"Moreover, if I told them the truth, they sure will go to Xinghua Village to find Doggy's parents and relatives to verify this matter. By then we'll be screwed."
But if I said Doggy is from the backwoods and he's the only one at home, that would save us a lot of trouble down the road, right?"
When Bai Jinyao said this, Mrs. Bai also felt that it made sense.
"So that's how it is. Have you explained it clearly to Doggy's parents? Since they've sold Doggy, then Doggy is a member of our family! We can't go back to their house."
Bai Jinyao nodded. "I've made it clear. Mother, we can just call him Tieniu from now on. Doggy is not a good name."
"Doggy is indeed not a good name, but Tieniu is no better."
Mrs. Bai muttered in a low voice.
Bai Jinyao choked. "Mother, I'll let you get back to it."
"Alright, alright, alright. I'll leave you alone. Just go."
Mrs. Bai waved her hand and went back to her room.
Seeing that her mother believed her, Bai Jinyao heaved a sigh of relief.
She reckoned that Luo Xichu should have changed his clothes and finished drinking the medicine by now, so she wanted to go in and check in on him.
However, as soon as she pushed open the door, she could already feel the coldness exuding from Luo Xichu's body.
Although Luo Xichu's eyes were closed, the aura around him made Bai Jinyao suddenly cower.
She stood at the door, not knowing whether to enter or leave.
She suddenly remembered that this room wasn't soundproof. She thought Luo Xichu might have heard what she had said to the soldiers just now.
"Is that why he is so angry now?" she thought.
If she didn't explain it clearly, Luo Xichu's hatred for her would only grow deeper!
For the sake of her life, she decided she had to explain.
Bai Jinyao quietly walked into the room and closed the door.
"Well, I can explain,"
Bai Jinyao coughed.
But the only answer she got was silence.
Luo Xichu's eyes were closed as if he was asleep. On closer inspection, one could see that his eyelids were trembling slightly.
He was obviously awake, but he did not want to talk to Bai Jinyao.
Bai Jinyao gritted her teeth and continued to explain.
"I apologize for locking you in the room a few days ago and not getting a doctor for you.
I've thought it through these few days. I shouldn't have forced you.
You're still sick and weak. Even if I let you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of bed.
So when you've recovered, you can leave if you want. I won't stop you.
Also, I made up your identity with the soldiers just now because the people in the town knew that you and I got married a few days ago.
If I didn't say this, I'm afraid they wouldn't let us get away with this so easily.
When you're good to leave, I will take the initiative to go to the government to register our divorce. Don't worry."
Bai Jinyao looked at Luo Xichu and said to him in a serious tone.
Before she transmigrated here, she couldn't explain the bad things that the original female lead did to the male lead.
She could only apologize even if he didn't believe her.
Now she just needed to explain.
She would not force him to stay.
She would not hit or scold him.
He would not lock him in a small black room either.
Not only that, she would even worship him as God and take good care of him until he was good to go.
Then she decided she should try to please Luo Xichu and change his opinion of her.
That way, even if Luo Xichu left, she wouldn't be executed because of what the original female lead had done!
With this in mind, Bai Jinyao's desire to let Luo Xichu recover immediately and send him away became stronger!
