The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 276 Bai Zhaozhao's Test

Lu Zimo reacted and immediately returned to his polite state. He bowed and said, "Thank you for giving up your love, young lady! I am very grateful! Please leave your address, brother, and I will send the money to your house later!"

Bai Hua mocked again: "Humph, send it to my house? You don't have no money, do you?"

Lu Zimo no longer had the temper he had before: "I'm Lu Zimo, don't worry, brother! With so many people as witnesses, if I don't give you the money, you can sue me!"

When Song Ren heard the name, he immediately said, "Mr. Bai, Mr. Lu has been buying Baiji medicine from us for a month! Just give him this face!"

Bai Hua was surprised for a moment: "Okay! I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!"

After Lu Zimo took it, he said to Bai Zhaozhao: "Thank you, young lady!"

Bai Hua: ...

The guests around gradually dispersed after seeing that the excitement was gone.

A moment later, in the backyard of Jishidiang.

Bai Zhaozhao saw Song Ren standing aside looking a little reserved, so he smiled and asked, "Uncle Song, who was that Lu Zimo just now?"

Song Ren relaxed a little and replied, "I didn't know his identity before, but now it seems that he should be the second son of Magistrate Lu's family, who just returned from studying abroad."

Bai Hua was slightly embarrassed. Actually, he knew Lu Ziwen, the eldest son of the Lu family, and they had a pretty good relationship. He didn't expect that he would start a conflict with that person's younger brother.

Bai Zhaozhao continued to ask: "What does he mean when he said that the elders in the family have a difficult and complicated disease?"

Song Ren shook his head: "I don't know about that. I haven't heard that there is a patient in Prefect Lu's house!"

Bai Zhaozhao: "Uncle Song, can you help me find out? I want to give it a try!"

Song Ren quickly agreed, but then asked in confusion: "Zhao... Ahem, County Master, are you still treating patients now?"

Bai Zhaozhao: "No, I'm just interested."

After saying goodbye to Song Ren, Bai Hua diligently took Bai Zhaozhao back to the Bai Mansion.

"Sister Zhao, my seventh cousin has gone to the capital to serve as an official. Currently, the house of the sixth room is empty. The clan leader grandfather comes over occasionally and stays at my house, so your Zhaohe Garden will be rather deserted. And you came back so suddenly that you haven't cleaned it up yet.

There are quite a few people in Room 4, but it is very lively there every day. You will be disturbed if you live there!

Our third room is different. After your uncle took you to the capital, our family has been living in the third room. It is neither noisy nor lonely!"

Bai Zhaozhao understood what he meant and also knew his identity. He was the son of Bai Shiwen from the third house. Bai Shiwen had two sons and one daughter, so he should be the second child.

Theoretically speaking, Bai Zhaozhao was adopted under the name of Bai Shihong, so as Bai Shihong's biological brother, Bai Shiwen is her biological uncle, and Bai Hua is her biological cousin.

So Bai Zhaozhao said politely: "Then cousin Hua, please help me clean up a yard! It should be big! I want to practice martial arts."

Bai Hua said happily: "Don't worry! Sister Zhao, I will definitely help you deal with the biggest one."

Bai Zhaozhao looked at him and asked, "You said that Lingzhi was a birthday gift for Grandfather? Then I just gave it to Lu Zimo without permission. Grandfather will be angry, right?"

Just now, Bai Zhaozhao suddenly thought, isn’t Bai Hua’s grandfather also his nominal grandfather?

"Hey!" Bai Hao said nonchalantly, "Bringing you back is the best gift for Grandfather! Besides, we got double the money, what kind of birthday gift can't we buy? And I was indeed impulsive, if I really offended Governor Lu, my father would not be in a good situation either."

Indeed, Bai Zhaozhao's sudden return really made the third and fourth branches of the Bai family excited for a while.

In just two days, Bai Zhaozhao received many gifts. Even Third Grandpa Bai, who had originally planned to celebrate his birthday in a low-key manner, decided to hold a grand banquet.

