He Zhang's interference and the news from the criminal star made Madam Bai somewhat uncomfortable.
The Empress in the palace had been slow to act on the plan proposed by Bai Shan, and her wrist-worn phone rang again; it was that person urging her once more.
Looking at the butler beside her, Madam Bai sighed softly, while Chu Rui lowered his head and remained silent.
He knew what the other party wanted to see; it was to go to the back mountain to see Baishan. Recently, Madam Bai had relaxed her vigilance towards him a lot.
But at this point, he still dared not alert the enemy.
Madam Bai glanced at Chu Rui, who was hanging his head and remaining silent, and her slender eyebrows furrowed as she recalled her father's orders from a few days ago.
"Rui'er, which planet did you live on before? Mommy has always forgotten to ask. Are the people from there nice?"
A nostalgic look flashed in Chu Rui's eyes, "On a dilapidated plant planet, there was a younger brother named Chu Qiao. He was very well-behaved, and we hunted and herded livestock every day."
But he died because of you...
Looking at Chu Rui, who was breathing peacefully, Madam Bai found it rare to see him not looking gloomy. She owed her child a lot and wanted to make up for it.
but……
"Rui'er, you're all grown up now, it's time for you to get married."
Chu Rui looked up. "Didn't Mother ask me what happened afterward?"
Chu Rui listened to the sound of high heels passing by outside with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
"Then he died, he died in an explosion along with the planet, right last year, Mother should know, that plant planet that was blown up, the one that didn't even have a name."
“Now my mother wants me to marry Karen, ha! I want to kill her, you believe me?”
Those gleaming white teeth flashed with a glint of light, carrying a chilling hatred that startled even Madam Bai.
I couldn't help but squeeze my wrist, unsure whether it was out of guilt or fear.
"Hmph! You ignorant brat, marrying Kailin is your good fortune. I am the head of the Bai family. You stay here, and I will make you marry whomever you choose!"
Bai Shan walked in leaning on his cane, followed by Kailin, who remained silent and pretended to be gentle and virtuous.
Madam Bai stood up awkwardly, looking somewhat embarrassed. "Father, why did you come here? Rui'er didn't mean to."
"Ha! He didn't do it on purpose, could it be that I am..."
Bai Shan walked to the main seat with his cane. Madam Bai helped him sit down. Bai Shan spoke in a cryptic tone, "I'm really getting old and useless. No one listens to me anymore."
Madam Bai: "Father, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course I will listen to you. Rui'er was just telling a lame joke, wasn't he? Rui'er, a brother who has no relatives, how can he compare to his maternal grandfather?"
Madam Bai urged Chu Rui to apologize with her eyes. Chu Rui looked at Bai Shan, and the air fell silent.
Kailin, who was standing to the side, tried to take Chu Rui's arm and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Young Master Chu Rui to like cosplay. Then we can have a competition in the future. I like to play the queen."
Her words were awkward and hesitant. Chu Rui gave her a cold look, then turned and left.
Karen wasn't embarrassed at all. She didn't want to marry Chu Rui herself, but since someone was objecting, she was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet.
Of course, if the Bai family's uprising succeeds, then...
She still liked being the empress. Seeing Kailin's eyes darting around, Madam Bai's face darkened. This woman was too stupid and she disliked her very much.
"Kaylin, go find Chu Rui. I have something to discuss with my father."
"yes."
Karen left respectfully.
