Chapter 192: The Key
In Baili Mengru's heart, Baili Mengru is like her protector.
Holding Baili Mengru's hand, Baili Xiang sighed and asked, "Auntie, I know you know a lot of things, can you tell me how my third brother died?" ”
Baili Xiao They didn't want to go into details, but Baili Aotian wanted to know, Baili Aotian was good, whether it was from the perspective of relatives or friends, Baili Aotian didn't want Baili Aotian to die in vain.
This question is very heavy, Baili Mengru sighed deeply: "Actually, Anzhen mixed with outsiders to come in, no one thought that something like that would happen, don't ask about the details, in fact, there is nothing to say, by the way, Xiang'er, I have something I have wanted to give you a long time ago." ”
After speaking, Baili Mengru stood up and walked to the back room.
Thyme was also helpless to see that everyone was reluctant to mention this matter.
When he came out again, Baili Mengru was holding a wooden box in his hand.
Hand the wooden box to Thyme, Thyme Mengru sighed and said: "This is what Thyme has ever dreamed of, I am old, and now I have children, I and your uncle have decided to take the children to live quietly, and I don't want to care about the disputes outside." ”
Baili Dream is like touching his stomach, with happiness on his face.
Thyme opened the box, looked at the fish-shaped golden key inside, and raised her head to look at Thyme Mengru in shock.
"Auntie, what do you mean by that?"
Baili Mengru smiled: "This thing was originally meant to be given to you, and the tradition of the Baili family is that this key should be given to the daughter, not to the son." I have a niece by my side, Bailiqin is not qualified enough, you are sensible and kind, you should give it to you as a matter of course, you put away the key, except for your father and your brother, no one should tell me, if outsiders know this, they will die. ”
In fact, Baili Mengru felt a little guilty, and it was not a good thing to hold this key in his hand. On the contrary, now she just wants to give herself a stable life.
Thyme hesitated. Do you want to accept this key or not.
She knew what the key represented, not just danger, but also wealth.
"But auntie, you handed it over to me like this, then you ......."
Thyme didn't let Thyme continue. Instead, he sighed, "I'm sure you can see that." I'm actually pretty selfish. I give you this key Actually, I also want to free myself, the Baili family should rise, otherwise people outside will forget us. I understand your father's actions, in fact, I figured out what happened to Bailili, this key is always very dangerous in my hand, I plan to leave here with your uncle, and leave after giving birth to a child, and live incognito in the future! ”
Thyme's decision shocked Thyme to the point that she couldn't do it.
At the beginning of Baili Mengru saying this, Baili Mengru thought that Baili Mengru stayed in Anzhen and lived in seclusion, but now when she heard Baili Mengru say that she clearly wanted to leave Anzhen, such a thing Baili Xiang really couldn't accept it.
"Auntie, why do you have to be like this sometimes, if you leave Anzhen, it may not be safe outside."
Glancing at the door, Baili Mengru gently stroked her stomach and said helplessly: "I also know this, but Anzhen is becoming more and more unpeaceful, I will leave with the child, at least the matter of the key on you will not be exposed, so that if outsiders want to spy on the wealth of the Baili family, they must find me first, and I have a way to make outsiders not find it, so you are safe." ”
Thyme was very moved, although Baili Mengru said that she was doing it for herself, she was actually thinking about her: "Auntie, I still want to ask, how much money does Baili's family have?" ”
The key needs two together to open the vault, Baili Xiao has one there, plus her one to open the treasure, Baili Xiao also knows that Baili Xiao is stable, and he will not take out the key unless he has to, so he doesn't know how long it will take to open the treasure.
With such a precious thing in his hand, anyone will be curious.
Baili Mengru shook his head: "I don't know the specific number, or in the early years, your father and I were curious about treasures, and we went in to take a look together, I can only say that even the emperor in the palace may not have seen so many treasures." ”
The surprise on Baili Xiang's face fell into Baili Mengru's eyes, and Baili Mengru continued: "I know you don't believe it, but this is the case, not to mention the wealth accumulated by the Baili family when they were in charge of the imperial power before, the wealth accumulated in the past three hundred years alone is a large amount. ”
Thyme nodded in understanding.
Baili Mengru continued: "You remember this matter, you can only let your father and your two brothers know, even if the people outside kill you, you can't say it." ”
This is the foundation of the Baili family, and Baili also understands which is more important.
Nodding, Thyme took out the key alone and put it in his arms, took off a jade bracelet on his wrist, and then put it in the box.
Thyme Mengru was very satisfied with Thyme's actions.
Baili Mengru was a little sleepy, and after saying a few words to Baili, he wanted to sleep, and Baili had to leave.
