Chapter 368 Father and Daughter
Chapter 368 Father and Daughter
Looking at the docile and obedient Zhen Beiling, Madam Bai and Zhu Zhengjun both liked her very much.
Zhu Zhengjun was particularly happy and had already prepared a gift for the meeting, including a bluish-white jade ruyi, various gold and silver jewelry, and even several plates of gold ingots.
Just waiting for Mrs. Bai to finish her polite words, Zhu Zhengjun waved his hand in a very generous manner.
"Bei Ling, we are a family now, so we can't have different opinions."
"These are my gifts to you. You must accept them well and give me plump grandchildren."
On the first day of marriage, when paying respects to her mother-in-law and father-in-law, she was about to be forced to give birth. Zhen Beiling blushed and nodded gently.
"I will keep my father's teachings in mind and never let him down."
Zhen Beiling in the plot did live up to expectations. His first child with his original body was a daughter. It was a pity that both the father and daughter were gone.
Mrs. Bai was very satisfied with her son-in-law and also prepared a greeting gift for him.
Xianxian took Zhen Beiling to introduce other people.
"Bei Ling, this is my eldest sister, and her husband Li Zhengjun, and this is Bai Zixuan."
Bai Zixuan saw Zhen Beiling's eyes widened, "Oh my god, brother immortal."
When Li Yuming heard his son start talking nonsense, his first reaction was to cover his mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Zhen Beiling was not angry at all, and even asked the servant to hand over a gold necklace.
"I've heard Shuangshuang mention the clever Xuanxuan a long time ago, and I've already prepared a meeting gift, so I can give it to Bai Zixuan today."
Looking at the priceless gold necklace in front of him, Li Yuming didn't dare to take it for a moment. He could only look to Bai Mei for help.
Mrs. Bai looked at his reaction and felt that he had delayed her daughter's development.
She couldn't help but curse inwardly, "What a petty person."
She is indeed petty. She has only given birth to a son since she got married. Her family background is not high, so Li Yuming has no confidence at all. He rarely speaks even on weekdays.
He was worried that he and Bai Zixuan might say the wrong thing, which would make Mrs. Bai dislike him.
Because Mrs. Bai felt that Li Yuming had ruined her daughter's life. If it weren't for him, her daughter would have found a good husband.
Zhu Zhengjun did not speak up for Li Yuming.
Bai Mei smiled gently at Li Yuming, "Since it is a gift from my brother-in-law to Bai Zixuan, then accept it."
Bai Mei didn't think there was anything wrong with her husband's cautiousness.
"Yes."
Finally, Xianxian brought Zhen Beiling to meet Bai Rui.
The other party was even more surprised when he saw Zhen Beiling. He really didn't expect Zhen Beiling to be so handsome.
"This is my third sister Bai Rui. You have seen her that day."
Zhen Beiling nodded towards Bai Rui, "Third sister."
Because Bai Rui is not married yet, Zhen Beiling naturally prepared a gift for her as well.
This made Bai Rui feel flattered.
"Thank you, brother-in-law Zhen."
Zhen Beiling was a little embarrassed by this title.
His face was already blushing with shame. He spent three days comfortably like this, and finally the day to return home arrived.
Zhu Zhengjun would not force him to abide by the rules, while Mrs. Bai was wholeheartedly pampering Zhou Langjun.
Xianxian even accompanied Zhen Beiling back home and brought back bags of good things, which was a very respectable move.
This made Zhen Beiling's father and mother very satisfied.
Originally Zhen Beiling was very nervous about getting married, but gradually she got lost in Xianxian's gentle embrace.
The two of them were simply sealed in a honey jar, with Xianxian tying Zhen Beiling's hair and bathing him every day.
Not long after, Zhen Beiling became pregnant. According to the date, she was conceived during her wedding night.
It just so happened that this day was the day Bai Rui married Zheng Qingyun.
Looking at the greasy food in front of him, he covered his nose with some discomfort.
At this time, Xianxian peeled the oranges for him personally.
"Are you feeling too uncomfortable? I'll peel an orange for you, and you just need to smell the orange peel and you'll feel better."
"What's going on here?"
Ever since Zhen Beiling started retching, Zhu Zhengjun had been paying attention to him. Seeing Xianxian handing him the orange so anxiously, he couldn't help but ask.
I had some guesses in my mind, but I still wanted to hear the two of them tell me the good news in person.
Zhen Beiling blushed and put his hands on his belly. Xianxian beside him protected him and said with a smile, "Father, Beiling is pregnant now and can't stand the smell of greasy things."
"What did you say?"
Zhu Zhengjun clapped his hands vigorously, the joy in his eyes almost overflowing.
