Chapter 599: Sharing Happiness and Difficulties
Bai Jing looked horrified: "Mother..."
"It's okay. If she really died, could it be her ghost you saw?"
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh.
"Back then, that vicious woman tied my mother up in the middle of the night, covered her with a quilt, and stuffed her into a well in the back garden..."
Mrs. Bai narrowed her eyes and recalled the thrill of that time.
"She didn't know that both mother and I had practiced martial arts. Mother barely managed to climb out of the well, climbed over the back wall, and was about to run away when she was discovered by them."
Bai Jing waited nervously for her to tell the story, as if it were happening right there.
"It's just that my mother met a kind person and was rescued..."
They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and smiled bitterly at each other.
Mrs. Bai glanced at the jade token in Bai Jing's hand.
"My mother only brought this sign with her. I guess it's what that vicious woman is worried about."
Bai Jing looked down at the jade token in her hand.
"How did that unfaithful person do it?"
"Alas, that vicious woman has helped him a lot, but I dare not publicize it too much, so I can only help my mother secretly..."
After saying this, the room fell silent.
Both of them were extremely intelligent people. When they thought of the current situation at the same time, they were stunned and unable to speak.
After a while.
"Are you working for the Zhenxi Army now?"
Mrs. Bai asked hesitantly.
Bai Jing nodded: "It's his mortal enemy."
"Jing'er, what do you think?"
"Back then, I hated him so much that I didn't even think about anything else. But later... I realized I had gradually become his opposite."
Mrs. Bai stared into Bai Jing's eyes.
"Who was the one who saved you?"
Bai Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Mother, this is exactly the person you have in mind."
Mrs. Bai was stunned for a while and smiled bitterly.
"My mother and I have such a hard life. I've also heard that there's a woman behind this man, but I didn't expect... Bai Jing, you even changed your last name."
"I just want to take my mother's last name."
"Alas, Jing'er is considered the most miserable princess in the clan."
"Mother is also the most miserable princess of the clan."
The two held hands, shook their heads and smiled bitterly at each other.
Madam Bai frowned and said, "We have become rivals. What should we do?"
"Mom, men are fighting for the world, and we women can only be their wives and helpers. How to choose is their business."
"But Lin Feng has killed too many members of the Black Scarf Society. Mother can't just ignore this."
Bai Jing shook her head and said, "Mom, Lin Feng is too powerful. You are no match for him. Just give up."
Mrs. Bai rolled her eyes at her.
"Why, are you going against your mother just for a man?"
"Mother, the Black Scarf Society is a cult. We cannot allow them to exist in the world and harm the people."
"Nonsense! The Black Scarf Society is for the salvation of all living beings, to ensure that all people are treated equally, and to ensure that everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, and a roof over their heads."
Bai Jing smiled bitterly.
"The Black Scarf Society's original intentions may be good, but look at the people who have been fooled by the Black Scarf Society. They all go to worship the so-called Holy Mother and do nothing but meditate. Mother, where will they get food, clothes, and shelter?"
"Meditation and belief in the Virgin Mary are just beliefs. We still have to farm and do what we need to do. We are all one family, sharing happiness and hardships. Isn't that a good thing?"
"That's simply impossible, mother. Zhao Zheng is still fighting for the throne, and the emperor still has his own harem. Even if you help him conquer the world, it's just a new emperor. What's the essential difference?"
"If mother helps him take the throne, he can command all the nobles in the world to work and eat like the common people, and share the same blessings as the common people."
Bai Jing looked at her mother indifferently, knowing that she couldn't change her mind for the time being.
Suddenly, Bai Jing looked at her mother and asked.
"Mother, have you shared the good and the bad with the Black Scarf Society?"
"Of course, mother has shared the good and bad times with them."
"Then why do you wear brocade and silk, while those in the audience wear plain clothes and have simple meals or nothing at all?"
"Isn't this what mother is fighting for them?"
Bai Jing pointed outside the house and asked, "Are those two your followers?"
"Yes, I am with my mother."
"But they are serving mother."
"Mother is working for the welfare of the people of the world. Can't they contribute their own efforts?"
"But they are also ordinary people. Should they serve you?"
“Someone has to pay the price, even their life, for such a great cause to succeed.”
Bai Jing nodded and said, "Mother, what you mean is that some people in the world should sacrifice their lives to seek happiness for others?"
Madam Bai frowned and said, "How can there be blessings without giving?"
"Who should pay with their life, and who should just sit back and enjoy the rewards?"
"..."
Mrs. Bai was stunned, then murmured.
"You are such a clever kid, I underestimated you."
Bai Jing smiled and said, "Mom, Jing'er has a point, why are you so sharp-tongued?"
"Mother won't argue with you about this. Since you followed Lin Feng, you shouldn't let him down for saving your life. The disputes in the world have nothing to do with you."
Bai Jing patiently advised: "Mom, did you see everything?"
She raised her hand and pointed outside. "In every city captured by the Zhenxi Army, the people live and work in peace and contentment, leading a prosperous life. But what about those cities controlled by the emperor and Zhao Zheng? You should know more about them than Jing'er, right?"
Mrs. Bai was speechless. She had indeed felt the difference between the two sides firsthand.
After a while.
"Lin Feng shouldn't have killed so many people."
Bai Jing smiled bitterly: "Mother, if the Black Scarf Army didn't take up arms, who would want to kill people? As long as they lay down their weapons, Lin Feng will give them food, clothes to wear, houses to live in, and fields to farm. Everything will be given to them."
Madam Bai sneered, "Then Lin Feng wants to be the emperor."
Bai Jing shook her head: "He thinks the same as you do, just wanting the people of the world to have a prosperous life, but your methods are different."
Mrs. Bai's eyes lit up: "Jing'er, you also know mother's purpose."
"I know, but I took the wrong path."
"As long as the goal is the same, it doesn't matter which path we take."
"Some roads are open, and some roads are...dead."
Mrs. Bai stood up and said, "As long as you know Jing'er is fine, I'm fine. As for how to achieve your goal, you don't need to worry about it."
Bai Jing looked at her mother sadly.
"Mom, you're just like that guy. You're paranoid."
Mrs. Bai shook her head: "Perhaps we are not the ones who are paranoid. Let's wait and see."
Bai Jing could only sigh, knowing that the thinking formed over the years could not be easily changed.
Especially my mother, who has suffered so much hardship and stimulation that her personality has become extreme and it is difficult to change her.
"Mom, Lin Feng and Jing'er are...a family. You can't hurt him."
Madam Bai sneered and said, "In this world, I only recognize you as my daughter. I don't trust anyone else."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out without waiting for Bai Jing to speak.
"I'll leave the jade token to you as a keepsake. Tell Lin Feng to take care of himself."
After saying that, he pushed the door open and walked out.
