Bai Lichen knew that his father should be doubting himself, after all, he had never thought of taking the initiative to return home. What's even more coincidental is that as soon as something happened to those scholars, he took Bei Yingxue back to his house.

Of course, he has a good reason, that is, because Bei Mingxue is pregnant, so he will bring her back. Let my father believe that their return this time had nothing to do with those scholars, it was just a coincidence.

"Father, the most likely thing is that those scholars were drunk and thrown into Yihong Courtyard." Bai Lichen said.

"No, there were many people who saw the three of them enter Yihong Courtyard that night, and it wasn't until the next morning that it was discovered that these people had no money to pay the bill." Bai Lichen's father said.

"That's probably like my father said, they are really lustful people, greedy for beauty before entering the Yihong Courtyard. Being taken away is simply self-inflicted, and has nothing to do with anyone. Bai Lichen thought for a while and said.

"You also came back from studying medicine in the Medicine King Valley, don't you suspect that they were drugged?" Bai Lichen's father stared at Bai Lichen and said.

Bai Lichen shook his head and said, "There is no medicine in this world that makes people think after taking it. Even if there is a kind of medicine that can control people, after being drugged, people will be confused and become unconscious. What's more, they talked and laughed and entered Yihong Courtyard? ”

"So you mean, no one wants to harm them?" Bai Lichen's father continued to ask.

"Father, what's wrong with you today, why do you keep mentioning these three scholars? Moreover, why would anyone want to harm good scholars? Bai Lichen asked pretending to be puzzled.

"I heard that these scholars were selected by Ah Ye, and I have some suspicions that these things are all manipulated by Ye Tianmo." Bai Lichen's father said.

Bai Lichen didn't speak, because although he didn't believe in Ye Tianmo, he also knew that Ye Tianmo had changed a lot now. He didn't know what his father was saying this for, but he knew that he would take the opportunity to make his own words.

"Why don't you speak?" Bai Lichen's father saw that Bai Lichen didn't speak, so he asked.

"What do you want me to say? I wasn't familiar with those three scholars, but I knew that Ye Tianmo had no reason to do so. And I came back this time only to visit you, and I didn't want to discuss inconsequential matters with you. Bai Lichen raised his eyebrows and said.

"Bring Cher over in the evening, let's have a meal together." Bai Lichen's father said.

"Father, you know we'll never be able to eat at the same table." Bai Lichen suddenly said to his father with a cold face.

"After so many years, are you still haunted by that incident?" Father also said a little angrily.

"If it weren't for her, would my mother have died? I knew that my father didn't care about my mother at all, otherwise I wouldn't have raised my mother to be his wife less than a month after her death. But Father, do you really think she's genuinely good to you? Bai Lichen said with a sneer.

Every time Bai Lichen mentioned his mother, Bai Lichen's father was silent. How can they forget their relationship for so many years? It's just that he really liked the new and hated the old at the beginning, which caused Bailichen to have no mother.

"Father, if there is nothing wrong, then I will go back." Bai Lichen got up and said.

If Bai Lichen hadn't wanted to know the person behind his father, he would have left the mansion with Bei Mingxue a long time ago.

"Stop!" Bai Lichen's father called out to Bai Lichen.

Bai Lichen stopped, and stood there without even looking back. Every time he returned, his father wanted the family to dine together, and he still remembered that after his father said it for the first time, he slapped his father's desk into scrap with one palm.

Bai Lichen's father didn't expect that Bai Lichen's temper was still so stubborn, so he said: "I thought that after you became your own son, your temper would be gentler." Every time you mention eating together, you sulk without saying a word. You are the future leader of my Baili family, do you plan to eat at the same table forever? ”

Bai Lichen sneered and said, "The head of the Baili family? Hehe, it's just a joke. You tell me which one in the house regards me as the eldest young master? In their hearts, I'm afraid there is only one young master. Even an aunt dared to make irresponsible remarks about me and Cher. I don't care, I've long been accustomed to the white eyes of the Baili family. But Xue'er is different, she has been raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child, when has she been humiliated like this? ”

"Ah Chen, I have already severely punished Aunt Cheng just now, I believe she will not dare to be disrespectful to you in the future." Bai Lichen's father said.

"As I just said, I don't care what she thinks of me." Bai Lichen said coldly.

"After all these years as a father, I have always thought about your mother. Because of guilt, I have indulged you for many years. I know you have knots, and I never pressed you to do something. Aunt Cheng is disrespectful to you, so naturally she should be punished. Bai Lichen's father muttered.

"Father, I have been struggling for a long time to be able to call you father. I know you've never pressed me to do anything over the years. But you connived at the disrespect of people up and down the house, and you didn't treat me as a child of the Baili family at all. If it weren't for Ah Ye, I'm afraid I would have been abandoned by you a long time ago. Bai Lichen said slowly.

"Your mind is too heavy, and you're always cranky. How can I condone my subordinates to be disrespectful to you? Bai Lichen's father explained.

"Father, Aunt Cheng is an example, how many of your aunts can afford me? If you don't say something cool every day, you're already thankful. Bai Lichen said.

