Bai Zonglin was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, and he didn't know whether he was shocked or angry for a while, but the footsteps towards Huixin Courtyard did not stop.

It wasn't until he entered the back room and looked at the Zhao family lying on the bed that Bai Zonglin was still lucky in his heart, but after thinking about it, if those things were taken away by others, the consequences would be even more unimaginable, and there would be many contradictions for a while.

Aunt Zhao was dressed and lying quietly on the bed, and even put on makeup on her face. But she had a miscarriage first, and she didn't do a good job in the small month, and she was even more worried all day long, and at this moment she was haggard and showed a little bit of the old state that she should have at this age, far less charming and moving than before.

Bai Zonglin looked at the familiar and unfamiliar Zhao clan with mixed feelings in his heart, but he sensed something from her overly calm look, and his face couldn't help but sink.

"You made the soup that was sent to my study last night?"

Aunt Zhao looked fixedly at the man in front of her who she had relied on for more than 20 years, and suddenly realized that she could no longer find the original shadow from him, and the corners of her mouth hooked a mocking arc.

"It's just a casual remark to make the old man happy. The concubine is not good at cooking, and now she is not feeling well, and she doesn't have that thought, so the master is still serious. ”

Bai Zonglin was speechless for a while, and Aunt Zhao said quietly: "But the medicine in the soup is indeed under the concubine's own hands, and the things in the dark are also taken away by the concubine's own hands, and no one else knows about it, don't worry, master." ”

Bai Zonglin was nervous when he heard this, and asked, "Where is the thing now?" ”

Aunt Zhao sneered: "The concubine knows that the master will come as soon as he wakes up, so naturally he will not stay by his side." The concubine took advantage of the night to hand over the things to a trusted person and asked her to keep them for the concubine for a few days. Don't worry, the lord is timid, and the concubine has instructed her, but she doesn't dare to open it to see. ”

Bai Zonglin looked at the woman on the bed for a moment, and a chill surged in his heart.

"Do you know what you're doing? What exactly do you want to do? ”

Aunt Zhao also smiled, looked at him coldly and said, "What does the concubine want, do you really not know?" As long as Sheng Tian can come back safe and sound, those things will naturally return to the master's hands completely. ”

Bai Zonglin trembled angrily, pointed at Aunt Zhao and scolded: "You, you! I've treated you well for so many years, and you actually threatened me for a beast! ”

Aunt Zhao also shouted: "Sheng Tian is my younger brother, and he is the only incense of our Zhao family!" Now that the lord has the leisure to blame the concubine, it is better to beg Master Song. Sheng Tian only has three days left, if Sheng Tian is beheaded, the things in the old man's dark will be sent to Dali Temple, and then the terrifying old man will be unable to protect himself. ”

Bai Zonglin's body shook, and he looked at Aunt Zhao's eyes and wanted to strangle her. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask you one last time, where the hell is the thing?" ”

Seeing that Aunt Zhao had a cold face and didn't speak, Bai Zonglin closed his eyes, and there was endless tiredness in his voice.

"You even did this kind of thing in order to save Zhao Shengtian, didn't you think about your future and Yu'er?"

Aunt Zhao's expression froze, but she still said with a cold face: "Anyway, the concubine body is now a broken flower, how can it be compared to the two pregnant new aunts, rather than being disgusted by the master and being abused by everyone, it is better to give Sheng Tian a different way of life."

As for Yu'er, although she came out of the belly of the concubine, she is not angry, otherwise the concubine would not be in such an isolated and helpless situation as she is now. Anyway, she is the master's own flesh and blood, and she is at the disposal of the master. ”

Bai Zonglin took a few angry steps forward and clamped Aunt Zhao's neck, his expression a little more ruthless and panicked.

"Do you know what's in that box? If those things leak out, even if the Bai family fills them in, it will not be enough, I am afraid that the entire capital will have to move, and you and I will die without a whole corpse, and it will also affect relatives! ”

Seeing Aunt Zhao's panicked face, Bai Zonglin softened his voice again and said, "I have been in love with you and me for many years, as long as you return the things quickly, I will treat it as if nothing has happened." ”

Aunt Zhao has been by Bai Zonglin's side for more than 20 years, and she has never seen him, and now she is frightened, knowing that what he said must be true. But at this point, she had no way out, so she could only calm herself and said: "Since the contents of the box are so important, it must be worth exchanging Sheng Tian's life, the master doesn't have to scare the concubine here, let's hurry up and find a way." ”

Bai Zonglin didn't want her to be so stubborn, so he stared at her for a moment, and had to hate her and leave.

Ji Lingyun, who was watching the excitement on the windowsill, also left, but did not return to the Qiu Fan Courtyard, but walked out of the White Mansion along the dog hole in the back wall. He didn't want to get out of the dog hole and bumped into a pair of familiar boots, and he looked up to see the familiar face of Gu Fang.

Gu Fang twisted his face, slowly squatted down, and said tentatively: "Master? ”

Ji Lingyun, who was about to pretend to be unfamiliar and leave casually, stiffened, it was really no coincidence that the ancient Fang of the Heart Dao appeared here, I am afraid that the imperial brother was not worried about letting him guard it, it seems that he now knows his true identity.

Ji Lingyun was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his paw and beckoned to Gu Fang, who found some familiarity from that action and obediently leaned his head over.

