Chapter 68: A Relative Has Come to Pay a Visit (2/2)

“Sure and definite! Alright, enough Little Bai Classmate, I know you’re also doing it for my own good. I understand it all.” Tang Doudou once again sat back down and completely nestled into the chair. She felt a little helpless and at a loss towards her coming fate. For the sake of her life, she’ll have to marry Baili Yu?

How come there was an especially grieved and sad feeling?

Her nose started to sting and she felt exceptionally upset. Tang Doudou burrowed her head into the crook of her arm. Her heart felt uncomfortably depressed. An indescribable sadness filled the air inside the room. Bai Feiyun’s gentle eyes softened as he walked towards Tang Doudou.

“Xueyi.”

“I want to be alone for a bit.”

Bai Feiyun retrieved his hand that was in midair. As he looked at her curled up figure, he silently sighed.

Tang Doudou didn’t know when he left. However, the incessant racket outside suddenly faded away until there was almost nothing left and the world seemed to have calmed down. Dead leaves soundlessly drifted into the room from the window and landed in front of the person in the room.

In a rush, another half a month went by. The Alliance Head Residence returned to its former tranquility. Those people that ran away all returned to the Residence and there were quite a lot of big and small matters within the martial arts circles to deal with. Tang Doudou, with Bai Feiyun’s assistance, started to gradually deal with these matters. She ran here and there and busied herself until she was confused and completely disoriented, so she didn’t have the time to think about those bothersome things. She had never thought that being a martial arts circles Alliance Head would actually be this tiring.

Da hell, in the past, when she watched those wuxia films, those Alliance Heads were always just strolling here and there with their hands folded behind their backs. If anything happened, they’d just call someone and send down instructions. How were they anything like her? Getting up even earlier than a dog and sleeping even later than a cat!?

And there would even be a Bai Feiyun nagging and chattering right next to her ear like an old woman. It was almost driving her crazy.

“Xiao Bai ah! Can’t I rest for a day?” Tang Doudou secretly covered her stomach. She didn’t dare to tell Bai Feiyun that her stomach hurt. Who asked this to be an aunty’s visit?T/N

She had been very scared and on edge for a long time because it didn’t come last month. She even thought that Baili Yu had used her as a woman that night. In the end, just as she was worrying about whether or not she got pregnant, the auntie decided to cheerfully visit. However, her heart became happy and scared. She was happy she had gotten her auntie, but worried that the auntie would be discovered.

Who asked for the Alliance Head Residence to be filled with nothing but men?

And it was unknown what these people were thinking about because there wasn’t even a single maid here.

Recalling the account book that Bai Feiyun showed her last time, Tang Doudou sighed again. Wasn’t the Alliance Head Residence a little too poor?

“Take a break? Didn’t you say yesterday that you’d help the Beggars’ Union of Dongcheng resolve the dispute between the elders? Why do you suddenly want to rest?” Bai Feiyun knitted his brows. “Your facial color doesn’t seem too good. Did you fall sick? Let me see your hand.”

After he said so, he extended his hand over and indicated for Tang Doudou to stretch out her hand.

How could Tang Doudou dare to give him her hand? If he ends up being able to tell that her period came, how was she supposed to explain?

“Ahem, no need. It’s just that this period of time has been too busy. I’m a bit tired and want to rest a little.”

Bai Feiyun thought about how Li Xueyi ran around with him everywhere during these past days and felt that it was indeed quite tiring, so he said, “Alright, then you should just rest for today. I’ll just tell Hou Zi to head over and deal with that matter.”

This part deserved a mention. When Tang Doudou returned to the Alliance Head Residence, Hou Zi, Li Hong, and the others had all become highly valued and became her left wings and right arms. A lot of matters were left to them to handle. It was especially so for Hou Zi. Tang Doudou was especially shocked to discover that he was unexpectedly very talented. His ability to handle matters didn’t lose to Bai Feiyun’s in the slightest. Also due to the fact that it was much more convenient for him to head out than Bai Feiyun in multiple areas, a lot of the matters that Bai Feiyun and Tang Doudou were too busy to deal with were left to him.

Not to mention, since he wanted to repay Tang Doudou’s kindness in recognizing his worth, he worked with exceptional earnestness and responsibleness.

“Yes, yes, yes! Just let Hou Zi handle it!” Seeing Bai Feiyun had loosened up, Tang Doudou hastily nodded repeatedly. “Then I’ll head back to rest first!”

She couldn’t rest. There were no period pads in ancient times and there were also no maids in the residence. Thus, she had to think of some way to get some period pads!

This was seriously a sad story.

Tang Doudou covered her forehead, feeling incomparably distressed, as she walked out the courtyard and returned to her own room.

She hurriedly dug through a chest and found some clothes, then pulled out the dagger she usually carried around to cut it into small pieces. After folding the layers properly, she prepared to make do with these for now. The Alliance Head Residence didn’t have that many materials so if she wanted to make more comfortable period pads, she would have to slip out.

When she came back, she tidied up all the things in the room and closed the windows tightly. Afterwards, she waited in the room for about an hour. Feeling that Bai Feiyun had probably left the Residence by now, she snuck out through the window and jogged to the back door of the Alliance Head Residence.

“Alliance Head? You’re about to head out?” One of the bodyguards guarding the door saw her run over sneakily but didn’t wonder at the strange sight. This Alliance Head of his, ah, was someone they, as servants, couldn’t hope to understand.

“Shh, you aren’t allowed to let others know, got it!?” Tang Doudou raised her finger and glanced left and right for a while, before pulling one of the two over. “You’re not allowed to tell anyone I headed out, got it? If someone asks, just say you didn’t see me. If one of you dares to blab, see how this Alliance Head will sort you out!”

She waved her fist at the two before rubbing her nose and swaggering out of the Alliance Head Residence.
