Chapter 332 The New Year Has Arrived (2/2)



Bai Yunxing did not want to take his whole family to the frontier for his own selfish desires.

That place is too cruel; it's not suitable for my family.

"Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles; your parents will also like to go."

Juanjuan walked briskly, handing the candied hawthorn in her hand to her second brother, unable to eat anymore: "It doesn't matter where I am, it's all the same wherever I go, so I naturally want to see some different scenery."

Bai Yunxing looked down at his younger sister. Who would have thought that in just one year, his sister would be raised so well?

He chuckled softly, "Alright, then let's go to the frontier."

After the previous reprimand, the Meng family behaved themselves considerably, and the Grand Tutor's letter had already reached the capital.

Seeing the changes in Yunjiang, the Emperor's heart sank again, a sharp pain shot through his lungs, and he began to cough violently.

The eunuch beside him handed him a bowl of tea.

The emperor took the drink, drank a sip, and then waved for him to leave.

Once there was no one else in the room, the emperor began to curse loudly.

"Let whoever wants to be emperor in the next life be emperor! I'm not doing it!"

The throne was originally meant for the elder brother, but he was incompetent at governing and preferred to play around!

When someone rebels against the Emperor, they will definitely target him, who is a prince. Regardless of whether he rebels against the Emperor, the Emperor will definitely kill him.

The throne was passed to him, and his elder brother wanted to get rid of him even more. Isn't that what happened now?

He didn't even know where he had been poisoned, and his health was deteriorating.

Ultimately, however, he valued brotherly affection more than his elder brother, and was not as ruthless as his brother.

But now, he was increasingly unable to control one thought in his mind: to kill his elder brother.

My heart hardened in an instant, and then I became increasingly unable to control it, with the thoughts growing stronger and stronger.

...

New Year's Eve.

Bai Tian took a lighter and a firecracker, and opened them up, aiming to make them louder than anyone else's.

After having a couple of fun, I stopped, to avoid getting into trouble.

Bai Yunqi: "It's okay, Dad can release it if he wants. I've blocked it for you. Give it to us, let me try it."

Juanjuan was having a great time playing with the sparkler, the bursts of light reflecting off her bright eyes like a glittering galaxy.

Jiang Dai accompanied Juanjuan and taught the child how to hold a fairy wand and wave it in the air, which would draw a fleeting streak of light in the dark sky.

Bai Yun'an lay on the soft chair, drinking tea and eating small cakes, glancing at his second brother who was also sitting beside him.

Although we've spent quite a bit of time together, sometimes looking at that face that's so similar to mine still feels a bit strange.

Missing home?

Bai Yun'an asked softly.

It goes without saying which family she's thinking of.

Bai Yunxing turned to look at his third brother: "It's alright, I'm used to it."

Every Lunar New Year's Eve, not all members of the Mu family are present; it's something you get used to.

Bai Yun'an lowered his eyelids slightly: "That's true."

Bai Yunxing chuckled, his gaze falling on his playful parents: "This is a rare New Year's Eve with everyone together."

Bai Yun'an smiled and said, "Same."

This was even his first time celebrating Lunar New Year's Eve.

In the years leading up to the apocalypse, there was still Lunar New Year's Eve, which was a source of comfort for people. However, as time went on and humanity's situation became increasingly difficult, there was no longer time to celebrate Lunar New Year's Eve, and people's attachment to this festival was not as strong.

"Hey, hey, hey! You two gentlemen over there!"

"You two are so old-fashioned, not lively at all! Come on, get up and let's go to the Jiang family's house."

Bai Yunqi charged over, grabbing one of his two younger brothers by the shoulder with each arm.

The main focus is on one thing: enthusiastic harassment.

Bai Yun'an tilted his head and glanced at his older brother's hand on his shoulder. It was pitch black, but it wasn't exactly clean either.

Bai Yun'an pursed her lips, silently extended a finger, and pried the hand away.

That night, the Bai family went together to the former residence of the Jiang family.

The house was burned down, and after the entire Jiang family perished, it was divided up among some distant relatives.

The former residence has been divided into two separate houses, leaving no trace of its former self.

Jiang Dai raised her hand to cover her heart, which was beating rather fast.

Perhaps memories have forgotten something, but the remaining emotions still remember.

I'm sorry, but I will buy this house back and rebuild it according to the Meng family's description. This will be Juanjuan's home.

Jiang Dai didn't know what else she could do. If there were still blood relatives of Jiang Dai in the Jiang family, what else could she do?

But now, all she can do is teach Juanjuan well, buy back the house, and find out who attacked the Jiang family back then.

Juanjuan looked up at her mother for a moment, then lowered her head with her eyes slightly down. No one knows what a child is thinking.

Even she herself didn't know, and couldn't explain, what she was really feeling.

Seeing the silent mother and daughter, the remaining men in the house remained silent, sensing that something was amiss.

The sounds of firecrackers and bells symbolize the passing of the old year and the arrival of the new year.

On the deserted official road, several fine horses galloped, raising clouds of dust.

The young boy at the head of the group looked up at the moon in the sky.

I'll be in Yunjiang in about two weeks. After conducting some investigation, I estimate I won't be able to return to the capital before the Lunar New Year.

If it weren't for military orders, he would only want to change his route and return to the capital first.

Actually... he also misses home quite a bit.
