Chapter 24: Father and daughter grow into a tacit understanding
Does Lai Feiyan think that's all Bai Yanqing does?
Unexpectedly, Bai Yanqing spoke again, targeting Bai Furong directly.
"Aunt, I will only say this once, if you don't restrain your precious daughter properly, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Bai Yanqing said this to Bai Furong without saving any face.
"This is the Bai family, and my surname is Bai. Don't forget it!"
Bai Yanqing naturally took the handkerchief handed over by Cai Xing and wiped the corners of her mouth. Her soft voice did not reveal much emotion, but her words were so heavy that they could kill someone!
"Why are you so arrogant? My mother's surname is also Bai!"
Lai Feiyan continued to shout, not treating herself as an outsider or taking Bai Yanqing's warning to heart.
"Oh? Really? What's your last name?"
Bai Yanqing continued to speak unhurriedly. There was no hint of annoyance in her words, but instead she hid a bit of smile. Even Mrs. Ren didn't understand what she was doing.
"Feiyan, stop talking!"
Lai Bizhi on the side saw something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Lai Feiyan's sleeve, and told her to shut up.
Lai Feiyan wanted to continue arguing, but unexpectedly, Bai Yanqing did not give her a chance, and directly asked Cai Xing to put down the gauze curtain, and just... lay down!
"Miss, I'm tired and need to rest."
Caixing's words, both inside and outside, are meant to drive away guests.
Ren was a little angry. This girl was so arrogant now that she actually dared to drive her away? She was an elder after all, so how could she be so indifferent to her?
I want her to leave, but she won’t!
How could Mrs. Ren grant Bai Yanqing's wish so easily? Wouldn't that be too shameless for her?
this……
Bai Furong didn't even have time to talk to Bai Yanqing before she was turned away. She was also embarrassed.
Fortunately, the people in Bai Yanqing's Courtyard were generally aware. Seeing that Mrs. Ren refused to leave, they brought tea, cakes and other food to them, and let them sit without anyone coming to disturb them.
Ren just thought that they were afraid of her, but in fact, all this was just explained by Bai Yanqing! Otherwise, did she really think that she could control the moving stars?
The sun is scorching, and it's almost noon. The sky is getting hotter and hotter. The endless chirping of cicadas outside and the continuous sound of fans inside the house... can make people irritable.
The Ren family and others sat for a long time, drank a lot of tea and ate a lot of cakes, but Bai Yanqing still hadn't woken up. Such high temperature made the few people more and more restless, and the Ren family could even be smelled in the air.
The sour smell of sweat from several people.
The sweat from Lai Feiyan's forehead wetted the gauze on her forehead. The salty sweat touched the wound on her forehead, causing stinging pains. But she did not dare to move because her grandmother did not move.
.
Lai Feiyan cannot enter the palace, which means that she has lost her use value to the Ren family. At the same time, she has also lost the qualification to act mischievously in front of the Ren family.
Perhaps due to the fact that the affection she has loved her since childhood is still there, Ren does not show any unusual indifference towards Lai Feiyan. However, for Lai Feiyan, although she is a bit stupid, she also knows very well,
For so many years, her grandmother had pampered her at a cost.
Compared with Lai Feiyan's restlessness, Lai Bizhi appears to be particularly calm. Although she has the same mother as Lai Feiyan, and although she has been cared for by her grandmother since she was a child, she has always been cold and indifferent, succumbing to Lai Feiyan, lowering her sense of existence, and neither fighting nor competing for her.
, If you don’t take it, you won’t take it. If Ren gives it, she will take it. If Ren doesn’t give it, she will just ignore it.
Now, due to Lai Feiyan's willfulness, Bai Yanqing is seriously ill, and everyone else is worried to death. Only Lai Bizhi sleeps the most soundly every night. Because she has begged for Bai Yanqing, but she has not done anything to harm Bai Yanqing. Just because of this
, so Lai Bizhi is not worried at all that Bai Yanqing will operate on her.
On the other hand, Bai Furong's face was sometimes clear and sometimes dark. Although the sweat slid down her hair and down her neck, she never noticed it, nor did she think of raising her hand to wipe it.
In the past, Bai Furong only regarded Bai Yanqing as a niece who was not favored, a poor little girl who had no love from her mother and no love from her father. Although she had some compassion, she did not take any substantial actions. In the Ren family
When her daughter had been harsh on Bai Yanqing and bullied her for many years, she did not help her more, but mostly looked on with cold eyes.
Now, because of her daughter's troubles, Bai Yanqing was like this, and she felt a little guilty in her heart, but what was worse than her guilt was her worry. She was worried about what Lai Feiyan would do after she couldn't enter the palace. She was worried about what the Bai family would do.
After driving the mother and daughter out, she was even more worried about how Lai Feiyan would get married in the future after her face was disfigured. Among all the worries, she was not worried about Bai Yanqing's illness.
This is the human heart, partiality and selfishness, clearly visible.
At noon, Bai Yanqing woke up, picked up the food that Xing brought over, only tasted a few bites, and then lay down again. Maybe it was because the weather was hot and she had no appetite, or maybe she had just woken up and there was no taste in her mouth, so she was not interested in the food.
, Bai Yanqing couldn't arouse any interest at all.
Cai Xing didn't mention the Ren family at all, so Bai Yanqing naturally didn't bother to ask. Anyway, they had food and drink for them, so they could sit there as long as they wanted.
I don't know how long it took, but it was so long that Ren felt that she was about to faint from the midsummer heat. She was supported by Aunt Shen and walked back unsteadily. She left, followed by Bai Furong's mother.
