Chapter 65 Zhu Jiaojiao, the adopted daughter of the Bai family



With the help of the prefect and the imperial court, the disaster victims were taken to Linjiang Town for resettlement.

Linjiang Town is only half a day's journey from the capital, and there happens to be an uninhabited village there.

Before leaving, the disaster victims thanked the Chen family one after another. Looking at these people, Bai Tuantuan felt a warmth in her heart and felt much clearer-headed.

Unseen by her, in the spatial trading station, Tangshao caught a wisp of white mist. [She obtained the essence of gratitude so quickly; no wonder she's a woman from heaven and earth, someone even the Jade Emperor wouldn't dare offend!]

"Buzzing..." The black, lacquered pot next to me made a sound.

It's clearly echoing the soup spoon.

As the weather gets colder, Bai Tuantuan has been doing a divination every day, and she has gone from sweating profusely at the beginning to handling it with ease now.

"How was it?" That day, Bai Tuantuan had just finished tidying up her copper coins after another divination when she heard Ning Nanxiao's question.

Bai Tuantuan smiled and said, "It's safe! Uncle Liu will be back soon!"

As she spoke, Bai Tuantuan ran to Bai Han's room to tell them the good news.

"Tuantuan..." Old Madam Bai looked at Bai Tuantuan's back and murmured, then added, "She's really different."

Bai Han waved his hand and said slowly, "Our Tuantuan is someone with great opportunities. It's understandable that some things don't make sense, as long as it doesn't harm her."

"Brother Chen told me that this girl learns everything incredibly fast, whether it's martial arts, medicine, or anything else. It's not like a five-year-old child could do that. She also has a photographic memory. She's a genius!"

"I don't care about geniuses or anything like that, I just want Tuantuan to be safe and sound," Old Madam Bai said irritably. "That girl and Xiu'er have suffered so much. Husband, when we return to the capital this time, don't stop me from doing what I'm about to do!"

"When have I ever stopped you from doing what you want to do?" Bai Han laughed. "It's not just you, we'll all take action."

When Bai Tuantuan told everyone that Bai Haotian would return safely, everyone kept looking outside the door.

In particular, Chen Xingfeng and Chen Lingfeng would drag Ning Nanxiao outside to shovel snow every day, saying that the snow was too thick for Sixth Uncle to come in.

Ning Nanxiao was clearly unwilling, but he couldn't fight against so many opponents, so he had no choice but to compromise.

"I'm back."

Ning Nanxiao, who was sweeping snow, put down his broom, listened carefully, and his eyes lit up: "There's the sound of a horse-drawn carriage!"

"Sixth Uncle! Sixth Uncle!" Bai Tuantuan ran out of the house.

Her chubby body looked even rounder in the snow-white cotton-padded coat.

A ring of fox fur around her neck made her face flushed, making her look exceptionally delicate and adorable.

"Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle!"

Upon seeing Chen Xiaoran and the other two, Bai Tuantuan quickly called out.

That sweet, soft voice instantly lifted the spirits of the three of them, sweeping away their fatigue of the past few days.

Bai Tuantuan handed the hot water bottle to the three of them: "Go inside and rest!"

Ning Nanxiao and the other two lifted the carriage curtain and saw Bai Haotian lying inside, his life hanging in the balance. They quickly moved him out.

Chen Xiaoran and the other two helped carry Bai Haotian into the room before saying, "I have already given the wound some basic treatment, but the internal injuries are extremely serious, and he has also been poisoned."

“I have already given him the antidote,” Chen Xiaoran said, taking out silver needles. “The silver needles stimulate his blood circulation, and combined with the internal injury medicine, he will wake up soon.”

As he spoke, Chen Xiaoran wrote down the prescription.

Bai Tuantuan hurriedly went to fetch and brew the medicine, while Old Madam Bai said, "Thank you for your hard work. Have some food first, and then go and rest."

Chen Xiaoran and the others hadn't rested for several days, so upon hearing this, they didn't stand on ceremony and went straight back to their rooms to catch up on sleep.

Bai Tuantuan and Feng Yue stayed by Bai Haotian's side, looking at the numerous wounds on his body. Bai Tuantuan was furious: "The people of Baihe Kingdom are so unreasonable!"

“If they were reasonable, we wouldn’t be having such a headache.” Ning Nanxiao walked in, glanced at Bai Haotian, and said, “Uncle Bai always boasts about how great he is, but it seems he’s not all that impressive.”

Bai Haotian, who was in a deep sleep, twitched his fingers.

A smile flickered in Ning Nanxiao's eyes. He coughed twice and continued, "If Uncle Bai wants to prove that he is very capable, he'd better wake up sooner rather than later, otherwise I won't believe him."

Bai Tuantuan's eyes widened: "Sixth Uncle is injured... You've gone too far!"

Ning Nanxiao crossed his arms: "I'm just telling the truth."

"Hmph! If you went to Baihe Kingdom, you'd probably lose your life there. You're not even as good as my sixth uncle!"

"I'm only twelve years old," Ning Nanxiao said calmly.

Bai Tuantuan pouted: "You're young, so you think you're right!"

Seeing this, Feng Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Why do you two always bicker when you meet?"

"Tuantuan, don't blame Nanxiao either. He's worried about Haotian too."

"I don't care about him at all!" Ning Nanxiao's ears turned red, and she turned and walked out quickly.

Bai Tuantuan stared in astonishment at Ning Nanxiao's retreating figure, then looked at Feng Yue: "Grandmother, is he shy?"

Feng Yue pinched Bai Tuantuan's nose and said with a smile, "Yes, Nan Xiao is a good kid, but he's a bit stubborn and doesn't always mean what he says."

"Awkward." Bai Tuantuan rolled her eyes. She was about to look down at Bai Haotian's wound when she noticed his hand moving!

"Uncle! Wake up!"

The moment Bai Haotian opened his eyes, he roared in a hoarse voice, "That brat Ning Nanxiao actually said I'm weak?"

Bai Tuantuan: ……

Is this the legendary reverse psychology tactic?

Ten days later, the weather gradually cleared up, and Bai Haotian was able to get out of bed.

Meanwhile, Bai Tuantuan quickly wrote a letter to her two friends, informing them of her upcoming trip to the capital.

Han Weiwei and He Lin arrived quickly. The three little girls were reluctant to part with them, but there was nothing they could do.

"Don't worry, I will definitely urge my father to get promoted! I'll come to the capital to find you then!" Han Weiwei said forcefully, clenching her fists.

He Lin's eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded: "Yes! I will also urge my father to do a good job in business and take it to the capital!"

Both Mr. He, who was discussing business, and Lord Han, who was writing a memorial to the throne, sneezed.

Meanwhile, in the Bai family's guest house in the capital, a woman dressed in a bright green jacket and skirt stretched out her slender hand, her charming face showing a hint of disdain: "So what if we found her? She's just a country girl. She'll only make a fool of herself when she returns to the capital."

"What you say is true, Miss Bai. In the capital, only you are recognized as the Miss Bai!"

Zhu Jiaojiao lowered her eyes, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "They'll be back soon, right? I need to get ready too."

As she spoke, Zhu Jiaojiao stood up and looked out the window at the scenery: "I want the identity of the eldest daughter of the Bai family, and I want everything the Bai family owns!"
