It seemed like there was a reason why the Bai Clan could do this!
Very soon, the few of them arrived at the main hall of the Bai Clan at the foot of the mountain. Lady Bai was sitting upright on the seat of honor, and when she saw Faang Cheng and the others enter, she immediately stood up to welcome them.
For some reason, Faang Cheng actually found some traces of his mother Lian Yuerong in Madame Bai. His good impression of Madame Bai suddenly increased by a lot!
"Divine Doctor Fang, Divine Doctor Li, you've come!"
Madame Bai greeted them warmly with a smile. Hearing Madame Bai call him Godly Doctor, Faang Cheng smiled unnaturally.
"Madame Bai, please just call me Faang Cheng. I'm not worthy of the title of Godly Doctor!"
"I'm Lee Zhaowen, Madame Bai can also call me by my full name!"
Lee Zhaowen hurriedly said when he heard Faang Cheng's words.
Looking at Faang Cheng and the others who were the same age as her children, Madame Bai nodded.
"Alright, then I'll be the senior of the two genius doctors, I'll directly call you by your names! This way … "It can even make us feel closer to each other!"
With that, Madame Bai pointed to a side hall.
"It just so happens that it's time for lunch. I've prepared some simple dishes. Why don't we eat and chat at the same time?"
"Good!" "Then I won't be polite!"
Faang Cheng smiled and walked towards the direction that Madame Bai pointed at. Lee Zhaowen and Yu Yien also followed. However, the moment they walked into the side hall, the food on the table in front of them caused everyone to be stunned.
"Madame Bai, this … Is this what you call a simple meal? "
Lee Zhaowen stuttered.
"Oh, I wonder what you would like to eat. I made the kitchen prepare a few more dishes …"
Before Madame Bai could finish her words, Lee Zhaowen wanted to leave, causing everyone to be stunned. Yu Yien quickly stopped him.
"Where are you going?"
"I …" I'll go get Xiao Qi and let her have a look! "
Lee Zhaowen's words left everyone at a loss whether to laugh or to cry. His actions were somewhat hasty and useless, but it was because he cared about Xiao Qi!
"Oh, that's not a problem. I'll just send someone to bring the young mistress here …"
Madame Bai, on the other hand, did not care at all. Instead, she really liked the genuine feelings of these children. They were a bunch of straightforward, kind and honest children. When a person achieved a position like hers, what they lacked the most was precisely this person!
"Ah, Madame Bai, there's no need for that. Zhaowen was just joking around, he's not serious!"
Faang Cheng waved his hand and stopped Mrs. Bai.
"In the future … You still have a chance! "
When Faang Cheng's words reached Lady Bai's heart, she immediately nodded with a smile.
"Right, there will be more chances in the future!" Faang Cheng, take a seat quickly! "
After taking his seat, Faang Cheng looked carefully at the dishes on the table. No wonder Lee Zhaowen wanted to take Xiao Qi over to have a long look. There were a lot of food on this table that Faang Cheng and the others had never even seen before! Some abalone, sea cucumber, fish wings, bird's nest, and so on they knew what it was, but some strange looking fish, shrimp, vegetables and fruits that they had never seen before were put on the table in a very interesting manner!
"Because there are a lot of Spirit Cultivators in our Ten Thousand God Realm, so … The many vegetables, fruits and even meat that we eat all have a certain amount of effects that can assist with spirit cultivation or increase our spirit energy! "
Hearing Madame Bai's words, Faang Cheng first nodded slightly. Then, he suddenly raised his head to look at Madame Bai. Madam Bai saw him looking at her and couldn't help but smile.
"You are not people from the Ten Thousand God Realm, this is something that I am very clear about. Of course, I will not tell others, furthermore …" It doesn't matter to me, I don't care! "
Faang Cheng calmed down a little after hearing what Madame Bai said. He nodded. As they talked, Madame Bai took the lead to raise the wine cup in front of them. She raised it towards Faang Cheng and the others, while the others also raised their glasses in a hurry.
