Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Yes, we’ve been apart for so long. I miss them too. Perhaps they’re really waiting for me in the next city.”

Although she had just seen the babies yesterday and spent quite some time with them, MO Ruyue was telling the truth when she said that she missed them.

This time, after everyone reunited, they would always be together. As for when they could completely settle down, that would have to wait until they reached the capital.

While MO Ruyue was hurrying toward her destination, the Bai Family was facing an unprecedented crisis.

In a secluded courtyard, Bai Shiyuan frowned as he read the letter in his hand. He got up and paced back and forth in the room.

“Why did this matter leak out? Didn’t the informant at that time already arrange it and send it far away?

After walking back and forth a few times, his emotions eased slightly before he asked the messenger.

“Young Master, the higher-ups have never stopped investigating our Bai family. Back then, the head of the family gave up half of his family business in exchange for decades of low-key endurance.”

“After this natural disaster, the higher-ups are worried that our Bai family will take the opportunity to make a comeback. Therefore, under the guise of disaster relief, they are actually taking advantage of the situation to uproot many of the shops that we have been operating for a long time.”

“I didn’t expect that there would be a descendant of someone who knew the truth inside. He confessed everything he knew without even using torture.”

“Does Father know about this?”

Bai Shiyuan asked.

After Master Bai got better, he lived in seclusion in a small city in order to command the remaining forces of the Bai family.

Under Bai Shiyuan’s lead, the Bai family headed north to a safer place Once they found a suitable place, they would once again hide in seclusion.

This was the original plan, but before Bai Shiyuan could find a suitable place, something happened.

“The family head has also received the news. He has also sent a message to the young master. He wants you to immediately move your family again. If it really doesn’t work, you can only enter the mountains.”

Bai Shiyuan’s heart sank when he heard the messenger’s words.

It seemed that the current situation was quite serious. Otherwise, his father would not have said that he wanted the Bai family to enter the mountain.

They had a secret base hidden in a mountain in the north, but there were still hundreds of miles to go. There were many checkpoints along the way, and it would be very difficult to get through.

During the journey north, the Bai family and the Xiao family lost contact. If it was said that in the days after the natural disaster, everything was chaotic and they had not been able to contact each other, it would be fine. However, it had been more than a month since the disaster, and they had not been able to contact each other. This was simply too strange.

One had to know that the Xiao family specialized in intelligence. If such a professional person could not find the whereabouts of the Bai family, how could it be possible?

“Send a message back to my father. Tell him that I understand and will leave for the north on the same day. Tell him not to worry.”

After Bai Shiyuan sent the messenger away, he was the only one left in the room, sitting quietly.

The Bai family had never had the intention of rebelling. However, they were helpless. Just the wealth and reputation they had accumulated over hundreds of years was enough to make any emperor wary.

In order to protect the Bai familys bloodline, the ancestors exhausted all their efforts and left bases in various parts of the country for emergency evacuation.

It was just that most of the southern ones should have been destroyed in this natural disaster, but the northern ones were too close to the capital, the center of power, and did not dare to expand at all.

But now, The Imperial Court had captured the descendant of the most important insider. To the Bai family, this was equivalent to another catastrophe.

“If the Bai family can’t survive this calamity, then many promises to Lady Qin can’t be fulfilled.”

Bai Shiyuan muttered to himself.

He didn’t know why he thought of MO Ruyue at this moment.

She had saved almost all of the Bai family’s people. This kindness was greater than the heavens. It was not something that could be repaid with a lot of wealth.

The Bai Family had made a solemn promise to her. As long as she was alive, the Bai Family would always help MO Ruyue’s family with all their might.

No matter what price they had to pay, as long as the Bai family was still breathing, this promise would continue.

However, no one had expected that the Bai Family’s calamity had already arrived before MO Ruyue’s family’s troubles.

Just as Bai Shiyuan was racking his brains on how to safely and secretly bring the Bai family members through the blockade line of hundreds of miles to the nearest fortress in the north, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

“Husband, may I come in?

Mrs. Bai’s voice came from outside the door.

Bai Shiyuan raised his head and realized that the sun’s shadow outside the window had already shifted. Just as he was deep in thought, time had already slipped away.

With Bai Shiyuan’s permission, the door was slowly pushed open.

A beautiful and gentle woman walked in with a tray. Although there was a hint of worry in her eyes, she quickly changed into a gentle smile when she entered.

“Shiyuan, I heard that you didn’t eat lunch. Is your wound hurting again? I made you some easy to digest porridge. Have some.”

As she spoke, she placed the dishes on the table.

“The wound doesn’t hurt anymore. Wifey, don’t worry. I’m not hungry now. Let’s eat together during dinner.”

Bai Shiyuan’s mind was filled with the crisis that the Bai family was facing now. How could he be in the mood to eat anything?

“Then, I’ll put the food here first. Remember to eat it while it’s hot.”

The beautiful woman wanted to persuade him again, but she swallowed her words hesitantly.

She did not know what trouble her husband had encountered that made him so worried. The last time she saw him like this was when her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were both in danger.

Could it be that the Bai family had encountered another huge crisis?

She thought to herself, but she couldn’t ask this question. He didn’t say it because he didn’t want her to worry.

“Okay, Wifey, go and see if Mother and Younger Sister need any help. I still have some things to deal with, so I won’t accompany you for now.”

Bai Shiyuan thought of the letter hidden in his bosom, and his heart suddenly felt heavy. He could only force out a smile.

The beautiful woman nodded. She knew that even if she stayed here, she would not be of much help, but she still walked over and placed her hand on his shoulder, massaging his acupuncture points a few times.

“Husband, Father is not at home now. You are our backbone. But no matter what happens, don’t keep it in your heart. I can share your worries.”

“Yes, Wifey, I’m sorry for making you worry.”

Bai Shiyuan closed his eyes slightly, allowing himself to indulge in his wife’s massage for a while. Then, he opened his eyes and patted the back of her hand twice.

After the beautiful woman left, Bai Shiyuan looked at the steaming porridge and side dishes on the table. Finally, he picked up the spoon and started eating in small bites.

She was right. Her father was also busy at the moment. Even if it was for his wife and children, he had to shoulder this burden.

The Bai family could not fall here like this. Then, even if he went to the underworld, he would not have the face to face his ancestors.

Only after eating, having strength and a clear mind could one deal with all kinds of unexpected situations and make the most correct choice..
