Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

Chapter 185 Don’t you want us anymore?

Bai Sui'an had sneaked away through the back door in advance. Luoluo wanted to take Yanliu to see a doctor, so she asked them to gather at Feiyun Department Store later.

As soon as the identity of the prince's consort was revealed, people on the street started talking about it.

Even the aunt that Bai Sui'an had spoken to before went off to chat about gossip with others after watching the fun.

"When the princess spoke to me, I could tell she was of high status! As expected, she went up to me right after we finished chatting. She's truly a beautiful person with a kind heart!"

"Many shops were robbed before, and things are much more expensive. Fortunately, the real culprit has been caught now. It's all thanks to the princess."

"The girl and the guys who brought the people back are pretty good too!"

Bai Sui'an wore a mask like a thief and quietly sneaked back to Feiyun Baihuo.

Ye Lingche was still waiting. After returning, Bai Sui'an pulled him aside and told him what happened today.

"That Madam Wan might have connections with Ni Ya. I've asked Zhuying to interrogate her in the dungeon. I might have to go to Zuihonglou in a while. The next time we meet will be in Kyoto. You and the children should be careful on the road."

She explained everything in one breath, leaving Ye Lingche with a choked breath in his heart, unable to calm down.

"Is it so urgent?" Ye Lingche was a little reluctant and took Bai Sui'an's hand consciously.

They took turns stroking Bai Sui'an's knuckles, wishing their hands would never separate, but they couldn't help but worry whether sticking them together would affect Bai Sui'an's work.

Bai Sui'an squeezed his palm and said, "I've reserved a few days. I specifically told you this because I want you to help me think of a way to arrange things in the village. After all, I may not come back once I leave."

She wanted to follow her family. The imperial city was too far away from here, and it would be difficult to reminisce with her friends in the village.

So she wanted to explain everything that needed to be explained.

"How would you like to arrange it?"

"Sister Xi, Aunt Wang, and Brother Niu have always taken good care of our family, so naturally we have to prepare some gifts to thank them. Shitou and Goudan haven't been studying here for long, so we need to find a way to ensure they don't neglect their studies while we're away.

As for Aunt Wang's two daughters, I also want to leave something for them. I want you to discuss the matter of growing herbs in the village with Wan Chen as soon as possible, so that he can take over from now on. What else is there..."

"No rush, I'll help you arrange what you said first, and then tell me if you think of anything later."

Bai Sui'an suddenly smiled and asked, "Are you tired of having to do so many things?"

Seeing her smile, Ye Lingche also raised the corner of his mouth: "Don't bother me, I will do whatever you ask me to do, as long as I can help you."

"So when do I talk to my kids about their affairs? I always have to spend more time with them."

"Then we can do it earlier. Baili is not here now, so why not bring Rong Le back with you? We can talk in the car."

Bai Sui'an thought about it and nodded: "Telling them earlier will help them adapt sooner."

Thinking that the children would be sad after he confessed the truth, Bai Sui'an already looked worried.

Ye Lingche patted Bai Sui'an's shoulders and said, "This is all my fault. I will make it up to you."

Bai Sui'an took a deep breath and patted his arm: "It's not entirely your fault. After all, you didn't cause this situation on purpose. You did a good job protecting the child."

The two comforted each other, encouraged each other, and in the end, they both couldn't help laughing out loud.

They said nice things, but they both saw the sign of retreat in each other's expressions.

Actually, I'm still worried.

After all, they are not children and cannot guarantee that they will be forgiven after confessing.

Luoluo and Yanliu arrived soon. Yanliu was not seriously injured. She said that several big brothers who were traveling with her were helping her, so she gave most of the money she earned to those who were traveling with her and took some for herself.

When they came, Luoluo told them that she wanted to find General Linglong. Now Bai Sui'an just had to pack the silver notes he had exchanged for them, set a time to leave for Zuihonglou, and then let them go back to rest.

Prepare some more spiritual spring water for Ye Zihu, and when Zhuying comes back, the family will go back.

Zhuying was still driving the carriage, with a family of five sitting inside.

This time, Bai Sui'an didn't let Lin Rongkang sit on his lap, and every child sat properly.

Because Ye Lingche looked solemn and was about to tell something important.

After glancing around, Ye Lingche's gaze finally fell on Lin Rongle's face. After so long of tacit understanding, Lin Rongle knew that he had to tell Ye Lingche about the past, so he gave him a comforting smile.

He is the only child who knows the truth from beginning to end. He knows how difficult it is for Ye Lingche and hopes to help Ye Lingche share some of the pressure.

"Now, Daddy wants to tell you something important. I hope that after you hear it, you will remember that no matter what, your mother and I will always have you in our hearts."

Ye Lingche and Bai Sui'an were holding hands the whole time. Before he could finish his words, he noticed that Bai Sui'an's hands had become cold.

Holding Bai Sui'an's hand tightly, Ye Lingche shared his limited warmth with Bai Sui'an. Facing the two children's puzzled looks, he continued,

"Actually, your uncle is Rong Le and Rong Kang's biological father. I'm still unmarried and have never had any children of my own."

When the second half of the sentence came out, Lin Rongkang looked at Lin Yashu beside him, grabbed his sister's clothes and asked, "What about her? Who are her parents?"

Bai Sui'an had been watching Lin Yashu's expression. The little girl was trying to remain calm, but her eyes were empty.

"Yashu's father is a great hero. Back then, your uncle was almost ambushed on the battlefield. It was he who sacrificed himself to save the others. Later, it was your uncle who adopted Yashu, so Yashu should call him dad."

The two brothers were waiting for Lin Yashu's response, but Lin Yashu did not move. There was silence in the car for a long time before Lin Yashu asked:

"Where's my mother?"

She lowered her head and didn't look at Bai Sui'an.

"She became ill and passed away not long after."

"That's it..."

Lin Rongkang tilted his head and moved closer to Lin Yashu, as if he was afraid that his sister would cry.

But Lin Yashu didn't cry. She had never seen her parents since she could remember. She didn't know how to react when she heard the news.

She thought she was sad, after all, she had never seen her biological parents again. But if she was sad, would it make her current parents sad?

"Dad, you're telling us this now because uncle's eyes are getting better. You want to send us all away, right? Don't you want us anymore?"

Lin Yashu's tone was filled with deep sadness, as if she had already seen the ending.
