Everyone in the country knew about Bai Ze's background.
From a skinny young man whose father was killed by bandits, he gradually became the National Guardian General of the Three Kingdoms.
Gu Yuan really couldn't understand how his wife was related to this General Bai.
When he thought that his wife might be related to this General Bai, Gu Yuan could not help but have a little bubble in his heart.
What kind of experience was it when his wife's charm was too strong?
Compared to Gu Yuan's gloominess, Jiujiu raised her brows when she heard that Bai Ze was here. "General Bai is here to visit me? Hurry up and prepare. "
Jiujiu got up from the soft couch and turned to Xiuzhi. "General Bai loves sweet and sour fish and gourd chicken. Oh yes, it would be best if you could prepare a roasted suckling pig. Also, go to the hotel to get a few bottles of good wine and invite Miss Bai back. Tell her that her brother is here."
Jiujiu seemed to be very familiar with Bai Ze's preferences in the first half of her sentence. Gu Yuan was filled with jealousy when he heard that.
But when Jiujiu said 'Miss Bai, brother', the jealousy disappeared without a trace and was replaced by a faint sweetness.
Gu Yuan had always known that his wife was the wife behind the scenes of the mysterious grain store and the master on the surface, Madam Bai, was his wife's servant, Bai Sujiu.
Bai Sujiu had a baby face. Other than his wife, he had an innocent look on his face. Towards others, he did not smile at all.
Moreover, Bai Sujiu's methods of doing business were fierce. Once he did, it would be a bloodbath.
Those merchants whose businesses were affected by Bai Sujiu had tried to kill Bai Sujiu but not all of them were killed by Bai Sujiu. This showed how powerful he was.
Although Gu Yuan did not know why such a powerful person was willing to be ordered around by his wife, Bai Sujiu had never done anything to harm his wife. Instead, he was very concerned about his wife's matters. After some time, Gu Yuan did not care about him anymore.
But he did not expect.
Bai Sujiu's brother was actually Bai Ze.
If Bai Sujiu was willing to be ordered around by his wife, then Bai Ze …
Gu Yuan faintly had a terrifying thought in his mind.
The next day, Bai Ze went straight to Jiujiu as soon as he arrived.
Bai Ze, who was as cold and heartless as a piece of ten-thousand-year-old ice in front of outsiders, smiled innocently like a child in front of Jiujiu.
Especially when Jiujiu smiled at him and praised him for doing a good job, he smiled even more foolishly, asking for her favor.
They were used to seeing Bai Ze's cold and serious expression. When Bai Ze revealed an innocent smile, no one could find a trace of the general who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield.
Bai Ze was different from Bai Sujiu.
Even though Bai Sujiu had to run business all over the country, he would still be able to stay by Jiujiu's side for one or two months every year.
On the other hand, Bai Ze had been in the military camp for five years. Every day, he would open his eyes and charge into battle. Even after he became a general, although the number of times he charged into battle decreased, the number of times he used his brain increased. It was still very tough.
For the Northwest Army, the Emperor taking back the seal and summoning Bai Ze back to the capital is a humiliation.
But for Bai Ze, allowing him to come back to the capital and see his master is simply a great reward.
As for other things, he didn't even think about it.
The scene of Bai Ze's visit to Gu Yuan's residence was naturally seen by those who were interested.
Compared to the majority of the people who were curious about how Bai Ze and Gu Yuan got together, more people wanted to know. Bai Ze and Gu Yuan, one was a scholar and one was a martial artist. If the two really had a good relationship, then it would be a threat to the Emperor's throne.
Even if Gu Yuan's power had already been given away a lot.
When the Emperor heard the news of Gu Yuan and Bai Ze's meeting and the two seemed to have a good chat, his heart was filled with endless regret for the stupid decision he made.
How could he know?
Bai Ze's influence in the military was so great that even if he took back the seal, the officials in the Northwest would still only know of the existence of General Bai Ze and not the existence of the Emperor in the capital.
As for Gu Yuan, he was crowned as the number one scholar with a poem. Later on, he solved several seemingly unsolvable cases and became famous. In order to take back the power in the hands of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor single-handedly promoted Gu Yuan's fame, resulting in the current situation.
The Emperor regretted it.
The Emperor felt uncomfortable.
But he had no choice.
When he took back Bai Ze's seal, he had already alienated himself from Bai Ze.
And when he took back the power in Gu Yuan's hands bit by bit, he alienated himself from Gu Yuan.
Now, except for the position of Emperor, he was treading on thin ice and acting nervously.
The Emperor thought that if he was given another chance, he would definitely not do such a stupid thing.
But was there a chance to do it again in the world?
Yes.
But that was a chance for people with great merit to make a wish for a second chance at the cost of their souls. Moreover, the person who made the wish for a second chance was not himself.
The Emperor was such a selfish person. Did he have the courage to come out of his soul and have a second chance?
Everyone thought that Bai Ze and Gu Yuan had a good chat.
But in fact, Bai Ze and Gu Yuan didn't say much at all.
Bai Ze kept asking about Jiujiu's well-being and even took out many of his secret treasures to give to Jiujiu's child, as well as this infant who had yet to be born.
Jiujiu had Xiu He put away the treasures that Bai Ze gave her one by one and said with a smile, "Your status now is different from before. If you come here often, you will definitely arouse His Majesty's suspicion. If there is anything in the future, just let Sujiu pass on the message to me."
Jiujiu's words caused Bai Ze's handsome face to instantly wrinkle like a bun.
Bai Ze pouted unwillingly, "At that time, I wanted Bai Sujiu to be a general, but you insisted that I go. I suffered so much and still can't stay by Master's side. What's the use of me being a general?"
If he had known that he would have to manage the company no matter what, he wouldn't have become this nuisance of a general.
Seeing Bai Ze's dissatisfied expression, Jiujiu sighed and rubbed Bai Ze's head, "You're a man, Sujiu is a girl. How can a girl be a general?"
Bai Ze retorted, "In ancient times, Hua Mulan joined the army on her father's behalf. Bai Sujiu joined the army on her brother's behalf. What's wrong with her dressing as a man?"
Jiujiu was stunned by Bai Ze's words. Then, she raised her hand and poked Bai Ze's forehead and said with a smile, "You, I promise you that once this matter is over, I will let you stay by my side. How about it?"
After receiving Jiujiu's promise, Bai Ze revealed a satisfied smile.
However, when he turned around and saw Gu Yuan, Bai Ze still didn't find him pleasing to the eye. After snorting, he took the snacks that Jiujiu gave him and left in large strides.
After Bai Ze left, Bai Sujiu also didn't stay any longer.
After Bai Ze and Bai Sujiu left together, Gu Yuan sat across from Jiujiu and looked at his wife. For the first time, he felt as if he didn't know this person.
When Jiujiu brought Bai Sujiu back from outside and handed over all her businesses to Bai Sujiu, Gu Yuan was very puzzled.
A capable person like Bai Sujiu would be able to make a name for himself even without Jiujiu's start-up capital.
