"Let's all come in." Bai Jinhang walked into the dining room first, followed closely by Bai Xi and others. Soon, the servants put the prepared meals on the table one by one.
There are five people per table. Apart from the usual banquets, this is a relatively complete dinner party.
Bai Jinhang, Zhang Shuyi, Bai Yujie, and Yao Xinya who had just entered the house, plus Bai Xi who rarely appeared to dine with them, the whole dining room not only occasionally made the sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks, but also the sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks. There were no sounds of eating or talking. This dinner was quite quiet.
After the meal, the five of them were almost silent. No, I should say not at all. This is one of the reasons why Bai Xi doesn't like eating as a family. If it hadn't happened today and she had something to say, I'm afraid... She won't agree to have dinner together.
It wasn't until after the meal, when Bai Jinhang was about to leave, that Bai Xi slowly said, "Dad."
"kindness?"
"My daughter has something she wants to tell her father."
Bai Jinhang was startled. This seemed to be the first time he heard Xi'er call herself this way, "Okay."
Bai Xi then left with Bai Jinhang. Bai Yujie watched the figure walking away motionlessly, wondering what on earth Xi'er would tell his father? He didn't even listen to what Zhang Shuyi said to him.
On the other side, after Bai Xi followed Bai Jinhang to the study, the latter turned around and asked softly, "Xier, what do you want to say to dad?"
"Dad, I want to go to Qingcheng." This was what she decided on the way back from the palace.
"No." Bai Jinhang objected immediately. No wonder Xi'er didn't want to talk about it in the dining room, that's why.
"Dad, I've decided." This was a decision, not a discussion. She just wanted to tell her father, not ask for permission.
"I already said, no."
"Dad, I just want to find Cousin Chen." She wanted to find Murong Qingchen, but it was definitely not to play with him, but to confirm something.
"That won't work either." Bai Jinhang didn't give Bai Xi any chance to discuss.
"Dad, even if you don't agree, I'm going to go. I'm just telling dad, not asking him to agree." Did she have to say it so straightforwardly? "Dad, my daughter doesn't want to make her father angry, but she will go to Qingcheng and his party no matter what." After saying this, Bai Xi had already turned around and left.
"Xi'er... come back..." Unfortunately, Bai Xi had already used Qinggong to return to Xiyuan, and his shout could not be heard at all.
Bai Jinhang paced back and forth in the study room, seeming to be thinking about something. After half a cup of tea, he left and walked towards Mo Xuanyuan.
After Bai Xi returned to Xiyuan, she did not stay, but rushed directly to Moxuanyuan with a small butterfly flower pot. Mu Qiu looked at the young lady who appeared like the wind and left like the wind in a daze, thinking to herself Miss, what's going on
Bai Xi had just arrived at Mo Xuanyuan, and Bai Jinhang had just left, but the two of them had not met.
"Old man, are you waiting for me?" As soon as Bai Xi stepped across the threshold, he saw Bai Chongyuan sitting in the main hall.
"Girl, you only come to my place if you have something to do."
"I'm not afraid that you think I'm an eyesore, I'm just doing it for your eyesight." Bai Xi sat down directly, and the potted flowers she brought had been handed over to Uncle Bai Shi before she came in.
"Tell me, why did you suddenly decide to go to Qingcheng this time?" Bai Chongyuan changed his previous playful expression and became a little more serious.
"Did dad tell you?" This speed is really fast, but also, dad's yard is close to here. But that’s fine, there’s no need to say it again.
"Girl, do you plan to go alone?" When he first heard the news, his reaction was naturally the same as Bai Jinhang's, but if he thought about it carefully, he felt that the girl's sudden decision to go to Qingcheng must have her own purpose, but this purpose would be What
"Old man, you already know that the sealed inner force in my body has been released, so you can rest assured about safety." She knew the reason why her father wouldn't let her go out, but if she wanted to know the answer, she had to take this trip. Moreover, she...
"Actually, I'm here for something else."
"You want to know why the internal energy in your body is sealed?"
"No." This was not the main purpose of her coming here.
"Is that where the four books I burned last time came from?"
"No."
“…”
"Old man, I accidentally overheard the conversation between my father and my brother." Bai Xi stared at Bai Chongyuan without blinking, trying to see his reaction. Sure enough, when the latter heard what she said, his eyes quickly turned.
"Actually, there's one thing I don't quite understand." In fact, of course she wanted to know what the old man just asked, but what she wanted to know most was the other one. As long as she opened that secret, she would naturally know the other ones.
But if she wants to know the real answer, there's only one way, and that's...
"What exactly did your father and your brother say?" Bai Chongyuan asked cautiously.
"Old man, my brother said that I am not daddy's biological daughter, let alone his sister." Bai Xi also said cautiously, and asked tentatively at the same time.
"Nonsense." Bai Chongyuan shouted urgently, "Girl, you are my granddaughter, Bai Chongyuan, and a descendant of my Bai family. You have the blood of my Bai family flowing through your body."
Bai Xi was not surprised by Bai Chongyuan's reaction, and she didn't believe him. If she didn't have evidence, she wouldn't take the initiative to reveal this secret.
"Old man, why do I have to wear such a mask on my face?" After saying this, Bai Xi had already torn off the thin mask on her face, revealing the alluring face underneath, "Old man, can you Don’t say you don’t know, besides, you should be familiar with this face.”
Bai Chongyuan was stunned, his pupils suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of surprise, "You..."
At the same time, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from outside the house, and a voice came from Bai Shi who had been waiting at the door, "Young Master, Young Master Feng."
Mr. Feng? Feng Ming? Bai Xi stiffened, why is he here? And at this time
Feng Ming? Why did he come to Mo Xuanyuan? And it appeared so coincidental? No, if he discovers her identity as Yuehua, she will be miserable. She has to leave here immediately.
With a cough, Bai Xi stood up suddenly, but it was too late for her to leave now, because the two figures were almost at the door. Suddenly, Bai Xi's eyes saw the two pots placed in the hall. While bonsai, her eyes lit up and she knew what to do.
Bai Chongyuan had not recovered from the shock just now, and he did not notice even Bai Yujie and Feng Ming entered the house.
"Xi'er, you...what's wrong with your face?" Bai Yujie looked at Bai Xi in surprise. He saw Bai Xi holding a bonsai. More importantly, her face was covered with mud. It was difficult to tell who this person was. Bai Xi.
