Listening to her mother-in-law's calm tone, Du Shi felt her heart tremble for some reason.
"Mother, I..."

Seeing Du Shi's anxious look, Bai Yunxi waved his hand.
"Don't be in a hurry to answer. Think about it when you get back. Just give me an answer in the next two days."

Seeing Du Shi walking away with heavy steps, Bai Yunxi sighed, was it all the boss's cub that caused the trouble?Ever since he appeared, there has been a lot of excitement in the house.

When Mrs. Zhu saw Du leaving with red eyes, she looked at her sympathetically, then went into the room to wait on her, poured a glass of water for Baiyunxi, and cautiously comforted her.

"Don't be sad, old lady. It is said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Children will have their own ideas when they grow up."

In fact, she didn't think anything of it. With a family like the Bai family, it wasn't a big deal for the men in the family to have as many concubines as they wanted.That is to say, the old lady in their family is strict with the men, so the house is clean.

Listening to Mrs. Zhu's words, Baiyunxi was silent. No matter what the era was like, under her jurisdiction, men were never allowed to have three wives and four concubines. They didn't even have a career. How could they have the nerve to covet beauty?
In the past few years as an old mother, she has long been accustomed to this identity and mission...

Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi's heart moved. She had been scolding the boss for so many days, but why was there no movement in the system?

Just as this idea came to my mind, there was a buzz of electricity, and a virtual electronic screen popped up next to it, and a line of words was typed out.

The host is not summoned and the system will not pop up automatically.

I don’t know if it’s Baiyunxi’s illusion, but I always feel that the screen is blurry.

Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of his mouth. From the perspective of the system, how should we deal with this little naughty boss?
As long as the host does not abandon it, it is up to the host to decide how to place it.

Looking at the subtitles popping up on the virtual screen, Bai Yunxi curled his lips and nodded with satisfaction. Does this mean that the two parties have a happy cooperation?
Zi La, Zi La~
The system is helpless. After experiencing so many hosts, this is the only host that has the least desire to use the system. Apart from signing in, there is no thought of even thinking about it... In the past few years, the frequency of its appearance can be counted on one hand.

The virtual screen flashed a few times and then disappeared automatically.

After Du's side was relieved, Baiyunxi was not idle either. After breakfast the next day, he changed into light clothes and took Wenyou out.

If you want to solve the problem in a low-key manner, you must deal with it before the white bear cub comes to your door.

Baiyunxi decided to meet at the teahouse, which was still a private room on the second floor.

Half an hour later, Wenyou and Zhou pushed the door open and came in.

Entering the elegant room, Mrs. Zhou immediately saw the woman sitting behind the tea table. She seemed to be young. She was dressed in a simple and elegant dress, with a flat bun and an old silver hairpin. Her dress was simple and casual, and her temperament mild.

The way she looked at him was a bit strange, as if he knew her, but Zhou searched through his memory and found no such face.

Bai Yunxi looked at the confusion in Zhou's eyes and pointed to the chair opposite.

"It's a bit unexpected to invite you here rashly, so don't worry, just sit down and talk."

Mrs. Zhou nodded and was not polite.

"I wonder what you want to see me for?" After listening to Zhou's inquiry, Wenyou looked at her indifferently and sat closest to the door.

Baiyunxi didn't hide anything, and went straight to the point.
"I am Bai Anchen's mother."

Zhou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Baiyun Xi. Then she stood up from her chair in surprise and gave a serious salute. She was a little at a loss for a moment.

It was only in the past two days that she learned about Guanren's life experience. She was conflicted in her heart when she was suddenly called out by this cold-faced girl. Unexpectedly, it was her mother-in-law whom she had never met before.

"Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions. I just found out about your existence when I suddenly saw the boss coming to the door. I was a little curious, so I asked someone to call you out to talk."

Out of his good impression of Mr. Zhou, Baiyunxi didn't show any airs at all.

Although Zhou was confused, she could feel Baiyunxi's kindness and felt at ease.
"I wonder what you want to know?"

Baiyunxi poured her a cup of tea and asked softly,

"How did you and Bai Anchen meet?"

Hearing Bai Yunxi's inquiry, Mr. Zhou was stunned.
"To be honest, Guanren and I met on the road. My family runs a large car shop and often travels in and out of the city. Once our fleet broke down and got stuck in the mud and couldn't get out. I also didn't know how to I accidentally hurt my leg, and when I was in trouble, I happened to meet an official, who helped us pull the car out, and got all muddy and watery. I felt sorry for him, so I arranged for him to rest in an inn. "

"... Later I heard that the official came to Fucheng alone to study, but due to an accident, he lost all his money and left only a few books. I saw that it was not easy for him to be alone and he was a scholar, so I arranged for him to stay in the backyard of the inn."

"Everyone in the inn said that he studied hard, and you could hear his loud reading every morning. He was humble and reasonable, and he also helped with the work in the inn. Later, we learned that he was still a child, and he was quite popular. It just so happened that during that time, the innkeeper had something happen to his family and he had to go back to visit his relatives. By the way, he recommended an official to take over the post of temporary innkeeper. I agreed, which gave him a place to stay. "

When Zhou said this, she saw that Bai Yunxi was listening attentively and showed no sign of impatience, and her tone became much calmer.

"That's it. We have become familiar with each other from time to time. Even when the shopkeeper returns, I still let him serve as the accountant. He usually helps with the calculations and lets him use the remaining free time as he pleases."

"It wasn't until later that he invited the official media to come to propose marriage that I seriously considered the relationship between the two. He assured me in Sanbao that after getting married, he would study hard and strive to get into the imperial examination as soon as possible so that I could live a peaceful life."

"I am the only daughter of my parents. Originally, my parents were planning to recruit a son-in-law for me. After meeting the official, they no longer insisted on recruiting a son-in-law. Anyway, the official was alone in the city without any relatives or friends. Yes, it doesn’t make any sense if he can’t come to the door. Besides, he still wants to obtain academic status, so naturally I won’t embarrass him.”

"When the official matchmaker came to propose marriage again, I accepted. The official married me in accordance with the three matchmakers and six offers. Now we have a son, who is a little over one year old."

Listening to Zhou's tone, Bai Yunxi nodded and understood what she meant. The two of them were not in love without a matchmaker.

"In the past few years since we got married, what do you think of Bai Anchen's character? Are the couple still harmonious?"

Listening to Bai Yunxi's inquiry, Mr. Zhou's face tightened, with sadness and struggle in his eyes.
"To tell you the truth, we have had many disagreements over the past few years, and as time goes by, our differences have become bigger and bigger."

Mr. Zhou was very smart and did not say anything wrong about Bai Anchen in front of Bai Yunxi. Instead, he made it clear directly that their lives were not harmonious.

"Husbands and wives will inevitably have bumps and bruises in their lives. Only by understanding and tolerating each other can they last long."
