Quick Wear: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 357 Partial Mother

"Father, mother treated you well at first, but she has become distant over the years. No matter how noisy you are, she always goes to Mr. Lin's yard. Haven't you ever thought about this problem?"

Zhu Zhengjun still refused to admit his problem.

He took a deep breath and said, "Your mother still has me in her heart, otherwise why would she let me be the legitimate ruler?"

It's obvious that he's in love, and he's thinking that Mrs. Bai likes him.

Xianxian didn't want to say something too harsh, but if she said it well, it would stop Zhu Zhengjun from thinking about it.

He only thought about competing with Mr. Lin.

No matter how bad Zhu Zhengjun is, he truly loves his original self, and Xianxian really doesn't want to see him go astray.

Xianxian simply gritted her teeth and said to Zhu Zhengjun, "You are just stupid. She is only after your money, father. Don't you think about how far the Bai family has come?"

"The Bai family originally went with us to engage in maritime trade, but they encountered a big typhoon and all the goods on the ship were lost."

"There was no funding to fill the hole, and that was exactly when we needed money. By then, Wang Zhengjun had been dead for two years."

"But my mother has never been willing to marry again because she wants to marry Mr. Lin. However, Mr. Lin is not of high status. He is just an orphan and cannot bring any help to the Bai family."

"When my grandmother was alive, she didn't want her to marry Mr. Lin, so she arranged a marriage between you and mother."

"You came to the mansion with a dowry and money to help the Bai family through the difficult times. She has been pampering Mr. Lin over and over again over the years. Why can't you wake up?"

These things were not heard by the original body, but were found out by Bai Rui after some inquiries in the plot.

At that time, she was also impressed by Mrs. Bai's deep affection for Mr. Lin, and took the opportunity to help her father to get married.

How could Zhu Zhengjun not know about these things over the years?

Even if he heard it, he would pretend not to hear it and was just playing dumb.

Zhu Zhengjun lowered his eyes and stared at the ground, but the movement of his hands revealed the pain in his heart.

The handkerchief was almost torn to pieces by him.

His voice was a little depressed, "Shuangshuang, how could your mother..."

Xianxian interrupted directly, "Why not?"

"Mother would look for you whenever she needed her. When you and Mr. Lin were at odds, did she ever say a word to help you? Didn't she always make you feel wronged when you came and left?"

"And about my elder sister. Over the years, my elder sister has treated you as her own father. Why do you dislike Mr. Lin?"

Whether in the plot or in her original body's memory, Bai Mei hates Lin Langjun and Bai Rui very much.

Because Mr. Lin was the third party, he had already had an affair with Mrs. Bai when Wang Zhengjun was still alive.

At the beginning, Lin Langjun was just a concubine. When Wang Zhengjun was pregnant, she accidentally saw the two of them having an affair and died in childbirth due to anger.

It would be more accurate to say that Bai Mei hated the father and daughter rather than hated them. In the plot, Bai Mei wanted to kill them both and die together with them, but unfortunately she fell off a cliff and died.

Originally Bai Mei didn't want to kill them, but when she knew that Madam Bai wanted to make Lin Langjun her legal wife, she could no longer suppress her anger and hatred.

Zhu Zhengjun pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xianxian continued, "Because Mr. Lin had an affair with my mother, and was accidentally caught by Wang Zhengjun, Wang Zhengjun died during childbirth. Premature childbirth is difficult for men. Father, you should be more sober."

"If she can treat Wang Zhengjun like this, she can do the same to you one day."

"Do not."

Zhu Zhengjun shook his head with a pale face, unwilling to accept Xianxian's statement.

"How could that be? Your mother is not that kind of person. She can treat Wang Zhengjun like this, but that doesn't mean she will treat me like this."

"I have given Bai Mei two-thirds of my dowry over the years, and I treat her like my own daughter. How could she abandon me after I have done what I have done?"

"Father, please wake up. It's better to rely on me than on her."

Looking at his daughter's bright eyes, Zhu Zhengjun said nothing with red eyes.

It is obvious that he has not given up, but as time goes by, he will eventually accept the reality.

Xianxian sighed and picked up her handkerchief to wipe his tears.

"Don't cry, father. Your daughter is going to start a family soon. If you go out with red eyes, people will think you have suffered some great injustice, and your daughter won't be able to explain herself then."

Zhu Zhengjun, who was originally crying, stopped crying immediately, but tears were still on his face, making him look inexplicably innocent and weak.

He sniffed and wiped away his tears.

"Yes, today is your good day. As a father, I cannot cry."

