Chapter 77: Midori is dead
The dust settled, and the Lu family was punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall all night because of lax discipline, and thinking about it behind closed doors for another month, which was already the lightest punishment.
Bai Gaoxuan lost face in the school, Wenhua College originally wanted him to drop out, Bai Shizu pleaded in every possible way, saying that the subordinates in the family were not angry with the master's punishment, and deliberately framed him, and spent nearly 10,000 taels of silver to settle the matter, and did not let Bai Gaoxuan become a student who was withdrawn from school, otherwise no one would be willing to accept which school he wanted to go to in the future.
It's just that in the end, this incident damaged his reputation, and the classmates who knew about it in the school were unwilling to get close to him, and they all got greeted by their families, saying that they were afraid that Bai Gaoxuan would bring their children badly.
Bai Gaoxuan said that he was suffering, and Bai Shizu helped him ask for half a month's leave, and Bai Shizu also had the heart to avoid the limelight, so he agreed, and only let Bai Gaoxuan think about it behind closed doors in his yard, and he was not allowed to make trouble again.
Afterwards, Mu Xinping found Jinlan Garden, and said to Bai Muhibi with an unwilling face: "Jin'er, it's really annoying, that mother-in-law is a scapegoat, how can you let the Lu family go like this, she hurts you again and again, aren't you afraid that she will use any more tricks?"
Knowing that it was provocative, Bai Mu Hibiscus did not dismantle it, but sighed deeply and said sadly: "Aunt Cousin, what can Jin'er do? It is not easy to escape this catastrophe, the mother is favored by the father, and the father is unwilling to punish her, how can I, as a daughter, say it? Hey...... If you want to blame her, you can only blame her father for favoring her, who called her her father's heart!"
When Mu Xinping heard this, her heart was like pouring a jar of vinegar, she pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "Hmph, the Lu family is too much, relying on himself to be favored, he has repeatedly harmed you and Chen'er, even I can't see it, why is my cousin so confused!"
"Aunt cousin, don't say it, beware of the wall has ears! This can't be helped, she has been married to her father for ten years, and she has a deep relationship, as long as her father still has affection for her, even if she is detained today, she will have a way to come out in the future, in the final analysis, it is still in her father's attitude!"
Mu Xinping thought about it carefully, and also understood the truth, secretly shook her hand, Fang glanced at Bai Hibiscus with pity, and said, "Poor one, don't worry, the Lu family doesn't want to be proud forever!"
Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled slightly, looked at Mu Xinping, and said, "Aunt Cousin, Jin'er found out that you were so good-looking, even I was stunned!"
Mu Xinping's face turned red when she said it, and she said angrily: "You girl, you are making fun of me again, what are you doing at this time!"
"My father is the most pitiful person, how can I not be happy to have a beautiful woman like my cousin and aunt?
Mu Xinping touched her face unconsciously, and suddenly as if she had noticed something, her face was red and about to burn, and said: "You bad girl, make me happy again, what's the use of being good-looking, he still has a little more affection for the Lu family!"
"It's a little more for her now, it's hard to guarantee that it won't be more for you in the future, everything depends on Aunt Cousin's ability, Jin'er believes in her own vision, and she also believes in Aunt Cousin's ability!" Bai Muhibiscus patted Mu Xinping's hand and helped her comb her messy hair on her sideburns.
Mu Xinping nodded, at this moment she deeply admired this girl who was only thirteen years old in front of her, her forbearance and patience are really incomparable to ordinary people, after so many times of persecution, she can still endure it patiently, it is really not easy.
Mu Xinping knows that she must now envelop Bai Hibiscus, this is a big help for her in the Bai family, Bai Hibiscus is not like Mrs. Bai, she will get married in a few years, if she can marry Gaomen in the future, and she has a good relationship with her, it will also have a lot of benefits.
Old Madam Bai is her backer, but it is also her hindrance, because that aunt just wants to use herself to control the Bai family, and she, Mu Xinping, is just a chess piece in the hands of Old Madam Bai.
Thinking of this truth, Mu Xinping's smile at Bai Mujian became softer and softer, took her hand, and said, "Good Jin'er, you have suffered so many grievances, if one day, I can help you, I will definitely get it back for you!"
This sentence is the promise of the formal alliance, how could Bai Mu Hibiscus not understand, but just laughed, and said: "Thank you, Aunt Cousin, Jin'er only hopes that you can be safe and happy, the Lu family is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you sit in the position of a flat wife, you are the first target she has to deal with, be careful!"
