Bai Zhi herself had breakfast first before she went back to the kitchen to fry a few more egg pancakes that Meng Nan loved to eat. She also wrapped up a freshly made spicy and sour shredded potatoes.
When Bai Zhi came out, Hu Feng saw her carrying something: “What is this?”
“Oh, a few egg pancakes and other stuff. It’s not good to visit with an empty hand. They like to eat and it’s easy to do, so I made a few pieces.” Bai Zhi simply said.
Hu Feng took another glanced at the paper bag that Bai Zhi was holding, but then he didn’t say a word. He just turned around and went up to drive the carriage.

Their carriage moved slowly on the road of the village. Many people were now walking, so as to avoid hitting the villagers, Hu Feng didn’t dare to let the horse run too fast.
When their carriage was about to leave the village, a group of people, who were walking, were blocking the way.
Hu Feng shouted: “Move, move!”
When the group of people heard the shout, they turned their head and saw a carriage running their way. The group of people hurriedly moved to the side. And as the carriage passed through their way, the wind blows the curtain of the carriage and they saw a familiar face. A familiar face with clear eyes, looking at them while smiling.
Mrs. Liu spit out towards the carriage that was galloping away: “Ptooey— what is this all about? Just because they have a carriage, they can now go back and forth the village the whole day?”
Bai Xiaofeng looked at the carriage full of envy and said: “It must be good if we also have a carriage in our family.” In his class, 8 out of 10 of his classmates have a carriage. Only he and another guy were walking to go to school. So, they were always being laughed at when they arrived.
Old Lady Bai stared at the carriage that was gradually fading in front of her. While staring, her mouth didn’t stop from cursing. Her heart was full of hate, resentment, and envy.
Mrs. Liu opened her mouth again and said: “That little slut is proven a white-eyed wolf. We raised her for 12 years, but now that she’s living a better life, she doesn’t even put our Bai Family in her eyes. Did she forget that her last name is still Bai?”
Bai Dazhu replied: “All the things that she has now belong to our Bai Family. Sooner or later, those things will be ours, including that carriage.”
Mrs. Zhang was too lazy to pour cold water to the people beside her. She can never wake up a person pretending to be asleep. No, more likely, a group of people pretending to be sleeping.
If Bai Zhi was so easy to deal with, will their family still live in their current situation? Also, are they out of their mind? Did they forget Bai Zhi called Meng Nan last time they tried to deal with her? Bai Zhi now has Meng Nan’s backing, but they’re still planning to make a move on her? Is this what people called dreaming?
Of course, as a person, having a dream is always good. If they loved dreaming, then she’ll let them do so!

After the carriage entered the town, Hu Feng directly parked outside the government office. The public servant, who was guarding outside, was the same young man, who led her to Meng Nan’s courtyard the last time. So, when the public servant saw them, he smiled and said: “Isn’t it Bai Guniang? When I saw you last time, you had bruises on your face. I couldn’t tell what you really look like. But now that your bruises have faded, I didn’t expect that you look so beautiful. You look even more beautiful than our eldest miss.”
Bai Zhi laughed and said: “Dage, don’t speak like that. If your eldest miss hears your words, you might fall in a bad situation.”
The public servant smiled and added: “Not only that, our eldest miss is so petty. If she heard me, I wouldn’t have any meals to eat.”
The public servant opened his mouth again: “Bai Guniang, you came to see Meng Daren, right? Bai Guniang, not only save our young master’s life but also cured Meng Daren’s face. Your medical skills are superb. This matter is well known in the government office.”
