Chapter Twenty-Four I Want to Drink a Bowl of Tofu Flower

  April is a season when all things are in bloom, and the early morning of April is still a bit cool.

  Yue Kang got up early, his personal belongings had been prepared the night before. This time he was going to the Bai family's kiln factory and would likely be staying for some time. Bai Miao Xi didn't show too much enthusiasm, but just made some bean flower cakes yesterday and handed them over to Yue Kang, who felt warm in his heart.

  When Yue Kang went out, the wife who covered her face and didn't even hold hands said lightly "take care of your body", four simple words that made Yue Kang feel content.

  The old lady also came out to see them off, and couldn't help but remind them a few things. Bai Miao Dan got up especially early today, and walked beside Yue Kang, saying in a low voice, "Tomorrow I'll be returning to the academy. As for the flower appreciation meeting at the academy, it seems you won't be able to attend either. Hehe, I originally wanted to humiliate you at the flower appreciation meeting, but now that you have to help out with the White family's affairs, I'll spare you this time!"

  Yue Kang gritted his teeth, you little girl always trying to get the better of me. My brother-in-law won't be back for several days this time, if you miss him and want to send someone to fetch me, I promise to sneak back quietly.

  There was an elderly lady present and the conversation between the two was also private, so Bai Miao Dan didn't dare make too much movement, fiercely twisting a handful of Yue Kang's waist.

  Bai Miao Yun wore a purple long dress today, with her black hair tied up high and her skin as white as jade. Her beauty was so stunning that it seemed to radiate an otherworldly aura. It's likely that the phrase "lotus emerging from the water" was coined to describe women like Bai Miao Yun - elegant and refined in both appearance and demeanor. Her figure and physique were truly breathtaking, and Yue Kang couldn't help but wonder if these ancient people could handle the sight of her wearing black stockings and a super short skirt.

  You are beautiful, but you're not the dish in my plate. Yue Kang just fantasized about it in his heart, he really didn't dare to catch the attention of that flower from the Bai family. Firstly, they probably wouldn't look at him with favor, secondly, he had a wife who was always shrouded in an atmosphere of quietness, purity and gentle beauty, whose appearance he had never seen before.

  Bai Miao Yunque sat in the carriage and didn't say a word.

  Yu Kang also got into his own carriage, and the driver was still his most spoiled Wang Fu.

  The horse carriage drove slowly away, with Bai Miao's eyes like water, like a white lotus flower that was at peace with the world, quietly watching as the two carriages gradually disappeared into the distance.

  Bai Miao Yun sat in the carriage with her eyes closed, this time the White family's affairs were indeed a headache for him. Since his father's disappearance, the White family's business had been declining day by day. On the surface, the White family was prosperous and limitless, but Bai Miao Yun, who was among them, knew the current situation of the White family best.

  Her father left without a word, and she had no idea where he went. Bai Miao Yun didn't harbor any resentment towards him; she knew her father must have had his own difficulties. He wouldn't abandon them without reason. After her father's departure, the household seemed to lose its mastermind, but Bai Miao Yun was determined that it couldn't fall apart. With all her might, she struggled to maintain the family. She was battered by wind and rain, squeezed by worldly troubles, yet she had no complaints or regrets.

  She didn't want this family to decline, she didn't want the centuries-old ceramic family business to be ruined in her hands. She had to stand up and take on all the responsibilities of the family. Later, when her younger sister was fine, she would have a chance to catch her breath. Now, she didn't even have time to breathe, rushing around, weathering storms.

  She always believed that her father would come back, maybe one day he would suddenly appear in front of her, and she wanted him to say, "My Yun'er, Father is proud of you."

  "Miss, Master is calling us to stop." The carriage driver of Bai Miao Yun shouted from outside the carriage.

  "Ask him what's going on." Bai Miao Yun walked out of her memories.

  "The uncle said he's a bit hungry and wants to drink a bowl of tofu flower soup before leaving," replied the cart driver.

