Chapter 1385: Diao Mo and the New Concubine_1

Bai Ruozhu disguised everyone, and soon she became a sickly-looking, sallow-faced young man, while Xuan Jizi and his wife dressed as commoners, posing as her parents.

Jianqi and the others dressed as porters, coachmen, or farmers, and dispersed as they left the City.

Lin Lian gazed at Bai Ruozhu, dressed as her son, and was momentarily lost in thought. Xuan Jizi asked her a question and received no reply for a long time, only to realize that her eyes had turned red.

Xuan Jizi felt a jolt in his heart, bitterness and regret welling up inside. His wife had thought of their son. He was a father who had failed, unable to even protect his own child.

Seeing their low spirits, Bai Ruozhu instantly understood the reason. She felt some sympathy but managed to say with a smile, "It's really not right to make the elders look older. It's my fault for being too old. If I were as young as Xiaosi, I'd be just the right age to be your son."
