Chapter 44: Good and Evil Are Rewarded
Ji Lingyun's heart moved, and he subconsciously looked up at Bai Yanran, and saw that her eyes were soft, as if she had a trace of affection, and she didn't feel a flutter.
Gu Fang was stunned, but he didn't expect Bai Yanran to ask this question, and subconsciously looked at Ji Lingyun in her arms, but saw Ji Lingyun looking up at Bai Yanran in a daze, and didn't notice anything else, so he had to answer: "Seeing that Miss Bai is worried, everything is fine with my master, but I am not in Beijing recently with important matters, and I will definitely bring Miss Bai's greetings when the prince comes back." ”
Bai Yanran frowned slightly, and then said as usual: "Then it's tiring." ”
The two are not familiar with each other, and these two sentences are already polite.
Bai Yanran hugged the cat and walked back, until she turned the corner, Su Xin looked back and saw that the tall figure was still looking at them, and couldn't help but shrink her neck in fright. She quickly followed her young lady, but found that Bai Yanran seemed to be preoccupied, and she almost tripped over the threshold when she entered the door.
Bai Yanran suddenly asked Ji Lingyun when she suddenly spoke, but she actually remembered the events of her previous life.
In his previous life, the emperor gave marriage to Ji Lingyun and the lord of Mingzhu County in the past few days, although Ji Lingyun was not very interested in Gu Yueyao and getting married, but he was called to the palace by the queen for three days, and finally had to respond with a headache.
But she clearly remembered that Ji Lingyun had not left the capital in her previous life, and she didn't know what had happened, Bai Yanran felt uneasy for no reason.
Bai Yanran stepped into the door and heard the sound of the carriage in front of the door. Brother Bai Boren hurriedly got off the carriage, his face couldn't hide his anxiety, and he almost didn't see Bai Yanran walking over.
"Where has my brother gone, why are you so unrelenting?"
Bai Boren came back to his senses suddenly, and when he saw that it was Bai Yanran, his frowning brows were slightly relaxed, and he reluctantly smiled: "It's okay, it's just that there are some trivial things in official business." By the way, Daddy is at home, right? ”
Bai Yanran's heart moved, and she replied: "Daddy is at home, but I don't know if it's in Huixin Courtyard or the study." ”
Bai Boren was stunned when he heard this, and then hurried to Huixin Courtyard, but he didn't see Bai Yanran behind him squinting his eyes slightly.
Bai Boren went to Huixin Courtyard and asked the doorkeeper, then turned his head and went to the study again, Bai Zonglin Guo was really anxiously pacing back and forth in the study. As soon as he saw Bai Boren coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it, have you found anything?" ”
Bai Boren's face was ugly, and he shook his head and said: "The Zhao family and his wife have been making trouble in front of the yamen for the past few days, and today is no exception, so they must not know about it." And I went to the inn where they stayed, and no one looked for them last night, so I guess the thing was not with them. ”
Bai Zonglin slapped the table angrily and was speechless for a while.
It turned out that after coming out of Huixin Courtyard this morning, Bai Zonglin thought about it again and again, knowing that Song Shiyang would never let go of Zhao Shengtian, the murderer of his mother, even if he showed his old face to intercede, it might not work, but it would make him suspicious.
So he understood that this road was impassable, so he could only stabilize the Zhao family first, and then find a way to get the things back first in the three-day period. After all, the Zhao family is just a deep lady, and she has no maiden background in Beijing, so it is not difficult to find out something.
He couldn't do anything about it, so he had to entrust his son Bai Boren with a heavy task to find someone. But I didn't want to work all morning but found nothing, the people around the Zhao family had checked them one by one, and now they have no clue.
After a moment of silence, Bai Zonglin looked up at his son and said in a deep voice: "If the East Window incident really happens, you must send the evidence of the crime to Dali Temple to show your innocence first, so as to protect the foundation of our Bai family." ”
Bai Boren raised his head suddenly, and his voice couldn't help but tremble a little.
"Father, what the hell is it? It makes you so jealous. ”
Bai Zonglin shook his head, as if he had aged a lot in an instant.
"There are some things that you still don't know, but remember, this matter is widely implicated, our Bai family is like a flat boat in the sea, the ups and downs are all out of your own control, you must find a way to get rid of the relationship and withdraw from it, and you must not be indecisive and ruin the ancestral foundation!"
Bai Boren was shocked by the desolation in his father's words, and only after a while did he say: "Things have not come to this point, father might as well start from the Zhao family again, after all, you have been in love for many years, if she knew the seriousness of the matter, she would not insist on going her own way." ”
Bai Zonglin sneered and said hatefully: "It's ridiculous that I never saw her sincerity before, but now she is so mad that she doesn't even care about her own daughter." What my father said was planning for the worst, you were right, if you really couldn't do it, you could only start with her. ”
Bai Boren was stunned, and he couldn't speak.
At this moment, a small servant was outside to report, and someone outside the road asked to see him, saying that there was something very important to return. The father and son were both stunned, and they thought of the lost things, although they felt that it was unlikely, but they couldn't help but feel lucky.
