Chapter 1079: Brotherly Love?
Aunt Su knew that the old man was very angry, for so many years, he always hoped that Bai Lichen could eat with him, but Bai Lichen never promised him. And this time, Bai Lichen not only agreed to him, but also became a pro-wife with a pregnant wife to visit him.
Although she hated Bailichen, she knew she had to be patient. It's just that she didn't think that this girl was indeed spoiled by herself, and she dared to speak to Bai Lichen unceremoniously in front of the master.
Bai Lichen's father was very disappointed with Bai Li Yanran's attitude, and couldn't help but reprimand again: "Yan Ran, how can you be so ignorant? That's what your mother taught you on a daily basis? ”
Aunt Su heard that the old man was really angry, so she gave Baili Yanran a look and said, "Why don't you apologize to your eldest brother and sister-in-law soon?" ”
The tears in Baili Yanran's eyes were still rolling in her eyes, and she still looked aggrieved and said: "Big brother, sister-in-law, it's Yanran who is not sensible, please don't take it to heart." ”
Bai Lichen didn't even look at Yan Ran, and left the front hall with Bei Mingxue's hand. When the two of them walked to the back garden, Bai Lichen suddenly stopped, held Bei Mingxue's hand distressedly and said, "Xue'er, you have been wronged." ”
Bei Mingxue's heart warmed, knowing that Bai Lichen felt sorry for herself, but she couldn't let Bai Lichen worry about her, in order to let Bai Lichen rest assured, she said to Bai Lichen: "Where did I get wronged, but why did you do it to Bai Li Yanran, I was almost scared to death by you." ”
"That's her own death, dare to do it to you, it's just dead." As soon as Bai Lichen heard Yan Ran's name, an expression of disgust appeared on his face.
"Ah Chen, I know you spoil me, but she has always been your sister, although she was not born by a mother, but you also take care of your father, don't you?" Bei Mingxue said.
Bai Lichen smiled and said, "I know you must be curious, my attitude towards Bai Liyu is completely different from Bai Liyan, right?" ”
Bei Mingxue nodded and said, "I'm really curious, your attitude towards Baili Yu is really like seeing your younger brother, but your attitude towards Baili Yanran is very cold. But I know you have a reason for doing it. ”
Bai Lichen said leisurely: "You are right, it stands to reason that as an elder brother, you should love this sister very much." I'm just that, after all, I'm not a brother and sister of the same mother. However, even Bai Liyu's attitude towards her is a little cold, don't you think there is a problem? ”
"That's natural, how can anyone who is a brother not love his sister? At first, I just thought that she looked too much like Aunt Su, which is why you hated her so much. But I found that Bai Liyu shouldn't be like this, what the hell is going on? Bei Mingxue said puzzled.
Because she is not her father's daughter at all, Yanran was born after Aunt Su and her cousin fought. She thought she had hidden it from everyone, but she didn't expect that this matter would still be known to me and Bai Liyu. Bai Lichen said helplessly.
At that time, Bai Lichen was already fourteen years old, and Bai Liyu was also twelve years old. That year, Bailichen's mother was gone. He hated Aunt Su so much, but he couldn't hate Bai Liyu who was following his ass. My father was often absent from the house at that time, and he was locked up in the firewood room by her because of his quarrel with Aunt Su, and in the middle of the night, Bai Liyu stole some food from the kitchen and sent it to the firewood room. After Bai Lichen was full, he ran out with Bai Liyu, but happened to bump into Aunt Su and her cousin walking out of the back garden in rags. The conversation between the two was clearly heard by the two brothers. From that time on, they knew that Baili Yanran was not their sister, but the daughter born by Aunt Su.
"In other words, Bai Liyu saw his mother stealing people with his own eyes?" Bei Mingxue asked in surprise.
"Well, since then, Bai Liyu's words have become very rare. I know he hates his mother because he fears that he is not his father's son. In fact, he was too worried, and the words of Aunt Su and her cousin that night had already explained everything. Aunt Su's cousin did not get married, and complained that Aunt Su did not give birth to a boy for him that night. It's just that Bai Liyu's head exploded after hearing that Yanran was not his father's daughter, and he didn't listen to the conversation at all. Bai Lichen muttered.
Bei Mingxue sighed after listening to Bai Lichen talk about the past of the year, it turned out that Bai Lichen and Bai Liyu had such a good relationship. Thinking about it, the relationship between the two brothers is good, even Aunt Su can't think of it.
It's just that this Aunt Su is not small, and she actually cheated in her own house.
"Ah Chen, part of the reason why you chose to come back this time is for Bai Liyu, right?" Bei Mingxue asked.
Bai Lichen nodded and said, "You guessed right, when I heard that the person who caused those scholars to enter Yihong Mansion was Yu'er, I couldn't wait to arrest him and beat him." But I knew that even though he was young, he wouldn't be so reckless. I want to ask him for what he is doing this. ”
"I see that he has a great respect for you, and it stands to reason that he will not ruin your plans. I suspect that my father must have said something to him, and he probably thought that doing so would help you? Bei Ying Xue analyzed.
Bai Lichen had to admit that Bei Mingxue's analysis was correct, although Bai Liyu was smart, he was very simple. In this world, in addition to believing in himself, Bai Liyu is left with their father. So it's not hard to think that it should be his father who said something to him.
