Chapter 31: The Blood Book Under the Lamp

"Mother knows, since you met that hundred miles of geese, you don't think about it, she is really a scourge, and my son is unconscious. Mrs. Qin hugged Qin Yibai, crying and breaking her liver and intestines.

"Since you refuse to wake up, okay, Weiniang will catch the hundred miles of geese and be your companion, if you die, Weiniang will break her body into pieces, and let her go to the underworld to accompany you. Madam Qin's face was hideous, and she had long lost her former elegance and generosity.

"Come on, ...... that hundred miles"

"Mother, please let her go......." The man on the bed woke up slowly.

Three days later, at dusk, it was still that street, Chen Mu and Crescent put away the chestnut stall and were about to go home, when they suddenly heard a commotion nearby, and the two couldn't hold back their curiosity and went to watch the fun.

I saw a group of young and strong beggars, surrounding an old beggar with a disability, while beating him together, while snatching most of the snow-white steamed buns in his hand, the old beggar curled up in the corner, unkempt, whimpering in his mouth, screaming miserably, his legs were also amputated from his knees, his appearance was very pitiful, causing frequent heated discussions among the people around.

Chen Mu turned around and bought a basket of hot steamed buns, squeezed into the crowd, put the basket on the ground, and was immediately robbed by a group of beggars.

The plain-clothed girl who was about to leave quietly was grabbed by a dirty old hand, and the girl looked back, the old beggar had tears in her eyes, and kept pointing to her mouth, as if there was something unspeakable.

Seeing this, the crescent moon was also quite shocked, and suddenly, she squatted down and carefully observed the dirty old man who was entangled with the young lady, wondering, why is this person so familiar?

"Wang ...... Steward Wang?" sat on the ground with a crescent moon, trembling with fright.

"......." Could it be that he is the old housekeeper who treats the wild geese as if he were his own?

"Ah, uh, hmm......." The old beggar lay on the ground, nodded desperately, but could not say a complete sentence, his tongue had already been cut off, those people made him disabled, thrown into the mountains and barren forests, but with his hands, little by little climbed out of the mountain, living on the streets of Yanjing, becoming a bullied old beggar, the sky has eyes, and finally let him meet Miss.

An hour later, they spent most of their savings, bought a simple donkey cart, and took Steward Wang back to the small courtyard.

In the middle of the night, the old butler, who was already asleep, suddenly woke up from the nightmare, he moved to the side of Chen Mu's bed little by little, let out a frightened cry, and then bit his finger and painted on the ground.

"Save the master, kill the wife, take the family property, and drive out the scum. Lighting the green lantern, the blood words on the ground were reflected in the eyes of Chen Mu and the crescent moon.

In the night light, Wang Cheng's eyes were monstrous hatred, and he accidentally lured the wolf into the room, and he saw with his own eyes that the eldest lady asked people to pour poison into the master's mouth, but the second master and the second lady sat idly by, and they should all go to hell.

"Steward Wang, why don't we report to the official?" Why don't you use the power of the government to punish these scumbags?

"It's useless, the prefect of Yanjing and the second master are old friends, and he will definitely favor the second master. Crescent Moon grimaced in frustration.

"Huh!" Steward Wang also nodded vigorously.

"You go and rest first, and tomorrow I will go to Baili Mansion to pick up the master back." "Since she occupies the body of Baili Yan, she can't sit idly by and ignore her family, the wind and rain are coming, so she can only head on and retreat.

Wang Cheng, who heard this, finally showed a relieved smile, the young lady has finally grown up, and she is no longer the frizzy little girl.

The second day is clear, Baili Mansion is busy, today is the second lady's birthday, everywhere is jubilant, many small businessmen send congratulatory gifts, Wu Miaoyu wears a festive body, Baili Cheng receives guests. Suddenly, the porter came to report that the former eldest lady was going to break into the house, which caused a boiling in the scene.

"I heard that my aunt is here to congratulate me on today's birthday banquet, and my aunt won't turn me away, right?" is still dressed in plain clothes, the girl only wears a high ponytail, indescribably refreshing and neat, and her voice is also crisp.

"Invite the geese in. Wu Miaoyu's eyes rolled around, she looked at the eldest lady sitting at the banquet, and smiled sarcastically, today she just wants to add a block to someone. Chen Mengyu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, but the hand holding the teacup tightened a little.

"On the occasion of today's wedding banquet, I want to ask the eldest lady for one thing, and I still need you to do a verification. Chen Mu walked into the courtyard and bowed to everyone present.

"Yan'er, don't worry, you are your sister-in-law's stepdaughter, the love between this mother and daughter is hard to give up, sister-in-law is so virtuous and virtuous, she will not refuse you." Wu Miaoyu, who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, continued to add fuel to the fire, and her face was also triumphant.

"Say it. Chen Meng's tone was light, in front of so many people, it was not easy for her to directly refute Baili Yan's request.

