Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 140 Why is it so painful?
After taking two cities in succession, the morale of the Bai family army was high.

But Bai Mingwei knew that reinforcements from Liancheng had arrived, and the Bai family army was currently in a state where it could not compete with the Beiyan army for the time being.

The most important factor in recovering the first two cities was surprise.

However, recovering the next three cities will not happen overnight, and will take some time to prepare.

Therefore, Bai Mingwei was not in a hurry. After returning to Yaocheng, she arranged the military affairs in detail.

Then, the trip to Yinshan was put on the agenda.

Considering Bai Xiuying's physical condition, she decided to set off in two days to go to Yinshan to collect the bodies of her relatives.

After dinner that day, Bai Mingwei wrote a few letters and gave them to Wei Xiao, asking him to find someone to bring them to Jiang Ci, who was still in Beiyan.

After everything was arranged, she took out a piece of white cloth, scissors, needle and thread, and prepared to make a shroud for her father.

Although Shen had already made preparations, she still wanted to do it for her father herself.

The white cloth was wrinkled and gave off a dusty smell.

She stretched out her hand to smooth it out several times, but could not smooth out the wrinkles.

The layers of fabric were like her damp mind.

She looked at her hands, which were no longer smooth and tender, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

The hands that once held pens and played piano were so rough that they could no longer pick up silk thread.

"Squeak" sounded.

The door was opened.

Bai Ming raised his eyes slightly, and what came into view was a man dressed in white.

Bai Ming lowered his eyelids slightly and continued to work on the needlework in his hands.

Feng Qingchen put the bowl he was holding next to her and asked, "Have you decided who will go to Yinshan?"

Bai Mingwei replied: "There is no need to decide on a candidate, just the Bai family can go."

"Right now, the court has not rectified the names of my father, uncle, and brother. Whether soldiers or civilians go together, it will cause unnecessary trouble and give the court an excuse to punish my Bai family."

Feng Qingchen said: "You are really brave. If the food is really in the valley, there will be many dangers there."

Bai Ming shook his head slightly: "There will be no danger, because Yinshan is very big, and they will not put food too close to tens of thousands of corpses."

"We only went to pick up corpses, and we didn't bring any soldiers. Those who guard the food will not attack us easily in order to avoid causing trouble."

"If something happens to us, they can't hide their location. So they will just let us pick up the bones smoothly and leave Yinshan as soon as possible."

"Go and do your business with peace of mind, and leave it to me to find out where the food is." Feng Qingchen said, then pushed the bowl, "This is medicine for the wound."

Bai Ming glanced at the brown concoction in the bowl, picked it up and drank it all in one gulp: "It's so bitter."

She didn't refuse Feng Qingchen's proposal because that was exactly what she planned to do.

This Feng Qingchen once again coincided with her thoughts.

When Feng Qingchen heard her complaining about the bitterness of the medicine, he was shocked: "No way? I was full of tenderness and sweetness when I fried it. This medicine should be sweet, so why is it still bitter?"

Bai Ming raised his eyes slightly: "Did you fry it?"

Feng Qingchen nodded: "You don't want your family to worry, so you won't go to the doctor. If I, the considerate person, don't do it myself, won't I have to force you to carry all the injuries on your body?"

Bai Mingwei remained silent.

Feng Qingchen handed over his hand: "Look, your hand is burnt. Do you want to give me a breath?"

Bai Mingwei remained silent. He put down the needle and thread in his hand after a while, with an extremely serious expression: "Feng Qingchen, how do you want me to pay you back?"

Feng Qingchen opened his arms and said with a smile: "Marry me and pledge yourself to me. I have thousands of hectares of fertile land and a cloud of servants. I can protect you and give you stability for the rest of your life."

Bai Mingwei said nothing, not because Feng Qingchen's attitude made her confused, but because she had nothing to say.

Feng Qingchen silently picked up the medicine bowl and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that men can't be too handsome. Being too handsome can easily make women feel inferior and dare not approach him."

Bai Ming frowned slightly: "What did you say?"

Feng Qingchen said sincerely: "Little girl, I know you must be ashamed of yourself because I am so handsome. In fact, there is no need to have such troubles. Even if you are ugly, I will not dislike you."

Bai Ming frowned slightly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Feng Qingchen couldn't help but laugh: "Look, did you become angry because of being poked into your heart?"

Bai Ming rubbed his eyebrows slightly: "The door is over there. Thank you for the medicine. Please take your time and don't give it away."

Feng Qingchen walked away with her head held high and closed the door with a smile.

He shook his head and chuckled: "You still can't help but be funny, what a funny little girl."

Bai Ming took a deep breath, picked up the needle and thread again and continued to sew, as if the previous scene had never happened.

She will remember every detail of Feng Qingchen's help to her.

But precisely because she had received so much kindness, she felt that she had nothing to repay.Just now she wanted to tell Feng Qingchen honestly that she had already repaid her past kindness and there was no need to treat her like this again.

Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Feng Qingchen.

She knew that Feng Qingchen's frivolous words were actually to relieve the embarrassment.

She also borrowed a donkey to go downhill, ending the conversation.

Otherwise, if she had stated everything so straightforwardly, how would she have faced the person who had helped her so many times?
As soon as Feng Qingchen left, his second sister-in-law, Mrs. Ren, pushed open the door and entered.

Carrying the gold sore medicine and gauze, she slowly walked up to Bai Mingwei: "Put down the needle and thread first, and I will treat your injury."

Bai Mingwei looked at Mrs. Ren: "Second sister-in-law, how did you know?"

Ren explained: "Just now I saw Military Master Feng making medicine, and I guessed that something was wrong with you. After all, although Military Master Feng holds the title of military counselor, he is not as concerned about military affairs as he is about you. It is not difficult to guess."

"Sure enough, I inquired a little and found out that you were injured. I know what you are thinking. Aren't you just afraid that we will worry?"

"So don't worry, I didn't tell anyone else. Everyone is preparing to go to Yinshan right now, so I didn't disturb them."

Bai Mingwei put down her needlework and untied her cloak: "Thank you, second sister-in-law."

When the hideous wound was exposed, even though Ren was prepared, she couldn't help but be startled.

She looked at the whip marks on Bai Mingwei's body, and her heart seemed to be tugged hard, and the pain was unbearable.

She took a deep breath and said after a long time: "Big girl, you have suffered."

Bai Ming smiled nonchalantly: "It's not a fatal wound, second sister-in-law, don't worry."

While applying medicine, Mrs. Ren said, "I know this is not a fatal injury, but I know it hurts. Big girl, my sisters-in-law all know very well that you have endured more than anyone else."

Bai Ming patted Ren's hand slightly: "I happen to be good at martial arts, and I happen to be the eldest daughter. I just do what I'm good at."

"Sisters-in-law are also fighting in their own way, so how can we say how much they can bear?"

Ren carefully applied the medicine to Bai Mingwei's body. Seeing that Bai Mingwei was in slight pain, she couldn't help but tremble, but she didn't even hum because of it. She felt distressed again.

She said: "Girl, I never thought that there would be a day when I would take my husband's body home. Before Yao Cheng and Ping Cheng were recaptured, I thought it would be enough to just be able to see the place where my husband's body lay in the distance."

"But because of you, this went from being unimaginable to becoming a reality. Please allow me to say thank you."

Bai Ming smiled: "Second sister-in-law, I am also very happy that we have come to this point."

Ren was looking for clean clothes to change into for her, but when she saw the obviously ill-fitting undergarment on her body, she couldn't help but be startled.

Bai Mingwei noticed his second sister-in-law's surprise, but didn't explain too much.

Instead, Ren couldn't help it anymore and asked her: "Miss, you and Military Master Feng..."

Bai Mingwei looked magnanimous: "He is my benefactor, I owe him a lot of kindness."

Ren collected the bloody cotton and cloth strips on the ground and asked her: "We can all see what Commander Feng is thinking. Although we don't know where he came from, he is here for you."

Bai Ming said slightly: "Second sister-in-law, I have only known him for more than a month. I don't know much about him. Naturally, I can't rise to the level of love between men and women."

"Besides, the current situation is uncertain and the Bai family is in such a situation. How can I think about the relationship between men and women?"

"So there is only kindness between me and him."

Bai Mingwei spoke so thoroughly that Ren didn't say much.

Although she also hopes in her heart that the eldest girl can find someone who can be entrusted with her life, get married and have children as soon as possible, and live a stable life.

But she also understood that with all the men in the Bai family gone, the responsibility of inheriting the will of the Bai family for generations fell to the eldest girl.

In front of the family, country and the world, why are there so many children loving each other?

The eldest girl must have thought so too, so she made her attitude clear from the beginning. There was only kindness and nothing else between her and Master Feng.

Although she couldn't relate to this state of mind, how could she not understand it?

Otherwise, her husband, a weak-tempered but upright man at heart, would not have resolutely gone to the battlefield and left his life far away, and his bones have not returned home to this day.

In the end, Mrs. Ren just said: "Girl, take a good rest. If you feel tired, my sister-in-law will listen to your concerns at any time. Remember that when you are carrying a heavy load, there are still us behind you."

"Although the power is insignificant, we will always stand behind you and support you."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Thank you, second sister-in-law."

Ren didn't say anything else, took the things and left.

Feng Qingchen heard their conversation clearly from beginning to end.

He just held the tea cup, as if frozen, and did not move for a long time.

He cherished eating so much, and for the first time he did not drink up all the tea in his hands.

Xiaobai turned his head and looked at the gradually cooling tea, his big dark eyes rolling.

Feng Qingchen put down the tea cup and said: "This tea is too bitter. Why is it so bitter?"
