Mrs. Liu understood a little and said: “Oh, you mean, use our son to be the child of those people so that our family can fly high branches?”

Bai Dazhu slapped his thigh and smiled: “Yes, that’s what I mean.”

Mrs. Liu’s eyes suddenly flashed and said: “If that is the case, Xiaofeng can continue his study. And maybe, he can be friends with some noble young masters. He’ll live with the upper class in the future. When I live with him, I’ll have my own maidservants. I can eat bird’s nest every day. Everyone will kneel in front of me and call me madame, right?”

Bai Dazhu smiled and said: “And people will call me Master. When we have money, we can eat whatever we want to eat, we can do whatever we want to do. I will marry two concubines, and—” Seeing Mrs. Liu’s face changed, he immediately shut his mouth and smiled: “I’m just joking, don’t take it to heart.”

Mrs. Liu sneered and fell in thought for a while, then asked: “What if they lose a daughter?”

Bai Dazhu replied, “If it’s a daughter, don’t our Bai Family have Bai Zhenzhu?”

“But she is not our daughter, even if the noble family you’re saying recognize her, will she be willing to be controlled by us?”

Bai Dazhu laughed: “You can rest assured. Why won’t she? Think about it, we know her real identity. If she wants to live a good life, she should be filial to her relatives. ”

The two continued discussing their plans. They didn’t know that every word they said fell to Bai Zhenzhu’s ears, who was standing outside their room.

Bai Zhenzhu was shocked, but there was a faint excitement in her heart. She even hoped and prayed that the noble family’s missing child to be a girl.

She was about to turn around and leave, but she heard Mrs. Liu saying: “But Zhenzhu and Zhang Shumei looked very similar. If they stood together, people can tell at a glance that they are mother and daughter. When you say that she’s someone else’s daughter, who will believe it?” When Bai Zhenzhu heard those words, her heart sank. She walked to the backyard and looked at her face reflected in the basin. Her face looked very ordinary, just like a typical mountain village girl. Her facial features looked very similar to her mother.

Tears slipped and fell on the originally calm water on the basin. A circle of ripples made her face look deformed… …

As Bai Dazhu expected, two days later, the people from the capital came. He was very happy inside his heart. Today, in their house, aside from the first branch and Bai Zhenzhu, the others went to the town to buy new year’s goods. It will take some time before they come back.

A man came down from the magnificent carriage. The man was wearing a dark blue embroidered bamboo robe and a gray fox fur. He looked very noble and awe-inspiring. He looked at least 35 or 36 years old. His face looked very handsome. Looking at the man’s face, the Bai Family suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. As if they had seen such a face before, but they couldn’t remember it.

“Is this Bai Dazhu and Bai Erzhu’s home?” Pei Qinghan asked.

Bai Dazhu hurriedly came forward. His face was full of flattery.

“Yes, yes, I am Bai Dazhu.”

These kinds of people, who were born with a slave-like attitude, Pei Qinghan has seen plenty of them in his life, but he never put them in his eyes. He took a glance at Bai Dazhu and said in a low voice: “Let’s go in and talk.”

Bai Dazhu led Pei Qinghan inside immediately. There was no decent tea in the house, so he poured him a bowl of hot water.

“Our family is poor, we don’t have good tea. I hope the noble won’t dislike it!”

Pei Qinghan felt strange. The man in front of him spoke with full of respect. He didn’t ask who he is or why he came here. Is he afraid that he is not a noble, but a wicked person who brings misfortune?
