Chapter 21: Hide the Silver

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Alright, let’s make breakfast. By the way, Yaoyao, have you sold out all the pork today?”

Mrs. Bai suddenly remembered this.

“Yeah. I brought small pigs this morning so there’s not much meat. They’re sold out quickly.”

As Bai Jinyao spoke, she passed the money she had earned from selling pork to Mrs. Bai.

“Mother, this is the money we earned today, please take it.”

Mrs. Bai was a little surprised. “You want me to take the silver?”

“That’s right. If I need money, I will ask you for some. If I keep it, what if one day I’m confused and give the money to grandma?”

Bai Jinyao said that half-jokingly.

When Mrs. Bai heard this, she felt that it was indeed reasonable, so she carefully put away the silver.

Bai Jinyao seemed to have thought of something and said, “By the way, mother, please find a private place to hide the important things in the house, such as the silver and the title deed. It’s safer that way. Don’t put them in the cabinet for the time being.”

“Yaoyao, why would you suddenly say that? What happened?”

Mrs. Bai had been a timid person.

Just hearing Bai Jinyao’s words, she started to panic.

Bai Jinyao quickly comforted her mother. “Mother, nothing happened. I just wanted to alert you just in case. Don’t think too much.”

“Really? Nothing happened?” Mrs. Bai asked. She still seemed worried.

“Really!”

Bai Jinyao almost wanted to swear in front of her mother.

“Alright. I will go to hide the silver first. Yaoyao, go to the kitchen and cook the rice.”

Mrs. Bai then quickly went back to her room.

Bai Jinyao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. If she told her mother that she had offended the town head’s relative, which might cause them some trouble, her mother would probably freak out.

Therefore, she did not think she should tell her mother about this now.

Bai Jinyao and her mother prepared the food and the medicine. Bai Jinyao took the food and medicine bowl to the bridal chamber to see Luo Xichu.

Bai Jinyao felt a little guilty about her sleeping quietly next to Luo Xichu last night.

She also felt that Luo Xichu seemed to know about this matter.

This caused Bai Jinyao to be a little afraid to face Luo Xichu.

After all, she and Luo Xichu had signed a contract.

If Luo Xichu misunderstood her and developed hatred and killing intent toward her, it would be a little difficult for her to complete her mission.

However, it was time to eat and take medicine, so she had to bring the food and medicine to Luo Xichu.

After hesitating for a while, Bai Jinyao still went in.

Mrs. Bai must have come into the room. The window was slightly open, and the floor was very clean.

Luo Xichu, who was lying in the bed, still had his eyes tightly closed. Her handsome face was a little red, and it seemed that his fever had not gone.

Bai Jinyao entered quietly and placed the tray on the table.

She walked toward the bed, planning to wake Luo Xichu up to let him eat breakfast and drink his medicine.

Before she could speak, Luo Xichu slowly opened his eyes. It seemed that he had woken up when Bai Jinyao approached him.

“You’re awake. I’ve brought the food and medicine over. You can get up and eat.”

In order to let Luo Xichu know that she really didn’t have any ill intentions toward him, Bai Jinyao was already trying really hard.

Of course, it was a mistake last night.

She would definitely not do that again tonight.
