Rebirth of the eldest daughter

The next day.

The disaster relief team set off from Liyang Town.

There were dozens of people in the team, including Liu Yao and a dozen officials, as well as dozens of guards.

Only the official surnamed Qin, who was still injured, and the official surnamed Qian, who was still injured due to being beaten with a stick, were left.

They have been deprived of all rights and remaining in Liyang Town will not affect the disaster relief process.

The group left very early and quietly.

Before leaving, Bai Mingwei specifically told them to be kind to the brother and sister they had saved, and repeatedly told Magistrate Hu to implement the regulations meticulously.

After Magistrate Hu's repeated assurances, she mounted her horse and left.

By the time the sleeping people woke up to greet the morning light, the team had already left Liyang Town.

On horseback, Bai Ming slightly looked back.

There is smoke rising from the kitchen in Liyang Town, and under the reflection of the morning light, it glows with a mysterious light like mist.

She stared at it for a while, then looked away.

Then she waved her whip, urging the horse to move forward.

Not long after, a fork in the road appeared ahead.

Seeing that the team was still moving forward on the official road, Meng Ziang, who had always been silent, said: "You can't follow the official road."

Because he is special and cannot contact anyone.

So he rode alone in a carriage.

The sudden sound startled Yu Jianling who was accompanying him: "You, can you say hello before you speak?"

Meng Ziang ignored it and repeated again: "You can't follow the official path."

Yu Jianling was confused: "This is the official road. The construction route of the official road is the result of thousands of choices. Even if there is a flood in Jiangbei, the official road is the safest. You just said you can't go. What's the reason?"

Bai Mingwei in front heard the movement and reined in the reins: "What's wrong?"

Yu Jianling replied loudly: "General, Mr. Meng said that you cannot follow the official path."

Bai Ming raised his eyes slightly and saw that the official road ahead was clear all the way, but the side roads were overgrown with weeds, and the dead branches and leaves washed by the heavy rain almost covered the entire road.

And the path twists and turns, extending deeper into the mountain.

It is still unknown whether the road ahead is still open, not to mention the landslides and mudslides that may be caused by heavy rain.

The trails are dangerous no matter how you look at them.

However, Bai Mingwei made the decision without hesitation: "Follow Mr. Meng's suggestion." Although Yu Jianling was puzzled by Bai Mingwei's decision, he did not comment.

And Liu Yao had no doubts from beginning to end.

The team soon entered the trail.

Bai Yu and Bai Mingwei walked side by side, looking at the increasingly narrow road, he whispered: "Mingwei, if I remember correctly, the map shows that the terrain ahead is special."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "That's true."

Bai Yu asked, "Why do you think Brother Meng led us down this path?"

Bai Mingwei looked forward, his expression slightly solemn: "I'm afraid Mr. Meng knows something we don't know. He must have his reasons for letting us take this path."

Bai Yu understood: "Don't doubt the people you employ, and don't trust the people you doubt. You'll know what's ahead when you walk in."

The siblings smiled at each other.

The team continued to move deeper into the winding and deep path.

……

at the same time.

Bai Xiuying and her party arrived at the Gao family in the south.

Although there were constant twists and turns along the way, there were two hundred secret guards guarding them, and the "Feng Qingchen" played by Ha Yi accompanied them.

Except for Bai Xiuying who suffered some skin injuries, the group finally arrived at their destination safely.

The current head of the Gao family, Gao Yuan, is the biological father of Gao Minrou, the third young lady of Baifu. He is the governor of Yunzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Gao family was nothing in Yujing City, where powerful people gathered, but in Yunzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, they were one of the most famous families.

The Gaofu mansion is not big, but it is very grand.

Several carriages landed in front of the spacious door, and they didn't feel crowded. This is very different from the fact that wealthy households in the capital have to walk through small alleys when going out.

Gao's brother-in-law, Gao Sheng, jumped out of the carriage first. Before he could get closer, the doorman was filled with surprise: "The young master is back! The young master is back! Go and inform the master!"

This joyful voice resounded in everyone's ears.

Gao Sheng has been in the Li family for many years, but he still has such respect from the servants, which shows his status in this family.

Seeing the servant turn around and enter the door, rushing towards the house, Gao Sheng looked helpless: "You bastard, please slow down."

Mr. Gao was still in the carriage and refused to get out of the carriage.

Compared to Jing Xiangqing's excitement and joy, she was more nervous and apprehensive.

Bai Xiuying put her hand on the back of her hand: "Sister-in-law, it's okay, I'm here."

Mrs. Gao opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Bai Xiuying held her hand tightly: "Third sister-in-law, you should be happy to be home."

Mrs. Gao suddenly held Bai Xiuying in her arms: "Sixth Miss...I..."

Bai Xiuying knew that the third sister-in-law didn't know how to face her parents.

She was loyal to her deceased husband and showed no regrets to the Bai family.

But news of her mother's serious illness came time and time again. She must have felt sorry for her mother when she delayed returning home until now.

The Gao family arranged a marriage for her, but she refused many times. She must have felt that this was disobeying her parents' orders, and she felt even more guilty.

Naturally, you will not be able to face your parents.

Bai Xiuying didn't know how to comfort her, so she just held her hand tightly: "Third sister-in-law, you are home. No matter what happened before, it is not more important than the reunion at this moment."

Mrs. Gao looked at Bai Xiuying's determined look, and finally opened the curtain and stepped out of the carriage on a low stool.

Her hand that lifted the curtain was still as gentle as the spring breeze in the south of the Yangtze River.

Every move and every move is filled with the beauty and elegance imbued by the mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

It's just that she is no longer the smiling girl she once was.

The plain clothes, the white jade hairpins on her temples, and the accumulated clouds of time between her eyebrows all showed that she was returning to her hometown, covered with wind and frost.

Bai Xiuying and Chun Yu followed her, never missing a step.

Gao Sheng was also very humble and told her with a smile: "Little sister, walk slowly, be careful not to fall."

He looks like a brother who loves his sister.

Mrs. Gao just smiled and nodded, and the brother and sister walked into Gao's mansion together.

The group of people walked around and soon arrived at the flower hall.

The servant who went to report did not bring any master, and only the old steward of the family greeted everyone.

He came over in a hurry, without even exchanging greetings, and went straight to the point: "Girl, you are back. Madam is looking forward to you. She will be happy to see you. Go see Madam quickly."

Mrs. Gao nodded slightly and then prepared to leave.

Bai Xiuying said quickly: "Third sister-in-law, I will go with you."

But it was Gao Sheng who stopped her: "Sixth girl, my mother hasn't seen my little sister for many years, so she must have a lot of personal things to say."

"Moreover, my mother is still ill. If there are guests present, not only will she not be able to have a good reunion with her little sister, but she will also be distracted to greet you, which is somewhat inconvenient."

Being blocked by Gao Sheng, Bai Xiuying became even more worried.

If Mrs. Gao misses her daughter so much, why is it that the person who comes to greet her is not the nanny who is waiting at her side, but the housekeeper of the Gao family?

Unless the housekeeper was at Mrs. Gao's place just now, it would be inappropriate for him to say this.

She always felt something was wrong.

But Gao Sheng's words made sense. Even if she and the third sister-in-law were a family, she would be a guest when she came to Gao Mansion.

How could she be so desperate to stay with her third sister-in-law?

This will not only embarrass the third sister-in-law, but also violate etiquette and make people look down upon and laugh.

Thinking about this, she became a little anxious.

If they did anything to the third sister-in-law, she wouldn't be able to take action right away!
