Chapter 41: The Children's Whereabouts
On the way back, Yu Wan, her brother, and Bai Tang were in one carriage. Her uncle and his sons were in another carriage. The remaining three carriages pulling New Year's goods followed steadily behind.When they left the Bai Manor, it was snowing lightly. The carriage moved slowly, leaving crunching sounds in the snow.
Little Bruiser was tired from playing. The moment he got into the carriage, he fell asleep in Yu Wan's arms.
Along the way, everyone was very quiet.
When they arrived at the White Jade Restaurant, it was already midnight. The entire town had fallen into a deep sleep, and the door of the White Jade Restaurant was tightly shut.
"Do you want me to call for help?" Yu Feng jumped off the carriage and asked through the curtain.
Bai Tang's expression had returned to normal and she replied indifferently.
Yu Feng quickly knocked on the door of the White Jade Restaurant.
The old man who opened the door was the escort that the late madam had brought from her maiden home. After the late madam passed away, he and his wife had been serving Bai Tang. The two elders were living in the White Jade Restaurant now, but they did not interfere much with the restaurant's business and were more responsible for Bai Tang's daily life.
"It's Miss." Seeing Bai Tang come out of the carriage, the uncle did not show much surprise. He held the lamp and welcomed Bai Tang in.
"Wait." Yu Wan took down the congratulatory gift she had chosen before. "It's not anything valuable. I hope Miss Bai doesn't mind."
Bai Tang looked at Yu Wan expressionlessly. She did not ask why she was giving it to her, nor did she refuse.
Yu Wan did not mind her sullen face. She was a child after all. After being wronged, she would be in a bad mood for a while.
Yu Wan smiled and said, "I'll bring it up for you."
"Yeah." This time, she made a sound.
"Let me do it." The uncle went to help Yu Wan.
"Let me do it, let me do it!" Yu Feng strode forward and took most of the things. There were only two boxes of snacks left and he let Yu Wan send them in.
The uncle woke his wife up, and the two elders went to the kitchen to boil water for Bai Tang and make supper.
Yu Feng and Yu Wan followed Bai Tang to the backyard. The lights in the room had already been lit by the old man. Yu Feng walked towards the room with his head lowered. He walked faster than Yu Wan and Bai Tang.
"Aiya." Yu Wan thought of something and was about to call out to Yu Feng when Yu Feng had already rushed into the house with a few large bags.
After a while, Yu Feng came out with a red face.
"I, I didn't see anything!" When he brushed past Bai Tang, he said incoherently. After saying that, he straightened his neck and ran out of the White Jade Restaurant.
Bai Tang was so preoccupied that she didn't hear what Yu Feng said at all, nor did she notice his panic. Before crossing the threshold, she stopped in her tracks. She seemed to be muttering and explaining, "My father wasn't like this in the past. When I was young, he treated me extremely well."
"I understand." Yu Wan nodded. "Here's your things."
Bai Tang took the two boxes of snacks.
Yu Wan bade her farewell and turned to walk towards the door.
