White House

Shen Yunhe sat beside Wei Shengci's bed, his face full of guilt. If it weren't for him, Chu Xiangyu wouldn't have killed Wei Shengci.

"The poison in my little junior sister's body has been detoxified, but her internal energy can no longer be used for a short period of time. It needs to be recuperated for a period of time."

Ning Ruo told Bai Ruofeng outside the room door. Mr. Bai's face was full of worry, and he clutched his hands nervously and fearfully.

"Hey!" Mr. Bai was worried, but this time, he was much quieter.

Yu Xiaoxiao, who was beside Bai Ruofeng, glanced at the calm Bai Ruofeng.

He showed everything, and he must have been very angry in his heart.

"Prince Xichu, you must have guessed that the emperor would not express his opinion. After all, the emperor also regards the Bai family as a thorn in his side and has nowhere to vent. This is better."

Although Yu Xiaoxiao is a military commander, he also understands the current situation.

"Ruofeng!"

"grandfather!"

With a stern look on Mr. Bai's face, he sighed, "A family cannot be defeated temporarily by relying on outsiders. The same is true for the country. Today's Bai family is weak, but the emperor is still afraid. Grandpa does not want what happened back then to happen again. , a hundred years later, can you protect your sister?"

Faced with this problem, Bai Ruofeng glanced at Mr. Bai.

"Grandpa, Ruofeng will do his best."

Mr. Bai nodded, patted Bai Ruofeng's shoulder, and looked at the room again. He didn't go in. Finally, he turned around and left. Yu Mo helped him leave the quiet courtyard.

Looking at the old man's declining back, Bai Ruofeng felt extremely guilty.

Today's Bai family has long lost its former glory. As the head of the family, he is restricted. His business is robbed by the Pan family, and he is restricted at every step.

The younger sister can only declare to the outside world that she is an adopted daughter. No matter how powerful he is, he still cannot protect his relatives.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Bai Ruofeng's expression, feeling helpless and unable to change.

Yu Xiaoxiao subconsciously squeezed his hand, "Don't worry, it will be fine!"

Bai Ruofeng, who was comforted, looked at Yu Xiaoxiao and nodded slightly.

Ning Ruo added: "Senior brother is coming back with Lan Po's envoy. They should be back a day early. This time, sister is coming as Lan Po's envoy. Prince Libei is about to arrive."

Bai Ruofeng's eyes changed again and again, and he sighed deeply and inhaled again.

"Mei Man and the others should have almost arrived in Xichu, right?"

Ning Ruo nodded.

"When they arrive in Xichu, we will take action immediately. Before that, the military power of the [-]-strong army will have to change its owner."

This time, Yu Xiaoxiao looked up at Bai Ruofeng.

Although he didn't say anything, he was still confused in his heart. He didn't enter the court, but he could change the direction of the entire court with a single order.

If he is a treacherous minister, then Bei Yong will probably cease to exist.

Ning Ruo glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao, and then said, "I'll make arrangements."

After Ning Ruo went to do other things, Yu Xiaoxiao stood with Bai Rufeng at the door for a long time.

"Aren't you going in?"

Bai Ruofeng shook his head and said, "No!"

Yu Xiaoxiao said: "Then shall I accompany you for a walk?"

Bai Ruofeng nodded.

Let's go to the back garden together.

At this time, Shen Yunhe was beside Wei Shengci in the attic, holding her hand tightly, worrying all the time.

The tears in his eyes were flowing uncontrollably, and he really should have stopped them.

If something happened to Wei Shengci, what should he do and how should he explain to the Bai family.

Caressing her face, the slightly silent face slowly warmed up and was no longer as pale as before, and he felt much more relieved.

Bai Ruofeng and Yu Xiaoxiao were walking in the back garden, but they were quiet for a while.

"The wedding is getting closer, are you scared?"

Bai Ruofeng suddenly asked Yu Xiaoxiao.

Yu Xiaoxiao smiled and asked, "Do you think I should be afraid?"

Master Bai Ruofeng immediately smiled and said: "You see she is a heroic female general, so I should be afraid!"

Two sentences, successfully set the mood.

Yu Xiaoxiao met Bai Ruofeng for the first time and was talking nonsense seriously.

In Yu Xiaoxiao's heart, she was actually not sure whether she understood Bai Ruofeng. They had only known each other for just half a month, and they were already an engaged couple before they met.

"Then you have to be nice to me. If you don't obey, I will treat you like a trained soldier, without exception."

After Bai Ruofeng heard what Yu Xiaoxiao said, it seemed like a warning, but it was so funny.

