Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1371 The mother's identity is of great importance
This question made Xiao Chongyuan stunned for a long time.

He was struck by lightning and stood still.

After a long time, he spoke.

But the voice had become extremely difficult: "I have never thought about this question, never."

He had always felt that this outcome could be avoided.

So he never thought that this day would come.

Or rather, he never thought that this day would come.

More importantly, he didn't dare to think about it at all.

He was very strong. He endured so many difficult years alone to avenge his parents and relatives. Every step was extremely difficult.

He was also very fragile, so fragile that he couldn't bear the loss.

If he loses even the thing he wants to protect the most, how will he survive in the days ahead?
He dared not think.

In this respect, he is cowardly.

Too cowardly to even think about it.

His answer caused both of them to fall silent.

After a long while, he spoke again: "If you leave first, I will live well. I will help you take care of the Bai Mansion and help you arrange for Wei Xiao and Jiang Ci."

"I will do my best to protect the Dongling country and the people you protect, and prevent it from being torn apart and becoming a purgatory on earth."

"I will take care of all the aftermath for you until someone can take up your burdens, so that you can rest in peace without worrying about your surviving relatives and friends, and without worrying about unfinished business."

Bai Mingwei was not surprised at all by Xiao Chongyuan's answer.

But it was this answer that made her feel uncomfortable.

If you are healthy and live a good life, even if you cannot get married right away, just occasionally accompanying each other can be a kind of spiritual comfort.

But if they were separated forever, all she could imagine was this man living alone in the world, trying his best to fix the mess she left behind.

Until such a brilliant and extraordinary person was forced to become a frail old man like her grandfather.

Then, when they get old and can no longer do things, they are replaced and targeted, and finally end up with a miserable ending.

Or maybe, they died early in the war of this chaotic world, became a chess piece that drove the world's development, and were forgotten in the torrent of history years later.

Thinking of this, Bai Mingwei felt very uncomfortable.

She stared at Xiao Chongyuan and said seriously, "Chongyuan, I want you to promise me that if anything happens to me, you must live well and put yourself first in everything."

"I would rather you do what you like and go to southern Xinjiang to find a doctor to cure your eye disease. If you want to stay in the court, then create a stable world for your people."

"If you want to express your feelings in the mountains and rivers, please help me take a good look at those mountains, rivers and lakes that I have never seen and never stopped to appreciate. Otherwise, I will be worried."

Xiao Chongyuan was silent for a long time, then suddenly reached out and gently patted Bai Mingwei's head: "That kind of thing won't happen, believe me."

Bai Mingwei remained silent stubbornly.

This was the first time she had discussed this issue seriously with Chongyuan. She wanted to make it clear all at once and express her thoughts to Chongyuan.

She didn't want to drag it out and then dwell on this issue many times.

She wanted to tell Chongyuan that she hoped Chongyuan would be happy.

Just as Chongyuan hopes that she will be happy.

Feeling her serious attitude, Xiao Chongyuan withdrew his hand, and then told Bai Mingwei very solemnly:

"I promise you that I will only do things that make me happy and joyful." Hearing this answer, Bai Mingwei sighed.

She knew that no matter what her wish was, if she died first, this man who always put her first would definitely help her clean up the mess.

There is no way to change this.

So she no longer forced Xiao Chongyuan to accept her ideas.

Just as Xiao Chongyuan had never forced her to change her mind.

So she changed the subject: "Tonight's meal is very delicious, I like it."

Xiao Chongyuan took the opportunity to stop talking about the heavy topic: "People will encounter seven disasters and eight difficulties when they eat grains. Therefore, cooking and the art of medicine are very important."

"It's a pity that I can't calm down and study the art of medicine. I only know some pharmacology, but if I apply this knowledge to cooking, the effect is obvious."

Bai Ming smiled and said, "It just so happens that I am not good at either of them."

Xiao Chongyuan raised his lips and said, "You can ask a doctor for the art of Qi Huang. As for the three meals, I am enough. You don't need to be good at it."

Bai Mingwei did not respond.

The two walked side by side on the uneven cobblestones.

The lanterns not far away fluttered in the wind, stretching the two people's shadows.

Suddenly, Bai Mingwei spoke again and raised a question: "Do you remember that we once suspected that the Drunken Monk was related to Southern Qi?"

Xiao Chongyuan nodded: "I remember, he should have fled to Dongling during the civil strife in Southern Qi."

Bai Mingwei said, "This time, in order to check Fan Zhongqian's account and trace the traces of Fan Zhongqian hiding and transferring the stolen money, I had no choice but to use the seal of Jinzhaozui Dongjia and threatened to take out all the deposits. I made a deal with the people of Yufeng Money House and only then did I get the evidence of Fan Zhongqian."

Xiao Chongyuan asked: "During this process, did you pay attention to the time when Jin Zhaozui started to deposit money? Or was it..."

Bai Mingwei said: "In fact, I not only paid attention to the time when I started to deposit money, I also looked at the history of Jin Zhaozui's rise to wealth."

"I discovered that it was Yufeng Bank that supported Jiuseng in establishing Jinzhaozui, and the condition for the exchange was that Jiuseng had to deposit his profits in Yufeng Bank for ten years."

"Jin Zhao Zui did not reveal the identity of the Drunken Monk to me. His background was completely hidden, which shows that he is not a simple person."

"So I can be sure that when the Southern Qi Dynasty was in civil strife, it was him who protected my mother and fled, avoiding the pursuers all the way to Dongling, and finally met my father."

“I’m not sure about my mother’s identity, but I’m sure that my mother’s birth was not simple.”

Xiao Chongyuan did not respond immediately, his expression was very indifferent.

It can be seen that this news is not new to him.

He had long suspected that Bai Mingwei's mother had a great background, but Bai Mingwei did not bring it up, so he did not say anything.

Now that Bai Mingwei's analysis was almost the same as his guess, he naturally started talking.

He said: "In fact, I suspect that your mother is the daughter of the Grand Princess of Southern Qi. But I have no evidence to prove the truth of this matter."

"In my opinion, since your mother has been in deep sleep for many years, don't delve into this matter. Otherwise, if your mother is really related to the Grand Princess's Mansion, you and your seventh brother will be in danger."

At this point, Xiao Chongyuan paused, and his tone became very serious: "Even the Bai Mansion will be in danger."

Bai Mingwei nodded when he heard this: "In fact, I think so too. My mother is gone, and the drunken monk is gone too. The world has changed a long time ago, and things and people are no longer the same."

"Some things are best left buried in the past. There is no benefit in digging them up. I think if my mother were still alive, she would agree with this."

Xiao Chongyuan nodded: "That's right."

Bai Mingwei changed the subject: "However, I have another opinion. Would you like to listen to it?"
