Chapter 267: One in the light and one in the dark
There was a long silence.
Only then did Bai Yishui calm down.
"What do you think I should do?"
Bai Song raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you just want Xundi to take on the responsibility of the head of the family and revitalize the Bai family?"
"Hmm." Bai Yishui took a sip of tea.
"Xundi's ability is obvious to everyone. He is much smarter than me. He can definitely take on the responsibility of the head of the family and will definitely be able to revitalize the Bai family. You can rest assured!" Bai Song said with a smile.
Bai Yishui raised his chin to signal him to continue.
"What Xundi wants now is Nanchun. It's worth it to exchange Nanchun for another hundred years of prosperity for the Bai family!" Bai Song said with a smile.
Bai Yishui glanced at him sideways: "Don't talk nonsense! How can the head of the Bai family live with a male wife? Let alone the issue of face, what about the offspring? Not to mention you! The main branch of the Bai family has few offspring! Neither of you can escape!"
"There has to be a hierarchy of priorities, right? Even if you want great-grandchildren, it's impossible to have them right away. The most important thing now is to stabilize Xundi. If he gets into a dead end with his temper, you won't have such a good grandson." Bo Song said helplessly.
Bai Yishui's face was gloomy.
Bai Song said, "I understand your difficulties, but Xundi doesn't know! He is young and inexperienced. From childhood to university, he has been taught about propriety, righteousness, integrity, benevolence, justice and morality. If you want him to understand these things, he must experience them himself."
As for Old Man Nan, if he were still alive and knew you had killed Nanchun and his mother, it would be difficult for you to see the Underground Palace in your lifetime. Furthermore, Xundi loves Nanchun so much now. If you kill her, given his temper, he would probably follow Nanchun.
Bai Yishui looked solemn. If he hadn't been concerned about Bai Xun, he would have wanted to have someone kill Nanchun right now.
Bo Song continued, "Grandfather, our trading of burial artifacts has come to a standstill due to the struggle within the Underground Celestial Palace and the infiltration of traitors. I don't even dare to sell the genuine artifacts I have."
"Xundi will definitely investigate Old Man Nan's whereabouts after he takes over. He's smart and perceptive, and Nanchun trusts him deeply. If Nanchun knew the truth, she would definitely lend him a hand. As long as we find Old Man Nan, wouldn't the matter of the Underground Palace and our funerary artifact business be solved?"
Bai Yishui frowned. "It's easy for you to say that. What if he acts arbitrarily and does something that harms the interests of the Bai family for Nanchun?"
Bai Song smiled. "Don't we still have Yuncheng's business? And me too? You asked me to transfer those businesses to Yuncheng, isn't it because you wanted to have a backup plan? Just like you said back then, Xundi is in the open, and I am in the dark. Clean money is money, dirty money is also money, and it can be spent the same way.
Anyway, the underground palace and the funerary artifact trade have reached a dead end. Why not give it a try, as Xundi said, and give him the responsibility and let him give it a try? Once he becomes the head of the family, he will understand the weight of the burden and will understand your good intentions.
After hearing this, Bai Yishui hesitated.
Since Bai Xun can say that he wants to die with Nanchun, he will put Nanchun first no matter what happens in the future.
How could the head of the Bai family be influenced by a male wife with ulterior motives?
Seeing his hesitation, Bo Song said, "How about this? Pretend to be sick. This way, Xundi can take over the responsibilities of the head of the family temporarily. If you are not satisfied with his approach, you can recover from your illness and then take back the power of the head of the family."
If you are satisfied with his approach, then this is a good opportunity to hand over the heavy responsibility of the head of the family to him. Xundi is kind-hearted and filial. Since you are sick, he will miss you and can be closer to you. This method can achieve multiple goals at once and can be used for both advancement and retreat."
"Yes, master of the family, you can give the eldest young master's method a try. Otherwise, you and the second young master will remain in this stalemate, and the second young master will only move further away from you." Bai Shan said.
Although it is a dirty trick, it is indeed an effective one.
After Bai Song left, Bai Yishui's expression eased a little.
"Master, what the eldest young master said makes a lot of sense. The second young master is the type who only responds to soft words and not to hard ones. He is stubborn, and you are stubborn too. How can we let this matter remain deadlocked? If you are worried that Nanchun will get in the way, just do as you said before and take it slow. Wait two or three years, and he will be dying. The second young master may have already regarded the responsibility of the master of the family as more important than Nanchun's life." Bai Shan consoled him.
Bai Yishui nodded and said, "Xun'er is very perceptive. We should take this step by step. I'm afraid we have to use the most reliable method."
"Little understands."
Bai Xun sat motionless in the car for a long time.
If you stay like this any longer, you'll freeze to death.
"Second Young Master, it's almost noon, and the Second Young Madam is waiting for you at home for dinner." Ah Fu said.
Bai Xun seemed not to hear it.
Ah Fu had no choice but to get out of the car and jog back to the villa.
Seeing Nanchun, Ah Fu said anxiously, "Second Young Madam, please come with me!"
"What's wrong? Where's Bai Xun?" Nan Chun's heart skipped a beat when she saw him so anxious.
"The second young master asked me to park the car on the side of the road. He sat in the car for a long time without moving. I talked to him, but he ignored me. It's so cold, what if he gets frozen?" Ah Fu said anxiously.
"Did he have an argument with the head of the family in the old house?" Nanchun stood up, put on his coat and walked out.
"That should be it. I heard the master of the family throw something and tell the second young master to get out. The master of the family has never been so angry with the second young master." Ah Fu said as he walked.
Nanchun felt bitter.
I'm afraid...it's still for him.
When they arrived at the place, Nanchun opened the car door and got in. He took Bai Xun's cold hand and held it in his arms.
"It's freezing and snowy, and you're sulking here alone?"
Bai Xun looked at him, his eyes full of sadness.
It took a lot of effort to get the person in front of me, and it took a lot of effort to make him trust him and rely on him.
now……
How could he bear to let go?
Nanchun sighed softly and leaned over to hug him.
"No matter what happens, shouldn't we just face it and solve it? Perhaps... you and I aren't strong enough. Even if it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot or a mayfly trying to shake a tree, there's always something you and I can do. As long as we do our best, we can face it all with a clear conscience and calmness."
These were taught to him by Miss Wei Er.
Miss Wei Er did not die in vain, she changed many things.
She gave justice to the man who died tragically, frightened the bandits who bullied others too much, and gave some people faith.
Bai Xun hugged him back tightly.
At this moment, Nanchun was not only the person he loved deeply, but also the person who held him tightly when he fell into the abyss.
After returning to the villa, Bai Xun followed Nanchun closely.
At first Nanchun found it very interesting.
He had never seen Bai Xun like this before. He was like an insecure child.
Then I had a bit of a headache.
"Why are you following me when I go to the toilet?" Nanchun said with a frown.
Bai Xun acted like he was hurt again.
Nanchun looked up at the sky in silence.
What the hell is this!