He felt a little dull when faced with feelings, but Yu Xiaoxiao came to see him every day.

It can also be seen that Yu Xiaoxiao is a wanton and flamboyant woman, and she should not be controlled by power.

But as a child of a large family, she also needs to consider her family and herself.

She has done a good job in front of her family and her family's safety.

If Jin Da's marriage proposal hadn't been made before the marriage contract arrived, she might have been abandoned by Bei Yong.

"You're still smiling." Seeing Bai Ruofeng actually smiling.

"I'm not smiling."

"you laughed."

"no!"

Faced with such sophistry, Yu Xiaoxiao didn't want to pay attention.

But the next second, Bai Ruofeng suddenly stopped and held Yu Xiaoxiao's waist.

Yu Xiaoxiao was also stunned and at a loss.

Such movements were full of ambiguity, and Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt her heart beating rapidly.

This was Bai Ruofeng taking the initiative to hug her. Compared with before, he took the initiative. Today he took the initiative, which made Yu Xiaoxiao a little uncomfortable.

"Have you read the betrothal gift list? Is there anything missing?"

Thinking of the list, Yu Xiaoxiao remembered the way her father looked at the list.

"Haha...!" When he received the betrothal gift list, Yu Youcheng was smiling from ear to ear. He looked at his wife and said, "This head of the Bai family is extremely wealthy!"

Mrs. Yu looked at him so happy, frowned and took the order, "You still have the nerve to smile, you look like you are selling your daughters, how much dowry can you give to your daughters? The whole Yu family is so big, the dowries of the two daughters combined, It’s not even half of the betrothal gift, but you are poor, what will you do with your two daughters?”

As a mother, although Mrs. Yu was not born into a noble family, she was still a young lady from a wealthy family. She was once married with a red dot from ten miles away. However, she did not expect that the Yu family was no longer what it used to be. It seemed glorious and wealthy, but it relied on his meager fortune. Living on a salary.

"If it weren't for my dowry and the running of those shops, the Yu family would have collapsed a long time ago. Now that my two daughters are getting married soon, and I can't afford the dowry, I don't know how long I will be laughed at."

"Madam, that Bai Rufeng doesn't look like him at all. He looks like he dislikes Xiaoxiao. As long as he treats his daughter well, it doesn't matter if he doesn't laugh at any jokes."

Yu Yu was comforted by Li Ma, saying that he had been a poor official all his life, and his life in recent years was indeed not very decent.

His words made Mrs. Yu angry, "What good things did your predecessors in the Yu family do to meet such a good daughter-in-law and such a good son-in-law like mine? Your Yu family's ancestors embezzled the court's food and salary. If it weren't for the Yu family's I am not willing to use all my dowry to make up for the shortfall if my clan is exterminated, and I have to live on your sister and daughter’s salary all these years.”

Thinking of these past events, she only felt bitter.

At this time, Yu Xiaoxiao and Yu Yaoyao came over.

Seeing their parents crying, they were stunned for a moment.

"Oh, ma'am, it's my fault, it's all my fault."

Yu immediately apologized.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoxiao was helpless for a moment and didn't know how to answer Bai Ruofeng.

His eyes dodge and he suddenly leans on Bai Ruofeng's shoulder.

Bai Ruofeng just let her lean against him and patted her back.

Everyone in the noble family, the Yu family is also in decline. As a female general, the soldiers under her will suffer from cold and hunger.

Although she does not feel inferior, her parents are dragged down by the family.

"Bai Ruofeng, if you marry me, you may be miserable for eight lifetimes!"

She didn't want to say anything, but with Bai Ruofeng's ability, he must know the bad things going on in her family, and it was no secret.

Because of this matter, it was always whispered among the nobles for a long time.

Back then, it was because of this that the emperor married his aunt. In order to settle the family's debt, the aunt sacrificed her happiness and the mother dispersed the family wealth.

Today's Yu family seems to be a noble family, but it is no different from ordinary families.

"How unlucky is that?"

"It's just unlucky. With your conditions, you could marry someone better. Ever since you went to my house to pay the betrothal gift, have you encountered more difficulties than before?"

Bai Ruofeng said nothing, but Yu Xiaoxiao knew everything.

The emperor was afraid of them, and secretly targeted the Bai family, contacting merchants to suppress the Bai family. Now, although Wei Shengci is his adopted sister, she is still being targeted, and the prince of Xi Chu wants to kill her.

All these things added up to already being exhausted.

Bai Ruofeng hugged Yu Xiaoxiao tightly and comforted her: "Don't worry, just be your general and leave the rest to me."

Yu Xiaoxiao remained silent.