"Are you really pregnant? Why didn't you tell me earlier? This would have allowed me to prepare well."
"Good boy, you are so lucky. Shuangshuang is so lucky to marry a capable husband like you."
"Father, it's not even three months old yet, Shuangshuang won't let me tell anyone."
Zhu Zhengjun slapped his thigh and responded, "Yes, yes, you can't tell it. Only the three of us need to know it. You can't tell anyone else."
"Ah."
Originally, Bai Rui was getting married today, and Mrs. Bai specially asked Mr. Lin to come to the front yard, but Zhu Zhengjun was a little unhappy.
Now all that unhappiness has disappeared, and my mind is filled with my grandchildren waving at me.
I was in a good mood today, so I mercifully let Mr. Lin go.
As long as he doesn't do anything bad, I won't bring him any bad luck.
Seeing Bai Rui and Zheng Qingyun getting married, Mr. Lin was not happy at all.
The other party is big and strong, and the children he will have in the future will definitely be ugly. He doesn't look like someone who is lucky enough to have children.
Mr. Lin's expression turned slightly colder, and he did not look at Zheng Qingyun in a good mood.
This was the person left by Bai Shuang, so she gave him to her Rui'er.
Bai Rui has so many men in the plot, and actually half of it is thanks to Lin Langjun.
Whenever he likes someone and thinks they are good, he always tries to match Bai Rui up with that person.
On the surface, he and Zheng Qingyun got along well, but in fact, Mr. Lin disliked him the most.
I think he has the worst status, but he happens to be the husband.
Xianxian noticed Lin Langjun's expression and roughly guessed what he was thinking.
As long as Mr. Lin commits suicide, Bai Rui will take care of him sooner or later.
Sure enough, something went wrong when we paid our respects the next day.
Bai Rui and Zheng Qingyun had just paid their respects in the main courtyard. Before they could catch their breath, they were called by Mr. Lin again, who asked them to serve them for an hour.
When this news reached Zhu Zhengjun's ears, he wanted to teach Lin Langjun a lesson on the spot.
I am the righteous ruler, but the other party is about to crawl on my face?
Xianxian stopped the impulsive Zhu Zhengjun in time.
"Father, please calm down. After all, Zheng Qingyun is Mr. Lin's legitimate son-in-law. You must not interfere in this matter. You can only wait for Bai Rui to handle it personally."
"Bai Rui?"
Zhu Zhengjun calmed down and asked in confusion, "How can she deal with it?"
"Now that Bai Rui and Zheng Qingyun have just gotten married and are enjoying their marriage, do you think Bai Rui will just sit back and watch while Mr. Lin is meddling in their affairs?"
"Ever since Bai Rui recovered, she has no patience for Mr. Lin. Father, we just need to let this matter ferment, and Mr. Lin will naturally suffer the consequences."
Thinking of Bai Rui’s estrangement from Lin Langjun.
Zhu Zhengjun had a gloating smile on his face.
"Yes, Bai Rui should be allowed to fight him. This is simply cutting his flesh."
"By the way, how is Bei Ling these past two days? How is he eating and sleeping? You should be patient these days and don't bother him."
Thinking of the marks on Zhen Beiling’s neck at that time.
Zhu Zhengjun gave a few worried instructions.
Xianxian coughed lightly and replied, "Father, I didn't. Ever since Beiling was diagnosed with pregnancy, I have only been chatting with him under the quilt. It's not what you think..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. You young people have a lot of energy, so it's inevitable that you may overdo it sometimes. But you have to know how to control yourself. You must not let Bei Ling get too tired now."
Zhu Zhengjun really advised earnestly, "He has your child now, and will soon be a mother. You should be more steady in doing things."
"My daughter understands."
But there was more relief in his eyes.
My daughter has grown up and will soon become a mother. I will soon have my own grandchildren. Time really flies.
Many obsessions have been let go.
In the past, he always wanted to surpass Lin Langjun, but now this competitive spirit has faded a lot.
Seeing that my daughter has already started a family, how could I still think about such messy things?
Zheng Qingyun was really patient. He went to Lin Langjun to be scolded for three consecutive days, and then had to stay alone in his own courtyard when he returned.
Perhaps because she still held a grudge, Bai Rui never thought of sharing a room with Zheng Qingyun.
Until the day of returning home on the third day, Zheng Qingyun's face was not very good.
When Mrs. Zheng asked, she found out that her son had been wronged in the Bai Mansion.
What made her even more angry was that the person who made her son scold and punish every day was actually Mrs. Bai's concubine.
Mrs. Zheng angrily drove Bai Rui away and threatened that the marriage would be cancelled, but she would never allow her son to suffer any injustice.
