Chapter 1827: Chapter 1827: Exposed and Confronted

Bai Ruozhu felt some headache; she originally wanted to keep it a secret, but now that’s changed, her parents both objected.

She definitely can’t confront her parents directly, especially since her mother is pregnant and hasn’t passed the first three months. How could she possibly let her mother get upset?

At a loss, Bai Ruozhu began to cry, her crying was heart-wrenching, which frightened Lin Pinger and Bai Yihong terribly.

”Ruozhu, don’t cry, let’s talk it over.” Lin Pinger stopped scolding her daughter.

”Yes, daughter, crying is bad for your health, you’re not alone now.” Bai Yihong chimed in.

Jiao Ling watched with pity and shook his head slightly at Fen Jiu, indicating they shouldn’t say much, letting the Bai Family resolve it themselves.

”Father, Mother, I know others can rescue Achun, but if anything goes wrong, I won’t be able to forgive myself for life! Even if I don’t go, I can’t have peace of mind daily, excessive worrying is also bad for the fetus. I really fear that they will not see their father after birth; how pitiful is a child without a dad!” Bai Ruozhu cried as she spoke.

”What about Little Dengdeng? His father is already in danger, if his mother runs into trouble, what will happen to him, such a small child?” Lin Pinger spoke with trembling lips, afraid to imagine what might happen if something were to befall her daughter.

Bai Ruozhu looked towards Jiao Ling for help and said, ”I beg Aunt and Uncle to accompany me; with these two experts, I will certainly be safe.”

Lin Pinger looked at Jiao Ling and Fen Jiu, Jiao Ling hesitated for a moment and said, ”I’ve noticed Ruozhu’s been in low spirits these days, eating poorly and sleeping badly. If forced to stay, she may be less at ease, harming her health. Fen Jiu and I aren’t skilled in other matters, but we are proficient in martial arts and the mechanical technique; we will certainly protect Ruozhu, ensuring she suffers no harm.”

Bai Ruozhu looked at her gratefully, ”Thank you, Aunt.”

Lin Pinger shook her head vigorously, ”Even so, I can’t let you go, you’re my only daughter, I’m not comfortable with it!”

Jiao Ling gently said, ”If Fen Jiu were in danger, I would also risk everything to rescue him. I believe the sister-in-law would do the same; let’s try to understand Ruozhu.”

Fen Jiu, standing by, muttered internally that he would never be in danger, but hearing Lingdang say she would risk everything to save him delighted him immensely. Come what may, let danger come.

Lin Pinger stood stunned, if something happened to Bai Yihong, she too would risk everything to save him, otherwise, she would never be at peace and would feel ashamed facing the children.

Isn’t this what Ruozhu is thinking?

Thinking this, Lin Pinger cried even more fiercely, feeling dizzy and swaying slightly.

Bai Ruozhu was alarmed, ”Mother, stop crying, let’s go home first.”

Looking at her mother’s pallid face, Bai Ruozhu felt truly unfilial, but she couldn’t ignore Achun. What should she do?

The group hurried into the horse carriage, Lin Pinger had come earlier by horse carriage, so Bai Ruozhu and her family sat in one, while Jiao Ling and Fen Jiu sat in another, rushing back to the Bai Family.

In the carriage, Lin Pinger fainted from exhaustion, and when they arrived at home Bai Yihong carried her inside, shocking Bai Zehao’s couple and exacerbating Bai Ruozhu’s guilt.

Fortunately, Lin Pinger woke nearly four hours later, looking at her daughter with dark eyes keeping vigil by her bed, she said compassionately, ”Ruozhu, you’re right, you may go, but make sure to protect yourself.”

Bai Ruozhu didn’t expect her mother to suddenly agree. She was excited and cried again, ”Mother, thank you for understanding me. Concentrate on getting better, don’t worry about me, I’ll be there for my younger brother or sister’s birth.”

”It must be a sister, I prefer daughters.” Lin Pinger said sniffing.

Bai Ruozhu smiled too, ”I also prefer daughters; in fact, I would love it to be two daughters.”

Mother and daughter laughed together, just then Bai Yihong entered with medicine and seeing them, he felt relieved.

”Ruozhu, go tell your Aunt that we’ll need their help later.” Lin Pinger instructed.

Bai Ruozhu got up to leave, and Lin Pinger explained her decision to Bai Yihong, persuading him, and eventually, Bai Yihong agreed.

But they couldn’t help feeling sentimental together, thinking that life was getting better but the troubles were increasing, uncertain when peace would come.

”The world is in chaos, both East and West are about to go to war, where is there peace?” Bai Yihong remarked.

”It’s all because King Rui causes unrest, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many troublesome matters.” Lin Pinger sighed.

Bai Ruozhu went to the backyard to find Jiao Ling and Fen Jiu, but halfway, she suddenly heard Gai Yalai’s scream, she frowned, what mischief is Gai Yalai up to again?

”Jianqi, send someone to check it out.” Bai Ruozhu ordered.

After speaking, she continued toward Jiao Ling, not planning to personally look into Gai Yalai’s matter; she had no time to care about Gai Ya now.

Jianqi sent for someone to investigate, but following behind Bai Ruozhu he opened his mouth, ultimately saying nothing.

Bai Ruozhu suddenly halted, ”No, better go check, she must come to the Barbarian Clan with us, now’s not the time for her issues.”

After speaking, she walked quickly towards Gai Yalai’s yard, only to spot high-ranking dark guards encircling some people from afar, among them Gao Zhou masquerading as a divine sage, and Lyu beside the emperor!

Bai Ruozhu instantly understood the situation, her lips shook with anger, she used her martial skill to reach Gao Zhou, saying, ”Oh, you intend to leave me behind and take people to the Barbarian Clan yourselves? Let’s see if you manage to leave today!”

Saying so, she moved her fingertips slightly, she was truly enraged, otherwise she wouldn’t easily use poison before Lyu, she didn’t want the Emperor to know too much of her abilities.

”Girl, calm down, don’t use poison hastily, you’re pregnant—it’s not good for the fetus!” Gao Zhou exclaimed in shock.

”Don’t tell me what’s good or not! If I wake tomorrow to find you’ve left, I’ll either chase you furiously or be utterly infuriated by you. Is that what you call doing me good?” She questioned loudly.

Though she was angry, she was careful not to joke with the baby in her belly. Still, she didn’t want to explain this to Gao Zhou, feeling he had deceived her.

”This journey is too dangerous and truly unsuitable for a pregnant woman.” Gao Zhou said stomping his foot, ”The Barbarian Clan has many unknown evil techniques, some targeting pregnant women and foetuses. I truly fear they might act desperately against you.”

”So do you think if I don’t go, it’s a favor to me? Or do you think that without you, your trip will be foolproof? If anything happens to you, won’t I feel guilt and remorse? Missing the chance to save people, later what should be done?” Bai Ruozhu questioned loudly.