Out of the house, the carriage had stopped at the door, the coachman's head was low, Thyme just glanced at it, and wondered why the coachman lowered his head so low today? But without thinking about it, Thyme still got into the car.
The carriage walked slowly, and Thyme took advantage of this time to put the key into the space, and suddenly Thyme felt a little sleepy, leaning against the side wall and slowly closing her eyes.
When I woke up again, the carriage was still wobbly walking.
Thyme felt a little strange, it would only take a while to get from Thyme Mengru's house to the City Lord's Mansion, even if she didn't rest for a while, it was impossible for her to still drive now.
When I lifted the curtain, I saw that the carriage was already out of the city.
Thyme secretly screamed in her heart.
Holding the box tightly, Thyme took out the powder, there must be something wrong with the coachman, Thyme knew very well in her heart, no wonder the coachman had to keep his head down at the beginning.
Must have been afraid that she would recognize her.
Regardless of whether the coachman had a problem or not, Thyme didn't want to be caught, so he took the powder, and as soon as he lifted the curtain, Thyme gently patted the coachman's shoulder, and as soon as the coachman turned around, an unfamiliar face appeared in front of him, and Thyme sprinkled the powder on the coachman's face.
With a "boom", the coachman fell directly off the carriage.
Thyme picked up the leather whip and tightened the reins, turned the head of the carriage directly, and then returned to the city.
At this moment, Thyme was very happy, fortunately, when she came back, she learned the skills of driving a car with the driver.
It doesn't matter whether the coachman is dead or alive, Thyme, the most important thing now is to return to the city and find out who is the one who attacked her.
The box was thrown in the carriage, and the thyme sped all the way.
Fortunately, there was no danger back to the city.
Thyme is really a little tired of these people's tricks, every time it is hijacked, they don't dislike it, she is tired of it.
Angrily returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Thyme Xiang directly found Thyme Xiao.
Baili Xiaozi listened carefully to Thyme's words, frowned, and looked thoughtful.
"Xiang'er's father thinks that this matter must be committed by an acquaintance."
The secret sentinel in Anzhen has been cleaned up nine times out of ten, and there are not many people who can threaten them.
Hearing Baili Xiao say this, Baili Xiang didn't understand: "Dad, I suspect that these people are for the key." ”
"Keys?" Baili Xiao looked at Baili Xiao with some surprise, when he spoke just now, Baili Xiang just told Baili Xiao what happened after he came out of Baili Mengru's courtyard.
Thyme didn't say anything about the things at home in Baili Mengru before.
Bai Li Xiao seemed to think of something in his heart, but he was still unsure and asked in a low voice: "What is going on, you tell your father?" ”
Thyme looked serious, and vigilantly got up and closed the door of the study, then sat down and whispered, "Auntie gave me the key." ”
After listening to Thyme's words, Baili Xiao did not relax, but sighed and said, "Your aunt really did this, why did she suffer like this?" ”
Looking at Baili Xiao's regretful face, Thyme was very puzzled.
"What's wrong with Dad, can you tell me?"
The room was very quiet, and the expression on Bai Li Xiao's face was a little tangled, especially when he looked at Bai Lixiao, his face was full of tangled.
"Xiang'er Sometimes the more important the thing you hold in your hand, the heavier your responsibility, you take this key, then you can't easily leave Anzhen in the future, your aunt must leave Anzhen, I believe your aunt must tell you about what she is leaving!" Baili Xiao had reluctance on his face, and it could be seen that Bai Li Xiao was actually very unbearable.
Seeing thyme nodding his head to confirm his conjecture.
Bai Li Xiao continued: "Your aunt has also suffered for so many years, so if she wants to leave, she can leave, and Anzhen can't stay for long." ”
Sitting quietly on the chair, Thyme listened to Thyme's narration.
"It's good that you know the key to Xiang'er, don't say it in the future, my father is old, and the burden on my body will always be handed over to your two brothers, and the future will be yours."
The topic was a little heavy, and when Thyme came out of the study, her face was pale and a little decadent.
Baili Xiao said a lot of things to Thyme.
Back in his yard, Xiahou Yuchen was sitting in the courtyard reading a book, and his serious appearance made Thyme very pleased.
"Chen'er." Thyme walked to Xiahou Yuchen's side, and then sat next to Xiahou Yuchen.
Stretching out her hand, Thyme gently touched Xiahou Yuchen's head, and then said: "Chen'er Niang plans to start teaching you medical skills, and when you are a little older, Niang will send you to your master." ”
When it came to medical skills, Xiahou Yuchen was very energetic and said excitedly: "Mother, are you really willing to teach me medical skills?" My mother is really good, I will definitely study hard and be a useful person in the future. (To be continued......)
