Chapter 162 Past Events
White House.
It was already dark when Tang Wanru and Bai Yanli returned to the Bai family.
As soon as the two men entered the door, they saw that the lights in the front hall were bright. Shang and Ye Qinghe were standing outside the hall waiting for them.
Bai Yanli ordered the coachman to park the carriage, and he and Tang Wanru walked into the mansion.
"Ruru, you're back." Shang said, and ordered the servants to bring out the food that had already been prepared in the kitchen but not eaten yet.
At the same time, he called Bai Ge and Bai Songrong out for dinner.
"Is mother waiting for us to eat?" Tang Wanru asked.
"Yes. The kitchen has a new chef today and he has made some fancy dishes. We are waiting for you to come back and eat together." Shang said.
Tang Wanru took a look and was stunned. A simple dinner had chicken, duck, fish and meat. It was simply dazzling.
She suddenly remembered the pastries that Bai Yanli brought her in the carriage.
I remembered Lin's words again.
She thought to herself, could she be the only one who didn't know that she might be pregnant?
Otherwise, what are they doing?
"Ru'er." Ye Qinghe also called Tang Wanru aside. She saw a variety of cakes on the table next to her. Ye Qinghe said, "These are all Jiangnan cakes. Try them all and choose which one you like best. I'll make them for you every day."
Tang Wanru: ...
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ye Qinghe knew that she always liked to eat these, and said, "If you like them all, I can make them for you every day."
Tang Wanru thought that if she was fed like this, she wouldn’t even know if she was pregnant or not, and she would become as fat as a pig.
Tang Wanru could only look at Bai Yanli for help.
Seeing that she was surrounded by love, Bai Yanli just smiled and said nothing.
The family sat down to eat, and Shang looked at Wanru with heartache.
She really didn't expect that happiness would come so suddenly.
Before, she was worried about whether the two of them had performed the Zhougong ceremony, but she didn't expect Tang Wanru to react so quickly.
But she knew that eating a lot was just a sign and might not be the truth. She was afraid that telling her would put pressure on her, so she kept it to herself.
Just ask Bai Yanli to care more about Tang Wanru.
Seeing Tang Wanru sitting down, Shang gave Bai Ge a look, and Bai Ge said, "Wanru, eat more, these are all your favorites."
"Okay, I understand, father." Tang Wanru nodded.
"By the way, Wanru." Shang said, "Is my mother-in-law okay?"
"Thank you for your concern, mother. My mother is fine." Tang Wanru replied.
Bai Yanli said: "Before leaving, my mother-in-law asked me to take good care of Wanru."
"Oh." Shang nodded seriously, guessing that Lin must have seen through the clues, so she said, "Then you should make it clear to your mother-in-law that the Bai family will take good care of Wanru."
"Don't worry, mom. I told you."
Shang nodded: "That's good."
Bai Ge ate his meal and said again: "Song Rong."
Bai Songrong quickly put down his chopsticks and agreed: "Yes, father."
"Let Yanli stay at home and accompany Wanru more these days, and you should take care of the shop's affairs."
"Yes, father."
The family was having a happy meal. At this time, Bai Ge suddenly saw a man in black standing in the yard.
Bai Ge was stunned. How did this person get in?
He stood up subconsciously.
"You are……?"
The man said nothing, but took off the cloak hood covering his head, revealing his face.
At the same time, the two men in black behind him gradually appeared.
After seeing the man's face clearly, Bai Ge's hand paused and his chopsticks almost fell to the ground.
The person who came turned out to be Emperor Zhou!
*
It's getting darker.
It started to rain outside.
In the study room of Bai's house, Emperor Zhou walked in with Li Bo and took off his black hooded raincoat.
Li Bo arranged for Emperor Zhou to sit down, and he carefully patted the rain off his trouser legs.
Outside the window, the rain was getting heavier.
Bai Ge followed him in but didn't dare to speak. He didn't know what Emperor Zhou was doing here, but it was Emperor Zhou who spoke first: "Bai Ge, long time no see."
After hearing this, Bai Ge realized that he had not saluted, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
Emperor Zhou did not let him stand up. He just leaned back in his chair and said expressionlessly, "Bai Ge, you have raised a good son."
son?
Bai Ge's body trembled. He naturally knew what the emperor meant. He was talking about Bai Yanli, but he was not his son. He was the son of Emperor Zhou!
At this moment, a loud thunder was heard outside.
It brought Bai Ge’s thoughts back to many years ago.
It was raining that night too.
Bai Ge passed the imperial examination and ranked third that year. He was called into the palace to wait for the final palace examination. But the emperor was busy that day. The three people waiting to take the palace examination waited from early morning to evening but were not called in.
Bai Ge and the others were feeling impatient and in a hurry, so they came out of the room and went to the toilet.
It was a gloomy day outside and it was drizzling.
Bai Ge asked the head eunuch for the place and soon came back from using the toilet, but suddenly a palace maid bumped into his arms.
He was knocked to the side, and the palace maid fell directly to the ground.
He was wondering why this person was running in the middle of the night, but when he looked up, he saw that he had bumped into two people.
The palace maid was accompanied by a child of about five or six years old.
The child had a pair of black eyes and was very handsome. He was staring at him with his eyes wide open.
"You, why are you running?" He was taking part in the palace examination today, and he was wearing a brand new dragon robe. But after falling like that, the robe fell into the mud and got dirty.
The senior maid didn't have time to say anything more. She pulled the child over and said, "Sir, sir, please help me. Please take the child out of the palace. Go as far as you can and never come back. Please, save him."
grown ups?
He has no talent at all, how can he be called an adult?
"What sir? I'm not a sir." Bai Ge waved his hands, trying to pry the senior palace maid's hand away from his arm. Her hand was pried away, but he was shocked to find that his sleeve was black. He wiped it with his other hand and it was blood!
He took a step back in shock and took a closer look, only to see that the maid was covering her stomach with her other hand, from which blood was gushing out.
