Chapter 272 Secret
Bai Jingzhi took a small bite and the sweet taste filled his mouth.
"Ouch, what is that?"
Zhou Yue'e came in carrying a basket and almost tripped.
The cotton mat covering the basket flew off, and the steamed buns were not spared.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and gently tiptoed to collect the flying things into the basket.
Seeing this, Bai Jingzhi couldn't help but clap his hands, "Sister Yue'e... so awesome!"
She was still chewing a roasted sweet potato and her speech was a little unclear.
Zhou Yue'e steadied herself and saw her cousin chewing something and pointing her left thumb at her. She smiled helplessly.
"Talk after you finish eating, be careful not to choke!"
After saying that, Zhou Yue'e gently placed the lunch basket on the table and poured a glass of water for Bai Jingzhi, "Drink some water to wash it down."
Then she helped Gu Tinglou, who was lying on the ground, up, and said with some worry:
"Jingzhi, didn't you say you wanted a soldier who could stand shoulder to shoulder with that Silver-faced Yama? Why do you still treat Sixth Grandma like this?"
Gu Tinglou is a proud woman, which is clear from the fact that she has held a high position in the Wei family for many years.
And Wei Liu also listened to her and obeyed her orders. She was completely different from ordinary women in the inner house.
The most important thing is that this person has extremely high martial arts skills.
Bai Jingzhi took a sip of warm water and swallowed the roasted sweet potato that was blocking his throat.
"Sister Yue'e, she doesn't think highly of me. What I want is absolute respect and obedience. If I can't do that, I would rather be destroyed."
Gu Tinglou is different from ordinary people. She is someone who can compete with Jiang Zhu.
Jiang Zhu still has some constraints, but Gu Tinglou has almost no weaknesses, and their family of three are all very powerful.
"Besides, I'm not stupid. I'll train an opponent for myself."
Zhou Yue'e did not hear the previous conversation between the two of them, and was a little confused, not knowing what had happened between them.
"Sixth Grandma doesn't recognize you? She still wants the Wei family to step up? Wei Li is not necessarily better than you!"
A few days ago, Wei Li formally revealed his identity and took out a token proving that he was a member of the Wei family.
It was at that moment that Zhou Yue'e understood why Bai Jingzhi had been so tolerant and caring towards Wei Li along the way.
However, she wasn't worried.
From Zhou Yue'e's point of view, these people only believed in Bai Jingzhi. As for the later Wei family members, it was hard to tell what they were thinking.
It was just that a few days ago, Gu Tinglou told her subordinates that they would have to follow Bai Jingzhi's arrangements from now on.
Wei Li had no objection.
At least in her opinion, Wei Li did not want to compete with Bai Jingzhi.
Zhou Yue'e was worried that the Wei family would take advantage of her, so she deliberately tested Wei Li from the side.
Her idea was very simple. As long as Wei Li disagreed, no one in the Wei family could step forward.
Wei Duan was still young, and his family had gone through a great change, so he did not receive the best training from the Wei family. Besides, this child listened to Bai Jingzhi the most.
"Sister Yue'e, don't worry. Wujiyuan is not the Wei family's Wujiyuan. Only their family can stay here, but not ours? If the Wei family doesn't like it, let them pack up and leave."
Bai Jingzhi broke off half of the roasted sweet potato and stuffed it into Zhou Yue'e's hand. "I spent a lot of effort to collect these things and people. They want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. No way!"
One of her legs was resting on another bench, not looking like a lady at all.
Zhou Yue'e quickly moved her legs down, "Be careful, there are so many people here, be careful if someone finds out or your aunt will nag you again!"
Zhou Yue'e had no room to speak on the matter of Wujiyuan and could only change the subject.
"What are you afraid of? My mother will be on my side. A married girl is like water spilled on her body. What's more, my mother married down and can't rely on her husband's family. How can my mother have a say in the Wei family?"
Bai Jingzhi is not really a naive person in the workplace. When he comes here, he has to compete with others in wits and courage.
From Jingkanzi Village to Wujiyuan, she knows the hardships along the way better than anyone else.
If it weren't for the space cheating, how could these people come here safely.
We ate and drank a lot on the way, and many dangers and opportunities were solved using space without others knowing.
When the Wei family comes, she has to give them up. Why?
The Wei family looked down on her father, and the Bai family looked down on him even more. She would not give up the territory here.
Bai Jingzhi finished eating the roasted sweet potato in his hand and said, "Sister Yue'e, I can feed those people even if there is no food. Why do the Wei family think that I can't be the master of the family anymore and will still feed them?"
She had just thought about the consequences when she used that secret warning.
Even if the Wei family has no intention now, what about others?
Gu Tinglou said that there are still some survivors from the direct line of the Wei family.
She took this opportunity to make things clear, which was better than waiting for the Wei family to come and steal her things.
The potion she applied on the gold bracelet was not of high concentration.
Fortunately, Zhou Yue'e reacted quickly.
"I didn't say the Wei family was going to steal anything, so you don't have to worry."
Gu Tinglou regained consciousness, his expression somewhat complicated, "I heard some of what you said just now. Don't worry, unless your uncle comes, we in the Wei family will not let the others rob you."
After hearing this, Bai Jingzhi was not happy. Instead, he retorted, "What did your Wei family do? Even if my uncle was alive, would he have the nerve to rob him? So what if you have manpower? If you force me into a corner, no one will be able to have an easy life."
As long as you give her some time, she will always be able to develop something good.
She didn't care about the lives of other members of the Wei family. Gu Tinglou had the same attitude, and the others were not much better.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the most popular people in the Wei family turned out to be Wei Liu and his son Wei Dayong.
"Sixth Grandma, you guys should eat first, and then we can talk it over."
Zhou Yue'e saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly asked the two to stop talking about it.
She put the food and dishes on the table, then stood behind Bai Jingzhi, motionless.
Her senior sister said that this is how rich families eat.
Some maids also have to serve food to their masters.
There was no need to serve the food to her. The two men had just started a fight, so she had to stay to protect Jingzhi's safety.
Bai Jingzhi was a little uncomfortable, "Sister Yue'e, please sit down and eat!"
She was not used to being guarded by others. She was really not one of those masters who felt like she couldn't survive without hands and someone to serve her.
"My affairs are a secret. It's not appropriate for Yue'e to be here, right?" Gu Tinglou's breath was a little unstable, and he had no aura at all.
Zhou Yue'e was not afraid at all, as if she didn't hear anything and didn't move.
"There are not so many calculations between me and Sister Yue'e. She won't tell your secret to others, and they in Wugui Mountain don't care about your secret either."
Bai Jingzhi knew that Gu Tinglou had woken up a long time ago, and his previous words were meant for her.
By now, she had to show her strength.
Wugui Mountain is a special existence, and the most powerful people in Dazhuang Dynasty have to give face to it.
"Wugui Mountain? No wonder!" Gu Tinglou looked Zhou Yue'e up and down, then looked directly at Bai Jingzhi, "I can indeed use birds to send messages."
Communicating with birds? Goldfinger?
Bai Jingzhi was not surprised. She had suspected this just now. "Did he travel through time?"
