Chapter 260 Taboo
Holding the soup spoon in her hand, she stared through the half-opened window lattice at the big tree that had sprouted green buds in the backyard, with a blank expression.
Bai Qingyan spared the screen, and called in a low voice, "Fourth Aunt."
The fourth lady Wang returned to her senses, put the spoon in her hand on the lid of the soup pot, couldn't help coughing twice and lifted the thin quilt on her lap, and was about to stay on the bed when she was stopped by Bai Qingyan: "Fourth aunt , let me say a few words and leave."
Lingyun came in with hot tea, served Bai Qingyan the tea, then retreated outside the screen to wait for orders.
Chuntao smiled and said to Guan Nanny: "Guan Nanny, a few days ago Guan Nanny said that there is a flower pattern for me to see how to embroider, Lingyun should follow suit!"
The meaning of this is that the eldest girl had something to say to the fourth madam in private, how could Nanny Guan be so ignorant to stay here, and hurriedly led Lingyun and Chuntao out of the upper room together.
"Fourth Aunt, this time I went to Southern Xinjiang, and I had a great harvest..." She looked at Fourth Aunt Wang and smiled, "Ah Jue is still alive!"
The fourth wife, Mrs. Wang, trembled all over, and tears filled her eyes in an instant, her eyes filled with disbelief: "What? What did you say, Bao?!"
"Fourth aunt!" She held fourth aunt's hand, "Fourth aunt should know how the men of the Bai family were buried in southern Xinjiang, so... for now, the fact that Ah Jue is still alive cannot be made public, and Ah Jue has no way to answer Dadu. But Fourth Aunt can rest assured that Ah Jue will join our Bai family army soon after hiding his name. For Ah Jue's safety, Fourth Aunt...must keep this matter in her heart! Don't say it out loud!"
"Abao! Abao, is what you said true?!" The fourth lady Wang cried out, speaking incoherently, "Aren't you lying to my aunt? Or am I dreaming? Are you really...not lying to my aunt? Aunt?"
Thinking that her sons were all buried in southern Xinjiang, no one knows how miserable Wang is. She lives like a walking corpse every day, and every day she does not want to go underground to reunite with her husband and children, but when Bai Qingyan came back, she said Ah Jue still alive!
Her eyes were flushed, she nodded, and with difficulty curled her lips to the fourth wife Wang Shi: "Fourth aunt, Ah Bao swears to fourth aunt with the spirit of grandfather and father in heaven, Ah Jue is still alive! If there are false words... Ah Bao would like to die Whole body!"
"Fourth Aunt believes in you! Good boy... Fourth Aunt believes in you!" The Fourth Madam Wang squeezed Bai Qingyan's hand tightly, wiping away tears with her hand, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, she looked at her with an ugly expression, "Thank you, Bao! Thank you!"
"So Fourth Aunt, for Ah Jue...you have to cheer up!" She took out her handkerchief and wiped away tears for Fourth Madam Wang, "Live life as you want, and don't let anyone notice! Only those who know The less... Ah Jue will be safer! When we return to Shuoyang and are relatively stable, Ah Jue will definitely send someone to send a letter back to my aunt! If the opportunity is right, Ah Jue will come back to meet my fourth aunt."
"Understood!" Wang cried and nodded, with a solemn expression, "Fourth Aunt understands! Fourth Aunt understands!"
"So Fourth Aunt, since you are not feeling well, you need to take medicine! Otherwise, when Ah Jue comes back, how can Fourth Aunt drag you down? Ah Jue will be sad!"
Gritting her teeth to restrain her crying, Wang opened her mouth to answer, but couldn't utter a word, so she could only forcefully pat Bai Qingyan's hand. She didn't know where to start to express her gratitude.
When Bai Qingyan came out of Lishui Garden, she heard Madam Guan calling Lingxiu to invite the doctor. She turned her head to look at Lishui Garden, with a smile on her face, she walked back supporting Chuntao's hand.
In Qinghui courtyard, Bai Jinxiu had been waiting for Bai Qingyan for a while.
Seeing Bai Qingyan come back, she stood up and saluted with a smile: "Elder Sister, I originally wanted to visit Eldest Sister. If I rested, I would come back later. I didn't expect Eldest Sister to go to Fourth Aunt's."
Bai Jinxiu and Nei Hui knew that there was good news as soon as Bai Qing said that she had gone to the fourth aunt.
Bai Qingyan smiled and supported Bai Jinxiu to look around, her eyes were full of joy: "Why don't you see that you are fat, but instead thinner?"
"Back to the big girl, our girl vomited in a mess when she was two months pregnant, so she naturally lost a lot of weight! But my uncle loves girls and tried his best to make her eat, and now I have made up a lot!" After saluting, Qing Shu said with a smile.
"Sister, listen to her nonsense!" Bai Jinxiu looked at Qingshu.
Qing Shu hastily took two steps back, lowered her head in fear, why did she forget... this marriage was originally with the eldest girl, she saw that the eldest girl and the second girl were so close, she was afraid that the eldest girl would worry about the second girl To be honest, I forgot about it.
"What are you doing staring at Qingshu?" She took Bai Jinxiu's hand and walked into the house, and said with a smile, "The fate is predetermined, even if the elder sister had a marriage contract with Qin Lang before, it is not destined, and it is brother-in-law and Qin Lang. You don't have to shy away from this matter because of your sister's fate."
Bai Qingyan spoke up, so as not to keep Bai Jinxiu from keeping tabs on her.
Bai Jinxiu was startled, then nodded with a smile: "Elder Sister said so!"
Chuntao served tea for the two girls, and said with a smile: "Nurse Tong knows that the second girl likes to eat sour, so she asked the second girl to serve sour jujube tea. The second girl tasted it and she liked it."
Bai Jinxiu picked it up and took a sip: "Well, not bad, it's still Tong Nanny who is careful."
"Pick some sour plums and bring them here." Bai Qingyan picked up the tea cup and instructed Chun Xing beside him.
"yes!"
After a while, Chun Xing came in with a black lacquered square plate. In addition to pickled plums, there were several plates of delicate and refreshing seasonal snacks, and two pairs of thin silver chopsticks.
Chun Xing has good eyesight, so when she puts her things down, she goes out obediently, closes the partition, and leaves the upper room.
Seeing Chun Xing leave, Bai Jinxiu asked impatiently: "Sister, but... what good news?"
She nodded: "A Jue and A Yun are still alive!"
As soon as Bai Qing's words came out, Bai Jinxiu felt that half of her body was numb, and quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief to prevent herself from crying. Her red eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't help standing up and walking back and forth in the room. After walking a few steps, he asked: "I... am I dreaming?!"
She took Bai Jinxiu's hand and asked her to sit down: "This matter should not be made public. I have already told Xiao Si not to tell anyone. It's all right for you and Fourth Aunt to know! Don't tell anyone else about it."
Bai Jinxiu nodded vigorously, but still couldn't help crying with joy.
After a while, after Bai Jinxiu calmed down, she took out the letter from Bai Jintong: "This is from Jintong, and she has already been out to sea for half a month."
Bai Qingyan was in southern Xinjiang, and it was difficult to send letters, so Bai Jintong sent all the letters to Bai Jinxiu.
According to Bai Jintong's letter, she has been away for at least half a year this time, and it will be half a year after she communicates again.
Everything is fine with Bai Jintong, but he is worried about Bai Qingyan in southern Xinjiang, and tells Bai Jinxiu to take good care of the Bai family, so that Bai Qingyan in southern Xinjiang will not worry about his family anymore.
