"Yes, I hope mother-in-law can keep it a secret for me. I don't want anyone to know."
Bai Chen looked very helpless, and his eyes seemed to be full of trust in Zhou.
"Don't worry, I won't tell." Zhou combed Bai Chen's hair lovingly, with a little more sincerity in her heart.
Poor child, she is so beautiful and must have good talents, but she was harmed by her stepmother.
"Then how come later, I heard that you can practice?"
"Later, I don't know what happened next. I was never willing to be a waste, so I never gave up on cultivation.
One day, I was suddenly able to practice, which made my grandfather very happy.
Unfortunately, the good times didn’t last long. After only a month, I couldn’t practice anymore. I don’t know why.”
There was no sign of lying in the way Bai Chen spoke. In Zhou's opinion, what she said must be true.
A child who is only fourteen years old can practice sometimes and cannot practice sometimes. She must have no idea how to solve this problem.
"Is that so? Then let's ask a better doctor to take a look some other day."
Zhou kindly took Bai Chen's little hand and stuffed something into her hand.
I guess she was apologizing for her son's behavior today.
Bai Chen was of course very happy to get something, but he still looked up with a look of surprise.
"Mother-in-law, that's impossible. You've already given me a gift."
"This is a gift from my mother-in-law. I'm giving it to you. Just keep it."
Zhou's kindness became more and more sincere.
Maybe this child can be cured! Maybe the person my son married is not a loser.
"Thank you, grandma." Bai Chen had no choice but to retract his hand and hold a lump of stone that looked like a spirit stone in his palm.
This stone is called energy crystal and contains great energy.
Energy crystals are divided into four grades: upper, middle and lower. The one that Zhou gave to Bai Chen now is a very valuable top-grade energy crystal.
Why did she give herself such an important thing? Maybe she saw her own value.
"Okay, you go back. Don't get tired. Take the bus back." Zhou stood up with satisfaction, holding Bai Chen's little hand, and walked out of the tea room.
They looked like a mother and daughter, and the servants waiting outside the door all looked very surprised.
Everyone knows that the person the Cui family married was just a good-for-nothing.
The only mission of this good-for-nothing is to quickly give birth to a son for the Cui family.
Last night, everyone was worried about the safety of the bride, but the lady didn't even go over to take a look and just let it go.
It seems to all depend on her luck.
But at this moment, the lady seems to like this daughter-in-law very much, which is really hard to understand.
On the way back, Bai Chen enjoyed a rickshaw ride. He did not move and just admired the scenery along the way.
Because the Cui family's territory is so large, important figures of the Cui family who don't like walking or flying directly can take this kind of rickshaw.
Unfortunately, the technology in this world is relatively backward and there are no flying vehicles.
For long-distance travel, people use horse-drawn carriages, which is similar to ordinary ancient planes.
The only thing that is more powerful than ordinary ancient planes is that the warriors here, after advancing to a high level, can also fly in the sky.
A Xuanming strong man can fly in the sky for a while, which is a little bit better than Qinggong.
A powerful Xuanhuang can be completely unaffected by gravity and can fly in the sky for a long time.
But flying in the sky consumes a lot of the body's internal energy.
So, generally speaking, they are not willing to fly in the sky.
Except for escaping.
The maids and servants of the Cui family all looked at Bai Chen in the car with envy and surprise.
Because this kind of luxury car is not something that ordinary people can ride in. Only the mistress and the head of the family can ride in it.
But Bai Chen didn't know! He didn't know that the Cui family had such a rule.
The old women and maids didn't have much respect for her at first, but when they saw that she was actually valued by the lady, they immediately changed their expressions to respectful ones.
Although I am a loser, I can win the favor of the mistress of the house!
These servants were the ones who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak. Seeing that the young lady had been recognized by the mistress of the house, they naturally became respectful to her.
After Bai Chen returned to the Chrysanthemum Garden, he took out the energy crystal given by Zhou and looked at it for a while. His road to wealth was unstoppable. After he left the Zhou family, he must earn more energy crystals.
There are also alchemists in this world, and here, alchemy is also a money-making industry.
But alchemy is a profession that cannot be learned just by saying it; one must have a master.
That’s all for later.
In the evening, a knock on the door woke Bai Chen up from his practice.
"Madam, the eldest young master is here." The voice outside the door came from Lan Fang, but the person knocking on the door was definitely not her.
Who could be the one knocking so rudely, making the door bang loudly? Of course, it was the crippled tyrant Cui Mingyan.
Lan Fang outside the door said tremblingly, "Master, maybe, maybe the young mistress is asleep. You, you should come back another day."
"Go to hell." Cui Mingyan outside the door roared, followed by a crisp sound.
"Ah!" Lan Fang screamed.
It seemed like that beast had been violent towards the maid again.
Damn it, you bastard, you always hit women at every turn. I’m really going to lose my temper.
Bai Chen became furious when he heard this and jumped out of bed, but he did not open the door. Instead, he was thinking about how to deal with him.
Poor Lan Fang finally witnessed her brother-in-law's violent temper. Although it hurt a lot when she was beaten, she did not cry out, but quickly retreated to a distance.
She felt that compared with those maids who were beaten to death, her fate was relatively light.
The knocking on the door turned into a banging sound, and it became louder and louder, shaking the whole house.
He could have used his cultivation to attack, but the destructive power would be too great, so it would be safer to just collide with it.
Although he became very violent after becoming disabled, he still had some rationality.
Tonight, he came to seek revenge. If he caught her and broke one of her legs, that would be the lightest punishment.
Bai Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and waited until he was almost ready to bang on the door before suddenly opening it.
"Bitch." Cui Mingyan's curses mixed with the sound of the wind, blowing towards him and rushing straight into the inner room a few meters away.
Because he had difficulty walking, and due to inertia, he fell to the ground and peed himself.
"Ah! You are looking for death."
He had over-exercised while chasing Bai Chen, and he hasn't recovered yet
However, he fell again and the pain was so severe that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He felt a little regretful now, thinking that he should have gotten his health back before coming back.
But he couldn't afford to lose that humiliation!
The words "dead cripple" kept lingering in his mind and could not be shaken off.
If he didn't break her legs, it would become a demon in his heart, so he came here again for some unknown reason.
He thought that in such a small space, he would definitely be able to catch her and break her legs.
Cui Mingyan lay on the ground in pain, unable to get up, and Bai Chen pretended to be shocked.
"Hey, sir, what's wrong with you
Could it be that you have a change of heart, feel that you were wrong, and want to apologize to me
Wouldn't it be a bit too solemn to use a prostration ceremony?"
Cui Mingyan could only grit his teeth and say: "... You'd better not fall into my hands."
