Chapter 347: I Want to Bring My Mother Over
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cocoa fruit was a shrub plant. The most magical thing was that it took less than nine months for the seeds to grow fruits. It was very suitable for planting and cultivation.
In any case, they were going to cultivate the fields, so they might as well cultivate more and plant some cocoa fruits so that they could increase everyone’s harvest.
Sheng Huaixuan told Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao his thoughts. Bai Wutong agreed very much. Cocoa beans were nutritious and contained many proteins, fats, starch, vitamins, and a small amount of cocoa base. Apart from making cocoa powdered chocolate, the flesh of the cocoa fruit could also be used as feed. The seeds could also be squeezed to give oil. In the modern world, cocoa, tea, and coffee became the three main non-alcoholic beverages that were loved by the people of the world.
Planting cocoa fruits would bring endless vitality and wealth.
Since she had brought these commoners to the southern frontier, she had to consider the future lives of the commoners. Planting cocoa beans was a very good choice for honest farmers who did not have the skills and did not dare to do other work.
Bai Wutong even gave Sheng Huaixuan some advice. He could develop more cocoa beans and make more delicious products.
Be it pastries, drinks, or candy, these could all be tried. They could also open a chocolate store in the Central Plains, hold a chocolate banquet, produce various types of chocolate, design chocolate dolls, let the chocolate become more popular, and supply raw ingredients directly from the southern frontier.
Bai Wutong’s countless marketing methods broadened the horizons of the experienced Sheng Huaixuan. He still wanted to chat with her, but it was already afternoon.
Chu Tianbao was going to undergo acupuncture treatment for the fourth day. According to his progress, Wen Renhua could completely dissipate the blood clot in Chu Tianbao’s head that day.
Bai Wutong made chocolate that day because she wanted the mellow chocolate to give Chu Tianbao some psychological comfort.
Even if he hadn’t said anything in the past few days, Bai Wutong could still feel that he was feeling very depressed. He probably had a lot of memories that troubled him.
When he returned to the tent, Wen Renhua and Gu Zhongxun were already waiting.
Bai Wutong said to Chu Tianbao, “Do you want another piece of chocolate?”
Chu Tianbao opened his mouth obediently. Bai Wutong broke off a piece of chocolate and sent it to his mouth. She squeezed his palm and gave him moral support.
It was as smooth and mellow as Bai Wutong’s aura, completely enveloping him. Chu Tianbao closed his eyes in enjoyment. Wen Renhua suddenly inserted a silver needle.
The last session lasted until almost dark. After feeding Chu Tianbao a pile of chocolate, Wen Renhua finally said, “Done.”
After concentrating on high-intensity treatment for the entire afternoon, he also revealed a trace of fatigue.
Gu Zhongxun helped Wen Renhua to sit on the chair. Then, he poured a cup of herbal tea for him to moisten his mouth.
Bai Wutong first thanked Wen Renhua and asked, “Does Tianbao still need treatment in the future?”
In modern times, even if one had suffered a heavy blow to the brain, one had to be observed at all times. From time to time, one had to go to the hospital to take an X-ray.
Chinese medicine was broad and profound, but Bai Wutong was still a little worried.
Wen Renhua’s gaze landed on Chu Tianbao’s tace. He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. “If you have a headache and dizziness, you can look for me anytime.”
Bai Wutong nodded and sent Wen Renhua and Gu Zhongxun out of the tent.
Chu Tianbao’s eyes were still closed, trapped in his memories.
His frown and serious expression worried Bai Wutong.
However, she did not stop him from continuing to recall. After waiting for about half an hour, Chu Tianbao finally opened his eyes slowly. His dark eyes seemed to be surging with indescribable sorrow.
Bai Wutong’s heart skipped a beat, as if she had a bad feeling.
Chu Tianbao held Bai Wutong’s hand tightly and said apologetically, “Let’s eat first.”
Bai Wutong was pregnant now, so she ate in smaller portions but more frequently. She had accompanied him this afternoon and had yet to eat anything.
She did not ask Chu Tianbao what he had recalled. She nodded and got someone to pa.s.s over the food.
They finished their meal in silence.
Chu Tianbao hugged Bai Wutong and fell silent.
Bai Wutong did not feel good about this oppressive atmosphere.
However, she also knew that Chu Tianbao had just regained his memories and needed time to slowly adapt.
When he got used to it, he would naturally tell her.
The two of them fell asleep in each other’s arms, their heartbeats giving each other the strength to feel safe and at ease.
The next day, Bai Wutong was woken up by Chu Tianbao’s kiss. She responded enthusiastically, knowing that he should be prepared and had something to say to her.
However, this kiss was surprisingly long. Bai Wutong was panting before Chu
Tianbao let her go.
He still wanted to come, but Bai Wutong pushed him. “Alright, I can’t.”
“Mmhmm—”
Chu Tianbao attacked again and played with her in his palm.
After an unknown period of time, when Bai Wutong completely lost her strength and collapsed in his arms, Chu Tianbao finally said, “Wife.”
His tone was solemn and complicated, as if it was extremely difficult to say the rest.
Bai Wutong pinched his abs and said angrily, “As long as it’s not that you who want to find a woman, I can take it.”
Chu Tianbao, who wanted to find a “woman”, felt his heart skip a beat and he hesitated even more.
He looked silly and timid, exactly the same as when he had made a mistake when she initially picked him up.
Bai Wutong’s eyes darkened and she sat up in his arms. “You’re not really going to look for a woman, are you?”
Seeing the flames in Bai Wutong’s eyes, Chu Tianbao hurriedly explained, “I want to bring my mother over.”
He was extremely guilty. Bai Wutong had just gotten pregnant and he was about to leave the mother and son.
However, if he did not leave now and the news that he was not dead spread to the Imperial City, he would not have a chance to take n.o.ble Consort Ling away from Emperor Linghui.
When Bai Wutong heard this, she immediately said, “Your mother? Tell me what’s going on.”
Chu Tianbao clearly knew his background long ago. If his biological mother was n.o.ble Consort Ling, it would take him at least five to six months to go back and forth to the Imperial City.
Counting the days, their child might have been born by then.
Seeing that Bai Wutong was not angry, Chu Tianbao heaved a sigh of relief and slowly explained his past memories.
Back then, Emperor Linghui was only a soldier at the border. He met n.o.ble Consort Ling, who was in her prime years. With his outstanding looks, he captured n.o.ble Consort Ling’s heart and made Chu Tianbao’s maternal grandfather teach him superb martial arts.
Chu Tianbao’s grandfather had suffered very serious internal injuries a few years ago. Knowing that he did not have much time left, before he died, he pa.s.sed all his life’s cultivation to Emperor Linghui, hoping that he would always treat n.o.ble Consort Ling well.
With his tall body and strong martial arts, Emperor Linghui had made many extraordinary achievements in the army. Chu Tianbao was also born in the second year of n.o.ble Consort Ling and Emperor Linghui’s marriage.
They should have been a blissful family, but as Emperor Linghui’s status in the army advanced and he was fancied by the Eldest Prince’s biological mother at that time, their happiness stopped abruptly.
Although Emperor Linghui had feelings for n.o.ble Consort Ling, at some point, he had the ambition to rule the world. The only eldest daughter of the entire family, Quan Qiaorong, had taken a fancy to him, so it was undoubtedly the best help for him.
Hence, he allowed Ren Qiaorong to plot to frame n.o.ble Consort Ling for having an affair with others and be caught red-handed by him.
