Chapter 92 Big Sister (8)
Scholars should avoid being blinded by lust.
But she...
She is not only beautiful, but also well-mannered.
What's worse, she rejected him, leaving him unable to have her...
“Young Master Wen, I am truly sorry, but Afu already has someone she loves. If she were to force herself to marry you, it would be a concealment, which would not be fair to you…”
“Young Master Wen, you are very good. It was Afu who didn’t explain things clearly to Auntie. It’s all Afu’s fault…”
"Miss Afu, please don't apologize!"
Wen Yinnian was a scholar with a handsome appearance, and many women secretly admired him.
But he felt nothing for them.
Until someone introduced Bai Ruofu.
The man praised Bai Ruofu's stunning beauty and took a sachet she had made.
They praised her for her fine needlework, saying she was clearly a virtuous woman.
Wen Yinnian didn't notice the stitches, but rather the poem Bai Ruofu had embroidered on the sachet...
"Do not listen to the sound of rain pattering through the trees; why not chant and stroll leisurely?"
Ordinary women embroider their sachets with praises of scenery or the misery of imperial rule, but she embroidered her own fate.
At that moment, he seemed to see how the resilient concubine's daughter forged ahead in the Duke's mansion, even when she was injured, always facing the sun and waiting for her time to bloom.
He really likes Bai Ruofu.
Unfortunately……
He showed up at the wrong time.
“Miss Afu, I will wait for you.”
Bai Ruofu smiled and didn't take his words to heart.
That smile, which held a hint of sadness yet was tender and gentle, captivated him and stayed with him for a lifetime.

The following day, Bai Ruofu went to see the mistress, Liu Ruwan.
Liu Ruwan knew that Liu Yan'er had asked someone to find a husband for Bai Ruofu, but she turned a blind eye to it.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ruofu chose to wait for Bai Yuzhou.
Now, Liu Ruwan is bedridden and has lost the decisive and efficient manner she once was.
The big tree that supported her collapsed with a crash.
This caused her body to gradually deteriorate, and the cold wind could penetrate her every pore.
“Mother…” Bai Ruofu served her medicine.
Liu Ruwan was very cooperative.
This indicates that she has accepted Bai Ruofu.
What Bai Ruofu said next surprised her even more!
Bai Ruofu placed her hand on her slightly protruding belly and asked, "Mother, don't you care about your grandson?"
Liu Ruwan was greatly surprised.
So excited that tears welled up in my eyes, my illness was almost completely cured.
“Yuzhou has an heir… The lineage of the Duke of Ying’s mansion has not been extinguished… Afu, you are a great contributor to the Bai family… Mother was wrong, I shouldn’t have treated you that way before…”
Bai Ruofu felt alright; she hadn't suffered much.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. As long as the Bai family has descendants, even if Bai Yuzhou is truly gone and never to return, they will still have the will to live.
Even if this child cannot exonerate the loyal souls of the Bai family.
As long as he exists, that's enough.
-
But Bai Yuzhou did not disappoint them.
The traitor was just a cover; the dog emperor suffered a complete defeat.
Moreover, during the reign of this corrupt emperor, his oppressive policies were more ferocious than a tiger, leading to the complete loss of popular support.
With the support of the people, he ascended the throne as emperor.
He made no attempt to conceal his experiences from the historians.
He's not a dog emperor; he dares to take responsibility for his actions.
Not long after, Bai Ruofu was made empress, Liu Ruwan was made empress dowager, and Liu Yan'er was made imperial concubine.
Children are the best healers.
They all eagerly awaited the arrival of Bai Ruofu's unborn child, and in this immense joy, they seemed to overlook their own disagreements.
The coronation ceremony was held when Bai Ruofu was four months pregnant.
To avoid tiring her out, the ceremony was kept simple.
Bai Yuzhou felt sorry for Bai Ruofu because of this.
