Congcong was so coaxed by a few sweet words that he was completely lost in thought and happily went to help the two of them gather information.
"It seems that our abilities have expanded and improved, becoming more specific."
"Well, this ability greatly facilitates our acquisition of information."
"Yes, but you should use it slowly and don't hurt your brain. I am enough for you now."
"I will proceed step by step and gradually."
Aunt Hua returned to Xiyuan angrily
"Madam, the gift has been delivered. But the Bai family has no regard for decency and is extremely disrespectful to the old lady."
Aunt Hua told Zhang about Bai's behavior.
"She's just throwing herself at the wall. She thinks everything will be fine just because she has the eldest son in her hands and a weapon like that. Humph! She's going to die anyway. Don't worry about her. Just do what we have to do."
"yes"
"Have you explained it well?"
"I left a note for Qingyu."
"That's good. Once this is done, I'll transfer Qingyu back to Xiyuan. I'll feel more at ease under your watchful eye."
"The old lady is right. It just so happens that there are a few second-class maids in our courtyard who are getting quite old, so we need to bring a few younger ones over as backup."
Bai Zhiyue woke up from a nap and found the incense burner lit in the room.
"Madam, agarwood clears the mind, warms the five internal organs, and raises yang energy, which is beneficial to you. I lit one because you have always liked this scent. I am very happy that you have given birth to the only son in the mansion. I heard that one ounce of agarwood is worth one ounce of gold, so this box is a lot of money."
When Qingyu saw Bai Zhiyue stand up, she hurried forward to serve her.
"Are you happy that I'm not dead or are you happy that her son is embarrassed?"
If you want to show off your goodness to her, you have to see if she likes it. Any good thing you get from the original owner is worth a fortune. It is worth mentioning that you treat these little incense pills as treasures.
"I don't like people who talk too much!"
"I have overstepped my bounds."
Seeing that Qingyu had offended the lady, Qinglian hurriedly spoke to her.
"My lady, please help me with some soup. There's a pot of chicken soup on the stove that's been simmering all morning."
"Well, bring it to me!"
When Qinglian left, she took Qingyu away with her.
"It's only been one day and you've already forgotten Madam's cruelty. We just need to follow her instructions and serve her well!"
"I also want her to remember the old lady's kindness."
This is indeed the purpose. This way, we can burn the incense ball every day.
"Forget it, come with me and see what the kitchen has prepared for the evening."
After drinking the soup to replenish some energy, he went to the yard to practice fighting moves.
Each move was as fast as lightning, with a force as strong as a thousand gold, locking the throat and stabbing. The dagger penetrated the tree trunk an inch, and the leaves were shaken and fell down.
"My strength is weak, and I don't know when I can recover to my original level."
Originally, she could completely bury the dagger into the tree trunk, but that was very insecure.
The day passed peacefully without any unexpected problems.
The next day was the day for her third bath, and the gate of her courtyard was opened, but the guards did not withdraw and were still guarding outside, saying that it was to protect the eldest son.
Most of the people who came today were from the Su family. The two illegitimate sons who had separated from the family came with their wives and children, as well as a few close colleagues, Bai's mother Liu, sister-in-law Yu, and two beautiful and gentle sisters who were not very familiar to him.
When the auspicious time was approaching, they entered Bai Zhiyue's yard under the guidance of the old lady.
Because there were so many people around, Liu and Yu only greeted her when they came in and didn't talk much. They seemed a little unhappy.
Why are they not happy that their daughter is not dead? Bai Zhiyue didn't want to pay attention to them, so she didn't say a single extra word after greeting them.
He looked at Zhang a few more times, thinking about Congcong's eloquent speech, and observed Zhang carefully.
If you look at her without tinted glasses, she can be described as dignified and noble, with aristocratic temperament evident in her every gesture. Coupled with her good looks, she is more elegant and more attractive than the younger generation.
I think she was beautiful when she was young, at least of delicate appearance. Now she is in her forties, and most people would have been weathered and gray by this age.
Zhang, however, had delicate skin, black and shiny hair, and only a few crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, which were invisible unless you looked closely. Perhaps it was because of the nourishment from the man, her complexion was very rosy.
Bai Zhiyue gave her an inexplicable smile, wondering if she could still keep her composure after catching them cheating.
Zhang frowned at the sight.
"What kind of look is that from Bai Shi? It's really unpleasant to look at. Keep a close eye on her and don't let her do anything bad today."
Zhang ordered Aunt Hua
"She's provoking the old lady. She's so unwilling to give any favors that she thinks she has the upper hand. The old lady doesn't need to worry about it. Qingyu has already taken action. Her arrogance won't last long."
Everyone came forward one by one to look at the child and say a few words of blessing.
Outside, there are statues of goddesses such as Yunxiao, Cuishengniang, and Songziniang. In the golden copper basin are placed various small objects such as gold and silver ingots, liters, buckets, locks, and scales. Raw and boiled eggs, raw peanuts, chestnuts, onions, incense and candles, etc., as well as boiled water with locust branches, cattail and mugwort are also prepared.
"Madam, the ceremony is about to begin. Please hand the young man over to Grandma Jixiang!"
"I don't have to hold her in the arms myself, just let her read to me!"
"This~"
Before the old lady could say anything, Bai Zhiyue's mother and sister-in-law became anxious.
"Yuer, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette? Don't break the rules."
"I can't help it. I'm afraid they'll snatch it away~"
She opens her mouth
"If my daughter-in-law loves the child, let her hold him. She is a loving mother. If it weren't for my daughter-in-law's help, my grandson wouldn't be alive. My daughter-in-law is my grandson's greatest benefactor."
Zhang quickly interrupted her. This was not giving the Marquis's family any face or dignity at all. As expected, she could not even spare her life.
