Bai Zhi said softly: “He is Prince Jin, the sixth prince of Chu.”
Mrs. Zhang was so shocked that she couldn’t close her mouth and turned to look at Bai Erzhu. Bai Erzhu was also dumbfounded. No wonder the clothes Hu Feng was wearing just now were so different from those worn by ordinary rich sons.
Bai Zhi saw that Bai Fugui’s eyes were staring at the table next to her, where there were several plates of cold dishes and two and a half bowls of rice.
She sighed: “If you have anything to say, let’s talk about it after dinner. I’ll have someone take you to dinner.”
Mrs. Zhang hurriedly waved her hand: “No need, no need, we can just eat some leftovers. If you don’t want to eat it, just give it to us.” She swallowed.
In those plates, aside from the green vegetables, there were thick slices of beef. How long has it been since their family had eaten meat?
Bai Zhi didn’t think of it, she nodded her head and said: “Please do.”
The three quickly gathered around the table and devoured several dishes like wolves. She silently moved the medicine box away, so as not to be knocked over by them.
After the three of them finished eating, Bai Zhi gave two more patients an injection. One of the patients’ family members muttered, “Miss Bai is really kind. Not only does she give us free treatment, but she also helps beggars.”
Mrs. Zhang’s mouth stiffened while chewing vegetables. Her face suddenly flushed red. She turned her back to prevent those people from seeing her face.
She used to be a very strong person, but she didn’t expect that there would be such a time where people would take her as a beggar.
She looked at himself and laughed. Doesn’t she look like a beggar?
“They are not beggars, they are here to look for relatives. They encountered bandits on the road, and their things were all snatched away. That’s how they got to this point.” Bai Zhi explained in a slow voice and put the rest of the medicine into the box.
Those with broken mouths immediately smiled awkwardly and hurriedly took the patient away.
Mrs. Zhang Shi was grateful. Bai Zhi was really different from before. Although the clothes she was wearing were not as gorgeous and ostentatious as those wealthy daughters she saw on the road, Bai Zhi looked elegant and decent. She was now taller than before. And her beautiful face has now bloomed. When she first saw her, she didn’t dare to call her, for fear of recognizing the wrong person.
Bai Erzhu asked, “That person just said that you treat people for free? That’s a big favor!”
Bai Zhi didn’t answer Bai Erzhu, instead, said to Mrs. Zhang: “I think you must not know why Bai Zhenzhu came to the capital with Bai Dazhu’s family, right?”
Mrs. Zhang immediately nodded her head, wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth with his backhand, and asked anxiously, “Do you know why right?”
Bai Zhi said: “I know, do you really want to know?”
Mrs. Zhang: “Of course, I want to know what it is for, that she could abandon her family.”
Bai Zhi sighed, pointed to the stool beside her, and said, “Sit down. Before I tell you her whereabouts, I think you should know the inside story.”
The three sat down and stared at her with burning eyes.
Bai Zhi briefly explained the cause and effect and looked at the changing faces of the three. She didn’t say much, she just stated the important facts.
Mrs. Zhang knelt in front of Bai Zhi, stretched out her hand, and hit her face. The slapping sound was loud and clear: “It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault that my daughter has gone this way. Unexpectedly, I have forced her to do such a wicked thing.”
Bai Zhi shook her head: “What does this have to do with you? You didn’t know the inside story from the beginning to the end. Who would have thought that people’s greed will make people crazy.”
Mrs. Zhang refused to get up, she raised her hazy teary eyes, and opened her mouth several times, but couldn’t ask what she wanted.
