The main house, Ronghua Courtyard.

The First Madam carefully combed her beloved daughter's wet hair, her eyes filled with deep affection for the child.

This little girl has an almost obsessive obsession with cleanliness, taking a bath at least twice a day, as if she were truly a pure white flower blooming on the clear water.

The First Madam gently stroked her daughter's silky smooth hair, her heart filled with emotion.

The little person in her eyes was so cute and beautiful from every angle, filling her heart with endless love and tenderness.

"Mother, tell me about what's happened in the manor over the years," the girl said softly and coquettishly.

"Okay, you've been gone for three years, and things have definitely changed a lot at home."

The First Madam hadn't originally known what to say to her daughter, but since her daughter wanted to hear it, she was naturally happy to explain in detail:

“In the past three years, two children with spiritual roots have been found in the family. Seventh Aunt’s daughter, Mujin, has three spiritual roots, but her spiritual value is not as high as yours. And your third uncle’s son, Taihua, is a good prospect with a single spiritual root.”

Bai Furong sat up, looked at the First Madam, and asked in surprise, "It's actually a child with a single spiritual root. What are the family's plans for?"

The First Madam chuckled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? That child is still young. We should wait until he is established before discussing the future."

"Your eldest brother Taihe's marriage is settled. It's most likely a marriage alliance with the Zhao family in Jinyang City. I've met the girl from that family. She's quite good, and she even has three spiritual roots. If it goes through, it will be a great honor for our family."

The First Madam spoke slowly.

The eldest brother refers to the eldest son of the second wife. The second wife was lucky; her first child after marrying into the Bai family was a child with spiritual roots, who became the eldest grandson of this generation.

"Does Mother think this will work?"

"They were still hesitant at first, but now that you're back, I think they'll agree because of you," the First Madam said with a smile.

"Mother, please don't tease your daughter." Bai Furong was still a little shy.

The First Madam helped her daughter tidy up her appearance again and said, "Your return this time has had a significant impact. The other families' marriages may very well benefit from your influence."

Bai Furong, with a shy yet proud expression, asked again, "Mother, why did she suddenly come back?"

The First Madam's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Bai Chongjiang's existence was a way of telling everyone that they all shared the surname Jiang and had no connection whatsoever with the Bai family of Tianyu City.

“Something happened to your older sister, and they needed her, so your father brought her back during her college break.”

Bai Furong was already ten years old before she left home, and she already knew a lot of things.

So he asked, "Is it your brother-in-law...?"

The First Madam nodded: "Your sister finally got pregnant, but the child she gave birth to has no spiritual roots. The royal family is very dissatisfied with this, and your sister is in a difficult situation now."

Bai Furong sat up angrily and said, "Mother, spiritual roots are something that can only be encountered by chance. Even Bai Nuan and her daughter cannot cultivate. Why does the royal family treat my sister like this!"

"Keep your voice down!"

The First Madam sighed and said, "Back then, your sister was able to marry the Third Prince because she was the eldest daughter of the Bai family. The royal family valued the Bai Ze bloodline. Although no bloodline powerhouse has appeared for thousands of years, for some reason the royal family still attaches great importance to it."

"Mother, is there some secret behind this?"

The First Madam shook her head: "There are three thousand paths to enlightenment, and it's not only those with spiritual roots who can become saints. They can only progress faster than ordinary people. But above that, there is a bloodline inheritance. They don't need to cultivate diligently; they are born with powerful spiritual energy. Once they awaken their bloodline, ascending to immortality is just a matter of a snap of their fingers. That's why royal families, sects, and aristocratic clans have always valued bloodlines. That's why this generation of children all have the surname Bai. Even without the Bai Ze bloodline, the Bai surname brings hidden benefits. Otherwise, why would we have a mansion in the Divine Capital, Tianyu City, capable of supporting a large family and providing various resources for cultivation?"
