CHAPTER 1886: CHAPTER 1876: WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND

Bai Zepei’s face turned black instantly. This girl already knew but still pretended to trick him into talking!

"You did it on purpose?" He raised his hand to flick her forehead, but unfortunately, Bai Ruozhu dodged this time, giggling she went over to hold her mother’s arm, saying, "Mom, second brother, take it easy."

Fang Guizhi gave Bai Zepei a glare, "Ruozhu is pregnant, be careful. Why are you hitting her on the head? What if you scare her?"

Bai Zepei’s mouth twitched. His mom is showing obvious favoritism, isn’t she? That little devil Ruozhu, could such a small thing scare her? He didn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death!

Then Fang Guizhi pulled Bai Ruozhu aside, looking excited, asking, "What’s going on? Why mention your second sister-in-law?"

"Mom, I’m not married yet!" Bai Zepei angrily reminded.

"Anyway, it’s just a matter of time. Why so shy? Alright, don’t interrupt, I’m asking Ruozhu." Fang Guizhi directly glared at him this time.

Bai Ruozhu snickered behind her mom’s back and stuck her tongue out at her second brother. Bai Zepei was speechless and rubbed his head, wondering what this conversation might turn into.

"Mom, you don’t know, I saw second brother this morning looking thin, so I gave him a package of new Osmanthus pastries made in the Kitchen. I didn’t even eat any myself, gave them all to second brother. Then..." She elongated her voice with a smile, "Second brother met with second sister-in-law at the Guest Palace, and gave them all to her!"

"Bai Ruozhu, don’t randomly call, you don’t have a second sister-in-law yet!" Bai Zepei was genuinely angry this time.

Bai Ruozhu decided to stop while she was ahead, grinningly saying, "Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, future second sister-in-law, future second sister-in-law."

Bai Zepei opened his mouth, but in the end, he wordlessly retreated to the side, simply ignoring her.

Fang Guizhi smiled so much that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes deepened, constantly glancing at Jiang Yichun, then pulled Bai Ruozhu aside and whispered, "Didn’t realize your second brother is such a caring one. I reckon it won’t be long before we have a grandchild again."

"Yeah, second brother is really good to second sister-in-law." Bai Ruozhu giggled, "Oops, I mean future second sister-in-law."

She said this while intentionally glancing at Bai Zepei, who felt he was about to explode with anger. Did these two women think he was deaf?

"Actually, it was Ruozhu who insisted on giving me those pastries, making me, a grown man, smell like osmanthus all over. I happened to run into the Si family’s wives, and when she asked, I had no choice but to give them to her." Bai Zepei explained with a red face, and afterwards regretted it. On normal days, he never had to explain his behavior; he always had his own reasons for doing things. Being so eager to explain now, didn’t it show he lacked confidence?

He now wished he could bite his own tongue off, truly driven crazy by the two women in the house!

At this time, Guizhi and Wa San also came over. Fang Guizhi called Guizhi to talk, and now it was three women chattering together about Bai Zepei’s affairs, with Bai Ruozhu telling the story again!

"I have no appetite, I’ll go read a book!" Bai Zepei was completely furious, tossing out a sentence before leaving.

"Zepei, stop right there! Mom hasn’t had an appetite lately, come and eat with me!" Fang Guizhi’s face fell, "At my age, I’m still bearing a belly, and my son doesn’t even know to care for me, sigh."

Bai Zepei retracted his foot that was stepping out and gloomily came back to sit down again, giving Bai Ruozhu a fierce glare.

Soon after, Bai Zehao and his wife came over. Fang Guizhi waved to Wan Caiyue, called her over and chatted away, repeating again the story of him giving pastries to Si Yihuan, and Bai Zepei was about to explode completely.

Bai Zehao patted his brother’s shoulder sympathetically and said, "Little brother, get married early, once your wife is here, they won’t find this kind of thing so exciting anymore."

Bai Zepei sighed and just as he was about to speak, he saw Jiang Yichun walking in with a chilly aura.

"Ruozhu, don’t go around biting people anymore, I can’t go out to see anyone." Jiang Yichun’s cold voice echoed.

Everyone looked at him and couldn’t help but laugh.

He had a visibly red and swollen bite mark on his chin, clearly a woman’s teeth mark from its petite size.

Bai Ruozhu was shocked, mouth agape, Achun went too far! It’s not fair to retaliate against her like this, she only took a gentle bite on his chin, not enough force to make it that swollen!

She quickly understood he used some ointment to make the bite mark more visible, as a form of revenge!

Fang Guizhi held back her laughter, saying, "Ruozhu, you’re not a dog."

Fang Guizhi and Wan Caiyue were almost bursting with laughter, their looks at Bai Ruozhu full of suggestiveness, almost directly asking why she had the habit of biting her husband.

Bai Ruozhu’s ears turned red with embarrassment, was she too boastful and now getting her comeuppance? She didn’t expect Achun to retaliate so harshly!

"It wasn’t me who bit!" she said angrily, puffing her cheeks.

Jiang Yichun kept a stern face, "If it wasn’t you, who else could bite me like that? Don’t play games, lest Mom and Dad misunderstand me."

Bai Ruozhu’s face turned even redder, could she say she didn’t use force? Lest she admit she bit him, how suggestive to bite someone’s chin, utterly embarrassing!

In the end, she silently slinked to one side, wishing she could find a crack to hide in, but unfortunately, her second brother on the opposite side looked very smug, teasingly saying, "Little sister’s teeth are quite sharp."

Wuuu, don’t bully the pregnant woman like this!

Not long after, Bai Yihong came over from the backyard, having been tinkering with carpentry.

As soon as he entered, he saw the bite mark on Jiang Yichun’s chin, and Bai Zepei very "enthusiastically" explained it to his dad, clearly a revenge tactic.

Bai Ruozhu was so upset she was almost in tears. Isn’t this what people call karma, that what goes around comes around?

After finishing the dinner, Bai Ruozhu found an excuse and left in a hurry. Jiang Yichun followed behind her, trying to support her, but she fiercely shrugged him off.

"Hmph, stay away from me, scheming man!" Bai Ruozhu said, puffing angrily.

"Who made you knock me there? Is there anyone who harms her husband like this?" Jiang Yichun asked, glaring.

Bai Ruozhu glared back fiercely, "I was just joking, you’re the one who faked it, over the top!"

"Different tactics for different people; dealing with you requires this method," Jiang Yichun said with a smug smile, recalling his little woman earlier bowing her head like a quail made him chuckle again.

Bai Ruozhu took a deep breath and continued walking forward, deciding not to talk to him, not for three days!

The next day, sure enough, Bai Ruozhu still didn’t speak to Jiang Yichun, simply ignoring him as if she couldn’t see him at all. Jiang Yichun happened to be on a break, constantly hovering around her, even taking the initiative to apologize, applying ointment to remove the swelling on his chin. Unfortunately, Bai Ruozhu had made up her mind to ignore him.

By noon, a few from the Female Physicians Institution came over, making Jiang Yichun suddenly nervous, "What’s wrong? Are you going to give birth? Was it because I got you angry yesterday?"

Third update, two more to go. I probably won’t need to commit seppuku, right~

Zhou Jue: (winks) Lovely beauties, throw some monthly votes, lest the author forces me to self-castrate after the seppuku, I’m terrified~

Ji Ziyan: (indifferently) There’s nothing wrong with self-castration, but we can’t lack monthly votes, gotta get some medical expenses.
