The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply
Chapter 75: Mrs. Bai's loophole
I don’t know what Mrs. Bai went through in her early years. She was so exhausted mentally, as if she had overdrawn her lifespan in advance. She felt like she was fifty at the age of forty.
When Bai Zhaozhao first saw her after being adopted, she was happily making clothes for Bai Lin. The woman who took care of her said that she had been sick before, and the doctor in town said that she was extremely weak and might not be able to hold on!
Unexpectedly, after Bai Linzhong learned the news about Li Yuan, she miraculously survived!
At that time, Bai Zhaozhao knew that in the original plot, Bai Lin missed the exam and was seriously injured. Mrs. Bai probably couldn't bear the blow and really died!
How desperate was Bai Shihong at that time?
Now that Bai Zhaozhao has tried his best, Mrs. Bai still cannot move around too much and can only stay at home. Fortunately, she likes her current life very much and is happy to cook for Bai Zhaozhao and sew clothes for him every day.
Seeing Bai Zhaozhao looking thoughtful, Madam Bai smiled and said, "It's only four or five days' journey to the capital, and we're not walking fast, so there's nothing to worry about. Once we buy the house, I'll happily be an old lady and drink ginseng soup every day to keep healthy!"
Bai Zhaozhao smiled and nodded. If that was the case, then Mrs. Bai would have no problem living a few more years.
Bai Shihong also smiled and said, "Madam is right. Now our children are doing well. Your husband can even pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi. Our Bai family is really different now! From now on, you can eat ginseng and bird's nest whenever you want!"
Madam Bai glared at him and said, "You are quite arrogant, as if you will definitely pass the imperial examination. Don't worry, I know my own body well, and I still have to see Zhao Zhao get married in the future!"
Bai Zhaozhao, who was caught in the crossfire: …
At this time, Mrs. Bai looked dazed, as if she was recalling something. She murmured to herself, "The little baby I brought back that year has grown up so fast... I feel at ease even if I close my eyes..."
Bai Shihong held her hand and said, "Alright, don't mention the past. Zhao Zhao is our daughter now!"
Mrs. Bai came to her senses and said, "Yes, yes! Look at what I am talking about!"
As he said this, he glanced at Bai Zhaozhao cautiously.
Bai Zhaozhao was struck by lightning, as if something sealed away had been opened. A picture appeared in his mind, which was from the memory of the original owner:
"Zhao Zhao, come and have some cakes!" A beautiful woman handed the cakes to the little girl.
The girl took it and said sweetly, "Thank you, auntie."
Then came the grandfather's voice: "When you grow up, Zhao, remember how good your aunt was to you!"
"Okay!" the girl responded with a smile.
But the woman in front of him froze and never came again.
The memories came to an abrupt end, and Bai Zhaozhao was a little surprised. It turned out that Mrs. Bai liked her very much when she was very young and often brought her delicious food, but later Mrs. Bai no longer appeared, and she gradually forgot about it.
Bai Zhaozhao held Mrs. Bai's hand and said very seriously, "I remember now. You often came to see me when I was very young! You also brought me delicious food! What did you mean by the little baby you brought back?"
Mrs. Bai and Bai Shihong looked at each other, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.
But Bai Zhaozhao still looked at them firmly.
After a long while, Madam Bai said softly, "Zhao Zhao, actually I...picked you up from the forest, but I couldn't afford to raise you and I had to take care of Lin Ge'er, so I left you at your grandfather's house. He liked you as soon as he saw you, and said that he had no children, so he adopted you.
The clan leader also knew about this, but in order to prevent others from spreading rumors about me, he just said that it was your grandfather who picked you up.
But at the beginning, I was afraid that you couldn't survive, so I often brought you some food. Later, as you know, my health became worse and worse, so I stopped visiting you!"
Mrs. Bai said with guilt in her eyes, as if pleading, "Zhao Zhao, please don't blame me, okay? I have always been thinking about you! During the days of the provincial examination last year, I fell seriously ill and thought I would die soon. I even wrote a will hoping that the clan would treat you well! But I survived and burned the will... It's true, Zhao Zhao, everything I said is true!"
Bai Zhaozhao hurriedly comforted her: "Okay, I get it, mom. Don't get excited. I understand! I believe everything you said! I believe you have always been thinking about me! Thank you for picking me up. I am very satisfied with where I am today!"
Bai Shihong also comforted her softly, and after a long time, Mrs. Bai finally calmed down.
But Bai Zhaozhao's heart was in turmoil. Mrs. Bai's words were obviously full of loopholes! Especially since she repeatedly emphasized that what she said was true, she was afraid that Bai Zhaozhao would not believe it!
In fact, Bai Zhaozhao believed that she was picked up by her, but it was not a big deal. What was there to hide?
She gave Bai Zhaozhao to Grandpa Bai, and it was understandable that she stopped visiting Bai Zhaozhao after a few years. Why did she look so guilty? It was as if she should have adopted herself but didn't!
She said that she sent delicious food because she was afraid that Bai Zhaozhao couldn't support himself, but Grandpa Bai was a doctor in the village and his life was pretty good. He was more than capable of raising a child like Zhuozhuo, so how could he not be able to support him?
So she must be very concerned about Bai Zhaozhao and can't help but check on her often.
She said that she stopped coming because of her poor health, but in Bai Zhaozhao's memory, she stopped coming because of what her grandfather said!
So the fact should be that Bai Zhaozhao grew up a little and started to have memories, and she didn't want Bai Zhaozhao to remember her!
What made Bai Zhaozhao think deeply was that she said she had written a will asking her clan to take care of her!
Then she should have been written in the original storyline! And the original owner should have been an apprentice in the Jishitang in the town at that time!
Could it be that... it was not only because of Grandpa Bai, but also because of Mrs. Bai's last words, that made Bai Shikang and Patriarch Bai help the original owner so much when the original owner encountered a medical lawsuit and was falsely accused of theft!
Now think about it, when Grandpa Bai wanted me to be adopted into the direct branch, was he trying to return me to Madam Bai?
Bai Zhaozhao was feeling uneasy, always feeling like he had neglected something but couldn't remember where it was.
On the way, they arrived at Xingji County and found a large inn to rest. Although there were still two months to go to the Spring Examination, a small number of candidates had already started to go to Beijing, so there were many people staying in the inn.
Bai Zhaozhao chatted and laughed with Bai Lin and Bai Hao as usual, and went to her room after dinner.
Bai Shihong and his wife breathed a sigh of relief and went to sleep peacefully.
As soon as Bai Zhaozhao entered the room, she locked the door and went to her space. She came to the screen of the forum and began to write down her conversation with Mrs. Bai. She also expressed her guess and finally asked netizens if she had missed anything.
