Everyone was in the field, working hard to dig for the tapiocas.
Xiaobai was also digging at the side. It dug out a piece of tapioca and immediately brought it to Bai Wutong for praise.
Bai Wutong stroked its smooth head. Xiaobai, who was satisfied, raised its b.u.t.t and kept digging for the tapioca that everyone had missed.
Not long after, a small mountain of tapioca appeared in front of Bai Wutong.
Stinky also wanted to dig, but he had a habit of stuffing everything into his mouth.
If he accidentally took a bite of the tapioca, it would be a huge problem.
Bai Wutong asked Chu Tianbao to bring him to ride the wooden horse. Stinky liked to ride the wooden horse the most, so he immediately forgot about digging for tapiocas.
Cui Lingyi sat beside her with a concerned expression. “Are you feeling unwell?’
After Bai Wutong drank the oolong tea she had brewed, both her child and she had almost lost their lives. Cui Lingyi still felt very guilty.
This had never been her fault. It had just been an accident. No one had expected it.
However, Cui Lingyi felt uneasy at the thought that the child in Bai Wutong’s womb might be weak from birth.
Bai Wutong knew that there was a hurdle in her heart. She smiled brightly and said, “It’s all thanks to you asking Granny w.a.n.g to take care of me that I don’t feel uncomfortable at all today.”
Granny w.a.n.g was very experienced in taking care of pregnant ladies. The food they prepared was also to her liking. Her nausea was greatly reduced, and her mental state was much better.
Seeing that she was really looking better, Cui Lingyi relaxed a little. She took out the baby undergarment she had drawn and gave it to Bai Wutong to choose.
“Take a look and see which is more to your liking.”
Bai Wutong took the ill.u.s.tration and looked at it. She couldn’t help but smile. “They’re all very beautiful. I don’t even know how to choose. You’re preparing too early. It’s only been less than two months.”
Cui Lingyi smiled and said, “Time pa.s.ses in the blink of an eye. It’s better to prepare early than late.” Then she said, “After making the undergarments, I can also make a few winter clothes. They’ll be suitable when the child is born.”
Bai Wutong touched her womb. “Did you hear that? Baby, be good. Your auntie has even prepared your winter clothes.”
Cui Lingyi’s gaze was gentle as she sincerely prayed that Bai Wutong and the child in her womb could be born safely and healthily.
After digging up a lot of tapiocas, the carriage could not hold them all. Everyone packed the tapiocas and carried some away.
Just as they were about to set off, the sound of galloping hooves suddenly came from ahead.
A woman in red waved her horsewhip and led more than 20 elite soldiers towards them.
Lu Ye stood up and looked over. His eyes suddenly lit up as he said excitedly to
Chu Tianbao, “Young General, Miss is here to look for you.”
Bai Wutong was slightly surprised. The woman in red had already arrived in front of them.
She dismounted nimbly, like a graceful red b.u.t.terfly.
Her ordinary appearance had the unique aura of the sun glow, making her more eye-catching.
Was this Chu Tianbao’s sister?
The two of them did not look alike at all.
Just as Bai Wutong was feeling puzzled, the moment Gu Liancheng saw Chu Tianbao, tears instantly welled up and she flew towards him.
Before Gu Liancheng could touch a single hair on Chu Tianbao, in the next second, under everyone’s surprised gazes, she flew out in a perfect arc.
Fortunately, Chu Tianbao’s kick was not heavy.
Gu Liancheng fell to the ground and got up in a sorry state. She immediately cried to Chu Tianbao, “Gu Junyan, why did you kick me?”
He had never touched her in the past, but that day, he kicked her away in front of so many people.
Gu Liancheng felt extremely aggrieved.
Bai Wutong’s eyes suddenly darkened. Since she was his sister, why did she call him by his name?
Since she was his sister, why did she sound more affectionate than talking to her brother? It was as if they were not siblings, but more like a pair of lovers.
Bai Wutong was shocked by her thoughts and secretly clenched her fists.
Chu Tianbao did not buy into Gu Liancheng’s words. He was only Chu Tianbao.
He said expressionlessly, ‘Men and women should not be too close.”
Gu Liancheng’s face instantly turned red, startling Bai Wutong even more.
A woman ‘s intuition told her that something was definitely wrong.
She instantly guessed that Chu Tianbao was not Marshal Gu’s biological son, or that Gu Liancheng was not.
While Gu Liancheng was embarra.s.sed, angry, and sad, she glanced at Bai Wutong from the corner of her eye. When she realized that Chu Tianbao was holding her hand, she instantly lost her composure. She suddenly got up from the ground and questioned Chu Tianbao, “You said that men and women should not be too close. Then why are you being so intimate in public?”
It was not a sister’s business to know who her brother was being intimate with.
Besides, she was so self-righteous.
In an instant, even Cui Lingyi sensed that something was wrong and suddenly frowned.
The others were shocked that Chu Tianbao had such an unreasonable sister.
Logically speaking, this lady did not grow up in the Southern Frontier. How could she be as boorish as the women in the Southern Frontier and actually say such words in public?
Bai Wutong suddenly felt a little disgusted. She shook off Chu Tianbao’s hand in disgust. “I’m not feeling well. Let’s go back to the carriage first.”
When Chu Tianbao felt the warmth of Bai Wutong’s hand slip away, he hurriedly grabbed her. “I’ll go with you.”
Bai Wutong glanced at Gu Liancheng, who was in shock and disbelief, and pulled her hand out again. “Stay with your sister first.”
Chu Tianbao didn’t want to care about his sister at all. He hurriedly grabbed Bai Wutong, afraid that she would slip away.
Gu Liancheng never expected Chu Tianbao, who had returned, to have a woman he liked. She gritted her teeth and looked at Bai Wutong as if she was looking at an irreconcilable enemy.
Her originally bright phoenix eyes also lost their l.u.s.ter. They were covered by filth as she suddenly rushed towards Bai Wutong and shouted, “Pretentious vixen!’
Everyone was stunned by her shocking words.
How could she say that...
Madam Bai was her sister-in-law!
The moment she rushed over, Chu Tianbao pulled Bai Wutong into his arms and raised his hand to send Gu Liancheng flying to the ground.
“Pfft—”
Gu Liancheng spat out a mouthful of blood. Her eyes were red as she said with difficulty, “You, you actually hit me again because of her!’
Despite her miserable appearance, Chu Tianbao only said coldly, “You deserve to be beaten.”
If she wasn’t Gu Liancheng, Chu Tianbao would have killed her long ago.
After only a while, Bai Wutong felt mentally and physically exhausted. Chu Tianbao picked her up horizontally, left everyone behind, and entered the carnage.
Gu Liancheng stayed where she was and was like a joke.
Lu Ye did not know why Gu Liancheng had suddenly gone crazy. He could not help but support her up, wanting to find a doctor to treat her.
However, Gu Liancheng grabbed his sleeve like a lunatic and questioned, ‘Who is that woman?”
Lu Ye frowned and replied truthfully, “It’s Young General’s wife.”
Gu Liancheng widened his eyes crazily. “My father didn’t even agree to it.
Bullsh*t Young General’s wife!”
She shouted again, “She’s at most a concubine!”
Everyone present was furious.
Bai Wutong was Chu Tianbao’s legitimate wife. They had bowed to the heavens and earth and everyone had witnessed it.
Was there something wrong with her brain? How dare she be so arrogant?
