Liu Erniang and others were taken away, and Bai Heng's eyes fell on the indifferent woman in red in the hall.
This person is the one who saved A Chu mentioned by A Xuan, Zhao Chuchu.
During the trial of Liu Erniang and others, Bai Heng observed her from time to time. The woman stood in the majestic court, calm and composed, with confidence. When facing the aggressive arguments of Liu Erniang and others, she calmly produced evidence. After winning the lawsuit against Liu Erniang and others, she did not become complacent.
She remained calm, as if she had already anticipated the outcome of the trial.
Bai Heng had tried many people in court, but he had never seen anyone with such a magnanimous demeanor as Zhao Chuchu.
Is this person really just from the countryside?
Bai Heng seemed to be lost in thought.
At this moment, the man in the hall seemed to notice her gaze, was slightly stunned, clasped his hands together and bowed.
Bai Heng beckoned over his personal servant and whispered a few words to him.
The servant nodded and went to Zhao Chuchu who was about to leave.
"Miss, our master wants to see you."
…
Zhao Chuchu stepped into the Bai Mansion again, and Zhang Xiuyuan came with her.
In the hall, besides Wei Xuan and Bai Chu, there was also Bai Heng who had taken off his official uniform and was wearing only casual clothes.
"Sister Zhao, Brother Yuan." When Bai Chu saw them for the first time, he hurriedly asked them to sit down.
Bai Heng looked at her son with a smile on his face, feeling a little dazed. It had been a long time since she saw her son smile. Now, Ah Chu had become much more cheerful and loved to laugh, but Bai Heng knew that was not a gift from her as a mother.
Bai Heng looked at Wei Xuan beside him, his brows were soft and there was a faint smile in his eyes.
As if he noticed her gaze, the gentle young man turned his head slightly to look at him, his brows suddenly became indifferent, he glanced at her lightly, then looked away, distant and unfamiliar.
Bai Heng felt a sudden pain in his heart.
Even though my husband and son are by my side, I feel very lonely.
"Miss Zhao, Mr. Zhang, my son's condition has improved thanks to you two. I would like to offer you a cup of tea instead of wine." Bai Heng suppressed the bitterness in his heart, picked up the warm tea and drank it all in one gulp.
"Your Excellency is too polite. Speaking of which, it is also because we have a connection with your husband and Ah Chu, and Zhao happens to understand this kind of disease. Ah Chu is a good child. My husband and I are very relieved to see him healthy."
Zhao Chuchu was modest and didn't get complacent because of Bai Heng's gratitude. Finally, she said, "Furthermore, today in the court, your Excellency was able to enforce the law impartially and punish Liu Erniang and other thieves. This is the greatest gratitude to the Zhao family."
"As an official appointed by the imperial court, it is my duty to enforce the law impartially."
Finally, at Bai Heng's invitation, Zhao Chuchu and Zhang Xiuyuan had lunch with the family of three before leaving the Bai Mansion.
Ah Chu's health had improved a lot, but he still couldn't eat much. After Zhao Chuchu and the others left, he also returned to his room.
Only Bai Heng and Wei Xuan were left at the dinner table.
He had a slender figure and was dressed in white, spotless. His expression made Wei Xuan, who already had an indifferent look, look even more indifferent.
He lowered his long and thick eyelashes slightly, and his eating movements were calm and elegant, his demeanor was extremely pleasing to the eye.
Bai Heng couldn't remember how many times she had secretly looked at him. She opened her mouth and tried to speak several times, but stopped herself.
Until Wei Xuan finished his meal, he gently put down his chopsticks.
"A Xuan, let me serve you another bowl of soup so you can eat more." Bai Heng rolled up his sleeves, picked up Wei Xuan's bowl, and was about to serve soup.
Wei Xuan raised his curled eyelashes slightly and said lightly: "No need, my wife, Wei Xuan is full."