When I brought people in, I saw that he was a tall and thin young man who was cowering, and his facial features were upright, but his body was stiff and his eyes were evasive, and he looked like he couldn't get on the stage. But Bai Zonglin and Bai Boren, father and son, didn't pay too much attention to his appearance, but paid attention to the box in his arms.
Bai Boren had never seen the appearance of the box, but Bai Zonglin couldn't help but take a step forward, and said with surprise and joy: "This is ......"
The man shrunk his neck as if frightened, and then hurriedly presented the locked box to Bai Zonglin, and said softly: "Song Tian'an, the grass people, and his mother Meng Shi used to be on an errand in the house, and then left due to changes in the family. In the middle of last night, the old owner of the third watch's mother, the aunt Zhao in the house, suddenly came to visit.
Zhao entrusted this box to his mother, saying that if she took it in the future, he would quietly send the box to Dali Temple in three days. The grass people felt that this matter was inappropriate, so they came to return the thing, and the silver that the Zhao family had left for their mother was also returned. ”
Bai Zonglin took the box, and after taking a closer look at it, he made sure that the lock on it was not damaged, so he was relieved and nodded to Bai Boren. Bai Boren was young in the end, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and he also untied his money bag and gave it to Song Tianan.
"This matter is the aunt in the family because of jealousy out of nothing, thank you Song Gongzi for knowing right and wrong, otherwise it may cause a big disaster. These silver taels are not enough to express my gratitude in my heart, and I ask Song Gongzi to accept them. ”
Taking advantage of the efforts of the two of them, Bai Zonglin hurriedly opened the box quietly, and saw that the things inside were neatly and neatly, and only then did he really feel at ease. Song Tianan seemed to be moved when he saw Bai Boren's gesture so generous, and after refusing to welcome him, he finally accepted the silver twice, and both parties were very happy.
The father and son looked at the lost box in their hands, and they all broke out in a cold sweat behind their backs. Although it was a false alarm, Bai Zonglin finally made up his mind.
Three days later, Zhao Shengtian was beheaded in the vegetable market, and after listening to the return of the little servant he sent, Bai Zonglin went to Huixin Courtyard again. Aunt Zhao's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she blurted out: "Sheng Tian is fine?" ”
Bai Zonglin looked at her coldly, and said expressionlessly: "I have already found the things, Zhao Shengtian is now in a different place, your father was taken away for obstructing official business, I heard that your mother cried and fainted on the spot, and now I am afraid that she is still lying on the street." ”
Aunt Zhao's face became more and more pale with Bai Zonglin's words, and she was already bloodless when she heard it, and her eyes were full of brilliance.
Bai Zonglin looked at her fixedly and asked, "Zhao Clan, what else do you have to say now?" ”
Aunt Zhao slowly looked up at him, and said with a sad smile: "The concubine has nothing to say, and I don't regret doing it." Up to now, it is up to the master to kill or chop up. ”
Bai Zonglin looked at her for a moment, for a long time, turned to leave, walked to the door and said in a deep voice: "You pack up, tomorrow I will have someone send you and Yu'er to Zhuangzi, and you don't have to come back in the future." ”
Aunt Zhao stiffened suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "Yu'er is the master's biological daughter, does the master have to be so ruthless!" ”
Bai Zonglin turned his head suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "If I could have noticed your femme fatale earlier, and didn't keep Yu'er by your side, maybe she would be a good child." It's a pity that she has a mother like you, who is to blame for being affected by you to become what she is now! ”
Seeing Bai Zonglin leaving, Mother Gu dared to come in, and saw Aunt Zhao's face full of tears and moved her lips, but she couldn't say a word. She is Aunt Zhao's confidant, and now that Aunt Zhao is gone, she can't stay in the Bai family.
"Auntie, the old slave will help you clean up, so you can bring more food and clothing, I'm afraid it will be ...... in the future."
Aunt Zhao turned a deaf ear, and her heart was already like ashes. After a long time, she said with difficulty: "Mother Gu, you help me do one last thing, and after the matter is completed, I will give you your deed, and you can take the rest of the money and go home to enjoy your old age." ”
Bai Yueyu was locked up in her yard, she knew that her father was here this time, so she patted the door panel and cried like crazy, saying that she wanted to see Aunt Zhao, which was her only hope now. But the gate of Chunhuayuan has been locked from the outside, and the little guy guarding the door doesn't pay attention to her at all.
Bai Yueyu cried and shouted and tossed for most of the day, like a crazy demon. The other girls and mothers-in-law hid in the house and didn't come out, only Kexin was sincere, and she kept persuading her until Bai Yueyu cried and fainted and hurriedly dragged people into the house and put them away.
Bai Yueyu slept groggily this night, and had a very long dream, a very ridiculous dream. Everything in the dream was so real, but it was the opposite of reality, which made her want to indulge in the dream and not want to wake up.
But there is always a time to wake up from a dream, just as Bai Yueyu dreamed that she had become Mrs. Song, who had become a beautiful lady, and helped her mother take care of the Qi family and Bai Boren, and held the Bai family firmly in her hands, she was suddenly awakened by a noise.
When she opened her eyes, all the good illusions disappeared, and there was a panic in front of her. Bai Yueyu remembered that she was going to be sent to the countryside today, and when she was panicking, she heard Ke Xin say: "Miss's day is mourning, my aunt ...... last night went. ”
