Chapter 542 The second brother is indeed an official material

Exclamations came from the yard: "It's Ruozhu who's back. I'll open the door!"

Bai Ruozhu heard Fang Guizhi's voice and couldn't help laughing. Then she heard a series of footsteps and Fang Guizhi rushed over and opened the door.

"Wow, Ruozhu, you're back. Did you encounter any trouble in Maple Leaf Village?" Fang Guizhi asked, pulling her arm.

Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong told everyone that Bai Ruozhu returned to Maple Leaf Village to discuss matters with the clan leader.

At this time, everyone in the family rushed over, pulling Bai Ruozhu to ask questions. Lin Ping'er also came out of the house holding Dengdeng in her arms.

Bai Ruozhu's eyes turned red as soon as she saw Deng Deng. She didn't care to talk to other people, she rushed over, took Deng Deng from her mother's arms and started crying.

Dengdeng has suffered a lot these days. He doesn't like drinking milk from the bottle at all. Although he still likes to play with bottles, how can his mother's milk taste good?

So, when Denden saw his mother, she cried in grievance, and her little head kept digging into Bai Ruozhu's chest. The meaning was very obvious, that is: I want to eat milk!

Bai Ruozhu sniffed, raised her head and said to Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong: "Mom, Dad, I'll go back to the house for a while and come out to see you later."

Lin Ping'er also had red eyes and said, "Go quickly. The child doesn't like to drink the wet nurse's milk these days and has lost weight."

Bai Ruozhu nodded and carried Dengdeng back to the house to breastfeed. She had been expressing milk by herself in the past few days, which resulted in a decrease in milk volume. Dengdeng became a little dissatisfied after eating for a while, and even patted her little hand angrily. .

Bai Ruozhu was dumbfounded by his little temper, and whispered: "Mom, I thought you were too much of a girl, so you only wanted to breastfeed me. You are a typical snack foodie with a bad temper."

Denden ignored her and continued eating on the other side, but her eyes were red and looked particularly distressing.

Bai Ruozhu touched Deng Deng's little head and felt soft again.

"Good baby, it's not your fault. Mom will take you to play with the man wearing the mask tomorrow, okay?" Bai Ruozhu said softly.

Naturally, Dengdeng didn't reply to her, and fell asleep while eating.

Thinking that Deng Deng fell asleep, Bai Ruozhu would put him back on the kang, and then put the quilt and pillow on the outside. She could do whatever she needed to do in the yard, but today she was reluctant to put down Deng Deng and hugged him directly. Dengdeng went to the main room.

When Lin Ping'er saw her carrying the child over, she knew that she was reluctant to let go of the child. She pointed to the kang next to her and said, "Put the pedal over there, and let's talk in a lower voice."

Bai Ruozhu nodded, she could see that the child did the same.

Everyone else in the room couldn't help but lower their voices. Fang Guizhi and Bai Ruozhu were the most casual, so they pulled her and asked: "What on earth did you do back to Maple Leaf Village? How come you don't know how to watch it all night long? I cry when I don’t see you, and I have to be coaxed for a long time before I fall asleep.”

Lin Ping'er hurriedly patted Fang Guizhi, secretly blaming her for saying this. Didn't this make Ruozhu feel uncomfortable?

Fang Guizhi saw Bai Ruozhu's eyes turning red again, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue, blaming herself for being too quick.

Bai Ruozhu just made up a few random sentences and then dismissed the people in the room. But facing her parents, she had to make up another set of excuses, which was really hard work.

"Why have you been gone so long? You didn't even send a message home. Your father and I were worried to death. We even urged your second brother to go to the Meng Mansion to ask twice." Lin Ping'er said in a low voice.

Bai Ruozhu shook his head slightly, "Mom, don't mention this matter again. This errand has been completed. I was in a hurry to come back, and I didn't have time to bring you anything."

Bai Yihong waved his hand hurriedly, "You don't need to bring anything, otherwise it will be difficult for them to ask."

Bai Ruozhu nodded, she couldn't take it with her even if she wanted to.

Afterwards, she chatted with her parents all afternoon, mainly asking if anything happened during her absence. She didn't want to ask if Li Yi had found her home. She just asked if there were any strange people or things, saying that she was afraid. Hua Xiangrong's competitors are secretly up to something.

Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong both shook their heads and said it was nothing. The fake Yun Xiangrong seemed to be doing well. Fang Guizhi took a look secretly and found that the items inside were not comparable to Bai's Hua Xiangrong, but the price was about the same. It's half cheaper, so naturally some people are greedy for cheap and buy it.

"It is said that the things inside are all the simplest stitches, and the styles are just like ours, such as making a scarf, a shawl, etc." Lin Ping'er curled her lips as she spoke, feeling particularly unhappy.

Bai Ruozhu patted her mother's hand and said, "It doesn't matter, we are originally serving high-end customers, and he will not affect us."

Lin Ping'er nodded, as if she knew all the crochet techniques.

In the evening, Bai Zepei came back from the academy. When he saw Bai Ruozhu, his expression changed immediately, and then he called Bai Ruozhu with a cold face to go to his room to talk.

"You are having a good time outside, are you too happy to miss Shu?" Bai Zepei said with a cold face.

Bai Ruozhu knew that the second brother had misunderstood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Second brother, you don't know how complicated this matter is, but I really did the right thing this time and made a great contribution."

Bai Zepei raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it."

Wu Yunfeng didn't let Bai Ruozhu tell the truth, but Bai Ruozhu knew that the second brother knew the seriousness, so she told the second brother the story of going to Xuantian Mountain. However, she was afraid that the second brother would feel uncomfortable, so she just brushed off the thrilling incident.

"Originally, I wanted to go to the Meng Mansion to ask for help, but the messenger was blocked on the way. Fortunately, I met the lady of the General Secretary's family on the way. Fortunately, Li Yi has fled to Xuantian Mountain." Bai Ruozhu said.

Bai Zepei frowned tightly, "Don't mention this to anyone again. The highest official in the General Affairs Department is the General Affairs Secretary, and then there are the two general affairs officials. The Right General Affairs Bureau has a very high position. If word spreads, the General Affairs Secretary will lose face. "

Bai Ruozhu nodded hurriedly, secretly saying that his second brother's political consciousness was really keen.

"I will find a way to explain to Mr. Meng, and he will not ask you specifically. You go to the Meng Mansion tomorrow and think about how to tell Mrs. Meng." Bai Zepei said.

When Bai Ruozhu thought about having to make up a story again, she couldn't help but get a headache again.

When she came out of her second brother's house, she saw Mrs. Laifu standing in the yard in a daze, as if she wanted to say something to her. Bai Ruozhu smiled at Laifu's sister-in-law. It must have been difficult for Laifu's sister-in-law these days. She couldn't mention it when she saw Bai Ruozhu. She had to hide it from Bai Ruozhu's parents, for fear of being upset.

She went over and took Mrs. Laifu's arm and said, "Let's go to the backyard for a walk."

Mrs. Laifu nodded hurriedly. When no one was in the backyard, she asked anxiously: "Ruozhu, what happened that day? I was scared to death!"

Bai Ruozhu thought for a while and said: "There are bad guys who want to catch me, so I can't go home for the time being, for fear of hurting you. The **** sent a letter to the city lord, asking him to send someone to the shop to pick me up. This matter involves As a high official in the imperial court, don't mention it to anyone, you haven't seen me at all in the past few days."

Mrs. Laifu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She nodded vigorously and said, "I know, I didn't tell anyone. I'll forget about it now!"
