Chapter 291: Daughter of the Republic VS Chinese Opera Singer (11.23)

Warning: Small cliff ahead.

And that is what had caused this current scene today, ai.

The things had already happened could not be undone. All they could do was try to make up for it as much as possible.

“Hai Tang, from today, your name will be changed to Nian Xue’er.” Nian BingRong was silent for a long time before he spoke. He thought that if this daughter could wake up to reality through education later, that would take care of things.

He would add her to the family genealogy right away, but if it was really bad, then so be it.

With his Nian family, he would guarantee she would not worry about food and clothing for a lifetime.

“Master.”[1] Du Shu was still somewhat disturbed. That was her daughter too.

Nian BingRong shook his head, and Du Shu had no choice but to shut her mouth, her face a little sad.

Nian Xue’er didn’t know what kind of riddles these people were speaking. She was very happy now, as she had recovered her identity.

Now that she didn’t have to be suppressed by that woman, the gloom on her face immediately dispersed.

She broke free of the soldier’s restraint and ran a few steps to Du Shu’s side, then took her hand and smiled brightly.

Everyone thought she was normal now, but before they could relax, she started to make trouble again.

“Mother, since Father has recognized me, I am your real daughter. Shouldn’t Nian XunMi, this fake, be driven out? The Nian family can’t help raise such a questionable person. Nian XunMi has nothing to do with you.”

Quickly drive her out, drive her out, so that I can sort her out.

Nian Xue’er seemed to have been immersed in her own beauty, not paying attention to how incredulously everyone was looking at her.

Du Shu, who was holding her hand, stood rigidly, not knowing how to respond.

XunMi was not related by blood, but she was still the child she had raised for more than ten years. How could she be willing to part with her?

The atmosphere in the hall had condensed, and all of a sudden had sunk into deathly silence.

Only Nian Xue’er was completely unaware. She stood in front of Du Shu, hands on hips, then pointed at XunMi with a posture of victory.

“You see, Nian XunMi, my father and mother have both acquiesced. So you just get lost, go far away, and don’t appear in front of me, or make an exhibition of yourself in Li Hua Province.”

XunMi wrinkled her brow. She really wanted to beat up the Female Lead. This deficit in IQ really made her speechless.

It was just that someone was one step faster than her. At once, Ziju BaiLin grabbed the tea cup from the table and threw it directly.

In the middle of Nian Xue’er’s forehead, blood mixed with tea and trickled down.

“What kind of thing are you, to dare shame my, Ziju BaiLin’s, wife? Just a Nian family, as long as I desire it, I can make it cease to exist.”

He did not know at all what a Nian family had to be proud of in the end. If not for his wife’s honor, he would have beaten down the influential families of Li Hua Province long ago.

In the end, the reason the Nian family could be so secure nowadays was thanks to XunMi.

Therefore, how did this person deserve to show off and dare to target his wife like this?

Nian Xue’er didn’t understand what was going on. She didn’t speak, but just burst into tears, and stared unwaveringly at Ziju BaiLin.

No one spoke up for Nian Xue’er. Even Du Shu, aside from revealing some distress in her eyes, only her hand pinching her handkerchief trembled a little.

She seemed to be struggling, thinking whether she should comfort Nian Xue’er, or…

Nian ShuRong simply felt this was immensely gratifying, and she did not forget to stomp on Nian Xue’er’s foot.

“Serves you right for not having eyes. Stupid.”

Even if XunMi left the Nian family, she still had a bandit marshal husband. Because that guy deeply loved her little sister to the point that he would defend her even if she were wrong, he would absolutely not let anyone bully her sister.

As a matter of fact, it had already been proven she really deserved it.

Nian WenHao had been calmly drinking his tea, seeming not to take this matter to heart at all, but the disdain and disgust in his eyes showed that he hadn’t missed a thing.

XunMi shook her head slightly and pulled Ziju BaiLin’s hand, indicating to him not to be angry; it wasn’t worth it.

“Mom and Dad, I think Hai Tang, oh, no, Nian Xue’er, is in a bad mood. As long as I’m here, it may not be peaceful. I will go back with BaiLin first. You all can have a good talk. If you need anything, do not hesitate to send someone to the Marshal’s residence to find me.”

She didn’t want to make things difficult for her family. They were really good people. She hoped that they could get through these troubled times peacefully.

“Xiao Mi…” Du Shu opened her mouth, and then closed it again. She didn’t know what to say.

Nian BingRong understood XunMi’s intentions, and his face immediately softened.

“If you need anything as well, tell me and your mom. No matter what, you are a daughter of my Nian family, and you’ve entered our family genealogy.”

This point would never change. Their daughter had been clever and obedient since she was a child. Even knowing that she was not their own biological child, he couldn’t bear to lose such a beloved daughter.

XunMi nodded and pulled Ziju BaiLin to leave. She had just put one step out the door when she felt a large driving force attack her from behind.

Her center of gravity was unstable, and she began to fall straight forward, but in front of her were the stairs. If she really fell down forwards, she was afraid her face might be disfigured, if not ruined.

Ziju BaiLin moved quickly, but he was also affected by the push, and the inertia drove him forward.

Even though he was someone who studied martial arts, it was impossible to have one foot on the ground, one foot in the air, then be pushed by someone, and while holding someone else, still stand steadily.

So as soon as he felt something was amiss, his first reaction was to embrace XunMi and turn around, putting himself under her as a cushion.

Thump! Ka-cha!

“Be careful!”

“Marshal!”

There was a loud noise from their landing on the ground, as well as the sound of something shattering.

At the same time, Nian ShuRong and Mu Cheng shouted out in alarm.

XunMi had already closed her eyes and stretched out a hand to cover her face, ready to accept the consequences.

However, she didn’t expect to fall into a familiar embrace before landing. Then she heard the smothered groan mixed with pain which made her eyes redden.

How could she not identify her husband’s voice? She quickly opened her eyes and looked at her husband, whose eyes were tightly shut.

His face was wrinkled together. He was clearly in a lot of pain, for such a masculine guy to show such an expression.

Ziju BaiLin only sensed one feeling right now: that was pain. Pain all over from head to toe, especially his back.

The steps knocked against his spine, and the back of his head hit the ground. It was a big shock, and now his brain was muddled.

He wanted to open his eyes, but he found he had no strength.

“BaiLin! BaiLin! Husband!” XunMi rolled over and frantically crawled to the side, carefully holding Ziju BaiLin’s head in fear.

She didn’t dare move his body at all, and her tears flowed out continuously.

She reached a hand out fiercely to wipe them off, not caring about getting dirt on her face.

“Mu Cheng, Mu Cheng, quickly go find a doctor, find a doctor!” She screamed, completely losing the grace and calm of the past. The present XunMi was truly in an extreme state of discomposure.

Her eyes were red, she was kneeling on the ground, her clothes were dirty, and her complexion was a terrible deathly pale.

As the accident happened too quickly, everyone who had not yet recovered now immediately awakened.