The three women naturally retreated together.
As soon as Ren returned, he lay down and said, "I've got heat stroke."
When this rumor came to Nianchu Xiaozhu, Cai Xing almost fainted with laughter. When he asked her to go back, she refused to go back. She had to wait until she fainted from the heat and suffered enough before going back. Now she's okay
, are you suffering from heatstroke? You deserve it!
In the evening, as soon as Bai Jingxuan returned home, someone wanted to tell Bai Jingxuan about Chu Xiaozhu's story.
When Bai Jingxuan came to visit Bai Yanqing in Nianchu Xiaozhu, as soon as he entered the door, he heard the laughter of Bai Yanqing and Caixing, and the gloom in his heart was swept away: his daughter's safety and health are more important than anything else.
"Father is here."
Bai Yanqing hurriedly asked Aunt Li and the others to move a stool and place it in front of the bed.
Bai Yanqing did not explain anything about Ren's heatstroke, and Bai Jingxuan also tacitly agreed not to ask.
After this incident, Bai Jingxuan understood in his heart that his daughter would not do such unfilial and unjust things and deliberately embarrass her elders.
Bai Jingxuan sat for a while and then left. He was very busy all day long. If he hadn't been worried about Bai Yanqing's illness, he wouldn't have rushed back home at this time.
"Miss, why...don't you explain to me about the old lady..."
After Bai Jingxuan left, Cai Xing couldn't help but ask.
Cai Xing naturally knew that the Bai Mansion was most in need of good people, and someone would definitely tell Bai Jingxuan about Ren's heat stroke.
"If my father believed me, he wouldn't ask. If my father didn't believe me, he might not believe me no matter how much I explain."
Bai Yanqing's words revealed the tacit understanding between her and Bai Jingxuan.
After all, father and daughter are connected. Some things can be understood by each other even if they don't have to be said clearly.
Caixing nodded in confusion. After all, what her young lady said was right.
At night, everything is silent.
Perhaps it was because Bai Yanqing lay down too much during the day that she still hadn't fallen asleep until late at night.
Bai Yanqing then put on her clothes and stood up to go for a walk in the yard. She did not wake anyone up. After all, she was sick these days, and the people in the yard were very tired from their busy schedules. Let them have a good sleep.
Go to sleep!
In the summer night, the scorching heat of the day had faded away, and the night breeze was blowing, which made it a bit cool. Bai Yanqing couldn't help but tuck in her clothes, and found a stone bench to sit down and rest.
"I'm sick and I don't know how to restrain myself."
A figure suddenly appeared behind Bai Yanqing. A cloak was seen hanging on his hand, and then he carefully put it on Bai Yanqing's shoulders, carefully draped it over her, wrapping her tightly and airtight.
A familiar voice sounded in her ears, and a familiar smell came to her nose. Bai Yanqing couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.
"Brother Jing is still resting so late. Did he come to Bai Mansion for a walk?"
That's right, the person who came was none other than Bai Yanqing's good cousin, Ji Nanjing.
"Do you think I want to come and see how sick you are? It's not like the old guys at home don't trust you."
Ji Nanjing insisted that he would not admit it. He was worried about Bai Yanqing, so he took the risk to visit Bai Mansion at night.
"Pfft...Brother Jing, are you carrying all your belongings on your back?"
Bai Yanqing turned around and caught a glimpse of the package on Ji Nanjing's back under the bright moonlight. It was so bulging with naan that it was such a big bundle. Bai Yanqing was shocked!
"It's not like the two old men at home have to ask me to bring it to you. But I'm exhausted! You don't know how heavy this is..."
Ji Nanjing complained while unpacking the baggage on his back.
It's full of precious supplements and some extremely rare medicinal materials. There are also some things that Bai Yanqing likes to eat, wear and use on weekdays... It's no wonder that Ji Nanjing carries such a bag on his back.
It’s hard!
This is not a gift to Bai Yanqing, but a gift from the entire Ji family to Bai Yanqing!
Feeling sorry that Bai Yanqing was too weak to move, Ji Nanjing even asked himself to move these things back to the house for her. Looking at Ji Nanjing who was busy with her business, this made Bai Yanqing extremely happy!
Her cousin is hard-spoken but soft-hearted. Even though he sometimes looks out of tune, in front of Bai Yanqing, he still looks like an elder brother!
Bai Yanqing stood in the courtyard, watching Ji Nanjing move things with great joy. She was also very happy watching it!
A gust of breeze blew by, carrying a faint scent of incense in the air.
"Come out! Stop hiding!"
Bai Yanqing shouted into the air.
As soon as Bai Yanqing finished speaking, she saw another person flying down in front of her.
Ji Nanjing was so frightened that he jumped up, flew forward, and attacked the man.
"Brother Jing, stop it. He is one of our own."
Bai Yanqing was afraid that Ji Nanjing would hurt the person coming, so she quickly shouted at him to stop.
If others don't know Ji Nanjing's strength, how can Bai Yanqing not know it?
Hearing Bai Yanqing's anxious call, Ji Nanjing staggered and forcibly retracted his palm. Fortunately, he did not use all his strength, otherwise wouldn't he have hurt himself if he retracted his hand?
Ji Nanjing was not without vigilance. Before he came in, he had already noticed that there seemed to be a master hidden in Bai Yanqing's courtyard. He only thought that he was sent by the Bai Mansion to protect Bai Yanqing. Now it seems that it is not that simple.
