Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron
Chapter 5: Salvation
Hu Yong raised his hand and shook it vigorously in front of Bai Yixing's eyes, shouting, "Master...Master..."
Bai Yixing finally reacted and asked, "Where are they? Where did Miss Ling San go?"
Hu Yong said: "They have been gone for nearly a quarter of an hour."
Bai Yixing scratched his head and said, "We've been gone for a quarter of an hour?"
"Yeah, didn't you wave goodbye to her?"
"No way, I waved goodbye to her?" Bai Yixing was a little incredulous.
"Master, I think you've been poisoned! But the third young lady of the Ling family is indeed pretty, much prettier than her two elder sisters. How can she be ugly?"
Bai Yixing said happily: "You are right, then...what should I do now?"
"What else can we do? We have to listen to the mistress's arrangements and go to the Third Miss's house to propose marriage!" Hu Yong looked even more excited than Bai Yixing.
Bai Yixing patted his forehead and said, "That's right, this is a lifelong event. Although the blood-lettered marriage contract cannot be torn up, it would be troublesome if I don't propose marriage and they refuse to marry me."
Bai Yixing hurried back home without even bothering to install the four dismantled doors of the ancestral temple.
Dai has woken up and was fed ginseng soup by the maid. She looks much better.
Bai Yixing was very happy when he learned that his future wife Ling Shuxue was not an ugly woman with dark spots on her face, but was very beautiful. When he returned home and saw his mother, who had fainted due to his anger, had woken up, he was even more delighted.
He said excitedly: "Mother, when can I go to the Ling family to propose marriage?"
Dai was very surprised to see that Bai Yixing changed his mind after going out. She asked, "Yixing, who did you meet when you went out? Are you finally willing to go to the Ling family to propose marriage?"
Bai Yixing said: "I... I haven't seen anyone, but I feel bad about making my mother worry about this matter, so... so I am willing to go to the Ling family and propose to their third lady Ling Shuxue." It was not easy to say that he changed his mind after seeing that Ling Shuxue was so beautiful.
Dai looked at her son's handsome face, sighed, and said, "You were out for two hours just now, and I thought a lot..."
"My child is ignorant and has always caused me to worry. I really deserve to die!"
"It's rare that you understand that I'm worried about you. I've been thinking a lot just now. Our Bai family was once a well-known and wealthy family in the Snow Country, but now our fortunes have fallen. We can no longer compare to our former glory. Your father has worked hard for more than 20 years but has not been able to save our fortunes. Instead, we have gone downhill further. This is the fate of the Bai family, and no one can blame you... You just turned 20 this year, and you are still a half-grown child. I want to hand over the responsibility of reviving the Bai family to you. It's too unfair to you..."
Bai Yixing said: "Mother, I was wrong before. I will listen to you and change for the better in the future."
Dai continued, "I've thought about it. My son is so handsome. If he marries a woman with ghost fish spots on her face, what's the point even if he has endless money in the future? It's better for him to marry a wife who suits his heart, keep the existing family property, and live a comfortable life in the future, which will be good enough..."
Bai Yixing frowned and asked, "Mother, what do you want to say?"
Dai finally said: "I won't force you to propose marriage to the Ling family, and you don't have to marry an ugly girl." She reached out and stroked her son's face, her eyes full of love.
Bai Yixing said: "But I...but I have changed my mind and decided to propose to the Ling family."
Dai shook her head and said, "You don't have to embarrass yourself. Mother doesn't want you to be unhappy all your life. Besides, Ling Jiuhua is increasingly looking down on our Bai family. If you marry his daughter, I'm afraid you will suffer in the future."
"I don't care. I must marry Ling Shuxue now!" Bai Yixing started to act like a rogue.
Dai was quite puzzled. How could her son, who had firmly refused to marry the third daughter of the Ling family a few hours ago, completely change his attitude now? Could it be that her son had contracted some evil disease after going out?
She asked hurriedly, "Yixing, what's wrong with you? Are you... okay?" She reached out and touched Bai Yixing's forehead.
Bai Yixing pushed his mother's hand away and said, "Mother, I'm fine! Just tell me how to propose to the Ling family, what day to choose, what to prepare, and how to talk when I get there..."
Dai said, "But...but I have already asked someone to burn the marriage contract written in blood between your father and Ling Jiuhua."
Bai Yixing was immediately shocked and shouted, "You asked someone to burn the engagement. When?"
"Just half an hour ago, I asked Grandma Qi to use it to make a fire and boil medicine. Since you are unwilling to go to the Ling family to propose marriage, it is useless to keep the thing. Instead, it is annoying to look at it..."
Bai Yixing shouted "Ouch!" and hurried into the kitchen, taking two steps at a time.
Seeing the maid, Granny Qi, hunched over and busying herself in front of the stove, Bai Yixing pulled her aside and asked, "Granny Qi, where is the blood-lettered marriage contract my mother gave you?"
Granny Qi stared at him blankly, then asked loudly, "What did you say?"
Bai Yixing then remembered that this Seventh Granny had poor hearing and could not hear what she said normally, so he leaned close to her ear and shouted, "Where is the blood-lettered marriage contract my mother gave you?"
Granny Qi said, "I'm cooking ginseng soup, not a drug to induce coma. Why do you want me to cook a drug to induce coma?"
Bai Yixing was furious, thinking that since the Seventh Granny was so hard of hearing, he would not be able to get anything out of her, so he started searching in the kitchen. However, the kitchen was in a mess, and he could not find anything made of silk or paper.
Grandma Qi ignored him, hunched over, and slowly added a handful of firewood into the stove.
Bai Yixing took a quick glance and saw that the "firewood" in Grandma Qi's hand was red and yellow, and there seemed to be words written on it. He shouted, "Grandma Qi, you can't burn this!"
However, Grandma Qi couldn't hear anything, and she loosened her grip and threw the "firewood" into the fire.
Bai Yixing leaped over, not caring about the fire, and reached out to take out the thing again, then threw it on the ground and stepped on the flame to put out the burning flame.
Granny Seven asked loudly, "Master, what are you doing? Aren't you looking for a drug to make you faint?"
How could Bai Yixing have time to care about her? He hurriedly picked up the thing, dusted it off, and opened it. What else could it be but a bloody marriage contract?
Nearly half of the engagement contract had been burned, but fortunately the signatures and handprints of my father Bai Yuzhong and father-in-law Ling Jiuhua were still there. The word "以" in the last sentence of the engagement contract, "This is a promise, and there will be no regrets," was burned in half.
