The Young Matriarch

Chapter 351: Chapter 351: All on the Family Tree are Under My Protection

Bai Yinyin indeed had a death wish, but after all, she was a member of the Bai Family.

She once told that person she would protect all the future descendants of the Bai Family, so as their old ancestor, she was relatively tolerant toward Bai Yinyin, the brainless supporting character.

Moreover, with Bai Yinyin approaching her college entrance exams, the old ancestor wouldn’t lay a hand on a student who had endured ten years studying cold nights, so the reckoning had been delayed until now.

Today, the final accounts would be settled.

With a “thud,” Bai Yinyin swiftly knelt down from the chair and threw herself at Bai Guofu, crying and shouting, “Grandpa, you must save me! I’m your only granddaughter.”

Bai Yinyin didn’t know exactly what kind of spirit Bai Chuwei was, but having lived from ancient times to the modern era, where human life was cheap, could Bai Chuwei kill her?

...

Crying and shouting, Bai Yinyin lunged at Bai Guofu, clinging tight to his waist without letting go, her body trembling fiercely.

Upon seeing Bai Yinyin’s demeanor, the main branch of the Bai Family instantly understood—

The little girl, Bai Yinyin, probably knew.

And now she finally knew fear.

In the summer, everyone wore light clothing, and Bai Guofu could almost feel Bai Yinyin’s scalding hot tears falling on his thighs.

Bai Yinyin choked on her sobs, crying incoherently, “Grandpa save me, I don’t want to die.”

Bai Guofu’s face instantly darkened, and he retorted angrily, “Bai Yinyin, what nonsense are you spouting? Why would the old ancestor want your life?”

Bai Guofu couldn’t be certain of other things, but the old ancestor would definitely not take the lives of the Bai Family’s descendants!

Bai Yinyin kept shaking her head, choking on her sobs and crying out, “She will, she will! Grandpa save me.”

Bai Hongguang and Liu Man, the husband and wife, were dumbstruck. Could their daughter be possessed?

Yinyin was their second family’s only daughter; she didn’t need to humble herself before Bai Chuwei, the adopted daughter.

Could it be…

With a doubtful look, Liu Man stared at Bai Chuwei, her voice tinged with tension, “Could it be you are a murderer? Discovered by Yinyin?”

Otherwise, why was her daughter so terrified?

Liu Man’s body shuddered, if that was true and they were dealing with a murderer, it wasn’t just Bai Yinyin who would be scared, she would be too!

Bai Guofu, dizzy with anger, scolded sharply, “Shut up! Don’t be disrespectful to the old ancestor, and stop spouting nonsense!”

Bai Chuwei propped up her chin, looking out at the waning moon through the window, her tone detached as if reminiscing, “I once promised your Bai Family ancestors, to protect the future offspring of the Bai Family.”

“As long as your name is written in the Bai Family genealogy, you are under my protection.”

Bai Chuwei glanced sideways at Bai Yinyin, a light chuckle in her voice as she dragged out her words, “But since you don’t wish for it, then forget it.”

That chuckle from Bai Chuwei sent shivers through Bai Yinyin. Her head shook like a bobblehead, her lips quivering, “No, it’s not like that…”

If she had heard Bai Chuwei say these things before, she would have scolded her for having delusions, a teenage girl with severe second-year middle school syndrome!

Now—

She didn’t dare!

Bai Yinyin was filled with both fear and dread, an onslaught of emotions whirling madly in her mind.

She was finished.

It was clear Bai Chuwei was here to settle scores after the fact.

“Thud, thud, thud—”

A knocking sound came from the window. Bai Chuwei spoke faintly, “Go open the window.”

Everyone exchanged glances; the eldest brother, Bai Ze, got up and walked to the window, opening it.

The room was air-conditioned, and the warm air from outside rushed in at once.

Several little birds were perched on the windowsill, carrying a blue-covered book, looking obediently at Bai Chuwei.

Bai Chuwei spoke indifferently, “Bai Ze, bring the genealogy.”
