Today, the old man complained that he was ill and refused to participate in ancestor worship or go out to have a drink, so he hid in his hut and didn't notice what happened to Bo Zhenglai.

Bai Ruozhu walked closer with Deng Deng in her arms, and sure enough she heard the voice of an old lady in the house.

"Yibo's father, hurry up and tell the people in the Marquis Mansion. As long as you recognize this relative, can't you save Yibo?" The old lady's tone was full of excitement, as if she was really It's like seeing hope.

Bai Ruozhu curled her lips secretly, the old lady was not so active in coming to see the old man just now, she still needed the old man's support, so she ran over enthusiastically.

Deng Deng struggled a few times in Bai Ruozhu's arms. He wanted to get off the ground to walk, so Bai Ruozhu had to let him down and guard him carefully from behind. Deng Deng happened to be not far away, and she could clearly hear the conversation in the room.

The old man seemed to have little energy and said impatiently: "Who knows whether it is true or not? His own son can't believe it, so he believes in those outsiders?"

The "own son" he referred to was Bai Yihong. The old lady sneered after hearing this. The voice was filled with contempt and disdain, as if Bai Yihong, her son, had lost all face to her.

"That's not an outsider. He's your mother's biological brother, or a noble prince in the capital. If you accept it, we will all be of noble blood in the future!" The old lady said excitedly, her tone rising again.

The old man seemed to be persuaded and got up from the bed. After being silent for a long time, he said, "Okay, I'll go with you to have a look, but don't have too much hope. What if it's fake?"

The old lady snorted and said nonchalantly: "I have thought about it. If it is true, we will have one more noble relative, and we can save the boss. Even if it is false, what can they do to us? That's it. We can’t find us even if we are partial to wealth, aren’t there Yihong and his family who are still there to take care of us?”

Bai Ruozhu curled her lips outside the window and said that the old lady was stupid, wasn't she quite smart at this time?

The old man seemed to agree with the old lady's point of view, but he was arrogant and did not speak. Instead, he got up and walked out.

Bai Ruozhu helped Deng Deng walk a little further. Soon the old man and the old lady walked out of the house and saw her and Deng Deng, but they didn't expect that she could hear anything. After all, they were still some distance away. , Most people’s ears are not that sharp.

Bai Fu glanced at Deng Deng with a look of disdain. Bai Ruozhu originally wanted to say hello to him and was polite, but when he saw him looking at Deng Deng like this, she felt a little annoyed.

The old man and the old lady didn't care about her, but why did they look down on little Dengdeng? What's wrong with the child?

No mother would like others to see her children like this. Bai Ruozhu held back some anger in her heart, thinking that sooner or later she would have to teach them a lesson.

The old lady pulled the old man and signaled him not to waste time on Bai Ruozhu. She also turned her head and gouged out Bai Ruozhu, then took Bai Fu to the main room and went straight to Bo Zheng.

At this time, the tables outside were set up. The Bai family served wine, melon seeds, candies, and four-color cold dishes to the guests outside. Bai Lu left the main table out, then went to the main room to find Bo Zheng and said to him: "Bo Steward, go have a meal and sit at the same table with our family."

Bo Zheng stood up in a hurry and saluted, saying, "Young man is a servant. How can I sit at the same table with Mr. Bai? It's a no-brainer."

"The visitor is a guest. You represent Mr. Bo. Since he is our elder, you should also sit at the main table." Bai Lu said politely. The enthusiasm was enthusiasm, but there was no basic hospitality etiquette. The flattering smell made Bo Zheng secretly nod his head, thinking that he was indeed the leader of the clan, but much better than these few who came to flatter him.

After all, Bo Zheng was the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion. Although he didn't like Sanlang and Liu who came over, he always had this smile on his face and was polite. As a result, Sanlang and Liu secretly winked, implying that the other party had a good impression of them.

To sum it up, Bai Fu and Bai Lu are both Bo Jingru's sons and nephews of the old man of the Hou Mansion. If they want to take advantage of it, both families will definitely get the glory, but they can't let Bai Lu, the patriarch of the clan, be too pushy and take away all the benefits. .

"His second uncle, why are you so anxious? Your eldest brother just came out to talk to Manager Bo. What does it mean if you call him away?" Mrs. Liu started to stop him.

Bai Lu hurriedly suppressed his anger and said, "Since my brother has recovered from his illness, I will go to the main table to eat. If you have anything to say, you can say it during the dinner. Don't keep the folks outside waiting for too long."

Sanlang said from the side: "Those are people from your village. We don't know them. Who cares about them?"

Bo Zheng's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he thought, how come these people don't even know how to treat guests? But he still had a smile on his face, and he quickly put away the worry in his eyes.

Bai Fu was more observant than Liu and others, so he immediately stopped Saburo and said, "Let's go to the banquet. Don't keep the guests waiting for too long."

Bai Lu walked out first, turned to Bai Ruozhu, who was leading Deng Deng in the yard, and said, "Ruozhu, bring Deng Deng to the main table and sit down."

Bai Ruozhu originally wanted to refuse, because she was afraid that Deng Deng's naughtiness would affect everyone's meal, but before she could say anything, Sanlang said, "Clan leader, are you too partial? How can she, a woman, sit at the main table?"

Bai Lu glared at her and said, "Ruozhu is a fifth-grade imperial concubine, and she is also the female bachelor who won the first place in magic in the Eighth Academy Palace Competition this year. Why is she not qualified to sit at the main table?"

Bai Ruozhu swallowed the refusal that was already on her lips. If she didn't want to sit down, how could she let a bastard like Sanlang sit down?

Sanlang was a little speechless, but he muttered: "Who knows whether it is true or not? She likes to put gold on her face."

Bai Ruozhu glanced at him lightly, turned around and walked towards the main table. As she walked, she said, "If you don't believe me, go to Beiyu Academy and ask."

Saburo gritted his teeth. Was he laughing at him for not having been to Beiyu City and seeing the world?

Bo Zheng was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't know that the young lady of the Bai family was so powerful.

Bai Ruozhu went to the main table, and her father and two brothers were seated. The eldest brother even specially asked her to sit next to him and helped her hug her.

When Bai Zehao saw Deng Deng, he missed his daughter, but all the men had to participate in the ancestor worship, and he was the eldest son of the second wife, so he had to bear the pain and leave Caiyue and the child for a few days.

Bai Lu, the village chief and several elders were also sitting at the main table. Together with Bo Zheng and Bai Fu, it was already full.

Bai Yixiao and the others sat at the table next to them with other relatives. Sanlang looked unhappy and muttered that a woman like Bai Ruozhu could sit at the main table, and he was considered a guest, so why not?

Bai Yixiao glared at him, lowered his voice and said, "Your cousin and I haven't even sat down, what do you think you are?"

Saburo's character was that he was not afraid, but it was Bai Fu who winked at him that made him shut his mouth.

The village chief of Maple Leaf Village had already said a few words to Bai Yihong and Bai Zepei. When he saw Bai Ruozhu, he immediately said with a smile: "Ruozhu, I heard that you went to Jiangnan to bring glory to our northwest, and you even won many men. What, it’s really incredible!”
