Quickly wear a child: The heirless bosses love me like their life

When Bai Yiming woke up, he saw the familiar bed curtains.

Everything that happened at the banquet flashed before his eyes, and Bai Yiming subconsciously closed his eyes, as if he could escape it.

But Zou Ying's call of "Master" beside him brought him back to his senses.

"What time is it?"

Bai Yiming asked in a hoarse voice.

Zou Ying answered while looking at Bai Yiming's expression.

“…it’s already past 5 p.m.”

"Because the master suddenly fainted earlier, His Majesty sent someone to send us back early."

"Also... His Majesty asked the eunuch to tell us that after the palace banquet is over, the person who will take over the Jiang family's assets will come to the Bai family. He hopes... he hopes that we can be prepared for the handover."

"Master, what should we do if His Majesty's people find out that we have embezzled the money?"

Bai Yiming sneered and sat up from the couch with a desperate and ruthless look on his face.

"Your Majesty doesn't know exactly how much the Jiang family has, so why don't we report less?"

Zou Ying clenched her handkerchief tightly, her eyes panicking.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

"One of the maids that Ruo Ruo brought back from Ning'an Temple just now brought back an account book."

"Not only does it clearly record the Jiang family's assets, it also clearly records the amount of Jiang Wanrou's dowry."

"And... and said..."

"If there is something missing, it must be replaced with silver or items of equal value. Otherwise, the entire imperial capital will know about the extinction of the Bai family tomorrow..."

The last road was blocked, and Bai Yiming could no longer bear it. He spat out a large mouthful of blood with a "puff".

"master!"

Zou Ying was extremely panicked and was about to ask the servants to call a doctor, but Bai Yiming waved his hand to stop her.

"No one can know that I vomited blood, especially Your Majesty!"

Bai Yiming gritted his teeth.

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, his mind became much clearer. He knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter. All they could do was to follow the emperor's will.

Otherwise, what awaits him may be more than just being demoted to half his position and having his salary fined for one year.

"Go... do as that evil girl asks. If there's any shortage... use my private vault to make up for it!"

When saying this, Bai Yiming's heart was bleeding.

His private treasury contained all the rare items that others had given him after he was promoted to the position of Shangshu. In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the censors, he did not dare to accept gifts lavishly, so each item was very precious. But now he might not be able to keep even one of them.

Bai Churuo, that evil girl!

Now that he is protected by His Majesty, he cannot move for the time being, but there will always be a chance in the future...

"Okay, sir."

Zou Ying took Bai Yiming's private vault key and left the room.

In fact, she had sorted out the Jiang family's property and Jiang Wanrou's dowry when Bai Yiming was unconscious, and she also returned all the things that she had taken to her and Bai Chuxin's room under the pretext of something else.

Although there is a gap, it is not that exaggerated and can be filled with just a dozen items.

But after Zou Ying entered Bai Yiming's private vault, she almost emptied it out.

When Bai Chuxin followed the nanny's instructions and entered the private vault, she happened to see Zou Ying put a shiny oriental pearl into her sleeve.

"Mother...what are you doing?"

Bai Chuxin looked puzzled.

Zou Ying was startled, but when she found that it was only Bai Chuxin who came in, she breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly pulled her into the depths of the private vault, and explained:

"Xin'er, the Bai family is now in such a situation. There are some things that you should think about."

"The master is your biological father. You can't help but believe him, but you can't trust him completely."

"The fact that he set up this private vault without telling us proves that we, mother and daughter, are not the most important in his heart."

"Now His Majesty has issued an order to demote me to a concubine. When the new mistress arrives, the treatment of mother and daughter will only get worse."

"My mother secretly kept these things for our future!"

Bai Chuxin looked confused and uncertain.

"Mom, are you worrying too much?"

"Before he met Jiang Wanrou, my father went to the pharmacy to buy medicine on credit for his mother, but he was ridiculed and kicked out by the pharmacy apprentice. It was you who saw it and bought the medicine for him. That's when my father fell in love with you, the kind and beautiful one, at first sight."

"My father is grateful for your timely help and loves his daughter as well."

"How can such a deep relationship be broken just because of a strange woman?"

Zou Ying smiled bitterly.

"Mother almost thought that your father had deep feelings for me, but after so many years together, mother has seen through him."

"Your father is a man who puts profit above all else and is unfeeling and ungrateful."

"Jiang Wanrou was a great help to him, willing to use her dowry and the Jiang family's wealth and connections to help him climb the ladder, but she just poisoned him."

"Bai Churuo was also his beloved daughter. Even if it was fake, raising a raccoon slave would have shown some affection. But he could easily give Bai Churuo to others to abuse, just to curry favor with the prime minister."

"Although we mother and I have contributed to this, what can we do if your father objects?"

"Now that you have lost your innocence and have been promised to Li Xiu De by His Majesty, and your mother has been demoted to a concubine, in your father's eyes, both of us have lost our value."

"What's more, your father has displeased His Majesty. In the future, in order to climb up again, who knows how many cruel and ruthless things he will do."

"Mother must make plans for us in advance!"

Bai Chuxin was shocked by Zou Ying's sincere words, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that her father was indeed like that.

Bai Chuxin, who originally wanted to beg her mother to help her think of a way not to marry Li Xiu De, fell into confusion for a moment and allowed Zou Ying to hide things on her.

She didn't understand why things had come to this point?

She was the one who should have lost her innocence and married Li Xiu De, and her loving father also had a different face, and she wanted to marry Xu Wen Yan, but...

All this is thanks to Bai Churuo!

Why should she resist? If she had been allowed to be bullied and trampled in the mud, she wouldn't have ended up like this!

Bai Churuo, I want you to die!

A deep hatred flashed in Bai Chuxin's eyes.

Just as Zou Ying brought the hidden things to Bai Chuxin's room, the people sent by Xiao Yunzheng to take over arrived.

After the handover was completed, it was dark and most of the Bai family’s house had been emptied.

Bai Yiming was so upset that he spat out a mouthful of blood. Just after he rinsed his mouth, the doorman came to report that it was Li Botao who came to visit in person.

When Bai Yiming forced himself to stand up, Li Botao had been waiting in the living room for a while.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister has come. I am sorry that I failed to welcome you in person..."

Bai Yiming wanted to say a few polite words, but Li Botao didn't expect him to state his intention directly.

"Master Bai, you don't have to be polite. I came here with such presumption. First, it is for the marriage of our two children, and second, ..."

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

"…I have a deal, I wonder if Lord Bai is interested?"

In the emperor's bedroom, Jiang Dai told Xiao Yunzheng all the dangers of Shenxian Powder.

“…So, Your Majesty, you must stop the Liao people from selling the Immortal Powder in Xiao’s territory, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!”
