A plainly decorated carriage drove from Nanguan Town towards Shenshu Village.
Cheng Mei was sitting in the carriage wearing a curtain hat, clasping her hands together.
As she got closer and closer to Shenshu Village, Cheng Mei's breathing became more and more rapid.
This was the first time that Lu Zhu saw the leader of the family being so anxious, and he was so worried that he lost his composure.
"How much further is there?" Cheng Mei asked softly.
"There are still two miles to go." Butler Yan sat in front of the carriage, waving his whip fiercely, his tone revealing his unprecedented ease.
Cheng Mei nodded slightly, wrung her hands tighter, and her heart was beating wildly.
Lu Zhu's eyes were red looking at such a powerful person.
Yesterday, the head of the family learned that the Bai family was unwilling to let the young lady come out to see her. Although she was indifferent, Lu Zhu knew that she was holding on.
What mother doesn't want to see her child?
What's more, the little lady was the one she risked her life to protect.
Mother and daughter have not seen each other for so many years, how can they not miss each other.
Only Luzhu knew how deeply the head of the family missed the young lady.
Clothes for all seasons, she estimated her size and sewed them with her own hands and packed them in the box; when she saw things that children liked on the road, the boss would collect them; when she saw a little girl of average age, the boss would make a good mistake. Staring...
They thought they would never see each other this time, but unexpectedly, there was a twist. When they decided to leave Shenshu Village in the morning, Bai Sanzhuang received news again, saying that the Bai family invited the eldest son to go to Shenshu Village to meet the young lady.
As we got closer and closer to Shenshu Village, Cheng Mei felt more and more uneasy.
Her daughter had only seen her once since she was born and never seen her again.
Although it was only a glance, she remembered her daughter's appearance.
Big round and bright eyes, a face as delicate as glutinous rice dumplings, thick black hair...
She didn't even have time to stuff her little daughter with a personal token. In such a dangerous environment, she only had time to wrap her up in the Pomegranate Hundred Sons Quilt given to her by Zhen.
I don’t know how tall my daughter is. Have you ever had a hard time? After all, the Bai family was so poor back then.
But she believed that no matter how poor the Bai family was, they would never treat their daughter badly.
He didn't know how his daughter would react when she saw him.
Thinking of this, Cheng Mei reached into the curtain hat and touched her face, feeling a heart-wrenching pain fill her whole body.
It’s better not to let your daughter see your burned face, so as not to scare her.
Bai family.
Because she wants to see Cheng Mei, Xiao Fuyuan doesn't have to go to private school today.
She was wearing a tulle skirt and spinning around happily.
"Third brother, is Aunt Cheng Mei beautiful?" Xiao Fuyuan ran to Bai Sanzhuang and asked curiously.
"pretty."
Bai Sanzhuang said hesitantly.
He didn't see Cheng Mei's face in detail. He only glanced at it accidentally under the veil blown by the wind. It was a terrifying face that seemed to have been burned by fire.
"Sister, third brother tells you, it doesn't matter whether a person is beautiful or not, a person's moral character is the most important." Bai Sanzhuang said to his sister.
"Xiao Yuanbao, come here, come to grandma." Old Mrs. Bai stood in the corridor and waved to Xiao Fuyuan.
Little Fuyuan ran to her grandmother's side.
Bai Sanzhuang still didn't understand why his grandmother objected to Cheng Mei meeting his sister at first, and why she agreed later.
He always felt that this was something weird.
"Mom, what did you say to grandma and grandma changed her mind again?" Bai Sanzhuang couldn't help but ask Zhen.
Zhen said with a smile: "You will have to venture into the business world in the future."
Bai Sanzhuang knew it was definitely not the reason.
What's your sister's status in the Bai family?
How could he be willing to let Cheng Mei meet Xiao Fuyuan just because he wanted to do business?
"Mom, did I agree too hastily?" Bai Sanzhuang asked after thinking about it.
At that time, Butler Yan said that because Cheng Mei read the letter written by his sister, the cold on his body healed the next day, and he felt that he was destined to his sister. In addition, he always mentioned her, so he wanted to see her.
He agreed without thinking at the time, but now it seems that he agreed hastily without any in-depth consideration.
"You did nothing wrong. Don't take this matter to heart. Cheng Mei will be here soon. The family is going to see if they want to keep her for dinner." Zhen said.
"The boss, the Bai family is in front of you."
Butler Yan sat at the front of the carriage, raised his whip and pointed forward, and a courtyard appeared in front of him.
Cheng Mei's heart beat faster and faster!
"Steward Yan, you have worked hard all the way." Bai Sanzhuang saw Butler Yan parked his carriage at the door of Bai's house and hurried to greet him.
Bai Sanzhuang felt very sorry at first to ask Cheng Mei to come to the house to meet his sister in person, but Tian Maimiao told him that his sister was the head of the village and it was not considered rude to the Bai family for Cheng Mei to come to the house to meet her sister.
Cheng Mei supported Lu Zhu's hand to get out of the carriage, and saw a shadowy figure standing under the eaves of the Bai family through the veil.
"Master, please come inside." Bai Sanzhuang invited Cheng Mei into the room.
Cheng Mei got off the carriage and searched the yard with her eyes, eager to see that little figure.
Bai Sanzhuang invited Cheng Mei into the house and took the initiative to leave.
Mrs. Zhen had told her family in advance that no one could enter the house except her, the old lady with a white wooden board, and Xiao Fuyuan.
Although Zhen's request was weird, Bai Sanzhuang and others still complied.
Seeing Bai Sanzhuang go out, Cheng Mei raised her hand, and Lu Zhu and Butler Yan followed Bai Sanzhuang out.
Eugene Gui served Cheng Mei tea. She originally wanted to stay and listen, but Mrs. Bai shot her a knife-like look, which frightened her and quickly left the room.
Even the courage to eavesdrop completely dissipated.
There were only five people left in the room: Mrs. Bai, Mr. and Mrs. Bai Banban, Xiao Fuyuan and Cheng Mei.
Cheng Mei first saluted Old Mrs. Bai and Mr. and Mrs. Bai Banban. Zhen quickly helped Cheng Mei up, while Old Mrs. Bai sat still.
Cheng Mei never left her eyes since she entered the room and saw Xiao Fu Yuanqi.
She had never seen such a beautiful and delicate little girl, like a dragon girl stepping out of a painting.
Cheng Mei's eyes were blurred, and she tried hard to force tears in, just to see Xiao Fuyuan clearly.
While Cheng Mei was observing Xiao Fuyuan, Xiao Fuyuan was also observing Cheng Mei.
This aunt looks very beautiful, but her face cannot be seen clearly.
"Is this the little round treasure?" Cheng Mei asked tremblingly.
"Xiao Yuanbao, this is Aunt Cheng, here to pay homage to Aunt Cheng." Mrs. Zhen waved to Xiao Fuyuan, who was nestling next to Mrs. Bai.
Xiao Fuyuan came to Cheng Mei in a fluffy gauze skirt, and a clear voice sounded: "Auntie Cheng, thank you for the gift."
Cheng Mei choked up.
Even if I wasn't choked, I wouldn't know what to say.
She stretched out her hand to touch Xiao Fuyuan's head, but she retracted her hand as soon as it reached the air.
The little girl standing in front of her was her daughter. She was wearing strange but beautiful clothes and looked at her curiously with her big, sparkling eyes.
Cheng Mei wanted to hold her in her arms.