"I've been suffering from that strange illness for a few years now, and I'm no longer able to continue being noisy at home or outside. There are also many people who are thinking about my position as the matriarch of the Bai Family! When I say this … I'm not afraid of all of you making fun of me. I'm not afraid of all of you making fun of me. You're all experienced people, so you should be able to understand what I mean. That day, Butler Bai saw you treating someone else on the road, so he thought if I could give it a try. By then, I would already be in such a physical state, so even if it didn't work out, I wouldn't lose anything. "Originally, I wanted to let Butler Bai accompany me there, but something happened in the manor so Ru Yi followed me there!"
Madame Bai was telling Faang Cheng and the others about what had happened between them and Ru Yi.
"Ru Yi is a girl that I picked up from the side of the road. When I picked her up, she was only nine years old! I gave him books to read and allowed her to grow up carefree. I thought that I could look at her like a daughter and didn't believe me even when I saw the letter you gave me. But with your reminder, I will always pay more attention and then … "
"I found the problem!"
Lee Zhaowen was anxious to continue, but he was met with a fierce glare from Faang Cheng. However, Madame Bai shook her head with a smile, indicating that it didn't matter!
"Steward Bai discovered that Ru Yi has colluded with the Sixth Aunt. She wanted to follow me to your place and see if you can save me …" And that sixth concubine is the one most likely to take over my mistress' power! Sigh, I originally wanted to capture that ruyi immediately to serve under the family law, but I didn't harden my heart. Today … I'm still thinking about what to do with her! "Always being a daughter and raising a child, I …"
After listening to Madame Bai's words, Faang Cheng roughly understood why that Ru Yi wanted to seduce him that day. Perhaps … It must be because she didn't want him to cure Madame Bai!
"Ai, this is all a disgraceful matter of my family, I have let you guys down! But now, all of you have recovered from my strange illness. This home … I will still be the one to do it. As long as I am here … No one should even think of causing a ruckus! Therefore … I want to thank the few of you, this goblet of wine … "I did it …"
Just when Madame Bai wanted to finish the wine in one gulp, Yu Yien suddenly opened his mouth to stop her.
"Madame Bai, wait a moment …"
Madam Bai was stunned by Yu Yien's shout. Then, she put the alcohol back on the table, confused, and looked at Yu Yien and then at Faang Cheng. Faang Cheng nodded slightly and turned to look at Yu Yien. He knew Yien would not say such words for no reason at all.
"Yien, what's wrong?"
"In this wine... "There's poison!"
Yu Yien pointed at the wine cup in front of him with a serious expression. Then, he looked at the wine cup in Madame Bai's hand, stood up and walked in front of Madame Bai. He first looked at Madame Bai doubtfully, then picked up her wine cup and sniffed.
"It's poisonous too!"
Hearing that, Steward Bai, who was standing next to Madam Bai, immediately looked around and signaled the guard at the door with his eyes. The guard immediately understood and ran out the door.
"This …"
Madam Bai looked at the wine cup in front of her in surprise. Fear lingered in her heart as she patted her chest.
They were all silent. After a while, a guard pushed a person into the room. Everyone focused their eyes and saw that it was that ruyi! At this moment, her face was pale and filled with terror. When she saw Madame Bai, she immediately pounced towards her, feeling wronged.
"Madam, I didn't do anything. I was just passing by. Why did your guards want to bring me in?"
Madam Bai looked coldly at Ru Yi, who was performing so perfectly, bending her body slightly to look at her.
"Are you sure … really did nothing? "
The Madame Bai who had always been gentle and virtuous suddenly became overbearing and intimidating. As expected … The title of Bai Family's Matriarch was not something that an ordinary person could be worthy of! Faang Cheng and the others at the side did not say anything. They just quietly watched how the matriarch of the Bai Family dealt with this matter!
