Chapter 84: The Bai Family
Lu Li didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
Since Chengdu Mansion heard the news of his father and mother, he decided to come to Xingyuan, and everything he encountered was bad. Drunk and messed away Zhao Zhu, the boat went to the shore and met the funeral procession, and when Bai Mingtao died in Xingyuan, he finally got into the door, and Mrs. Bai suffered an accident, as if God intended to fix him.
He is ready to fight a tough battle, even if the twists and turns are complicated, he has to slowly plan and advance, but he didn't expect to save Mrs. Bai by chance, and he won Bai Xu's trust!
With joy in his heart, Lu Li subconsciously looked at Shen Wansha. This little friend has paid a lot for him along the way, and he finally looks at the opportunity!
Shen Wansha also winked at Lu Li with his small fist, and his clear eyes were full of surprises that could not be concealed: There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, the willows and flowers are bright and another village, Xiao Oak, the opportunity is here, hurry up!
Uh, that doesn't seem to be what you said? Shen Wansha scratched his head, forget it, he doesn't need scientific research, he just likes to read crooked books, and he can't remember the battle clearly, just do it mean this! Shen Wansha's eyes rolled, and he stood beside Lu Li with his hands stern. The words in his heart don't need to be spoken, he just maintains a tall image that is mysterious and noble and full of thousands of dollars that everyone admires and admires.
Lu Li turned his gaze back, chuckled and nodded at Bai Xu, "Lu will live up to his trust!" β
Lu Li and Shen Wansha looked at each other quite briefly, only occasionally their eyes collided, and almost no one noticed, except for Zhao Zhu.
Zhao Shu pressed his fingers against his palm, and pinched it with a click.
But after being separated for more than a month, I have no status at all! The little white-eyed wolf was the first to look at the kid surnamed Shen when he was surprised, and when his heart was full of joy! What's so good about the kid surnamed Shen, but with a few dollars, can he keep you safe? Can I protect you? Can something happen to help you clean up the mess? Whose brand are you out of the mix!
I was so happy to see myself just appear, but I forgot about it in a blink of an eye!
Zhao Zhusensen's gaze swept over Lu Li, and then scraped towards Shen Wansha.
Shen Wansha didn't have the heart to pay attention to Zhao Shu at all, he only felt that his little friend was so handsome, he could just shine! That confident smile, that little tiger tooth full of wisdom, and that indomitable momentum, obviously about the same age as himself, why is it so painful, I really want to take it home to raise!
Thinking about the cute appearance of dressing up Lu Li in gold and putting ten or eight gold collars on him, Shen Wansha felt that the picture was so beautiful, but it was a pity that Lu Li's aesthetics were poorly raised by his aunt surnamed Feng, and he definitely didn't like it, it was really embarrassing.
Lu Li seemed to notice Shen Wansha's gaze and quietly winked at him.
Shen Wansha frowned.
The interaction between the two teenagers is innocent and cute, and it is particularly harmonious!
Zhao Zhu's eyes were crazy, and he sneered in his heart, thinking about whether to lock the little white-eyed wolf with a heavy chain and lock it up, so that he only had himself in his eyes......
"No way!" When the atmosphere was just right, the tall fat woman suddenly interjected, "Brother Xu! People die for the greatest, and they are safe in the ground, your father's death has been said to be no problem, why are you so paranoid, and you are still bewitched by a boy of unknown origin! Your mother's heart is like this, your father is not buried for a long time, do you want the Bai family to be laughed at and not know filial piety! How do you arrange it at home like this! β
"Aunt be careful! My father's death was miserable, my mother was killed for no reason, and my aunt was temporarily in charge of the house, but this house became a vegetable garden, allowing thieves to come and go, if I don't find out the cause of my father's death and find out who harmed my mother, it will be a great unfilial piety! β
Bai Xu's eyes flashed slightly, and his voice was slower, "The eldest aunt just wants to share the family wealth left by my father." Although the uncle is the son of the sect, the Bai family has been separated, and all the family wealth in the house is earned by my father for my mother and brother, and has nothing to do with others. My father died, and my aunt really helped me with the funeral, and I am grateful in my heart, and I will not miss my aunt's thanks, but if my aunt deliberately prevents bad things, or has some bad intentions, and deceives my mother into being seriously ill and my brother is young, so that my father can't turn a blind eye, don't blame my nephew for being ruthless! β
The woman was still about to speak, but there was a sudden pain in her side ribs, as if she had been hit by something, her eyes were round and she couldn't speak, and her expression and movements were particularly like she had been caught by something.