"You're right, it must have been something that my father said to him." Bai Lichen said.
"Looks like you're going to need to meet him alone." Bei Mingxue said with a smile.
She remembered what Bai Lichen said before leaving, and then she knew Bai Lichen's intentions.
As the two men spoke, they returned to their courtyard. After Beimingxue bathed and changed clothes, he pushed open the door and stood outside the door. He was worried that the North Stygian Snow would catch a cold, so he carried the Northern Stygian Snow into the house.
"I'm going to live here for a few days, I wonder if you're going to get used to it?" Bai Lichen asked.
"As long as I live with you, I'm sure I won't be unaccustomed to it." Bei Mingxue said.
Bai Lichen put Bei Ying Xue on the bed, and heard the sound of a cat meowing outside the window.
"He's here, Xue'er, you go to sleep first, don't stay up all night waiting for me without resting." Bai Lichen instructed.
"Okay." Bei Yingxue was indeed a little frightened today, after all, she didn't expect Baili Yanran to do it to herself.
After Bai Lichen left the house, he saw Bai Liyu on the roof.
"I knew you didn't sleep in the middle of the night and came here." Bai Lichen said.
"Big brother, although we haven't seen each other for a long time, I know that only you are the one who knows me best." Bai Liyu said.
"Yu'er, my eldest brother has something to ask you today, can you not lie to your eldest brother?" Bai Lichen asked.
Seeing that Bai Lichen was so serious, Bai Liyu said seriously: "I won't lie to my eldest brother." ”
"I remember that Yu'er was a kind-hearted child, but why did you want to harm those scholars?" Bai Lichen asked.
Bai Liyu's eyes didn't dare to look at Bai Lichen, and he knew that there was a ghost in his heart at a glance.
Bai Lichen didn't expose it, but sat there and stared at Bai Liyu slowly. Bai Liyu knew that he couldn't dodge, so he said to Bai Lichen: "I didn't harm them, I heard that several of them were able to be admitted to the imperial examination, not because they were really talented, but because they spent money." Father ......"
Bai Liyu knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Did your father tell you to do that?" Bai Lichen raised his eyebrows and asked.
Bai Liyu didn't speak, and looked at Bai Lichen with some hesitation.
"Speak." Bai Lichen said.
Bai Liyu said slowly: "Father said that a few of them will affect your future, and will also affect His Royal Highness the Hades King to inherit the throne. That's why they told me to put something in their wine, and they would naturally have a problem. Of course, they had already told me that the powder would not kill them. ”
"But have you ever thought that by doing this, you will ruin the future of several of them? When they take the imperial examination, they will only enter the top three by their own ability. And these people are also the people that His Royal Highness King Mo wants to reuse. Father always hoped that His Royal Highness Hades would inherit the throne, but he did not consider His Royal Highness's own feelings. Father is already obsessed, what about you? Bai Lichen thought for a while and said.
"So that's it? But why did my father lie to me? Bai Liyu asked suspiciously.
"Because he hopes that His Royal Highness Hades can inherit the throne, otherwise he wouldn't let you do it at this time." Bai Lichen said.
"Big brother, I really don't know if it's wrong to do this, so what should I do?" Bai Liyu asked worriedly.
"Do you still have the powder that your father gave you?" Bai Lichen asked.
Bai Liyu said: "The medicine powder is gone, but I haven't thrown away the paper containing the medicine powder yet, I don't know if it's useful?" ”
Bai Lichen said: "Great, it's too late today, remember to give it to me tomorrow." ”
Bai Lichen only wants to know the ingredients of the medicinal powder, so that he can know who the master behind his father is.
"Yes. However, the gossip about those scholars was spread everywhere. Big brother, what should I do? Bai Liyu said at a loss.
"Don't be anxious, I know it wasn't your intention." Bai Lichen persuaded.
Bai Liyu felt a little sad in his heart, it turned out that his father lied to him. I believe that if his father hadn't lied to him, he probably wouldn't have agreed to do this. But why did my father do this? Maybe my father wants His Royal Highness Hades to inherit the throne, but His Royal Highness Hades has no ambition at all.
"Big brother, my father has been very close to Master Shangshu recently, and their family is still discussing the marriage of our two families. I see that Master Shangshu has been smiling, but he doesn't look like a good person. You say, could it be that he instigated his father to do this? Bai Liyu suddenly remembered Lord Shangshu and spoke.
Bai Lichen nodded and found the source. It turned out that Master Shangshu secretly had contact with his father, and he didn't know what to say to his father in private, so he actually got his father to agree to do so. My father's courage is really not small, this is a crime of deception.
"Don't worry, I'll persuade my father. Recently Su ...... Is there any movement from your mother? Bai Lichen asked.
"Mother has restrained a lot, but she has often gone to Shangshu Mansion to drink tea with Mrs. Shangshu recently." Bai Liyu said.
"When you go back, don't ask or say anything, leave everything to me." Bai Lichen said.
"Big brother, does Lord Shangshu really want His Royal Highness Hades to inherit the throne?" Bai Liyu asked suspiciously.
"Why do you ask?" After listening to Bai Liyu's words, Bai Lichen felt very curious. Could it be that Bai Liyu saw Lord Shangshu's ambition?
