CHAPTER 1748: CHAPTER 1748: ALONE

Outside, Bai Ruozhu, who was eavesdropping at the wall root, was no longer smiling, and tears welled up in her eyes. Her Guizhi had finally found her own happiness.

Jianqi looked at Bai Ruozhu, who was both crying and laughing, and then glanced at the room next to them, finally understanding what was going on with his master.

Luckily, Muyu the joker didn’t come; otherwise, who knows what tales he would spin about their master.

Jianqi had already forgotten he himself had just thought about the three years of silliness after pregnancy.

When the couple emerged from the room, Bai Ruozhu stealthily went to observe Wa San’s nose, not bleeding anymore but still a bit red, and Wa San’s lips were also swollen. Obviously, Guizhi wouldn’t just kiss; she must have been biting him.

Looking at Guizhi again, her lips were also swollen, hanging her head in embarrassment, not daring to meet Bai Ruozhu’s eyes. Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh out loud this time. Well, these two clearly have no experience, they are just biting!

"Alright, alright, you’ve found happiness, let’s hurry home. You two lovebirds are all cheerful, but pity me, an expectant mother standing here with backache and no man by my side," Bai Ruozhu teased.

Guizhi hastily went to support her, saying, "You’ve worked hard, let me help you onto the horse carriage."

Wa San, feeling embarrassed, said, "I shouldn’t have been so stubborn, troubling the young miss."

Bai Ruozhu gave him a stern look, "You need to change how you address me!"

Wa San was a bit stunned but then realized he had married Guizhi; he should call Bai Ruozhu "Big Sister."

"Yes, Big Sister," Wa San said, blushing.

Though it’s just one word different, the meaning is so much more meaningful.

Afterwards, the Bai Family elders ended up knowing about this, but seeing Wa San return, they felt relieved.

Bai Yihong even went to chat with Wa San once, and afterwards, Wa San also became more cheerful.

Bai Ruozhu became curious and privately asked her father what he had said to Wa San.

Bai Yihong pulled his daughter aside and lowered his voice, "I asked him, what’s this all about? Look at Meng Family’s eldest: doesn’t he live optimistically? If Wa San runs away again in a fit of emotion, I’ll marry Guizhi to Huilin. Let him regret then!"

Bai Ruozhu was stunned for quite a while before saying, "Father, you’re becoming sly. You shouldn’t compare with Senior Fox, and anyway, how could Guizhi marry Senior Fox?"

"I was just scaring Wa San, and he immediately promised me he wouldn’t be stubborn anymore. The future’s long; he wants to live well with Guizhi," Bai Yihong said, proudly waiting for his daughter to praise him.

Bai Ruozhu’s face twitched, and she forced herself to say, "Father, you’re getting clever, but if Senior Fox hears this, he’ll surely resent you."

Bai Yihong shrugged his shoulders, "I said it behind closed doors quietly, and I didn’t mean anything else. I really admire Huilin, but I have no more daughters. Otherwise, I’d want him as a son-in-law."

"Haha, then you should try to have a daughter with Mother," Bai Ruozhu laughed out loud.

Bai Yihong stretched out his hand to smack his daughter’s head, "What nonsense are you saying? You even dare to talk about your parents."

Afterwards, it was Wa San and Guizhi’s wedding, although simple, it was lively. Many acquaintances of the Bai Family came to celebrate, and on the wedding day, Wa San even changed his eye patch to bright red.

There were guests curious about his eyes, but Wa San this time was not embarrassed or angry. He was very calm; after all, he had only lost one eye. His wife didn’t mind, why care about what others say!

As for Guizhi, in the bridal chamber, Bai Ruozhu gave her a pre-wedding talk, making her so dizzy her cheeks burned to her toes.

Bai Ruozhu handed two bottles of medicine to Guizhi, whispering, "The first time will definitely hurt a lot. If it really hurts badly and it’s difficult to... proceed, just apply some. The green bottle is for applying afterwards, ensuring you can get up the next day."

Guizhi flushed, refusing to take it. Bai Ruozhu poked her forehead, saying, "Don’t stubbornly endure; you’ll just end up crying."

"Did you cry back then? Or did you use the medicine?" Guizhi curiously asked.

Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched. That was back in her previous life, and in those circumstances, how could she start that discussion?

"And now you’ve learned how to tease me? I’m just thinking of your good, remember that," Bai Ruozhu said and promptly slipped away.

Seeing Wa San being sent into the bridal chamber, Bai Ruozhu felt a bit sour inside. When will her Achun return?

Everyone else was paired up, yet she was nearly turning into Wangfu Stone, not knowing what exactly Achun was up to!

...

In Jiangzhou City, Jiang Yichun was disembarking with Yu Chenghua, Gai Yalai, and Bai Ruolan.

Bai Ruolan swayed like a startled fawn all along, clutching Jiang Yichun’s sleeve, saying, "I’m scared, I’m scared."

Jiang Yichun impatiently pulled his sleeve free, causing Bai Ruolan to lose her balance and sit right down on the deck.

"Brother, she’s just a fool," Yu Chenghua said sympathetically. He knew Jiang Yichun disliked others coming close, but wasn’t that Bai Ruozhu’s cousin?

Jiang Yichun had to help Bai Ruolan up, patiently calming her, "Don’t worry, once you’re off the ship, you won’t be seasick."

Bai Ruolan had been seasick all the way, vomiting like crazy. Jiang Yichun had given her seasickness medicine, which helped a bit, after which she clung onto Jiang Yichun.

No one knew whether it was the effect of the seasickness medicine or she felt Jiang Yichun carried Bai Ruozhu’s scent. Jiang Yichun guessed it was the latter. He remembered Bai Ruolan was rescued by Ruozhu after hanging herself, was very afraid of people then, but really relied on Ruozhu.

Seeing her son supporting Bai Ruolan, Gai Yalai, looking displeased, said, "I can’t stand steadily, come help me off the ship, Achun."

Jiang Yichun had to ask Yu Chenghua to look after Bai Ruolan and turned to help Gai Yalai. But Bai Ruolan again grabbed the sleeve, following closely as he walked.

Yu Chenghua chuckled, saying, "I’m still injured, can’t help you much."

Gai Yalai shot Bai Ruolan a disapproving glance, grumbled to Jiang Yichun, "She’s your wife’s cousin. Bringing her along like this if someone sees, it’s inappropriate. I’m still sick and haven’t recovered throughout this trip; it’s not enough that you can’t care for me, but being chased around by her leaves no room for proper rest, how’s that right?"

Gai Yalai gave another disapproving look at Bai Ruolan, said to the Nanny next to her, "Who knows if she’s truly foolish."

Bai Ruolan understood nothing, completely ignoring Gai Yalai’s complaints, continuing to hold Jiang Yichun’s sleeve. Gai Yalai, feeling like she was striking cotton, was even more frustrated.

It was hard to tell whether it was anger or exhaustion, but her condition worsened that night, forcing Jiang Yichun to halt the journey temporarily and find an Inn for a good rest.

Gai Yalai’s illness was peculiar, appearing like an allergy or skin disease, with a rash breaking out on her neck and body, but not the face. Jiang Yichun tried various medications, but none cured it.
