"You silly girl, it's such a big thing, and you're just telling me now?" Mrs. Bai reacted and angrily slapped Bai Wan on the arm.
However, although he was angry and hit someone, he didn't use much force.
Xia Tian was suddenly moved when she saw the interaction between the mother and daughter. "Don't worry, Madam Bai Er. I have already sent people to look for Miss Tao where she fell."
Mrs. Bai Er's face suddenly turned red, and she quickly thanked Xia Tian, "Thank you, Madam Shen. I got a little impatient when I was anxious, and I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Mrs. Bai Er felt so embarrassed that the governor's wife saw her being so impatient.
Thinking of this, she turned around and glared at Bai Wan. It was this damn girl who made her embarrassed here.
If she hadn't been in a hurry to find her, she wouldn't have been so blunt in scolding her children in front of the Governor's wife.
Bai Wan had recovered by now. Mrs. Bai Er didn't slap her away, but came over and hugged her arm.
"Mother, it was the Governor's wife's guards who saved me today. It was also the Governor's wife who sent me here."
When Mrs. Bai Er heard this, she thanked Xia Tian sincerely again.
Then he rolled his eyes at Bai Wan, and said unhappily, "Why don't you hurry back now? You bothered Madam Shen to find me. Let's see if I will take you out next time!"
Mrs. Bai Er complained as she checked the scratches on Bai Wan's face, muttering, "Look at the injuries on her face. I wonder if they'll leave scars!"
"Mother!" Bai Wan acted coquettishly.
"I'll deal with you when we get back." Mrs. Bai tapped Bai Wan's forehead.
Thinking that after all, she was still on the Governor's wife's territory, she restrained herself a little and said embarrassedly, "Madam, I will take Bai Wan back first. Everyone in the family has gone out to look for her. There is no one in the yard and I am afraid they will worry when they come back. I will come over later to thank you."
Everyone around her has been sent out to look for someone. If they come back and don’t see her, they will probably go looking for her again.
Besides, she had to go back and tell the person who went out to look for him that he had returned.
Xia Tian understood and did not stay any longer. "Then Madam Bai and Miss Bai, please go back first. I will tell you the result when my people come back."
Muchen had already taken her guards out to help find A Tao. It would take a long time for them to come back. She was a little tired after tossing and turning for so long and wanted to lie down and rest for a while.
Mrs. Bai thanked her and left with Bai Wan. Xia Tian took off her shoes and said, "I'll lie down for a while."
Ningxiang and Ningxue quickly made the bed and helped her lie down.
"Madam, are you tired? Let me massage your legs for you." Ningxue saw that she lay down, so she sat beside her and massaged her legs.
Maybe it was because she was pregnant, but after all this trouble, she really felt tired.
Seeing that Aunt Zhang was still sitting on the side, quietly patting her waist with her hands behind her back, he knew that she was also tired, so he called her, "Aunt, don't sit there anymore, lie down and rest."
After all, Aunt Zhang is old and she must be exhausted from walking for such a long time.
Even she felt a little tired, let alone Aunt Zhang who was already old.
"Well, I'll lie down for a while too." Aunt Zhang didn't act pretentiously and lay down on the bed next to her to rest.
Ningshuang also came forward and gently massaged her legs.
In the summer, I asked them to sit down and rest quickly. They were all girls and had never walked such a long way. They must be exhausted.
"Ningxue, stop pinching me. You should take a break too."
"It's okay, I'm sitting here, I'm not tired."
Ningxue insisted on massaging her legs, so there was nothing she could do but let her do it.
Xia Tian thought about what happened just now and asked Aunt Zhang, "Aunt, do you know this Second Madam Bai?"
Judging from the way she speaks and acts, although she is a little impatient, she is quite nice to the concubine's daughter.
That kind of intimacy couldn't be faked, so she was a little curious.
"I've heard of this Second Madam Bai." Aunt Zhang thought for a moment, "The Bai family has three branches, all of whom are merchants. The head of the family is the eldest branch.
This Second Madam Bai only gave birth to four sons and no daughters. The youngest son should be about the same age as our eldest son."
She found out about this the last time she went to the Cui family and chatted with her old sisters. It was said that the Bai family's legitimate daughter had talked about marriage with the Cui family's illegitimate son, but she didn't know whether it worked out or not.
Xia Tian nodded secretly. No wonder Madam Bai was so nice to Bai Wan. It was probably because the four girls she gave birth to were all sons and she had no biological daughter, so she was much nicer to her concubine's daughter.
But this is also Bai Wan's luck. Having a stepmother who treats her as her own daughter is quite good.
"I think Second Madam Bai is also a person of temperament. Although she has a bit of a bad temper, she is very kind to the concubine's daughter."
"I think so too." Aunt Zhang nodded with a smile. "When she walked in just now, I thought she was a stepmother, but it turns out she's the legitimate mother. Although her words are unpleasant, she seems to care about Bai Wan very much."
Nanny Zhang didn't expect that she could make a mistake. Thinking about how she had just given Madam Bai a bad look, she found it a little funny.
"Yes, even though he was scolding Bai Wan, his anxiety and concern were genuine."
Xia Tian suddenly felt that Mrs. Bai was quite nice. Although she was not very tactful in her words, she was quite genuine and did not fawn on her just because she was the governor's wife.
Instead, he kept nagging about whether Bai Wan was injured.
Xia Tian and Aunt Zhang chatted intermittently and fell asleep without realizing it.
Ningxue saw that she fell asleep, so she covered her with the quilt and sat beside her to rest.
It was actually getting late. Nanny Zhang was worried that it would be unsafe to go back too late, so she discussed with Mu Feng, "How about we stay here tonight and go back tomorrow?"
Mu Feng considered that it would take at least an hour and a half to return from Guangfu Temple, so it would probably be very late when he got back.
The main reason is that Muchen and the others went out to look for someone and haven’t returned yet. We don’t know when they will come back.
Even if we set out now to return to Sangluo City, it would be completely dark by then.
"Then stay for one night. I'll send someone back to tell the master."
He was also worried that Shen Nian would be anxious if he didn't see his wife at home, so he sent a guard back to inform Shen Nian first.
"You don't have to come back. Come back tomorrow morning." After Mu Feng gave the guard instructions, he watched him ride away on horseback before coming back to continue guarding outside Xia Tian's house.
There are many courtyards in Guangfu Temple for pilgrims to stay overnight. Since there are many distinguished people who come from far away places all year round, Guangfu Temple does a good job in this regard.
A large area was specially set aside to build these courtyards, which were specifically for pilgrims coming from afar to stay overnight.
Moreover, the monks here are all skilled in kung fu, so it is very safe to live in Guangfu Temple.
Ordinary bad guys don’t dare to cause trouble in Guangfu Temple.
Since they were going to stay overnight, Mu Feng asked someone to take all the luggage off the carriage. The yard they rented was quite large, with six rooms, so there was no problem if they squeezed in.
When Xia Tian woke up, Mu Feng told him that he had to stay in Guangfu Temple for one night.
She didn't have any objection.
After hearing Mu Feng say that everything had been arranged, I stopped worrying.
It’s been half a day, why haven’t Muchen and the others come back yet?
Nothing will happen, right?
