Chapter 557 - 554: Alive_1
Dong Changlan hurriedly pulled Dong Changmao and bowed to Bai Qingyan: "Thank you, cousin, for your generosity!"
Dong Changmao, protected by Dong Changlan, felt a mix of bitterness and warmth in his heart, gazing at his brother with immense gratitude.
"Alright then! Since that’s the case, let’s not punish Aunt Luo! Tell Aunt Luo to go back and reflect on her mistakes, and not to associate with Luo Fugui anymore. If she can consider Changmao like Changlan does, she should confine herself!" Dong Qingyue put down the teacup in his hand and got up to bid farewell to Madam Dong.
After the group dispersed from Madam Dong’s room, Bai Qingyan took Chun Tao back to her room. Chun Tao’s eyes were still swollen.
Bai Qingyan looked at Chun Tao, who kept sobbing but didn’t forget to serve her by bringing water to wash her hands. She said, "From now on, be more mindful of your belongings, especially when you’re outside. It’s different from being in our own mansion; some people might use dirty tricks to deal with you!"
Chun Tao nodded vigorously: "It’s all my fault, causing trouble for you, Miss!"
"What are you talking about? It’s not trouble just because someone targeted you!" Bai Qingyan watched Chun Tao cry as she washed her hands. She took the handkerchief Chun Tao handed over and wiped her hands. "Alright, stop crying! I think... when Chen Qingsheng returns, let’s ask Mother to arrange your marriage soon. This way, no one will covet our Chun Tao as she gets prettier."
"Miss!" Chun Tao’s tear-streaked face turned red in an instant. She stomped her foot and pouted, then picked up the basin Bai Qingyan had used to wash her hands and turned to leave.
Bai Qingyan chuckled softly. The matter of Chun Tao’s marriage had truly taken root in her heart. She wondered when Jintong would return from the sea, as it had been too long since she had last sent a letter. This made Bai Qingyan feel uneasy.
Just as Bai Qingyan sat down by the window and picked up a book, Chun Tao, still blushing, hurried back in. She bowed respectfully to Bai Qingyan and said, "Miss, Lu Ping has returned with people and asks to see you!"
