Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1598 Linjiangxian 19

Bai Jiusi wasted nearly half a month and finally rushed back before the polo match started. However, he was not really interested in the polo match and did not want Hua Ruyue to join in the fun.

He felt sorry for Hua Ruyue, feeling lonely and bored at home every day, so he could only try his best to explain, "Ayue, we've been in Songhe County for quite some time now. Everyone can see that we haven't changed at all. Especially with Meng Chi around, who knows our background, our situation is already somewhat dangerous..."

Hua Ruoyue still remembered the rumors that after she rashly used magic to save Meng Chi a few years ago, people inside and outside Qichiju speculated that she was a monster. Although she really wanted to see what a polo match was like, she also felt that Bai Jiusi was right and going would probably only bring more trouble.

Hua Ruyue decided not to go to the polo match. The only people who were disappointed were the maids around her who had finally decided on their companions, and Meng Chi.

Meng Chi spent a lot of time in contact with Hua Ruyue, especially when it came to matters of life and death, so his concern for Hua Ruyue was visible to almost everyone in Qichiju.

The old butler is about to resign and return to his hometown to retire. He is optimistic about Meng Chi taking over his position. Putting aside whether he can do the work of a butler well, the fact that Meng Chi will never betray his master is enough for the old butler to treat him differently.

Meng Chi couldn't help but want to find Hua Ruyue to ask why she seemed to be looking forward to participating in the polo match the day before, but suddenly changed her mind and said she would not go today, and even looked depressed.

The old housekeeper was unsure what Meng Chi really thought of Madam Hua Ruyue, so he could only try his best to persuade her, "Meng Chi, it's entirely up to Madam to decide where to go. We servants should just follow the Master and Madam's orders. There's no need to ask why, and we shouldn't ask why."

Meng Chi knew that he had crossed the line from the old housekeeper's disapproving look, and could only try his best to suppress the discomfort in his heart. However, he always remembered Hua Ruyue's teachings to him, especially her life-saving grace, so he very much hoped that Hua Ruyue could live a happy life.

But Hua Ruyue is unhappy now, and has even become a little depressed. He wanders around the small building where Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi live every day, just hoping to meet Hua Ruyue. It would be best if he could make her smile.

As the polo match approached, Bai Jiusi saw that Hua Ruyue was really depressed. He pinched his nose and finally agreed to let her go. He just said that it was not necessary to bring the maid with her. He kept emphasizing, "Ayue, you can't stay too far away from me, and you can't chat with those ladies outside by yourself. They are not easy to deal with. If they are not careful, they will expose your true identity!"

Hua Ruyue would never look down on any woman, but she subconsciously felt that mortals were very fragile and could not be compared to immortals. "You're being too serious. I find mortals amusing. Besides, I'm a Four Spirits Immortal after all. I won't be fooled by mortals so easily."

Bai Jiusi had done business with mortals many times, and he had to admit that mortals were cunning and complex. "Mortals pursue profit, but sometimes reputation is more important to them, or even love is more important to them. Everyone has different faces, and even I am still learning."

Hua Ruyue never doubted Bai Jiusi's words. She finally took Bai Jiusi's words to heart and repeatedly assured him, "Don't worry, I will be careful with my words and actions and try not to leave your side even for a moment!"

On the day of the polo match, Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi made a stunning appearance. Qichiju's business was quite good, but the male owner, Bai Jiusi, rarely showed up in Songhe County, which made it difficult for everyone to make friends with him. Especially since there were rumors later that Hua Ruyue was not an ordinary person but a demon, everyone became even more cautious about the couple.

As expected, the young couple Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue were both urged to have a baby.

Jiang Xinxin did not expect that Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue in this timeline would experience such a thing. When she appeared, she just happened to rescue the couple.

Jiang Xinxin only owned one shop, Furongju, but it was doing quite well. Even though it was just a business run by women, she had already gained both fame and fortune. So, the county magistrate's wife solemnly introduced Jiang Xinxin to Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi. "Master Bai, Madam Bai, if you and your wife are having trouble having children, you should definitely pay a visit to Furongju!"

The difficulties women face are never as simple as having a child. The county magistrate's wife is old and understands some things more profoundly than young people. She gave advice to Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi in front of everyone today, but in fact she was secretly taking care of Hua Ruyue.

After all, if Hua Ruyue went to Furongju specifically, she would know whether she could get pregnant. If there was nothing wrong with her body, then Bai Jiusi was most likely the reason why the couple had no children until now.

No one can predict for sure how the relationship between Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi will develop in the future, but at least it can serve as a reminder to Hua Ruyue.

Hua Ruoyue remained in a relaxed and happy mood throughout her trip, and the maids and servants in Qichiju were secretly happy for several days.

But Hua Ruyue was thinking about the child, so she spoke to Bai Jiusi again: "Jiusi, since you and I have come down to earth to experience tribulation, I think we should consider the matter of the child. I said before, perhaps our tribulation is not going well because we lack a child."

Bai Jiusi was unable to explain to Hua Ruyue the real reason why she didn't want a child. After all, Hua Ruyue was not suitable for conceiving a child before she suffered the backlash. Now that she had suffered a backlash, her physical condition would be even less suitable for raising a child.

He still found an excuse from himself: "Ayue, it seems that a long time has passed since we came to the mortal world, but this is only for mortals. If we calculate the lifespan of immortals, then this less than ten years is nothing."

"There's really no need to worry about the child right now. Besides, it's almost time for us to leave this place and start a new life somewhere where no one knows us."

Bai Jiusi's words were well-reasoned, and Hua Ruyue had no reason to object, so she could only give up the idea of having a child again. However, Furongju was a place that really made her miss it, so she would go there often, either to buy some beauty ointments for her face, or to bring some nourishing ingredients. It seemed that her life had successfully advanced to another stage.

Bai Jiusi originally didn't like Hua Ruyue having such deep contact with mortals, but seeing that Hua Ruyue was rarely happy, he thought that he could delay it for a day longer. A slight indulgence made Jiang Xinxin and Hua Ruyue become good friends again. By the time he realized that something was wrong, Hua Ruyue had already been taught a lot by Jiang Xinxin.
