Chapter 309 Nanchun leaves Baijiazhai
Song Amei touched Nanchun's red and swollen eyes with heartache.
"When a couple lives together, arguments are inevitable. They fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. Only by understanding and forgiving each other can the relationship last forever. If you can't let go of your pride and tell Bai Xun, I'll go talk to him."
Nanchun shook her head and said with a wry smile, "Mother, the relationship between him and me can't be explained in a few words. To be honest, I never thought I could be with him until the end. Between two men... what's the point of saying forever? And..."
Seeing him hesitate, Song Amei hurriedly said, "Is there anything else you can't tell your mother?"
Nanchun lowered his voice and said, "Grandpa went out to search for the tomb for so long without any news. The head of the family and the others thought that Grandpa had accidentally disappeared while searching for the tomb. But that's not the case. Grandpa didn't want to help the Bai family with their tomb robbing business, so he deliberately hid his whereabouts in the tomb. He has already taken refuge with the Fourth Master of the Sheng family."
Song Amei was not very surprised. Although she didn't ask many questions on weekdays, they were family after all, and she could notice some things.
"No wonder I always feel like someone is following me when I go out." Song Amei said.
"It must be the head of the family's men. He has long suspected that grandpa had betrayed him, so he has been guarding against us." Nanchun said.
Nanchun didn't plan to tell Song Amei the cause of Nan Yue's death. He didn't want to make her sad.
Every time Butler Bai sent her the best supplements and medicinal herbs, she would express her gratitude to the head of the family and the butler profusely.
She couldn't bear to taste those things and left them all to Nanyue.
If she knew that those were harmful things, how could she bear it?
Song Amei looked at him: "What are your plans?"
Nanchun frowned slightly, the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, and her eyes wandered.
Song Amei knew that he was still thinking about Bai Xun, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Did Bai Xun suddenly become distant from you because he knew that you and your grandfather had alienated the Bai family and were cooperating with outsiders?"
Nanchun didn't say anything.
Besides this, there is something more important...
My sister's death.
Moreover, he is not Bai Xun's destined person.
What qualifications does he have to be the wife of the second young master of the Bai family?
After a long silence, Nanchun said, "Mother, let's go and find Grandpa. We've been apart for so long, it's time to reunite as a family."
Song Amei held his hand and said distressedly, "My child, you have suffered."
Nanchun asked Ah Fu to pass a message to Bai Xun, saying that he agreed with Bai Xun's proposal and asked him to make arrangements and notify him later.
Bai Xun picked up the wine glass, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing his dim eyes, devoid of any luster, Ah Fu anxiously said, "Master, you clearly care deeply about the Second Young Mistress, so why are you distancing yourself from her?"
Bai Xun didn't say anything. After a while, he stood up and wrote a letter.
"Send the letter to the county town and give it to the authorities."
Ah Fu took the letter and left angrily.
For two consecutive days, Bai Xun stayed in Jingyuan and did not return to the villa.
Bai Yishui and Mrs. Bai were very satisfied.
Today is New Year's Eve, and it's time to invite Nanchun and his mother to the old house for dinner.
"In my opinion, we'd better not call them over. Xun'er has finally gotten her heart back from him. What if that vixen uses some tricks to win Xun'er's heart away again when they meet?" Old Madam Bai said worriedly.
Bai Yishui thought for a moment and said, "If Xun'er doesn't mention it, then don't bother inviting them. If Xun'er does, then when you go to invite them, Baishan, just find a way to make them unwilling to come. After all, they made their own choice, and it's not us being unreasonable and trying to stop them."
"I understand." Bai Shan said with a smile.
The old house was decorated with lanterns inside and out, with bright red spring couplets on the gate and red lanterns hanging from the lintel. In the courtyard, various flowers and bonsai were placed, and a stage was set up, creating a festive and peaceful scene.
Until the banquet started, Bai Xun did not mention going to the other courtyard to invite Nanchun and his mother to reunite at the old house. This made Bai Yishui and Mrs. Bai feel relieved.
"Let's have a couple of drinks as a family today." Mrs. Bai said with a smile, raising her glass.
"Grandma, you should drink tea instead of wine." Bo Song said with concern.
"It's okay to drink less. Grandma is really happy today. It would feel inappropriate if I don't have a drink." Mrs. Bai said with a smile.
"Just one cup, no more." Han Bailing advised.
"Okay, okay, I'll do as you say." Mrs. Bai said with a smile.
The old house is bustling with activity and full of joy.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention Nanchun.
Other courtyard.
There was no New Year atmosphere in the villa, not even Spring Festival couplets or window decorations were posted.
Nanchun stood in the yard, snowflakes falling on his shoulders.
"After we say goodbye today, I don't know when we will meet again. Your relatives are all in He'an, so why would you go to a distant place with me? Just stay in the other courtyard. With Bai Xun here, no one will make things difficult for you."
"Second Young Madam..." Jasmine cried sadly.
"Second Young Madam, I'm willing to go with you..." Pakho said anxiously.
"Your family is all in Baijiazhai, and Bai Xun values you very much. You should stay with him and you will have a bright future." Nanchun said with a smile.
Suddenly there was a sound of fighting outside.
Pakho, Erniu and the others hurriedly took out their weapons and protected Nanchun and the others behind them.
Someone climbed over the wall and opened the door, and several masked men walked in.
"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Pakho shouted angrily.
"Nanchun, let's go!" shouted the leader.
Nanchun recognized the voice as Manager Cheng's.
"It's okay, they're here to pick me up."
"Second Young Madam, you must be careful!"
"Yes, we really can't bear to part with you."
Nanchun's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "See you again if we're lucky!"
After getting on the carriage, the group left quickly.
Manager Cheng took off the cloth covering his face and said, "No one has caught up yet. Master Bai probably hasn't received the news yet. Don't worry, as long as we leave Baijiazhai, we will be safe. The Fourth Master and his men are waiting outside the city."
Nanchun was a little surprised: "Fourth Master is here too? How did you know I was leaving Baijiazhai?"
Manager Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "It was Second Young Master Bai who sent a telegram to inform us. We had just arrived in He'an County this morning and stayed at the inn when two people came to our door. They claimed to be Second Young Master Bai's confidants and brought a secret letter from him. I read the letter and ordered everyone to act according to Second Young Master Bai's plan."
Nanchun lowered her eyes.
Bai Xun has always been thorough in his work.
It's really hard to hate him.
Several horses and carriages rolled over the snow, making a squeaking sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.
Horses and carriages passed by, leaving a trail of hoof prints and wheel tracks on the snowy ground. But they were soon covered by newly fallen snow, as if nothing had happened, leaving only this silver-clad, silent world.
