Chapter 21 Why Didn’t You Take Me Away? 2 ” (2/2)

“If you are going to go then take me with you. No matter the hardship, as long as you are with me then I am not afraid! I just need you, my family by my side!” He slowly releases her, his teary face revealing a smile for the first time in six years.

“I won’t go.”

She’s here to get revenge so how can she leave until then?

“Sister.” Bai Xiao makes a hesitant face, “the truth is on the night of your disappearance, grandmother sent someone to come find you. She intended to bring you over to the Lan House but was blocked by Yu Rong’s people. I wanted to tell you the news but I couldn’t make it to you. Then the next day everyone started to talk about how you eloped with a man.”

A loving and doting face resurfaces from Bai Yan’s mind. Its not that the previous owner of this body hated her grandparents, rather it was due to guilt. Yes, guilt of the sin their mother committed against the Lan House when she gave away the precious dowries to Bai Zheng Xiang.

“How’s Grandfather and Grandmother doing?”

No matter how distant their relationship becomes, Bai Yan can tell the old lady from that side of the family truly does care of herself and her brother Bai Xiao. In fact, there had been many cases where the old lady wanted to take Bai Yan and Bai Xiao away to their side but was firmly refused back then.

Thinking up to here, Bai Yan can only sigh at her brother and her former self’s stubbornness.

“Grandfather is ill and now the Lan House can only rely on Uncle to hold up the roof. They are incomparable to their past self.” Bai Xiao casts a glance at her, “and you know it too. Years ago our grandfather expended the coffer to purchase those Dan pills for Uncle but ended up giving it to Mother instead for her dowry. Even then the Bai House refused to move to the capital city back then.”

There’s a simple reason for Bai Zheng Xiang’s refusal to move to the capital back then, its for fear of letting Lan Yue gaining support from her side of the family. If that had happened, he wouldn’t have been able to sweet talk his wife into passing the pills onto him.
