Sure enough, once Bai Yanâs name was brought up the little troublemaker quickly started to get hesitant: âI just need to not expose myself!â
In the brief moment where Bai Xiao was stunned by that outburst, the little rascal had already stormed out of the ancestral hall with Little Rice in his arms. Very soon, that small figure had disappeared and was firmly heading for the front end of the manor.
â¦â¦
Stopping after running for so long, Bai Xiachen pinches Little Riceâs plump round cheek and asked: âDo you know where that bad woman is?â
âOf course I know, come with me.â Jumping out of the boyâs arm, the baby tiger began running for a certain direction.
Itâs very quiet tonight with only the occasional servants passing by. This of course held no difficulty for the troublemakers to dodge. Not long after, they are now standing before a room still illuminated by the light inside.
âLittle Rice, you wait here for meâ¦â

Bai Xiachen first hid the tiger away in a corner, then cautiously crouched forward towards the doorway in fear of disturbing the ones inside.
â¦â¦
In the room, Old Madam Yu was sitting on the couch with Yu Rong by her side. Aside from the pair, thereâs also a maid silently standing by to await their order.
âRong, itâs been so many years, why is there no movement in your stomach?â The old womanâs face was very unpleasant, âIf you donât give birth to a son then this Bai family will eventually be given to that bastard child!â
Yu Rong went stiff as she shifted her gaze down to her flat stomach. A bitter smile escaped her as she did so.
âMother, I donât have any solution either. Ever since I gave birth to Zhi, thereâs been no movement again. For that, I even went to seek out a pharmacist to check on me. The doctor claims my body is very healthy so the problem might be on Zheng Xiangâs body.â
Blinking at the statement, Old Madam Yu frowns: âSo long as the problem isnât on you then thatâs easy to solve.â
âMother, what do you mean by this?â She looked up in surprise and came eye to eye with her motherâs distorted face.
âEverything in the Bai House should be ours. We mustnât give it to Bai Xiao, that bastard child!â The way the old woman said it had madness in there like itâs the only truth.
âTherefore⦠you must find another man to get you pregnant. You must have a son!â
WAHH!
Yu Rong was so shocked that she jolted up from her seat. Even the hot tea beside her were knocked over and fell over her hand. Despite the heat, she remains oblivious to the pain and continues to make an incredulous look on her face.
âWhat are you talking about mother! How can you make me betray Zheng Xiang? Whatâs more, if this matter becomes known to himâ¦â
Hatred gripped the old madamâs face: âThen do you want everything in this house to fall into that little bastardâs hand? Why should he get to take away what belongs to us?â
âBut even if I do give birth to a son, Bai Xiao is still the heir to the Bai House. And the world knows that everything this family has was brought over by Lanyue. If we do this then we might be thrown into the limelight of gossip.â
Yu Rongâs heart was a little worried, but not for the possibility of Bai Xiao stealing her fortune, itâs the fear of being insulted by the world.
âIsnât there an old saying of if you marry a chicken follow the chicken, if you marry a dog follow the dog? Lanyue had already married into the Bai House so whatever dowry she has belongs to this family! You are now the mother of the house, making those dowries yours! Who could say more?â
Coldly grunting, a sickening amount of darkness could be seen in those old eyes: âAs for Bai Xiao, I will have ways to ruin him!â
