After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

Chapter 23 Bai Zhi's First Outing

Wen Baizhi was nervously waiting for his feedback.

But she didn't know that Si Jiu's sense of taste had long been damaged.

Si Jiu just wanted to share a bowl of noodles with her secretly.

As expected, Si Jiu didn't feel anything when it put into his mouth, but it caused some ripples slightly after it fell into his stomach.

He said, “It’s delicious.”

Wen Baizhi snorted: "You just ate one, one, and you can tell it tastes good?"

Si Jiu said with confidence and certainty: "It's delicious."

Wen Baizhi laughed: "If you say it's delicious, then it's delicious, but don't eat too much. You can only eat that one, or you'll have a stomachache and roll around."

Si Jiu continued to eat the porridge in front of him with a spoon.

In the end, I actually finished half a bowl of porridge after a long time.

After the meal, it was already late at night.

Si Jiu knew he had no reason to let her stay for long: "It's late, I'm sorry to bother you again tonight, go back and rest early."

At this moment, Si Jiu regretted very much that he had casually pointed to the courtyard for Wen Baizhi.

It takes a cup of tea to walk to his residence.

Wen Baizhi touched her full stomach and said, "It's really late. I'm going back."

After that, she stood up and said goodbye to Si Jiu: "Then I'll go back first. You ate spicy food tonight, so you should pay attention to your stomach. If there is any problem, go to see Doctor Rong safely," she added, "or you can come to see me."

Si Jiu's expression softened and he said, "I understand."

Wen Baizhi didn't stay any longer and was sent back by Ping An with the lamp.

Si Jiu washed himself carefully again. He was still worried that Wen Baizhi would smell his odor, so he would wash himself no matter how late it was.

When he walked back to the bed with wet hair, the image of Wen Baizhi lying beside his bed when he woke up yesterday appeared in front of his eyes.

That was a rare moment of peace, so he would always bring it up to reminisce over the past few days.

He kicked off his shoes and got into bed, curled up his body, and slept on his side on the edge of the bed.

His cheek was pressed against the place where Wen Baizhi had been lying yesterday.

Just like that, thinking about Wen Baizhi's face and smelling the faint scent she left behind, Si Jiu slept soundly for an hour.

Although it was only an hour, it was already not easy for him.

Wen Baizhi got up early the next morning.

She called Cuizhi: "Cuizhi, go and prepare some men's clothes for me."

Cuizhi asked curiously, "Miss, why do you want men's clothes?"

Cuizhi was the first person Wen Baizhi met after her rebirth, and she had always been loyal to her, so she did not hide anything from Cuizhi.

"I want to go out and find out what's going on in the court."

Cuizhi said, "Miss, this is not good."

Wen Baizhi didn't care: "What's wrong with that? Although I'm a woman, I also care about current affairs, isn't that okay?"

If she had not been married to Si Jiu and was afraid of bringing bad luck to Si Jiu if she went out rashly, she would not have forced herself to wear men's clothes.

Cuizhi did not dare to disobey her order: "Then I will go to the market today to buy a few for you, young lady."

Wen Baizhi said with satisfaction: "This is my good Cuizhi."

Cuizhi acted quickly and bought the clothes in the afternoon.

And the clothes are all Wen Baizhi's size.

Wen Baizhi changed into men's clothes and threw another set of clothes to Cuizhi.

Cuizhi took the clothes and said in confusion: "Miss, why are you giving this clothes to me?"

Wen Baizhi tapped her head: "Of course I asked you to change it too."

Cuizhi rubbed her head and said, "Should I wear it too?"

Wen Baizhi was tying her belt: "Of course, do you want to wear women's clothes and let me take you out? What will others say if they see you like this?"

Cuizhi nodded continuously: "Young lady is really thoughtful."

Then she changed her clothes.

As soon as the two left the mansion, someone passed the message to Si Jiu, who was on duty in the palace at the time.

Si Jiu was sitting upright on a mahogany chair, listening to Ping An's report about the mansion as his wife and maid left.

Si Jiu held a folded book in one hand and hid the other hand under the table, pressing it against his abdomen.

The noodles he ate last night have caused his stomach to hurt since this morning.

"Send someone to follow Madam and make sure she is safe. Report any news at any time."

Ping An agreed to all of them.

Over the past few days, Ping An has increasingly noticed that Wen Baizhi holds a different position in Si Jiu's heart.

He was happy for Si Jiu.

After all, he still remembers clearly all the injuries Si Jiu had suffered over the years.

But on the other hand, he couldn't help but worry about Si Jiu. After all, no matter how prominent their status was in the outside world, they were just eunuchs who could not be humane.

He retreated silently.

However, Si Jiu couldn't help but wonder why Wen Baizhi left the house now.

She even changed into men's clothes to make it easier for her to move around.

He wondered if he had been too weak these days, causing her to feel bored, so she wanted to take the maid and escape from the Governor's Mansion and escape from him.

Just thinking about this possibility gave Si Jiu a headache.

He leaned his forehead against the table.

Wen Baizhi was naturally not what he guessed. She just wanted to go out and find out some information.

She brought Cuizhi to the largest teahouse in Kyoto.

Here is Kyoto's most famous storyteller Baili Wendao.

He often talks about some of the hottest topics of the day in teahouses.

Therefore, this teahouse is often packed.

When Wen Baizhi arrived, the downstairs was already full, with only two private rooms left upstairs.

Without thinking much, she paid the money and went to the box in the middle.

The waiter took the money flatteringly and took the two of them upstairs.

"Please take a seat, gentlemen. I will serve you tea."

After saying this, the waiter left.

Wen Baizhi took off her cloak casually and hung it aside, then found a chair to sit down.

Cuizhi, on the other hand, was looking around and touching things curiously.

"Miss, why do you seem like this isn't your first time here? You look so familiar with it."

Wen Baizhi reminded: "You have to call me Master now."

Cuizhi's neck shrank: "Sir."

Wen Baizhi couldn't tell her that she often came here to listen to storytelling three years ago, and even became a close friend with Baili Wendao.

She had no choice but to make up an excuse: "I just heard someone say that before. I was always with you before. You didn't know whether I came here or not."

Cuizhi said: "Young Master is right, I was talking nonsense."

The waiter worked quickly and the tea, water, melon seeds and snacks were all served soon.

Wen Baizhi picked up the jade cake and put it in her mouth, sighing with satisfaction: "Finally I get to eat this again, it still tastes the same as before."

Cuizhi was puzzled again: "Sir, didn't you say you had never been here? How come you have eaten this cake more than once?"

For the first time, Wen Baizhi felt that Cuizhi was really smart.

She had no choice but to make up some nonsense: "It should be something that someone brought to me when they came to the Wen Mansion some time ago. It's normal that you don't remember it because it's been so long."

Then she took another cake and stuffed it directly into Cuizhi's mouth: "Try it too and see if it's delicious."

At this moment, on the platform in the middle of the downstairs, an old man walked slowly to the middle of the platform.

The originally noisy building suddenly became silent.

Wen Baizhi looked at Baili Wendao's familiar face and said silently in her heart.

"Long time no see, old man."

At this moment, Baili Wendao downstairs suddenly looked up and looked towards her position.

When their eyes met, Wen Baizhi subconsciously felt that he recognized her.

Although this is unlikely, she has this intuition.
