The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Ge Qinglan opened the door. He was wearing a white inner garment and an outer coat on his shoulders. His hair was a little messy, and his eyes were still a little confused as he looked at the crowd outside the door.

Behind him, in the dim room, Hua Miaomiao only showed half of her face. She was sleeping soundly and was not affected.

It was obvious that he had just been woken up, and he didn't want his wife to be disturbed, so he hurried to open the door. Everyone turned their eyes to Bai Fuqiu to see if she had anything else to say.

Bai Fuqiu was about to collapse. She didn't believe that there was something wrong with her eyes. Besides, the maid also saw Ge Qinglan coming out, didn't she?

"Is Miss Bai having some kind of hysteria?" Pi Fu said with a sarcastic look on her face. After hearing this, everyone sighed.

"No. I clearly..."

"That's enough, Fuqiu, go back to the house." Uncle Bai ordered someone to take Bai Fuqiu away.

But Bai Fuqiu was still struggling. She suddenly thought of something and pointed her hand in the direction of Hua Miaomiao.

"Don't forget what that witch does at home. Maybe she practices some kind of witchcraft."

Ge Qinglan closed the door and looked at his uncle Bai with displeasure, "Is this how your Bai family treats guests? My wife was born in a family of righteous sorcerers, and now she is the second wife of the Ge family. How can I allow others to slander me again and again?"

Uncle Bai was used to Ge Qinglan's amiable manner, and was stunned by his majesty. He then realized that this was the second young master of the Ge family after all, and he was not so easy to be manipulated.

"The young lady is ill. Take her home and ask the doctor to see her. She is not allowed to go out until she is well."

Ge Qinglan nodded slightly in approval, turned back to the house and locked everyone out.

After everyone had left, Pi Fu quietly sneaked in. She saw a dripping wet person climbing in through the side window.

Ge Qinglan slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, looking like he had survived a disaster.

Fortunately, Pi Fu acted in time and replaced herself, and Xiuzhu pretended to be herself, otherwise she would have fallen into their trap.

"You are so stupid. If it weren't for Xiuzhu and me today, I wonder how you would explain to Miaomiao."

"You are right, Senior. Thank you for your help today, Senior and Master."

"It's okay." Xiuzhu waved his hand, and Ge Qinglan suddenly felt refreshed, and his wet clothes returned to normal.

"Rest early, and let's settle the Bai family's affairs tomorrow, and then we'll be on our way."

"I understand." Ge Qinglan replied. What happened tonight could be considered as a break with the Bai family, so there was nothing to worry about.

Pi Fu chased Xiu Zhu out of the room. She stopped him and asked curiously, "You seem to be different towards Ge Qinglan."

"Have it?"

"With your previous temper, you would never do something like drying his clothes."

"It's just convenient."

"Just admit it. You also think that Ge Qinglan is different from him, right?"

"What's the difference? It's equally stupid and will only cause trouble." He avoided Pi Fu and strode away.

Pi Fu said to his back: "He is still a child. He needs time to grow up."

The next morning, Ge Qinglan took Zhao Xiaowu out.

Hua Miaomiao felt a little uncomfortable when she didn't see him after she got up.

Pi Fu was helping her draw her eyebrows while pinching her face and said, "You slept well. We were so busy last night."

"what happened?"

Pi Fu stopped what she was doing and began to describe the situation vividly, with Xiao Yu helping her out. Both of them gave very vivid descriptions.

Hua Miaomiao felt a little sympathetic towards Bai Fuqiu. She was also a blessed girl, who had just experienced a huge change and encountered all these things. This made her think of herself. Fortunately, since she met Ge Qinglan, everything was developing in a good direction. He was really her lucky star.

"Where is Ge Qinglan?"

"He's gone to inspect the shop. Why? You miss him after just a short while?"

"No, I'm just asking." Hua Miaomiao denied it repeatedly. Her mind couldn't help but emerge with the scene before she blacked out last night, and her little face turned red.

"Oh, what are you thinking about? Look at your happy face."

"Senior, please stop teasing my young lady."

While the three of them were chatting and laughing, Ge Qinglan came in from outside with a serious face.

"Senior, Xiaoyu, pack up and leave as soon as possible. Xiuzhu and Xiaowu are already waiting outside."

Hua Miaomiao had never seen him so nervous before, so she asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

"The water in Qingzhou is too deep. Let's talk about it after we go out." He stretched out his hand to embrace Hua Miaomiao, but his mind flashed through last night's drunken words. His hand froze unconsciously. He abruptly changed direction and held her elbow. This was a safe yet distant distance.

Hua Miaomiao was stunned for a moment, but didn't think too much about it and followed him out of the Bai Mansion.

It was not until they got into the car that Ge Qinglan no longer picked her up but slowly helped her in. Only then did she realize what had gone wrong.

In the car, Ge Qinglan roughly explained the situation to them. They went to check the accounts suddenly today, maybe because Mr. Bai left suddenly, the person who took over was not familiar with him and had no time to cover up. So they soon found the loopholes. Zhao Xiaowu asked him to hold back for now, but the more he checked, the more shocking it became. It involved the smuggling of official salt and the dignitaries of the court. No wonder the Bai family was eager to get close to Ge Qinglan, it turned out that they wanted to drag him into the water.

After discussing with each other, Ge Qinglan and Zhao Xiaowu decided to keep it to themselves for the time being, in case the Bai family got desperate and bit back. Later, they would pass the news back to Ge Qingcheng and find a way to quietly separate the Bai family from the situation, cut off their tail and survive, and avoid being affected.

Hua Miaomiao broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. The calculations in the business world were much more thrilling than the backyard fights. She reached out and patted Ge Qinglan on the shoulder. Feeling the momentary stiffness of her men, she became even more confused.

Did she lose control of herself after drinking last night and do something terrible? Thinking of the last time she got drunk, she felt that it was possible. So she decided to ask him about it in the evening when they were alone.

Ge Qinglan decided to change the original route and go to the next destination through a small path. After all, there were many experts in their group. If they really encountered an ambush, as long as they were not in a busy city, they would not need to hide their presence and could use their full strength.

They arrived at a remote post station, with only one postmaster inside. He was reluctant to entertain everyone, but the Ge family was known as an imperial merchant, so he had no choice but to open the door and let them in.

The guest room was on the second floor, and it was so dilapidated that it was almost uninhabitable. Xiaoyu suggested that they go out to set up a tent, but Pifu said that a rainstorm was coming and it was safer to stay indoors.

Ge Qinglan looked at the crumbling beams and the roof through which the sky was faintly visible. He was curious about how Pi Fu defined safety. Moreover, with such a clear sky, where did the rain come from?

Xiuzhu and Hua Miaomiao both understood Pi Fu's reasons, but they didn't know how to explain it to her.

Ants always want to find a higher place before it rains so that they can feel safe.