Ji Lingyun put the paw with the soft flesh pad on Gu Fang's throat, and then his eyes flashed, and the sharp nails hidden in the meat pad suddenly stretched out, stabbing Gu Fang's throat. Ji Lingyun raised a pair of round cat's eyes, and Gu Fang saw the threat in them.

Ji Lingyun stared at the ancient formula with a vicious (self-righteous) look for a moment, the loss of the ancient formula had been by Ji Lingyun's side for many years, and he immediately realized: "Don't worry, master, the subordinates of Fang Cai will never leak out!" ”

Only then did Ji Lingyun put away his sharp nails, raised his head arrogantly, but continued to shake his claws at Gu Fang.

Gu Fang thought for a moment, took out the money bag from his arms and handed it over, but received a contemptuous look from Ji Lingyun. Gu Fang's mind flashed with inspiration, remembering the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before leaving, and hurriedly took out a paper inkstone and two small porcelain bottles from his arms.

He opened a porcelain bottle, poured a little black powder from it on the inkstone, poured water into synthetic ink from another porcelain bottle, and finally spread the paper in front of Ji Lingyun. Ji Lingyun sighed, stretched out his right front paw and dipped it in ink to write on the paper.

When Ji Lingyun returned to Qiufan Courtyard, it was lunchtime, Bai Yanran breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him, hugged it into her arms and nodded the tip of her nose and said, "You little thing is not small, but it just drove you out of bed, and ran out by yourself, and I am not afraid of being eaten." ”

Ji Lingyun rubbed her palm coquettishly, causing Bai Yanran to laugh coquettishly. Su Xin walked in with a bad face at this time, Bai Yanran smiled and asked, "Didn't you go to get lunch?" What's wrong with that? ”

Su Xin leaned closer and said: "Just now the slave maid met Uncle Wang who was driving the car in the kitchen, and I heard Uncle Wang say that the old man just went to the Song family, and he came out after sitting for less than a quarter of an hour, and the young master didn't come out to give it away, could it be ......?"

Song Shiyang has always respected this uncle who has been sending charcoal in the snow for many years, not to mention that the Bai family's funeral was all handled by Bai Zonglin and the Qi family. Bai Zonglin came to the door but only stayed for a quarter of an hour and no one came out to see him off, which had to make Bai Yanran suspicious of Bai Zonglin's intention to go to the Song family.

"Daddy shouldn't be so confused."

Su Xin pursed her lips and said: "The slave maid originally thought the same, but it was spread all over the house, saying that Aunt Zhao sent a soup to the study last night, and the master hurriedly went to Huixin Courtyard this morning, stayed in it for a while before coming out, and went to the Song Mansion after a while." ”

Bai Yanran intuitively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.

"Even the emperor has asked about this matter, and Jing Zhaoyin has also decided the case, it is impossible for Daddy to risk such a big disapproval for Aunt Zhao."

Having said that, Bai Yanran was also faintly uneasy. Since her previous life, she knew that Aunt Zhao was not a simple woman, and in this life, even if she relied on the unpredictable prophet to catch her off guard many times, she was still able to turn danger into a resurrection again and again.

got up and wanted to go, Bai Yanran decided to explore the wind, and prepared to go to Zhaohe Courtyard to have a meal. I went to Zhaohe Courtyard but only my mother Qi had a meal alone, and after asking, I learned that Bai Zonglin didn't even ask Tang to invite him after he came back, but went straight to Evergreen Garden, and I didn't know what to say to my brother.

Bai Yanran probed her mother's tone, Qi really didn't know, but she didn't hear Bai Zonglin mention Aunt Zhao, and she didn't seem to be ready to lift her grounding, and she didn't look like she was moved by Aunt Zhao.

Accompanied her mother to lunch, and when she left the Zhaohe Courtyard, the leisurely smile on Bai Yanran's face disappeared, and her eyebrows were frowning and thinking about something. Looking at Bai Yanran's worried appearance, Ji Lingyun was a little distressed.

Su Xin knew the seriousness of the matter, so she waited obediently, and after a while, Bai Yanran said, "It seems that I can only go to the Song family." ”

The two families were only separated by one street, and after a while, they arrived at the Song Mansion, and when the porter saw Bai Yanran, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he respectfully welcomed people in.

"Is my cousin at home?"

The subordinate led Bai Yanran to Song Shiyang's courtyard, and said hesitantly: "The master is at home, but it may be ...... now."

Before his words could fall into the courtyard, Song Shiyang's cold voice came out from inside.

"Get out, don't step into the Song family again!"

Bai Yanran was stunned, Song Shiyang in her memory has always been a gentle and elegant gentleman, even if she is angry in her heart, she will not speak ill of her like this.

However, the next moment, a "cousin" mixed with crying made Bai Yanran suddenly understand, she stepped into the courtyard gate, and really saw Bai Yueyu kneeling on the ground at a glance.

Bai Yueyu cried so much that she didn't notice the person who came, and held the jade pendant in her hand and said with tears in her eyes: "Cousin, Zhao Shengtian, this wicked person should indeed be cut with a thousand knives, but Yu'er is innocent, no matter how angry you are, you can't ignore your aunt's last wishes." This jade pendant is a token given to me by my aunt, and my aunt promised to let Yu'er enter the house as a concubine, and my cousin can't be so unfilial! ”
