Chapter 525 My Husband Won’t Let Me Marry
The Great Elder's expression darkened, and he said, "There's still one question left. Let's answer them all at once."
He was still struggling, hoping that Bai Yun could suppress Bai Chen by one question, so that he wouldn't be so prominent and difficult to control in the future.
Bai Chen looked at the Great Elder calmly, "Please ask a question."
Bai Yun was already beginning to show his impatience, and his eyes were filled with resentment as he looked at the Great Elder.
The Great Elder lowered his eyes for a moment and said, "The Feng family is now powerless, and the only one that can suppress the Bai family is the Marquis' Mansion."
"After all, they are officials and have control over us. So, you two should discuss whether you will oppose the Marquis' Mansion or submit to it in the future?"
Bai Yun had no idea about this, so he just stood there without saying a word.
Bai Chen smiled and said, "I've already thought about this matter. We will not oppose the Marquis' Mansion nor submit to it. Instead, we will make friends with the Marquis' Mansion and use each other's strengths."
"The Marquis' Mansion is short of money, and we are short of power. If we join forces and each gets what it needs, then why worry about our Bai family's business not growing?"
The Great Elder nodded, "Hmm..."
There was no more contempt in his eyes when he looked at Bai Chen, but instead it was replaced by deep appreciation, which showed that he was very satisfied with Bai Chen's performance.
Bai Yun said angrily: "I don't care about the position of the head of the Bai family at all. Hurry up and give me money, and I will leave here with my mother."
Mrs. Qin waved her hand, and the nanny beside her handed over a stack of banknotes.
"Here's ten thousand taels. You can go now. The Great Elder will take care of the pass for you. Don't come back. We won't interfere with each other."
Bai Yun took the banknote and took a look at it. He bowed to Qin and said, "Thank you very much. Goodbye."
After saying that, he hurriedly pulled his mother away.
Su Nuan said to the space spirit, "Go and see where that mother and son can go."
The space spirit was also curious, so she immediately followed.
Not long after, the space spirit came back with a strange look on his face.
Su Nuan asked: "What's wrong? What's that expression?"
The space spirit scratched his head and said, "Humans are so insidious. Those mother and son are not mother and son at all."
"The woman was selling wine, and the man was a disguised man. They divided the money and ran away as soon as they left."
Su Nuan, "..." Well, ever since entering the Bai family, the people and things I encountered have never been normal.
The mourning hall was bustling with people coming to congratulate Bai Chen. Su Nuan felt bored and sneaked away.
The space spirit said, "In just less than two days, I feel like my brain is not enough."
Su Nuan felt the same way, "Yes, the people and things in the Bai family are really weird.
She returned to her residence, and the maid came to deliver lunch at noon.
Su Nuan felt bored, so she said, "Go tell Bai Chen that I'm leaving the house and tell him not to worry about me."
The little maid said, "The eldest master said he would come after dinner. You can tell him in person."
Su Nuan nodded and could only wait.
Fortunately, Bai Chen arrived quickly. When Su Nuan entered the room, she mistakenly thought that a big yellow dog wagging its tail ran in.
Su Nuan looked at him speechlessly.
Bai Chen, with a smile on his face, asked for praise, "Did I do well?"
Su Nuan didn't hit him, but nodded and said, "You did a great job. I underestimated you. You are fully capable of taking control of the Bai family."
She was so shocked by what happened in Luancheng that she almost forgot the purpose of her visit.
She took the opportunity to say, "I have something to do and need to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. Aunt Bai said she would give me a shop on a street. Have you thought about which street you would give me?"
Bai Chen smiled and said, "She must be talking about the shop on East Street. Don't worry, I will save all the profits from the shop for you and wait for you to come and get them."
Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you give me some food and I'll take it back to the north."
"It's useless for me to come to the shop. Please leave me the largest one. It would be best if it can be used as a warehouse. After all, there are many new things in the north that can be brought here to sell."
Bai Chen thought for a moment and said, "Then you don't need a shop. I can send a caravan to your place to exchange goods. After all, people there also need things like cloth."
Su Nuan pondered for a moment and decided that this was feasible. How could a city be revitalized without trade? Therefore, establishing a stable trade caravan with Luancheng would be of great benefit to Sifang City.
"Okay, can you prepare food and a team to deliver it for me?"
Bai Chen nodded, "Of course, I'll send someone to go with you to familiarize yourself with the route."
Su Nuan glanced sideways, "Can't you go by yourselves? I'll draw a map for you and give you a token so you don't get stuck at the door."
Bai Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Aren't you sending a caravan out? You can ask Ouyang Xing for a token."
Su Nuan felt that he should get a token so that Li Fengxing could use it when doing business, and also show his identity in other cities.
"Well, I'd better go then. Oh, and I'll get you some medicine."
Speaking of medicine, Bai Chen said excitedly: "The detoxification pills you gave me are so effective. If you hadn't given them to me in advance, I might have been lying in the mourning hall next to my father."
Su Nuan was startled and asked, "What happened?"
Bai Chen sighed, "I don't know who poisoned me, it took me a long time to stop defecating."
"If I hadn't been poisoned, my mother wouldn't have asked someone to pretend to be my mistress to speed up my becoming the head of the family."
Su Nuan pursed her lips. She had underestimated Qin. She must have known who poisoned her, but she just couldn't say it out loud.
Bai Chen continued, "My mother is quite amazing, well...both of them are amazing."
Su Nuan glanced sideways. The two mothers he mentioned were Qin and Aunt Bai. He was really a lucky child. Both of his non-blood-related mothers loved him.
"Okay, these are for you. I'm going to the Marquis' Mansion now."
Su Nuan handed Bai Chen a bag of medicine bottles and a token to enter the North City produced by the space, and stood up to leave.
Bai Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you really not staying? Although I'm a little afraid of you, I'm also really willing to marry you."
Su Nuan said without turning her head: "Then I will go back to the north and ask my husband to see if he is willing to let you marry me."
Bai Chen was petrified on the spot!
Su Nuan ran out of the Bai Mansion happily. Since she had reached an agreement with the Bai Mansion about the caravan, she let the Bai family go and did not empty the house.
When Su Nuan arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, the gate was closed, so she climbed over the wall to go in.
When she arrived at the backyard and saw no one, she shouted, "Ouyang Xing, where the hell have you been?"
Not long after, Ouyang Xing, dressed in a servant's uniform, stood under the eaves and said, "Here... come here..."
Su Nuan walked over and looked at Ouyang Xing. "What are you doing? Have you been demoted to a slave?"
Ouyang Xing was not angry at being teased, and smiled and said, "That's about right."
He took Su Nuan and the other person to a room in the backyard. After entering, he saw that the furnishings inside were ordinary and did not look like a place for guests to stay.
Ouyang Xing came behind the screen and pressed on the wall. A square brick was recessed into the wall, and the simple bed became a flap door.
"Let's go, we're all down there."
Su Nuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why would I suspect you were going to trick me into going down and imprison me?"
Ouyang Xing's mouth twitched, and he simply ignored Su Nuan and jumped down.
The space spirit followed and took a look. She sent a message to Su Nuan, "Come down quickly."
