Chapter 353 Does my aunt really have a child who is still alive?
When Ming Zhuo deciphered Yuan Qingwan's horoscope, they must have noticed something.
No, perhaps even earlier, after he escaped in the body of a Taoist priest in human skin, he began to doubt Ming Zhuo's ability.
That's why he had to be more vigilant, find a stronger backer for himself, use divine punishment to intimidate everyone, and completely shut up all those who knew about it.
The Bai family and Mr. Bai were his scapegoats.
The key is that Mr. Bai was willing to cover for him.
Ming Zhuo thought coldly, it's so stupid, I don't want to admit that I have such a relative.
Who knows, in Bai Tingtao's heart, a cousin he has never met is far less important than that person.
Gu Xu printed out the emergency investigation data and handed it to Ming Zhuo, "This is the information of Bai Li, the aunt of the previous generation of the Bai family."
Last time, he prepared the information of all the members of the Bai family, but not Bai Li's.
Because Bai Li was not from Bai Tingtao's branch.
At that time, the Bai family had three sons. Bai Li's father was a genius and was the most outstanding disciple of the Bai family and even the Xuanmen.
At that time, the world was in turmoil, demons and ghosts were everywhere to cause trouble to the world, and there were evil cultivators colluding with spies to seize the treasures guarded by the Bai family.
He gave up the position of the head of the family and took the initiative to ask for help to guard the treasures until he died in a certain encirclement and suppression.
Bai Li is the couple's late-born son and their only bloodline. She lost her father at a young age and had no one to rely on, so she had to be raised by Bai Tingtao's father and generation.
There is not much information about Bai Li. We only know that she once left the Bai family with two adopted little girls and traveled around.
When she came back many years later, she was alone, and the two little girls were no longer with her.
At that time, the Bai family happened to be in a disaster, and there was no time to ask her about her past years. Afterwards, she guarded the family ancestral hall with a sword and died of exhaustion.
In that battle, the Bai family suffered countless casualties, and Bai Li's branch was completely cut off, and no one mentioned it again.
——A
rain in the summer evening finally fell completely with bursts of thunder.
The rain took away the summer heat and brought a hint of coolness.
Bai Tingtao suddenly woke up from his dream and realized that he had overslept during his nap.
He stood up and looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and was absent-minded for a while.
The old housekeeper staggered in, and saw Bai Tingtao standing in front of the window. He walked forward habitually to close the window, "Young Master, be careful not to catch a cold."
Bai Tingtao had not heard the title of Young Master for many years, and he didn't know why, but he suddenly felt some emotion.
"Uncle, I dreamed of my aunt."
The old housekeeper looked at him in surprise.
Bai Tingtao: "I dreamed that my aunt was in front of this window, teaching us to write, read, and practice. The adults at home were always busy and had no time to accompany us, but my aunt was always there."
He once thought that his aunt would always be with them, until a big quarrel broke out at home. It
was caused by a very small thing, and he didn't remember the details, but he knew that Yuan Qingwan and Bai Tingchao had a conflict.
That night, my mother got very angry and said that no cat or dog was worthy of being the eldest lady of our Bai family. Believe it or not, I will kick them all out.
Yuan Qingwan kept crying that night, afraid that she would be driven away; while my aunt was patiently comforting her.
He clearly remembered that my aunt looked out the window with a very cold look in her eyes, and then a few days later, my aunt said she was leaving to travel.
Her reasons were very good. Her cultivation had stagnated and she needed to look at the worldly things, perhaps to make a breakthrough.
But Bai Tingtao knew that she was lying. She had no so-called bottleneck in her cultivation. She had always been very strong, far surpassing her parents.
But at that time, he couldn't say anything. The matter was finalized by his overjoyed mother, and then his aunt took Yuan Qingwan and Bai Wanzhen away.
He always knew that his aunt had been treated coldly in the Bai family. Although she was the eldest daughter of the Bai family, she had always been treated harshly.
His mother's words were deliberately indirect and mocking Yuan Qingwan for her high aspirations, while also squeezing his aunt.
When his aunt left, Bai Tingtao was sad for a long, long time, and in an instant he grew from a child to an adult.
The next time he saw his aunt, it was when the Bai family was surrounded and attacked, and his aunt came in with a sword to save him...
In that battle, he lost many relatives, including his father, grandfather, uncle... It seemed that his aunt was not very special.
The Bai family still had to rely on him to support it, and indulging in grief would not help, so he rarely looked back.
Maybe it's because people get old that they miss the past and the dead.
The old housekeeper's eyes were filled with tears when he heard this. He always knew that the young master had deep feelings for the eldest lady.
He wiped his tears, "Since you have found the young lady, you should take care of your body. The young lady is still young and needs you to take care of everything for her."
The news that Bai Lingzhi announced that Chu Yuqi is the next head of the family has been passed back to the Bai family, and I believe someone will definitely have opinions.
Only Old Bai can support Chu Yuqi.
Bai Tingtao also knew all this, and he also planned to step down and teach Chu Yuqi well.
When Bai Lingzhi was born, he was busy strengthening the Bai family and was unable to teach her well, which was somewhat regrettable.
Seeing Bai Tingtao cheer up, the old housekeeper hesitated.
"I remember that the eldest lady seemed to say something before she died." He couldn't help but say, "It seems, it seems that the eldest lady still has flesh and blood alive."
"What?" Bai Tingtao stood up in shock.
The old housekeeper was nervous, but when he thought of the possible mistakes, he still felt that he had to say it out.
"Madam was there at the time, but the eldest daughter passed away before she finished talking. We didn't dare to speculate. Madam said that the eldest daughter hadn't gotten married yet, so how could she have a child? She was probably talking about Miss Yuan, so when Miss Yuan came to the house later, Madam took her in and married her to the Xiang family as the Bai family's adopted daughter."
Bai Tingtao knew all these follow-up events, because he was the one who found the Xiang family marriage for Yuan Qingwan out of consideration for his aunt.
He had always thought that his aunt had no descendants, so how could he have thought that there was actually a child here?
"Uncle, are you sure you heard it right? Does aunt really have a child still alive?" Bai Tingtao said excitedly.
If it is aunt's child, he must recognize it as soon as possible and take good care of it.
He hasn't been so happy for a long time. Finally, there is still a descendant of aunt's branch alive.
"By the way, Yuan Qingwan! Yuan Qingwan followed aunt. She came back alone. Where is the child?" Bai Tingtao was suddenly shocked.
He had already experienced Yuan Qingwan's viciousness. The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became. Did the child meet with a murderous hand a long time ago?
"I want to see Yuan Qingwan!" Bai Tingtao couldn't sit still anymore. He had to pry open Yuan Qingwan's mouth no matter what.
The old housekeeper opened his mouth and wanted to say that he suspected Mingzhuo was Bai Li's descendant, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
After all, this was just his suspicion, not certainty, so why should Bai Tingtao be so happy?
——On
the other hand, although Ming Zhuo did not intend to recognize her as a relative, she still told Ruan Mulan and Ruan Mingying about Bai Li.
