Chapter 772 Xiao Ning’s wishful thinking

When Bai Zehao was asked about the waist pendant by his sister, he didn't look nervous at all. He said calmly: "It was given to me by Xiao Ning, a young worker from Caixiuxuan. That girl is so pitiful. Her father was sick before. In order to give it to him Dad wanted to seek medical treatment, but she wanted to be sold into slavery, so I happened to meet her and helped her. She is pretty good at embroidery, and now she works in Caixiu Xuan, and she said she would pay me back early."

It didn't matter that Bai Zehao mentioned Xiao Ning, but his praise was overwhelming. He obviously admired Xiao Ning's filial piety and ambition.

Bai Ruozhu reached out and pulled off his waist pendant, played with it in her hand, and said, "She is indeed a skillful girl, and her waist is beautifully tied, but is she married? Or engaged?"

"I don't know about this, and I've never asked anyone about this." Bai Zehao smiled innocently.

Bai Ruozhu observed her eldest brother's expression and found that he really didn't care about Xiao Ning. She was relieved. If her eldest brother had an extramarital affair or had an extramarital affair when his wife was pregnant, she would look down on him even if she kissed him. .

Just because it's nothing now, doesn't mean it'll be nothing in the future. Men are often responsible for bad scandals. She doesn't want the relationship between her eldest brother and sister-in-law to be affected by others.

"Most of them are young girls who haven't been engaged. It's not very good for the eldest brother to randomly accept gifts from others." Bai Ruozhu said and sighed meaningfully, "The eldest brother has also read books, even though our Danliang country does not pay attention to what men and women are. Be careful, but if someone with intentions sees it and tells you that you are secretly accepting each other, it will influence the girl to marry you."

Bai Zehao's expression changed, and he said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "No way, I am her benefactor and her boss, so it should be normal for her to be grateful to me for giving me something, right?"

"Brother, you are also going to be a father. You should learn to be more attentive. There are some things that should be avoided and you should avoid them. If you don't believe it, take this pendant to your sister-in-law and see if she feels it. Awkward? You said it's okay. If my sister-in-law misunderstands me later, I'm afraid I'll be sad for a while." Bai Ruozhu tossed the waist pendant up and down in her hand. She started to think about it. If she loosened the waist pendant, it would loosen. Why? Just put it on Bai Zehao's waist on the spot?

"Also, you put it on at that time. It must not have been your own initiative. I'm afraid the little girl put it on for you, right?" Bai Ruozhu said with a contemptuous smile on her face. She admires good and motivated girls. But she still looks down on anyone who takes the initiative to hook up with a married woman and wants to be a concubine, especially if the woman is pregnant.

Who in Caixiuxuan didn't know about Bai Zehao's situation? She didn't believe that Xiao Ning didn't ask about it.

Bai Zehao was dumbfounded when he was told that, and soon a look of shame appeared on his face, "Ruozhu, you are right to remind me. If someone with an intention sees it, I am afraid that rumors will spread. I will return the waist pendant to Xiao tomorrow. Ning, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

Bai Ruozhu nodded happily and threw the waist pendant back to Bai Zehao. But she thought about it, snatched it back, and said: "Brother, let me return it for you. You go to her to return the pendant. It would be bad if someone sees you pushing and pulling it. This way Being entangled can easily lead to misunderstandings.”

"Isn't this... going to be too embarrassing? That little girl is quite strong." Bai Zehao asked worriedly.

Bai Ruozhu snorted in her heart, "Do you want to be strong?" A truly strong girl doesn't want to get entangled with a married man.

"Brother, don't worry, I will tell her tactfully. If she is willing, I can also help her find a good family, which will also fulfill the benevolence of our family." Bai Ruozhu said.

Bai Zehao nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble my little sister."

The next day, Bai Ruozhu went to Cai Xiu Xuan with her waist pendant. Even though she didn't go to Cai Xiu Xuan often, the shopkeeper, waiter and embroiderer all knew her. Xiao Ning was also secretly looking at Bai Ruozhu, feeling that she was extremely beautiful and had an elegant temperament about her, which made her feel a little ashamed in front of Bai Ruozhu.

Xiao Ning felt aggrieved in her heart. If her mother hadn't been a drug addict who spent all the family's savings and left, she was also the daughter of a small merchant. Even if she couldn't compare with the Bai family's daughter, she wouldn't be reduced to an embroiderer, right?

Bai Ruozhu quietly observed Xiao Ning's demeanor, and was even more sure that this girl was not a waste of energy. She asked the people below about the situation of the shop, and then asked everyone to go to work. When everyone was about to leave, she suddenly pointed at Xiao Ning and asked: "Are you the new embroiderer? You look very young."

Everyone else went down, but Xiao Ning could not ignore Bai Ruozhu. She turned around and saluted Bai Ruozhu respectfully, and said, "Miss, my name is Xiao Ning, and I am fifteen years old this year."

"That's really small." Bai Ruozhu muttered. Seeing everyone else walking away, he took out the waist pendant from his sleeve, raised it in front of him and said, "Is this made? It's really a pair. Skillful."

Xiao Ning's face changed instantly, and she quickly thought about several possibilities. For example, Bai Ruozhu asked Bai Zehao for it, or Bai Zehao accidentally dropped it and Bai Ruozhu picked it up. No matter what she thought, she thought She felt uncomfortable. The eldest young master was obviously very good to her, so how could he just give the things she gave him to others?

Bai Ruozhu looked at Xiao Ning's slightly unwilling expression, with a sarcastic smile on his face, and said, "I've given this back to you. You can sell it in the shop. Maybe you can save enough money to pay it back to me earlier." Brother, you will be free by then, and you won’t be able to work so hard as an embroiderer.”

When Xiao Ning heard this, she became anxious and said, "Miss, it's not hard to be an embroiderer. I like it here and I will work hard. Please don't drive me away." As she said this, her tears fell down.

Look, Xiao Ning is crying so hard that she thinks Bai Ruozhu is bullying the poor little girl and wants to drive her away. But did Bai Ruozhu say that she should get out now? Although she does have this power.

"You misunderstood. You are a young girl who has not yet left the palace. You should keep your things away. If someone else picks them up, it will be troublesome. How can you say goodbye in the future?" Bai Ruozhu said and smiled, "You are good at your craftsmanship. You are very beautiful. How about I help you find a suitable husband later and be a matchmaker for you? Many of my guards are not married yet."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ning's face turned pale, and she immediately shook her head and said, "Why bother Miss Lao? I'm still young and my father is in poor health. I want to take more care of him and don't want to get married so early."

"Then you have to put away your own things. If some ruffian or scoundrel picks it up and comes to rely on you, saying that you give and take things privately, you won't be able to take care of your father for a few more years." Bai Ruozhu said with a meaningful smile.
