The Dishonest Son and The ‘Ghost’ Doctor Mother

Chapter 1229: Absent from duty

Views:

Bai Liuyi's study room is not very big, but it is full of books.

Nian Nian quietly turned in from outside the window, and the smell of books drifted past her nose.

Books were still very expensive in this era, but the white sulfur books could almost fill the entire study room, which really surprised her.

She thought that if Beibei was here, he would definitely like it very much, and he would probably just dive in and not have to come out.

Nian Nian glanced at the rows of bookshelves, and most of the books he opened with his tentacles were a bit old but well-protected. No wonder Bai Sulfur also dared to challenge the Baiguan Education Examination, he was not lacking in quality.

Nian Nian curled her lips, raised her eyes and looked around the study room, and finally her eyes fell on the desk not far away. She pursed her lips and moved closer, pulling out the drawer.

There were some yellowed papers inside, covered with writing. The handwriting is still a little immature, and judging from the comparison, it should be white sulfur.

Niannian simply sat on the chair and looked over one by one. From "Three Character Classic" to "National Policy Theory", the writing style also gradually changed from immature to mature, sharp, and then restrained.

There are also some words written by him himself, and there is even a page about military strategy and industrial and economic development.

The more I read, the more unbelievable I became. This Bai Sulfur is really full of knowledge and involves a wide range of knowledge. The books I have read and the ways to apply what I have learned are really dazzling. It's almost impossible to look straight at how many things can be recorded in a person's mind.

Ah, no, Beibei is quite capable.

Nian Nian pursed her lips and opened another drawer. There were also many books there, as well as the paintings he made and the annotations on the books.

A whole drawer full of stuff.

Nian Nian stared at it intently and couldn't stop at all.

She seemed to have seen Bai Suyi's life trajectory from childhood to adulthood, as if she knew what books he read at what stage, and what things he understood at what stage, as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes.

Time passed little by little, and Nian Nian had long forgotten the time outside. It was not until her stomach growled that she suddenly raised her head.

Only then did I realize that the sun was setting outside and it was already evening.

She was still a little dazed, and the next moment, she suddenly stood up.

The movement was too big and alerted the people guarding outside the study.

"what sound?"

Nian Nian hurriedly and quietly flashed to the window edge, and when the people outside opened the window, she flashed out.

It wasn't until she ran back to Jinfeng Garden that she cursed in frustration.

How could she forget that she was a maid now? If you didn't show up all day, wouldn't that arouse suspicion

She gritted her teeth and hurriedly walked towards the main room.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Ding Xiang looking at her with a sneer, "Miss Yuxi is really elusive. She hasn't been seen all day. Those who know, understand that you are lazy, and those who don't know, they thought you were doing it." The thief is gone."

"Miss Dingxiang, you really understand me." Nian Nian smiled at her. She felt that Dingxiang really had the ability to see through people's hearts.

What she said was true. Wasn't she just thinking about being lazy and being a thief

Ding Xiang gritted her teeth, "You, I'm going to tell the eldest young master."

Nian Nianli ignored her, turned around and walked inside.

She didn't believe that Ding Xiang would wait until now when she was not in Jinfeng Garden for such a long time, and she still hadn't gone to Bai Sui to complain.

It would probably be useless to file a complaint, so I waited for her at the door, waiting for the opportunity to make sarcastic comments and threats.

Nian Nian passed her and walked directly into the house.

As expected, Ding Xiang didn't dare to follow her in, so she could only stare at her angrily from outside, wishing to rip off a layer of skin from her body.

Bai Sulfur in the room was still closing his eyes and concentrating, and Awen was standing aside.

Seeing Nian Nian, Awen frowned slightly, then quickly regained his composure, and nodded to her very friendly.

The eldest young master said that Miss Yuxi's status is different from that of ordinary maids, and her attitude should be more respectful and polite.

It's just that he was so polite, it made Nian Nian feel creepy. This sudden change in Awen's attitude could mean something good has happened, right

Could it be that Bai Sulfur was very dissatisfied with her for leaving her post without permission, so something bad was waiting for her

When she thought of this, she pursed her lips and walked a little softer.

Bai Sulfur also felt her approach and felt inexplicably better. He closed his eyes and spoke slowly, "Awen, you go out first."

"Yes." Awen responded respectfully, nodded to Nian Nian, and then turned and left.

Nian Nian's heart skipped a beat, was she really going to settle a score

She pursed her lips and walked to the edge of the bed. When she saw Bai Sui opened his mouth and wanted to speak, she narrowed her eyes and immediately took the initiative and said, "I see that you always have guests, and it's not convenient for me to be here." I was waiting on you, so I rested for a while. But I wasn't lazy, really... I thought that you would take the Baiguan Education Examination tomorrow, and you were injured, so I went straight away without stopping before I sat down to drink tea. I'm looking for herbs that can help you get better as soon as possible. But you also know that I can't just go out of the Duke's mansion, so I can only look for it in the mansion. I went to the flower room, there are witnesses."

She was not worried at all when Mo Piao was in the flower room.

"You also know that some flowers can be used as medicine. Although I know a little bit about medical skills, as your maid, I always have to be of some use, right? After all, your Baiguan Education Examination tomorrow is very important. There can’t be any mistakes.”

The curvature of the corners of Bai Suiyi's mouth became wider and wider. She was really... talking nonsense seriously, and her expression was so sincere, like a little fox.

"Well, I know your kindness."

Nian Nian breathed out secretly, "So you can rest assured that I will help you hold on until the end of the teaching exam tomorrow."

Bai Sulfur also smiled very softly, and his eyes fell on her body, almost making water drop.

"I believe."

"Then... you don't blame me for leaving my post without permission?"

"nature."

"Then... am I qualified as a maid?" When asked this, Nian Nian felt very guilty. She felt so shameless. How could a maid who didn't serve her master all day and went to look into his study be qualified?

"A maid who thinks about her master's physical future and is of the same mind as her master is naturally qualified."

"..." How embarrassed she was to give her such a high evaluation. "Then...can I go to dinner now?"

"Are you hungry?" Where did she go? He actually allowed himself to come back hungry.

Nian Nian silently rubbed his flat belly, "Yes."

"Then go and eat. Come back when you're done. I have something to tell you."
