Chapter 765: Chapter 754: Feigning Illness (Extra Update 3 for the Book Fan "Jin Yi Wei: Rong Rong" Rewards)

"If not here, then where would he be?"

"We wouldn’t know about that, we’re just servants, how would we know the master’s affairs?"

Although the servants from Bai Residence on Kangxue Street felt they were lying, they had no proof and couldn’t do anything about it.

At most, they could only fiercely intimidate the other party.

But could the servants left here by Old Madam Liu to guard the house and take care of Bai Shan be intimidated?

Of course, that was impossible. So, the servants from Bai Residence on Kangxue Street had to return without accomplishing anything.

After calling for a doctor, Bai Yu, who was already not very angry, became enraged again and said angrily, "If he’s not at home, where else could he be? This is clearly him knowing he caused trouble and then hiding, thinking I wouldn’t be able to find him?"

The servants bowed their heads and dared not speak.

Bai Yu said, "Prepare the carriage tomorrow morning, I will go to the Fu School to find him!"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Ms. Duan couldn’t help but frown and quietly went to find Old Madam.

When Bai Yu went to pay respects to Old Madam Zuo the next morning, Old Madam Zuo kept him back and said, "It’s just a spat between a few kids. The doctor also said Erlang is fine, a scolding will do, don’t scare the child of someone else."

She said, "You know how to be tender towards your own son, but that child is their family’s only descendant, isn’t he even more precious to them?"

Bai Yu said, "That’s why he must be disciplined even more, knowing he is the only child yet still causing such troubles, even three against one, this... "

"Then you should also ask what exactly they fought over," Old Madam Liu recalled the hint from her daughter-in-law the night before, lowered her eyes to take a sip of tea before saying, "I’ve only met Bai Shan and Bai Cheng twice, so I don’t know them well, but the little girl who fought with them, I have spoken to her quite a bit. She seems gentle, generous, and cheerful, how did she also come to blows?"

Bai Yu was speechless for a moment.

Old Madam Zuo tapped and said, "I know you’re concerned for Erlang, but you must remember that above Erlang there is still Dalang. Though both of them are concubines’ children, the elder concubine’s son still holds some seniority. You dote on Erlang, naturally you think he is perfect in every aspect, but I think he might be a bit too coddled."

"Our family has just moved to Yizhou City, we haven’t even settled in properly, this is precisely the time we need the help of relatives, what does it look like to have a quarrel with relatives now?"

Bai Yu lowered his eyes and complied quietly.

Seeing that he took her advice to heart, Old Madam Zuo let him go, "Get ready to go to the government office."

Though she said so, Bai Yu still paused for a moment outside before getting on the carriage and saying, "Go to the Fu School."

He indeed wanted to ask Bai Shan what exactly they had fought over.

But Bai Yu still came up empty at the Fu School.

Bai Yu: ...

The teacher on duty looked at Bai Yu and said, "People from Bai Shan’s family came early in the morning to ask for leave, saying he was injured and needed to take a day off."

Bai Yu thought about his own son’s swollen, bruised face, assuming Bai Shan’s face was injured too, so he didn’t press the matter, but instead asked, "Does the teacher know where they live?"

The teacher on duty gave him a puzzled look and said, "Aren’t you Bai Shan’s uncle, sir? How do you not know where he lives?"

If he hadn’t revealed his rank as a fifth-grade official earlier that morning, he wouldn’t have disclosed his student’s information at all.

After looking at the name card Bai Yu took out, the teacher still told him the address Bai Shan had registered.

Bai Yu didn’t expect that they really didn’t live on Huanxi Street; he took his servant with him and went straight to the new address.

Zhou Silang was squatting at a stall at the entrance of an alley gossiping with someone, casually picking through the lotus roots on the stall when he suddenly saw a carriage coming. He stared at the insignia on the carriage, recognizing the familiar Bai Family crest.

So Zhou Silang immediately got up and started running back, while the vendor couldn’t help but call out after him, "Fourth Brother Zhou, don’t you want it?"

Zhou Silang, without looking back, said, "Want it, want it, just hold on to it for me, I forgot to bring money, I’ll go back to get some."

"You can take the goods back first and bring the money later..." Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Silang had already run out of sight.

Zhou Silang ran back home in a flash, in the small courtyard, the three were standing in the sunlight with their hands behind their backs, shaking their heads while reciting their lessons, as Mr. Zhuang sat leisurely in a reclining chair listening to them.

Servants from Huanxi Street had come to their door overnight, saying that people from Bai Residence on Kangxue Street came looking for them, with Bai Yu asking them to come over.

Bai Shan and the others didn’t expect that after beating the younger, they’d attract the elder, so the three huddled together and discussed it, deciding to take a sick day off together the next day.

Mr. Zhuang turned a blind eye and complied.

However, although they didn’t have to go to the academy or the herb shop, they couldn’t be idle at home, so they still had to recite their lessons and attend morning classes as scheduled.

When Zhou Silang ran in and saw them studying, he anxiously paced back and forth, not daring to interrupt them abruptly.

Seeing him like an ant on a hot pan, Mr. Zhuang couldn’t help but ask, "What’s the matter with you?"

Seeing that Mr. Zhuang finally noticed him, Zhou Silang immediately rushed over and said, "Teacher, the carriage from next door’s Bai Residence has come, are they not here to cause trouble?"

Mr. Zhuang frowned slightly and looked at Manbao, "Didn’t you say it was only superficial injuries?"

Manbao thought carefully, remembering that yesterday after the fight she had checked and it was only superficial injuries, had she not taken their pulse, and so misjudged the severity?

She instinctively looked at Daji.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also looked at Daji.

Daji feeding hay to the horse paused before saying, "It’s just superficial injuries."

"... Then is it necessary to show up so early in the morning to block someone?" Zhou Silang also got a fright, now slightly easing back a bit and looking at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, "Isn’t it said they are your relatives? Children’s fights should be settled by the children themselves, why are their adults so overprotective?"

Mr. Zhuang also felt that the adults from the next-door Bai Residence were too protective, and after some thought, he waved his hand at the three disciples, "Alright, that’s enough for today’s morning class."

The three of them didn’t move for a moment, now that it was early morning and there was no class, what were they supposed to do?

Seeing them not moving, Zhou Silang, irritated, stamped his foot, "What are you standing about for? Get on the bed and pretend to be sick!"

They came to their senses and glanced at the teacher, seeing him appear indifferent as if he hadn’t heard Zhou Silang’s words, they then turned and ran back to their rooms to lay down.

Manbao was still doubtful and asked Keke in her mind, "Keke, did you see us beating up someone yesterday?"

Keke responded affirmatively.

"Did he suffer any internal injuries?"

Keke: "Mostly soft-tissue contusions, nothing serious, just needs some rest for a while."

With this explanation, Manbao was reassured, It seemed indeed to be superficial injuries. She wondered who was coming and whether Silang could handle it.

As she was thinking this, her window was suddenly knocked on. Looking up, she saw Mr. Zhuang standing at his window, "Come out, your Junior Brothers are both injured, and you’re the only one here who knows medicine; you should take good care of your Junior Brothers."

Manbao was startled, her eyes whirled, and she immediately understood.
