Chapter 428 I Have Never Called You "Mom" Since I Could Talk
No one else, whether it was Bai Xiaofeng, Old Man Du, the three brothers of the Su family, or Little Mai Sui, stopped Bing'er from speaking.
They can cover up everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.
Tianbao rubbed Bing'er's head, and the little girl's tense back immediately relaxed and she leaned on her arm.
Tian Bao raised her eyes to the beautiful woman sitting at the head of the table and said, "Second Princess, there's no need to be so defensive. We don't even bother to hurt an old woman."
"But I don't believe you will be kind enough to pity me! The eldest princess is sometimes confused and doesn't care about etiquette. You knew my identity, but when I came in just now, none of you stood up to greet me. You are so bold and presumptuous!" The second princess's words were still sharp.
Tian Bao sneered, "We don't show courtesy when we meet the emperor of another country or the queen of your country. It's not just you who is being rude."
"..." The Second Princess' pupils constricted, and she tried hard not to show her surprise. "You met the Queen? When?"
"Last night, the Queen invited me to the pleasure boat."
"In that case, why don't you tell me who you are?"
The other party insisted on knowing, and Tianbao raised an eyebrow, "A wanted criminal in nine countries."
The second princess, “…”
The others were as calm as usual, except for Wheat Ear, who had slumped shoulders and looked listless.
She was born a few years late and missed the good times, so her name is still not on the wanted list.
In the eyes of the second princess, only Xiao Maisui was normal, and she felt ashamed of being a wanted criminal.
Except for the wretched old man and the aloof man, the rest were children in their teens and twenties, about the same age as her daughter. At that age when they were just starting out and full of vigor, they might have committed a crime... Thinking of this, the second princess's eyes became less sharp.
"No wonder you came to Xiling. My Xiling has always stayed out of external disputes. As one of the four great nations, other nations dare not easily interfere in Xiling's affairs. It is indeed a good refuge. However, since you are wanted by nine nations, you can't be good people. My Xiling does not have a bloodlust mentality. Do you want to leave on your own, or should I ask someone to escort you?"
The old man was impatient. "Why do you keep chasing me away as soon as you come here, little woman? Grandpa can go wherever he wants. He can come when he wants and leave when he wants. If you chase me away again, I might end up staying here!"
"How dare you! You act like this in front of the younger generation. No wonder they follow your example and are wanted by nine countries at such a young age!" The second princess was so angry at the old man's ruffian words that her head was smoking. Her upbringing forced her not to curse like a shrew.
The old man listened to her scolding, but instead of being angry, he felt proud. "Hey, you're right. All the children in my family are better than me!"
"..." The second princess gritted her teeth and closed her eyes. She could even hear the sound of her hair catching fire. "You all, give it to me right now—"
"Fengtang, these are my honored guests, and even more so, Xiaobao's friends. You must not be rude to them." The eldest princess walked in from outside, pulling Bai Yu with her, her face showing undisguised displeasure. "Xiaobao just came home, and as his second aunt, not only am I unhappy, but you're even trying to chase them away for me?"
"Eldest sister!" The second princess' eyes were blazing with anger, and she felt like she was being bitten by a dog. She was about to give her eldest sister a wake-up call to wake her up, but when her eyes suddenly swept across the young man in white who came in from behind, her throat suddenly seemed to be pinched by something, and she couldn't make a sound.
The young man was handsome, with a face like a jade and a pair of peach blossom eyes that were naturally smiling.
If she changed into women's clothes, her face would look about 70% like her late mother.
Nephew Xiao Zu, no wonder the eldest sister recognized the wrong person.
Facing such a face, even she was reluctant to curse.
The eldest princess entered the flower hall, her displeasure quickly dissipating. She pulled the young man forward like she was showing off a treasure, "Xiaobao, this is your second aunt! Fengtang, come and look, this is your nephew. You haven't seen Xiaobao in years, right? This child is very naughty, running around outside all day and refusing to come home. I don't know if he's been bullied outside... As his second aunt, you have to keep a close eye on him and protect him!"
The cheap second aunt and the cheap nephew looked at each other in silence.
While the old woman beside him wasn't paying attention, Bai Yu pointed to his sleeve, which had been grabbed from the street until now. That corner was already wrinkled and unsightly. He mouthed to the Second Princess, "Thank you."
The second princess, “…”
It turns out that I was really dragged here by my elder sister.
She can't help with this.
Then, she also said silently, "Save yourself."
Bai Yu, "..."
The old man and the three Su family members laughed so hard that they couldn't stop laughing. Even Bai Xiaofeng opened his folding fan to cover his mouth.
"Xiaobao, sit here!" The silent conversation was interrupted by the old woman. Bai Yu was pushed to sit in the armchair at the top. The old woman followed him and sat down. The chair was placed just two steps in front of him, perfectly blocking his escape route.
Even so, the old woman stared at him intently for a moment.
The words he said sounded natural and flawless, but his crazy eyes were filled with the fear of losing what he had gained.
Bai Yu pursed his lips, leaned back on the chair and relaxed, showing that he was not going to leave.
The fear in the old woman's eyes faded a little, and the corners of her mouth raised with joy.
The Second Princess was silent for a long time. Unable to bear to interrupt her eldest sister's sweet dream, she looked at Bai Yu and said, "Xiaobao, where have you been all these years? Besides these friends, do you have any other relatives around you? Have you married yet?"
This is to inquire about identity information.
Bai Yu's eyes flashed with helplessness as he casually made up a story, "I've been wandering around in Da Yue these past few years. Because I'm so handsome, I've gotten into a lot of romantic relationships. To hide my whereabouts, I adopted the alias Bai Yu. I have an old man at home who's still unmarried. He just celebrated his 22nd birthday a few days ago."
The second princess learned the information she wanted to know from his nonsense. The young man spoke like this because he was taking care of his elder sister's feelings, just like she was, and she would remember his kindness.
The eldest princess smiled from beginning to end. She waited until her son finished speaking before saying, "Xiaobao, you're mistaken. Your birthday is the sixth of the sixth month. Mother remembers it clearly. But the age is correct. You're exactly twenty-two this year."
"..." Bai Yu forced a smile.
Master Bai has never felt wronged in his entire life except in front of Tianbao.
"Second aunt, you must have something important to tell me this time?" He glanced at the shrewd-looking second princess and signaled with his eyes, "Take your eldest sister away quickly, and we will leave immediately."
The Second Princess looked at him for a moment, then stood up. "No, I was just passing by and stopped by to say hello. You and your son must have a lot to talk about after not seeing each other for so many years. I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back in a few days."
"Hello? Second Aunt? Second Aunt!" The corner of Bai Yu's mouth twitched. If his hearing was correct, the Second Princess was angrily chasing people away before entering the flower hall!
The second princess walked away in an instant, pretending not to hear the call from behind.
After leaving the Princess's residence, he immediately ordered the driver to turn the carriage around and "enter the palace!"
The companions in the flower hall watched Bai Yu's predicament from the sidelines.
The eldest princess now caught on to something new, "Xiaobao, you already call me Second Aunt, why don't you call me Mother?"
Bai Yu, "..."
There is no hope in life.
He has never called his mother since he could speak.
Only scolded.
