Chapter 1807: Chapter 1807: Androgynous
The feeling of being unconditionally trusted is truly wonderful, Bai Ruozhu imdiately decided to add a dish for everyone for dinner, making that dish of drunken shrimp he liked.
During dinner, when Bai Zehao saw the drunken shrimp placed in front of him, he smiled so widely that his mouth couldn’t close and said, “Little sister is so considerate, I haven’t even done the work yet and I’m already being rewarded.”
Bai Ruozhu laughed, “I’ve already taught sister-in-law how to make it, so you won’t need to worry about wanting to eat it in the future.”
Bai Zehao looked at his wife, only to see Wan Caiyue’s cheeks slightly red, and she said, “This is relatively simple to make, otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to learn little sister’s good skills.”
“Everything you make is great,” Bai Zehao laughed foolishly.
Bai Zepei, next to him, made a sound of surprise, “Big brother ans he doesn’t want to eat little sister’s cooking anymore? Then why not give it to .” Saying that, he reached out and took the plate of drunken shrimp in front of him.
“Hey, I, I…” Bai Zehao was suddenly at a loss for words, unable to explain or choose not to explain, making the whole family laugh.
Little Dengdeng slipped over from the won’s table and said to Bai Zepei, “Second uncle, you can’t bully first uncle. Mom said siblings should live in harmony, I’m very good to Chenxi and little brother.”
Bai Zepei saw his little nephew’s earnest expression and couldn’t help but laugh too. He then pushed the dish back, “Big brother, you’ve found a helper so quickly, I admit defeat.”
Bai Zehao also laughed, “Haha, let’s eat together, let’s eat together, like Dengdeng said, siblings should live in harmony.”
Jiao Ling and Fen Jiu were very envious of the Bai family’s feelings, Jiuli wasn’t bad, just a bit too serious, not as intimate as ordinary families.
After dinner, Bai Ruozhu took Dengdeng back to the yard, and after coaxing Dengdeng to sleep, she got up and returned to her room.
“Master, it’s been found out who bribed that guest,” Jianqi’s voice sounded.
“Oh?” Bai Ruozhu nearly forgot that soone had reported the incident of Ji Ziyan falling to the governnt office.
“It was a relative of General Cai Yucheng from the Jinwu Guard, Song Ke, who bought a restaurant in Beiyu City, probably thinking of competing with Yingkelai for business,” Jianqi said.
Bai Ruozhu thought for a mont and said, “It’s not good to have internal conflicts at this ti, competition between restaurants is normal, but the incident happened at Yingkelai, him sending soone to report it doesn’t an anything, let’s just let it pass.”
Jianqi nodded, “The master is broad-minded, indeed we should avoid extra trouble at this ti.”
Bai Ruozhu washed up and rested, Jianqi withdrew.
Lying in bed, Bai Ruozhu thought again about Ji Ziyan and Zhou Jue. Although Ji Ziyan caused trouble at Yingkelai because he got drunk, he did fall there. Sending soone to take care of him and covering the dical expenses was the right thing to do. But Zhou Jue didn’t seem to care much about the cowpox issue anymore, his attention was all on Ji Ziyan, which didn’t match his ruthless nature. Could it be he truly loves Ji Ziyan?
As a modern convert and a fujoshi, Bai Ruozhu could accept male love, but Zhou Jue was disgusting, sleeping with both won and n. Did he think he was hermaphroditic?
Wait!
Bai Ruozhu’s eyes suddenly widened. Thinking this way was a bit bizarre, but perhaps Zhou Jue truly was hermaphroditic?
Ji Ziyan was drugged and hallucinated, but surely he’d know if he slept with a woman or a man, since the positions differ, unless Zhou Jue has a woman’s part…
And the old Emperor Chengshui raised Zhou Jue as a princess, thinking about it seed absurd, but if Zhou Jue was hermaphroditic, the old Emperor might have believed that removing a certain part would make Zhou Jue a real princess?
The more Bai Ruozhu thought about it, the more possible it seed, even getting a bit excited, but she couldn’t exactly pull down Zhou Jue’s pants to check, right?
However, after thinking it over, she felt a bit sympathetic towards Zhou Jue.
In her past life in Mi Country, when she studied dicine, her professor had researched patients who were hermaphrodites. Such people are rare but not nonexistent; she had read the professor’s report and was very shocked at the ti.
These people shared a similarity: they live painfully, enduring the strange looks of others, and often have trouble finding love.
So chose surgery, but it must be done after adulthood when hormones stabilize, to decide whether to beco a man or a woman. Such surgeries are complex, involving a series of treatnts afterward to ensure hormone balance. It’s impossible in dically underdeveloped countries, let alone with ancient tis’ crude dical equipnt.
So never have the surgery, but such people often don’t live long, dying of illness in their forties.
If Zhou Jue truly is hermaphroditic, as he ages, he will face many physical problems, which might explain why he’s so perverted, why he swings both ways because he needs to balance yin and yang.
Thinking about it, Bai Ruozhu fell asleep. Before she slept, she thought about asking Zhou Jue next ti she saw him, but then she figured Zhou Jue would probably kill her to keep her quiet.
The next morning, she woke up with dark circles, scaring Min Xiang, who thought she was unwell and wanted to report to Lin Ping’er.
Bai Ruozhu stopped her, saying, “It’s just fatigue, poor sleep, I’ll take a nap after noon, and I’ll be fine.”
Min Xiang then felt reassured and prepared water for her to wash up.
After breakfast, Bai Ruozhu and Zhou Zhou went into the palace as usual, but upon entering the room, they found Consort Le despondently sitting alone, seemingly depressed again.
When she saw Bai Ruozhu, she suddenly jumped up, excitedly rushed over and grabbed Bai Ruozhu’s hand, asking, “Ruozhu, they say the Empress Dowager is really dead, did you say that just to trick into eating? Is it true?”
Bai Ruozhu almost wanted to curse; this was too damn foolish, who ran their mouth like that, it was asking for a beating.
But Zhou Zhou had already reported to the Emperor, and the Emperor must have given orders. Even if no orders were given, those serving around Consort Le should have seen the circumstances, knowing what should be said and what not, who in the palace could be so foolish? Even fools wouldn’t survive to reach Beiyu.
So, soone must have done it on purpose.
Bai Ruozhu pulled Consort Le aside, deliberately lowering her voice, and mysteriously said, “The Empress Dowager is alive, but King Rui can’t find out, otherwise, even if he doesn’t send soone to kill her, he’d try to capture her to threaten the Emperor. So very few people in the palace know about it.”
Consort Le cald down, without Ling Xue around to brainwash her, she wasn’t as resistant to Bai Ruozhu.
“I don’t know if there are any spies in this guest palace, if it reaches King Rui, the Empress Dowager would have difficulty coming to us. Those who spoke were unaware of the facts, you mustn’t argue with them, what if they’re trying to pry information from you?” Bai Ruozhu continued.
