Chapter 460: Bai Ko is attacked
"You're mad at me!" Shi Tianmin didn't want to waste time with his sister anymore, so he turned around and wanted to find his parents.
"It's useless to look for my father, my order has been given, my father and mother will reprimand me at most, don't think I will withdraw it."
"Do you really think you're doing the right thing?"
"How not? Gu Yun's side is clean, there is not even a room, and now under the auspices of Bai Ko, the old girl who has reached the age is married, it can be seen that she has been firmly guarding Gu Yun's bed, not to remove her, brother, how can you have the opportunity to take Gu Yun to see the gentle township and send our trained girl to his bed? β
"So you hit this idea?!"
"Brother, sister, I am thinking about you wholeheartedly, only by getting rid of Bai Ko can I open a hole around Gu Yun, I will do bad things, and good people belong to my brother, so don't do bad things for me."
"I heard that Bai Ko follows people around him as long as he goes out."
"She's in charge, what's so strange about having an entourage when she goes out, even if the guards follow, the main street is full of people, and it is impossible for the entourage to stick to Bai Ko's body, as long as they are distracted, my people will seize the opportunity to take Bai Ko's life, snatch her property and pretend to rob and kill."
"Do you have to kill her at this point?"
"The order has been given, and the people have been sent out, Bai Ko won't live for a few days, my brother should stop caring about her life and death, and concentrate on thinking about how to cage Gu Yun."
"Gu Yun has lost the most important Bai Ko, I don't know how he will react, you are relaxed."
"What can be the reaction? Bai Ko is an official maid, if he dies, he will die, and people die like lights going out, how else can he make trouble? If his wife died like this, he should make a big fuss, but it was an official who died, and he would at most lose his temper at home behind closed doors, and if he did this outside, he would definitely be laughed at. β
"He doesn't need to make trouble, he will ask for mercy and forgiveness for the Bai family."
"Then let him go to Ben, I'm still waiting for En's permission, otherwise how can I know where their Bai family is now? It's said that it's exile and hard labor, after so many years, who knows if they would have died of hard labor a long time ago, and if they died early, it would have saved me the rest of the matter. β
"You're calculating."
"If Bai Ko were my person, I would trust her in everything like Gu Yun, but it's a pity that she blocked my way, I couldn't get around her by all means, if she wasn't how good the Bai family was, when I married Gu Yun, I would also use her as a confidant, and her housekeeper could be used in the hands of any master, but her surname was Bai, and she was so capable and dazzling, in the future, my brother will have more dealings with Gu Yun, and she is a close service, once she finds out how dangerous it is for us?"
"How do you know that what hasn't happened in the future is going to be bad for us?"
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, brother, I don't need to say more, the order has been given, I won't withdraw people, she made such a big mess for us, and I have been merciful to live until now, if you want to blame her for that Ye Junting, the prince is still her cousin, she didn't betray them without hesitation at all."
After Shi Tianqi finished saying what she was going to say, she turned around and left, completely ignoring her brother Tianmin stomping his feet behind her.
Bai Ko didn't go out much in the next few days, and the business of the tea room was to send the girl directly to cook, and she took care of the housework in the house, until the bookstore sent her a brand new list of goods catalog, and gave it to Gu Yun.
It is still in the form of an album, and the painter is asked to take a picture of the real thing, and then hand it over to the Wanshu Workshop to engrave it out as it is, so it is an album, which is also relatively thick, brightly colored, and clearly marked with a price.
The eldest lady repaired a book, and sent it to the palace together with this atlas to show the queen's mother.
Of course, Bai Ko not only engraved this list of goods, but also placed the rest in the store pΓΉ, allowing people to spend money to buy it, and those who are willing to buy this are naturally other peers, so that it is easy to place orders in the future.
Two days later, the eldest lady received a reply from the queen's mother, praised Gu Yun's words and letters, and attached a list, as long as two sets of tea sets and a few pieces of bathing soap, the total value was less than a hundred taels of silver, last time the lord of Jingyun bought too much hand sanitizer, and gave half of it to his grandparents, and he had to use it up until next year.
The designated items were quickly packed into a congratulatory gift prepared by the eldest lady, and dressed up early in the morning on the queen's birthday.
Bai Ko, who hadn't gone out for several days, also changed her clothes and walked around the street after finishing her routine, first going to Songnantang to buy some medicine for mosquito bites, and by the way, settling last month's medical expenses.
Although the doctor is dedicated, it is just that their mother and daughter have been in deficit for so many years, and they are not well recuperated in a while, especially Hong'er, the child, she was in her mother's womb when the Bai family had an accident, Bai Rui's bad spirit naturally affected the development of the fetus, and her father died of illness shortly after birth, and Hong'er, who was still an infant baby, was swept out of the house with her mother, congenital deficiency and acquired disorder, and it took more time to adjust.
Out of Songnantang, Bai Ko went to see the production of the workshop, and finally turned around and went to the shop, the main street was bustling with people, and from time to time there were hurried pedestrians between Bai Ko and the guards, or they had to avoid the oncoming carriages and horses.
As he walked, Bai Ko saw a small stall selling needlework on the side of the street, and thought that he was about to buy a few colored threads, so he stepped forward to choose.
The people crowded in front of this stall were all little girls and daughters-in-law, and the guards couldn't get too close, so they stood a few steps away and waited.
Bai Ko picked out several balls of colored threads, calculated the total price, and when he reached out to take out his bag and take the money, his body stiffened suddenly, and he quickly turned his head and glared at a plain-looking woman standing on the back of his right, the instinct that she had practiced martial arts for almost a year, let her hold the wrist of the other party stabbed on her waist with both hands, and prevent the other party from pulling out the knife and escaping.
The other party was also decisive, knowing that this mission failed, the guards of the Yeguo Mansion were on the side, once she relieved herself and shouted that she would suffer, so she immediately raised her free other hand and hit Bai Ko on the left shoulder, Bai Ko snorted and took a step back, hitting the person next to him, causing an exclamation.
Taking advantage of this chaotic gap, the woman quickly disappeared into the crowd on the street, but Bai Ko fell limply to the ground, causing the girls and daughters-in-law to scream in panic and shout, "Murder!" Killed! β
The guards suddenly saw that something was happening here, and they broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly rushed over to check Bai Ko's situation.
A dagger was not inserted into Bai Ko's full leather satchel, and a strap of the leather bag was cut in half, leaving only a piece of skin attached, and the dagger was inserted directly from the front of the leather bag flap, Bai Ko held the handle of the dagger, his expression was indifferent, his breathing was steady, and he didn't see blood on her body for the time being.