Seeing the other person wiping tears in a hurry, Xianxian couldn't help but envy the original body. Zhu Zhengjun gave his love unconditionally to the original body.

"Zheng Jun, Second Miss, Madam is already waiting in the front yard."

The servant outside spoke up to remind them.

Xianxian looked at Zhu Zhengjun and nodded, "Don't worry, father. You don't seem to have cried anymore. You are still as handsome as ever. Let's go out quickly and don't let mother wait anxiously."

"it is good."

The father and daughter hurried towards the front yard. Along the way, Xianxian was distractedly looking at the Bai family's house.

As expected of a famous rich man, this house is very nicely built.

Along the way, Zhu Zhengjun looked in the mirror from time to time, fearing that others would notice that he had just cried.

Finally, the two arrived at the front yard. Before Xianxian could step forward to salute, Mrs. Bai's face had already turned cold.

"You and your daughter are truly noble people. The whole mansion is waiting for you."

Zhu Zhengjun's expression froze, but he still did not forget to salute.

"Please forgive me, ma'am. I was feeling a little unwell and was delayed on my way here."

Xianxian bowed to Madam Bai, "Mother."

"Get up, today is a big day, and you are still late."

Not far away, there were two young men with their faces covered, exuding an indescribable sense of mystery, but they were tall and must have good looks.

Xianxian remembered that Zhen Beiling was extremely beautiful.

He is more refined and clean looking.

Anyone who has met him will have a sense of cleanliness.

Zheng Qingyun is different. His facial curves are hard and do not conform to the aesthetic standards of this world.

In this world, only handsome and slim men can meet women's requirements for mates.

Or they may be round and smooth, which shows that the person is blessed, or good at giving birth.

Zheng Qingyun is already twenty years old and is an old man who cannot get married.

"Bai Shuang, Bai Rui, come and meet the Duke and Madam Zheng."

Xianxian stood up and saluted to the two of them. Her movements were graceful and polite, and the two ladies were dazzled.

"This is the second daughter of the Bai family, right? She is really pretty."

"correct."

The Duke and Madam Zheng nodded in satisfaction.

Mr. Lin, who was sitting not far away, paused.

Because Bai Rui was counting ants with her head down, she was not ready to stand up and salute.

The maidservant who was serving her couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped forward and leaned into Bai Rui's ear to remind her, "Miss San, it's your turn to pay respect to the Duke and Madam Zheng."

Maybe because I didn't see what was below, I accidentally stepped on two ants.

Bai Rui was stunned at first, and then burst into tears.

"No, no, you actually stepped on my ants. Woohoo, you stepped on the ants to death. Don't play. It's not fun. You have to compensate me for my ants..."

The whole yard was filled with Bai Rui's crying.

She also smashes things, just like a child.

Listen to the noisy sounds around me.

The Duke and Madam Zheng frowned slightly.

There is no rumor in the outside world that Third Miss Bai is a fool.

Seeing that Bai Rui was out of control, Mrs. Bai felt that she could no longer save face.

Zhu Zhengjun was just about to open his mouth to make a few sarcastic remarks to embarrass Lin Langjun.

Unexpectedly, Xianxian had predicted his thoughts in advance and just gently pulled his sleeve, which brought him back to his senses.

She whispered in Zhu Zhengjun's ear, "Father, have you forgotten your daughter's instructions? Remember not to act impulsively. If you want to hold your granddaughter, you must endure it."

Zhu Zhengjun, who always liked to take advantage of others' misfortunes, immediately lost his spirit.

He looked at Xianxian, and finally swallowed back all the vicious words in his heart.

Forget it, let’s let these father and daughter go today.

Only Xianxian knows best about Mr. Lin's methods.

Don't underestimate the cold and aloof Mr. Lin. In fact, he is as scheming as anyone else.

If Zhu Zhengjun spoke without thinking at this time, he would only become a target of Lin Langjun's exploits.

In the plot, Bai Rui also made a scene like this, and Zhu Zhengjun didn't care about the occasion at that time.

She started by mocking Bai Rui as a fool, and said that Mr. Lin was really crazy to find a husband for a fool. Wouldn't that be a burden to others?

At this time, Mr. Lin simply said one sentence and easily put the blame on Zhu Zhengjun.

It was an insinuation that he was narrow-minded and didn't want the Bai family's concubine's daughter to marry and have children.

The ones who came to the mansion today were the Duke and Madam Zheng.

Wait until they go back.

I'm afraid Zhu Zhengjun's reputation for being sarcastic and mean has also spread.

Because he was at a disadvantage, Zhu Zhengjun became unhappy again.

He actually ignored his status and started arguing with Mr. Lin.

