Chapter 409: Grandma Bai’s goddaughter.
Li Mu was whimsically thinking about his own "life experience".
She was afraid that she and Bai Luofu would become long-lost siblings.
Ge Peining listened with great interest to Bai Luofu's story about the two of them.
From a girl's perspective, she would not be as perfunctory as Li Mu's.
The desperate girl and the banished immortal.
Bai Luofu was generous with her praise and did not even bother to hide her feelings.
She knew very well that the matter of Mang Gu could not be kept secret, and this might prevent Grandmother Bai from taking her anger out on Li Mu.
Grandma Bai just looked at her granddaughter tenderly. Seeing that she couldn't help crying, she stroked her cheek with her wrinkled hands.
"Good boy, Mom knows everything."
"Auntie!"
At this time, Bai A Niang's face changed and she was about to speak again.
But he met Grandmother Bai's gloomy gaze. When their eyes met, he felt a chill down his spine.
She knew that Grandma Bai was really angry this time.
But what can she do? She was coerced by the elders of the tribe, and she failed to get the twins. Not only was she Bai Luofu's mother, but she was also the daughter of the tribe leader.
Besides, the daughter of the Bai family has the Mang Gu by her side, so no matter who she marries, her husband will not treat her unfairly.
Thinking of this, Bai A Niang's face also showed indignation. She had worked hard over the years, and the life of the Yiwu family was getting better and better.
She did feel somewhat indebted to her daughter Bai Luofu, but she also vented her anger for her daughter after falling out with the clan elders before.
She stared at Grandma Bai stubbornly, kneeling just because she was her daughter, which didn't mean she was wrong.
Grandmother Bai knew her daughter very well. Seeing her expression, she didn't say anything else, but asked directly:
"Is it Yu Wushi that you picked for Xiao Fuhua?"
"Yes..." Bai A Niang nodded, and then glared at Bai Luozhi. She had only told her eldest daughter about this matter.
"Shang Beng grew up with Fu Fu since childhood. Every time he came to see Fu Fu, she was very happy. As her mother, I can see it."
"Okay, okay, okay!" Bai A Niang seemed to be so angry that she laughed. She said okay three times in a row, lowered her head and looked at Bai Luofu and asked,
"Tell mom if you are willing to marry the merchant's son."
"I..." Bai Luofu just uttered a word, looked at Bai A Niang, then pursed her lips and stopped talking.
"Why are you looking at her? Just tell the truth to mom."
"I, I won't marry him. I hate him the most. He has bullied me since I was a child and even let the Gu beast chase me."
Bai Luofu shrank her neck and simply closed her eyes and shouted,
"My mother always forces me to associate with him. I hate my mother!"
"Fu Fu!" Hearing this, Bai A Niang frowned and looked at Grandmother Bai and said,
"It's normal for children to have some conflicts. Shang Beng is a very talented child with decent character. After they get married, they will..."
"What is it!" Grandmother Bai didn't wait for Aunt Bai to finish her words. She waved her sleeves and a blood-red slap mark landed on her face.
"Is this how you become a mother?"
Bai A Niang felt her face burning, and endless anger and sourness surged in her heart. She stiffened her neck and continued:
"Parents should make the decision about their children's marriages. If you have any objections, then Fu Fu's marriage will be left to you to worry about!"
"Oh, good, little bell has grown up..."
Grandmother Bai sneered, a hint of bitterness flashed in her eyes.
"Who was it that secretly met with the boy from the Luo family and broke off the engagement with the Huo family? Now that you are the clan leader, you are able to speak well."
Hearing the past, Bai A Niang's face suddenly turned a little ugly. Thinking back to the past, she seemed dissatisfied with the marriage that A Niang had arranged for her.
With no other options, they started to learn from the barbarians next door. This method was most effective among the Yiwu clan.
However, after Grandmother Bai learned about this, instead of blaming her, she helped her withstand the pressure from the clan.
"But I'm also doing this for the Medical Witch Clan."
Although Bai A Niang's momentum weakened a bit, she still spoke stubbornly.
"Okay, let me ask you!" Grandmother Bai lowered her eyes to look at the cloth bag in Bai A Niang's hand, and her tone seemed to be mocking.
