Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 173 Are you hiding something from me?
Xiao Yishan opened the door, and Chu Yu stepped out of the luxurious carriage.

Chu Yu politely asked, "Excuse me, sir, is my sister here?"

"Your sister? Who is your sister?" Xiao Yishan asked warily.

“Bai Lu, Bai Lu is my younger sister,” Chu Yu said.

Xiao Yishan didn't believe him and said with a dark face, "There's no White Dew or Black Dew here. You've come to the wrong place."

Just as she was about to close the door, Shuya suddenly jumped off the carriage and hurriedly asked, "Young Master Xiao, is my young lady alright?"

Upon seeing Shuya, Xiao Yishan was stunned for a moment before hesitantly asking, "You...he...he's really Bailu's brother?"

Shuya said, "I guess so. My young lady's stepmother is his mother."

"Shuya?" Bailu yawned upon hearing the noise and quickly came over, grabbing Shuya's hand and saying, "Why are you here? How did you know I was here?"

Although Shuya knew she was in Chenjia Village, Chenjia Village was not small.

“We asked them one by one,” Chu Yu said with a smile.

Upon seeing Chu Yu, Bai Lu's face immediately darkened. "Why are you here? What do you want?"

She looked at Chu Yu and then at Shu Ya, exclaiming in disbelief, "You...you're in cahoots?"

Shuya hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, Miss. It's the master. The master is back, and the madam asked me to take you back."

"My mother asked me to pick you up and take you back." Chu Yu said jokingly, fanning himself with his fan. "Alright, Miss, let's go. This awful weather might just bring rain again."

"My dad's back? Really?" Bai Lu didn't want to go home, but she missed her dad terribly.

"Miss, Master is waiting for you at home, let's go quickly," Shuya urged.

"Miss Bai, where are you going?" Li Ruru asked, yawning as she walked over after hearing the noise.

The three Chaochao sisters followed behind, while Fang Xingzhi wrote in his room, listening intently to what was happening.

Bai Lu sighed, "Aunt Li, I... I have to go home."

Although she only stayed there for less than two days, Aunt Li and her family treated her so kindly.

I give her the best food and useful things first.

She even wanted to sleep with Aunt Li at night, and Aunt Li agreed.

Even Peipei, Chaochao, and Yinyin, who are biological daughters, don't receive this treatment, and they grumbled about it for a long time.

Aunt Li doted on her like a second daughter. It was raining outside, but she was never lonely inside.

Everyone was playing cards and having fun, and they couldn't have been happier.

"Won't you stay a couple more days?" Li Ruru was also a little reluctant to leave.

Chu Yu said, "Miss Bai definitely won't be used to living in this shabby place of yours, so don't force her."

Bai Lu glared at him and said, "Shut up, you have no right to speak here."

Chu Yu turned his head and rolled his eyes. If his mother hadn't asked him to come pick someone up, he wouldn't have bothered leaving home so early in the morning.

After a whole morning of hard work, I finally found this godforsaken place, and Bailu doesn't even appreciate it. What an ingrate!

Bai Lu held Li Ruru's hand and said, "Aunt Li, my dad is back, so I have to go back. Next time, I'll definitely come and stay for a few more days. Don't find me annoying then."

Li Ruru patted her head and said, "How could that be? It's more lively with more people. By the way, didn't you say your dad wouldn't be back for several months?"

Bai Lu was also a little confused and asked Shu Ya, "Is my father really back? Why did he suddenly come back?"

Shuya smiled and said, "Master must be back because of Miss's marriage."

The light in Bai Lu's eyes dimmed slightly when the topic of marriage was mentioned.

She looked at Li Ruru with a confused expression: "Aunt Li, do you think I should go back?"

Without a second thought, Li Ruru said, "Don't go back. Stay here for a few more days. It's not too late to leave when you've thought things through." What a silly girl, wanting to get married before she's even fallen in love.

She started having children without really understanding what was going on, one after another. When will this ever end?

After she gets married, will her in-laws allow her to continue running around like this?
"That won't do! My mother is waiting, hurry up." Chu Yu urged impatiently.

“Miss, let’s go home. No matter how nice this place is, it’s not your home,” Shuya said.

Urged on by Chu Yu and Shu Ya, Bai Lu reluctantly went back to her room and changed back into her original clothes.

She sighed and said, "Aunt Li, I'll go back and check on my father first, and then I'll come to see you in a couple of days."

"Alright." Since she had already said that, Li Ruru couldn't stop her anymore.

He turned to Chaochao and Peipei and said, "Go and get something for Miss Bai to eat on her way."

The two nodded and soon came over, each carrying a basket.

Bai Lu accepted the baskets without hesitation; one basket contained cured meat, and the other contained vegetables.

The vegetables in the yard were all flooded. I picked a lot these past two days, and we can't even finish eating them all.

The two baskets were stuffed full and felt heavy in my hands.

"Miss, let me carry it." Shuya stepped forward, took the basket, and placed it on the carriage.

Bai Lu smiled and opened her arms, saying, "Aunt Li, let me hug you."

Li Ruru smiled and pulled her into her arms, "Go back and be a good girl and listen to your father. If anyone bullies you, come find me."

Bai Lu's eyes reddened, and she nodded emphatically, "I understand."

She skipped and hopped onto the carriage, poked her head out, and waved, saying, "I'm leaving, don't miss me!"

The sky was just beginning to lighten, and the sunrise was a beautiful expanse of red.

The soft light shone on her face, and the girl's hair danced lightly in the air, making her look beautiful and charming.

Li Ruru suddenly recalled the scene when Chu Xiu left last time. It was an ordinary evening, the setting sun was fiery red, and his carriage walked into the depths of the halo.

Today is just another ordinary day. Bai Lu walks westward with her back to the sun, getting further and further away from sunrise.

Li Ruru felt a pang of sadness. Seeing the carriage had disappeared from sight, she reluctantly turned back to the children and said, "Let's go home for dinner."

“Mother, Miss Bai gave me this.” Peipei took out a small purse from her pocket.

Li Ruru took it and opened it; inside was a seal and a letter.

When did she give it to you?

"Just now, just now when she took my basket."

Li Ruru opened the letter and read it. Bai Lu's letter was concise: This seal is very important. I hope Aunt Li can keep it safe for me.

Li Ruru remained silent for a long time after reading the letter. Judging from the flamboyant handwriting, she had written it while she was changing clothes inside the house.

In some places, the ink hadn't dried yet, and the blurred characters were almost illegible.

Chu Yu drove the carriage at breakneck speed, making Bai Lu nearly vomit from the jolting.

She pulled back the carriage curtain and said with dissatisfaction, "Do you even know how to drive? It's so bumpy!"

Chu Yu ignored him and continued her frantic journey.

Bai Lu angrily lowered the carriage curtain and said to Shu Ya, "Why did you come with him?"

Shuya was covered in cold sweat, and she stammered for a long time without being able to give a coherent answer.

Bai Lu became wary: "You...you're hiding something from me?"
