"He ate up all the duck brains!" Li Wen Nan looked at his empty fork, then at Li Wen Lan who seemed to be savoring the food with great relish, looking wronged.

  "You're not allowed to force your sister to eat what you like, if you want her to eat duck head, then you eat a bowl of fatty meat first!" Madam Yan scolded Li Wen Nan again.

  Li Wen Nan heard the two words "fatty meat" and shouted, "How can fatty meat compare to duck head... Okay I was wrong, Xia Jie sorry, but duck head is so delicious... Xia Jie sorry, I was wrong."

  "Nan Jie is really sensible." Mrs. Xu repeatedly praised.

  "Don't even mention Dong Jie, if An Nang could be as sensible as A Xia, I'd be grateful. Madam Yan sighed and laughed, "It's all my fault for having only one daughter at the age of almost 40, and spoiling her too much, just look at her."

  "Nan Jie is so young, yet so sensible, it's really rare." Mrs. Xue listened to the extremely intimate words of Madam Yan and felt warmth in her heart, looking at Madam Yan with a sense of closeness that couldn't be any closer, then looked at Nan Jie, thinking she was no different from Ah Xia, what's not good about that? It's all good.

  "Madam." Sun Zhong's wife lifted the curtain and came in, walked to Yan's wife's side, bowed her head and reported in a low voice: "General Bai's wife brought their young master and miss, they are just next door, and have just arrived."

  "Ah." Mrs. Yan furrowed her brow, wasn't it said that every year the Bai Shuai's family would book a room at the Smoke Cloud Building? She had deliberately avoided the Smoke Cloud Building and booked a room here at the Clear Distant Pavilion, yet they still ran into each other?

  Mrs. Xü sat next to Mrs. Yán, listening clearly to Sun Zhōng's wife's report, and seeing Mrs. Yán frowning, she knew that they had run into someone they didn't want to meet. And this family was actually the Chancellery? Mrs. Xü's heart rose up.

  "There's nothing," seeing Mrs. Xu looking at her with a surprised face, Mrs. Yan hastily explained in a low voice: "When we first arrived in Jiangning Prefecture, Nansister's father and Commander Bai had a few arguments due to official business. Madame Wang is the type who follows her husband's lead, so when Nansister's father and Commander Bai met, they would glare at each other, and she also stopped socializing with us. Now... you sit back and relax, I still need to go over there once, bring Nansister and Xiaxia along, we have to put on a show."

  In a few words, Mrs. Yan had already made up her mind that whether the Bai family was polite or not was none of her business, but here, she couldn't afford to make any mistakes in etiquette.

  Mrs. Xu nodded hastily.

  Mrs. Yan stood up, beckoned Li Wen and Li Xia over, gave them a few instructions, and took the two of them out of the elegant room to the next one.

  Li Xia's attention was all on Li Wen Nan, and she didn't notice the report just now. However, she also didn't mind this, anyway, with Li Wen Nan by her side, she could be at ease playing the role of a naive and ignorant little person.

  Sun Zhong's wife took the lead and went to the next room to greet them. When Mrs. Yan arrived at the door of the elegant room, the curtain had already been lifted high, and Wang Shi, the wife of Jiangnan East Road Governor Bai Jingning, had stood up to welcome her.

  Li Xia saw Bai Jingning's eldest daughter, Bai Yue, at a glance, and her eyes widened suddenly. It turned out that Bai Jingning was currently serving as the governor of Jiangnan East Road.

  Bai Yue was extremely sharp and immediately met Li Xia's surprised gaze, sizing her up from head to toe, glancing at Li Wen Nan who was tightly holding Li Xia's hand, and then sizing Li Xia up again.

  Li Xia met her gaze, slightly bent her knees, and shifted her eyes from her to the twelve-year-old boy in brocade standing beside her. The boy looked very much like Bo Yue, this must be Bo Qiao.

  Li Xia carefully sized up Bai Qiao.

  After this term, Bai Jingning was transferred to Fujian and served as the Governor-general of the Southern Route Army. On his way to take up the post, the entire family on board the ship were killed by pirates.

  Ten years later, the government and soldiers responded from inside and outside, destroying the largest pirate force on the southern sea. The person who responded said his name was Bai Qiao.

  At that time, she had already gained the emperor's favor and after becoming pregnant, she often attended to the emperor personally and chatted with him. The emperor liked talking to her the most at that time.

  She clearly remembered that the emperor was annoyed at the time, saying that even if it was a member of the Bai family, growing up in a pirate's nest, who would still know what loyalty and righteousness are? He said that Bai Qiao personally killed almost all the pirates, hundreds of people, and the knives were all beheaded, showing how cruel he was...

  At that time, she only dared to speak in accordance with the emperor's meaning. At that time, she had to firmly grasp the emperor's favor...

  It seems like just a few days ago, Bai Yue took poison and Bai Qiao went missing.

  After she took power, she sent many people to find Bo Jiao, and they searched for nearly ten years, but found nothing. Jin Xun said he should have died already, but she didn't believe it, she always felt that he was still alive...

  He is indeed alive.

  This was her first time seeing Berjo.

  He should be twelve years old this year, and at the age of twelve, he already has a strong presence. He looks really good, indeed, every member of the Bai family is beautiful, just like the Li family...

  When Bai Qiao was glanced at by Li Xia for a moment, she disdainfully slanted her eyes at her, looking straight into her eyes again and staring fiercely.

  Li Xia was completely unaware, Li Wen Nan was stared at by Bo Qiao and had a few points of shrinking back, hurriedly pulled Li Xia again, Li Xia only looked at Bo Qiao without blinking, this is one of the people she used to want to find, want to see, and want to say a few words to in person...

  Bo Jiao glared again, Li Xia still stared blankly, Bo Jiao was so anxious that she wanted to roll her eyes, but there was no good way out. She couldn't hide, as a member of the Bo family, she had to maintain some pride... How could she hide? Glaring back... But she couldn't glare back!

  Bai Yue glanced at her obviously annoyed brother, then looked at Li Xia who was staring blankly at him without blinking. Speechless, she rolled her eyes and took two steps forward, pulling Li Xia over. "Sister Nan, want to have some snacks?"

  Li Xia was pulled away by Bai Yue, and Li Wen Nan, who was holding hands with Li Xia, stumbled a step before quickly catching up. She let out a long sigh of relief as she was glared at by Bai Qiao's angry eyes one after another, her heart shrinking into a ball. Every single member of the Bai family was so fierce, she didn't like it one bit!

  Li Xia was pulled two steps by Bai Yue and struggled to turn her head to look at Bai Qiao, who was tightly pursing his lips in anger.

  Bei Jingning still has three years in this term, and that bloody case will be four years later...

  Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Wang chatted for a while, drank half a cup of tea, and then bid farewell to leave, taking Li Wen and Li Xia back to their own room.

  The small performance on Qinhuai River has begun. Li Xia and Li Wen Nan are standing close together, leaning against the railing to look out.

  Li Wen Nan was excited and exclaimed, Li Xia's chin rested on the back of her hand, gazing far away at Bai Jing Ning sitting in the middle of the boat on the river, lost in thought. After Bai Jing Ning died, the Bai family quickly declined, and the branch of the founding empress was from then on obscure...

  She has read almost all of Bai Jingning's articles, the battles he fought, if he hadn't died, the south might not have been in turmoil for so many years, Jin Zhiyan also said so...