Bai Lichen's father did not continue to explain because he was in a loss. He sighed softly, waved his hand to Bai Lichen, and said, "You go back first, because my father knows that it's time to review." ”

After Bai Lichen heard his father's words, he turned his head and saw his father's old face. Over the years, he didn't care about his father, it turned out that his father's back had been bent. Strangely, my father's face was a little pale, as if he was very unwell.

He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he closed his mouth and left the study.

When he returned to the yard, he found it full of things. He was a little confused, and was about to ask someone about it, when he heard a noise again.

He went out of the courtyard and stood at the door, and found that it was the butler who was instructing his subordinates to carry things into his yard.

"Young Master." The butler said respectfully.

"Uncle Xiang, what is this for? Why did you suddenly move so many things? Bai Lichen asked.

"It was ordered by the master, she said that after the young lady became pregnant, she needed to drink some supplements every day, so she asked the servant to arrange it and let someone send it in. Also, you haven't lived here since you returned to Nanzhao. The old man specially instructed to change some new bedding. Uncle Xiang said carefully.

If it was some supplements, Bailichen didn't plan to keep them, but the new bedding did need to be replaced.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiang." Bai Lichen said.

"Young Master, the master sent Aunt Cheng to the dungeon in the mansion." Uncle Xiang said to Bai Lichen.

Bai Lichen sneered: "If my father had done this earlier, I wouldn't have been so indifferent to him. ”

Uncle Xiang, the housekeeper, showed a look of embarrassment on his face, as if he had something to say to Bai Lichen.

Bai Lichen saw that Uncle Xiang seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked, "Uncle Xiang, do you have something to say?" ”

"Young Master, in fact, the old man's health is very poor, and he often vomits blood. The servant advised him to wait for you to come back and take a good look at what was wrong with him. However, the old man's temper is exactly the same as yours, and he does not listen to the advice of the slave at all. He said you finally came back once, and he didn't want you to worry about him. I don't want the slave to tell you, but the slave looks at the old man, and he really can't bear it. Uncle Xiang said embarrassedly.

"Father is sick? Even if he doesn't look for me, he can find a doctor in the city, right? Bai Lichen heard that his father was sick, and hurriedly asked.

"I found it, and I earned several doctors, but they all said that they couldn't diagnose any problems, but they just said that the master's lungs were not good, and I was afraid that he had tuberculosis. In fact, when you came back, the master was not in the study at all, but lying on the bed. In the past few days, I have relied on the decoction prescribed by the doctor, otherwise I will often cough up blood. The butler said.

"Why did you keep it a secret, old man?" Bai Lichen frowned and said.

"The slave said so much, just hoping that the relationship between the eldest young master and the old master could be eased a little. In fact, the tempers of the old man and the eldest young master are very similar, so every time they meet, they want to ask for explosives. Uncle Xiang said.

"Thank you Uncle Xiang for reminding me, otherwise, I will regret it for the rest of my life. Uncle Xiang, don't worry, I will find an opportunity to diagnose my father's pulse. Bai Lichen thought for a while and said.

"Then the minion will be relieved." Uncle Xiang said with a sigh of relief.

After Uncle Xiang left, Bai Lichen entered the house and found that Bei Mingxue had fallen asleep. He tucked the corners of the quilt for Bei Mingxue, and then flew out of the courtyard.

Bai Lichen returned to the palace with light work, and after finding Feng Mingye, he told him about the things in the mansion.

"Uncle is actually sick. Why is he hiding it from us? Feng Mingye muttered.

"Ah Ye, could my father be the master we guessed?" Bai Lichen asked.

"No, it won't. I suspect he's been poisoned, otherwise he wouldn't have coughed up blood all of a sudden. Murong Xi replied after hearing this.

After Murong Xi stood aside and heard Bai Lichen's words, he knew that Bai Lichen's father seemed to be poisoned by Gu poison, so his reaction would be different from ordinary people.

"Poisoned? Why didn't I find out? Bai Lichen asked suspiciously.

"You've never cared about your father, so naturally you can't feel the change in him. However, as you just said, your father's face is a little pale and he has lost a lot of weight. This looks like tuberculosis, but in fact, it is also a kind of Gu poison. Fortunately, Uncle Xiang reminded you, otherwise you will really regret missing the best time to solve the Gu. Murong Xi analyzed.

"Then I'll go back first to find an opportunity to check his pulse, since he deliberately wants to hide from us, then I'll secretly check his pulse." Bai Lichen said.

"If you really fall for the Gu, you come back as soon as possible and inform us. When the time comes, we will find a way to unravel your father's Gu. Murong Xi thought for a while and said.

"Xi'er, I can't see what Gu he has fallen for now, right?" Feng Mingye asked.

"Yes, the person who gave Gu to his father is very smart, and the symptoms after being poisoned by Gu are very similar to tuberculosis. I believe that Bai Lichen's father must have treated Zhong Gu as tuberculosis. Murong Xi continued.

"Ah Chen, you go back first, you can't leave Bei Yingxue in the mansion for too long." Feng Mingye said.

"Okay, if there's anything going on, I'll come back and talk to you as soon as possible." Bai Lichen said with a heavy heart.
