Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 297 Calculation

The New Year is approaching.

Snowflakes fluttered down the river, lightly falling and melting into tiny droplets of water. A thin layer of mist covered the river, and the boats in the distance were barely visible.

The snow on the riverside path was already thick, leaving deep footprints with every step. Nanchun pulled at the hem of Baixun's clothes and walked forward, following in his footsteps.

"Let me carry you on my back, don't get your shoes wet." Bai Xun said, turning around.

Nanchun smiled and said, "Your footprints are bigger than mine, so they won't get your shoes wet."

After walking for a while, Bai Xun stopped, turned around, took off his gloves, and used his warm hands to cover Nanchun's frozen cheeks.

Nanchun looked at him with a smile: "Are you happy?"

Bai Xun was slightly startled.

"I saw that you were depressed these days, so I thought of taking you out to enjoy the scenery. People say that seeing beautiful scenery can make people feel relaxed." Nanchun explained.

Bai Xun hugged him gently: "Yeah, I'm happy."

Nanchun knew why Bai Xun was depressed.

The Fourth Master said that the Eldest Young Master was indeed collaborating with the opium dealer Ge Longjiang. The people Sheng Zexi sent to Yuncheng, including Wei Zhong, were all killed by the Eldest Young Master. Furthermore, Bai Xun had also sent people to Yuncheng to investigate.

I guess Bai Xun should already know this.

"Let's go back to Baijiazhai to celebrate the New Year. I miss my mother." Nanchun said as he looked at the falling snow.

"Okay." Bai Xun replied.

Before returning to Baijiazhai, Bai Xun called Bai Song.

"Brother, please go back to the old house early to celebrate the New Year."

"It's a bit busy here in Cloud City, I'm afraid..."

"I have something to tell you." Bai Xun interrupted him.

Bo Song suppressed his smile, remained silent for a moment, and said, "I understand."

It seems that Xundi already knows.

Bo Song lit a cigarette and smoked in silence.

Even though his grandfather told Xundi not to know about the opium, he still secretly hoped that Xundi would know.

In addition to wanting to see what choice he would make, he also had his own selfish desires that he couldn't say.

They are brothers, and he is the eldest grandson.

But he has to bear the sins of the Bai family and do one dirty thing after another for the Bai family.

He admitted that he did not have the talent to be the head of a family, but he had studied hard for many years and even studied abroad.

He has his own talents and legitimate things to do, instead of doing things like he does now, day after day, year after year, in the dark side, robbing graves, selling funerary objects, trafficking in opium, and taking human lives.

A smoke ring slowly rose and disappeared.

Seeing Xundi, who is always calm and composed and doesn't care about anything, hesitating and struggling for Nanchun, and even starting to resist.

He was thinking, maybe there is another way to live.

When Bai Xun and Nanchun returned to Baijiazhai, it was snowing heavily.

We were supposed to arrive in the morning, but we walked until it was getting dark.

The car first went to the villa, and Ah Fu was busy unloading the New Year gifts.

"It's snowing so heavily, you should stay in the county town for one night before coming back. It's so unsafe on this journey!" said Song Amei.

"The road is a little difficult to walk on, but it's okay." Bai Xun said.

Nanchun smiled and said, "I couldn't wait to see my mother, so I urged Baixun to come back quickly. Don't delay."

Song Amei reached out and pinched his cheek, then said with a smile, "You're such a sweet talker. No matter what, you should still go with Bai Xun to the old house to see the old master and the old lady."

Nanchun nodded and said, "I understand."

When they arrived at the door of the old house, Han Bailing and his men were waiting there.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, you are finally back. The old lady has been asking whether you have arrived since this morning."

"The road was not easy to walk on, so it took some time." Nanchun said with a smile.

"As long as we get there safely," said Han Bailing.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam, the head of the family invites you."

Seeing Nanchun's rosy complexion and good spirits, Baishan thought: Oh no, Bai Yan might not be telling the truth.

When they arrived at the study, Bai Yishui put down the brush in his hand when he saw them coming.

His eyes fell on Nanchun's face. He saw that his face was flushed and he didn't look tired at all after the long journey. He frowned slightly.

"That's how it should be from now on. Come back early to celebrate the New Year. It's etiquette."

Bai Xun replied, "Grandson knows."

"Go see your grandmother. She hasn't been feeling well since winter began," said Bai Yishui.

"Yes."

After the two left, Bai Shan hurriedly knelt in front of Bai Yishui: "The younger brother has always been timid and afraid of things. Maybe he... didn't play enough."

Bai Yishui waved his hand and said, "Get up. Nanchun and Xun'er are inseparable and often stay in Jincheng. I'm afraid that method won't kill him in two or three years."

Bai Shan stood up and asked, "What does the Patriarch mean?"

"Send a telegram to Yang Wude and ask him to come over and tell him that the old lady is sick and needs him to come and see her." Bai Yishui said.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Mrs. Bai was lying on the bed, looking haggard and seriously ill.

Seeing Bai Xun coming, she hurriedly asked the maid to help her up.

"Grandma, how are you?" Bai Xun asked with concern.

Mrs. Bai coughed twice and said, "If you want Grandmother to get better faster, you should let me hold my great-grandson soon."

Nanchun lowered her eyes in embarrassment.

Bai Xun's face darkened. "Grandma, please take good care of me. I have things to do and will come to see you when I'm done."

"Hey, what are you doing..." Old Madam Bai glared angrily at Nanchun, who was standing not far away. "Some people should know their own limits. Occupying a nest but not being able to lay eggs, what's the point of that?"

Bai Xun said in a deep voice, "Grandma, it seems that you don't welcome us to come. I won't come over anymore to trouble you."

After he said that, he took Nanchun away.

Mrs. Bai was so angry that she coughed violently several times and even coughed up blood.

"Oh, go report to the head of the family."

When Bai Yishui heard the report, he hurried to the old lady's courtyard.

"The doctor told you to rest. Xun'er just came back, and you're already angry with him. Mind your own business, talk less, and you can live a few more years!"

Mrs. Bai wept bitterly, "My good grandson seems to be possessed by a demon now. He has even abandoned filial piety for that man's wife."

Bai Yishui sighed heavily and said, "Alright, take a good rest! I've asked Bai Shan to send a telegram to Yang Wude, asking him to come over from Yangcheng to take a look at you."

Mrs. Bai was stunned for a moment and said, "You should have done this a long time ago! You were indecisive and hesitant, and you've been putting it off for two or three years. Now Xun'er and that man's wife are already deeply in love. Aren't you deliberately trying to make him hate you?"

Bai Yishui's face was solemn, it was indeed so.

It should be handled just like how we dealt with the little girl from the Nan family, cleanly and neatly.

It was Bai Xun's affection for Nan Chun and Nan Chenglin's sudden disappearance that disrupted his plans, making him hesitant and delayed until today.

We can’t delay any longer, we must make this trouble go away quickly!
