Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

Chapter 146 The child has grown up

Chu Yunchuan then curved his eyebrows and said, "There's more in the pot. I'll serve you more after you finish drinking."

"have you eaten?"

"Eat it right away." Chu Yunchuan took Bai Zhi's bowl, raised his head and drank the remaining porridge in one gulp. Bai Zhi didn't have time to stop him, so she could only laugh and said, "Why are you trying to grab the food... You're not injured, why are you drinking porridge with me? Don't you mind that it's not vegetarian?"

"Hmm..." Chu Yunchuan smacked his lips twice, "It's indeed vegetarian. The broth tastes too bland... I'll make the broth thicker next time."

"I'll eat it any way you cook it. I'm not picky." Bai Zhi stretched out her hand, "Qian Sui, another bowl, please."

Chu Yunchuan immediately picked up his clothes and rushed out to get some porridge. Bai Zhi's butt was numb from sitting so hard that she turned around and put her pillow upright against the head of the bed, swarming over like a big bug.

Unexpectedly, just as she leaned back, Chu Yunchuan came back with a bowl of porridge.

Bai Zhi was stunned: "...You flew over there?"

"I asked someone to build a stove in the yard, and the porridge was cooked there." Chu Yunchuan used a small porcelain spoon to scoop the hot porridge up and down so that the porridge would cool down quickly enough to be eaten.

White mist rolls up. It's a cold winter night outside, but the kang is warm inside.

Bai Zhi was in a good mood and asked Chu Yunchuan, "Setting up a stove in the yard? What's going on?"

"This way I can keep you safe."

"Pfft." Bai Zhi laughed, "Aren't all the assassins caught?"

Chu Yunchuan's hand that was drying the porridge froze for a moment, and then he said as usual: "Just in case."

"..." Bai Zhi's expression darkened, "Is the assassin a barbarian?"

"Yes." Chu Yunchuan scooped up a spoonful of porridge and fed it to Bai Zhi's mouth, then suddenly smiled and said, "But the barbarians have always been afraid of the dark night. I think they can only pick this person who dares to assassinate at night."

Bai Zhi took a mouthful of the porridge, chewed the porridge grains and said hesitantly: "Is there such a saying?"

"It's absolutely true." Chu Yunchuan said, "The barbarians believe in the sun god and think that the night is a filthy place. After nightfall, the barbarians will not walk outside."

"No wonder I felt that the assassin didn't look like an experienced one. It turns out he was afraid of the dark..." Bai Zhi drank her porridge mouthful after mouthful. Noticing that it was already dark outside, she suddenly scratched her head and asked, "Are Qiaoqiao and Chuqi back?"

"They came back when you were asleep. Qiaoqiao insisted on seeing you. I promised to call her when you woke up. I have already given the order." Chu Yunchuan saw that Bai Zhi was distressed, so he took her hand and comforted her. "After they found out, they treated me the same as before. Besides, I have already explained it to you. You kept it a secret because you were afraid that they would be constrained."

Bai Zhi's eyes lit up: "Really? They didn't say anything?"

"He didn't say anything to me."

"I always have a bad feeling, especially about Qiaoqiao..."

Speak of the devil, Qiaoqiao burst into the room, rushed to the bed in two steps, and choked up, "Sister, you're awake! You're finally awake!"

Lin Chuqi rushed over immediately, looking at Bai Zhi with trembling big eyes, without saying a word.

Later, Lin Ruogui walked into the house and closed the door, sweeping away the cold wind.

The house, which was not big to begin with, now seemed very crowded.

However, after escaping death, the family huddled together, and in this crowd there was a hint of New Year's liveliness.

"Are you still in pain anywhere? How is the wound on your chest? I woke up early that morning and heard that you almost died last night. I was scared to death. I told mom that no matter what happens, you must tell me and Chuqi, even if it's in the middle of the night to wake us up!" Qiaoqiao kept talking like a machine gun. She wanted to reach out to pull off Baizhi's clothes to see how the wound was, but she was afraid of hurting Baizhi, so she didn't dare to touch the layers of gauze inside.

Bai Zhi smiled with her eyes curved, and pinched Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi's cold cheeks: "What do you mean you almost died? Who said that? I'm fine. It's just a minor injury. If you hadn't called a doctor later, I would have recovered by myself."

It was too exaggerated. Chu Yunchuan coughed heavily.

Qiaoqiao got angry when she saw Baizhi's nonchalant attitude, and said with tears in her eyes, "Stop talking nonsense! During the two days you were unconscious, your face was so pale that there was no color at all!"

Bai Zhi failed to comfort the woman and was exposed instead. Knowing she was in the wrong, she just blinked and said nothing.

Lin Chuqi slapped Qiaoqiao and said, "Keep your voice down. Sister is still recovering from her injuries."

Qiaoqiao then closed her mouth, held Baizhi's hand and half-lay beside her, and finally held back her tears.

"We are not afraid of assassins, we are not afraid of seeing you injured, and we are not afraid of seeing blood." Lin Chuqi said softly, "But we are afraid of not knowing anything and being excluded. That night, an assassin came in and my sister was seriously injured. We found something wrong and asked mother about it. Only then did she say that it was her fault."

Lin Ruogui lowered her eyes and listened quietly. She had been scolded by the two children the day before yesterday, and she had already reflected on it.

"And you, sister." Lin Chuqi looked at Chu Yunchuan with gratitude. "Brother Yun is King Jing. You should have told us earlier. If mother was not here when the assassins attacked at night, Qiaoqiao and I would not have known that we could call on King Jing for help. We can't get any help from heaven or earth. What should we do?"

Thinking that Bai Zhi might lose her life because of this stupid mistake, Qiaoqiao was so scared that she was furious. She bit her lip and said, "We have both grown up and passed the imperial examination. Sister, mother, you can't always... can't always treat us as children. Have you ever seen a child who can pass the imperial examination? Tell us if you have anything to say!"

Seeing this scene, Bai Zhi was deeply touched.

From teaching them to read in the Marquis's Mansion, to raising two children till now, she almost forgot that even the youngest children will grow up one day. The ideas that she made on her own may not necessarily be good for them.

I never know when the young bird will be able to soar into the sky.

"Okay." Bai Zhi touched Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi's foreheads and said softly, "This is my fault. I will remember everything you said."

Qiaoqiao muttered: "That's more like it..."

The two scholars asked a few more nonsense questions. Seeing that Bai Zhi was tired, Lin Ruogui interrupted them and took the two scholars out in the name of letting Bai Zhi have a good rest.

"Mom," Bai Zhi called Lin Ruogui, "I have something to tell you. Qiaoqiao, Chuqi, you two should go back to the house first."

The two scholars paused, and Qiaoqiao glared at them: "Just now you said you remembered it!"

"..." Bai Zhi choked, "This shouldn't count..."

"Say it!"

"Okay, okay." Bai Zhi turned to look at Lin Ruogui and said seriously, "Mother, from the last time you were wronged to this assassination, the barbarians are determined to pull you down from the position of county magistrate... Do you have to continue to be the county magistrate?"

"The position of county magistrate is tempting, I have already guessed this." Lin Ruogui smiled and shook his head gently, "Azhi, if I advance, the people will live, if I retreat, the people will die."
