It's really brave to ask a granddaughter of a dignified first-class official to be her stepmother.
She is still young now. If she were older, it would be hard for someone to teach her what to say and what not to say.
Fortunately, Huai Jin is not here now, otherwise, if he plays with this little girl, he doesn't know how bad he will be led to.
When Luo Jiaocheng came to the door of the kitchen, she wanted to go in directly, but after thinking about it, she decided to observe first, so she stood at the door and stretched her head to look inside.
There is a small round table and four round stools in the kitchen.
At this time, Bai Guli was sitting on a round stool with Xiaoba in his arms, and on the round table were two or three pastries and a large bowl of sweet water.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you, don't be in a hurry. Come, take a sip of sweet water, don't choke!"
While Bai Guli spoke softly, he took out his embroidered handkerchief and wiped the pastry crumbs from the corner of Xiaoba's mouth, and finally scooped a small spoonful of sweet water and fed it to Xiaoba.
Seeing this scene, Luo Jiaochi's face darkened, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath. After her emotions calmed down, she raised a kind smile and stepped in.
"Have you eaten enough, Xiaoba?"
Xiaoba had been obediently leaning on Bai Guli's arms to eat. When he heard a strange voice, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull Bai Guli's sleeve, and then timidly turned his head to look at the person coming.
"If Xiaoba is full, I will ask Xiangtao to take you back!"
She walked over with a smile, reached out and touched Xiaoba's hair. When she looked at herself, she added: "It seems that Xiaoba quite likes these pastries. I will give these to Xiaoba later."
How about taking it back? Then Xiaoba can eat some when he's hungry."
Xiao Ba was really not impressed by Luo Jiaocheng, and couldn't even remember who the person in front of him was.
When he heard her say his name and then say something back, he shook his head wildly, and at the same time, his little body leaned more and more into Bai Guli's arms: "No, Xiaoba doesn't want to go back. Xiaoba wants his aunt, and Xiaoba wants his aunt to be his mother.
.”
When Bai Guli heard Xiaoba say this again, he subconsciously looked at Luo Jiaocha.
Seeing her looking at him with a serious look on her face, she secretly thought something was wrong.
"Xiaoba, can you go back first? My aunt has something to do. I'll go find you later when I'm free."
The little guy was very sensitive. He shook his head when he heard this, and his little hands holding the sleeves became tighter and tighter, but he just refused.
Luo Jiaocheng took another deep breath, and when she looked at Bai Guli, there was a half-smile on her face, which made Bai Guli's heart tremble.
Although the person in front of her has no blood relationship with her, she is still her elder, so she has to call her Jiaoji Aunt.
If she is really angry now, Xiaoba is afraid...
Bai Guli couldn't bear to think about it at all, and all he wanted to do was send Xiaoba back as soon as possible.
Luo Jiaochu didn't care whether Xiao Ba Tong agreed or not, and directly shouted: "Chi Shao, pack up all these cakes on the table and bring them back to Xiao Ba. If Tao Zi is here, please give it to Xiao Ba."
"
Xiangtao had also been paying attention to the situation here. When she heard the sound coming from the kitchen, she went in directly with Chishao.
"No, no, Xiaoba, don't go back... Wow... bad guy, Xiaoba, don't go back, no, wuwuwu... aunt, auntie..."
The little guy seemed to be stimulated again, his hands tightly circled the white grains, as if he was parting from life and death.
She was crying loudly and bursting into tears, which made Bai Guli's eyes turn red.
The more they behave like this, the angrier Luo Jiaocheng becomes, but she doesn't say anything at the moment, just standing aside and watching Bai Guli coaxing the baby.
She's leaving tomorrow, so it's really embarrassing to do this to her now.
It seems that she really underestimated this little girl who is less than five years old!
If she doesn't bring Bai Guli back to the capital safely this time, how will she have the face to face the Bai Mansion in the future, and will she be criticized by those high-ranking people who come and go?
I wouldn't be afraid if she was still a nobody, but the problem is that now she is not only the Marquis of Zhenguo, but also the mother of Princess Mo.
If she doesn't take Bai Guli back, let alone the people in Bai Mansion, even the female relatives of those high-ranking families will definitely point fingers at her.
It is said that Princess Mo's mother, who was from the Marquis's Mansion in Zhenguo, brought the eldest daughter of the Bai Mansion to Tuofeng Town, and married her to a poor scholar who was older and younger as his stepmother.
Not only that, they will definitely say that she is a white-eyed wolf. The White House has been kind to her, but she repays kindness with hatred and so on.
In fact, there was no need to think about this. Luo Jiaochao could imagine that the capital would definitely be abuzz with rumors about this.
These are not what she wants to see.
This was the first time Xiangtao saw Luo Jiaochou like this. Seeing this, she didn't care about anything. She stepped forward and picked up Xiaoba without saying a word, turned around, took the cake handed over by Chishao, and walked out.
"Auntie, if Xiaoba doesn't leave, if he doesn't leave, Xiaoba wants auntie..."
Xiaoba struggled hard in Xiangtao's arms, and at the same time he didn't forget to stretch his hand towards Bai Guli, trying to catch her.