Now everyone's attention was focused on Zhu Zhengjun, and Bai Rui had calmed down at this time.

Mrs. Bai naturally spoke up for Mr. Lin.

Just a few words changed the two ladies' impressions of Mr. Lin and his daughter.

Zhu Zhengjun continued to make trouble, showing his unreasonable side.

Mr. Lin spoke clearly, and every word sounded like pearls.

He even described his daughter as a simple and innocent child.

At this time, the Duke and Madam Zheng felt that Bai Rui was not bad. At least she had a pure heart.

I'm afraid my son will not be wronged if he marries into the Bai family in the future. Compared to the unreasonable mother-in-law, Mr. Lin is easier to get along with.

But this time, Zhu Zhengjun was stopped from talking by himself, so naturally he couldn't be diverted.

Madam Bai looked at the Duke and Madam Zheng with embarrassment.

"I am such a naive little girl, I really make you laugh."

The two looked at each other and picked up their teacups without saying anything.

This is not only embarrassing, it is a huge joke.

Their son is at least handsome.

But why would I want to meet such a person?

Looking at his daughter who kept crying, Mr. Lin was very worried.

He walked up to Bai Rui and coaxed her, "Don't make a fuss, my daughter. Today is a good day for you. Don't you want to marry a husband to play with you?"

I heard Mr. Lin ask me to marry a husband to play with him.

At this time Bai Rui stopped crying, sniffed her nose, looked at Lin Langjun blankly and asked.

"Can my husband really play with me? Can I let him ride my horse?"

Riding a big horse?

You can really say that.

Zhu Zhengjun almost couldn't suppress his laughter.

Didn’t you see that the Duke and Madam Zheng both had expressions of disapproval on their faces?

But Mr. Lin's attention was all on his daughter.

"Of course, as long as my daughter is well behaved and doesn't cry, this is to help you find a husband, and then let your husband play with you."

"Okay, then I won't cry."

Bai Rui wiped her nose and nodded vigorously.

Seeing that his daughter was finally coaxed by him, Mr. Lin turned around and saw the embarrassment of the Duke and Madam Zheng. The two said nothing, but their eyes were avoiding him.

Who would want to let their son marry a fool?

Mr. Lin's face turned pale, and he knew that he might have gotten into trouble.

But Mrs. Bai was still protecting him at this time.

"Come back and sit down, let's discuss the marriage."

Mr. Lin is indeed handsome, with a pair of phoenix eyes that are indescribably cold. He also particularly likes cold-colored clothes, which makes him look like a banished immortal.

But Bai Rui did not inherit her beauty, but inherited Mrs. Bai's appearance.

Only the nose and mouth look like Lin Langjun.

Zhu Zhengjun had a smile on his face, looking as if he was watching a joke.

But he didn't forget his work.

"Madam, Shuangshuang was born earlier than Bairui. Logically, Shuangshuang should be allowed to choose first, right?"

Mrs. Bai was already angry, but Zhu Zhengjun still wanted to bump into her to cause trouble.

Mrs. Bai vented all her anger on Zhu Zhengjun.

"What do you mean by election? What nonsense are you talking about? The Duke and Madam Zheng are both here. If there is any election, they will choose us."

Zhu Zhengjun, who was unwilling to suffer any loss, was about to retort, but Xianxian beside him immediately held his arm.

Just shaking his head slightly, Zhu Zhengjun suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth.

"Yes, everything is up to you, madam."

Anyone with a discerning eye present could see that Mrs. Bai was venting her anger on Zhu Zhengjun.

Even if what Zhu Zhengjun said was unpleasant, he wouldn't have scolded him like this.

The Duke came from a noble family and valued rules, so he felt that what Madam Bai did was a little inappropriate.

How could she scold her husband harshly in front of the guests?

Madam Bai said to Madam Guogong and Madam Zheng, "Which of your daughters do you like?"

Xianxian sat properly next to Zhu Zhengjun, facing the gazes of the two women calmly.

Mrs. Zheng's eyes rolled around, and she immediately pulled Zheng Qingyun aside to discuss something in a low voice.

The Duke's wife looked directly at Zhen Beiling beside her, and he leaned over and whispered in her ear.

Even though the Zheng family was indeed rich, they still didn't dare to compete with Duke Zhen.

The Duke smiled politely at Madam Bai and said, "Madam Bai, my son likes the second young lady of the Bai family more. I wonder if we can let them get along for a while?"

Mrs. Zheng on the side sighed softly. It seemed that both families had taken a fancy to Xianxian.

At this time, the heroine had not yet traveled through time, and Bai Rui was just a fool.