She didn't speak, Bai Xu was the eldest son in the family, Bai Mingtao died, his words were naturally the biggest, Lu Li was entrusted by him, and it was logical to investigate the cause of Bai Mingtao's death.
Bai Xu sent all the inconsequential people out, and asked Cheng's mother to lead Lu Li and the three of them to another side room for a while, and when the doctor came to see Mrs. Bai's condition, prescribed a prescription and decocted the medicine, and then straightened out his clothes, ready to go to Lu Li.
At this time, Lu Li had already roughly understood the situation of Bai Mingtao's mansion from Cheng's mother's mouth.
The ancestors of the Bai family are the big clan in the river, and there are many clan branches, and Bai Mingtao's branch is a side lineage, because no one has been an official for several generations. Bai Mingtao has two older brothers, who were born to his father's original wife, and he and his sister were born from the stepfamily. Bai Mingtao is different from his two elder brothers, he was born smart, he didn't let his family worry about training, he studied all the way and became an official, and Bai's father was very relieved.
But this younger brother has become an official, and he is getting better and better day by day, but the brothers are still dealing with mud legs, and they marry an unconscious daughter-in-law, so there are many contradictions. Bai's father has a clear mind, and when he was alive, he advocated dividing the family for the three brothers, and because of this, Bai Mingtao was unrestrained all the way, and his official fortune was prosperous.
After Bai's father went, Bai Mingtao's eldest brother and sister-in-law tried every means to send their daughter to Bai Mingtao's house, under the pretext that he had his family upbringing to talk about relatives in the future, and often went to the door on the grounds of seeing his daughter, and moved his family to Xingyuan Mansion last year, trying to find ways to seek benefits.
Now that Bai Mingtao died unexpectedly, Bai Xu had just been admitted to Xiucai, and his career was delayed for at least three years because of filial piety, and he couldn't say what happened after that, Bai Mingtao's eldest brother and sister-in-law hit the idea on the Bai family's wealth, and always wanted to get a few points for themselves.
The tall fat woman who was making a fuss in Mrs. Bai's room just now was Bai Mingtao's sister-in-law Zhu. The guests in front were greeted by Bai Mingtao's eldest brother Bai Minghai and the housekeeper Guan Shan. Guan Shan has been with Bai Mingtao for seven years, and Bai Mingtao attaches great importance to it, and he helps with it inside and out, and he is very loyal.
Bai Xu is Bai Mingtao's eldest son, and the five-year-old boy standing in the mourning hall is his younger brother Bai Yu, both of whom are born to Mrs. Bai. Mrs. Bai is two years older than Bai Mingtao, she accidentally lost two children when she was young, and her health has been bad.
Bai Mingtao also has a concubine, which was specially accepted for him by his wife and no children, this concubine surnamed Fang, beautiful appearance, is a calculating character, and has lost a formed male fetus because of his own hypocrisy, and the reason is not planted on Mrs. Bai's head, and the two are very discordant. Aunt Fang gave birth to two daughters and a son, a daughter Xu Duo, fifteen years old, a Xu Guo ten years old, the son was born in the winter of last year, and now it is less than a week, Bai Mingtao named Xu Rang.
Because Xu Rang was too young, only the two brothers of Bai Xu and Bai Yu wore filial piety in front of them, Xu Duo Xu Guo and Xu Fang, the daughter of Bai Minghai who lived in Bai Mingtao's house, knelt in the inner hall.
Lu Li listened quietly, and did not forget to observe Cheng's mother's expression. Seeing that the resentment in her eyes was very obvious when she talked about Aunt Fang, she asked, "This Aunt Fang...... But it's not easy to get along? β
"It's not easy to get along, it's a headache! Except for her eldest daughter, the two children were obtained by scheming and calculating the old man to get drunk, if it weren't for her sake's sake, the lord would not have been able to tolerate her! Cheng's mother's eyes lit up, "Especially after the Zhu family came over frequently, they actually talked to her specially, and the two of them were always muttering in secret." Madame's health has been a little bad in the past two years, so the master divided some things for Aunt Fang, so that she should not be so idle, who knows that she doesn't care about things, and she will take care of something as soon as she manages it! β
Cheng's mother hated it a little, Lu Li knew that she would say it if she didn't ask, so she waited quietly, and sure enough, Cheng's mother bit her lip when she saw that no one was accosted, "On the day of the master's accident, the carriage was arranged by Aunt Fang!" She must have killed the master, sir, you have to find out! β
Lu Li ignored Cheng's mother's excitement and only asked, "The travel in the house is under Aunt Fang's care?" β
"The master only asked her to deal with some trivial matters, it was she who volunteered to take care of the stable, and the Zhu family had a strange tone, so the master agreed, who knew that it would ......" Cheng's mother's eyes were slightly dark.
