Uncle Liang: "You were trying to kill her just now?"
Bai Shuang: "Uncle Liang, do you think she could escape if I really wanted to kill her?"
\"Why?\"
Bai Shuang's lips curled slightly. "Didn't Uncle Liang ask her before he called me over?"
"She only said you wanted to kill her, and that there were deep handprints on her neck."
Bai Shuang almost laughed out of anger at him. "So, Uncle Liang thinks that no matter the reason, if I lay a hand on her, it's wrong, even if she tries to stab me with a knife, I can only endure it, right?"
At this moment, the snow leopard, sensing hostility, suddenly bared its teeth at Uncle Liang and barked...
Uncle Liang was startled, but quickly recovered. "I told you, please be lenient. Her father is a key figure in Kyoto's infrastructure development, so she can't afford any mistakes."
Bai Xue thought to herself, "What does it have to do with me whether I take on the main responsibility or not?"
"I've said it before, please keep an eye on her. If anyone raises a knife against me, even if her father is the King of Heaven, I will kill her!"
Give in to her? I'm not her mother. Just because her father is powerful and influential doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants. If parents don't raise their children well, they'll have to face the harsh realities of society!
Uncle Liang frowned. "Her family background is so good that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're the richest family in China. They're a perfect match for Lu Yu, and she can be a great asset to him in the future."
"When did it become Uncle Liang's place to worry about my marriage? Don't tell me you're doing this for my own good; I'll make my own judgment."
As for whether Shuangshuang will kill anyone, you don't need to worry about that at all. If she wants to kill someone, that person deserves to die.
As the sound rang out, Lu Yu, Bai Jiu, and Bai Chang hurriedly walked in.
Bai Shuang felt a warmth in her heart. Although she was not afraid of Uncle Liang, it was still nice to be cared for and to feel that she was not fighting alone.
Uncle Liang sent his own men to find Bai Shuang because he didn't want Lu Yu and the others to know. But he forgot that this was someone else's military camp, and Lu Yu knew his own camp inside and out.
He also underestimated Bai Shuang's standing among the officers and soldiers. Bai Shuang hadn't been wasting her time in the military camp over the past year.
The moment the soldier took Bai Shuang away, someone informed Lu Yu, telling him everything they had seen. At the same time, someone else notified Bai Jiu and Bai Chang.
This is what people want; you don't need to specifically assign or inform them, and you don't need to pay them, people will take the initiative to do it.
After they found out, they all rushed over here, and Lu Yu and Bai Jiu met on the way.
Uncle Liang stood up excitedly and said loudly, "Ayu, that's your Uncle Ling's daughter."
His expression was one of deep sorrow and indignation.
Snow leopard, bark woof woof! If you dare to bark again, I'll bite you to death!
Lu Yu frowned. "Everyone has to pay the price for their mistakes."
Bai Jiu said, "With you protecting that Miss Ling like this, I seriously suspect she's your illegitimate daughter."
\"you--!\"
Uncle Liang was so angry that his eyes turned red, his lips trembled, and he stammered "you" for a long time, unable to speak.
Bai Jiu: "Did I hit the nail on the head? You're speechless now, aren't you?"
Bai Chang: "Bai Jiu, stop talking. That's Uncle Liang's secret; no one can know it."
Lu Yu looked out the window, seemingly not having heard.
Bai Shuang suppressed a laugh, watching Bai Jiu and the other two berate Uncle Liang, but did not stop them. Who told this old man to be so snobbish and so biased towards Ling Qingyao?
An illegitimate daughter? Probably not, but his behavior is definitely not for the sake of the bigger picture. Either he has a very close relationship with the Ling family, or he has received some benefits from the Ling family.
Originally, he was, after all, Lu Yu's grandfather's personal guard and Lu Yu's elder, so Bai Shuang and Lu Yu were willing to give him face. Unfortunately, he was just too nosy.
They actually interfered in Lu Yu's marriage and even tried to threaten and intimidate Bai Shuang with the Ling family's status, crossing their bottom line. It's good to get angry.
After the illegitimate daughter incident, Uncle Liang fell ill the next day. He was treated by Dr. Ma, and it is said that he was a bit so angry that he suffered a heart attack.
Bai Shuang certainly wouldn't care. If you're unfriendly to me, I'm not going to help you.
I heard that a soldier went to deliver food to Uncle Liang, and seeing that no one was around, he quietly leaned close to his ear and asked, "I heard that Miss Ling is your biological daughter, is that true?"
Uncle Liang gritted his teeth, grabbed a steamed bun, and smashed it over the soldier's head. The soldier caught the bun and walked out, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Liang."
They rarely ate steamed buns normally. In years of food shortage, the only reason they could eat potatoes was because Bai Shuang had suggested planting on the hillside; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to get potatoes at all.
Whether the soldier did it on purpose or not, nobody knows.
In the following days, Uncle Liang continued to lie in bed to recuperate, and Miss Ling seemed to sense everyone's strange looks, becoming much more well-behaved, though she would occasionally go out to see the world.
However, they only brought two soldiers who had come with them from the capital.
By the end of May, the production of mulberry bark paper was more than halfway complete. The soldiers were already quite skilled, and Bai Shuang and the others no longer needed to stay in the barracks every day. They spent most of their time living in the Yichen residential area.
Every few days when I returned to the barracks, I would bring everyone some cucumbers, tomatoes, black tomatoes, and even strawberries—herbaceous fruits that could be grown indoors—to supplement their vitamin intake.
We'll also steam some buns and steamed rolls to take with us as a token of our gratitude for their hard work.
As a result, if they didn't go to the military camp for a week, everyone would be eagerly waiting for them.
Once inside the paper mill, everyone would say, "Dr. Bai, we're enough to handle the work here. You can go home and rest, and maybe plant some more vegetables and fruits."
Bai Shuang was a little dumbfounded, unsure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
However, everyone worked very carefully and diligently, which is enough; their efforts were not in vain.