After the news was released, all the important figures in Linyang County came. The banquet was grand and Bai Shiwen's status in the government office was greatly improved.

Afterwards, he sighed to Bai Zhaozhao, "Many people looked down on me before, saying that I climbed to the position of Tongzhi because my family had a top scholar and a county lady. Now that they know that my county lady is coming back to stay for a while, they immediately come to curry favor with her. They really changed their attitude to the extreme!"

Bai Zhaozhao asked with interest: "Then how do you deal with these people's changing faces?"

Bai Shiwen chuckled: "Of course I took the opportunity to deal with the previous difficulties one by one, and then recruited helpers for myself! How can I miss such a good opportunity?"

Bai Zhaozhao admired him. When it came to officialdom, Bai Shiwen was the best at it.

"My second uncle is really amazing. I guess my father doesn't have this ability."

"Hahaha!" Bai Shiwen was probably a little drunk and actually laughed at Bai Shihong, "Your father! Except for being much older than me, he is not as good as me in every way!

He got married later than me, had children later than me, and became an official later than me. He is just a little luckier than me. His son is very capable, and his daughter should also be very capable!

If you ask me, they are just stupid. When they first brought you home, they didn't raise you themselves but insisted on giving you to your fifth uncle to raise. Isn't it because they didn't make a name for themselves outside that they came back to teach?

Why should you feel inferior? Can't a teacher pick up a daughter? You are afraid that others will say you are a child bride, what a joke! A child bride must go to the government to get a marriage certificate!

Look at what's going on now? Didn't he adopt you as his daughter? If he had raised you and had enjoyed your blessings, he would have been an official long ago, and wouldn't have had to wait so many years. After all, King Rui has been dead for several years!"

Bai Zhaozhao:!!!

King Rui? What's the relationship with King Rui?

It seems that Bai Shiwen knows a lot about the past!

Although he was in turmoil, Bai Zhaozhao did not show it and continued to look at Bai Shiwen with approval.

But Bai Shiwen suddenly shuddered, as if his reason had returned. He smiled stiffly: "Zhao Zhao, I was just talking nonsense! Don't tell your father!"

Bai Zhaozhao looked nonchalant: "Hey, what's the big deal? Second uncle, you are too nervous! I already knew about these old stories! My mother told me so!"

"What?" Bai Shiwen was shocked. "You said your mother said that? Did she really say that?"

"That's right!" Bai Zhaozhao said nonsense in a serious tone, "Second Uncle, don't you think about it? So many years have passed. What is there to hide? I'm already this old. What does it matter if I know the truth? Right?"

"Uh...that's right!" Bai Shiwen asked suspiciously, "Did your mother really say that?"

"Really?" Bai Zhaozhao's eyes flashed with impatience, "Second uncle, you are such a fool. What good would it be for me to lie to you? When we first came to Beijing, my mother said that she actually wanted to support me, but... hey, you don't know, it's not convenient!

Moreover, she fell ill when Brother Bai Lin was taking the provincial examination, and she wrote a suicide note saying that she hoped that her second uncle and the clan would take care of her! But later, when she got better, she burned the suicide note!

Then she told me the truth! She said she was worried that she might suddenly... so she didn't want to let the secret die! My father acquiesced!"

Bai Shiwen suddenly realized that, indeed, he knew about the suicide note. His sister-in-law had always been in poor health. She had no serious illness but suffered from minor ailments all the time. It was normal for her to have such concerns!

And his eldest brother has always loved his wife, so there is nothing wrong with him tacitly agreeing!

So Bai Shiwen breathed a sigh of relief: "I told you! It's not a big secret, what can't be said! So what if I offended King Rui before? He's dead, can he still find a girl to take revenge? I think you shouldn't think too much about it, Zhao Zhao, it's all the grudges of the previous generation, it has nothing to do with you!"
