

In fact, it was only about a quarter of an hour earlier than usual.

"Brother, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that my parents scolded me for being unfilial. I wanted to go back to see them, but I didn't go back during the Chinese New Year. I don't know how they are doing."

He acted as if he had no idea that the two men were still in jail.

Xiao Hei in the space was full of admiration. His master's ability to pretend to be stupid was becoming more and more perfect.

But what I admire even more is that the hostess can tell lies with her eyes open, but her husband can cover his ears and listen to the lies.

Zhong Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, I'm free tomorrow, so I'll go back with you tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, big brother!"

The bright smile made even the gloomy weather seem brighter, and Zhong Yunxiao was a little obsessed with it.

Bai Chi pretended not to know that his parents were still in prison, even though it was Zhong Yunxiao who had said in front of him that he would send them to prison.

After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, someone stopped his own son to ask for money, so it can't be considered robbery, right?

I guess everyone thought so, and they all thought that Zhong Yunxiao was just trying to scare the greedy couple so that they would not continue to cause trouble for Bai Chi.

Incandescent can also think so.

Zhong Yunxiao also thought that Bai Chi thought so.

So after promising to take Bai Chi back to her parents' home tomorrow, she quickly arranged for people to go to the prison to rescue the old couple and send them home.

Bai Chi saw his little movements and gave him instructions for a long time. It seemed that he had a lot of arrangements to make.

But he didn't let Xiao Hei eavesdrop, as he was also curious about what Zhong Yunxiao was going to do.

However, he didn't remain curious for too long, because early the next morning, Zhong Yunxiao had prepared all the gifts and took them out.

Being away from home and returning to his parents' home, he did not insist on riding in the same carriage with Bai Chi.

However, they did not separate completely. Bai Chi rode in a carriage while he rode a horse.

He was walking side by side with the carriage, and he could hear Bai Chi's voice as soon as he opened his mouth.

Bai Chi looked out from the carriage window. Today was the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and the streets had returned to their usual appearance. Except for some shops still having window decorations on their doors, it was no different from usual.

Because of the death of the second young master and Zhong Yunxiao's illness on the eve of New Year's Eve, the Zhong family didn't have much fun except for the reunion dinner.

At this moment, Bai Chi looked outside and found that there were many passers-by watching, but he didn't see any malicious intent, just the kind of people who were simply curious.

After listening carefully, I found out that they were praising Zhong Yunxiao again, saying that he was handsome and kind-hearted. Even after his brother passed away, he still took good care of his brother's widow.

As for the gambler couple from the Bai family, anyone with a bit of common sense would not have anything to do with them anymore. The Zhong family, for the sake of the second young master's wife, actually personally escorted the second young master's wife back to visit.

Some people were whispering to others, talking about how they had been exploited by their parents at home, disrespected by their brothers and sisters-in-law, and how they had been bullied at home all day long before they got married.

Bai Chi only listened to a few words and didn't care. These were not secrets. After all, the Bai family was just a few hundred meters outside the city, very close.

Whether they were villagers or city dwellers, they were all gossipy. Bai Chi made a fuss and caused everyone to talk about it. When fellow villagers heard about it, they naturally couldn't help but talk about it.

Bai Chi doesn't even need to do anything. People's gossipy nature will help him point out the evil things about the Bai family.

Especially since everyone originally thought that the Bai family could really benefit from the Zhong family's fame because of Bai Chi, especially since his gambling-addicted parents often showed off to others, there were many people who were jealous.

However, rumors have long been circulating that the Zhong family is betrothed to Bai Chi because Bai Chi is the "noble person" of the Zhong family, so even if others are jealous, they cannot snatch her away.

So the gambling couple became even more arrogant.

It was precisely because they had such an arrogant attitude towards other people in the village that when the gambling couple was threatened by Zhong Yunxiao and was slapped in the face, other people realized that the Zhong family only wanted the second young master's wife and did not want to be contaminated by the attitude of the second young master's wife's family. They were all like chicken blood, stepping on the gambling couple as much as they could.

It's like giving back what the previous couple had shown off.

After listening for a while, Xiao Hei suddenly understood.

"Master, public opinion is now one-sided. After the last commotion in the street, and with the villagers adding fuel to the fire, even if that gambling couple died in your own house, no one would accuse you of being unfilial. It's all their own fault!"

Bai Chi didn't admit nor deny it, but just chuckled.

Reputation is very important in this world. Zhong Yunxiao has always been protecting his own reputation and the reputation of the Zhong family in his business. Even if he can't help, at least he can't be a hindrance.
