”Marriage? Whose house? ”
Bai Ru Yue was startled, the memories of Wang De automatically appeared in her mind, shocking her to the point that she opened her eyes wide: ”Isn't that a widower?”
”I only have him. Although he has a dead wife and looks average, he doesn't have much ability. At the very least, he doesn't have to worry about food or clothing. Being able to marry her and become a Young Madam is already pretty good!” And this is still your father's kindness. If it were me, I would definitely look for a poor home for him! ”
”Mother!” Bai Ru Yue knew that Bai Yan Shi had also said those words out of anger, but thinking that Bai Ru Hua was in a situation that she had brought upon herself, she did not blame anyone else but herself, and sighed lightly.
”Alright, I'll tell you then. This marriage of the Wang family was decided by me when I ran away early in the morning!” Bai Yan Shi said as he extended his hand to hug Bai Ru Yue's arm: ”It's fortunate that you showed your face and fought with me, if not I'm afraid that this widower would not have her!”
Bai Ru Yue laughed bitterly: ”As long as she knows about courtesy, integrity, and shame, she would not act in such a way. But since Second Aunt is so scolding, I'm afraid that the marriage cannot be arranged, right?”
”If it doesn't work, then she won't scold you for so long. Your second uncle, seeing that Painted Musings can get married, he has already passed the word 'Painted' to the Wang family!”
If they were to break the engagement or something like that, for a person like Bai Ru Hua who had ”entered the second palace”, then they could never hope to get married into a proper family again in their lifetime.
”However, Ru Yue, come to think of it, your marriage with Lu Family had ended. Although everyone knows that it was because of Shi Mai that you fell into such a predicament, your reputation had been tarnished. What plans do you have for the future?”
”What?” Bai Yan Shi anxiously whipped his arm: ”What nonsense are you spouting!”
”Mother …”
”I'm not angry...”
”If you don't have a temper, why don't you marry?” If I were you, I would think of a way to marry myself off to someone even better than Lu Zheng Hai, and make my life even more lively, making him angry to death! ”
Seeing Bai Yan Shi like that, Bai Ru Yue could not help but laugh, but her heart was sweet and warm, because she felt what was the love of a family member.
”Mother!” You said it yourself, if we were to find someone better than Lu Zheng Hai, how many people in the thirteen cities are better than him? ”
Bai Yan Shi pursed her lips.
Those who are better off than us look down on us, and those who are worse off, I also look down on them. So, I thought, why don't we first strengthen our Bai Family, and make life better for us, and then we can choose a husband, right?
”Your words make sense...”
”So, I'm not marrying right now. My daughter finally became a disciple of a great master and can practice alchemy. Why not cherish this opportunity and work hard?”
As Bai Ru Yue spoke, she blinked at Bai Yan Shi and raised her eyebrows. Bai Yan Shi was stunned as she reached out her hand to touch Bai Ru Yue's face.
”My Ru Yue has really grown up. She's no longer crying and frowning. She's no longer a young lady who blames herself for nothing!”
”Mother, in this past half year, Bai Family received a cold sneer and felt a warm and human feeling. If your daughter still hasn't grown up, wouldn't that be letting down the all that Bai Family had suffered?”
Bai Ru Yue's words immediately brought tears to Bai Yan Shi's eyes, and at this time, matron's voice came from the courtyard:
”Eldest Miss!” The Residence of Yun came over, and said he wanted to visit you to order Qi Accumulating Pill! Master has invited them to stay in the Flower Hall, you should hurry over! ”
Bai Ru Yue glanced at Bai Yan Shi when she heard him.
”Hurry up and go! Young Master Yun is an esteemed guest, don't be slow! ”
”Yes.”
