After the Wu family left, Jiang Yichun quietly said to Bai Ruozhu: "Don't mention Mrs. Wu's affairs in the future. She was seriously injured, and... you act like you don't know anything, so as not to embarrass the Wu family."

Bai Ruozhu opened her mouth in shock, and...

Thinking of Mrs. Wu being such a proud person, she might not be able to accept it, right?

"Don't take the responsibility on yourself. If you want to blame her, you can only blame her cousin for being vain and helping King Duan scheme against her. When you were rescued, something had happened to her," Jiang Yichun said.

Bai Ruozhu nodded slightly. She felt sorry, but she did not feel that she was the almighty Virgin.

Everything in Beiyu City is back to normal, but the pressure in the Bai family is still a little low. The secret guard had already found out the information, and Niu Cuicui had not come into contact with anyone suspicious. Not long after they left Anyuan Town, Niu Cuicui went to the hand cake stall to look for them.

It was also because Linjiang Village suffered a bandit disaster, Niu Cuicui suddenly remembered the past, and her man was beaten by the bandits with internal injuries, and he left after a short time. Later, her son was also frightened, crying every night, and soon died.

She left her daughter with her husband's family and began to look for traces of Xiao Si everywhere.

Naturally, she learned about Xiaosi's situation from Mrs. Niu at the beginning, and her man was dead, so she didn't have so many worries. In addition, she lost a son, so she wanted to get this son back.

If you want to ask her, does she still have a daughter? But at this time, the villagers paid more attention to men because they wanted to have sons to support themselves in old age, so Niu Cuicui was determined to find her son.

She asked around in Anyuan Town, and worked as a handyman for people doing laundry. After such a long time, she finally found Beiyu City, but she didn't expect to encounter King Duan's rebellion and almost lost her life.

Bai Ruozhu's lips twitched when she heard this, thinking that Niu Cuicui had finally been carried home.

"Master, she is still being detained in the government office. It is said that she does not have the money to pay the fee to obtain the identity document." Jian Qi said.

"No way. As far as I know, there is not much handling fee for issuing documents. Does the court have regulations?" Bai Ruozhu asked puzzledly.

"It only requires two hundred coins, but she is penniless." Jian Qi said again.

Bai Ruozhu's face fell when she heard this, "She is penniless, and she is still shouting to find her son. If she is really allowed to take her son away, how can she take care of Xiaosi if she is penniless? Still think we must miss her Because of your friendship with Xiaosi, will you give them a sum of money before leaving?"

After superficial investigation, Niu Cuicui did not have contact with King Duan or anyone with ulterior motives, but her behavior was hard not to make people suspicious.

If you really want to take the child away, you have to consider your current abilities, right?

"It's not that she knows that our family is well off, so she has to recognize Xiaosi in order to gain some glory, right?" Lin Ping'er felt a little worried, "It's true that she really wants to make money, so let's give her some money and let her Don’t disturb Xiaosi now. When Xiaosi grows up, he can go find her if he wants to."

"I'll go to the government office to bring her out in two days, and then talk to her." Bai Ruozhu said.

The whole family agreed very much, and it would be nice to let the cow Cuicui dry for a few more days.

Two days later, Bai Ruozhu asked a steward to go to the government office to help Niu Cuicui pay the money, help her get the identity document, and then took her to see Bai Ruozhu.

"I heard that you are penniless now. Are you planning to take Xiaosi away if you come to recognize Xiaosi?" Bai Ruozhu asked straight to the point.

Niu Cuicui lowered her head and rubbed her hands uncomfortably, and said, "He is the only son I have. Your Bai family has two other sons. Why can't you give them back to me?"

"Give it back to you. You don't have a penny, so how can you take him away? Are you begging all the way back to Linjiang Village?" Bai Ruozhu asked, "Even if you go back, how are you going to explain Xiaosi's identity to others? The imperial court is suppressing bandits. Some of the remnants of Batian Village have escaped, and the court is already very unhappy about this. What if Xiaosi’s identity is known?”

Bai Ruozhu snorted coldly as he spoke, "If you really thought about your son, if the situation was so bad that day, you shouldn't have made such a fuss in front of my house. Xiao Si has never had your concern since he was born, and now you think of it He is dead, and because you have no son, you have to take him as your own like an object, but have you thought about his feelings and his future? "

"You just want to comfort yourself, and you don't care at all about the danger he may put in!"

Niu Cuicui's face turned white and red when Bai Ruozhu said it, and she said angrily: "You said so much, don't you just want to give me back my son? Even if your family is rich, you can't bully others like this!"

Bai Ruozhu sneered, "Then what evidence do you have to prove that he is your son? When the court tried the identity of Xiaosi, Mrs. Niu did not say he was her grandson. If your matter really comes to the government, we will not recognize it, and you will not admit it. no way."

"I, we can shed blood to recognize our relatives." Niu Cuicui said nervously.

Bai Ruozhu sneered. She was not afraid of admitting someone with blood, but she didn't want to embarrass Niu Cuicui too much. Such a straight face was just to scare her.

"The reason you are looking for a son is just to have someone to take care of you in the future. Xiaosi is not in Beiyu City now. He worshiped his master and went to study with his master in other places. You are just dragging him down just to take care of him in old age. Maybe it will harm him." Wouldn't it be too selfish to take his life?" Bai Ruozhu finished speaking and took out a few banknotes, "Here are two hundred taels of silver. If you are afraid that no one will take care of you in old age, this money is enough for you to do some small business to support your life. If you don’t want to do business, you can buy some land near Linjiang Village and become a landlord to collect rent and live your life."

Niu Cuicui's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to the banknotes. The most she had ever saved at home was ten taels of silver, but now she had two hundred taels of silver in front of her!

Bai Ruozhu observed her expression and couldn't help but feel ridiculous. She added: "You take the money and promise not to disturb Xiao Si for ten years. I will tell Xiao Si about his life experience in ten years. Do you want to do it then?" It’s up to him to make his own decision to see you.”

"I, I didn't sell my son for money. If you tell him that, can he still forgive me?" Niu Cuicui said this, her eyes still glued to the banknote.

"I won't tell him about giving you money," Bai Ruozhu said.

Niu Cuicui showed a look of struggle on her face, and finally took the bank note and agreed to Bai Ruozhu's request.

Bai Ruozhu went back and told the results to her family. Everyone was sighing. They thought Niu Cuicui's main purpose was money, right? Otherwise, it is really for the sake of the child that she should not come to recognize her relatives at this time. Or if the Bai family were so poor, would she still come?

Niu Cuicui's matter came to an end, and then Beiyu City gradually returned to its previous atmosphere, and in the blink of an eye it was the day when the academy started. Originally, the opening of school had nothing to do with Bai Ruozhu, but Dean Wen personally invited him and said that Bai Ruozhu and Wu Ying must give speeches at the opening ceremony.
