Chapter 87: The Little Rabbit is Still Inside

Meanwhile, nearby.

The slightly plump and noble Young Master didn’t speak. He merely lifted his folding fan slightly, signaling his attendant, dressed in a sapphire blue robe with golden cloud patterns, to ask a question.

“Are you from the Bai Family? Is the Secret Recipe Seasoning from Shiwei Restaurant produced by your family?”

Jiang Dai whispered to Bai Tian, “Why are all these people looking for the seasoning?”

Bai Tian whispered back, “Exactly, where did this barbecue powder come from? With everyone saying it, I’m starting to suspect it’s from our family.”

Bai Yun’an, who had taken out the barbecue powder: …

【I can’t believe it, a small packet of barbecue powder has attracted so many people!】

【If in a few days we reveal things like Sanhua evaporated milk, Artificial Duck Blood, or Yidi Xiang, won’t these people go crazy?】

Juanjuan furrowed her little brows, still unable to understand.

Old Madam Bai’s eyes lit up at the mention of seasoning, and she looked towards Bai Tian behind her.

In an instant, all eyes were on Bai Tian.

Bai Tian couldn’t help but smile as he noticed the attention from those around him.

Old Madam Bai actually knew nothing about the seasoning; she just wanted to benefit from it.

The onlookers’ gazes were filled with curiosity, greed, and envy.

The noble and slightly plump young man only showed anticipation and urgency on his face.

But under everyone’s expectant gazes, Bai Tian merely offered an apologetic smile.

“Young Master, our family truly doesn’t have any seasoning. Otherwise, look…”

Bai Tian didn’t bother with Old Madam Bai, instead bowing to the young man with a somewhat apologetic expression, pointing to the Bai family’s rundown courtyard.

“If our family really had such valuable items as you mentioned, we would have sold them long ago. Why would we still be suffering in poverty?”

Bai Tian shifted his focus to Old Madam Bai. “Mother! If our family really had such ancestral treasures, they wouldn’t be with me! Wouldn’t you have given them to Second Brother’s family long ago?”

Old Madam Bai pointed a finger at Bai Tian. “You, you, you!”

“I, I, I! I really don’t have any!”

Bai Tian laughed, knocking Old Madam Bai’s hand away, his smile disappearing instantly. “It’s not polite to point at people when speaking! You need to change that!”

Jiang Dai looked at Bai Tian in surprise, not expecting him to be so adept at provoking others.

He interrupted Old Madam Bai several times and even knocked her hand away.

Didn’t he see Old Madam Bai’s face turning red with anger?

“Are you sure your family doesn’t have it?”

The young man with the folding fan asked again.

Bai Tian replied, “We really don’t.”

The young man’s smile vanished instantly. He glanced around at the noisy surroundings, his mouth curling slightly before turning to enter the carriage.

“Fulai! Let’s go! This is boring!”

“Alright!”

The young man in the sapphire blue robe responded, signaling the driver to leave the bustling area.

Old Madam Bai watched the young noble leave, anxious yet helpless, stomping her foot in frustration.

Jiang Dai watched the carriage depart, muttering quietly, “Just leaving like that?”

In typical novel plots, shouldn’t such a wealthy young man be arrogant and domineering?

Just making a brief appearance to assert his presence, then leaving?

Jiang Dai didn’t understand.

The next moment, Jiang Dai was suddenly shoved.

“Sir, don’t go yet! It must be in their house!”

Second Aunt Bai shouted loudly, using all her strength to rush into the Bai family’s small courtyard.

Jiang Dai reached out to stop her, but was nearly knocked over by the charging Second Aunt Bai.

Seeing Jiang Dai trying to stop her, Second Aunt Bai was delighted and rushed forward even faster.

She thought, during her last two visits, the sixth family had always blocked her from entering the house. There must be something good inside!

“Slow down!”

Bai Tian quickly supported Jiang Dai, frowning slightly. “She’s as strong as a bear. Aren’t you worried about getting hurt?”

Jiang Dai, however, smiled slightly and whispered, “It’s fine.”

By this time, Chunlai had probably already taken care of things.

Without being invited in, they barged in. Let them! Our home is a haven for two Transmigrators, so naturally, they’ll have to pay a little entrance fee.

“Brother, she went inside!”

Juanjuan looked worried, glancing at her second brother holding her hand, and whispered, “The little rabbit is still…”

That White Rabbit, rare even in Jingcheng, what if Second Aunt sees it and takes it away?

…

Bai Yunxing hadn’t had a chance to speak.

Suddenly, a piercing scream of terror came from inside the courtyard.

The onlookers near the gate heard a clear sound of something shattering.

The woman’s screams from inside the house and the villagers’ exclamations outside made the carriage, which hadn’t gone far, come to a halt.

A corner of the carriage’s small window curtain was lifted by a folding fan.

“Fulai, what’s going on back there?”

Fulai peered back but only saw the villagers moving chaotically. “Second Young Master, I can’t see clearly from here. Should I go take a look?”

“Then go take a look! Don’t draw attention!”

Fulai glanced at his eye-catching sapphire blue attire, revealing an awkward smile.

The Second Young Master must be crazy.

Not drawing attention? With this bright blue outfit, unless people are blind.

“Fulai!”

The young man with the folding fan lifted the curtain, pointing his fan at Fulai, who was lost in thought.

“Don’t space out! Everyone’s watching the commotion, not you!”

“Now hurry up and go!”

Seeing the Second Young Master’s fan about to come down, Fulai dashed off.

“It’s Aunt Chunlai!”

Juanjuan recognized the scream from inside the house.

While others stood on tiptoe to peek into the courtyard,

The child crouched down, lowering her head and sticking her little butt out, trying to see through the legs of the adults to figure out what was happening in her family’s courtyard.

Seeing his sister like this, Bai Yunqi really wanted to give her a kick.

But he held back. In the sect, he was used to kicking little brats.

He couldn’t kick now.

Bai Yunxing merely stood silently by his sister’s side, preventing anyone from accidentally kicking over the small figure crouched on the ground.

“Let’s go see!”

Suddenly, Bai Yun’an took off running, pulling the little one crouched on the ground up with him, heading towards home.

【If you want to see, get closer! What can you see from squatting here? People’s butts?】

Juanjuan’s legs followed her third brother, but her head turned back to look at her second brother.

Second Brother had just stopped her from going to see.

Now if she suddenly ran back home, Second Brother…

“Why are you looking at him? If you want to go, just go!”

Bai Yun’an noticed Juanjuan’s hesitant steps, turned back, and decisively said.

Juanjuan pursed her lips, her steps no longer hesitant, and followed her third brother.

She wanted to see what was happening.

Bai Yunxing watched his younger siblings run off and followed them.

Bai Yunqi’s gaze lingered on his younger siblings.

These twin brothers, although they seemed similar to his memories, felt different from before.
