Bai Jiyue and Bai Jiri nodded at the same time.

The three of them sat and drank tea for a while. Bai Jiri thought of something and asked Cen Changqing, "Uncle, how long have you been with my father?"

Cen Changqing stroked his beard and smiled, "I followed your father when I was fourteen. At that time, your father was just a centurion. Later, I followed him all the way up the career ladder until he became a general. I was able to handle things on my own, so I changed my job to become a civil servant and became a prefect."

"So, you followed my father before he got married?" Bai Jiri's eyes lit up.

Bai Jiyue instantly understood what he wanted to ask. He must be asking about Yan Niang.

Now their mother's life experience is a mystery, and Bai Jiri wants to ask others about the past.

Sure enough, he asked Cen Changqing: "Then you know about my father and mother, right?"

"What's going on with your father and mother?"

Bai Jiri nodded: "That's how my father and mother met! My parents never told us about their acquaintance, but we are really curious, do you know?"

Cen Changqing looked at Bai Jiri with a meaningful expression: "You want to ask me about your mother's life experience, right?"

Bai Yiri patted his head and smiled: "Yes. You must have seen that my sister and I both have the blood of the craftsman clan. We want to know how my mother and father met and how they got together."

Unexpectedly, Cen Changqing shook his head and said, "I can't give you an answer to this, because it was only today that I saw that you two brothers and sisters have the same bloodline, and then I knew that your mother is from the craftsman tribe. Before this, I had never heard your father talk about this."

"Then what happened to my mother back then? Why doesn't she remember anything about the past?" Bai Jiri asked.

Cen Changqing still shook his head: "Your mother was saved by your father during the war. At that time, your father was still a deputy general. When he followed the army to fight and returned victorious, he saved your mother halfway. At that time, your mother was dying, and we all suggested that your father leave her alone. Who knew that your father insisted on saving your mother, and even asked the general for leave to come out of the army in order to save your mother.

"Fortunately, the general was a reasonable man. It was not easy for soldiers in the army to get married. Seeing that your father seemed to really care about your mother, he agreed to your father's request and let him leave the army temporarily. Your father took your mother to live in a nearby village for a few months and slowly cured your mother's illness.

"Later, your father brought your mother back to the capital, and we learned that he had married your mother. Your mother is beautiful, but too weak. Your father held her in his heart and took care of her. The two of them were a perfect match, and it was a good story. However, when we asked about your mother's background, your father said he didn't know. And your mother seemed to have forgotten the past and couldn't tell her identity and background.

"But none of these things affected their relationship. Not long after, you were born, Bai Jiri. A few years later, they had another girl."

Cen Changqing said this and smiled at Bai Jiyue: "Jiyue, I still remember that you almost died when you were born. The weather was cold and your mother was weak after giving birth. Your father held you in his arms without taking off his clothes and pulled you back from the brink of death. Later, you grew up to be a cute and lovely girl."

As he spoke, he stared at Bai Jiyue's face for a moment, smacked his lips and said, "The Dark Stone Wasteland really doesn't support people. Look at that delicate and fair girl back then. Now she's skinny and yellow, and she has freckles all over her face."

Bai Jiyue touched her face, she also felt strange.

In her memory, the original owner was very good-looking when she lived in the capital. However, after coming to the Dark Stone Wasteland, the freckles on her face increased day by day, and her skin became sallow. Although her facial features were still delicate, her overall appearance was not outstanding.

If it is said that the Dark Stone Wasteland cannot support people, the eldest brother Bai Ji Ri has become more and more handsome with the passing of time, and Zhang Su Ya is also fair and pretty, so why is she not supported?

After coming out of the prefect's mansion, Bai Jiri sighed softly.

Bai Jiyue knew what he was thinking and comforted him, "Brother, no matter who our mother is, she is still our mother after all. Don't dwell on her past."

"I'm just confused. If you and I both have dual bloodlines, it would be fine, but why do you know the skills of three races? I really can't figure it out."

He looked up at the starry sky and said in a faint voice: "I don't know why, but I always feel that there is a reason behind this. However, I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try. I'm afraid it's something bad—"

Before he could finish his words, Bai Jiyue held his hand.

He turned to look at his eldest sister and saw that her eyes seemed like stars in the sky.

"Brother, no matter what the reason is, you must remember that we are always a family, a loving family!"

Bai Jiri felt warm in his heart and reached out to ruffle her hair: "Of course, our family will never separate in the future!"

-

The date for entering Beijing is set for half a month later.

The next day, Bai Jiyue and his family prepared to return to the village.

While checking out of the inn, Xie Ping suddenly came over and said, "I said before that Su Ya and I would treat you to a meal, but I never did. Now that you are leaving today, let me treat you to a meal, okay?"

Bai Jiyun stretched his head and saw that Zhang Suya didn't follow him. He couldn't help but snorted coldly: "I guess your wife doesn't want to treat us to a meal! There's no need to do so. It will save you from quarreling with her when you go back--"

"Jiyun!" Bai Jiyue interrupted in a deep voice, "Don't be unreasonable!"

Bai Jiyun snorted and said nothing.

Xie Ping said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Su Ya just feels a little unwell, so she asked me to take you there on her behalf."

Bai Jiyue smiled politely at Xie Ping: "Brother Xie, we appreciate your kindness. Let's forget about the meal. We will meet again in half a month. We will have many days to spend together in the future. There is no need to be so polite!"

She was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Xie Ping was a good person, and she thought that for Xie Ping's sake, she would not bother with Zhang Suya. As long as Zhang Suya lived with Xie Ping wholeheartedly in the future, she would help them.

So she didn't want Xie Ping to treat them to a meal, which would cause Zhang Suya to become suspicious.

Unexpectedly, Xie Ping said, "Not only you, I also invited Ma Qiao and Zhu Yuan. We will all be companions in the future, so it is only natural for us to get together now. Let's go, don't be polite!"

Seeing his hospitality and thinking about Ma Qiao and Zhu Yuan being there, Bai Jiyue agreed.

At that moment, the Bai family followed Xie Ping to Yuebin Building in the county town.

Xie Ping booked a private room at Yuebin Building. After everyone sat down, they exchanged pleasantries.

When Ma Qiao saw Yan Niang, he immediately called her "Aunt" respectfully. Yan Niang responded with a smile and told him not to be restrained.

Zhu Yuan had sharp eyes. He nudged Ma Qiao and asked, "Ma Qiao, you and Bai Jiyue have known each other for a long time, right?"