Only Bai Licheng's brows furrowed.

"I want to take my father to my side and do my filial piety. "Save people from the fire pit first, and then do the rest one by one.

"What did you say?" The teacup fell at his feet, and Chen Mengyu, who was shocked, suddenly stood up, Baili Yan took the wrong medicine.

"Niece, your father has kicked you out of the house, what filial piety do you have? In my opinion, it is important to live your own life, and don't make trouble for yourself. Baili Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to advise.

"The father is seriously ill, how can the daughter stay out of the matter?" Chen Mu argued.

"Your request is not excessive, but the old man's skin is delicate and tender, and he can't bear the slightest bit of suffering, and now that you are poor, how can you pay for the master's huge medical expenses?" Chen Mengyu quickly calmed down.

"I can make money. The girl's tone was firm.

"Sister-in-law, it's rare for Yan'er to have this filial piety, so you should follow her. Wu Miaoyu also began to add fuel to the fire, hum!

"Shut up!!" Baili Cheng glared at Wu Miaoyu fiercely.

The people at the table also talked a lot, in the past, they only heard how Baili Yan was a bastard, but today they saw that this bastard lady also has a filial and humble side, which is really rare.

"Okay, within a month, you give me 80,000 taels of silver, and you can carry your father out of the Baili Mansion. Chen Mengyu smiled coldly.

Even if the luxury restaurant with the best business in the Dayan Dynasty earns at most 8,000 taels of silver a month, the eldest lady's move makes it clear that it is difficult to be a hundred miles of geese, it seems that the deep love between mother and daughter is just an illusion, and everyone at the banquet suddenly realized.

"Sister-in-law......" Wu Miaoyu just wanted to interject, but was pinched by Baili Cheng.

There was silence in the courtyard, and after a silence for a while, the girl finally made up her mind.

"Okay, today is the ninth day of the first month of November, and on the ninth day of the next month, I will pick up people, but the eldest lady must write a promise note first, and you must also help to stamp a handprint, so as not to turn around and deny the account. Chen Mu took out paper and pen from his arms, as well as red clay, he had already prepared everything, but he still didn't expect the conditions of the eldest lady to be so harsh.

A few minutes later, after taking the fluttering letter of commitment into his arms, Chen Mu suddenly felt as if a thousand catties of burden were on his shoulders, and from then on, he could no longer escape the rights and wrongs of the Baili family.

In the evening of this day, Zuo Nanhao met Qin Qinglian on the street, and her flower messenger Wu Wangye, the couple was buying jasmine cream in a rouge shop.

The merry boy hiding in the corner of the street was quite heartbroken, but he remembered what Baili Yan said, chasing people is a strategy, you must not act rashly, the afterglow of her eyes, but suddenly with Qin Qinglian's maidservant, the maid is well-behaved, her name seems to be called Tsing Yi, he often asks her to invite Qinglian, because the two are quite familiar, Tsing Yi also seems to see him, looking back at him and smiling slightly.

Find a woman next to Qin Qinglian to start, this sentence suddenly lingered in the ears of the merry boy, isn't Tsing Yi the best candidate?

One thought becomes a demon, one thought becomes a Buddha, this hasty decision changed Zuo Nanhao's life, many years later, he recalled this meeting again, no longer remembered the appearance of the woman in white, no longer remembered the peerless appearance of the five princes, and never remembered the heartache at that time, only remembered the shallow smile of the well-behaved girl.

Early the next morning, a new guest was ushered in in the small courtyard - Zuo Xiquan.

He brought a cart of silk and rouge gouache, standing in the wind, handsome and elegant, the tips of his ears were dyed reddish, he had inquired, girls like these things, the first time to please the girl to marry, always a little uneasy.

"You.... You... You.... Haven't you gone to the wrong place?" the crescent moon looked at the young man at the door, and her tone was a little stammering.

"......" The man frowned, could it be that this maid was disgusting him?

"Crescent moon, who?" the girl's voice sounded in the courtyard, and it was a little lazy.

Hearing the familiar voice, Zuo Xiquan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he bypassed the maidservant girl and walked directly into the courtyard, taking a look at the sleepy-eyed Chen Mu.

"I'm here to visit you, and I've picked up some Yanjing specialties along the way. The man's tone was very sincere, and his eyes were very clear.

"....... early in the morning, please don't scare him, okay? Which play is the eldest son Zuo singing? The girl has goosebumps all over her body, and her mouth is also scared into an O-shape.

Zuo Xiquan frowned again, why was the expression of the woman opposite so frightened? After a while, a man and a woman argued for a long time, and in the end, the car gift was still turned away, looking at the closed courtyard door, Zuo Xiquan suddenly felt a little lost, and even the back of turning around was a little down.

Chen Mu also felt a little emotional, he was not a beauty, and his emotions were too extravagant for him.
