I don't know how Gu Yan informed the Bai family, but the Bai family really regarded this return visit as a big event. Mr. Bai, Madam Bai, and his 19 concubines all went out together, with his legitimate children lined up in a row, which looked like the posture of welcoming a leader to the countryside in the previous life.
Gu Yan ordered the servants to bring out the return gifts. Master Bai looked at the brocade boxes one after another and smiled like a chrysanthemum. He showed his gold teeth and tried to get close to her, saying "Hello, son-in-law" left and right, which made Bai Zhi feel sick.
"Father-in-law, I have another gift." Gu Yan ordered his servants to take out a heavy brocade box. Gu Yan opened the lid and found dozens of golden ingots inside.
Bai Zhi cried in her heart, what a waste! This is not the way to spend money! Why didn't you give me the money?
Mr. Bai was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, Gu Yan raised his sleeve to stop him: "My son-in-law has an unreasonable request."
Mr. Bai stared at the gold ingot and replied absentmindedly: "Speak, sir!"
Gu Yan fanned himself and said slowly, "Zhi'er has been in a bad mood these days. Since you are Zhi'er's father, you must understand your daughter. As long as your father-in-law can find a way to make Zhi'er laugh once, I will give her a gold ingot. If she laughs twice, I will give her two gold ingots. If you can make Zhi'er laugh heartily, I will give her the whole box."
Mr. Bai's expression suddenly turned very ugly.
Bai Zhi froze right where she was.
What kind of approach is this? Are you really coming back just to get slapped in the face?
Mrs. Bai didn't feel embarrassed at all, and came up to Mr. Bai and urged him, "Hurry up, tell Zhi'er some jokes."
Mr. Bai angrily waved Mrs. Bai away and said, "Shut up now!"
Mrs. Bai was pushed and staggered, and her skirt was stepped on, and she fell straight to her knees on the ground. Seeing this, Bai Zhi burst out laughing.
Gu Yan took out a gold ingot and presented it to Madam Bai: "Mother-in-law is really creative."
Mrs. Bai happily accepted the gold, but Mr. Bai scolded her, "What a disgrace! Get up now!"
Seeing this, the legitimate children and concubines all showed their magical powers - the legitimate daughter stripped off the legitimate son's belt and his pants, the third concubine pulled off the ninth concubine's hairpin and her wig fell off, Baizhi laughed one after another, and the scene was in chaos.
Gu Yan was about to hand out gold to everyone one by one, when Bai Zhi took the brocade box from the servant and said, "Husband, I'll do it."
Gu Yan nodded, and saw Bai Zhi grab the brocade box and wave it, scattering the gold ingots all over the floor.
Everyone in the field immediately started to scramble for the ball.
Seeing this, Gu Yan also fanned himself and laughed.
"Everyone, get up! You are making a fool of yourself!" Master Bai shouted angrily. Then everyone put on their clothes and stood up, standing in a crooked position, for fear that the gold ingots in their arms would fall out.
Mr. Bai was furious and asked Gu Yan, "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
Gu Yan pretended to be puzzled and asked, "My son-in-law came to give me gold, why is my father-in-law angry?"
Bai Zhi bent down and picked up a gold ingot that had fallen at her feet and had not been picked up yet. She walked up to Master Bai and said, "Father, you don't have to be angry if you didn't get the gold. How can you want both gold and face? How can this be possible?"
She held the gold ingot in front of Mr. Bai and said, "I'll give you one more chance. Call me aunt and I'll give you a reward."
Mr. Bai was so angry that he trembled: "You, you unfilial daughter!"
Bai Zhi's expression froze, she threw down the gold, raised her hand and gave Mr. Bai a loud slap in the face.
"It's a matter of reciprocity. You slapped me, and I slapped you back." Bai Zhi looked down at Master Bai, who was still stunned after being slapped to the ground by her. "After today, if you dare to come to the Marquis' Mansion to cause trouble, I will slap you every time I see you."
After saying this, Bai Zhi straightened her sleeves and walked away.
Qiaoqiao was waiting beside the carriage. Seeing Baizhi coming out with trembling steps, she hurried forward to support her: "Miss! What's wrong with you? Are you being bullied?"
Gu Yan laughed loudly and said, "Your young lady was in the limelight today. Not only was she not bullied, she also bullied others."
Bai Zhi patted Qiaoqiao's hand comfortingly: "Don't worry, I just hit someone too hard and I feel a little dizzy."
Qiaoqiao was shocked and said, "Hit, hit someone?"
Bai Zhi forced herself to pull herself together and told Qiaoqiao what happened inside in vivid detail. Qiaoqiao said excitedly, "Miss! You, you are awesome! You finally got rid of your anger! These people will never dare to look down on you again! Hahahahahaha, you even hit the master, Miss. It's such a pity that I didn't see it! Miss, no one will bully us anymore..."
Bai Zhi saw Qiaoqiao was crying and quickly comforted her, "Okay, okay, no one will bully us anymore."
Gu Yan interrupted softly: "Qiaoqiao, help Madam get on the carriage and rest."
Qiaoqiao nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, Miss... Madam, please get in the carriage and rest!"
Bai Zhi got into the carriage and closed her eyes to rest. She was still weak, having almost exhausted all her strength from throwing the gold ingots and hitting someone.
This medicine soup is not effective. Why do I still feel so weak? Bai Zhi sighed.
If this continues, when will we be able to escape?
Gu Yan told the coachman to drive slowly, and after Bai Zhi had rested for a while, he asked, "Madam, are you feeling better?"
Bai Zhi opened her eyes. The stars were no longer visible in front of her eyes. She had indeed recovered.
Bai Zhi nodded and said, "Better."
Gu Yan used the handle of his fan to knock off a lotus relief on the roof of the carriage. At that moment, a mechanism inside the carriage slid, and the wooden boards of the carriage changed up and down, left and right, wrapping the carriage tightly. In the corner, an oil lamp made of unknown material rose.
After the change, the room fell silent. The sound of horseshoes and wooden wheels, which had been very clear just now, now sounded very far away.
At this point, even if Gu Yan raised his hand to transform into Ultraman, Bai Zhi would not be surprised anymore. She clapped her hands and exclaimed sincerely, "It's a masterpiece."
Gu Yan's expression was hard to read under the dimming light, and he slowly said, "Since the day you married into the mansion, I have sent spies to keep an eye on you. I saw you crying alone in your room, I saw you falling into the water, I heard you planning to escape from the mansion, I heard you asking Qiaoqiao to go outside the city to buy medicine, I saw you rummaging around Yishui Garden, and I saw you looking for my name seal hidden in the study."
Her past was exposed.
Although the atmosphere was quite tense, Bai Zhi was not nervous at all. The only thing she could think of was to complain - where did he get those awesome eyeliners?
Bai Zhi stretched her muscles, put aside her ladylike demeanor, and leaned carelessly on the board behind her: "What do you want me to do?"
If Gu Yan wanted to kill her, he would have done it long ago. He must have something to ask for by staying with her until now.
Gu Yan chuckled: "I want you to continue to be my wife for three years at most, then I will set you free. During this period, I will protect your life and provide you with food and clothing, and you must do whatever I ask you to do, and you cannot ask any more questions."
