Chapter 162: Putting on a Sick Act to Save Face

"Children's cries cannot be ignored, and Bai Ruozhu couldn't bear it either. She got up to excuse herself to the crowd, "I'll go back to the room and check on the child; please, continue eating."

Everyone naturally wouldn't stop her, and Bai Ruozhu went back to the room to pick up Dengdeng and soothe him, yet her ears remained pricked for any commotion from the Main Hall.

Dengdeng must have been hungry, as he quieted down after latching on, but he still kept his big eyes fixed on Bai Ruozhu while nursing. Probably curious about why Bai Ruozhu was crying.

Bai Ruozhu rarely cried out of self-pity. She was inherently a positive and optimistic person, and on top of that, a bit rough around the edges. She hadn't cried for her own sake in her previous life, nor after her transmigration. The tears she shed now were for her family, pained for Er Lang's hardships, for Yihong's sacrifices, and even more so for the difficulties her parents faced.
