For a moment, the air was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After Bai Shu finished speaking, the Jiang family members looked at each other. They could understand every word she said, but why did it sound so strange when put together?
"Dad, Mom, this is a good thing, why don't you say anything?"
Bai Zirong was the only one who was still cheerful at the dinner table, while everyone else was shocked and speechless.
Jiang was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively,
"Shu'er, have you thought it through?"
Jiang had promised Bai Shu that she would respect her daughter's ideas and choices, and she couldn't break her promise.
Moreover, as a mother, what she hopes most is that her daughter can marry well and live a happy life.
"Well, my daughter has made up her mind. The prince is very good and treats me very well. He said he would come to propose marriage in the first month of the year."
Bai Shu's eyes were filled with happiness, so what else didn't Jiang understand?
As for the betrothal, folk rumors say that in the first month of the year, all the gods are very busy and have no time to bless marriages.
So even though Xiao Moqing didn't believe in gods and Buddhas and couldn't wait to get married, he still held back.
Because he didn't want their marriage to be delayed by any inexplicable factors.
"Okay, since Shu'er has already decided on him, then mother will support you!"
Jiang's eyes were wet. She had been looking forward to her children getting married and starting their own families.
But at this moment, when the children all had a home, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
"Shu'er, if you are bullied in the future, you must tell Dad. Even if it is the Regent, Dad will not allow him to bully our baby!"
Bai Heng's eyes also turned red. He had noticed it earlier.
Why would the regent, who has never been interested in women, pay so much attention to his daughter?
Moreover, when his daughter came home today, the Regent only said a few polite words.
But the eye contact between him and his daughter was not that simple at all. He just didn't expect the two of them to progress so quickly.
"Dad is right, our Bai family still has the ability to protect our daughter!"
Bai Zixuan followed up with a determined and distressed look in his eyes.
He had expected this long ago. How could his innocent and lovely sister escape the clutches of the Regent?
But even so, their family would not let Bai Shu suffer any injustice.
Liu Ruyin didn't say anything, but the look she gave Bai Shu was gentle and powerful.
Between two sisters, they can often understand each other without too many words.
Bai Zirong was full of confusion. Shouldn't everyone be happy at this time?
He saw with his own eyes that the prince was completely obedient to Bai Shu, and the prince was an upright person, so he should not do anything to hurt his sister.
Thinking this way, I said it out loud.
"Why do you act like the prince would bully his sister? I've seen it all along the way..."
"Don't speak yet. Come to my study after dinner."
It was Bai Heng who interrupted Bai Zirong. His face no longer had the tenderness he had just shown when facing Bai Shu.
His face now can be described as black as coal.
He would have to ask carefully later how Bai Zirong took care of his sister along the way, whether the Regent bullied Bai Shu or even did anything against the rules!
"oh……"
Bai Zirong was now completely obedient. He could still see that his father had changed his expression.
Suddenly he began to reflect, was it too obvious that he had taken sides just now?
What to do? He is the second uncle who really wants to be an idol!
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I think that child is a rare talent and his character is also impeccable. When I have time, I will invite him to visit my home."
The old lady who had been smiling but never said a word finally spoke.
She was very optimistic about the Regent, who was many times better than Du Wenqing.
She also knew what Bai Heng was afraid of as a father, but she believed that her grandchildren's judgment would not be wrong.
When Bai Zirong heard that the old lady was also on their side, his eyes suddenly brightened up and he nodded in agreement.
Bai Heng and Bai Zixuan didn't say anything else.
The atmosphere was filled with joy and everyone was toasting each other, cherishing this New Year's Eve reunion dinner.
…
The next morning, Youlan hurried into the room and said,
"Miss, are you still asleep? I heard that the Regent went to the Master's study to discuss matters."
At this time, Bai Shu had just finished a night of staying up all night, and had just taken off her coat. She was drowsy and ready to lie down for a nap.
"Huh? Xiao Moqing is here? Didn't he say that marriage proposals can't be made during the first month of the year?"
Bai Shu's eyelids were still drooping, but she immediately woke up after hearing the news.
"I heard that the prince came here today to pay New Year's greetings to the master, his wife, and the old lady."
Youlan couldn't help but smile. It seemed that her young lady was also looking forward to this!
"Oh... then I'll catch up on some sleep."
When Bai Shu heard that it was New Year's greetings, she immediately lost interest. She had already visited all the places and received a lot of New Year's money.
While she has this time, she might as well take a nap.
"Then after the prince has finished paying New Year's greetings, would you like to see him, young lady?"
Youlan looked at Bai Shu burying her head in the quilt and suddenly felt worried about her head...
"I'm asleep, don't disturb me."
Bai Shu turned over, found a comfortable position, and began to sleep.
Seeing this, Youlan had no choice but to quietly leave the room and planned to tell Chengfeng the truth.
Anyway, the message was delivered. She felt sorry for her young lady staying up late, so she could only ask the prince to wait a little longer.
…
When Bai Shu woke up, it was time for lunch. Youlan helped her wash and dress up, and put on new clothes for the New Year, a festive red and white jacket.
"Did Xiao Moqing leave any words?"
Bai Shu yawned continuously and let Youlan dress her up. Then she remembered what she had said in the morning: Xiao Moqing came to the Prime Minister's residence to pay New Year's greetings.
"The prince has been waiting for the young lady in the front hall and has not left."
Youlan said as she combed her intricate and exquisite hair.
"Has he been waiting for me?"
Bai Shu suddenly couldn't sit still anymore, and Youlan hurried to comfort her to prevent her hair from getting messed up.
"Don't worry, young lady. The prince has specifically instructed us not to disturb your rest. The master has invited you to have lunch at home, so there is no need to worry."
Youlan's words were beyond Bai Shu's expectation.
Did her father agree to their marriage?
"Let's go and take a look."
Bai Shu didn't ask Youlan to dress her up anymore, she felt that she was already "gorgeous" enough.
…
Bai Heng was sitting at the upper seat, saying something with a kind face, while Xiao Moqing was sitting at the lower seat, nodding and agreeing from time to time, with a respectful look on his face.
Opposite are the two brothers Bai Zixuan and Bai Zirong, one is a modest gentleman like the breeze and bright moon, the other is a young and heroic boy.
When Bai Shu arrived at the front hall, this was the scene she saw.
There are no rulers and subjects, only fathers and sons, fathers-in-law and sons-in-law, amiable elders, and humble and polite younger generations.
"Daddy, big brother, second brother."
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
As Bai Shu entered the room, everyone looked at her involuntarily, and the whole room seemed to brighten up...
