Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1357 It’s embarrassing to say it out loud
Lu Mingyu and Chang Sun Tao first came to visit Bai Li. At this time, his injuries had been treated and his body was covered with gauze, like a huge silkworm chrysalis.

Seeing that Brother Bai was like this and his adoptive mother didn't come over, Lu Mingyu couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought of the words that Brother Bai often talked about.

Changsun Tao saw her expression and knew what she was thinking: "Yan Yan, there is no doubt that Chenghe is her biological child."

Lu Mingyu smiled and said: "As a mother, I understand the adoptive mother. The adoptive father passed away early, leaving only their orphans and widowed mother to depend on each other."

"The adoptive mother has to support the family, so naturally she cannot spend too much thought on her son. She must feel ashamed of Brother Bai, so it is difficult to express her love for Brother Bai candidly."

"Over time, this kind of relationship has been created. Brother Bai must also understand his adoptive mother, otherwise he would not be so filial."

"It's just that Brother Bai should hope that his adoptive mother can praise him and express his cherishment and love for him in person."

Changsun Tao held her hand: "Don't think so much, Chenghe just needs scolding and beating."

Lu Mingyu smiled and said nothing. She roughly inspected Bai Li's injuries, and couldn't help but mutter: "Why is the injury so serious? This is not a trap, but it looks like it was robbed."

"Ugh……"

In another room, Jiang Jingqiu had already woken up. When Mrs. Bai asked about the details of the two people falling into the hole, she couldn't help but sigh.

What does this call her?
Jiang Jingqiu's hesitation had another meaning in Mrs. Bai's eyes. She thought something unspeakable had happened between the two of them, so she laughed from ear to ear.

She held Jiang Jingqiu's hand and asked questions, wishing she could kidnap the girl to be her daughter-in-law tonight.

Jiang Jingqiu was a little embarrassed. Mrs. Bai's enthusiasm made her unable to adapt. She took her hand out and wanted to open her mouth to explain, but she didn't know where to start.

Just because the reason why they fell into the trap is really difficult to explain.

But she really couldn't stand Mrs. Bai's ulterior gaze, so she finally bit the bullet and wanted to tell the truth: "Madam, it's not what you think."

But it was cut off by Mrs. Bai.

Mrs. Bai couldn't hide her smile: "Miss Jiang, don't be shy. I understand everything. I've been here too. This is how young people fall in love. What else can they see besides the other person? Naturally, they won't pay attention to the ground. The pit..."

Jiang Jingqiu held her forehead: "Mrs. Bai, there is no such thing as falling in love. The reason why we fell into the trap is because Mr. Ling..."

Mrs. Bai cut off the conversation again, with a look of relief on her face: "Did he take the initiative? Oops, this stupid idiot has finally figured it out."

Jiang Jingqiu pinched her eyebrows: "Mrs. Bai, things are really not what you think. In fact, they are..."

Mrs. Bai patted Jiang Jingqiu's hand: "Miss Jiang, you don't have to say anything, I understand everything. It's all that brat's fault. The girl was frightened. I'll teach him a lesson later."

"Mrs. Bai!" Seeing that the misunderstanding was getting deeper and deeper, Jiang Jingqiu couldn't help but raise her voice. Realizing that she had lost her temper, she tried her best to restrain herself, "Can you please listen to what I have to say?"

Mrs. Bai stared straight at Jiang Jingqiu with her eyes. She was satisfied no matter how she looked at her. How could she not be satisfied with such a trivial matter?

She immediately said with good temper: "Miss Jiang, please speak."

Jiang Jingqiu explained in detail: "This is actually what happened... Today when we were admiring flowers, Mr. Bai saw a small green insect on the leaf, and he was immediately frightened out of his wits."

Mrs. Bai smiled and stretched out her hand to stop Jiang Jingqiu from continuing: "Okay, I understand."

Jiang Jingqiu was full of doubts, what did Mrs. Bai know?

It was because he knew that Bai Li was frightened by the bug and rolled down the slope when he ran away in panic. In order to save him, he pulled him and fell into the pit.Or does he know that his son is afraid of bugs?
Mrs. Bai covered her face, feeling that her face had been completely humiliated by this useless son.

I originally thought that this brat would have a happy ending, but in the end, not only did he not get any, but he ruined the opportunity he had finally obtained.

The fact that a grown man was afraid of bugs was exposed in front of a girl, and she, the person who arranged it, felt that she couldn't bear it in her face.

Even if the girl dislikes him, she has nothing to say. Who can let her son fail?
Seeing that Madam Bai didn't look good, Jiang Jingqiu became more and more confused: "Mrs. Bai, what's wrong with you?"

This time it was Mrs. Bai's turn to sigh: "Why is it so difficult to marry a daughter-in-law?"

Jiang Jingqiu tilted her head and was very puzzled: "Didn't Young Master Bai already have nine beautiful concubines? Madam, I see that you are not a picky person. There should be women suitable to be young ladies in these concubines."

"Madam, you are so eager to have a daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be nice to just pick one of them?"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bai sighed even deeper: "Miss Jiang, you don't know something. The nine-room concubine is actually... alas, it's all the fault of this bastard."

Jiang Jingqiu's expression changed, wondering what evil Bai Li had done.

Could it be that they took possession of women from good families, or that they took away maids in the house at will when they were still young? Therefore, the origins of these concubines are not very honorable, and they cannot be legitimate wives, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Jingqiu got goosebumps all over her body.

Mrs. Bai quickly explained: "Miss Jiang, don't get me wrong, Chenghe is not that kind of person."

Jiang Jingqiu frowned: "Is there something hidden?"

Mrs. Bai nodded and began to talk about the origins of this nine-room concubine: "Chenghe was still young at that time. He was doing business for the first time and had not yet developed a heart as cold as iron."

"The owners of some shops failed because of business failure, the turnover of the shop was not good, and the debts owed could not be paid. In order not to push people into desperation, he agreed to use people to pay off the debts."

"The girls who are sent here to pay debts are basically poor people. They are either unfavored concubines at home, betrayed by their brothers and sisters, or have a mercenary father. They are all people who are forced to live. "

"If Chenghe hadn't taken them in at that time, you can imagine their fate. They would have been sold to someone long ago to exchange for money to pay off their debts."

Jiang Jingqiu was shocked: "So, this nine-bedroom concubine is fake?"

Mrs. Bai nodded: "The men in our Bai family are all infatuated. His father has only one woman in his life: me. With such a father, how can he be a lecher?"

Jiang Jingqiu was puzzled: "Then why he never explained that he took nine concubines and waited at home before they were married. He would be maliciously speculated and said that he acted ridiculously because of sex, right?"

Mrs. Bai shook her head: "You can't tell outsiders one by one. Although he has no feelings for these women, he still has to protect their reputation."

Jiang Jingqiu completely overturned the perception: "So, the beautiful concubine of the Nine Fangs only has good food and drink at home, but not..."

Mrs. Bai nodded: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so anxious. Our Bai family has very few heirs. As long as we can leave a heir for the Bai family, I don't mind having a direct descendant."

After hearing Madam Bai's words, Jiang Jingqiu did not speak.

The Bai family's affairs, in the final analysis, are Bai Li's affairs. It is not convenient for her to express her opinion at will, and there is no room for her to comment.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bai was very direct: "Miss Jiang, what do you think of my family Chenghe? As long as you say yes, I will come to propose marriage tomorrow!"