Lu Li thought for a while, "Now there is no evidence, I can't just listen to your words and make a judgment, whether Lord Bai's death was an accident or not, who harmed Mrs. Bai, I will try to find out, and please rest assured that my mother is here." β
Cheng's mother was slightly resistant to him before, but she was also loyal to the Lord, after seeing his ability to bring the dead back to life, her eyes became very awe-inspiring, she spoke very sincerely, and she had to answer any questions, and her desire to find out the murderer was very strong. Lu Li didn't want to embarrass the loyal servant, and his attitude was very gentle, "It's just that Mrs. Bai has encountered something strange, some people want to kill people without knowing it, Mrs. Bai either knows what is selfish, or she is blocking other people's way, and the incident may happen in these days." Mrs. can't say anything now, Mother Cheng is serving Mrs. closely, if she can think of what β‘β‘ best. β
Cheng's mother's eyes were red, and she quietly wiped away her tears, "The old slave has grown up so old that he can't stand things for a while, and he can't think of anything for a while, but the old slave will definitely think about it carefully, don't worry, sir." β
Lu Li nodded, "The purpose of the person who started the attack has not been accomplished, I'm afraid there will still be actions, the safety of the lady is the most important, the mother must cheer up and serve carefully." β
Cheng's mother put down the handkerchief in her hand, and her wrinkled eyes were full of fighting spirit, "Sir, don't worry, from today onwards, the old slave will not leave Mrs. One step!" β
β¦β¦
The two of them talked about Kashiwa again. Cheng's mother was very surprised, Lu Li asked about things that didn't matter, such as manpower arrangements, rotation time, who was responsible, what quarrels the female relatives in the family had recently, who won and who lost, etc., the guests could be unusual, trivial and complicated, and so on. Although Cheng's mother didn't understand, she also told the truth that she really hoped that Lu Li could find out the results as much as possible.
The time passed quickly, and when Shen Wansha picked up the fourth cup of tea, and Zhao Zhu's eyes were about to pop out, Bai Xu came.
As soon as you come, you will make a big salute, "Mr. Lao has been waiting for a long time, I am really ashamed, please do not blame." β
Lu Li looked at the young man in front of him, the same age as himself, after experiencing such storms, his eyes were clear and his expression was firm, he was a good boy with a heart, "There are a lot of things in the house, how can I mind, but you should pay attention to your body, and you have to carry the affairs of the family." β
He lifted the man up.
Bai Xu's voice was a little choked, "My father died tragically, my mother was killed, and my husband took the initiative to help, wanting to make my father blind, and my mother comforted, such a great favor is difficult to repay in this life...... I know that gold and silver are not easy to repay in case, but now I can only take out these mundane things, if the gentleman does not dislike it......" he handed over a box, "and ask the gentleman to accept it." β
The young man's expression was a little uneasy, and his eyes were still a little embarrassed, probably because he really felt that the vulgar things were not worthy of him, but he had no long things, and he felt uneasy about not paying anything, and maybe he was a little worried that he would not be able to investigate the case wholeheartedly......
In this black lacquer box, I am afraid that all the tickets are silver.
Lu Li sighed lightly, took the box, and reassured the young man, "You and my father are friends, we don't have to be so angry." It's just that now is not the time to talk about old things, so you can take me to see Kashiwa-sama's body first. β
"Yes," Bai Xu wanted to know about his father and Lu Li's father, but he also knew that the time was wrong, Lu Li was a fake, and the investigation of the case had to be autopsied first, although it disturbed his father's sleep, but it only took a little time, and his father should be able to forgive. He turned around and wiped away his tears, leading the way, "Brother Lu, pleaseβ"
