Bai Qi was really still alive. Jiao Zhuangyuan was nervous, but his face showed three parts of surprise, three parts of relief, and the rest was sadness.
When people who don’t know him see him, they all praise him for his affection.
"Madam, thank goodness you are still alive. Your husband is here to take you and your son home."
White Snake sneered again. This contemptuous and sarcastic yet appropriate expression was something she had learned from Fengjiu. "Master Jiao, you are just a mere sixth-rank editor, yet you dare to call me Madam? I'm afraid the officials in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Justice will have some objections."
This was also what Feng Jiu learned. In the past, White Snake was always trembling with fear when dealing with officials.
So she asked her husband to take the college entrance examination so that he could be her support in the future. However, it turned out to be her death warrant. Can you imagine?
But now that she has met the prince and the queen mother, and can chat with the princess, she suddenly doesn't feel that there is anything to be afraid of people in officialdom. They are probably no different from businessmen.
Jiao Zhuangyuan paused. People who have experienced life and death will have a big change in temperament. He was mentally prepared and had the patience to deal with it.
"It was my negligence and the deception by the villain that caused me to fail to protect my wife and Baoer. I'm a useless husband and you have every right to blame me." Jiao Zhuangyuan burst into tears and looked so pitiful.
White Snake was unmoved. What is it like to watch yourself and your child being buried while you are still conscious?
Anyway, White Snake hated the ungrateful Jiao very much, and her revenge had just begun.
"Don't pretend. I heard and remember everything you said in front of my coffin, how you colluded with the Bai family's side branches to kill me.
If you hadn't destroyed the evidence of murder for money long ago, do you think you could still stand here and talk to me?
But it doesn't matter. I was able to rescue you from the sea of suffering before, and now I can also kick you into purgatory. Go back and wash your neck and wait."
White Snake coldly ordered the man to leave. From beginning to end, this man was only thinking about how to deal with her. He never even thought of looking at his son beside him. It turned out that a dog will never change its nature.
Jiao Zhuangyuan's face suddenly turned pale, "My wife, someone must have framed me. I have never said such words, let alone done such a thing.
Besides, no matter how much you misunderstand me, you can't abandon the Bai family that your parents worked so hard to build, you can't give up your own identity, and you can't let your children not recognize their ancestors."
Jiao Zhuangyuan's words were earnest and seemed to be all for Bai Niangzi's consideration, but in fact he just wanted Bai Niangzi to go back and clean up the mess.
How could Lady Bai not know this? She said lightly, "You don't think that the businesses you own are all that the Bai family owns, do you?
You don't think I only have one identity, Bai Qi, do you? Hahaha!
My son can still have the surname Zhu, and will soon be the richest man in the world." Because, White Snake's father also came from here, and his surname is Zhu.
The Bai family's secret businesses are all named Zhu, and she also has another identity, called Zhu Yan. This is the true nature of a businessman.
White Snake curled her lips and smiled, "What a pity, in fact, I could tell you the secret after the baby is born, but who knew you were so impatient.
Come! Drive them out of Shili Village."
Swish, swish, swish! Several figures jumped out from behind, grabbed Jiao Zhuangyuan and left.
"What are you doing? You little slaves! I'm a sixth-rank official, how dare you..."
"What a coincidence, Lord Jiao, I am also a sixth-rank official..." The soldiers laughed loudly. The insult was too obvious. Who doesn't have an official position?
This is the benefit of following the Ninth Prince. The military merits and official positions they have earned on the battlefield will not fade, and as long as they are still alive, they can receive food and salary.
White Snake was very happy. After saying goodbye to her fellow villagers, she took her son back to find Fengjiu.
Fengjiu was in the hospital courtyard, chatting with Xie Yunjin, listening to him talk about the situation and customs of Da'an.
"You're back? How was it meeting people?"
It turned out that they knew Jiao Zhuangyuan would come, so Bai Niangzi went to the teahouse to wait for him.
Otherwise, she would have to manage such a large business, so how could she have the time to brag and chat with the village women.
"Hmph, I just realized today that being the top scholar and becoming an official is not that great." At this moment, Bai Niangzi felt particularly at ease because she was truly powerful.
"That's right. Focus on one thing and be good at it. You can pass the imperial examination just like me." After all, how can Bai Niangzi be an ordinary person if she can manage such a big business?
"Haha, compared to you, young lady, I still lack a lot." Fengjiu is the person that Bai Niangzi admires.
"We are all lacking. Let's listen to the lectures of Mr. Xie and improve our knowledge."
Xie Yunjin smiled slightly, "One of you is knowledgeable in medicine, and the other is knowledgeable in business, but I, Xie, have accomplished nothing. How dare I give lectures to you all?
I am just sharing my experiences, you can just treat it as a joke."
"Oh, Mr. Xie, you are not being modest when you say this, but showing off, right?
"You're a top figure in the literary world, and it's no exaggeration to say you command all the literati in the world. Do you think that only by seizing the Zhao family's kingdom can you be considered successful in your career?"
"Oh, girl! Don't say such things casually." Even if the Ninth Prince indulges Fengjiu, he would still feel resentful after hearing these words, right?
This time, Xie Yunjin really laughed out loud. He didn't think Fengjiu was testing him, but that this girl had never had any taboos.
From just a few words, Xie Yunjin could see that Fengjiu respected the imperial rule, but was not afraid of it at all, not because of her high status or strong ability.
But in her eyes, all beings are equal, and she does not shrink back from or flatter the empress dowager and noble ladies.
She was kind and polite to the ordinary villagers of Shili Village, and respected them. The only thing Fengjiu feared was her precious life, which she only had once.