"How are you going to repay this favor?"
"This..." Bai A Niang seemed to have noticed something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong, so she could only bite the bullet and say,
"I have discussed this with the elders of the clan. The Medical Witch Clan will do its best..."
"Stupid!" Grandmother Bai didn't wait for her to finish her words. Her voice, which contained true energy, immediately made Bai A Niang's head buzz.
"The Xia people have hundreds of families, and their heritage is more than a thousand years old."
"Let's not talk about the value of these two flowers. You are relying on the fact that we are in the Southern Region and the other party is a junior. You are planning to bully them and send them away with money. That's not right!"
"Yes!" Bai A Niang gritted her teeth. She should have thought of all this, but she was a little confused when she saw these twin flowers before.
He looked at Bai Luofu, who was kneeling obediently beside Grandma Bai's legs, and asked cautiously:
"Then I will invite someone here tomorrow to discuss Fu Fu's marriage..."
"You bastard!" Grandmother Bai showed a rare look of anger on her face, pointing at Bai A Niang and cursing,
"You want to sell your daughter again. Have you discussed this with Fu Fu?"
"As a mother, you treat your daughter's life as a tool and have no regard for her feelings at all."
"As a clan leader, you are short-sighted, stubborn, and have long been alienated from other clans. You think you can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, but you turn against others without regard for the consequences when you gain the upper hand. Is this all you have learned over the years?"
Bai A Niang's face turned green and red at what Grandmother Bai said. After a long while, she asked with a bitter face:
"Then according to what A Niang said, what should I do as a doctor to Wu Shi?"
"You are the patriarch, what do you think?"
Grandmother Bai didn't even look at Bai A Niang and threw the question back.
"I don't know. Everything is decided by my mother."
Grandmother Bai saw that Aunt Bai was actually throwing a tantrum, so she simply looked at Bai Luozhi beside her and asked:
"What do you think we should do?"
Bai Luozhi was holding the wooden box, counting the petals of the twin flowers inside. When she heard her name being called, she snapped the box shut and said quickly:
"Mom, I think we should invite him here first. Not only did he save Fu Fu, but this twin has done a great favor to our Yiwu clan."
"We should express our sincerity first no matter what."
Bai Luozhi raised his chin, and his thoughts gradually became clear:
"At that time, if we can accept his request, we will all be happy. If not, we will return the couple immediately. I believe that the other party will not make it too difficult for us."
"Of course, if the other party makes trouble, I, the witch doctor, am not weak and can be bullied."
Bai Luozhi spoke in a strong tone, with pride in his eyes when he mentioned the Yiwu family.
Bai A'niang was dumbfounded. She felt that her daughter was planning to abdicate and usurp the throne. If she was not on guard, there might be a Yaoze Incident.
Bai Luozhi said all these nice words. The way she held the box so preciously didn't seem to have any intention of returning the twins.
Especially since it was she who said before that the Zhongzhou man and Bai Luofu were in love with each other. Now she is talking about returning the couple. It's simply shameless!
Grandmother Bai nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Aunt Bai again and said:
"Did you hear everything?"
"I heard it!" Bai A Niang nodded and replied through gritted teeth.
At the moment, Grandmother Bai is obviously disappointed with her and is preparing to help Bai Luozhi take the position.
However, although she felt aggrieved, she had already trained Bai Luozhi to be the future patriarch.
Now all I can do is wait until Grandma Bai is gone and then give Bai Luozhi a good beating to vent my anger.
"Go ahead and do it if you hear it! Remember not to lose face for my Witch Doctor clan."
Immediately, Grandma Bai's tone suddenly became heavier, and she continued,
"Don't let my daughter of the Bai family be wronged!"
"I'll do it?" Bai A Niang looked up in surprise, only to see Bai Luozhi winking at her with a smirk on his face.
Bai A Niang was stunned for a while before she realized that she had been taught a lesson.
"I will follow my mother's instructions."
Smiling bitterly in her heart, Bai A Niang had never expected that after being the patriarch of the Yiwu clan for so many years, she would still have to clean up the mess for her.
