Discovery 055

  Her face had a faint smile, and her eyes were filled with confident light, making everyone involuntarily convinced.

  "Alright, I'll go hunting in the mountains for a few days and then pretend to be injured." Bai Ping scratched his head with his hand, looking a bit dull and also somewhat amusing.

  A warm feeling in his heart, a surge of joy suddenly rose up, as if he had found a child who could be taught.

  Then we can start taking action now.

  "Big brother, you can go to the Zhang's house now. If you meet people from the village on the way and they ask what you're doing, just tell them you're going to the mountains to hunt."

  "Alright, I will definitely do it well."

  Bai Ping immediately agreed and stood up, taking big strides as he walked out. This time, there was no hesitation, no reluctance, no despair, but instead a fullness of hope and determination.

  In the evening, Bai Ping returned, with a look of satisfaction and confidence between his eyebrows, it seemed that things had gone very smoothly.

  As soon as Bai Pingyi entered the house, he closed the front door and then went into the main room, carefully closing the door behind him, looking like he had something important to say.

  Seeing Bai Ping approaching stealthily, An Yan couldn't help but smile. Although she didn't want to tease him, she still said: "You're closing the door so tightly in broad daylight, are you trying to tell everyone that the White family is secretly discussing important matters inside?"

  Bai Ping was taken aback by An Yan's question and scratched his head awkwardly.

  "But what if someone accidentally hears it?"

  Baiping, having been educated by An Yan, now thoroughly embodies being meticulous and prudent. Originally thinking that his actions would be affirmed, he unexpectedly found himself being questioned, leaving Baiping somewhat at a loss.

  She let out a soft sigh and continued in a gentle voice, "Even if we're thinking of doing something secretly, on the surface, we have to make it look like we're being open and honest. So even when discussing secrets, we need to keep the door open and pretend we're just chatting casually. And with the door open, if someone tries to eavesdrop, won't we be able to notice right away?"

  Listening quietly with a well-behaved look on his face, looking like a good little baby.

  An Yan turned around and opened the large gate of the hall, then said: "Now that it's late, our family is in such a situation, closing the door early can also be considered reasonable. Alright, big brother, hurry up and tell me how your discussion with Zhang Tiejiang went?"

  As soon as this was mentioned, Bai Ping immediately became spirited and said with a light tone: "When I first talked to Zhangzi about cooperating to sell bamboo shoots, he had an expression like he was ill. So I described the deliciousness of the bamboo shoots in detail, and then explained the reason for cooperation. After listening, he was very moved, but still wanted to taste the flavor of the bamboo shoots first. Therefore, we agreed that tomorrow we would go to see the progress of the bow and arrow's manufacture on the surface, but actually go to make a dish of bamboo shoots and let him see if the bamboo shoots are really as valuable as we said."

  "Alright, let's go together tomorrow with Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law."

  "Uh-huh."

  Everyone had no objection and nodded in agreement. Next, everyone quietly finished dinner and returned to their rooms to rest.

  An Wen stood at the door, feeling a little nervous. The glance from Bai Shi's eyes earlier today flashed through her mind again, leaving a bitter taste in her heart. How was she going to tell that mother, tell her that her daughter had long been gone? When she first arrived, she was lost and alone, only thinking about how to protect herself, how to survive safely. As a result, she neglected many things, including the feelings of that kind-hearted mother. Now, should she speak the truth?

  "I know you're outside, come in."

  Just as she was hesitating, a sighing voice came from inside the room.

  Bai sighed in despair and weakness. He thought that Bai Shi probably didn't want to understand either, but he had no choice but to face it, no choice but to know the truth about his daughter.

  She calmed herself down and tried to look more composed before pushing open the door and walking in.

  "Mrs. White."

  Her words cut straight to the truth. She could no longer deceive this mother, nor face her again. Her head hung low, her eyes dim and helpless.

  Upon hearing the three words "White Madam", White's tears instantly overflowed. At that moment, all her strength seemed to have been drained away, and she was almost unable to stand upright.

  Bai stood by the window, her back to An Yan. At this moment, she couldn't muster any strength in her body. She stretched out her hand to lean on the windowsill, barely stabilizing herself and preventing herself from falling to the ground.

  "When was it?"

  Bai's voice was filled with an endless desolation and despair, so powerless that it made An Yan's heart ache secretly.

  "It was that time when I returned from Qingcheng, I woke up from my confusion. At first, I was afraid of being treated as a monster and being burned to death. Sorry, I know it's meaningless to say anything now, but I still want to say sorry to you."

  In a way, she wasn't wrong. It's just that when facing the person who was her mother, she suddenly felt extremely guilty. She had taken over someone else's body, even if it was an accident, but she had indeed benefited from it. Because she had regained her life, could freely breathe in the fresh air, and once again enjoy the warmth of family love.

  "Leave now and don't come back, I don't want to see you."

  Bai's emotions suddenly erupted, and she suddenly spoke harshly to An Yan. She turned around abruptly, her face full of hatred, her lips trembling, her finger pointing at An Yan, her words filled with resentment.

  "Leave now and don't come back, I don't want to see you."

  Bai's words kept echoing in An's ears, sentence by sentence, becoming a haunting curse that left her almost breathless.

  An Yan suddenly took a step back, his face pale, and a hint of vulnerability and injury appeared in his eyes.

  She had always known that Bai would react this way, it was within her expectations. But when Bai really treated her like this, looking at her with such hatred in his eyes, she still felt a pang of heartbreak. At this moment, the images flashing rapidly in her mind were all of Bai's gentle moments. Bai always liked to hold her hand and comfort her with his soft voice.

  Is all this going to disappear now?

  Under Bai Shi's resolute gaze, An Yan's words fell apart, and she felt the entire room was suffocating. She turned around and ran out abruptly.

  Bang!

  However, in the courtyard, he bumped into Bai Ping who happened to be walking in. An Yan apologized softly and then quickly ran out of the gate.

  Bai Ping was unclear about what had happened, so he stood up and looked at his own front door, puzzled, saying: "What's going on?"

  As his words fell, another gust of wind swept past his ear, and he turned to see his aunt, Madame Bai, running out with tears streaming down her face.

  Aunt?

  What's going on? Su He was puzzled. She had always been respectful of the elderly and loving to children, so when did she become notorious as a shrew in the village?

  Hit grandma?

  Su Hona is still unmarried, how can she directly beat her mother-in-law?

  Abandoned wife?

  Su He had just accepted the fact of crossing over, but was about to face the crisis of becoming a discarded wife.

  Looking at her sister-in-law glaring at her, the disappointed mother-in-law lying on the bed, and her husband turning a deaf ear to her. Su He smiled lightly, it's better this way!

  She was able to make a name for herself in the modern era through her own hard work, creating a successful business. Now that she's just changed environments, she can still easily handle things.

  Then she started a great transformation as a rural woman, vowing to live out her own style.

  She went up the mountain, down to the fields, sold local specialties and built a factory, becoming a unique landscape in the village.
