A large group of people entered the Bai family's house, and the home that Bai's father and mother thought was still okay suddenly became crowded.
Especially the flower hall used to receive distinguished guests, the chairs were full, and the village head and elders could only stand aside.
But this does not prevent them from coming into contact with noble people.
They watched Bai Zhirou grow up, from a little girl into a graceful young lady.
Suddenly one day, Bai's mother, Mrs. He, told the truth before she died.
This little girl is actually the biological daughter of Prince Rong of the capital!
The babies were switched when the two ladies were giving birth!
Now looking at this girl from the capital, I suddenly feel that there is a bit of the shadow of Bai's father and mother in her eyebrows. She is undoubtedly their biological daughter.
"Mom and Dad, have you eaten well while I'm away?" Bai Zhirou asked playfully as she remembered.
"Of course I did. You must have suffered a lot of injustice outside. Look at you, you've lost a lot of weight."
Bai's mother loved her daughter so much that she pulled Bai Zhirou and looked at her naturally.
But these words caused dissatisfaction among Prince Rong.
"Mrs. Bai, do you mean that my Rong Palace has treated Zhirou badly?" His voice was low and majestic, which frightened Bai's mother so much that her face turned pale and she stood up at a loss.
Bai Zhirou was annoyed by Prince Rong's dog-like behavior. "What kind of life am I leading in Prince Rong's mansion? Doesn't Prince Rong know?"
The fact that she is still standing here safe and sound shows that she is lucky!
Prince Rong was choked by her rude words and turned away with a grim expression.
I just took a sip of tea, but because it was bitter and hard to swallow, I couldn't lose my manners in front of so many people, so I forced myself to swallow it.
"Sister Zhirou, how could you talk back to father like that? In front of so many people?" Xia Yuning would speak without hesitation as soon as she caught Bai Zhirou doing something wrong.
The atmosphere among the few people suddenly became tense. The head of the village and the clan leader saw the problem at a glance, but they had little influence and could not interrupt.
"Today is the day you recognize your biological mother. This is your biological mother. Can you just watch her suffer injustice?"
Bai Zhirou's question was very sharp, and no matter how Xia Yuning answered, it would be wrong.
Princess Rong glared at Bai Zhirou and Prince Rong, smiled sweetly, and asked the servants to carry in all the gifts.
There were boxes and boxes of gifts. When they were opened, they were full of gold, silver and jewelry. They were treasures that the people in their village had never seen in their lifetime!
Not only the village head and the clan leader, but even Mr. and Mrs. Bai, who thought they were knowledgeable, subconsciously took a breath.
If just a little bit of the stuff that leaked out of those boxes was enough to keep the family well-fed and well-clothed for the rest of their lives.
Princess Rong was very satisfied when she saw the expressions of the Bai family.
"This is a matter between Prince Rong's Mansion and the Bai family. Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Third Prince, please step aside for a moment." Princess Rong said.
The third prince was a little worried about Bai Zhirou, while the crown prince was a little worried about Xia Yuning. He heard that it was Xia Yuning who came to persuade his mother to let him help control the flood.
He actually had some good feelings towards Xia Yuning.
As if she felt his gaze, Xia Yuning smiled gently at him.
The two men went out with their respective guards, and the room suddenly became much emptier.
"We like this child Yu Ning very much. She is destined to be with our Rong Palace. This is her good fortune. I think Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai should understand what I mean, right?" said the Princess Rong.
Mr. and Mrs. Bai remembered that a woman who claimed to be Nanny Jiang came to their house yesterday and warned them to give up their plan to take the child back.
Otherwise, Prince Rong’s Mansion has plenty of ways to destroy their families!
He also said that if they did not acknowledge the child, they would be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory for the rest of their lives!
The threats and inducements made Bai's father and mother angry and helpless.
She is their biological daughter, what's wrong in recognizing her?
Moreover, the people in the village always believe in tracing their ancestors and returning to their roots.
When Mr. and Mrs. Bai saw the boxes of things in front of them, their faces looked a little gloomy.
Bai Zhirou knew that Princess Rong had invested a lot of money.
Seeing that the two elders didn't say anything, Xia Yuning stood up and knelt in front of them, kowtowed three times.
Bai's father and mother were so frightened that they were at a loss as to what to do.
"I have no way to repay my parents for giving me life. I can only kowtow three times to express my gratitude."
"Fortunately, my sister Zhirou stayed by my parents' side and fulfilled my filial duties for fourteen years."
"Prince Rong and Princess Princess treat me as their own child. I have no way to repay their kindness in raising me. I hope my parents will help their daughter achieve this fate."
Xia Yuning's words clearly showed that she was unwilling to return to Mr. and Mrs. Bai, and could only kowtow three times to express her friendship.
There is nothing more to say.
The village head and the clan leader were also very angry about her attitude, but they had no way to deal with it.
After all, this is just the Bai family's family affair.
In fact, Bai's father and mother had thought about this all night last night. Although Xia Yuning was related to them by blood, she had been raised outside for fourteen years and had been accustomed to a life of luxury. She would definitely not want to return to this remote mountain village.
But figuring it out yourself is one thing, and hearing her say it with her own ears is another.
The deeper the love parents have, the more far-reaching their plans will be. Bai's father stepped forward and helped the man up.
"It's enough for us to know that you are living a good life. It is your blessing to be the child of a noble man." Father Bai's tone was gentle, but there was a hint of fatigue between his brows.
Bai Zhirou knew that they had compromised.
After discussing the family affairs, Xia Yuning did not have to return to this shabby little mountain village. She could keep her wealth and splendor!
Then came lunch, which was the Bai family’s family recognition banquet. A banquet was also held for the villagers, and everyone in the village came.
Everyone was having lunch happily, and Bai Zhirou kept telling her stories to make her parents happy.
"Where did this crazy Taoist priest come from? He refuses to eat the food even though it's given to him!" An auntie's sharp voice came over, and everyone put down their chopsticks at once.
It turned out that the crazy Taoist priest ignored the aunt's obstruction and went straight into the yard where the banquet was set up.
Bai Zhirou looked at him and saw that his clothes were dirty and his hair was sticky to his head as if it hadn't been washed for several months. He looked smelly.
Father Bai had someone bring him food, but he didn't even look at it, his eyes fixed on Bai Zhirou.
His eyes were filled with sharp insight, which made Bai Zhirou feel uncomfortable.
Shen Zhao sensed this keenly, and stood up and walked out to block his sight.
"Master, is there anything I can do for you?" Shen Zhao put away his usual playful expression and asked with a serious face.
"There's a purple aura rising from the east over my courtyard, a sign of prosperity and thriving, so I wanted to come and see it!"
"It's just strange that there's a hint of black energy in this purple energy! If it's not removed, it will become a serious problem!"
