Chapter 412: Chapter 412: The Silent Baby is Here

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help remembering the time when she tried to bribe Jiang Yichun to break Sanlang’s leg. Jiang Yichun took off his mask to prove his identity. He also took off his mask when he met her privately, and didn’t wear a mask at all at night. It turned out that the mask wasn’t unique to him.

However, on further reflection, the mask on the man’s face just now was slightly different from Jiang Yichun’s. Only up close could she discern this. His physique was also similar to Jiang Yichun’s. Upon closer examination, though, she was able to detect differences in their demeanor. It was just that she was too overjoyed just now, and didn’t observe him carefully.

Perhaps all the members of the confidential department of the Tongzhi Division wear such masks. The man just now must have been from the Tongzhi Division as well.

Bai Ruozhu embarrassedly gave her second brother a wry smile, having never expected to recognize the wrong person.

Bai Zepei shook his head helplessly, saying, "Let’s go find an inn to stay in."

The two of them wandered the streets and soon found a relatively clean inn to stay in. Seeing that it was not too late, Bai Zepei said he wanted to run some errands for Master Xie first, so he went out alone.

Actually, Master Xie and Yu Hongxiu wanted to come along for the trip, but Bai Ruozhu persuaded them not to. It hadn’t been three months since Yu Hongxiu had become pregnant, and miscarriages weren’t uncommon during this period. With the morning sickness just starting to improve, what if she was jostled or bumped during the journey? Even if the journey was safe, what if the morning sickness started again?

Finally, Master Xie didn’t dare to take the risk. He stayed with Yu Hongxiu in Anyuan Town. He had Bai Zepei visit his good friends in Beiyu City, but in fact, he was helping Bai Zepei pave the way.

Bai Ruozhu, thinking of Jiang Yichun’s order to register at the Commerce Association, picked up Dengdeng and went out. She quickly found the Commerce Association located in Beiyu City.

Beiyu City has a lot of foot traffic and people of all trades. So, Bai Ruozhu going to register while holding a baby did not attract much attention from the person in charge of registration. However, when he saw the name she had filled out, he took a closer look.

"Alright, but the registration card won’t be ready until tomorrow. May I ask where you live, madam, so that we can deliver it to you?" The person responsible for registering asked.

"It’s at Linjiang Residence on that street over there. Just tell the shopkeeper my name," Bai Ruozhu said with a faint smile.

...

In a private residence in Beiyu City, Jiang Yichun respectfully bows to his master, Wu Yunfeng, who was standing by the window, looking outside, lost in thought.

"What do you need from your master?" After a while, Wu Yunfeng recollected his thoughts, turned around, and asked Jiang Yichun sternly.

Jiang Yichun knew that his master disliked beating around the bush, so he said straight out, "Yes, I’m looking for a job so I can step into society as soon as possible."

Wu Yunfeng was slightly taken aback and gave Jiang Yichun a probing look.

"Oh? I remember suggesting this to you before, but you refused adamantly. You said you preferred hiding your identity and living freely. Why the sudden change of heart?"

Jiang Yichun had prepared himself to tell his master everything, so he bowed again to Wu Yunfeng and said, "Master, I intend to get married."

Wu Yunfeng burst out laughing. His disciple was just like him - straightforward and decisive. Indeed, a man of great character.

"Is it that young widow?" Wu Yunfeng stopped laughing and suddenly asked.

Jiang Yichun wasn’t flustered and looked at his master plainly, saying, "Indeed."

Wu Yunfeng laughed again. "Indeed, even heroes can’t resist the charms of a beautiful woman. If you’re willing to change your mind for her, it seems you’re serious."

"Master, when have I ever not been serious about anything?" Jiang Yichun raised an eyebrow and asked.

Wu Yunfeng shook his head in frustration. Sometimes his disciple got too serious and risked his life because of it.

"Although the woman wasn’t worthy of you at first, I’ve seen her, and she truly is exceptional. She does barely meet your standards. However..." Wu Yunfeng trailed off.

Jiang Yichun’s heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly looked towards his master.

A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Wu Yunfeng’s eyes. Seeing his disciple’s sudden nervousness seemed to please him greatly.

"But there was that time when you disappeared and have no memory of it. Don’t you want to investigate it first?" Wu Yunfeng asked.

Jiang Yichun shook his head. "I’ve searched for a long time without any clues. I don’t want to waste any more time."

Wu Yunfeng suddenly broke out in a sly grin. "When you returned, I noticed that you were no longer a virgin. You’re usually quite a clean-living person. Don’t you wonder what happened? Could it be that you got married during that time?"

At these words, Jiang Yichun’s heart pounded. He looked at his master and asked, "Master, are you kidding me? Why didn’t you say anything before?"

Wu Yunfeng’s face turned serious. "Would I joke about such things? I thought you knew. Or should I have to involve myself in whether or not my disciple sleeps with a woman?" But then he remembered that his disciple, who was always cool as ice, had lost his virginity without even knowing it. He couldn’t help but burst out laughing again.

Jiang Yichun was dumbfounded. His master really knew how to stir up trouble. Why didn’t he just leave it unsaid? Why bring it up now to annoy him?

Moreover, could it be that he had really done something back then? How should he explain this to Ruozhu?

Just as Jiang Yichun was wilting from the shock of the news, a man walked in from outside. The man, similar in physique to Jiang Yichun, held a wooden mask in his hand. His eyes, curved like crescent moons in amusement, were known as laughing eyes. Even when he didn’t smile, these eyes gave off a warm and approachable impression. When he smiled, his eyes resembled cute crescent moons even more.

"Master, do you want to guess who I met outside? It involves junior brother!" Xu Huilin entered the room excitedly. But when he saw that Jiang Yichun was also there, his triumphant look immediately disappeared.

"Junior brother is here, too. I just met senior brother’s friend." Xu Huilin quickly changed his statement, yet he giggled twice.

Jiang Yichun glared at him and said, "I heard it all, just tell it straight."

Xu Huilin gazed at his master, his face full of gossip. He didn’t look anything like the serious official of the Tongzhi Division in the eyes of outsiders.

But Xu Huilin wasn’t afraid of Jiang Yichun. With a naughty grin, he said, "A beautiful woman came to talk to me today, obviously mistaking me for someone else. But the way she looked at me was very eager, she must have a special relationship with someone. "

As he spoke, he sneaked a glance at Jiang Yichun and said triumphantly, "And she had a boy in her arms who looked a bit like someone. Ah, we all say that someone is a dull cucumber, but just like that, he already has a child."

Wu Yunfeng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you saying that the child looks a bit like Yichun? Are you sure you’re not making it up?"

Xu Huilin put on a serious expression. "I’m not making it up. Master, you can go and see for yourself when you have the chance."
