On the other side, Sisi took Xiaozhuzhu to visit the Empress Dowager and the Empress before coming to find Lao Bai.
If we don't return Little Pearl to Old Bai soon, he'll get angry with her.
Also, if she doesn't pay it back soon, she won't be able to bear to pay it back; she's already starting to feel reluctant to do so.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress gave Zhuzhu a bunch of gifts. Firstly, they really liked little Zhuzhu. Secondly, Ning Yirong and Sisi had stolen someone else's child; as elders, they couldn't just pretend they didn't know, could they?
Old Bai was chatting with Duan Ruoqing when he suddenly heard his little daughter's voice. Old Bai rubbed his ears. "Wife, go to the palace and bring our little daughter back. I miss her so much I'm hallucinating."
Duan Ruoqing laughed upon hearing this. "It wasn't an illusion, I heard that too."
Old Bai's eyes widened instantly. "You heard that too?"
"I heard you."
Old Bai dashed out in a flash. "Daughter! Daughter!"
Duan Ruoqing quickly chased after her. "Slow down, don't scare Zhuzhu."
"Yes, yes, slow down, slow down."
Old Bai agreed verbally, but his pace didn't slow down at all.
A moment later, Lao Bai saw Sisi and Xiaozhuzhu.
Upon seeing this, Lao Bai slowed down. "Yun Xiaoliu, you've finally decided to give my little daughter back to me?"
"Yes. If you don't pay it back soon, I won't be able to bear to pay it back."
"If you like it, just have one yourself. Zhuzhu, come here, let Daddy hold you."
Zhuzhu no longer remembers Lao Bai.
Zhuzhu wouldn't let Lao Bai hug her.
Old Bai glared at Sisi. "It's all your fault."
Sisi denied it. "How can you blame me? Ruoqing, come and hug her. See if Zhuzhu will let you hug her?"
"Okay." Duan Ruoqing clapped her hands. "Zhuzhu, do you still remember Mommy? How about Mommy hugs you?"
Zhuzhu still had some impression of Duan Ruoqing.
After Duan Ruoqing opened her hand, Zhuzhu stretched out her two chubby little hands.
Old Bai: "..." Daughter, you can't only remember your mother and not your father, or your father will be sad.
Sisi gave the pearl to Duan Ruoqing. "See? It wasn't because of me, was it?"
"Hmph!" Old Bai brought his face close to Zhuzhu's. "Daughter, take a good look again. I am your father."
Zhuzhu doesn't want to watch.
Zhuzhu raised her two chubby little hands and pushed Lao Bai's face to the other side.
Old Bai was heartbroken. "Yun Xiaoliu, it's all your fault."
"How can you blame me? It's clearly because you're not likable."
"Hmph! Xiao Bai said that Twelve has taken a fancy to the eldest daughter of Vice Minister Su of the Ministry of Works, did you know that?"
"I know. Hei Bao told me. What's that girl like?"
"Not bad. I used to help other girls scam 12 or 13." When it comes to intelligence gathering, if Lao Bai is number two, no one dares to claim the top spot.
Sisi became interested. "How did she help other girls scam twelve and thirteen?"
Old Bai picked out two items and talked about them.
Sisi laughed after hearing this. "Do you think the young ladies who hired Miss Su would feel cheated if they knew she was engaged to Twelve? Would they demand Miss Su return their money?"
Old Bai glared at Sisi. "Look how happy you are. Don't you think her dowry is too small?"
Sisi glanced at Lao Bai. "Am I such a shallow person? Tell me again, what else has Miss Su done?"
The quickest way to understand a person is to see what they have done.
Logically, given Su Xiaoya's status, Lao Bai shouldn't have paid attention to her. But since she frequently kept an eye on Twelve and Thirteen, Lao Bai decided to investigate her thoroughly.
Here, Lao Bai told Sisi everything he had found out.
On the other side, Hei Bao, Shi Si, Gou Wa, and Gou Sheng killed a wild boar.
The four people were very happy.
Just as they were about to go back, Fourteen suddenly saw a snow-white little fox.
Fourteen took a liking to it at first sight. "Wait a moment, I'll go and catch that little fox."
After saying that, Fourteen ran towards the little fox.
Hei Bao was talking to the guards.
Hearing that Fourteen was going to catch the little fox, he looked over.
The little fox stared blankly at Fourteen, as if it didn't know that Fourteen was going to catch it.
Blackie's hair stood on end. "Fourteen! Come back! There's something wrong with that little fox!"
The little fox seemed to be startled awake by Blackie and turned to run. But after only a few steps, it crashed into a tree. After hitting the tree, the little fox spun around a few times before finding its bearings and continuing to run.
Fourteen was overjoyed. "Hahaha...this little fox is so cute."
Cute my foot!
Hei Bao picked up Gouwa and Gousheng and handed them to the guards beside him. "Protect the Second Prince and the Third Prince well."
After saying that, Hei Bao went to chase after Fourteen. "Yun Fourteen, come back here! There's something wrong with that little fox!"
Fourteen didn't believe it. "Have you also taken a liking to this little fox?"
What a load of rubbish!
"Yun Shisi, come back here! If you don't come back, I'll..." Hei Bao was about to say that if you don't come back, he'll use a hidden weapon, but before he could finish, he realized that the tree that the little fox had bumped into was about to fall over!
Hei Bao quickly jumped up and pounced on Fourteen.
The head guard also noticed and sent four men over.
Fourteen was running happily when suddenly someone grabbed him and rolled him several meters forward.
Just as Fourteen was about to say, "Hei Bao, you've gone too far," the tree next to them collapsed!
"ah!"
Although Hei Bao rolled several meters forward while carrying Shi Si, he had not yet left the tree's sphere of influence.
Gouwa and Gousheng saw that Heibao and Shisi were covered up, so they quickly told the guards to go and rescue them.
The head guard didn't dare to be careless and sent a third of his men to rescue them. The rest stayed to watch over Gouwa and Gousheng.