If you want to form an alliance with her now, it's too early, she doesn't have any real skills, how could she Bai Mu Hibiscus put her chips on her! Lu She has a way to deal with it, Mu Xinping is just to divert the attention of Lu and Old Madam Bai, as for what effect it can play, it is only a side benefit!
As soon as Mu Xinping heard her reminder, she also beat a drum in her heart, Lu's methods of dealing with Bai Hibiscus these times can not be described as unclever, nor can it be said that they are not ruthless, if it is put on her? She couldn't help but shudder, and there was a fear rising from the bottom of her heart.
So I became more and more in awe of Bai Hibiscus, I can be safe and sound under such clever and vicious means, and I can still make the Lu family deflated one after another, this little girl in front of me is really unfathomable, can this really be done by a thirteen-year-old girl?
Mu Xinping was full of doubts and admiration, looking at Bai Hibiscus with eyes that were not as casual as before, Bai Hibiscus still smiled faintly, and said as if unintentionally: "Aunt Cousin, you are going to get married a year ago, you have to take good care of yourself these days!"
Mu Xinping chuckled in her heart, looked at Bai Hibiscus, and seemed to ask her something, Bai Hibiscus shook her head and stopped talking.
Mu Xinping thought that she was reminding herself that the Lu family would deal with her, so she was even more grateful to Bai Mu Hibiscus, but she also hated the Lu family a little more, this vicious woman, if she was allowed to sit in the main room all the time, even if she had no intention of competing for favor, she was afraid that she would be killed by her!
Bai Mujian chatted with Mu Xinping for a while, but seeing her restless appearance, she could only give up, and secretly said in her heart, although Mu Xinping was scheming, but in the end she was still a little tender, if she hadn't reminded her earlier, I was afraid that she would get carried away because of Bai Shizu's favor for a while, and it would be a pity to be easily cooked by the Lu family when the time came!
After Mu Xinping left, the mandarin duck came back from outside, with an unpredictable smile on his face, and the magpie saw this, and said suspiciously: "Sister mandarin duck, why are you laughing so terrible?"
The mandarin duck glanced at her, and then whispered to Bai Muhibiscus: "Miss, it has been done according to your instructions!
Bai Mujin nodded and said, "I don't have to worry about your errands, okay, it's not too early, invite Chen'er over for dinner together, today Mama Rui specially cooked a few specialty dishes herself!"
Seeing them like this, the magpie became even more anxious, and hurriedly asked the mandarin duck quietly, "What are you going to do?" Why didn't you tell me?"
"Tell you, you unobstructed mouth, I'm afraid that if you're not careful, you'll miss it!" said the mandarin duck with a smile.
The magpie pouted and said unconvinced: "I won't, didn't I see the little green ghost's sneaky appearance last time, and I discovered Madame's trick, and then didn't let them succeed?"
"Yes, you have the most credit, don't worry, I'll tell you about this later, you just wait to see a good show!"
The more this is the case, the more the magpie's heart is tickled like being scratched by a cat, but knowing the rules of the white hibiscus, she can only endure the things that are not allowed to ask, but she thinks that the mandarin duck must have done something, and the lady must be unlucky!
After dinner, the mandarin duck insisted on persuading Bai Mujin to go for a walk, the magpie saw the mandarin duck's expression, it must be a good show, and also coaxed, Rui Mama saw the two girls like this, so she frowned, and said, "You two are so breathless, it's not good!"
The mandarin duck said embarrassedly: "It's the first time I've done such a thing, and I'm a little anxious, I don't know if I can do it!"
Bai Mujin smiled and said: "You girl, have you been taken by the magpie? Why have you become as naughty as her, since you want to watch the play, then let's go together!"
"Hey......" The mandarin duck hurriedly responded.
Out of the Hibiscus Garden, Bai Mu Hibiscus and his entourage went to the garden of Ningguo Mansion, this place has the best scenery, pavilions and pavilions, surrounded by clear water, now it is the beginning of winter, the weather is very cold, but the pines and cypresses here are still full of greenery.
The bright moon hangs in the sky, so bright that you don't even need to hit the lantern to see the scenery of the garden clearly. Bai Hibiscus stayed here, and suddenly lost the mood to go to the play.
There are some things that she doesn't want, it's just that some people force people too much, and she can't help but fight back. The torture she suffered in her previous life made her heart as cold and hard as a stone.
