Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 174 Suspicion remains

"You have dinner here, the master and the old lady..." Song Amei hesitated to speak.

Bai Xun said, "To be honest, I had some unpleasantness with my grandmother."

"Because of Aunt Han's matter?" Song Amei asked.

Bai Xun lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Song Amei sighed, "Axun, I understand your feelings for Nanchun, and I also know that you don't want to take a concubine. But you are the future head of the Bai family, and it is your responsibility to carry on the family line.

Not to mention your grandparents, even I...actually, I also hope that Nanchun can have her own children. But now I think about it. The Nan family is poor, and what good life can I give them if I have grandchildren?

Just like Nanchun said, he himself doesn't have the ability to make a living, so if he marries a girl, wouldn't that just make her suffer with him?

Aunt Han is a good girl. She must have had her own reasons for putting herself in such a difficult position. Don't make things difficult for her. Let's discuss anything together."

Bai Xun nodded and said, "I understand. Mother, Nanchun is in Yangcheng, and I miss him so much. So I can't stay in Baijiazhai for long. He misses you too, so why don't you come with me to Yangcheng?"

After hearing this, Song Amei's eyes sparkled. "It's nice here. I have so many people to keep me company. Yangcheng... I can't get used to it. Besides, I have to stay in Baijiazhai. If Nanchun isn't here, I'm not here either. What if Nanchun's grandfather comes back and can't find anyone? What will I do then?"

That day, Aunt Han asked her to go out for tea and secretly told her that the head of the family had sent someone to monitor her.

Song Amei knew very well that she could not leave here. Only in this way could the head of the family let Nanchun walk freely outside without worry.

Just now, Bai Xun also discovered those people who were monitoring the villa outside.

Looking at Song Amei's reaction again, Bai Xun frowned slightly.

She should know this too, right?

So he deliberately lived under his grandfather's nose and became a hostage in exchange for Nanchun's freedom.

Is it because of the demon book?

Grandfather’s suspicion of Nanchun has not subsided yet?

When we returned to the old house, Butler Bai was waiting at the door.

"Second Young Master, the Patriarch wants you to come over."

Main courtyard.

"grandfather."

"Come on, sit down!" Bai Yishui put down his teacup. "Your grandmother has been here a few times just now. Oh, it took you so long to come back. You should have eaten with us."

Seeing that Bai Xun didn't respond, Bai Yishui sighed.

"It was inappropriate of me to let Bailing marry you without asking your opinion. But you will have to take a concubine sooner or later, so you should have decided on the right one earlier. If you don't like Bailing, you can bring someone else in later if you find someone you like."

"Grandfather, I came back mainly to discuss with you the cooperation with the Fourth Master of the Sheng family." Bai Xun said.

Bai Yishui looked at him in surprise and said, "Sheng Yu'an? What's the point of cooperating with him?"

“I want to work with him to build a power plant.”

"Power plant?" Bai Yishui couldn't see through Bai Xun's thoughts.

Jincheng really needed a power plant, but the coal was in the hands of the eldest brother of the Sheng family. The two brothers refused to give in, so the matter had to be dropped.

When two tigers are fighting, why should the Bai family be the first to step in?

Shouldn't we just sit back and watch, and be the one who reaps the benefits?

Bai Xun saw his confusion and explained, "The Sheng family's eldest and second masters are interested in cooperating with Marshal Li of Ancheng."

"I know that the Li family is interested in cooperating with the Sheng family. Didn't they say they haven't even entered the door? The old man of the Sheng family hates these the most. He will not allow the Sheng family to be involved in factional struggles." Bai Yishui said.

"I personally saw the Second Master of the Sheng Family having dinner with Marshal Li, and they were having a very pleasant conversation. Marshal Li, in order to get the Second Master to agree to cooperate, even used a large sum of money to set a trap for Fuyuanji. He wanted to use Fuyuanji as a gift to the Second Master."

"When I discuss cooperation with the Sheng family, the premise is that it cannot involve factional fighting. They...how could they go back on their word?" Bai Yishui frowned and clenched his fists.

"If Marshal Li really reaches a cooperation with the Sheng family, I'm afraid the first target he'll attack will be our Bai family. Therefore, my brother secretly helped Boss Sun to prevent Marshal Li's conspiracy from succeeding.

But if it didn't work this time, what about next time? Instead of Marshal Li, it's Marshal Wang, and what about Marshal Sun? The old man of the Sheng family can no longer be the head of the family. Grandfather, we have to prepare for a rainy day. "Bai Xun said.

"Cooperating with Sheng Yu'an is to check and balance them?"

"Yes, after the He'an County Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the eldest and second masters of the Sheng family, their power is now greater than that of the fourth master, so they dared to suppress the Bai family. If we deepen our cooperation with the fourth master and achieve a balance of power between them, no one will dare to provoke the Bai family easily in the future." Bai Xun said.

"It's feasible, but it's too risky. Besides, Sheng Yuqing will never let Sheng Yu'an build the power plant. Even if it is built, how can we generate electricity without coal?" Bai Yishui said worriedly.

"He will, grandpa, please believe me, I will make this happen. Now that the Bai family has been pushed to the edge of the cliff, we might as well give it a try." Bai Xun said.

Seeing his confidence, Bai Yishui nodded and said, "Okay then! You can use the Bai family's manpower and money as you wish."

"Thank you, Grandfather. I will leave Baijiazhai and return to Yangcheng in the next two days. The Fourth Master left Jincheng and went to Yangcheng because of Mr. Sheng's 70th birthday. I still need to discuss the specific cooperation matters with him in detail." Bai Xun said.

Bai Yishui frowned slightly: "You...you're leaving right after you got back? When will you be back?"

Bai Xun thought for a moment and said, "I probably won't be back for a while. There's a lot going on in Yangcheng, and the situation is very complicated. My brother can't handle it all by himself, and if we add the matter of cooperating with the Fourth Master on the power plant... I discussed it with my brother before I came back, and I will be fully responsible for the power plant."

Bai Yishui thought to himself: There's no way I can get along with Bailing like this! Why not let him take Bailing to Yangcheng?

"Why don't you bring..."

Bai Xun interrupted him: "Grandfather, I want to take Nanchun's mother with me to Yangcheng. She is here alone..."

"No!" Bai Yishui slammed the table and said loudly.

Bai Xun was slightly startled. It was rare for his grandfather to be so uneasy.

Han Bailing's words were verified.

Grandfather still has doubts about Nanchun.

Bai Yishui realized that he had lost his composure, coughed twice, and said unnaturally: "This is not... Nanchun is not at home. If his mother is not at home either, what if Nan Chenglin comes back... And you also said that the situation in Yangcheng is complicated now. It is not appropriate to let her go."

Bai Xun thought for a moment and said, "That's right. Yangcheng is indeed not very safe right now. It's better to stay here."

This blocked what Bai Yishui wanted to say.