  Bai Miao Yun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Tell him that this time it's urgent and have him drink ten bowls." Although Yue Kang had already helped the Bai family, the identity of the flower thief still lingered in Bai Miao Yun's mind.

  Bai Miao's carriage didn't stop, and Yue Kang also couldn't help but drink the tofu flower. Ah! What a wonderful fragrance! Lifting the curtain of the carriage, he still didn't see that beautiful figure, so he let Wang Fu continue on their way.

  "Brother-in-law, didn't you just eat? Why do you want to drink tofu flower again? Are you thinking of going down to see that tofu flower selling girl? Honestly, that girl is really pretty." Wang Fu said with a chuckle.

  "You're such a dirty-minded guy, how could I be that kind of person?" Yue Kang said with a clear conscience.

  "Huh, what's wrong with my brother-in-law? Am I thinking too much? He just glanced at people a few more times, how could I think that way!" Wang Fu sat on the carriage frame with a smile, but was met with a loud slap on the head. Yue Kang laughed and scolded: "You little stinker."

  "What did they say behind our backs?" The driver, nicknamed Braids, replied while urging on the horses. "I didn't quite catch it either, Miss! It seemed like something about tofu flower...girl...and water spirit..."

  Bai Miao's artful insults are shameless, no wonder he wants to go down and drink tofu flower soup. A surge of nameless resentment rises up.

  Yue Kang lifted the curtain and gazed at the horse carriage of Bai Miao Yun rushing ahead, saying: "Wang Fu, overtake them, those with targets must walk in front."

  "Alright!" Wang Fu cracked his whip on the horse's back, and the carriage suddenly accelerated quite a bit.

  Before long, Yue Kang caught up with Bai Miao Yun's carriage. He lifted the curtain of the window and shouted: "Sister, are you hungry? I brought some food." The more she gave me a cold face, the more I tried to get close to her.

  "You're not hungry, you can keep it for yourself!" Bai Miao Yun said indifferently.

  "Did the big sister bring water? I'm a bit thirsty." Yue Kang continued to shout.

  Bai Miao Yun this time even returned to the province, urging the coachman to hurry up and run faster, not wanting to walk with that guy, hearing his voice was annoying.

  Suddenly, he left Yue Kang's carriage far behind again.

  "Wang Fu is after me." Wang Fu Street's death order, whip in hand, galloping swiftly.

  The horse carriage was running very fast, bumping and shaking, Yue Kang's butt couldn't sit still, his hands were tightly grasping both sides, damn, this horse carriage is not as comfortable as an Audi!

  Just as he was about to catch up with the horse-drawn carriage in front of him, a cracking sound was heard, the sound of wood breaking.

  The carriage suddenly overturned and threw Yue Kang to the ground, shaking his internal organs.

  "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are you okay?!" Wang Fu quickly got up from the ground and helped Yue Kang up, who was knocked breathless. "Wang Fu, how did you drive the cart?"

  "Uncle, it's not a problem with my driving, the wheel hub broke." Wang Fu said with a sad face.

  Yue Kangding took a look and found that it was not two car wheels' axles that were twisted, but really damn unlucky!

  Bai Miao Yun also discovered the symptoms on Yue Kang's side. The horse carriage turned back, and Bai Miao Yun asked through the curtain: "Nothing wrong?"

  Yue Kang smiled and said it was nothing, nothing. Bai Miao Yun said a sentence after saying it was okay, then pulled the curtain.

  Bai Miao's artistic heart secretly let out a breath of anger, letting you run so fast, serving you right.

  "Hey big sister, look at my carriage, it's broken. Can I sit in your vehicle?" Yue Kang said with one hand on his waist.

  Bai Miao Yun heard this and suddenly lifted the curtain, glaring with anger, as if she wanted to spit out fire. Just as she was about to speak, Yue Kang hastily said: "I'll go sit with Lianzi, I'll drive the car." What's the big deal? It's just sitting in one car, isn't it? In the past, I even used to squeeze into a car with women all the time. How feudal!

  Hmph, Bai Miao Yun pulled down the curtain.