Bai Guli had no choice but to watch Xiaoba being taken away. As the cries got farther and farther away, her heart began to ache.
I wanted to chase him out, but I was worried that Luo Jiao was still here.
Luo Jiaocheng was particularly shrewd about Bai Guli this time. It can be said that it was unprecedented.
Now she waited until she could no longer hear the crying, then said: "Gu Li, you are going back tomorrow. I don't want you to cause any trouble at this juncture. If you really want to marry Tang Ming, I can't care about it.
You, but you have to talk about it after you return to the capital. You came out with me, and when you don’t have to go back, I am alone. What you do here is not only related to you and the White House, but also to
I am at Zhenguohou Mansion and Shiqing."
Bai Guli's mind was a little confused for a while, so he said blankly: "What does it have to do with you?"
Luo Jiaocheng didn't play riddles with her, and said directly: "You came out with me, and I have the obligation to send you back safely. If you don't even come back for the New Year, you just stay here to be his step-mother for a government who has nothing."
If so, think about what the people in the capital would say about me, the Hou Mansion behind me, and the poetry? They would station here because of the poetry and King Mo’s people, and say that you were forced to serve as a step-mother.
Prince Yu Mo's Mansion, or the threat from the Prince of Zhenguo's Mansion. If you say that I am evil and heartless, I will push you into a pit of fire. There are many idle people in the capital, and they have broken mouths. What can't be said? What do you think those people will do to me in the future?
, the Marquis Mansion still has poetry pointing fingers, is this ridiculous? Also, what will your parents think of me, and how do you want me to face your grandparents?"
Bai Guli really didn't expect this. Hearing this, his complexion changed slightly. He was stunned for a long time before he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I understand, Aunt Jiaochi, don't worry, I won't embarrass you, nor will I give poetry to you."
My dear sister touched the dark."
In fact, Bai Guli was really shaken before Luo Jiaochao said this.
She couldn't bear to see Xiaoba crying so sadly, and Xiaoba said before that he wanted her to be his mother, which made her feel even more relaxed.
When I heard Luo Jiaocheng's words, it could be said that my whole body was alerted and I woke up instantly.
This is not just her personal wish, it also involves three mansions, and the status of these three mansions in the capital is not low.
If she herself was criticized, it would be okay. But because of the special location here, Prince Mo and his wife are all here. If she stays here, it is inevitable that they will also be criticized. Especially, she is following Jiao.
Aunt Chi came out.yyls
King Mo and his wife gave birth to Huaijin, and Huaijin was named the prince. They got into trouble, and Huaijin was involved in the end.
Thinking of this, Bai Guli thought again.
I'm afraid that if things really end up like this, her grandparents will definitely come over and beat her to death without saying a word.
And Tang Ming and Xiaoba will definitely not end well.
"Aunt Jiaocha, don't worry, I know what to do. I won't worry you at all. I will go back to Beijing with you early tomorrow morning. As you said, we can wait until the new year is over to talk about all this."
At worst, after the New Year, she would have someone come over to take Xiaoba to the capital.
Seeing her clear and determined eyes, Luo Jiaochao nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you know what to do, we'll set off at the beginning of the morning tomorrow. Remember to get up early!"
After leaving these words, Luo Jiaochi left.
In fact, it was still dark at Chenshi in Tuofeng Town. Luo Jiaocheng originally planned to leave after midnight, but she was afraid of another accident, so she decided to move ahead half an hour.
When Xiaoba was carried back by Xiangtao, he cried all the way.
After waiting at Tang's house, Tang Ming had not returned yet. Xiangtao carried Xiaoba to Old Man Tang's house and said, "Mr. Tang, I brought Xiaoba back to you."
Xiangtao said, handing over the wrapped oil paper: "These pastries are Xiaoba's favorite, and Madam asked me to bring some over."
Old Man Tang was unwell and had been lying on the bed.
Seeing Xiang Tao, he struggled to sit up and cupped his hands towards Xiang Tao: "Thank you, Mrs. Ruan!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiaoba. When he saw that his granddaughter's eyes were red and swollen and she was still sobbing, he felt heartbroken.
Xiangtao looked at him and knew that it was not good for him to ask Xiaoba why he was crying in front of her, so she said bluntly: "Miss Guli and his wife are going back to Beijing tomorrow, and Xiaoba couldn't bear to leave, so he kept crying."
Old Man Tang actually knew that Xiaoba regarded Bai Guli as his mother and would be reluctant to leave when he heard that she was leaving. Hearing this, he sighed slightly and felt that it was the right thing to do to let Tang Ming marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible.
He didn't know the specific identity of Bai Guli, and Tang Ming didn't tell him, but he could more or less guess it.
Who can make Mrs. Ruan call her "Miss"? How can she be so inferior?
Even though she is dressed in ordinary clothes and she doesn't look like a lady, when it comes to morality, everyone has their own preferences. Maybe she likes to dress like this?
Didn’t you see that before Princess Mo married King Mo, when she was a princess, she dressed in a very ordinary way?
She was a dignified princess. It was said that her business was doing very well, but now that she was rich, she even built bridges and roads for the people everywhere.
