Meanwhile, Old Master Bai and Fourth Brother Bai were discussing their plans in the study.
Then someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The old woman opened the door, her face beaming with joy.
"Master, Fourth Master, the eldest young lady is back! She said the Second Master sent her back!"
Of course, she had to make things clear so that the two hosts would be aware of the situation.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Master Bai's excited face turned ashen!
He slammed his hand on the table. "That beast! That bastard!"
Who doesn't know what they're planning by calling their granddaughter to the provincial capital at this time?
Bai Laosi was speechless; he couldn't let the old man get angry.
"Grandpa, let's go see Ya Jing first!"
After saying that, he asked the old woman, "Wang Ma, besides you, who else has seen the young lady?"
The old woman thought about the commotion along the way and shook her head. "It was just me and the young lady on this journey; there was no one else."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Bai looked at Bai Lao Si and asked, "What do you mean?"
Bai Laosi nodded.
Old Master Bai's eyes flickered, and he instantly had an idea.
"Let's go see her first, don't keep the child waiting."
After saying that, he was gone like a gust of wind.
Master Bai shook his head and chuckled, then followed. But when he reached the old woman's side, he added, "Wang Ma, the people who came today are relatives from our hometown visiting us. Do you remember that?"
The old woman nodded repeatedly.
She didn't want the poor young lady to get involved with the Bai family at this time, since the eldest son's family and her great-aunt's family had all run away!
Unfortunately, despite their careful planning, they didn't realize that plans often go awry...
The atmosphere in the main hall was incredibly awkward.
When Bai Lao Er and his wife returned home, they saw a girl in the living room. However, she was dressed like a country girl and had sallow skin, looking malnourished. They were disgusted and thought she was a poor relative from the countryside who had come to freeload. They never imagined that she was their own daughter.
"Wang Ma, Wang Ma? Where is she? Why are you bringing just anyone in! It's bad luck!"
In the past, it wasn't that there weren't relatives coming from the countryside; usually, it was the old man who saw them, and they were too lazy to care. But recently, everything has been going wrong, and he's really annoyed, so he feels disgusted whenever someone comes to visit, you could say he's ready to pounce.
The second wife raised her hand to cover her nose, her brows furrowed, and kept her distance, as if getting too close would infect her with something unclean.
"Oh dear, Dad is really something, letting people in to freeload at this hour!"
Bai Yajing looked down at her clothes, her lips twitching, and rolled her eyes. What the hell is this, this freeloading!
She was dressed in clothes made by her grandmother. Although they were simple, they were made of soft, fine cotton with fine stitches, showing that the craftsmanship was quite good. Her cloth shoes with multi-layered soles were embroidered with bamboo. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her attire; it was appropriate and understated.
"Tsk, no taste!" she said, giving the two pretentious people a few looks up and down, her eyes full of disdain.
Upon hearing this and seeing the disdain in her eyes, Bai Lao Er instantly flew into a rage. "Rude! Uncultured! Just as expected of a country bumpkin!"
"Get out of here! Who let you in!"
The second wife was also annoyed and glanced at her contemptuously. "Girl, this is not a place for you. I advise you to go back to where you came from!"
She was already very upset because her daughter couldn't come home and her son had left her side, and she didn't know if she would ever see him again. Now she was even more annoyed.