In the direction of the firewood room, there was a sudden exclamation, "Help, the second young master has killed someone, help......"
A girl's voice resounded in the backyard of the Ningguo Mansion in the quiet night, shattering all the silence. A hint of joy flashed in the mandarin duck's eyes.
The magpie suddenly understood something, but she was even more confused, and she asked quietly, "Sister Mandarin Duck, is it you?"
"Shhhh
After a while, the maid ran in the direction of Tang Liyuan, and while running, she kept calling for help, and behind her were two people chasing.
"Help...... Old lady, help......" Under the moonlight, a little maid in a light blue dress ran wildly.
Bai Mujin said to Mama Rui: "Let's go back, it's not very good-looking!"
"Yes, master!" Mama Rui opened the way in front and led Bai Mu Hibiscus to Jinlan Garden, some things, as long as you know the beginning, you have already seen the end.
On the second day, the news that Xiao Lu was strangled to death by Bai Gaoxuan spread all over the Ningguo Mansion, and the old lady Bai was furious, beat him for thirty boards, locked him in the ancestral hall, and was not allowed to come out for half a year.
The Lu family begged hard, and there was no way to stop it, because Bai Shizu also had a big fire, saying that the New Year was approaching, and the house was going to do happy events again, and he couldn't see blood, and now Bai Gaoxuan was desperate to strangle a girl to death, didn't this deliberately cast a shadow on the Bai family?
When Bai Mujian went to Tangli Garden to ask for peace as usual, Old Madam Bai's face was also very ugly, and she seemed to be still angry about Bai Gaoxuan's affairs.
Bai Muhibiscus comforted obediently: "Grandmother, why did you get so angry, Brother Xuan is not sensible, and my father kept the life of that slave, that is, he was afraid of colliding with the happy event, why did he still insist on killing people? Is there any reason for this?"
Old Madam Bai snorted coldly and cursed: "This little beast who has done evil has repeatedly said that Xiao Lu betrayed him, helped stuff the book into his book bag, and secretly went to kill people, hey...... It's really a sin! But this matter was seen by Xiaolu's sister Xiaolan, and he still wanted to kill people, so Xiaolan screamed all the way to Tangli Garden!"
As if frightened, Bai Mujian covered his mouth and widened his eyes before he spoke: "There is such a thing? When did Brother Xuan become so vicious? He is a ten-year-old child, and he dares to kill people, it is really ......"
When Mrs. Bai heard this, she became even more angry, and said angrily: "It must have been instigated by the Lu family's cheap ren, who taught a good child to be so unscrupulous, and ruthless, hey...... If it weren't for a sum of money from the house that sealed Xiaolu's family, I was afraid that if this matter would spread, the evil obstacle would have to bear the notoriety for the rest of his life, let alone being an official in the future, I am afraid that he would not even be able to say a good family affair!"
Bai Mujin didn't answer again, but comforted: "Grandmother, don't be angry, just take care of the matter!"
"Why don't you tell me not to be angry, the Lu family is becoming more and more ignorant, first called a daughter to teach badly, and now even her son has taught her badly, if this continues, can my Bai family's descendants still have a good one......?
Bai Mujin smiled slightly, and said: "Grandmother, what is this, when your cousin and aunt pass the door, you will find a way to let her take care of the housework, and teach your younger siblings well, Chen'er, you don't have to worry, there is already news from your grandfather, take him to see Mr. Dongfang in three days, with Chen'er's intelligence, you will definitely be able to get what you want, as long as Chen'er has a chance, are you afraid that there will be no successor to the Guogong Mansion?"
When Mrs. Bai heard the news, she calmed down her anger, patted Bai Mujian's hand with some relief, and said: "It's still your sister and brother who are sensible, and sure enough, it is a child born by a concubine, and she is born with a good appearance, and Chen'er is promising, so I can rest assured!"
Bai Mujin smiled humbly: "Everything is still taught by grandmother!"
Old Madam Bai was naturally happy when she heard this, and said, "I will go to see Mr. Dongfang in three days, can you make Chen'er ready?
"Grandmother, don't worry, Jin'er is ready, and I will accompany him in three days, and I won't let Chen'er make a mistake!" Bai Mu Hibiscus replied.
Mrs. Bai only relieved her mind when she heard this, Bai Mujian has been dealing with the world these days, and she also sees it in her eyes, she is very thoughtful and generous, but she doesn't need to worry.
