Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

When they came back, Wan Qili and Su Bai still rode on the same horse, but the horse was replaced with the one Qian Rufei borrowed from Bai Ying and returned to Bai Ying.

Not as anxious as when she came, Wan Qili kept teasing Su Bai along the way. She told Su Bai that she felt for the first time what deep affection was from the look in Zhou Beiwang's eyes when he looked at Su Bai.

"Captain Zhou is good-looking and treats you well, I think you should marry him!"

"I think the only shortcoming is that his military rank is a bit low. Although he is a regiment commander, his regiment only has more than 500 people, which is not much more than a reinforced battalion. He is also a security division."

Wan Qili kept muttering, and Su Bai hugged her waist tightly and didn't respond to her, otherwise she would have said more.

"I think my sister needs to be at least a division commander to be worthy of her, but there aren't many young people with military ranks above division commander."

"Shut up, be careful not to fall off the horse!" Su Bai finally couldn't help but say something to her.

Wan Qili couldn't stop at all. She quickly rejected her own suggestion, thinking that even if Su Bai wanted to marry Zhou Beiwang, it shouldn't be now.

She believed that it was only a matter of time before China and Japan went to war. Once the war started, Zhou Beiwang would have to go to the battlefield. If Su Bai married him and he unfortunately died, wouldn't Su Bai become a widow just after getting married?

Su Bai retorted to her: "Compared with the life of a martyr, what is widowhood?"

"Hahaha, this is your true statement. You just want to marry him. Don't deny it!"

Su Bai found himself falling into her trap.

"Don't say such unlucky words. We all have to live and no one can die!"

Wan Qili had been making fun of him and Zhou Beiwang all the way, but Su Bai's concern was with Kong Dai. How should he ask Kong Dai? Should he just call him to the backyard?

After passing Xishankou and walking for a while, Wan Qili finally stopped joking after seeing the west gate of Longxing City in the distance. She asked Su Bai if he suspected that the person who attacked Zhou Beiwang was Kong Dai.

She also saw Kong Dai's large canvas bag.

"I think it's him." Su Bai told Wan Qili about Kong Dai's previous attitudes and behaviors towards her and Zhou Beiwang's relationship. Wan Qili agreed with Su Bai's judgment.

"Oh, why didn't we ask Captain Zhou? If they came back from Qingdao in the same car, would we still need to ask Kong Dai? It must be him!"

Su Bai pinched Wan Qili's waist hard, causing her to scream in pain.

"Sister, why are you pinching me? Aren't you afraid of falling off your horse?"

"It's all your fault!" Although Wan Qili cannot be blamed entirely, she must be responsible.

Zhou Beiwang would have understood the matter if he had just asked him, but he was so distracted by Wan Qili's curiosity about gossip that he hadn't even remembered such an important thing. He was really stupid.

"Forget it, I'll ask Zhou Beiwang tomorrow." Su Bai hadn't figured out how to interrogate Kong Dai. What if he didn't admit it? He could just go to Linhua tomorrow and find out.

After returning to Longxing and returning the horse to Bai Ying, Bai Ying asked about Zhou Beiwang's situation and went to see Zhou Beiwang without even leading the horse back to the stable.

Wan Qili immediately said, "Then Captain Bai, please ask Captain Zhou something..."

"No need," Su Bai interrupted her, thinking that it would be better to ask the question himself.

Soon after the two returned to the backyard of the Confucius Mansion, it was time for dinner.

The second lady Kong Yun came personally to deliver food to Su Bai.

"Sister-in-law, can I eat with you?" Before Su Bai could answer, Kong Yun picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the food before sitting down on the chair.

"Your mother's injury hasn't fully healed yet. What's the point of having dinner with me? Go back!"

"Your dishes are delicious," Kong Yun told Su Bai. From today on, Kong Man had decided and announced to the wives of each room that from now on, unless Su Bai made any request, Su Bai, as the head of the family, would have to have two more dishes than the other rooms at each meal.

"what the hell?"

Wan Qili understood why Kong Man did this. She publicly announced Su Bai's special treatment deliberately for the wives of the other rooms to see, so that they could figure out who was the pillar of the family and to establish Su Bai's authority.

I am really getting more and more confused about Kong Man.

Kong Yun also told Su Bai that even though he didn't finish what he said today, Kong Man already knew that the second young master Kong Nanwei was not the master's biological son.

Su Bai's guess was correct, she had had doubts before.

Su Bai asked Kong Yun to tell Kong Man that if she really recognized her as her eldest sister-in-law, she should not pursue the past, should not kick the Third Wife out of the Kong Mansion, and should not mention the matter again.

"Why?" From Kong Yun's question, it can be known that Kong Man is planning to use this matter to cause trouble for the third concubine.

But she immediately said that since her sister-in-law said so, Kong Man would definitely do it.

"Does your sister just listen to me?"

"Of course!"

Halfway through the meal, Kong Yun stammered to Su Bai that Xu Laohei on the mountain had been out of food for several days, and the second wife asked her to come and talk to Su Bai and find a way to get some food for the mountain.

"Tell your mother that I won't care!" Su Bai's answer was firm. Since the Second Wife had revealed all his secrets today, he would never agree to any of her conditions or requests again.

Only a few hours had passed, and she actually had the nerve to ask me for food on behalf of Xu Laohei?

Let’s get started.

Su Bai remembered what Cheng Zifeng had said to him, and said to Kong Yun: "Oh, I have a message. If Xu Laohei's people come to look for your mother, or if your mother can contact him, please tell him to go up the mountain. If he wants to live, leave Shili Peak immediately!"

"Why?" Kong Yun asked again.

"Why so many whys? I've told you what I want to say, believe it or not!"

"Isn't it enough that I believe him?" Kong Yun pouted and muttered, "No matter what, Xu Laohei also saved my mother's life. It's okay to give him less food."

"Not a single one!" Su Bai simply made it clear. If it was Xu Laohei who came to see him, he might help him a little, but if he passed the message through the Second Wife, there would be no discussion.

To put it bluntly, it means not giving the second wife any face.

"If I wasn't afraid that you would be sad and hate me, do you think I would save your mother's life?" This sentence was said more tactfully, meaning that if it wasn't for the second young lady's face, it would not be a question of whether the second wife would save her life or not, but she would have killed her long ago.

"Sister-in-law, you can't..."

"Don't worry," Su Bai touched Kong Yun's face and said, "I treat you as my own sister. I won't do anything to your mother, but please ask her to behave herself."

Kong Yun buried his head and shoveled rice into his mouth in big mouthfuls. He stopped talking and his tears fell into the bowl.

Su Bai couldn't bear it, so he took out a handkerchief and asked her to wipe her tears: "I'll tell you something you don't want to hear. Your mother will ask for ten feet if you give her one foot. Don't worry, I won't give her any less than she deserves, but I won't give her any extra requests. You are different. Whatever you want, as long as your sister-in-law can do it, I will give it to you."

Kong Yun nodded vigorously.

It's hard enough for her.

"I can help with Xu Laohei's matter, but if your mother asks me for it, I won't give it to her," Su Bai said again.

Wan Qili woke Kong Yun up: "Your sister-in-law has said so much, but you still don't understand? If someone else comes to ask your sister-in-law for help, she will help, like you... Do you understand?"

Kong Yun burst out laughing, what a child.
