"Nothing, I'm scolding your third brother for disobeying him."
It is naturally not suitable for a child to know the truth behind her scolding Bai Sanzhuang, not to mention that this matter involves her granddaughter.
"Why is Third Brother disobedient?" Xiao Fuyuan asked innocently.
How should Mrs. Bai answer this?
"Grandma, please stop scolding Third Brother."
Xiao Fuyuan saw his third brother standing aside cautiously, not even daring to raise his head after being scolded, which was so pitiful.
When Bai Sanzhuang saw his sister begging for mercy, he raised his head and gave his sister a grateful glance.
He was so moved that he almost cried!
My sister is so nice.
Who dares to intercede for Mrs. Bai at this juncture, only my sister dares.
Who is my sister doing this for? Is it for him, the third brother?
At this time, Bai Sanzhuang felt a little regretful and agreed to Cheng Mei's request to see his sister without consulting his family.
"Grandma, I'm not begging for mercy for the third brother, I'm afraid you'll be so angry." Xiao Fuyuan threw herself into the arms of Mrs. Bai and acted like a coquettish woman.
Old Mrs. Bai was so beaten that she lost her temper.
"Grandma, hurry up, sit on the chair and rest." Xiao Fuyuan led Mrs. Bai to the chair, not forgetting to wipe the chair carefully with her little hands.
Then he said to the third brother: "Third brother, pour tea for grandma. Grandma is tired of scolding."
Under the arrangement of Xiao Fuyuan, Bai Sanzhuang quickly got a bowl of tea for his grandmother. He handed it to Mrs. Bai with both hands. Mrs. Bai hummed but did not reach out to take it.
It means that I won't scold you for the sake of your sister, but it doesn't mean I have forgiven you.
When Xiao Fuyuan saw that Mrs. Bai didn't take the water poured by her third brother, she wanted to reach out to take it, but Mrs. Bai took it.
"Look at you, what would you do if you burned your sister?"
Mrs. Bai walked down the steps without forgetting to scold Bai Sanzhuang.
"Grandma is not angry, not angry." Xiao Fuyuan clung to Mrs. Bai's arm and made a sweet face.
"Grandma, just forgive Third Brother." Xiao Fuyuan said.
Old Mrs. Bai poured a bowl of tea and looked at the smiling face of her little granddaughter in front of her. The anger in her heart suddenly disappeared.
"If it weren't for your sister, I would never forgive you again."
Mrs. Bai waved her hand and drove Bai Sanzhuang away. She had to forgive her grandson, otherwise where would her granddaughter's face be?
If the granddaughter's pleas for mercy don't work, and others follow her example, the granddaughter's status in the family will be affected, right?
Old Mrs. Bai found reasons for herself to forgive Bai Sanzhuang.
The Bai family members all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Xiao Fuyuan had coaxed Mrs. Bai with a few words.
What should I do if I get angry at such an old age?
"Grandma, are you angry because Third Brother wants to take me to see Aunt Cheng Mei?"
Xiao Fuyuan's words made Mrs. Bai's heart lift.
Mrs. Bai felt a little guilty.
Looking at her little granddaughter's big watery eyes, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but hold her in her arms and asked, "Do you want to see her?"
Xiao Fuyuan thought for a while and said, "If grandma doesn't let me see her, I won't see her."
Old Mrs. Bai's tears of joy almost rolled down her face.
Nanguan Town, hotel!
Cheng Mei was looking out the window in her room, her face obscured by a curtain and her expression unclear.
The figure pacing back and forth showed her nervousness, anxiety, and expectation.
Butler Yan walked in.
"How?" Cheng Mei asked.
Butler Yan was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "Sanzhuang just received news, saying that the young lady has a heavy workload in private school these days and will not come out."
Cheng Mei sat on the bed frustrated. After a long time, she shook her head and smiled bitterly: "That's it, that's it."
Butler Yan said: "Otherwise, I'm going to ask Sanzhuang. Maybe I sent the wrong news."
How could such news be conveyed incorrectly? I just didn't want her to see it.
Cheng Mei had no position to blame the Bai family. After all, she couldn't protect her daughter Zhou Quan in such a dangerous situation.
Isn't it just because they knew they were soft-hearted and kind-hearted that they would take their daughter back and raise her well?
Now her daughter is being raised very well by the Bai family. She hasn't seen her for so many years, and even used a false identity to test her. It's no wonder that they don't want their daughter to see her.
Cheng Mei felt very complicated.
In addition to being sad, she was also very relieved that the Bai family would not be willing to use their daughter as a favor just because she took Bai Sanzhuang to Nanyang.
Bai Banban and his wife have always been very personable, and she had noticed it when she worked in the Shen Mansion.
Otherwise, he would not take a chance and leave his daughter at the couple's doorstep.
She won the bet!
"Forget it if you don't want to." Cheng Mei sighed and said lightly, "I don't have to see her. I will feel at ease if she is doing well."
Luzhu stood aside and couldn't help but interject: "How about we go to Shenshu Village to see her secretly?"
She didn't understand that she was already in Nanguan Town. If she was so eager to see the young lady, why not go to Shenshu Village to see her directly.
Cheng Mei said: "No."
She was unwilling to meet secretly, which would not only bring groundless speculation to the Bai family, but also cause unnecessary trouble to Xiao Fuyuan.
"Can't we just take a look from a distance?" Lu Zhu still wanted to persuade her, because she knew that Madam wanted to see the young lady very much. Even if she couldn't talk, a look from a distance would satisfy her wish to meet.
"No, Luzhu, this matter is over now, there is no need to talk about it anymore," Cheng Mei said.
…
"...Mom, I want to wear that pink gauze skirt that Sister Qiu made for me, is that okay?"
In the morning, Mrs. Zhen dressed Xiao Fuyuan, and Xiao Fuyuan made a request.
She described that gauze skirt to Qiuniang based on the style of the skirt in her previous life, and Qiuniang sewed it out for her with her skillful hands. She liked it very much.
Since my mother said that Aunt Cheng Mei was an important guest, she showed respect for Cheng Mei by wearing her favorite tutu skirt to meet the most important guest.
"Okay." Mrs. Zhen said, opened the box, took out the gauze skirt, and put it on Xiao Fuyuan.
Little Fu put on her clothes and spun around on the ground several times excitedly.
Seeing her daughter's excited little face, Zhen's eyes were red.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Since Mrs. Zhen told her that Cheng Mei was coming to visit her home last night, she secretly wiped away tears several times.
"Mom is happy to see you grow up," said Zhen.
"Mom, is grandma still angry?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.
Yesterday, Mrs. Zhen talked to Old Mrs. Bai in the house for a long time. Her mother-in-law, who didn't know how to persuade her, finally agreed to meet Cheng Mei and Xiao Fuyuan.
However, Mrs. Bai's request was that she did not want Xiao Fuyuan to go to the town hotel to meet Cheng Mei, but wanted Cheng Mei to meet her at home.
"I'm not angry anymore." Mrs. Zhen comforted little Fuyuan softly.
"Girl, come and give me a hug."
Bai Ban came to the room and saw little Fuyuan wearing a gauze skirt, delicate and beautiful like the dragon girl in the painting. He stretched out his hand and took her into his arms.
Xiao Fuyuan felt that her parents had been acting strangely since last night.
To her, it was like...like she was going to be taken away by someone.
"Dad, no one will take me away." Xiao Fuyuan comforted his father subconsciously.
When Bai Banban heard this, he actually started to cry.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, dad was touched."
