“My life is yours.
I won't betray you, and I will always stand by you. It's just that An An is my child, and I want to clarify what happened back then." Qingchuan explained, fearing that Bai Yanyan would misunderstand him.
Seeing his serious face, Bai Yanyan smiled brightly, "I believe you."
She had known for a long time that Qingchuan was hiding something from her, but she didn't ask because, firstly, she trusted Qingchuan; secondly, she felt that everyone had their own secrets, and since she trusted Qingchuan, there was no need to ask.
But Qingchuan spoke.
Bai Yanyan rolled her eyes, pulled him over and told him her plan.
——-
Lunar New Year's eve.
The streets became deserted and everyone stayed at home to prepare.
The Bai family became lively. After all... the elders all came back at noon that day.
Bai Yanyan then discovered that in addition to the second uncle, she also had the first uncle, the third aunt, and the fourth uncle, and... the second uncle's grandson was quite handsome, a shy and handsome young man in his early twenties.
And... besides her uncle Bai Tianhao, she also has an aunt.
It's just that my aunt married far away, and my uncle was just an ordinary scholar. After marrying my aunt, the two of them found a place with beautiful scenery to retire to, and the whole family stayed there to grow vegetables and so on.
They would only come to the Bai family to celebrate the New Year together every five years. As for the uncles, they were not in the imperial city. They each found a small town to settle down or lived in seclusion in the mountains.
Why?
Because the head of the Bai family is too unreliable, he has enemies all over the continent.
They can't afford to offend these old bones! So they simply gave up the noble background of the Qingyou Bai family and returned to their hometown to retire.
He would only come back once unless there was something important or the Chinese New Year. Usually, he wished he had nothing to do with the Qingyou Bai family.
"But why have you become so much whiter, girl? It's like you've become a different person, right?"
Bai Yanyan... When the original owner was first brought back, several uncles rushed back. Their memories of Bai Yanyan were still of her being "pale and skinny like a monkey", "impolite", "rude", and "a little country waste". Now, when they saw this pretty little girl, they were all shocked.
"Are you that kid Si Fei pretending to be you?"
"Master, didn't Si Fei just take away the good wine you brought? He seemed to say he was going to take it to the Hua family and give it to the boy from the Hua family."
Everyone: “…”
Why did this person from our family turn his arm outward?
"That's Bai Ruochen. He looks like a fox. He originally came for Bai Yun. I don't know if he has captured Bai Yun in the past year. Bai Yun already has dozens of people and doesn't even have a wife and children. How can he be the head of the family?"
Bai Yanyan: "...Uncle, my father doesn't have a wife, but he has a child, and that's me."
With the testimony of their uncle and second grandfather, the elders finally believed that the pretty girl in front of them was the illegitimate daughter that Bai Yun had brought back from outside.
"Well, as expected, if you take good care of your ugly appearance, you will become more beautiful."
"Your eyes, nose, and face are exactly the same as Bai Yun's. They're equally beautiful."
While the elders were praising her, they also gave the gifts they brought to Bai Yanyan.
They are basically some girls' things, including jade jewelry, lip balm and various small gadgets, but no matter what, no matter how small, the quality is of the best, and the jade jewelry is especially top-grade.
Bai Yanyan was holding a bunch of things and was greeted by a group of people with concern. She could only respond one by one, smiling, well-behaved, sensible and cute, and the group of elders were instantly melted by her.
Look, look!
This is the child of their Bai family!
Unlike that bastard patriarch, who only wanted to create chaos in the world, never came home, and was always causing trouble and making a bunch of enemies! And that wasn't the point. The point was, his six disciples! Except for Ye Qing, all of them were just like him!
One Bai Yun is enough, plus five disciples who are as troublesome as him.
They just wish they could escape to the ends of the earth and have nothing to do with the Bai family!
"My child, you must not learn from your father, nor from your brothers. You must also not learn from them. Just be a good boy. Go to school when you should, spend your family's money when you should, lie down when you should, and enjoy your life when you should."
Girls, of course, need to be raised.
Anyway, the Bai family can take good care of her.
"Yeah, I will."
Bai Yanyan agreed, and was finally pulled aside by her aunt Bai Zhi.
She is in her early forties, but she is well maintained, with a healthy complexion and a healthy blood circulation. Unlike her father who is unreliable and her uncle who is aloof, she is a very gentle person, and even her speech is slow and pleasant.
"Yan'er."
Bai Zhi held Bai Yanyan's hand and said gently, "Don't worry about what they say. Just do whatever you want. Don't think too much. Besides, your father is here to take care of everything."
Those older generations seem good now.
But they were all under pressure from Bai Yun. If Bai Yun wasn't so powerful, they wouldn't have shown such a kind side.
Just like she had been threatened and coerced before, but it was only because her brother stood by her that she was able to marry the person she loved without hesitation and live the life she liked.
"I know."
No one can stop her from doing what she wants to do, and no one can force her to do what she doesn't want to do.
"That's good. Life is so short, you must do things that make you happy. Don't make things difficult for yourself."
The place became more lively with more people around. The second uncle handed his granddaughter, who was just a few months old, to Bai Yanyan and asked her to play with her. Then the others got busy.
Bai Yanyan, who had a child stuffed into her body for no apparent reason, responded: "..."
Second Grandpa, I don’t want to take care of the baby!
Fortunately, the little baby is cute, good-looking and well-behaved. She smiles a bit like the second grandfather, so Bai Yanyan is happy to tease her. The handsome grandson is called Bai Yixu.
He sat quietly aside, occasionally stealing glances at Bai Yanyan, his cheeks slightly red.
"Little cousin, you didn't believe what Second Grandpa said and wanted to marry me, did you? I don't do incest."
"No, I..." Bai Yixu hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to explain, and his face turned even redder.
Although he did not stay in the imperial city and did not like to practice swordsmanship, he liked to make pills. His grandfather had brought back a lot of pills before, saying that they were made by his uncle's little cousin. Those pills were all top-grade. He thought she was very powerful and always wanted to meet her.
