Bai Zhirou carried a bag and took Mingcui to move into Haitang Garden.
Someone told Princess Rong everything that had just happened word for word.
At this time, Princess Rong was comforting Xia Yuning, whose eyes were swollen from crying.
When she heard the servant's report, her face turned cold.
I originally thought that this girl from a humble family would be introverted and timid, but unexpectedly she is quite good at pretending.
Even Nanny Jiang, whom she sent over, was shocked just now.
He failed to show his power, and instead was put at a disadvantage by Bai Zhirou who took advantage of Chen Zhao's momentum.
Now he has tricks even on a low-ranking maid. It seems that Bai Zhirou must not be underestimated!
"She is just a fourteen-year-old girl, she can't do anything wrong!" Princess Rong sneered.
Xia Yuning didn't say anything because she knew that in her previous life, Bai Zhirou was executed for offending the powerful at a banquet.
Neither the prince nor the princess shed a single tear, which was enough to show that the princess disliked her own daughter.
I think it’s the same in this life!
Bai Zhirou just told the prince and princess what she had dreamed about, and they were both scared out of their wits and broke out in cold sweats.
"It's just a nightmare, don't be afraid, Yuning." The princess comforted softly.
"No! This is true. The immortal in my dream told me that I must never marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!" The prince and the princess looked at each other, and they both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Bai Zhirou will be executed soon. Mother, just wait and see!" In order to verify the truth of her words, Xia Yuning hurriedly made a prediction.
The prince and his wife don't have much affection for Bai Zhirou, who they just found.
Hadn't these fourteen years gone by without her?
The one who is raised by your side is your daughter.
As night was about to fall, everyone in the palace seemed to remember that Bai Zhirou existed.
Nanny Jiang arrived late. She came to invite Bai Zhirou to have dinner in the dining room.
"Thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip, Madam." Bai Zhirou looked at her with a half-smile.
When she arrived, everyone had almost finished eating, and the table was full of leftovers.
"I'm so sorry, Sister Zhirou. Mother saw that I had just recovered from a high fever and urged me to eat it. I wanted to wait for you to come together." Xia Yuning forced a weak smile on her pale face. "Why don't you ask the kitchen to make some more? This one is already cold."
Today is the day Bai Zhirou officially returns home, and her three adoptive brothers are all looking at her.
Their eyes seemed cold, inquiring, and mocking, as if they were afraid that she would rely on them.
"Sister Yuning, you are too kind-hearted. Even when you are sick, you are still thinking about others." The eldest brother Xia Mingyang spoke and picked up the only remaining abalone for her.
Xia Yuning glanced at Bai Zhirou and ate it reluctantly.
"Isn't there still soup? Is that enough?" The second brother, Xia Yifeng, pretended to scoop a spoonful of soup, but then poured it all onto the ground. "Oops, my hand slipped. Now there's no soup to drink."
"I'll be frank, I don't welcome you back. Don't try to replace Sister Yuning! You don't deserve it!" After saying this, the third brother Xia Minglang stood up and left, leaving only his back to everyone.
Bai Zhirou's eyes filled with tears instantly. "I never thought of competing with Yu Ning. I don't want family or favors! I just want to see if mother, father, and brothers are doing well!"
"If there's no place for me here, then I'll go back to my Jiangnan!"
Bai Zhirou grew up in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River and looks like a gentle girl from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
At this moment, tears were about to fall, and she bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, looking stubborn and tough.
Xia Yifeng's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and when he reacted, he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
After Bai Zhirou finished speaking, she ran out crying without giving anyone a chance to react.
Mingcui hurriedly chased after him.
At that time, there was a strong wind, dark clouds and raindrops as big as beans fell down.
The summer rainstorm came suddenly, soaking Bai Zhirou, who had just run out of the house, like a drowned chicken.
She ran wildly in the heavy rain, her old clothes clinging to her body, feeling sticky and uncomfortable.
After running a long way, he turned a corner and accidentally bumped into someone coming towards him.
After being knocked away, the paper umbrella fell upside down to the ground. There was a pattern of a tiger descending the mountain painted on the umbrella, and next to it was a dragon-like and phoenix-like inscription and a seal, Zhang Nan.
A famous calligrapher in the previous dynasty.
This umbrella with a poem written by him is worth a fortune, not to mention that there is a blue gem inlaid on the handle.
It was raining heavily and no one noticed these details except the owner of the umbrella.
"Hey! Don't you have eyes when you walk?" Shen Zhao cursed angrily. His Ruhua was killed without a trace by another general, and she hid in the cage and didn't even dare to scream.
But when he saw who was coming, he shut up.
"Bai Zhirou, why is it you?" Chen Zhao recognized the person. "Why are you acting crazy in such a rainy day? Do you know how dangerous it was just now? If you hadn't bumped into me, you would have been dead!"
There were so many nobles in the capital that a plaque was dropped on them. Four of the five people were nobles, and one was a royal relative.
These people usually have bad tempers.
"But luckily, it was me you bumped into. I won't bother with a little girl like you!" Shen Zhao took out an umbrella and held it over their heads.
Bai Zhirou, whose head and face were drenched by the rain, could finally take a breath. As for Mingcui, she also held an umbrella over her head.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Bai Zhirou apologized softly. She had just been knocked to the ground and injured her foot, and she couldn't get up now.
"Can you still walk? I'll take you back." Chen Zhao wanted to pull the man up, but it was not appropriate for men and women to touch each other.
If this gets out, it doesn’t matter what happens to him, but if the gossip about this little girl spreads, she may not be able to survive.
Bai Zhirou shook her head and pulled up her trouser leg a little, "I sprained my foot and can't move."
When Shen Zhao's eyes touched the rain-soaked skin, they quickly turned away.
Just when he was worrying, the servant came out in a carriage to pick him up.
This also included her.
"I won't let you go back with wet clothes like this. I will never do such a thing." Shen Zhao said, "Don't worry, you are inside and I am outside. We won't be close to each other."
After saying this, the curtain dropped and the carriage slowly started moving.
Bai Zhirou was warmed by his attitude.
She thought he was a playboy, a womanizer and a spendthrift.
The dandy I actually met was very elegant and would not look at anything inappropriate.
"Tongzi, is he really a playboy?" Why does this character seem a bit broken?
"It's more real than real gold! But if it falls into your hands in the future, won't it be up to you to decide whether he becomes a playboy or a pillar of society?" said the child-bearing system.
Bai Zhirou was shamefully moved.
Chen Zhao is not bad looking, even better than the top stars.
With such a good family background, Xia Yuning must be crazy not to want to get married!