Bai Rui had no idea what was going on from beginning to end, and only found out what had happened after she returned to the Bai Mansion.
Her first reaction was to find Zhu Zhengjun.
"Father, are you my Lord Lin who has been making things difficult for Zheng Qingyun?"
Zhu Zhengjun sighed and said, "I don't know much about this matter, but Mr. Lin does want Qingyun to serve him every day. After all, Mr. Lin is your biological father, so it's not easy for me to interfere."
Thinking of Zheng Qingyun's unhappy face, he thought about how he had been ignoring him for some time.
This made Bai Rui feel like she was not a human being.
She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "This is too much! How could he treat Zheng Qingyun like this? Even if he is my biological father, he shouldn't have his hands in my yard."
Bai Rui rushed out angrily. Zhu Zhengjun pretended to try to stop her but he was actually very happy.
Half an hour later, news came that Mr. Lin had fainted.
Zhu Zhengjun couldn't stop smiling.
"It's a good thing, it's really a good thing. Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. It's his turn to suffer in the end."
Bai Mei was equally happy, and she looked at Bai Rui with a much better liking the next day.
Mrs. Bai was also called in for a talk by Mrs. Zheng. When she learned about what Mr. Lin had done, she immediately forgot their past love and went to his yard to scold him severely.
"I know you gave birth to Bai Rui, so naturally you want to show off your power, but Zheng Qingyun has only been married for three days, are you so impatient?"
"Why are you so ignorant? The Bai family and the Zheng family have business dealings, and Madam Zheng was very angry about this matter today."
"Zhu Zhengjun is usually impatient, but he is never as ignorant as you."
The other party actually praised Zhu Zhengjun and said that Zhu Zhengjun was more sensible than himself?
It's so ridiculous.
You should know that in Mrs. Bai's eyes, Zhu Zhengjun was a stubborn and unreasonable shrew.
Mr. Lin took a deep breath and said calmly, "You and Rui'er both blame me, but what did I do wrong? Isn't it normal for a new husband to serve his father?"
"Madam, you chose such an ugly husband for Rui'er. Don't you feel guilty towards Rui'er?"
"Then Zhen Beiling should be Rui'er's legitimate husband. You clearly promised me at the beginning, but you still watched Zhen Beiling being snatched away."
Yes.
At first, Mrs. Bai actually agreed.
Let Bai Rui and Zhen Beiling be together.
But the Duke didn't like Bai Rui. Bai Rui was a fool at that time.
Mrs. Bai did feel guilty at first, but now facing Mr. Lin's self-righteousness, she was left with only disappointment.
"You actually come to accuse me of something?"
"I can not."
Mr. Lin didn't dare to speak any more.
But he still stood tall and refused to bow his head. He didn't think he was wrong. It was natural for the younger generation to be filial to the elders.
"You are really hopeless. Be careful not to disappoint Rui'er."
Mrs. Bai gave a kind reminder, but Mr. Lin obviously didn't take it to heart.
Bai Rui still went to pick Zheng Qingyun up, and the two seemed to have untied their misunderstandings and got along better.
With the help of Zheng Qingyun, Bai Rui started to prepare to open her own shop, which surprised Mrs. Bai.
But Mr. Lin was very unhappy.
"My Rui'er is also a lady of the Bai Mansion. She should have a share of the family property. Why should she earn it herself?"
"Zheng Qingyun must be behind this. He is just a merchant's son, and he wants to seduce my Rui'er to give up the Bai family's property."
Zheng Qingyun did ask Bai Rui to give up the family property.
Because he had carefully analyzed the Bai Mansion and realized that Mr. Lin was not the legal husband, and Bai Rui was neither the legitimate daughter nor the eldest daughter. If the truth were to be told, it would not be her turn to inherit the Bai Mansion's property.
Instead of expecting others to give you something, it is better to find ways to earn it yourself. What you get with your own hands is what you can feel most at ease with.
After listening to Zheng Qingyun's analysis, Bai Rui's eyes lit up.
"Qingyun, you really hit the nail on the head. I didn't want to compete with my two sisters, but my father kept trying to persuade me."
Zheng Qingyun smiled faintly, which made Bai Rui dazed. Others thought that Zheng Qingyun was ugly and too masculine.
But Bai Rui didn't feel that way at all. She thought that a real man should be like this. It was so handsome.
Zheng Qingyun took out her dowry and said, "I am willing to support you in giving it a try. Whether you win or lose, I am willing to stand by you."
Without the twists and turns in the plot, Bai Rui would have accepted Zheng Qingyun earlier.
But at this time, Mr. Lin acted up again. He actually bought a few charming men and stuffed them into Bai Rui and Zheng Qingyun's yard.
